My friend and I were feeling like Asian so we thought we'd give Noodle Bowl a try. First impression is cheap, grimy, tattered and simple. We sat at a table by the window and the fresh air was much appreciated as the air seemed hazy or smoky inside.
My friend ordered the General Tao which came a good 7-10 minutes before my Marinated Chicken Vermicelli and Spring Roll came. I hate that awkward time when the other person's food arrives long before yours and you say go ahead and eat but they insist on waiting. Mine was not worth the wait. The chicken was bland and seemed reheated. The vermicelli noodles were overcooked and shaped like spaghetti instead of the the thin ones I like and they were cut short like I was 2 years old. And the fish sauce vinaigrette sauce wasn't at all flavourful or well made. The spring role was the worse frozen style bland thing I've ever had, even the sraracha sauce couldn't cover it up! My friend said his General Tao was bland and not spicy. He didn't finish it.
Also the service was inconsistent. And everything was sticky - the table, the cups, the soy sauce bottle, the sraricha bottle. Also weird cheap plastic plates were a little meh. Overall with so much else int he area that is so much better I don't think I'll ever be back.
