Tasty Noodle House — Restaurant in Carlsbad

Amazing food, which came out hot, tasted phenomenal, & the service here was above average.

My wife picked this place, & she told me it was new, so we gave them some business. The only thing I didn't like about this place, was their Thai iced tea, as well as this iced green tea was $4.75, per glass, for a regular-sized glass-with no free refills. I showed up here super thirsty, & there's no way I was gonna pay apporox. $10 for 2 glasses of tea.

Tasty Noodle House starts off by bringing you two small, free bowls -1 filled with fresh salted peanuts, which were very good! The other was a bright green mound of pickled cucumber, mixed with seaweed. This was also mighty 😋.

I ordered the $15.99 Beef Chow Mein, In Black Pepper Sauce. When my plate came out, my eyes bugged out, when I saw how gynormous, the mound, of steaming hot noodles, mixed with green vegetable & thin, tender strips of beef, was! Not only that, my food tasted amazing! The pepper sauce...gave this dish a nice zing of flavor.

My wife ordered the Beef Brisket Noodle Soup. She loved hers, as well. There were humongous chunks of Asian-spiced Brisket, along with a large bowl of tender, super hot noodles, plus baby greens. In the broth, you could clearly taste the cardamom, & the flavor from red chile peppers, plus also the tastes derived from cinnamon sticks. Yowza, this was so good!

To cap it off, we ordered Shanghai-Grilled Pork Buns. These babies looked beautiful, tasted incredible, & were loaded with ground pork. There were golden brown sear marks on the bottom of these, & pale-colored sesame seeds, on the bottom of these, & black sesame seeds, sprinkled on the top of these Pork Buns, which really rocked!

I'd definitely...

We came here after an escape room as our little “victory meal.” The restaurant is located on the outside of the mall, easy to find, with a good amount of space and both indoor and outdoor seating. For food, I ordered the orange chicken. The menu noted it as spicy, and I even asked for a little extra spice, but it really didn’t have any heat at all. Still tasty, just not what I was expecting. My boyfriend went for the beef teriyaki, but since he’s currently obsessed with Szechuan flavors, we asked if they could add ground seeds. They didn’t have those, but they did add Szechuan oil, which he absolutely loved. (I’m one of those rare people who can’t taste the numbing/electric effect, so I missed out on that fun.) For drinks, he ordered a coconut smoothie, he said the Szechuan oil actually intensified the sweetness, which made it even better. I had a Thai tea, and it was just right: smooth, flavorful, and not overly sweet, which is exactly how I like it. Our server was fantastic, kind, funny, and super attentive to everything we needed without us ever having to ask twice. Overall, a really good experience with friendly service, solid portions, and some creative flexibility on the menu. Would...

The waiter pressures to order and I hate been pressure! I asked if my entree came with white rice. He mumbled .50 cent unsure what that meant so I said ok. Once received the bill he charged extra for white rice no problem. But the problem was about to start. My friends and I shared the bill they handled me cash for their portion so I would pay my portion with my debit card well the waiter who's also the cashier took the cash and my debit card and he charged the whole amount to my debit card and asked me to sign. I said no you have the cash and you suppose to charge me my portion only. He's like ok, ok I cancel now! I asked for the cancelation receipt he's like we honest, I said I still need the receipt. He got me two receipts for two transactions. This guy was completely lost but to his benefit! I am now disputing it with my bank because he didn't canceled it! What a disgusting first and last experience...
