Noodlefan

Delicious food, cute décor, nice people. Reasonably priced food and great to have a local Thai place that is super close. I like this place and they have good food. Presentation is also very lovely. Lovely addition to the neighborhood JC/​UC/​HOB area! ;)

Stopped in on a Friday evening by myself. Ordered the drunken noodles which came out very quickly, was a good sized portion and tasted great. Fair warning if you’re not a fan of spicy food the spice in this sneaks up on you! Fair prices except $ 1.50 for a can of soda seemed a bit overpriced.
Side note: parking is very difficult in this area. I was fortunate to find a spot right in front after circling the block a few times!

Been here more than three times now. Food is more or less a combination of Thai, Filipino and Chinese. Either way, fare is cook well, delicious and always hot. I highly recommend NoodleFan. We plan to try the rest of their branches in Jersey City and other places in the state.

I’ve eaten Chinese food and Thai food too me this lazy food. Onions the size of silver dollar no flavor in fried rice. Soup taste like water with a little lime. This food is over priced Chinese food with very little Thai flavor. Service is nice but food is trash don’t waste time or money.

I’m a fan of Noodlefan.
It’s affordable-​ish (though nothing beats Spice), it’s actually really tasty (I hope there’s no MSG), and it’s a fancier alternative to the «Let’s just get takeout Chinese» conversation I tend to have on Sundays.
The chicken wings are pretty legit though I can’t really justify paying more than $ 1 for ½ wing. But the noodle dishes are bomb, as suggested by the name Noodlefan.
Now is it Drunken Noodle or Drunk man Noodle?
I called it DRUNK MAN noodle and the lady laughed at me.
Girl, bye.
Go laugh at the white couple who arrived with their adopted Asian children and took over most of the seating creating a makeshift «Children’s corner» in the restaurant. HA.

Food is good, portions are small.
You’ve been open over year it’s time to get a delivery guy. I love when I call in to ask if they deliver and the response is «oh not today,» like any other day is different.
It blows my mind that a place with good food would not have consistent delivery service. The place is the size of a shoebox which would make you think delivery would be the lifeblood of their revenue generation. Hire a delivery guy you knuckleheads

So awesome, place is a small restaurant, and is on the side of the avenue that is usually difficult to find parking, but I came for a late dinner around 8ish and found parking down the block. I was seated by the lady at the register and I told her what I wanted which was the beef noodle soup and Thai ice tea, food came out under 10 min and let me tell you the beef cubes in the noodle soup were so good! It was also my first time having Thai ice tea and I wasn’t expecting a milky type drink but it was that! Not bad actually! …the beef noodle soup was so good I even ordered another one to go, everything came up to $ 24.96, including tip. a must try if you want noodle soup other than ramen or phở

If you want great tasting food — this is the place. If you want them to answer the phone or even a crazier idea, like deliver the food, you may want to go elsewhere. I never experienced a place that had such a poor ordering/​delivery system.
If they fixed their delivery (or often, lack there of) they would fix the restaurant. I’d give them five stars if I could get their food to my house more often. Oh yeah, answer the phone too.
If the food was not so good, I’d abandon them. Damn you spicy green noodle.

Drunken noodles with shrimp and pork… yummmmmm!!!so delicious. and also smoke chili fried rice and chicken dumplings fried! :D would definitely love to come back here. and yes how can i forgot d thai iced tea. too good.
The service was really good and fast and the portion of food is sufficient for one.

I came here on a Tuesday night for dinner. There are about 7 different tables, and 3 of them were full. Service was really quick, which was great because I was hungry!
We ordered a Thai Tea and hot jasmine tea, both of which were perfect. I ordered Pad Se Ew with beef, which lovely and traditional. It was a nice amount and included a hefty portion of meat. My boyfriend got the noodle soup with beef. It was great, really interested — it tasted a bit like phở, actually.
We would definitely come back here!

Good Thai food, a bit on the salty side (not their fault, as I for some reason generally find most Thai places salty).
Ordered Tom Yum Soup, delicious and good serving of shrimp! Chicken Pad Thai and beef pad see ew and they were both delicious, well cooked, and just right serving size for price.
Did not eat in, but when I went to go pick up the inside décor was cute, clean and modern. Very excited to see this part of JC developing and opening up with awesome food and drink places! JC #MakeItYours!!!

I am a fan! I had their pad thai with shrimp and it was good. Not GREAT… but good
Tonight, I went for the shrimp rolls (YUMMMYYYY) the the Spaghetti Thai Basil with Tofu and YUMMMEEERRRS! So spicy, so full of spice and SO GOOD! AND when I arrived (on a snow day), I was unable to tie my dog in the front, so the woman came outside, got my card, came back with my food and waited outside (in the cold) for me to sign off.
SPOT ON
So — spot on service, spot on spicy, spot on apps.
it was just disappointing that their pad thai was average… I know that is picky, but that is how I judge all Thai places.
Other than that — I would recommend this place… very highly

This is my go-​to Thai place as its one of the best in the Heights. It’s nice & quiet & modern inside too.
They don’t yet deliver but they offer pick-​up which works for me.
The best I’ve tried has got to be the Crispy Salmon chefs special. I get it every time and I hear others ordering it too when I go. It’s perfect crispy salmon nuggets in a Peking style duck sauce. It’s heavenly. You can also get it with sticky rice which makes it so much more fun to eat. Otherwise, the pad Thai is a safe bet — nothing spectacular but pretty good. And the pineapple fried rice is also pretty good. I have yet to try their curries but I look forward to it next time!

Very comfy ambience, very friendly staff… Had the Thai ice tea which I die for. It was good, for appetizer we had Thai wings they were nice and sweet but not overly sweet. For the main course my fiancé had pad see ew with shrimp. He liked the dish, only thing he wish he had more of was the soy sauce. But that’s just his personal taste.
I had a spicy beef combo soup. I needed to ask for hot sauce Bc I did not find the spice in it at all. But once they gave me some of there hot sauce it was amazing! I would go back just for that hot sauce lol! The beef was also very good it had different assortment of different cuts of meat. Very filling and I could not finish it in one sitting the portion was pretty big.
We had fried banana with coconut ice cream for desert and boy oh boy that coconut ice cream was just grand! I just generally love the fried banana but the ice cream was so delicate and sweet very good way to end our meal. We had a 3 course meal and the bill wasn’t more then 40 and it was great food. Highly recommend if you want to try something different in the heights area.
There are an abundance of Spanish places on central ave so this little gem is great to switch it up!

3.888 stars.
I actually walked 3 miles round trip to get to this establishment. _​This food better be worth it,_ I thought to myself after the 23-​minute journey back home. (Curse, you, Fitbit, for goading me into obtaining my 10,000 steps per day. But that’s another story…)
Thank goodness the drunken noodles with chicken I had ordered lived up to the very positive reviews previous Unilocalers have posted. I was able to discern the basil and chili from the many ingredients in their concoction, a task that many similar Thai-​inspired eateries in the NJ/​NY/​CT tri-​state area have difficulty accomplishing with success. With respect to flavors, I would consider the dish to be more on the light tangy side as opposed to spicy, but that is certainly not necessarily a negative critique. Most importantly, the noodles were neither bathed in grease nor bombarded with a large amount of monosodium glutamate or any other salt.
I have one particular gripe, which is why I did not bestow this establishment a full four stars. I did not have any cash on me that night, and this place enforces a $ 10 minimum on credit cards a little too strictly. My order came out to $ 9.63 including tax, and instead of just allowing me to charge that amount, the cute, friendly girl at the counter hesitated, then conned me into buying a can of ginger ale for $ 1.50. I rarely ever drink soda, but at least she apologized for not having water.
Oh well, I don’t hate them for it by any means. 888 is a very lucky number in Chinese circles, anyway, haha. If you happen to be flying solo for your meal, just make sure you have sufficient cash on you.

I’m so glad this place is here.
Their sweet and sour dish with chicken is awesome… And so is their salmon… BBQ pork buns… Curry puffs… all delish.
Green tea ice cream alone though is just OK.
Just getting hungry thinking about their yummy food.

Look at Central Avenue throwing in some Thai food in the mix of all the Latin spots. And #Noodlefan is doing just well with holding its own –3.5* overall.
I’ve been meaning to come here sooner but finally decided to be lazy get delivery to mi casa. At first I couldn’t get through but I was persistent and the lady finally picked up. She was very sweet and gave me the heads up that the lunch special was still in effect. We all wanted Pad Thai ($ 8) except for shrimp ($ 10). I also decided to try their Thai Wings .the order comes with 4 for $ 4.
*For delivery –You need a $ 10 minimum. They were there in half hour as we were told. There were no napkins, plastic forks –zippooo –they couldn’t even throw in a complimentary can of soda for a $ 40 purchase? I’m probably being greedy but most places do this.
*Food — Good size portions for the money you pay. We had plenty of leftovers. The pad thai was okay — could have had more flavor and more of a kick to it. The wings were pretty good… really enjoyed the sweet and sour flavors. I’m pleased that we have a decent Thai spot to head to now!

Well this sure is a nice addition to the Heights.
Been meaning to try them out since they first opened about a year ago and finally got a chance.
It is small, maybe 7 or 8 tables and very reasonably priced. An appetizer, two entrees, dessert, a Thai Iced tea and coffee all under $ 40. We even had leftovers.
Our appetizer was the Thai Chicken Wings. Sweet with just a little bit of kick from the Chili Sauce.
For entrees the better half had Chicken Pad Thai. I went with the Papa Noodles with shrimp. The Papa Noodles was sautéed with egg, bok choy, onion, bell peppers and bean sprouts.
Try to save room for dessert and order the green tea ice cream. It is served on a banana leaf with whipped cream on the side. Very refreshing and not too sweet.
Currently they do not have delivery but hopefully very soon. Welcome to the neighborhood!

I’ve been here a few times, and I’ve been really satisfied with me experience each time. The prices are very reasonable, and the service is quick and friendly. The Heights definitely needed a new dining experience, and I’m glad they’re in the nabe.
I always first judge a Thai restaurant on their pad thai. They know that dish will be their workhorse so they need to make a decent version of it. I’m thrilled to find that they do a good job with it. I also like their pad see ew, drunken noodles, and crispy salmon.
For appetizers, I like their tom yum soup, curry puffs, shiitake spring rolls, and Thai chicken wings. The dip for the puffs and rolls is the same sauce that the wings are covered in — a sweet and tangy sticky sauce. They also use this same sauce on their salads, as well as on the crispy salmon. If you don’t care for it, definitely let them know because it’s probably on half of the menu items.
Service is always friendly and quick. The place is small with just over 24 seats or so. It’s clean, well-​lit and not noisy. So far, I’ve only been there once when I had to wait for a table. Customer turnover is pretty quick there, and plenty of people are also waiting for their takeout order and will forfeit a seat if needed. As of yet, no delivery is available. Also, the tv will always be on channel 4 — NBC. No one seems to know how to change it, but no biggie. Parking is limited to street parking but I think most people are locals and just walk. So glad they’re here, and I hope they get delivery soon!
In terms of pricing, they are really affordable and you cannot beat their lunch prices. However, I noticed during my most recent visit that portions are slightly smaller. It was barely noticeable but my husband and I ordered all of our usual dishes and saw that the portions weren’t the same for the noodle dishes during previous visits. It might have been an off night?! Not sure yet.

When I first discovered this place, I was practically doing cartwheels over the fact that a GOOD Thai restaurant has finally made its way over to the Heights.
1) The food is good, well priced, and appropriate portions. My favorites are the drunken noodles, pad thai, and tom yum.
2) The people are nice and service is quick.
3) The restaurant is kind of small, but most people take their food to go so there isn’t usually a problem getting a table for a sit down meal. The décor and ambiance are pretty nice, very chill.
4) Street parking available, both metered and non-​metered.
5) There’s a $ 10 minimum for credit.
Now I can satisfy all my Thai cravings quickly, cheaply, and deliciously! Yay!
