Noodle Point

Love the Skewers! A must try place! Lately, I've been hooked on watching competitive eating videos from China, and I couldn't shake my craving for authentic Asian grilled skewers. So, when my brother suggested this spot, I knew I had to give it a shot.We kicked things off with some refreshing iced lemon black tea, and I was genuinely surprised by how much I liked it--considering I'm not usually a fan of iced tea. The balance of lemon and sweetness was just right, making it a delightful start to the meal.The Chef's special menu caught my eye with some new items, and I was especially eager to try the pork intestine and pig feet. They did not disappoint! The pig feet were seasoned to perfection, and the intestine had a beautifully grilled exterior while staying tender and juicy inside.The chicken hearts and gizzards were a pleasant surprise, seasoned so well you'd hardly know they were organ meats. The pork belly and squid had a perfect char, bursting with flavor. We also enjoyed the grilled eggplant and chives--light, refreshing, and a great complement to the meats. And the chicken laksa noodle soup? Incredible. The broth was rich and aromatic, and the noodles had a satisfying texture.I can't wait to come back, especially to enjoy the pig feet again--and this time, I'm eyeing the quail. Honestly, I'd return just to try everything all over again. Just be sure to arrive hungry! I highly recommend exploring the barbecue grilled items and any of the noodle dishes. Don't be afraid to be adventurous--try the organ meats. You won't be disappointed!

I've gone to Noodle Point for a long time now and to the restaurant that predated them prior to switching over to the Chinese BBQ format. Noodle Point is a nice and cozy space with an inviting and clean interior. I mainly go during normal dinner times but I absolutely love having this place in my back pocket as it's open til midnight, which is perfect for those late nights when I want to sit in somewhere and not get fast food.The Chinese bbq is fairly priced and is a little cheaper and is comparable to a newer place called The One down on Hawthorne, but I'd give The One the edge as far as taste and quality goes but it's a wash once you factor in value. Where NP shines for me is their premade hot pot meals that they called Foil Pans. The Beef one goes for $13 and is an incredible value in terms of taste, quality, and value. The clam variation runs a few dollars more and is excellent as well. I've had their grilled Oysters and thought that they were fantastic and priced well at $17.50/6 although they had a 3 oyster option earlier this year that I miss. Pair a foil pan with one or two of their cheap bbq skewers or veg and you will have yourself an excellent meal possibly under $20, but honestly the foil pan is plenty filling on its own. Their other noodle soups all look good and seem priced well but with their FP being so good I'm not sure I can take a break from that to try out more from their menu. Give NP a shot especially if you want a late night meal.

This place is such a vibe so cute and cozy but with food that packs a punch! If you haven't tried Chinese bbq you def need to It's different from America bbq by they do fry rub seasonings and it's different from anything you've ever tasted Skewers are always my fav so whenever I can get my hands on it I willThe soup was soo warm and yummy with vermicelli noodles

My dad and I had lunch here today and we're very impressed. I've not tried many places in this little complex, but if you have to choose, try this one. For the place itself, it's tiny and can be a bit cold if sitting by the door, but it's very clean and had some cute decor. The staff is very nice and came back often to take dishes and see if we needed anything else, and there were quite a few other parties and to-go orders happening. I will say that I agree with some other folks that the food can be a tad slow and doesn't come out in any particular order, but for a soup and skewer place, who cares, didn't bother us one bit, and everything is hot and fresh when it does come. For the food, excellent. We split an order of the bacon mushroom skewers ($6), and one each was plenty. They are rich and the bacon is crisp and thick, very good quality. We also had the lamb ($7.50) and that was really well seasoned, juicy and fatty (in a good way) and the golden seafood soup ($16.50), which was a great broth with tons of veggies and meat, fish cakes were really flavorful. Nice rice noodles, thick and chewy and they don't get soggy as we took our time. I wish this place luck and hope they last. I will be back to try more options and let you all know! Happy New Year!

We discovered Noodle Point on Yelp and decided to come here for late night eats as it is one of the few restaurants open until midnight. Service was very slow, it took them at least 20 minutes to take our order but the food wasn't too bad! We also did not have very high standards so we were pleasantly surprised. We ordered the bacon needle mushroom (2 skewers) and yakitori lamb (3 skewers). My boyfriend ordered the beef laksa. There are quite a few noodle soup options but I wasn't feeling soup so I ordered the shrimp fried rice, which surprisingly came with a generous amount of shrimp given there was no increase in price compared to the other protein options. I enjoyed the skewers, particularly the bacon needle mushroom! It would be even better if they added more mushroom since it shrinks down once cooked. There are a couple appetizers that look appealing that we didn't get to try so we will be back for that and more skewers!

If you've been to Pot&Spicy, this place is a bit reminiscent of it, except for the fact that it leans more towards Chinese BBQ. There are rice and noodle dishes as well as appetizers, but there's also a variety of skewers. Service here is quick however, in my experience, all of the dishes came out very far apart from each other (which I personally didn't like, and I wish they came out within a smaller time frame so that I could enjoy them together--but that's my personal taste).I got the beef golden soup & the seafood kimchi soup--and they were okay. The portions were huge and there was lots of flavor. However, the quality wasn't the same and I couldn't really taste any kimchi flavor for my kimchi soup, which was a disappointment. The bacon needle skewers were pretty good, but the garlic oyster was way too salty. Overall, I was a bit disappointed and the food gave my partner and I an upset stomach; I don't think I would come back.

Food taste is good so far (good not excellent). There was only one lady serving the whole restaurant. Bush for her. Overall is a casual dining environment.

This place took over what used to be Pot & Spicy. The interior is pretty much the same - nice and simple. The food offerings was a bit similar to before. We ordered a few skewers and a bowl of Beef Golden Soup to share. The server was friendly and quick to get our order in. The bacon needle mushroom and beef skewers were tasty, as well as the chicken heart skewers. The popcorn chicken could have used a better batter, in my opinion. It was more of a panko coat to it and needed more spice to it. The Beef Golden Soup was flavorful, and I enjoyed it.

This is a decent spot for Chinese style bbq skewers. Not comparable to ones in China, but it will do for Portland. The skewers are heavily seasoned (as they should be) so it is only okay for me once in a while. I may ask them to use a lighter hand when seasoning next time.We ordered a variety of skewers and the laksa. I would skip on the laksa but all the skewers were good. I liked the lamb and gizzard the most. Skip the chicken feet and the chicken soft bone. They were out of chicken heart, but I will try it next time I come back.Our server was really nice, patient and helpful. This spot opens til midnight so if you ever need a late night skewer and a beer, this is a good spot to hit up.

Service here is quite slow. Waited about 20-25 minutes for our food including a side of garlic oysters. Garlic oysters were salty with a bit too much seasoning. Beef kimchi soup was fairly decent: not much protein but a lot of noodles. I do plan to come by again to try their skewers.
