Asian Noodle Bowl

Good food, good interior, good atmosphere, flexible thoughtful staff, sturdy utensils, at decent prices; this is definitely a place worth taking a look at if your in the area.

Nice interior with a comfortable atmosphere. Everything looked clean, and the kitchen seemed organized and well taken care of. The staff were polite, and were more than happy to work with us if a dish wasn't exactly how we wanted it.
There is a variety of utensils to choose from, for those who would prefer packaged disposable chopsticks, or solid reusable ones; as well as soup spoons, and decent quality silverware for those looking for forks, knives, etc.
You order and pay for your food at the counter as you walk in, and you are assigned a table, seating yourself. I'm sure if you ask, you could choose your table. You pick and choose your own utensils at a designated utensils table. After seating yourself you simply wait until a robot delivers your food to your table; you won't have a waiter looking after you. Which for some could be a downside; but I must admit I much preferred it. (Although it does lead one to question whether or not they should tip as well. You are prompted to tip upon paying, but if you have to seat yourself, get your own utensils, and don't have a waiter; I think it would be reasonable for one to not tip the normal customary amount, if at all. Although I happen to be generous so I tipped 20% regardless.) After eating your meal, there is a cart for you to put your dishes onto, upside down; with utensils and dishes asked to be separated. There are containers for taking home food, that are surprisingly decent quality, I expected cheap paper containers, with lids that barely hold on; but they are good. I like to see a business that is willing to spend a little extra money on the little things, to give customers a better experience.
We had a porkbelly starter which had a nice crunch on the outside, but juicy and tender underneath. The dish also had a light tossing of what I believe to be scallions, which was a great choice and paired perfectly with the flavors. The entrees were a Miso Ramen and Pho Beef. The miso was very flavorful, and looked as delicious as it tasted. Great ingredients and presentation. There was a complaint about the Pho Beef being slightly bland, however, the one who ordered it had complained about not liking spices, and wanted something very mild. So that was probably a hole she dug for herself.
I also ordered a brown sugar bubble tea, that I can't say I cared for. Only because I've never tried bubble tea, and I'm not really a tea fan. I'm sure their bubble tea is fine, and worth a taste test.

I would definitely recommend a visit! Even if the food ends up not being for you, I doubt it would be a bad experience overall. Plus, you get to say hello to the robot! (Just don't expect it to say hello back.)

What a fantastic addition to the marketplace! Great service. Modern and clean. Excellent food (same owner as Asian Cafe in Winslow and the former Thai 9 in Scarborough) served in perfect portions. I expected great things from this new venture and Asian Noodle Bowl delivers!

We’ve been dedicated Asian Cafe customers for years, so naturally had to try this place as it’s a little closer to home. This is the best addition and we’ve always been highly impressed! Delicious food always and the customer service is the best. Can’t beat either location! We switch it up just for fun between both but either are dynamite. Also toddler friendly which is a huge bonus. Love this place, excited to have 2 locations now!

This atmosphere was cool! They have the robotic waiter who brings you your food! I ordered the crispy Pad Thai which I had never tried anywhere else. It was incredibly delicious and 10/10 would order again!!

This isn’t a Panda Express. So if you’re thinking to walk in and get fresh to order food in 5-10mins. You have unrealistic expectations. It took about 20mins to get my food. Everything I ordered was very good and I will definitely be back. The miso ramen was extremely good! 😋
