Eden Noodles — Restaurant in Waitematā

I finally checked out this place again.! Let's talk about their Dandan Noodles, because that's where it's at for me. The portion sizes are just very accommodating, they've got S, M, L, and XL. Now being Asian, my brain automatically goes for the M, and trust me it's a perfect satisfying amount. The L? You're gonna be stuffed, like Thanksgiving dinner stuffed. And the XL? Oh boy, that's gotta be the size they feed the All Blacks after a big game!

Now listen up spicy lovers! If you're thinking about going for the mild or even the medium spicy, just... don't. Seriously. I went for the medium and it was like a gentle whisper of spicy. If you want that real kick, go straight for the spicy! Trust me on this one.

The place itself is pretty popular so be prepared for it to be crowded. It gets quite packed which is a good sign, right? They're definitely kid-friendly and have some highchairs around, so toddlers are good to go. But if you've got a little baby, it might be a bit hectic with the crowds.

The staff is super friendly, they move like ninjas! The whole place looked clean when I came, which is a big thumbs up in my book.

So yes, Eden Noodles is one of my fav especially that Dandan noodle?...

The food at the restaurant was undeniably good, offering a pleasant culinary experience. However, I was really looking forward to enjoying the dumplings at home, but unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. As I unpacked them, I discovered a hair in the food. This was quite off-putting and definitely affected my appetite. I hope the restaurant can improve their food preparation hygiene.

During our visit, two waitresses were speaking very loudly, creating a disruptive environment. Their conversation sounded like a heated argument, which significantly detracted from the tranquility one expects in a dining establishment.

Furthermore, a notable inconvenience was the complete absence of a toilet facility within the restaurant, which is a significant oversight for any public establishment serving food.

While the quality of the food was commendable, the negative aspects of the service and the lack of essential amenities made for a less than...

Eden Noodles is a popular Chinese cheap eats restaurant in Auckland. They serve a variety of Chinese food, with a focus on Sichuan cuisine. I ordered Spicy beef with potato on rice ($15.5).

Ordering Order and pay at the counter first.

Picking your autistic seat Staff pick it for you, fat chance it won’t screw you up. You can check my photo and video for the restaurant layout.

Water & Napkins Water is self service. Napkins is on the table.

Food - 8/10 Actually I’ve tried this place twice. First time I ordered Wonton in chicken soup, it was delicious. Second time I ordered Spicy beef with potato on rice, the portion is good, big chunk of meat. The problem is the rice, too mushy and gooey. Flavour is fine, not my favourite.

Service - 9/10 As long as no one interrupts me eating and nothing unhappy happens. That’s already a 9. Good job.

Overall I will give this restaurant...
