Excellent!! Ordered coconut curry broth (definitely not "too" spicy!) and 5-spice pork broth - both were superb!
The braised pork was outta-this-world: flavourful and tender. The tofu was golden and soft creamy on the interior. The pork dumplings were pan seared to order, and fried to perfection. So delicious!
I believe they added cilantro as a Decorative topping, I picked it all off -- so if cilantro tastes like soap to you, too -- forewarned is forewarned.
The restaurant is bright, cheerful and has modern seating with pretty jewel toned velvety cushions. It is SPOTLESSLY clean. Every order is custom made. So give them a few minutes to customize your order. I think I saw DoorDash picking up an order in there, not sure, call to confirm. Extremely courteous, polite and Friendly service! Definitely going back tomorrow as we head back home!
I have never had a bad meal at Mainely Noods. Their menu is simple but accommodates most diets, very reasonably priced, service is fast and friendly, and their coconut curry broth is out of this world. One of my top five takeout places in the area.
First time getting dinner tonight and it was outstanding! We did the build your own with miso broth, pork, egg noodles, and veggies. Also got pork dumplings for an appetizer, also delicious. I loved that they packed the broth separate from the bowl, so everything was fresh when we got home to eat it. Will definitely be back.
I ordered on doordash and I enjoyed it. Vegetable dumplings were amazing. I had the five spice broth with noodles. The broth was a little too sweet in my opinion but overall still good. Tasted fresh and clean. I would come back and try a different broth.
