Kinda of hard to find (with no signs, pls fix that, i had to ask random people on the st for the entrance). But man do they make some banging noodles. My rec is the noodle combo with pork belly and spinach. Bit steep at $20 (as of the time of review) especially since it's in east oakland but to be fair, i don't miss my $. it was that good.
I loved this place when I was finally able to eat here. That's why it's going to be such a shame when they're out of business in 6 months. Three of the four times I've tried to eat at Noodle Belly during their "regular business hours" they have been Closed, Closing, or not open yet. If I can't rely on a restaurant to be open when they say they will be, then I'm not going to waste my time walking over.
We celebrated my best friend's birthday with some of our college friends, we had a fun night. It was my first time here, loved the place. Owner and the staff were so nice and cheerful, ambience felt like I was at my grandmother's place.Noodle Belly is a hidden gem next to Fruitvale Bart, you can park at Bart garage, walk around the corner for entrance.Their garlic noodles was chewy, garlicky & flavorful, you can pick your protein & veggies.'Halo at me' drink, oh boy...not to be missed, lil bit of sweet savory & good amount of liquor.Be mindful and cleanup when you are done, as it is self service.Definitely recommend to try their food and drinks, it will not disappoint.
Honestly I never leave reviews, but Kevin the owner of Noodle Belly is one of the kindest and most gracious restaurant owners I've had the pleasure of buying food from. Not only is the food exceptionally delicious but his passion for his business is inspiring. Not only should you eat here, but tell your friends to eat here. You deserve it, Kevin deserves it, and your friends deserve it.
Great food, made fresh & fast. Wings with homemade ranch, always great. But we got the special whole fish with noodles & vegetables, AMAZING!!They are a part of a community kitchen/seating area so there are a few other options of food available to try as well & a bar. Outside seating with patio heaters, TVs & music. Great place to hang out & chill.Parking is limited. The best option is parking at Fruitvale BART then crossing the street. See photos for the outside from the street. It's located behind the black building.
Delicious food, nice environment and super friendly people, truly recommend
I’m craving these noodles again and it’s only been two days. The texture easily tops other noodles I’ve had in the East Bay. Cool drinks too, I had the Tamarind Margarita but people seemed to really enjoy the Halo At Me since the presentation was fun (coconut whipped cream?!) You can tell they care about quality.
First and foremost the lemonade has no business being as good as it is !!! ADDICTIVE!!!! 10 outta 10 would recommend. The popcorn chicken is delicious and love the lemon pepper shrimp .
Just stopped by there and I'm so happy that I did. We grabbed a couple of noodle combos. One with pork belly and broccolini and one with fried chicken and elote. This is highly craveable comfort food. The fried chicken bits were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. So tasty. The pork belly was succulent and delicious.Perfect comfort food. We'll be back.P.s. Try the lemonade, you won't regret it
The food Ami’s fantastic AND the Noodle kits are amazing.
