Recently visited on a very busy weekend with a party of 4 in total and we were told there was a 45 minute wait but thankfully we were seated within 15 mins. We ordered Vegetable Spring Rolls and Dynamite Shrimp for starters both of which were delicious 😋😋 We also ordered the Spicy Chicken Dumplings and the Steamed Prawn Dumplings - they were good as well and the chicken ones had a surprising kick to them - they would have been perfect if a dipping sauce was accompanied with them. For the mains we ordered the Oodles Fried Noodles which we shared as it was a generous portion, the Oodles Special with Chicken and the Manchurian Sauce which was extremely flavourful, a chicken dish that I can't remember the name of (pictured below on a skewer) which came with a side of rice and coleslaw (which seemed overpriced for the portion) and lastly we had to order a side of fries (which was great for dipping in the Manchurian sauce). For the drinks we had 2 Virgin Mojito's, a Strawberry Mojito and a J20. Service was good despite how busy they were but the only thing that took long was getting our bill.

NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY I went back to Oodles after many many years. Now married with a 7 month old child. Drove from Leicester. We arrived at approximately 4:20pm and asked for table for 2. I could see many empty tables, however we were told to wait. Whilst waiting two seperate group of girls came in, who were given tables instantly. We were then taken to our table and told, IF you want to keep the pushchair with you, then you HAVE TO sit on a bench table - this is not suitable when you have a 7 month old, you need a proper chair with a back you can lean on. Alternatively, they said you can have a normal table with chairs IF you leave the pushchair somwhere else to the side - however they did not consider that we may need the pushchair if the baby falls asleep. —- they did not consider their customers needs, it was either there way or nothing. Natually the baby got tired, wanted to sleep, did not have anywhere to sleep and started shouting. TWO waiters came over like we were causing a nuisance, and asked “is everything okay” whilst we’re two young parents trying to soothe a crying baby. The food was average. The egg in the eggfried rice was stale like it had been fried days in advance. And the crispy beef, was ALL batter and no beef. 90% of pieces you could break apart and not see any beef inside. SERVICE: Most waiter looked to avoid doing any work, they only seemed to act when tables needed clearing. I had to request to order 3 times before somebody came and took our order, approx 20mins, and not even ordered drinks or served drinks. When we finished our meal, i asked for the bill, again i had to almost 20mins and ask 3 seperate waiters before i got my bill. Shambles. Last time i go there

So.. why 3 star only? First of all, waiters need to show more respect for womans! Is disgusting and degrading for ladies to not ask "everything is okay" from them. And take the order from me first, and give the drink and the food for me first when I'm with two woman at the table. So waiters need to learn much much more! Also, need a refurb for the restaurant. Seats was peeling. Need more "privacy" between tables. Like a frosted glass or anything. The bartender need proper tools to make drinks as I've seen, he pick up the mint leaves by hand to put in the cup. Also, for this price, I wast waiting for a bigger cup of drink because is non-alcoholic, so is cost nothing for you, but a little extra water in the mix what is too sweet. Food was okay. But the chips portion for the size of the chicken was littlebit small. (Add an option, like 50p more for bigger side and I'm happy to pay for it) I can write a little book what need to improve, but I don't do that for free. :) And PLEASE, RESPECT WOMANS!!!! Ask them first when taking orders, and gave them first the orders! Plus, when someone sit down, ask them for drink first, then for the food order. Not vice-versa. And if I ask for the bill, please ask is it cash or card, why I need to call the waiter to tell him is gonna be card payment?!

Been here many a times... On this occasion ordered a Ribeye steak, chicken burger and a full chicken platter Chicken burger and full chicken was alright tastewise. I asked for my ribeye steak to be cooked medium. When it arrived it seemed alright until I started eating it, it had good flavour to it but tasted abit burnt, so I turned over the steak and it was overly charred and burnt around the side. Did mention it to one of the managers but he just seemed to shrug it off by saying that's how they are cooked on the grill. Trust me I have had many a steak at different places and this is the first time I've had one like this. It's a shame because it did have decent taste and flavour to it. Lastly it would be nice if one of the managers would treat all his staff equally. As we witnessed, he had his arms around 2 of the female employees for a few seconds and then using foul language against a meal employee. Like I always say everyones taste buds differ and everyones opinions are different but this is my honest opinion. Lastly the portion sizes have drastically decreased and the prices have gone up. The size of the sides is ridiculously small. About ten chunky chips or a couple of table spoons of mash if that. Food and quality is not as before.

Came to oodles and ordered chicken dumplings for starters, spicy beef noodles and chicken shashlik. Where do I begin? The dumplings were stuck together and tasted terrible. Even with all the sauces we tried to add it was terrible. The noodles looked like they were cooked in a drop of ketchup and were stuck together like they were days old. Tasted awful, no spicy beef flavour at all. Chicken shashlik was okay, but again I’m only saying that as the rest of the food was so so bad. I’d never go again, I’m shocked it had so many customers - maybe I ordered the worst items on the menu but lord knows. In regards to customer service, the waiters were good. Service was slow between starters and mains. The two male and female ‘managers’ stood at the door didn’t care about the restaurant, they were on their phones, hugging random friends who walked in to see them. Overall I’d never go and never ever recommend this place to a single person unless there’s some revolutionary change.

Okay so before I write this review I have to set the scene. We're a bunch of Londoners used to paying extortionate prices with small portions for our food. So when we come to a place like Oodles N'oodles we're slightly take aback....in a positive way. Where to start? The menu - wow what a variety of choice. This place literally does everything under the sun. Steak, burgers, pan Asian food, you name it. The cost - I need to move to Birmingham if this is how much you pay for a decent meal. Great friendly service, as you would expect from any place outside London. We had the kids with us and the staff were ubber friendly. We've been three times, all during lunch time on a weekend and it's been dead. Just my kind of restaurant! There's nothing worse than a restaurant where you can't hear yourself think. Really tasty food. Portions are so generous we always end up taking a doggy bag home. When we're in Birmingham, we're paying the pilgrimage visit to oodles n'oodles!
