Noodle Cafe

Best place in the Peachtree Center. It may be a mall but it's really a food court. Noodle Cafe is about the only thing here that's not fast food. Also the food isn't bland. This is the only thing worth in there. Better than average fastly made Asian food. It has many typical items. There's noodles of course but much more too. Food has some actual flavor. They offer a few spice levels. I like the Hot Braised Tofu With Vegetables as a healthy choice. It's about $7 for a large portion. This comes with braised tofu and vegetables. It's a good price for as much as you get. The vegetables are seasoned without being just salty. It mostly is just carryout. Some tables are available in the food court. The food is premade but you couldn't tell by the good taste.

Nearly 6yeas ago , in September 2016, i was a dragon con while sick and got some of their spicy chicken noodle soup. I have not stopped thinking about it since. Today, i finally went back for more. I had no idea what the store was called i just had a general idea of wear the store was. I found it and didn't realize they closed at 2pm, but they let me buy some soup anyway. Now i can say, this is HANDS DOWN the best soup i have ever had. No one does it like noodle cafe.

I got the shrimp noodle soup. It's good, love the veggies and shrimp, but I wasn't a fan of the type of noodles in this soup. They were thick and not translucent as are the rice noodles in pho soup. There is something about this soup that will clean things out. About half way in, my nose started running and it's like my sinuses were being reset. I didn't mind but it's an interesting phenomenon. When you order soup there is a bit of a wait, expect it to take about 15 minutes.

Noodle Cafe at Peachtree Center in Atlanta is a great place to go for all things noodle bowls and rice. I really like their pad thai and some of the other dishes I was able to try out. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious and is a good option if you are hungry and need something fast and good quality. The staff here is very friendly and works hard to provide good service.

Noodle Cafe is a small Asian food court stall located inside the Mall at Peachtree Center. While "noodle" is in the name, that's not the only food this eatery serves. Like other Asian food court stalls, Noodle Cafe has a selection of pre-cooked Asian foods ready to be served off a hot buffet line. There are a few of these types of restaurants inside the Mall at Peachtree Center, but I think Noodle Cafe may be the best because their food seems to be the freshest and highest quality, relatively speaking of course.Noodles served include pad Thai noodles, su mein noodles, noodles stir-fried with proteins such as chicken, shrimp, squid, and beef, and Singapore noodles. They have noodle soups such as Thai tom yum seafood noodle soup and Vietnamese pho. Examples of non-noodle options include Thai spicy chicken, red curry chicken, sesame chicken, hot braised tofu, eggplant, mushrooms, and stir-fried string beans. I think these selections are comparatively healthier than the cafe's intra-mall competition.Prices for most entrees range from $6.25 to $8.25 (plus tax). I tried a $6.25 lunch special which nets rice or noodles plus any two entrees. One thing I like about this place is the noodles on the hot bar are pad Thai noodles, not run-of-the-mill lo mein noodles. The pad Thai comes with bean sprouts, thinly sliced carrots, and cilantro.I had the pad Thai noodles with stir-fried eggplant and red curry chicken. During my visit, all of the foods had just been cooked and looked quite appetizing. The light purple eggplant was glistening. It sat in a light brown garlic sauce with bits of red chili pepper. The pieces of red curry chicken were lean and came with green bell pepper and red chili. It was a quick, filling, and rather satisfying food court meal. The portion size on the noodles and eggplant was generous. Everything was piping hot and served directly into a disposable Styrofoam box.I like the staff here compared to the other places. They're more personable. A table is set up next to the register with napkins, condiments (e.g. soy sauce), plastic cutlery, wooden chopsticks, straws, and a metal canister filled with ice water.If you're looking for something a bit different than the usual Chinese food court fare, Noodle Cafe is a solid alternative.

The line gets pretty long around noon, so it's better to come early or later if you don't want to wait. If you want to order noodle soup, the wait is longer than the regular food line since each soup is made to order. Instead of waiting on the regular line on the right side, you'll have to squeeze in your order on the left side with the cashier. Sometimes there's already a short soup line in front of the cashier to place your soup order.If you're not ordering soup, then the regular food line moves pretty quickly. You pick the items you want and pay for it. Chicken Noodle Soup (made spicy unless you specify not to) $8 - It's pretty spicy if you go with the spicy option, so you might want to add your own hot sauce if you're not sure you can handle the heat. The ingredients are fresh and comes with tons of chicken, bok choy, onion and carrots. The noodles are thick rice noodles.General Tso Chicken was pretty good. I got it with a side of rice and mixed vegetables for $7.Pot Stickers 2 for $1 - These pot stickers were meat stuffed and deep fried.

Found his while staying at the Marriott Marquis. Only a block away, this place is a food-court diamond. Hidden off to the side, you'd miss it, but let me tell you. Find it. To easily explain: its a Thai version of panda express, in model. But the flavors and quality were fresh and delicious. The lunch special is any two items and noodles, rice, or half/half. Great deal!

I considered giving Noodle Cafe only one star, but then thought that being a bit unfair. Plus I worry that Sara M would unfriend me if I did.This is a Dragon*Con visit, around 6-ish on a Saturday. There was a line but not a long one, so I arrived at the counter in short order. Before getting there, all I had to go on in terms of options was the menu placed fairly high and mostly out of view until I got closer to the counter. Well, that was a waste of time anyway. You order whatever they have ready and you won't know that until you get close.After the helpful gentleman behind the counter waved off my first two choices (one off the aforementioned menu, one based on the signs under the counter), I selected noodles with 'spicy' thai chicken and eggplant. During this interaction, he also pointed to a sign that said something about the lunch special. Not sure how that was relevant, it not being lunchtime.Next stop was paying. Another helpful but younger gentleman asked me what I ordered so he could ring me up. Rather than guess what he wanted me to say - noodles with meat & vegetable?, specifically what meat and vegetable? - I just pointed to the box he had in front of him and said 'whatever's in there'. He opened it and rang it up pronto. Why not do that in the first place? The scene was a bit hectic (Dragon*Con) after all.So, my impression is that they could use a little organization behind the counter. But no big deal, even if I really didn't get what I wanted.The food: terrible. Chicken was tasteless, not a hint of spiciness and riddled with bad cuts. The eggplant was somehow even more tasteless than the chicken and cooked to the point of being almost a fluid. The noodles were also bland. Only liberal amounts of soy and sriracha made the whole meal palatable. I actually considered dumping it and getting something from another vendor, but I was on a schedule.Maybe I ordered the wrong items.I'd actually give this place another try, ordering something different. After all, Sara M splashes five stars on the place. Must be something to it. But my visit was not good at all.

Thai fix complete for week.Noodle Cafe is one of the smallest stalls on the food court. It is also easy to walk by and not even notice it. However, their small size means they keep favorites on their buffet line. The rate at which people order from the buffet line means dishes are prepared continuously so taste stay high. What I appreciate is the non-fried dishes/vegetables that are available.My second visit and it went really smooth. I was eating late so I did not have to wait in line. Take out is the only option. You can eat in the centers food court.

I work in the building that Noodle Cafe is located in, and I'm incredibly surprised at the longevity of this restaurant compared to some of the other tenants that have come and gone.So this is clearly a hole in the wall, so keep your expectations low. With that being said, it fell far below my expectations. I got the lunch special with Sesame chicken and Thai Spicy chicken with fried rice today. The Thai Spicy chicken was rubbery, gristly, and almost unedible. I had to constantly spit out pieces that I couldn't chew. The sesame chicken on the other hand was only decent at best. Fried rice was generic and flavorless, just white rice with some soy sauce thrown on it and a little egg.Very poor quality food and I won't be coming back.
