I love eating the Vego Mee Goreng at Noodle Palace, I have for years. This place changed hands earlier this year and I was worried that the quality was going to go down, but I’m relieved that it hasn’t. Now that saying, I was tempted to try Nasi Goreng about a month ago and I gotta say it was pretty average. There was hardly any taste to it except for the soy sauce. That got me to thinking: Am I blinded by noodles? I really hope not. I’m going to trust my taste buds and proudly state that the Mee Goreng is still good. This place has also now got a sushi counter in the front window to get some more foot traffic. I’ve tried a roll in the past and honestly, they are not that great, which pains me to say, because I love this place and I really want them to be great.

Noodle Palace on Brunswick Street is pretty good for noodles as the name suggests. You can get a range of different styles of noodles from across Asia including Char Kuey Tow, Mee Goreng, Laksa and more. You get a pretty massive portion for $ 10 to $ 12.50 and it is very tasty for the most part. My personal favourites are the lemongrass chicken and the Palace Hot Bowl. It’s not that fancy inside but the staff are very friendly, the service is quick and excellent and they play decent music. I mainly go and get a takeaway lunch. You get a ton of noodles for a decent price. And their spring rolls with plum sauce are pretty good too. It is far from mind-blowing but you would struggle to recreate the dishes for flavor and authenticity at home. It is one of the best places for quick noodles in Fitzroy. I’d choose Noodle Palace over the recently opened China Bar any day of the week.
