Noodles in Madison, WI

“wow. some of the best pho i’ve ever had. the broth is insanely flavorful and the beef steak is super good quality and tender. the staff is also super nice and quick! i got my pho within 3 minutes of ordering!! this is my new favorite spot!“

“You know the food is going to be delicious, when you hear the pressure cooker releasing steam in the kitchen. And the items we ordered did not disappoint.

We ordered Ngoethuk, Mothuk, Tingmo, and the famed butter tea. Ngoethuk (chow mein) comes with a side of delicious broth. The hearty Mothuk (dumplings in a soup) warms the soul. The spice levels are adjustable for all items.

Although savory, we saved the butter tea and the Tingmo (rolled steamed bread) for “dessert”.

The servers are friendly and the atmosphere is cozy, yet welcoming. It feels like I am at my friend’s house and their parents are feeding us.

We have been there twice now and always look forward to going back to try out their other menu items.“

“Everything was delicious!“

“The food here is excellent (especially the noodle soups, cucumber salad, and beef in spicy sauce appetizer). The service is friendly and the place is clean. Counter service. They serve the soups with noodles on the side so they don't overcook. Would recommend.“

“Had another amazing meal at Ruyi!!!! Keep making your noodles and we’ll keep eating there! 5 ⭐️!!!!“

“The noodles here are absolutely delicious! They have the perfect texture—chewy and fresh, cooked to just the right firmness. The flavors are rich and well-balanced, and each bite is incredibly satisfying. The broth is full of depth and pairs perfectly with the noodles, creating a mouthwatering combination. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic, flavorful noodles!“

“My friend and I both got mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was good, but I would recommend making the switch back to 100% ceramic bowls. She was upset to have received a plastic bowl and stated that it “ruined her experience” employees were nice, building is pretty.“

“Noodles is a very unique place when it comes to serving pasta. I ordered the bbq mac n cheese a couple of times, it’s very damn good. Also, the inside may not be very big but it’s very appealing to look around. 9/10, would recommend

Kid-friendliness: There’s a lot of high schoolers who go there for lunch’s and whiles it’s busy they all keep there cool.“

“Coming from a vietnamese person who is hungover and needed a bowl of pho:

Broth: 9/10 - The most important part! A clean, clear broth which should be the goal whereas many other restaurants will make it with meat residue and oil which is a no from me. A bit of condiments of your choice and a lime will bring out the flavors even more if you find the flavor a bit lacking.

Portion 0 - The rau was disappointing with 3 basil leaves and a bit of bean sprout. A good vietnamese restaurant should have a large portion of herbs for your pho or bun! However, we are in Madison so it could be the reason why the rau was that little. I ordered a large pho tai which had 7 slices of beef which I felt satisfied overall, but much lower than what I would have wanted. For a normal size adult; I would recommend an appetizer along with your entry.

Overall, compared to other vietnamese restaurants near here, I say this one taste a bit better than the rest.“

“now test is good and food decorate is look good only Padthai test ok but noodles must make more solf then will perfect“

“I love this place. Dumplings are good, noodles are good and the buns are good. Ive only gone a couple of times, and only when I have the money since its a bit pricey, but it if def worth it. It tastes really good and you get a good amount of food.“

“Have ordered delivery twice through Uber Eats. Delicious and steaming hot, and everything is made to order as requested. May be our new favorite Chinese takeout!“
