Reckless Noodle House

Just hanging around cap hill area and we ran into this little gem of a place. Great atmosphere, great service, great food a must try.

went for HH date night 4-6p, cocktails only $8 and some good small plates. I got the mule and bf got the aviation (gin drink), both liked them a lot. They make their own ginger beer so it wasn't as sweet as some mules (which I liked). Food in order of how much we liked it:- spicy wontons- Vietnamese wings (sweet)- lobster fried rice (some good chunks of lobster in there)- vermicelli bun bowl (was good but pork belly soft rather than crispy, next time would swap the protein for prawns instead - duck eggrolls (didn't have as much flavor as we were expecting?) next time would swap this out for the papaya salad. Overall we had a great time, service was good, liked the laid back vibe. We are both Asian so while we liked it, it was definitely fusion/geared towards non-Asians, and would go other places for authentic south East Asian food ;) but still worth a try. Good date spot

Ordered to go and the food was still delicious! I got the Ma La Braised Beef Cheek Noodle and Papaya Salad (mild). The beef was super tender and just melted in your mouth! I can see why this dish is a must try. The noodles were perfect and not overly soft or chewy. I did think that it needed some veggies in the dish but ordering the papaya salad on the side worked out! It was my favorite and I'm glad I got it! Be careful if you can't handle spices very well. This dish is spicy, even ordering it 'mild'. Will be back to dine in to order some other popular dishes and check out their happyHour specials!

Reckless Noodle House is a pretty cool place. Immediately, you notice the ambience and awesome decor. I love the mermaids hanging over the bar and the tree in the middle of the table. We got there shortly after they opened, so it was quiet and we were seated quickly. By the time we left, it was getting busy.Everyone there was very nice and attentive. The drinks were good and the food was great. I would have given this place 5 stars, but some of the food was a little lacking. The calamari and squid were overcooked and some of the noodles seemed to have been sitting out for a while. Apart from these minor issues, everything tasted delicious. I would absolutely come back!

let's start with drinks: strong, cute decorations, fair price (compared to other restaurants in the area). food: solid flavors, but the shrimp in my fried rice didn't have any spices and was very plain. also, my food came out warm-ish rather than truly hot, which kind of bothered me. ambiance: good vibes, mood lighting, and fun music. service: honestly, terrible service. my sister and i felt invisible. there seemed to be poor communication among the staff.

The food had a lot of flavor! We enjoyed every bit of it! The shrimp was the best! We had a great server! The place was super nice and chill. Really made me feel like I was at a tropical resort! I would come back again!

Always love a good happy hour! Ate here with some friends 5pm on a Saturday. Great happy hour deals on drinks and appetizer. Vibe of restaurant is really chill with seating at the bar, by windows and then more quiet seating off to the side. Lobster Bao and Bok Choy were our favorites. The papaya salad was unique but ended up upsetting our stomachs the day after. Service was quick with some good recommendations provided by our wait staff.

I ordered the reckless fried rice and it was so flavorful, the pork belly was so tender and cooked perfectly The atmosphere is really nice and had a jungle like aesthetic. We sat at the bar and the food took around 20 mins. We also came in one a Thursday night at 7 and we got the last 2 seats at the bar so this place can get pretty busy for dinner

Service was lovely and the inside is chill vibes - dark ambiance with a bar area with lots of lights! Also a busy and bustling place!The food was alright. The caramelized prawns were 10/10. The rest is very much a fusion of Vietnamese food that is just okay!

Made a pit stop for dinner and was excited to try something new. There's plenty of street parking around the restaurant which is always a plus.When we walked in, I loved their interior and how they decorated the place. It's very trendy where you can dress up or down. The restaurant itself isn't huge but has a decent bar area which we sat. They had a good selection of beers including Asian beers. Their menu was easy to read and wasn't overwhelming with choices which I loved. I ordered their bun bowl and my friend had their fried rice.The service was quick which I enjoyed. I was a bit disappointed in my meal with their portion size. Although served in a big bowl, there wasn't much food in it. I wish they provided more egg rolls and tofu in my bowl. For the price, I just expected a little more. It's definitely a place to go for the vibes, I haven't tried their other meals yet, but hoping to come back and try them again and see if my opinion changes.
