Noodle Point — Restaurant in Portland

I gave 3 stars because I love and appreciate the late night hours. They open until midnight! Yelp and posted hours are accurate.

2/5 for food quality, it wasn't anything I would crave for. I do want to come back to check out their soup since a few of them have taro which I like on specific dishes.

I ordered mostly skewers since I wasn't too hungry and wanted to sample as much as I could. They do offer items you wouldn't normally get at typical restaurants: chicken gizzards and hearts.

I ordered: Bacon Needle Mushroom (2 skewer) $6, Chicken Gizzard (3 skewer) $5.50, Chicken Heart (3 skewer) $6, Eggplant(1) $6, Chives (2 skewer) $5, Pacific Saury (1) $6.50.

The chicken gizzard, chicken heart, and chives were all overcooked and not much of flavor. The chicken heart had a tad sweeter taste while chicken gizzard and chives were just salty. I did ask what sauce was used or how they were seasoned, the staff kept holding one of the condiment on the table up to me that looked like powder spice/salt which I didn't need it at all for what I ordered. I could tell he was tired of me asking so he said whatever the chef uses.

I enjoyed the texture of bacon needle mushroom and they looked pretty as well. The eggplant cooked just right which I like but the blanketed garlic sauce came with it didn't really much for the flavor.

The pacific saury came with a side soy sauce and mustard/wasabi or some sort which I didn't need it at all since the flavor was just right for me. If you haven't had it before, pacific soury has more fine bones than most so be careful with it.

Casual setting with shared restroom in a hallway with other businesses on this strip mall plaza. I suggest you to be mindful of your surroundings if you're female and dine alone in the evening.

P.Y. The restroom has...

This is a little hole-in-the-wall in the same complex as My Brother’s Crawfish, Teo Bun Bo Hue, and Zero Degrees. The inside is quaint but clean. We walked in and the staff were eating dinner together which was really sweet to see. We were seated immediately and got our order taken within ten minutes after we had a chance to look at the menu.

Food came out in about 10-15 minutes and the skewers were SO flavorful. While it didn’t seem like a lot of food at first, we left satisfied and felt like it was the perfect amount! I do wish they had a few more offerings but what we tried was delicious and I’ll definitely be...

Extremely tasty but also simple food. I had the cucumber salad. (Didn’t come with lotus root unfortunately) and fried rice. My partner got the bacon and mushroom skewers and laksa. Everything was extremely delicious.

The front of house staff did everything. Bussed tables, seated people, took orders, answered phone, took payment. And it was pretty busy. So of course it took a bit to be seated. But you could tell he was hustling! So it wasn’t a big deal. I would definitely come back. Very delicious and I think my partner would try the garlic...
