Midtown Noodles Bar — Restaurant in Tallahassee

Located in the heart of Tallahassee, Florida, Midtown Noodle Bar is a hidden gem that promises an authentic and delightful Vietnamese culinary adventure. During my recent visit to this charming eatery, I opted for their signature dish: the Pho with Eye Round beef, and I must say, it left a lasting impression.

As I stepped into the restaurant, I was greeted with warm smiles and a cozy ambiance that instantly made me feel at home. The staff was attentive and accommodating, guiding me through the menu and providing excellent recommendations.

The star of the show, the Pho with Eye Round beef, arrived promptly, served in a generously-sized bowl filled with steaming, fragrant broth. The first sip instantly awakened my senses, as the complex flavors of cinnamon, star anise, and cloves intermingled harmoniously with the umami of the beef broth. It was clear that the broth had been simmered to perfection, allowing the flavors to develop a rich depth that is often hard to find in Pho.

The Pho's rice noodles were cooked to perfection - soft with a delightful bite, absorbing the broth's flavors without becoming soggy. The thinly sliced Eye Round beef was tender and cooked just right, delivering a melt-in-your-mouth experience with every bite. The dish was accompanied by a traditional garnish plate containing bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime wedges, and jalapenos, allowing diners to tailor the flavors to their preferences.

What impressed me most about Midtown Noodle Bar was their commitment to authenticity. It was evident in the attention to detail in every aspect of the dish, from the high-quality ingredients to the traditional preparation methods. It truly felt like a culinary journey to the streets of Vietnam, right in the heart of Tallahassee.

The restaurant also offered an array of other Vietnamese delicacies that I can't wait to explore on my next visit. From delectable spring rolls to the range of delicious broth-oriented dishes, Midtown Noodle Bar has a wide variety of options to satisfy any palate.

I have never posted a negative dining review, but being one of the 5 worst dining experiences in my life, I felt obligated.

From the beginning to end, I was disappointed. I drove across town because of the high rating on Yelp, and was greeted by a young woman who was talking on her AirPods as I ordered. No biggie, but after the subsequent issues it added to the overall experience.

I ordered the steak ramen, spring rolls and an iced tea. After filling up my tea I found that the tea was spoiled, and had that taste of tea that has been sitting for multiple days. Also not a biggie by itself, but after former and latter issues, it added to the overall experience.

After receiving my spring rolls (Vegetable), I took a bite and found them frozen in the middle. I asked the girl working the register (Still on her phone) if the spring rolls were made fresh, and she told me that indeed they were. I told her that they were still frozen, whereupon she grabbed the remaining spring roll and brought back two more that were warm on the outside and scorching hot on the inside (Microwaved). The vegetables inside the spring rolls were mushy at best and had the consistency of grits. By far the most disgusting spring rolls I have ever had.

The ramen itself was ok, although the noodles were undercooked and the yolk on the egg had skin on it, which makes me feel like it’s been tiring in a fridge for a while.

I spent $30 on this meal and now praying that I...

I was very surprised to find that there were pho restaurants in Tallahassee. I am not sure if they have opened since I left or I just didn’t know them when I was there. After a quick Yelp search, I initially was supposed to go to another one but they were closed by the time I got there and I stumbled upon this one. I have since told my friend girl that lives there to try this place out.

I got a meatless pho with extra bean sprouts. I didn’t get the bean sprouts but I suppose because I didn’t order meat they gave me a bunch of vegetables that I didn’t eat. When she asked, “so just vegetables” I wasn’t aware of the vegetables she was talking about. Nevertheless what I did eat out of the vegetables with my broth was just delicious. The broth itself was just a hint sweeter than I prefer but I had some limes to cut that taste.

The restaurant itself was nice and clean. The staff was very nice and inviting. Even the restaurant itself was bright and inviting. The outside decor was very hip.

Whenever I do come back to Tallahassee, I would definitely come to this...
