The name of the place should give any potential patron a good idea of when the best time to eat here is: when drunk (get it, Drunken Noodle?). Accordingly, I have only ever eaten here when intoxicated. This place has been known to get packed with lines to the doors once the bars close on the weekends. Is the food going to knock your socks off? No, but you're drunk so who cares. My go-to's are the Mac & Cheese (doused with Sriracha) and Fettucini Alfredo. The wings and spring rolls are also pretty decent and reasonably priced. It's a nice change of pace from ordering a pizza, so if you happen to find yourself in the throes of some serious drunken munchies after an evening downtown, give the Drunken Noodle a shot. Also a good place to hang out for a bit if you don't want to compete with the onslaught of drunkards trying to grab a taxi home at 2:00 a.m.

I can't say how the food was because we got there in the middle of the day on a Sun & it was closed. Only, they didn't lock the door or bother to tell us it was closed until we has stood in line for about 5 min only to see their sign that said they were closed sitting on the counter. The guy working there right behind the counter also didn't feel it necessary to state they were closed. Idiots...

This please is a great late night place, it's amazing in the day, it's amazing all the time. Aside from the food being great I love the sexy guy named Oliver who takes orders. Makes the experience even better.

The pad Thai was so dry I couldn't believe they called it that! If drunk eat here & you'll stumble away happy if not drink before eating here!

Drunken Noodle Review: The worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. It was absolutely disgusting. I went in to eat on a Saturday night - during the late night rush. It was not that busy when we arrived but the line quickly lengthened about 10 minutes after we had been there. I realize that they were very busy, but our experience was inexcusable. I and a friend ordered the Pad Thai First, there were no numbers left so we had to wait at the front of the restaurant to hear our name called. It took about 30 minutes for our food to come out. While we were waiting for our food a worker came out with another group's food. He was trying to locate the patrons that the food belonged to. A girl said it was her friend's food. The girl said, "no, that isn't mine" the worker replied, "that's ok, you don't want to eat this stuff anyway." Then, once our food finally came out my friend and I took a few bites. It tasted terrible. The noodles were completely overcooked and were not rice noodles, there was no lime or peanuts and the consistency of the sauce was more like macaroni and cheese. I cannot stress how terrible it tasted. After a few bites, we decided to ask for a refund. When we took our food up and asked for a refund the two people working said they don't give refunds on late night food. I asked to speak with a manager and I was told there was no manager on duty. Then, as I was standing there, another person came up to complain that they had not received their food yet. The employee offered to sell the other customer our food (that he knew we had eaten out of) for $5! The employee gave me the restaurant number and told me to call back during the day. As we were leaving, the other customer who was complaining at the counter sat down with our food and started eating it. Our forks were still in the boxes! The employee sold or gave the customer the food that we had eaten out of! I called the store today to speak to a manager. I explained what happened and the manager apologized and said he would talk to his staff. I asked him to refund my money. He said that he could not refund my money but that he could offer me a free meal. I asked him if he would eat somewhere that resold food that had been eaten out of and he said no. I said that is exactly how I feel as well and I declined the meal. Once again I asked for a refund and he would not refund my money. I am not sure what happened to this place. The food use to be very good. That is clearly no longer the case. Not only is the food not good, the restaurant is dirty and unsanitary. I would highly recommend avoiding this place!

We liked the Noodles & Company better. Do not order the Mac & Cheese, it was soooo bland, my 3 year old didn't really like it, I didn't like it at all and it was $9!!!, next time, sticking to Noodles&Co
(2)EccentricFoodie J.
I've only been once. Their Cajun pasta was really good. I've tried to go back, but anytime close to when the bars are closing on the weekend, the place is freakin packed with people and there's a ridiculous line.
(4)Mike A.
Great food and great price. The drunken Noddles was super. The gyoza appetizer was very flavorful. Recommend this restaurant when in Fargo. I'll be back again
(5)Zheng H.
not good, no one to answer me, the food is just ok, no special.

They wouldn't know spicy if it bit 'em on the face. I really wanted to love this place, but it doesn't know if it wants to be a kitschy college dive that's secretly awesome or a more upscale joint. It's like there's a seriously dose of identity confusion, made worse by bland and boring food. I ordered the spiciest thing on the menu and it was absolutely heat-free. I had to drown my bowl in sriracha to get what I was after. And while it's clean and the people are nice enough, my girlfriend pointed out, "I go to a restaurant for the FOOD, not the decor." (Her dish was boring, too.) I give it two stars because it was clean, etc. Based on food, it's a big loser of a one-star place with a bland, bland, BLAND menu. I harbor no ill will against the place, but they've got to get their kitchen in order.

I was back in Fargo for a meeting this week and a colleague recommended Drunken Noodle. We were in at 1.30 on a Friday and had time to order, get our food, socialize, eat a quick bite, and pack up leftovers before our 2 pm meeting. The restaurant was certainly busy, but not too loud. There was one large group next to us, but the rest of the tables and booths had small groups of 3 or 4. I ordered the Beef Yakisoba and my dining companions ordered Pad Thai and Pineapple Fried Rice. The meal was a little pricy for lunch, but it was a good amount of food, so that offset the price. If I lived closer, I'd be in here a LOT, but alas, I am a few hours away. Service was speedy. I got a bottle of Dr Pepper as well as a tiny Thai fortune cookie (so cute, worth the quarter!) in addition to my noodles and my meal cost right around 10 with tax.

I used to absolutely love Drunken Noodle. It was vegetarian friendly, the service was fast, and the food was good. Along with it's sister restaurant Wasabi, Drunken Noodle has definitely taken a dive in the last year or so. The wait staff appears to care more about screwing around in the kitchen than actually serving anyone, and the food is honestly kind of bland. It's a good thing they have Sriracha sauce on all of the tables! Some positive things about the restaurant: You seat yourself, and there's usually no wait. The service is fast enough that you can get food to go. It's vegetarian friendly. It's budget friendly. It's open super late on the weekends and makes a GREAT snack after a night out drinking. Also they serve beer. Some negative things about the restaurant: The food isn't great (but it's not bad, either). Customer behavior declines after about midnight on the weekends. At least some of the wait staff are really unprofessional. Parking is on the street, and there's usually very little of it to be had. I recommend: Yakisoba with fried tofu. And some sriracha. I'd avoid: Meh not really anything. It's all passable.

This place is just my family's style... we love it here! It's super affordable and it's opened until late so we'd eat here ALL the time with our two young children when we lived closer to Fargo. The menu used to have more options, but they've scaled it down since then, which kind of disappoints me. However, it's really hard for me to order anything other than the Pad Thai or Spicy Cajun Pasta because those are just so good! My kids always get their Mac & Cheese... which is also to die for! (They recommended the Mac & Cheese with some Cajun seasoning once and it was amazing~). You can choose to add meat, (chicken, shrimp, beef), or tofu if you want to for an additional 75 cents. So affordable and tasty! For ambiance, it is pretty hipster, haha. The floors are concrete and the walls are nicely decorated. Sometimes they play obscure music loudly near the kitchen, but we enjoyed that. You can pick your own tables, so if that's something you wouldn't enjoy, then just pick a spot farther away from the open kitchen door. (BTW, I think the bathrooms are shared with the flower shop next door. In the summer sometimes, that shop leaves their back door open and the owner gave my kids free flowers when they thought it was the bathroom. Fun times!)

This is probably the closest thing to good pad thai I've had since moving to the frozen tundra. I would be willing to drive an hour to get some next time I have a craving. They have a number of various noodle options from mac n cheese, to pad thai, to regular italian style pasta. The service was quick, the girl was friendly. They were out of a few things (diet soda & some ingredients) hence the 3 stars. Not a bad place to eat.

The food: worst drunken noodles I've ever had. Easy and almost cheap, very casual place. The service was fine. It's like a noodle shop version of a college pizza place. Don't mistake this for a valid Thai or Asian restaurant.

I really liked their food when the restaurant first opened. I really dont know what happened to the management of this place. The last time there (about 4 months ago), I ordered the "Drunken Noodle". The man at the counter stated "15 minutes" and I said that I would wait outside. 15 minutes later, I walk in and they had just finished the food for guy who ordered just after me (it was a lot of food) but they were still not done with my singular dish. I had to wait *another* 10 minutes (yeah- 25 total) for my food (why were they cooking it last, after the people who ordered after me??) In the end, the chicken was leathery- waaay overcooked, and there were very few vegetables in the dish. I have never been back.

This place is a refreshing little shop in downtown Fargo. A great place to grab a simple little Thai lunch. Not too pricey and always served with a smile.

Fast friendly service! Food was good too! Can't beat that combo!

I've eaten here a couple of times, now. I remember the first time I felt like it was a pleasant surprise. Nice atmosphere and good food. I love that, like most of downtown Fargo, it's not a chain restaurant. This time I was with a group, so we had many different dishes at the table. I had the Pho - very nice. My son had the Udon - very good. My daughter had the Mac & Cheese - also very good. It's a place that my entire family enjoys, I'll definitely be back.
(4)Rob K.
This great noodle establishment would fit it in any college town anywhere in the U.S. and feel at home. Hipster behind the counter? Check. Indie music? Check. Funky decor? Check. Reasonably priced great food. CHECK! My daughter had the chicken pad thai and I had the Bamee Gaeng. Both were terrific, although I thought the pad thai was a tish better. Well done, Drunken Noodle, you have achieved casual hipster nosh excellence.
(4)John M.
I really like the simplicity of the Drunken Noodle. It is a fairly no frills place, with a casual and comfortable vibe. I can only directly speak to the Pad Thai, as I get that every single time I go there. I really should try something else, one of these days. But I just have cravings for the Drunken Noodle's Pad Thai. In eating there with friends, they've commented on liking the mac & cheese as well as the Pho.
(4)Michelle W.
I will have to come back a second time to get a better feel. But here's my first experience Pros Flavor and spice. It actually had both. Selection- varied. Though we all had Thai inspired dishes. Funky bohemian vibe. Cons Felt like we were eating in the hallway- a bit awkward. Pad Thai not as flavorful as we expected. Dishes Evil Jungle Noodle- like Thai Panang with extra coconut milk. Husband dumped in some sweet and sour sauce before I tasted it. Balance of flavors good when I had it. It tasted spicy to me so either it will burn a Midwestern palate or my palate is a acclimating. Spring roll- perfectly crunchy. Delicious. Drunken Noodle- delicious, if a bit oily. Skip the tomatoes- they really have no business in this dish Pad Thai- missing something. Oddly bland. Wasabi Sushi miso & California roll. Soup was fishy- too many bonito flakes, I think. Didn't try the roll.
(4)Rich S.
Good, but not great. It sort of reminded me of an Asian spin on Noodles & Co with a more hipster atmosphere. I ordered the Bamee Gaeng, which included egg noodles, chicken, lots of bok choy and other veggies in an extra spicy red curry sauce. The curry sauce was pretty good, nice and creamy and definitely not for those who are sensitive to heat. The prices were slightly high for the portion sizes I felt. There wasn't enough noodles or chicken in my opinion. The restaurant appears to be owned by the same people as Wasabi next door (which I enjoyed quite a bit more than DN I must admit).
(3)Alejandro M.
I got the chicken fried rice when I went for lunch. I think that the rice had a good flavor but the red onions were a little raw and there were chunks of tomato in the rice. Are tomatoes in traditional fried rice? I found it odd that the Chicken was a chicken tender and not regular shredded chicken. They gave me quarter sized chunks of chicken and it wasn't seasoned. Overall, I'd be willing to give them a second try. My friends have said they have had better things on the menu.
