My visit was totally random and not based on any recommendations or reviews. I happened to be on the street, was hungry, and saw the Mad Noodles sign and thought to myself, "Noodles sound good." I stepped inside and was greeted with a very club/lounge look that is not at all what the outside leads one to expect. I sat down at the bar, ordered a beer, and started checking out the menu. The first good sign was craft beer on draft. There was a nice selection of noodle soups and dry noodles and I was feeling like a soup since it was cold outside. Duck always makes my mouth water and the Shredded Roasted Duck Rice Noodle Soup sounded perfect. As I waited for my order, the server brought over a sushi roll and said they were giving free sushi to anyone who sat at the bar that night. What a nice surprise! Shortly after that, my soup arrived and it was a massive bowl. The sushi was okay but far from anything considered to be great sushi. The soup was better but still seemed to be lacking something. It was a bit bland.
I could see myself stopping in again if I lived nearby but I doubt it would ever be a destination. The service was pleasant and the food arrived in good time. It was okay and there were no glaring negatives, it just did not wow me.
