World Noodle

Definitely a great place for indecisive people! World Noodle has Asian noodle dishes from around the world and it’s perfect when you can’t decide if you want thai, japanese, vietnamese, and so on. I’ve been here a few times and it has not disappointed me yet. The price is just right for the portion and the food is authentic. The first time I came here I was worried that they wouldn’t be able to capture the flavors of various cultures; I thought their menu was too diverse and there was no way they could make good Japanese food while making good thai food, but turns out I was wrong. Everything is delicious! My one recommendation to anyone who comes here is to eat the Roti on the appetizer menu, it is my favorite!!! For dinner, I recommend the pad tai, now normally I wouldn’t recommend it anywhere else, but here the pad tai is so traditional and there is no other place that makes it like this. Other entrées I recommend are the Drunken Noodles and the Hainan Chicken, both well made dishes. This is a place I will keep coming back to because they exceed in quality and authenticity!

We came to eat here during dinner hours. The parking lot to the plaza was packed, but when we walked in here, the place was dead and empty. And after my experience here, I can see why.
This place is garbage. If I could give it zero stars, I would.
First off, TERRIBLE customer service. We were literally the only people in the place, and the waitress was bumbling about in such a rush she didn’t even take a our drink order. She just brought us both water (which neither of us wanted). Also didn’t ask what level of spiciness we wanted our food to be, they asked that every time we came in before and she seemed irritated when I reminded her. She was unhappy and angry we were there.
We both got the Singapore Noodle, which «vegetables» consisted of a lot of onions and just a few slices of peppers. How cheap. Cheap as in low quality food. The prices are anything but. A handful of salad in a sauce bowl is $ 5.00.
As we reached the end of our meal, I had a whole half of my meal left on my plate, my boyfriend asked, word for word «a to-​go box and the check». She grabbed up our plates and threw them in the back, in the trash. No mediocre noodles for me to snack on later. Lame.
This place is just plain BAD and you should invest your money in another one of the great restaurants in the area.

One of the best boat noodle soups I’ve ever eaten! I ordered the boat noodle soup, with the regular phở noodles and spicy level of 7. The amount of spiciness, noodles, and meat & veggies that accompanied it was PERFECT!
Their papaya salad, beef salad, and the rice & chicken dish were delicious as well! The rice and chicken dish may be bland, but if you ask for the ginger fish sauce with hot peppers, it serves as a perfect dipping sauce for it.
Spiciness level is on a 1 – 10 scale, with 1 being no spice and 10 being very spicy.
I noticed that they serve ramen and some sort of Korean soup stew dish. In my opinion, I think it’s best to stick to the South East Asian soups since it seems like their Thai owned. Just a thought.

Decided to pick out a random place to eat at and World Noodle was the winner. The place itself wasn’t that busy. The service was great, I ordered the Thai Boat Noodle for the first time which was recommend by the waitress. It seems to be more of a Thai restaurant so I didn’t want to order anything else. My food came out and it was decent. It reminded me of a spicy thick broth beef phở. It was pretty good until I bit into a huge chunk of liver which was my fault for forgetting to tell them to order without. Would come back again

Great overall experience from beginning to end, service was good the staff was nice and kept checking on us often and kept our glasses full. One bad note only two free refill drink item green tea or jasmine tea and of course water. Only canned sodas and specialty drinks otherwise. I got the roast duck noodle soup with rice noodles my gf the tom yum soup with shrimp and udon. I liked hers better then mine but both were really good and better than expected price was very inexpensive and servings were pretty big. Will definitely be coming back.

My favorite pad see ew in Vegas so far!
Very friendly staff!
Lots of veggie options as well!

Very friendly quick service and food is always good and fresh.
Clean tables and utensils. Relaxing casual environment good for small groups or a casual date night. A variety of foods for even the pickiest of eaters.
Try something new each time or find one thing you like it will be great each time.

I feel so bad for writing this review but, it must be done. My sis and I wanted to eat good, hot Thai food and we walked into this place, since Ichiza was closed around lunch.
I ordered the shoyu Ramen noodles bowl with ground pork. It was presented okay, but there wasn’t any flavor whatsoever. I told the nice waitress and she apologized. I opted for the roasted such and rice. The duck was tasty but cold and the rice seemed old. The waitress then came back to tell me the cook forgot to put the flavor packet in the soup. Whoa. flavor packet? Sorry… I’m not coming back to eat overpriced packet ramen.
2 stars for the attempt to make me happy though.

I went with the duck noodle soup because I was skeptical ordering phở or ramen — I’ll save that for a phở/​ramen shop.
If I ever come back here I’ll be sure to tell them to skip the cup of sugar. Way way too sweet — I liked the duck and all the veggies in the soup though.

Was here about 11 pm on Fri/​21 Feb.
— Had the Thai Boat (?) Noodle, which was ok. With tax it came out to $ 9.12.
— Nice place, décor hasn’t really changed since the place was Animé Ramen.
— Good service. Waitress forgot to provide napkins (and there were none on the table) but not a big deal.
— Will give the eatery another try, probably the dry (ie no soup) Drunken Noodle dish.

I really wanted to give World Noodle more stars but I just can’t come around to do it. It is kinda like its predecessor Animé Noodle, not bad but not amazing either. What is it… the location? I just wasn’t overall super impressed for what the place is supposed to be.
We came on a super busy Friday night on a weekend where it was around Chinese New Year. There was no parking AT ALL in the mall where World Noodle is located so we had to park in the mall right next door. Only problem was, security was there that night to tell us if we didn’t purchase anything from the mall, our car could be towed! WTH? Many people were doing the same thing by the way. So we quickly went to Mr. Sandwich and purchased a #1 House Special sandwich to go. Almost $ 4 later and a receipt to show the security guard we walked back over to World Noodle.
I’m not gonna say this was an omen but when we walked in to World Noodle, it was darn near a ghost town. Only 3 – 4 tables were taken with patrons, the rest were empty. This is just coming from outside now… where Sushi Kaya next door had a waiting line outside, and the restaurants upstairs were full of patrons. What gives? I swear it is the location of any restaurant that sets up shop here in this corner. Bad news.
We are greeted and seated promptly then shown to a table. The menus are very nice, I’ll give World Noodle that. Very bright, easy to read, colorful, and with pictures! We wanted to visit because we heard the Big Kahuna here (Chef Amy) is a very good and well known Thai chef. This is supposed to be her baby.
After getting our drinks we get around to ordering. The little one got a regular order or Crispy Chicken ($ 8.50), and the wifey got the Beef Chow Fun ($ 7.95?). I ended up getting the special Mini Noodle Hot Pot ($ 10.99) because of the flyer on the table. I chose the Tom Yum soup with beef, and ramen noodles.
Within 15 minutes our food started to come out from the kitchen. I try to be more portion-​controlled now-​a-​days but… it seemed like so little food! That was my main gripe. The portion of Crispy Chicken was like one row of a small chicken breast or thigh, barely enough to feed my growing 11 year old. It tasted good and well flavored, but looking at the chicken on the inside, seemed like it was pounded pretty flat before frying. My kid ended up still hungry and sharing our food. The wifey’s Beef Chow Fun was just how I like it, with green onions and bean sprouts. But again, the portion was on the small side! Luckily my wife was willing to share, it tasted good. My Mini Noodle Hot Pot was just that, mini. The picture makes it look bigger, but trust me, it’s mini! So yes, World Noodle is right on that one. This hot pot is great for maybe one little person, but a guy like me, I’m looking for a bit more substance. Bad thing is, it was good! The Tom Yum soup was super spicy (which I didn’t mind but my kid did), and the thin beef cooked well in the broth along with the other included goodies like the cabbage and enoki mushrooms. The ramen was good in the soup, but again… so little to go around! It was a small portion of ramen. I wish I could have had more to begin with, but I was a bit ashamed to ask, nor was I offered it. By the time I was done, I had so much leftover Tom Yum soup boiling away in my mini hot pot with nothing else to put in. Such a shame. So, so sad.
Tasty food was a plus. Tiny portions was a minus. But service was prompt and very friendly, no complaints there. Price for what you get would be more reasonable if the portions were just a bit bigger. On our way out we were envious of all the folks in Kaya Sushi doing AYCE sushi! Damn buggers! So we did leave still a bit hungry. Luckily I had that #1 House Special sandwich from Mr. Sandwich waiting for me. Just me.

I wanted to give this place 4 stars, but… This is a new business, and the lady who served us was nice enough that I want them to do well. However, World Noodle really had nothing extraordinary, or even competitive, to offer!
They are more of a Thai/​Chinese fusion cuisine, which seems to be the next big thing nowadays. They had these Thai dumplings, wrapped in cooked mochis with either taro, chives or bamboos. We tried all three prepared fried, and they were good to try if you like cooked mochi and these somewhat authentic dishes.
I had their special noodle (I can’t remember the name now; I think it was the World Noodle?), and it was decent. It was exactly how I had expected it but a bit sweeter than I thought it should be. The bf ordered the duck noodle, and it was much sweeter than what we thought it should be since the soup was more of a soy sauce base.
To make it a bit more harder to give it more stars than I want to, we were the only patrons there when we arrived a little past five. We were still the only patrons there when we left 40 minutes later.
Like I said, if you’re looking to venture into a new restaurant for the sake of going to a new restaurant, by all means, go grab a bowl of noodle at World Noodle. But if you’re in the mood for some comfort-​food noodle, World Noodle may not be for you…

Much like Private Benjamin Buford ‘Bubba’ Blue’s obsession with shrimp in the movie Forest Gump, World Noodle has but one singular passion:
Noodles!
You can get reasonably priced noodle dishes from almost every region of Asia.
Craving Japanese ton kotsu ramen? Yeah they have it. Korean budae jiggae? Check. Thai khao soi & pad see yew? Yep.
Look. You can probably get slightly better versions of the various dishes in restaurants specializing in only one of the regional cuisines. Ton kotsu ramen, I’m looking at you *monta ramen* *cough*.
But where World Noodle shines is the huge variety of noodle dishes it offers. There is something for everyone.

I had my doubts when I first entered World Noodle BC nobody was dinning in for lunch on a Thursday except myself. BTW this place has no association with the Noodle World located in Alhambra So Ca.
The selection here is overwhelming — soup noodle from just about every Asian country and to boot they offer Shabu Shabu. Playing it safe I ordered the Thai soup noodles medium spicy with flat noodles. My soup noodles were yummy — the broth was spicy & contained generous amounts of protein and noodles. As I enjoyed my meal in came four new clients which confirmed what my taste buds were telling me — that this place is legit.
I’m looking forward to returning on my next trip and trying another soup noodle entrée.

I went here on Sunday night with some friends around 7 pm. Only one other party in the restaurant. The décor was decent, nothing too memorable, but at least there was some décor and it was clean. The waitress was very nice and we were promptly seated and she took our drink order immediately. I asked her what she recommended overall and she said the miso ramen, shoyu ramen and beef stew. I think it was beef stew, I can’t remember the name, but it was the on the right side bottom of the menu on the noodle page…
I tried the miso ramen. I didn’t particularly care for it, I am used to the tonkotsu broth and I think that this was just miso based. I thought the broth lacked flavor and the noodles they used were instant. Which would make sense as that is what they were advertised on the wall. Not impressed with the use of instant noodles.
Also, had the takoyaki — I admit I have a high standard for takoyaki as I grew up eating it in Japan. This did not fit the bill, but was a good effort, there was one small piece of octopus in the middle. I am pretty sure they balls were fried and not steamed, nonetheless I enjoyed them as it has been too long since I have had any.
Everyone else seemed to be happy with their choices and the server refilled my husband’s countless ice teas without complaint.

It’s a great concept — no more arguing over what kind of asian to get, everybody can have the asian cuisine they want in one place. Unfortunately, execution… not so good. I feel kind of bad leaving 2 stars — I wanted to like this place since the servers and chefs were very sweet. Unfortunately, 3 out of 3 things we ordered were not very good, and it’s doubtful that I’ll give this place another try.
Shoyu ramen was bland and pretty tasteless, pad see ew was decent but the sauce was weirdly sweet. I didn’t care for the flavor, but my friend who had never had pad see ew anywhere else said it was pretty good. The roast duck soup w/​ramen had a fair amount of boneless roast duck, but like the pad see ew, the flavor of the broth was extremely sweet. The noodles in both soups were also soft and slightly overcooked.
Other reviews seem overall positive, so maybe we just chose the wrong things to try. I won’t be back, but world noodle is maybe worth trying if you research what’s good. Another thing to note is that the majority of the pics on Unilocal are posted by the business, so they’re staged, not really user pics. The Unilocal app doesn’t show who posted pics, so I didn’t know until I got to the restaurant and saw the same pics printed in their menu. A little misleading…

I love me some noodles, so why not give this place a shot. The name alone says a lot, just know, there is much more to the menu than just long stringy carbs.
The joint was clean and well lit, unlike the previous owner, Animé Ramen. Still, some manga chicks would have set it off. The décor was also neat and tidy, incorporating straight high back wooden booths you typically see in Thai restaurants made in teak. It’s rather quiet and intimate if one is looking for that.
So since World Noodle also dishes out entrée’s and appetizer’s, it offers a vast assortment for whatever your mood may be. With the variety provided, like another Unilocaler pointed out, it’s beneficial to have images included with the descriptions. I also dig how the menus are in reverse, true ninja ish.
The waiter, a quiet young gentlemen, suggested the World Noodle, apparently their flagship dish. My partner powered the beef noodle soup with ramen noodles. I added papaya salad as an app as well. The waiter asked what spice level I desired, usually a tell tale sign that they packing some heat! Also, this was another indicator that the owner could be Thai. I got the bowl at a 7 and the salad at an 8, respectively.
The papaya Salad came out rather quick and was pretty tasty. It was a little on the sweet side, but packed some good spice. Once the bowls arrived, I noticed that they were well presented, hot and ready to eat. I always test the broth and can’t say that I have tarred anything like this on the past. I was expecting something more like tom yum soup, however, it was way more sweet. The char siu was tender and the fish balls and cake were soft. Vermicelli noodles were included, but egg noodles can be an alternative. Mid way through the bowl, the unique flavor begin to resonate. It was a creeper, but was delicious with each slurp I took. My buddy is reluctant at times with trying new places, although, once he have his approval, I knew that this place was good to go.
Solution the check with the waiter was painless and pleasant. Unlike previous comments about the wait stash being unhelpful on the past, this was not the case during our visit. I think the warden would approve as well and has bookmarked this spot for the future
I later found that the owner is of Thai descent, so you know they can throw down. Just a fun find for myself, I like to keep entertained.

Sometimes you find restaurants where the people are nice, but clueless. That was our experience at World Noodle. We ate there on 1÷1÷14 for lunch, and the small place was packed. We ordered and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited. The waitress said only two people were working that day, but still.
About 45 minutes into our wait, still no appetizer, they started serving tables that had been seated AFTER us. We said something and the waitress was apologetic.
Another 5 – 10 minutes went by and the appetizer (pot stickers) and the main courses arrived simultaneously. That was 100% predictable, although the tables that had been seated after us received a proper sequence. My dish, my favorite Thai noodle dish whose spelling escapes me at the moment, was utterly tasteless. I mean nothing. The wife got some kind of curry with broth. The beef was tender but the broth was so salty that it was inedible. Shortly after we ate my stomach started to feel funky.
The men’s room had no paper towels. The women’s room had towels but no soap. The two people working were women so you don’t want to think about the restaurant not having soap in the restroom.
I am giving the place two stars because the waitress was really apologetic, but to be honest it was a one star experience and the food was not good at all.
Would not even think about returning.

It was a little quiet at work so I decided it was a good day to have an offsite lunch. I Unilocaled new spots in Chinatown.
Yes, this is the old Animé place, and the maid place which I did not get to try. It is next door to Kaya Sushi.
We ordered the Roti to start and it was one of the best in Las Vegas, next to Island Malaysian and Veggie House. It was freshly sauteed and fluffy. The sauce was slightly spicy but nothing too fancy (because the Roti was the star).
I read the restaurant was opened by Thai people so I was hesitant about ordering anything not Thai or Southeast Asian, but my Ramen craving was still going strong, so I had to try their Tonkatsu Ramen. The ramen was the thin noodle kind, with a really tasty, savory and sticky broth. The pork was tender, sliced really thin, and was surprisingly good. The major difference was that there were fried shallots added, and that totally changed the flavor profile, in a good way.
I was also able to try a slice of the roasted pork from another noodle soup dish, and again, it was surprisingly good, sliced thin and flavorful.
Side note, their entire menu is pictorial, so that made it really easy to pick what to order!
I would absolutely come back… to try the other menu items, as well as the Roti again!

This place deserves a review so it stays in business, because I need it to! :)
I’m always craving the combination of spicy with a touch of sweet and sour and the noodle bowls hit the spot! I’ve been here 3X in the last week.
This new place should not be mistaken for what used to be here, which was animé ramen which then turned to maid ramen. Unlike the former, it actually has good food and I like that there’s two sizes (small and large).
The Thai boat noodle and the roast duck noodle are really good. I tried the ramen and it was only ok. Seeing that it’s a Thai owned restaurant, in my opinion, I’d recommend sticking with the Thai dishes. (Note: the roast duck is more thai flavored… not like the one you would find at Chinese restaurants).
Since I can’t go to LA or SF to get my fix, this is the closest I’ve come to eating Thai boat noodle in Vegas that’s comparable. I usually get an 8, which is just perfect for me. Looking forward to trying a 10 next time I’m here which will be real soon.
