Noodle Soup

Last week, I finally popped my @noodlessoup_btn cherry to see what all the hype was about. After years of success at their original West Street location, they opened a second site last year on London Road, aptly named Noodle Street. If you haven’t come across them before, they’re a cash-only, Asian quick-service restaurant specialising in ramen noodle soups in a wide range of flavours, along with an assortment of Asian-style side dishes

I went for the Roast Duck with Singapore Laksa Noodle Soup, which was not only packed with rich, authentic flavours but also incredibly generous in portion size. You can choose your preferred type of noodles, which added a nice personal touch to the dish. My friend had the King Prawns with Tom Yum Noodle Soup—again, a huge bowl bursting with fresh ingredients and bold flavours. A quick note: both dishes were on the spicier side, so if you're not a fan of heat, it’s worth asking them to tone down the chillies—I’m sure they’d be happy to accommodate

We also tried a selection of sides: spring rolls, steamed prawn dumplings, crispy wontons, and spare ribs in black bean sauce. Personally, I found the sides a bit underwhelming. The ribs were too soft for my liking and lacked depth of flavour, and the dumplings were rather bland—especially compared to the standout soups. That said, the soups alone are worth the visit, and honestly, they're so filling you probably won't need sides anyway

Overall, I can absolutely see why this place has such a loyal following. The soups are vibrant, tasty, and offer plenty of variety—there really is something for everyone. I’ll definitely be back to try more; they’re great value for money and packed with all the comforting, bold ramen flavours you’d hope for.
