    Pho was solid, lots of meat and it's arranged where you can easily fix a bowl the next day if you have leftovers. Also really enjoyed the toasted and warm sesame balls with red bean filling. Just about everything else I've tried has been good, no duds so far. The takeout packaging/presentation is excellent and the attention to detail makes a togo meal feel a little more special!

    I’ve been meaning to get over here for a while and I regret not trying this place sooner! First, they have soup dumplings, which you can find everywhere. There a couple places in Pittsburgh, but they’re still rare. They were super good with nice warm broth and a savory meat ball inside. Just an amazing bite. It’s a high recommend for me. I also got the pad Thai which was massive. I got Spice level 3 and that was enough to make my nose run a little, which was perfect. The atmosphere was good with almost a cafe vibe music going on and everything relatively calm. My friends really liked their meals as well so try and make this a stop. The parking outside was free after 6 and I got a space 4 steps from the door. You won’t be disappointed!

    First time customer. I ordered take out. Fried dumplings and flat noodle Thai style w chicken. Both were absolutely horrible. The dumplings were extremely overcooked. I could not eat them. The noodles were a pile of mush. If I had dined there I would have sent everything back. Do not waste your time or money.

    We got the soup dumplings, pork bao, generals tso chicken, fried rice and bubble tea. It was insanely good. The restaurant was dead inside but lots of to go orders going out. I’d probably order takeout next time but the food was sooo good. Definitely getting the bao and general tso again!

    First I ordered Thai tea, and it was sour-tasting. I mention it to the waiter and he tells me that's how it is supposed to taste. I then order the fresh spring rolls, which were 3 shrimp with about a salad size amount of lettuce. The Pho tasted like water, and had barely anything in it and the side condiments were rotten and almost nonexistent. I will not be going back.

    Deliciously inconsistent. I want to love this restaurant, but the food is incredibly hit or miss. The spice levels seem to be completely random, and rice dishes will either be some of the tastiest food I've had, or a bland dish with little to no meat and flavor. Feels like they have 1 good chef and 1 bad chef, but when you get that good chef it's to die for.

    Ive eaten here a decent amount, ordering through Uber Eats. The food is pretty decent usually. I have a minor gripe with the fact that the fresh spring rolls are ALWAYS split in half and never actually hold up to being eaten. But thats not the reason for this review or the low stars. I ordered Sesame tofu yesterday. I had a few bites before realizing it smelled and tasted a bit of so, i stopped eating. The rest of the night was spent in the bathroom, extremely upset stomach. Its clear the tofu was past expiration the way it smelled. Ive never been so violently ill from tofu in my life and it definitely makes me never want to eat here again. If they send something that bad out and think its ok, i question their sanitation and food rotation practices.

    This place is always great! Their dumplings are probably some of the best I’ve ever had! I ordered their Japanese pork belly ramen with miso broth at a spice level 2. They have miso broth and pork broth and spice levels 1-5. I also got the pork and cabbage dumplings. Love their dumpling sauce. I ordered the Thai tea boba but I couldn’t drink it bc it literally tasted like perfume idk what was wrong w it the boba was a good texture not too soft but the drink itself literally tasted like perfume gross. But everything else was delish!

    Quiet place, friendly and attentive staff. Bao buns were delicious! Soft exterior, great texture, nice presentation, and savory flavor of the meat. Flat Thai noodles were also amazing! Full of flavor, vegetables and shrimp were cooked perfectly.

    Nice little Asian place, food was pretty good, but nothing spectacular. Soup dumplings were tiny, which was a bit of a let down.

  • 5/5 Christopher B. 9 months ago on Google
    Food was very good and price was very reasonable. I'll definitely be back again

  • 3/5 Billie S. 5 months ago on Google
    The food was okay. The prices were good. The service was good. Just so many people hyped this place up that I was expecting a lot more than what I got. We ordered a variety of food so that we could try different things. Once again the food was good. Just not as great as everyone hyped it up to be.

    Not sure if dine-in is available or if it's reservation only, but I got served pretty quick, the beef and garlic with steamed rice is pretty good if you're looking for tried and true.

  • 2/5 Heather S. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfortunately I wasn't impressed with this place. The Japanese Ramen soup, not much meat in it, mostly fat, the broth was at least good anyway. The waitress forgot my hot tea, and since she never came to check on us I had to go find someone to get it. For the little amount of food and such high prices, I won't be going back.

    Dine in. Wasn't sure what to expect after setting down. The best crab Rangoon I've eaten, dumplings were fried a little long but were packed with chicken/pork and oh so tasty. The Singapore rice noodle with 3 proteins was killer good. The sesame chicken was... Well it's sesame chicken just about everywhere but the chicken is delicious and large portions. Next time I'm taking to go. Very very good.

    One of my favorite places in Pittsburgh for Pad Thai. The balance of flavors is perfection and the ingredients are always fresh. Also a huge fan of the crab rangoon and sushi. The one downside is any time my wife and myself dine in, the service is lacking. Waitresses can be a bit rude at times and aren’t very attentive. Would recommend to order out as opposed to dining in so the poor service doesn’t tarnish how incredible the food is.

  • 3/5 Leo O. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was a slight letdown in the fact that most of the food ordered was kinda bland and boring. Even orange chicken sauce wasn’t as flavorful as it is most other places. It’s still a nice place but just expensive for very average food.

  • 5/5 Micah A. 1 year ago on Google
    Never had a bad experience here. Sushi, noodles, buns, dumplings are all amazing. The flat rice noodles are the best!! I recommend it to anyone in pittsburgh.

  • 5/5 Bethany T. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome food- got the Singapore rice noodles and definitely will be returning again!

  • 1/5 Samm F. 1 year ago on Google
    Do not waste your money or appetite. This was so cheap, flavorless, well some flavor but no good flavor that's for sure. My spring roll was even skimpy on lettuce which was pretty much all that was in it. They cut a single nickel sized shrimp in half for the rolls! The soup tasted like watered down dish water, with raw green peppers and very little meat in it as well. They brought half filled sink water to the table with no ice and it tasted like sulfur. Not even hot sauce or anything to add to the soups, come on when have you ever had Asian food without salt or umami?! I would never come back.

    Stopped in for lunch and was the annoying indecisive, gonna take my time and read a book lone customer in the restaurant. Service was super friendly and attentive despite that- the rangoons were 10/10 with extra flavors in the cream cheese mixture. Flawless noodles too- I got the Japanese ramen with steak and miso. Very well priced for the portion sizes. Nothing fancy but reliable for delicious food!

  • 4/5 Shelly Lee W. 5 years ago on Google
    Great food! Seasoned just right! Soup was great, pad Thai really good and Thai noodles also very good. Food was hot and nice portions. Waiter could have been on the ball a little more. Wasn't very attentive and on cell phone to much and screwed up appetizer.

    Mad noodles is a amazing restaurant to dine in or take out with! Try out their seafood section; Juicy Seafood! Sure is juicy. There are many combos like the Snow Crab combo, Crayfish combo, Seafood Mixpot and many other combos! Really recommend this place!

    I am so sorry but my deluxe sushi was worst EVER! The fish was fine but rice was hardened or uncooked whichever it is. I will not order from this place again!

  • 5/5 Lavender S. 2 years ago on Google
    Just ordered the vegetarian poke bowl for lunch and it was AMAZING! Perfectly crafted, delicious fresh ingredients, just the right balance of flavors, and a good price. Didn’t wait to long either to pick it up. Noticed a lot of other great items on the menu, I will be back! Thank you!!

  • 5/5 Molly O. 2 years ago on Google
    I ordered from mad noodles on doordash. I am SO impressed with this place. The soup dumplings are delicious (not super soupy but would order again) the sushi was fresh and delicious and the crab rangoons were probably the best I ever had. Yum yum!!

    I walked in before to order takeout and they told me to order online, despite me being there physically and could have just ordered in-person. After going through the process of ordering online, I left to wander around until the food was ready, since it seemed they didn’t want any physical contact beyond picking up orders. I waited 15 min and returned to check on the order. I was told they refunded me because they didn’t have the ingredients for what I ordered. Despite having to enter my phone number when placing the online order I didn’t get a call. What also irritates me about being told to order online despite being there in person is the accessibility issue of it. What if someone doesn’t have a smart phone, phone is dead, etc? I imagine the staff would be flexible, it just seems unnecessary if a customer is standing right in front of you. ETA: I realized I did receive a call and did not know my phone rang. In the future I hope they leave a message, text, or send an email cancellation to do due diligence (I was checking my email since the website order sent confirmation emails.)

👍👍 Best taco place in Pittsburgh downtown. If you love spicy food and margaritas, do check out the place. Service was very quick. Never seen anyone serving so quickly at any Mexican restaurant. You do not get chips with salsa. Mexican street corn is one of their dip options and you need to order the di...
