| - 3.5 for food and 0.5 alone for good service.
After half an hour of reading Yelp reviews and deliberating over whether we wanted to pay higher than LA prices for Asian cuisine , we sucked it up and decided to give Noodles a try.
Decor and ambience: not at all pretentious. Moderate Asian influence, minimalist decor, and comfortable atmosphere. Seating is away from the gaming floor so you forget you are at a casino.
Food: had the sweet and spicy noodle and Mandarin beef stew. Flavors were good and meat was flavorful and tender. The place is known for its wonton soup, but we were not in the mood for it this evening. Looking around at other tables, classic dishes like the fried rices and BBQ pork looked excellent. The menu is a fusion of Thai, Vietnamese, and Chinese flavors / dishes.
Service: excellent - we arrived hungry and ready to over order. To our surprise, and in an environment where we expect to be upsold, our waiter was extremely helpful in deciding how much to order and flat said No when I wanted to get a third dish, Lol. This was a huge service because being on vacation, I would have had no where to keep the leftovers. All staff were courteous and very accommodating as well.
Portion size is relative. Contrary to many of the reviews in Yelp, we found the portions to be adequate. Granted I don't eat like I used to in college, but two entrees are enough for two average sized bellies to leave feeling slightly uncomfortably full.
