I go to the Red Rock fairly frequently and there's plenty of variety to be had in terms of dining. Unfortunately, most of these options are nothing more than average. 8 Noodle Bar is no exception. It's a fun little set up and definitely has the aroma of a noodle stop that could be good, but alas it's largely forgettable.
-Shrimp toast. I see a lot of people saying this is good and I will say that it was definitely the best thing I had by far but still it's basically just an extremely salty piece of bread and eggs. It lacks balancing that's the key issue.
-Spring Rolls. You know when you get something and you see the plate right in front of you and you say to yourself "I already know exactly what this is going to taste like." That's exactly what happened. Spring rolls that were fine but indistinguishable from probably any other standard spring roll in existence.
-Vermicelli. This is where things really went south. This was a HUGE bowl of food and looked like it had potential. Noodles, pork, egg rolls, etc. It was packed. But man was this bowl a bland pile of nothing. It comes with a sweet chili sauce and boy does it need it. The problem then is that the sweet chili sauce is the ONLY thing you can taste. That's not a shot at the sauce that's a shot at just how flavorless everything else was.
I see reviews of all kinds of other items on the menu and some are very positive so I am willing to concede that maybe it was an off night or item. However, when there's a guy who claims his dish was better than what you can get in Hong Kong (looking at you Christopher N) it's hard to take the positive reviews seriously.
Skip it. There's panda express in the food court.
