Quick take: NEVER RETURN
Best item: N/A
OK, I am not one to say bad things about a business or person, but the experience we had with Noodle Palace speaks for itself. First, it seemed promising based on the online menu, but the lady taking my order was annoyed that I didn’t know to go appetizers were sold self serve style. You get a container and you fill up the container at an appetizer counter for a set price. I mean, how am I supposed to know? It doesn’t say this anywhere on the menu. She basically yelled at me.
Then the order took forever to come out, and we literally only ordered dumplings. On top of that, a man sitting at a table near the entry just lifted his buttocks to the side and let out a very audible fart. I know that if he was a customer then that is not the restaurant’s fault, but he was on the phone, had no food or service, and seemed like an employee. Either way, gross 🤢. I didn’t get an itemized receipt so all I can say is for the appetizers and 2 orders of vegetarian dumplings it cost $31.19 total. On Yelp, the appetizers are $7.99, and the dumplings are $9.99 per order.
This is the appetizers, we got the vinegar potato shreds and the cucumber salad. They were ok.
Here are the dumplings, honestly they looked good, but there was a very strange chemical-like flavor in them. It was very off putting and disgusting. H2 ate more of it and got the runs, and not like the, go for a 2 mile jog type, if you get what I mean.
There is no scenario in which we will return.
