Amazing food and service! Their house fried rice is fantastic!

These guys were going through a remodel the last time I went so as far as in dining experience... there was none. We ordered ahead of time and brought it home with us. The Pad Thai was a little dry and full of flavor. The crab Rangoon was very tasty. It was uniquely shaped like a triangle and had a lot of filling and less breading. Very good! I had the Drunken Noodles. WOW! These are worth going back for. I haven't been to another place in Madison with this dish. The noodles were thick and filling. The soupy sauce was spicy and full of flavor. This is a must try on the menu. Overall, not the best Thai place I've tried but certainly good enough to warrant my repeat business!
(4)Megan R.
I love that they have vegan options. Their food is very authentic and flavorful. I think their prices are reasonable as well.
(5)Jennifer F.
This is my go to Thai food restaurant. They have a great variety on their menu. I personally almost always go for the curry squash but also love their pad thai and panang. My dad always gets a different spicy dish with seafood, and he loves it too. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They are also quick.
(5)Brian F.
Great pad panang, nice service, and fast. I stop by here often for food before weekend work sessions in the Barriques next door. I've never been disappointed, and always leave full. Plus, they have those amazing guava candies, oh lord.
(4)D. M.
There are a couple of choices on the menu that are good, primarily the soups.... Yet if you really love Thai food and happen to be in the neighborhood, you might just want to put that craving on hold and go to the Subway next door for a foot long steak and cheese.

I love Thai Noodles. My favorite items: Triangle Curry: Rich, flavorful and packed with ingredients. Crab Rangoon, which is actually triangle rangoon. Its very full with filling and sweet. I love them. Spring rolls (raw): I really enjoy this type of food. The rolls always taste fresh and are packed with cilantro, rice noodles and thai roasted pork. SO good! Roasted Duck Curry: Its a (very) sweet red curry but its delicious. Packed with flavors, its easily one of their best dishes and comes out perfectly every time. Jungle/Squash/Make your own red curry: I love thai curries. I love that they're sweet, rich and filling. Thai noodles' curries, I think, are much better than other Thai places in the area. I've never had a bad meal here. I think its a great place to branch off into a different cuisine. The portions are big and the people are friendly. I really like that I can see into the back where the parents are cooking (its a family restaurant) and they have a big cart laden with spice dishes. SO cool!
(5)Nancy N.
I always think - there must be MSG or some other delicious carcinogen in here to make it so good. And then I think - oh well, it's worth it.

Used to really enjoy this place not so much anymore. Food is now awful, ordered chicken satay and it was rancid! The food was rotten and far from fresh. Got really sick from it and would never go back! Manager would not refund our dinner after he said he would, it never happened! we had to throw the whole dinner out after a few bites and getting sick! Buyer beware...
(1)Micah S.
Best Thai food in the area. Hands down. Got the pad panang it was so good I had multiple bowls of rice with it. Also the Tom yum soup was awesome with so much mushrooms. I love mushrooms! We will definitely visit here regularly. The service was also great, the servers filled up our drinks constantly and were attentive to our desires. Best Thai place ever
(5)Chy L.
Don't come here expecting any ambiance. This is a very clean, modest restaurant that had high traffic take -out business with a few tables. I've tried the curries and noodles, they are all good but I just don't believe it's the best. Instead I will go to Curry in a Box just down the road. However, I will say this place has better hours than the aforementioned curry establishment.
(3)Onotse I.
This place for whatever reason has glowing reviews and unfortunately I was sucked in by them. I ordered take-out from here today based on the reviews and I have to say this is hands down the worst Thai food I have ever had. I ordered the squash curry which sounded great on the menu. It comes with squash, yams, bamboo shoots and peppers which generally is a recipe for a delicious dinner but trust me my friend it certainly is not. When I got my food home I was very excited because I noticed how large the portions were and it smelled amazing! Upon closer inspection however I noticed the separation in the curry which I don't think I have ever noticed as much in other curry dishes. I prepared my plate and took my first bite and hated it. The dish lacks flavor and was very runny. The chicken was okay but everything else was just dreadful. Even the rice that came with the dish seemed to not have enough salt or something. On another note when I walked in their was a board with specials on the menu. Once of the specials was sausage fried rice but there was a dog drawn next to the name of the dish. This struck me as weird to say the least! I wish I was able to give this place a better review as it is so close to my place and I'd like to have a great Thai place nearby but this place did not pass the mark. Others have commented on how authentic this place is but I beg to differ, a lot! If this is authentic then I'd take inauthentic any day!
(1)Jimmy K.
Had papaya salad, it wasn't great, wasn't horrible. I give it B--. The unforgivable dish was the musaman curry. It was runny, and it came in this huge dish the made it look like soup. Curry was mostly onion and few pieces of potatoes. I felt like I went back in time and was surviving the Korean War or something. All these infractions could had been forgivable only if the dish had some flavor. It had no flavor at all! It was crappy vegetables in brown water. This is what starving North Koreans must eat.
(2)Jamie D.
Ordered Pad See U and Pad Thai. Neither were great, but the Pad See U was not good. Basically tasted as if only cooked in soy sauce. Rice noodles were way over cooked and soggy. Pad Thai was better, but only okay. There was too much sauce on the noodles, but at least the noodles were properly cooked. Fails in comparison to my favorite Thai place in Madison (Thai Basil)
(2)Ashley G.
My boyfriend and I left this place wondering where we should eat lunch--neither of us felt satisfied after our meals. My boyfriend ordered a seafood dish and I got a HUGE bowl of soup (only one size, 24oz). My $8 soup was a bowl of broth topped with a handful of mushrooms. Overpriced and overspiced... Don't order anything here containing cilantro unless that's all you want to taste.
(2)Dave C.
We really like the chicken and noodles, all the food is very tasty
(5)Anthony R.
If you have read any of my other reviews of Thai restaurants, you will know I always test a new Thai restaurant with Pad See Ew. It is by all appearances, a simple dish. This is of course, strictly true. However, I have found that simple dishes offer a true test of a restaurant's capabilities and consistency. If a restaurant cannot prepare simple dishes well, there is no reason to expect better from a complex dish. As you may guess, I ordered the Pad See Ew. I was not disappointed. The "simple" sauce had that complex, slightly burned flavor that is the mark of the best Thai restaurants (most just take like plain soy sauce). The egg was folded in properly and still looked like egg, not brown, stringy goo. The broccoli was crispy and fresh, but not raw. The noodles were perfectly cooked, neither "al dente" (a bogus, nonsensical "gourmet" term), nor swollen and overcooked. The spice level was perfect, i.e. spicy with plenty of flavor, not just heat. An excellent assortment of spices accompanied our order to allow customers to customize their meals as desired. I upped the heat considerable after tasting it to make sure the heat would not destroy the flavor. The portion was correct: I was wishing there were a bit more but after sitting for a moment or two discovered I was fully satisfied. The restaurant is small and oriented to lunch diners, but I returned the next day for take-out and found the take-out as good as the dine-in. Under $10 for either meal! Highly recommended.
(5)Neftali S.
Good, fast thai food. I frequently get the Pad Z U and thai iced coffee and am usually pretty satisfied. The recent renovation is a big plus with a clean interior and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Pricing is comparable for the quality of the food.
(3)Ellie S.
We stopped by here because the Indian place, Haveli, on the corner was closed. Thai Noodles was not satisfying. I ordered Pad Z You per the recommendation from the review below. The noodles weren't fully cooked and the heat (temperature) throughout the dish was inconsistent, as if they threw the dish in the microwave and served it. The beef was tender, though. My friends were much more hungry than I was and finished their dishes. Drunken Noodles ams Green Curry. I checked in using the yelp offer for a free tea and they charged me for it. She returned the money in cash after I asked, which was nice. I wouldn't be returning.
(2)Andrew F.
We ate there on 3/2/15 and when we entered, the place had us wondering if it we should stay or go - it's simple booths and tables. The waiter was nice. We sat towards the back because we wanted to be warm. The important part of the review is that the food was delicious! I had a generous serving of duck curry - wow it was great! All three of us thought the food was perfect! You can take a shuttle from Holiday Inn Express in Verona - but they don't accept AMEX. So for a casual Thai dinner where you want to eat plenty of really very good Thai food - I can recommend Thai Noodles.
(4)Conswello C.
I have loved Thai Noodles since the very first time I walked in. I am now a big pho fan and I love that I can get my level of spicy, yes I know it's dumbed down american, "just a little more spicy" but it works for me and they can make it happen. I have eaten the pho, the fried rice, jungle curry (and many others) and the create your own curry, all of which have been fantastic. The service is liken to a greasy spoon in a small town. It's nice, friendly and gracious, food is made to order and they are able to recommend things based on previous visits. Oh and they remember who you are. I follow/like them on FB and they announce specials and features. I love the dinner for 2 special that they run from time to time. There is competition in this Curry space here in Madison, but I think Thai Noodles takes the prize! Thanks for being so great!
(4)Zzaazz A.
Really bad food. Got stomach ache the next day after eating the thai fried rice! Yuckkkkkk
(1)Anna S.
I've ordered carry out here dozens of times and the food has always been great. Today I went in for sit down service. There were two employees at the front desk and a woman in line ahead of me. The one employee was helping the customer while the other sat there and never greeted me.... So I decided to find a seat. Before I could sit down at a table the man yelled "mam!" At me and then Very aggressively asked if I was here for sit down, in which I replied "yes". He then proceeded to bark at me that I needed to wait to be seated. There was only one other guest in the place... So I stood next to the table I was going to sit at and waited for the other employee to put a menu down on the table before I was allowed to sit. I've worked in the food service industry for over ten years and have never treated a guest like that. And so, even though their food is good I will never be ordering from there again. There are plenty if other great restaurants in this town that would actually welcome my business.
(1)Steven T.
Solid curry. Apps are delicious. Take outs usually take about 20 minutes, but Ive been a repeat customer for over 20 times and have always been happy with my meal. Will continue to go back.
(5)Rebecca M.
I love this cosy, little restaurant and love to grab take out here. Their spring rolls are so fresh and are yummy - definitely the best I have ever had. My husband and I love the pho and curries. I wouldn't recommend eating in the restaurant during the lunch/dinner rush because they are very popular and it will take longer to get served. Although this place is small and is mainly for takeout, my husband and I stop by on movie dates and I have taken small groups of people here and the service is always super friendly.
(5)April S.
As the vegan in the room (looks around to see whose with me), it's always a challenge to find GOOD vegan spots so whenever I'm visiting I have to rely on YELP quite a bit. Anyway, YELPING about this place. Loved it. Tofu Pad Thai is my fav!!! I'm going back for lunch today so I can try a rice dish. #teamThainoodlesforever ;-)
(4)Yousuf A.
Looking at it, you wouldn't think this place would be so great. 1) Food is very tasty, clean and healthy. 2) Service is phenomenal. I got curry catfish and vegetables. I'm also very happy they don't serve any alcohol.
(5)Mark W.
I've only tried three dishes off of their menu. The spring rolls (Iceberg Lettuce, not much flavor, terrible dipping sauce), the Tofu Pad Thai (good taste, lots to eat, limited flavor), and the Khewtiew (Pho) Pork (tasty broth, not much pork, lots to eat, spicy). Nothing wowed me, but I will be back to try more of the curries, drunken noodles, and pad Thai. Overall, reasonably good Thai food. Not a place to dine-in at. (Service was clunky and felt like a burden.) Certainly not the best Thai food I've had in Madison, but close to work.
(3)Emigh C.
I want to point out that this is really a take-out place, not a fine-dining experience. Although the food is great, the ambiance just isn't there. And I'm totally OK with that. Hubs is a big fan of the duck and squash curries, while I'm a fan of the green curry (Gan Kiew Wan) and Pad Thai. I'd also like to give an A+ to the Thai Iced Tea. I personally like my Thai food thicker, not runnier, and since this place opened, I've noticed that the level of spiciness has been tapered down. This place is owned by a family from Thailand and I'm guessing they learned that Americans generally have rather bland tastebuds. You have to speak up if you want the spice. I'm totally OK with that. We have been eating here every 1 1/2 months since it opened. We ate in the restaurant twice, and now we do take-out exclusively. It's because the front door opens right into the one room, so if you're dining in on a cold day, you'll constantly be chilled by jerks like me walking in and out for their take-out. And if you have to use the bathroom, that door opens right into the dining room, with zero privacy. It's a bit awkward, especially if someone's digestive system is trying to mutiny halfway through dinner. If I'm eating in a restaurant, I'd rather not feel a cold draft every few minutes from the front door. I'd also rather not smell someone's post-dump odor clinging to them as they walk past my table. So we do takeout. We have never waited much longer than 25 minutes for our food, because we don't order at peak meal times, and I'm totally OK with that too. If you're considering this place for a romantic date, follow this plan: Walk in, order from the menu. Let them know how spicy you want your food. Walk next door to Barrique's and spend twenty minutes to pick out a nice bottle of wine that will compliment your meal. Get a dessert to share. If you need to use the bathroom, use theirs. It's prettier. Walk back over to Thai Noodle to get your takeout. Take your date back to your place (or theirs), and one of you can uncork the wine and light some candles while the other plates the food. After that, the rest is up to you. I'm totally OK with that.
(5)Allen Z.
I came here with friends and it was quite uninspiring. All other factors aside, the food was pretty underwhelming. Of all the Thai places I've been in Madison, this is by far the worst. It was bland, soupy, and sparse. The drunken noodle dish, for example, was drowned in watery sauce, so much so that each ingredient of it had to be fished out of what was basically an overly salty broth. Other dishes that I tried were also all either inundated by liquid or completely oversalted (drowning all other flavors, if there even were any other flavors to begin with). I wish that I could rate it even 2 stars, because it looks like it's family run and they try hard, but the food was definitely not worth it.
(1)Christopher T.
Traveling on business, this place was a pleasant surprise. Low on atmosphere but really good food. The fresh spring rolls were excellent.
(4)Daniella M.
I've never been so impressed with a Thai restaurant. This place has got it going on. I absolutely LOVE the Pho. I could eat it everyday. The service is great. Everyone that works there is really nice. It can get busy at lunch time and you might need to wait, but its worth it!
(5)Charmaine V.
This is my first trip here in Madison and this is one of the places which my coworker recommended for Thai food. First time I came here I tried the pad thai and it was delicious. Not as "saucey" as I am used to but I love it. The second time I had lunch here my recommended the red curry with catfish. I havent eaten that much curry dishes but I like this one. I love the thai iced tea...I would definitely come back if Im in town.
(4)Mark N.
I'm no expert on Thai food, but I know what I like. The pad Thai here is really good. The service was friendly and quick. I'll come back for sure!
(4)Jack and Kissy I.
We' live nearby so have frequented Thai Noodles often as it's quick to pick up. The only two things we've liked so far is the Panang, but we had that again last night and it was bland. That's the story really, their food lacks any flavor, to the point where it truly is just bland. I think we are done with this place. It is unfortunate. Kissy and Jack
(2)Holly D.
After reading all of these reviews, I was really excited for my Thai Noodles experience. We ordered takeout, I got pad thai and the boy got curry. We also got tofu eggrolls and spring rolls. The standout item was the eggrolls... The pad thai was nothing special, I have definately had better in Madison and the curry was nothing to write home about either... It was very watery and lacking any flavor... there was no standout spice or curry flavor and the pad thai was very sticky and seemed over cooked.
(2)Dean B.
I've been eating at this little gem for over a year now. It's a small place with 5 or 6 tables. Family owned and operated. Stellar service, but what really keeps me going back over and over again is the food. I've traveled through their menu almost completely . This coming from a man that always eats the same thing when I find something good. I've had everyone of the delicious Thai curries. I dream about them . The pad Thai.. 5 stars. The rice and seafood dishes are wonderful. Do yourself a favor and ask for the garlic chili condiment they serve in the little silver bowls. I put it on everything. I can't get enough.
(5)Alyska B.
One of my staple Thai restaurants in Madison for takeout. They do an excellent job of making their spicy food *spicy* (and not "Midwestern-spicy") and also flavorful-spicy (pain is not a flavor.) My favorites on the menu include their pho (one of my baseline dishes for Thai & Vietnamese restaurants) and pad-z-you. My partner loves their satay, spring rolls, and pad thai. A recent renovation/expansion has improved their dine-in experience, but it's still a bit odd -- very brightly-lit and feels a little *too* fast food (rushed) for food I'd like to sit down and enjoy a bit more. Drinks (something else I only get when I eat there) are also a bit spendy -- I don't mind paying a few dollars for thai coffee or iced tea, or a blended smoothie, but nearly that for a can of soda? These are easily avoidable, though. Honestly, my biggest (only?) real complaint about Thai Noodles is that they don't deliver; thankfully, I live relatively nearby. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for good Thai food in town.
(4)Danielle B.
Their Panang Chicken is the bomb. I love that they recently renovated to offer more seating and a patio! They also do a good job of delivering "extra extra extra spicy. A spicy as you can make it!" when requested. I wish that they delivered, that's my only complaint.
(5)Steve L.
Revisited recently - a few items to note: + Improved seating/dining area. Looks like they remodeled the inside and it's more comfortable if you're dining in. Waiting for a to-go order? Still a bit awkward, but at least there's a half wall to divide the entrance from the dining area. - Service still a bit "off"; very rushed feeling. Our server sat us and before our butts hit the chair he was asking what we wanted to eat. We asked for a minute, and he returned literally within a minute to see if we were ready. - Pricey. $1.50 for a can of coke or a single cup of tea. Most entrees border $10. Most appetizers border $7. Papya salad, diet coke, and entree cost more than $20 before tip. That's steep, in my book, given the quality and quantity. + Spice levels are perfect. Three spice will get your attention but won't overwhelm. For the value, atmosphere, and service, you can do a lot better. Monsoon Siam destroys this place all day long.
(2)Ashley T.
Underwhelmed with the spring rolls and beef pho. Spring rolls and peanut sauce were both bland. Beef pho barely had any meat. Broth was pretty tasty but that bean sprouts were brown and not fresh. May try a different dish in the future. But for the best pho I've had try Saigon Noodles.
(3)Jason A.
Was looking for something a little lighter on the waist so decided to try the pho. I opted for the seafood pho, which had shrimp, octopus, artificial crab, mussels, rice noodles, and broth. It was served with the typical sides (bean sprouts, onion, lime, etc). Now I'm no pho expert, but I thought this was some pretty good stuff. I'd happily order this again and likely will. I've been to the Thai Noodle several times and have always been happy with my meal. They've also recently renovated the inside, making it much more appealing for dining in, which I did. In fact, they have tables to seat 28 comfortably. Don't hesitate to try the pho next time you have a craving! Oh yeah, did I mention it was only $8.95!
(4)Dylan K.
Anyone claiming this is the best Thai food in Madison definitely has NOT been to Suwanasak, or they know nothing about Thai food, period. I got the musaman curry, which was fine--spice level was nonexistent, despite asking for some heat. It also lacked the traditional peanutty backbone a musaman curry is supposed to have. Other than that, it was good. We had to ask for the side spices--which are usually on the table--and that helped the heat. Anyways, in short: it was fine/good, but nothing special. Places like Thai Noodles make me feel the need to revisit my ratings system--this was fine (hence the 3 stars), but if Ayada (Queens) was given 4, where does it end?! This place has nothing on the now-defunct Asian One or clearly superior Suwanasak. Would I go back? Eh, maybe, but not with Suwanasak present in Madison.
(3)Gloria L.
Their improved restaurant is good. Service is friendly. The food is below average. The prices are somewhat reasonable. I wished they would get a better cook or cooks. I love the location since it is close to my house.
(2)Scrantz L.
If you have ever eaten Thai food anywhere else- say, the West coast, you will know what it is supposed to taste like. NOT like this. Sadly this is the worst Thai food I have ever had: the worst. We were sucked in by the 4 star review and went with high hopes. Pad see ew was bland and boring. Yum pla muk - the seafood salad was so over Fish sauced as to be almost inedible. and no lettuce, just cucumbers. Pad prik mao(?) with beef was barely OK and boring. The service was friendly. The place seemed clean. No booze.
(1)Joe M.
How things change. Recently went and ordered simply Chicken Satay and Spring Rolls. The satay chicken was rancid. It tasted like shi*t, literally, smelled like dog poop. It was way wrong. We did get sick overnight. Finally having called that evening to complain, the person on the other end said we would get a refund that never happened. Regardless, this place has gone downhill in a major way from award winner to garbage dump. They have now lost another long-time customer. If you want quality food you need to travel to Milwaukee or Chicago, best to just leave Madison altogether if eating out is important to you, there is little here which can stand the test of time, even Banzo is totally inconsistent with their recipes and quality, sad. Hopefully Thai Noodle will shutdown and make space for the Subway next door to expand, ewww.
(1)Renee F.
Hole in the wall is a pretty adequate description of this place. Don't expect atmosphere if you are eating in. I order take out from here quite regularly as I am a fan of the Pad Thai. The portions are generous, and I like that the chicken pad thai also has pieces of tofu in it. The summer rolls are good, and the crab rangoons are a little unique but delicious. Overall, I prefer Curry in the Box for thai food in Fitchburg, but this place is worth a try. Order your food for takeout, open a bottle of Chardonnay, and you've got yourself a decent meal in.
(3)RR E.
Enjoyed the Pad Thai, Rangoon and Rolls.
(5)Sherry L.
I have very mixed feelings about this place. When we walked in at first, I was almost positive that we had gotten the wrong address - even though the sign in front obviously said "Thai Noodle" - because the place looks nothing at all like a restaurant. It is literally an empty room with a few fold-up chairs/tables strewn around, a fridge in one corner, and the cash register at the other corner. Seriously, this place is NOT AT ALL an eat-in restaurant, and I think they would serve themselves better if they were to advertise themselves as solely a catering/take-out service. Also, I took a peek into the back "kitchen", and I honestly wasn't sure where the cooking was being done. All I saw was a really dark, dirty looking room filled with empty vegetable boxes - plus maybe a glimpse of the one, lone cook in a white jacket. Hygiene, anyone? Still, they had decent reviews from yelp and other websites, so I decided I'd give it a try. My friend ordered a chicken/rice dish and I ordered a padthai (my go-to thai dish), and it took us about 15 minutes to get the food. My friend's chicken rice was delicious, but I thought my padthai was at most average. The noodles were a little overcooked and broken up into little pieces, which made it difficult to eat. Otherwise, nothing really stands out about the dish, although lemon juice helped brighten up the flavor. I may try a few other dishes from Thai Noodle in the future, but I think Noodles&Company's pad thai is the clear winner on this side of Madison. One redeeming factor: they have a bowl of DELICIOUS guava candy sitting at the cash register stand. I would have dumped the whole bowl of candy into my takeout bag if no one had been watching...
(3)James Roswell Q.
Great shrimp rolls and Thai iced tea. The waitress is a joy. The food is delicious and just spicy enough, so be sure to ask for spicier if you prefer it that way. The only reason we didn't give 5 stars was because of the take-out ambience. Great for take-out, bad for eat-in. Great value.
(4)Thomas J.
I was visiting Madison for a family wedding and we were heading to Subway to pick up some lunch. As we pulled up, I noticed Thai Noodles but didn't want to leave the family since we literally just landed. Thankfully, my father-in-law shocked me by offering to dine with me while everyone else went to Subway. I love asian food. I cook it all the time. When we go out to eat, it is usually asian. I am not easily impressed. The menu was smaller than what I am used to, but I would rather have a few great options than many okay ones. If a Thai place can't even make pad thai right, move on. Thankufully, Thai Noodles got it right on the money. Great value, great food, and wonderful service. We ate at a few other asian places while in the Greater Madison area, and none of them compared.
(5)Franny G.
The nicest server in the world, I am pretty sure. Delicious food. Clean little place. I will eat there again and I'll bring friends!
(5)Mark R.
I really like the food here - eat here at least a few times a year during lunch from work. The waits can be a little long but, I've never experienced anything extreme or excessive. They do have a small kitchen so if you go on a busy day, or they have a lot of take out orders, it can be more of a wait.
(4)Jody M.
I went here for lunch and all the tables were taken. It was a very small area, maybe at most 10 tables. I was told there would be a wait of 10-20 minutes. I opted to order pad thai for take-out. I was disappointed with the dish. Too oily and too much sauce. Ever since then, I have steered clear of pad thai from any restaurant. Traumatized, I tell ya.
(1)Timothy S.
Good food, looooooongggggg wait. I don't mind waiting a while longer for good food but they were really way behind recently. Waited 40-50 min for my food. Expected to have to wait only 20. They told me the wait would be 30 min after I paid for my "to go" order. The food was terrific but this is now the second time I have had to wait a long long time. It would have been better had they given me a better estimate on the long wait. I would have gone for some things I needed down the street and then come back. I have to raise them back up a star. Went back recently because I felt the wait was worth it. I have been eating at other Asian restaurants recently with mixed results and boy did it stand out when I got my most recent order from Thai Noodles. The food was awesome and everything was super fresh and delicious. On top of this my order was ready in a very timely manner so I couldn't be more pleased. Thanks Tai Noodles, the food was wonderful. OMG! The pho was awesome!
(4)Joe S.
The best crab rangoon I have ever had!!! Having lived in SF, NY, LA, and Chicago I asked the waitress how the crab rangoon was and she replied without hesitation "it's the best in the city." I have to agree and we recommended it to the other two tables dining in the restaurant. The first table declined the recommendation and the second table ordered it and agreed it was world-class. The first table eventually decided to order the crab rangoon after the reaction of the second table convinced him it was worth trying! Service was friendly and prompt and I would strongly recommend this place for a good quick meal or take out. Agreed that the interior could use a bit more flavor but the food, price and service were more than enough to earn my repeat business.

I visited Thai Noodles with a friend, because it seemed like the most interesting restaurant immediately around the IMAX theater. The restaurant is small and a little sparse, with fewer than ten tables. It's clear that their main business is takeout. I can't comment on most of the menu, although the special looked good. All I ordered was a pad thai and tea. But the pad thai was one of the most flavorful, delicious and inexpensive I've had in Madison. For that alone, I know I'll be back.

since we share the same ethnic background as the owners of this place, i can make a lot of these foods on my own at home. that being said, when i'm not in the mood to make thai food from scratch, we always go here. i don't mind the seating arrangement of the place since it reminds me of the places in thailand that have awesome food, but are probably way dirtier. whenever they ask us how spicy we want it, we have to say we want it southeast asian spicy so there's a kick to the food, like how we'd make it at home! the following are all good dishes in my opinion: duck curry, pad thai, papaya salad, sticky rice, pad z you, and chicken masamun. i don't remember having other dishes, but all of these are good and filling. definitely worth checking out for some quick and cheap thai food.

Thia Noodles stands strong in my book, very strong. If you are going to a place to eat in search of atmosphere, Madison/Wisconsin in general is not a place for you (Go to France, Italy, or San Fran if you feel you know so much about food or call yourself a "foodie") I am writing this review like every review I write, its about the FOOD. Thia Noodles is good, damn good, especially for a place that receives very little fresh anything most of the year like WI. I have eaten Thia food in many places all over the country and world and would have to say Thia Noodles could hold its own anywhere, and stand out in a crowd. I love this place, and being a Vegetarian in WI, I love it more. The dishes are all very accommodating (like all good thia restaurants) with selection of tofu, however, my friends have all said the meat is nothing to be disappointed about. I eat here at least twice a month and don't think I will ever get sick of it considering the large amazing menu. Thank you Thia Noodles, you rock!
