Canal Street Noodle House

Half of the items from the menu are not available. Food was ok, not great. No tables around to eat at. Too expensive for what it is.

Giving one star is generous. This was by far the worst food I have ever tried to eat. Ordered the chicken Pho. First of all, where is the health inspection certificate? The morons who work there wore gloves, handled money and then used their hands to put the vegetables and noodles in the soup. They must think that wearing gloves is to protect them, not the customer. No concept of food safety whatsoever. The chicken is absolutely disgusting looking. Thank god in the 5 bites of soup we had before we threw out our meal we didn’t get food poisoning. Do not eat at this overpriced, unsanitary and unappetizing establishment.

Unfortunately, not happy with meal and requested refund. Noodles were hard perhaps sitting in heated pan too long. Pepper steak really taste like southern food....

This store lie the price. The price in the manu is $1 less then what you actually pay. I asked them why the price is so high and they didn’t explain. I asked that the receipt and it shows the each food has charged $1 more. If I knew that’s the price, I never eat here. The price is so expensive and the food is so bad. They don’t even have beef pho soup and they charged small beef pho soup actually for chicken pho soup for $8.99 (on the manu, it’s for $7.99) and lunch box is for $15.49 (on the manu, it’s for $14.49). And I have 1 bottle of water for $3.49. I spent $30.51 for so poor food breakfast. I will never come back here for this food and the price

This is the worst noodle bar I've ever tried. The meal was terrible. And I also have to say that the bartender was very rude and impatient. Choosing this restaurant to have a meal is the worst decision you can make, indeed.

Please do not eat here, the exterior finish is misleading and is not in any way representative of the quality of the food served. The price isn't justified either. I highly suggest taking a short walk to other restaurants. Most other reviews are accurate about the hygiene concerns.

I will eat road gravel before I ever eat at this place again. I ended up at a hospital in Dhaka for food poisoning thanks to my ill-considered choice to eat this overpriced, poor quality, unhygienic food pre-flight. The only reason I gave it one star was that Google requires it to continue with a review.

Food was edible but not really good. We've had more tasty asian food almost anywhere else. I would not recommend this place.

If only, They had gotten my order right, Were able to give you a spoon for the soup (a teaspoon for soup works, but isn't ideal) And tried to take care of their customers, It would have been a better experience. The noodles were good. Rice or buckwheat in a bowl bathed in meat broth or vegetarian broth. Three veggies and then scallions, onions and cilantro. Food was good. The Dive Boroughs Dood Hall is still in process. The bar wasn't open, the taco truck and Greek places were.

This is the worst Mish mash Pan-Asian crap I've ever had. I'm at the airport so most options are crap anyway. But unfortunately​ for me, I wanted some Chinese American food. So I got the sweet and sour pork and fried rice with soba noodles salad. What a mistake. Everything was overcooked, and virtually tasteless. I paid $12 bucks to eat a plateful of a dish that was sometimes tough (the pork) sometimes mushy (the soba) and sometimes soggy (the rice) and at all times flavorless. I guess I didn't get sick yet. So thats prolly the silver lining. I hope that's the silver lining.

The only reason I gave this hole a star is because I wouldn't have been able to warn you to avoid it otherwise. I ate here a couple hours before a long flight. I ended up getting sick on the plane an hour into a 13 hour flight to Dubai, and it continued through a 6 hour layover into the 5 hour flight to Dhaka. I had to be taken to the hospital from the airport where I was admitted and treated for food poisoning. Stay away from this place at all costs.

A solid new airport takeout spot. This food establishment has many noodle soups such as tom yum and pho, and a variety of rice bowls as well. I elected to try the one vegetarian soup on the menu, the tom yum, and paid the $2.00 charge to get tofu as my "protein". The standard size for the soup is 16 ounces and costs about $11. The broth was well seasoned with a spicy flavor and included tons of tofu, bean sprouts, and variety of vegetables. The only downside was the noodle texture the noodles were a little tough and probably could have been cooked a little bit more prior to being paired with the soup. The staff was extremely friendly and quick which was very helpful as I was hungry and also had a flight to catch. One thing to keep in mind is that it is an airport establishment so to remain quick to order the noodles are already prepared and just added to the soup. The soup is ladled from a large container, and is mixed with the precooked items so it's prepared like a restaurant or eatery with a larger eating space would.

Everything came Out cold, my chicken curry was cold and the steamed broccoli felt like it just came out of the fridge. It was the worst chicken curry I've ever had in my life!!! They don't care because they think you'll never come back since it's an international airport.

I think I would have been better off drinking the dirty water that drips out of garbage bags. What a waste of money. For $7 you get a very small bowl of what they called "beef pho" - that noodle soup was in no way shape or form pho. No flavor, no spices, no heartiness. It was basically beef broth with a heavy dose of MSG. The noodles are wrong - they use clear glass noodles instead of rice noodles, and I found EDAMAME with the odd assortment of vegetables that don't belong anywhere near pho (cabbage?! cucumbers?!). I was expecting to get ripped off for a bottle of water at $3.50, but $7 for a shitty cup of noodles... Really now.

Gotta love VM & Matthew's fake, empty reviews of this JFK airport joint! You mean to tell me that Matthew has tried everything at Canal Street Noodle House (which by the way is total misrepresentation to the goodness really on Canal St.) in one setting or within 4 months to call it "awesome"? What a layover that must have been! "Best ramen noodles" VM?? They serve ramen outside of the airport and also other than the packaged variety (Top Ramen) ya know? I ordered the beef pho broth with their dried up chicken. I didn't get an option for noodles. They just gave me glass noodles. The veggies were a joke: chards of Napa cabbage, carrot, some soy beans and red bell pepper. Even if I had it with ramen noodles, it couldn't possibly be the best. Is red bell pepper in Asian noodle soup supposed to be cutting edge? No. Just no. My broth was okay like a can of Swanson's. I think I might have been better off with the disheveled turkey avocado sandwich on wheat after boarding the plane. The ladies here were moderately friendly like the McDonald's cashiers. I would not waste your $11 for a large noodle soup or try anything else here. Disappointment is awaiting you. Your plane will serve a more satisfying meal. Either that, or do yourself a favor and find something at the Irish joint next door. My bf made the better choice.

I am mortified after watching the server pinch a sliver of chicken pack in plastic and couple handful of badly chopped veggies into a style-foam cup. She topped it off with some lukewarm soup and glass noodles. " hello? That was my Ramen?!!" It tasted just like it looks. Rome airport has Aijisen, and we get this crap.

A seemingly interesting option, but don't be fooled. For 13$ I got water with some generic spice, 4 tasteless shrimps, and soggy vegetables. Lady working there rushed me and was very rude although no one was waiting behind me. Garbage experience, more so, garbage food. Don't bother.

The. Worst. Just paid $15 for "fried rice" and bok choy that was rotten and cold. I wanted only vegetables and was told I had to pay full price anyway (what they charge for the meat version). Sometimes that happens and while it is annoying, I get how sometimes staff isnt allowed to change things or know what to do, so I paid for it because I could see all sorts of vegetables available for other items that could have been added instead of meat. None were offered or allowed when I asked. I feel gross and cheated now. As others have said, buy some overpriced juice and Chex Mix, you will be much better off and save $8.

I don't like to leave bad reviews but if you're craving noodles/Asian fusion, this is not the place for you. Pork buns: usually a favorite of mine! Meat was dog-foodish in appearance and it tasted old and not like pork...maybe like dog food? Chicken buns: indistinguishable from the pork ones. Couldn't tell the difference. Soba noodles: tasted like what a pond smells like. Ramen noodles: these were OKish. Mainly cause there was no flavor. Service: Poor. Inattentive. I felt like I was inconveniencing them. Someone else wrote they might as well have lit their $ on fire and I have to agree. We ended up throwing everything away.

The staff here is so FUCKING rude and doesn't even know what she's selling. DON'T even bother going there. Save your money and time. Food is crappy anyway.

Visited this place as it was right across from my gate, and the dishes on offer sounded appealing. Granted, they were out of easily half the items on the menu, but I was tired and didn't feel like running all over the terminal looking for food. Boy, do I wish I had! I ended up with some very dry, tough noodles, limp bok choy, and disgustingly sweet and mushy pork. Most of the food was bordering on inedible, and after a few bites, I thew it in the trash, and schlepped all the way across the terminal to find something else. About 10 hours later I was puking and pooping all morning, and feeling weak and disgusting for the better part of 2 days. Just say no!

Rude and checked out staff. And they ran out off noodles by 4pm????? It's a NOODLE place, it doesn't get to run out of the ingredient in its name. Example. Asian Bowls. Choice 1: Chicken or Pork (out of pork). Choice 2: Fried Rice or Udon (out of udon). Choice 3: Bok Choi salad or Soba salad (out of bok choi).

I wish I could rate 0 stars. This was the most appalling excuse for a meal I have ever experienced. The ramen noodles taste like noodles with a mixture of hairspray and round up poison. The fried rice was cold. The sweet and sour pork was inedible. Oh - and this placed completely robbed us for charging $16 for actual trash. Avoid like the plague... DO NOT GO HERE. Hairspray!!!!!

I may as well have lit the $21 I spent on my girlfriend and I on fire. I was told that this "noodle shop" didn't have the udon noodles listed on its menu, nor did they have the bread for the banh mi (also listed on the menu). Instead, I ordered a pair of bowls with what wound up being overcooked (crunchy) and bland fried rice, which was also barely even warm. The chicken, at least, was warm. Calling it "green curry chicken" is pretty bold though, considering it was completely flavorless. There's a McDonald's around the corner from this place, and while I find McDonalds gross, I'd eat it over this junk in a heartbeat. Save your money and go anywhere else in the terminal. I don't give one star reviews often, but man what a waste.

It takes a lot for a place to deserve one star, but this one does. I was in Terminal 4 and the only options with substance were this and McDonalds. I like trying new things, so I decided to give this place a go. I wanted a bahn mi sandwich but I was informed they were out of bread. Ok. I decided to get a chicken and rice bowl instead. I picked out all the toppings and I thought they would package it up and I would be on my way. Nope. They microwaved the entire bowl for three minutes. That can't be good. I finally get my food and am hoping the bowl actually tastes good. The chicken is extremely dry (probably because it was just in the microwave) and not flavorful at all. The veggies were anything but fresh and also not flavorful. The rice was way overcooked. Even though I wouldn't be eating for a very long time, I didn't even finish the entire bowl which I never do. My advice: grab food from anywhere else in Terminal 4.

The worst Asian food I have ever, ever had. They have pho, which of course is a beef base - but they only have pork & chicken to add to it. The pho also had the "wrong" noodles; the clear rice noodles were flavorless and undercooked. I also tried the steamed gyoza. They dough felt like it was made a week ago. It was thick, leathered on the outside, again flavorless, and had a small lump of chicken in the middle. Absolutely horrifying. This is bad food and it's especially bad as compared to what it tried to be.

Sweet n'sour pork (w broccoli and rice) was perfect for a layover meal. It was a little messy, but worth it. Everything was nice and hot, pork was flavorful without being too fatty. No place to sit, so it's grab and go.

Both the food and the service here are amazingly bad. This is not even close to the real pho. The staff here is more unfriendly and unhelpful than you can imagine. Just try somewhere else.

Not very good. The noodles and tofu had the consistency of rubber. Would not eat here again. Also, rude service checking out while paying for this crap.

Gave us food poisoning before a 2 week vacation. Food was cold and undercooked. Do not eat here!

Food is just average. They charged me $19.09 for $13 rice bowl. When I asked for the receipt they ignored and called out for another customers. Terrible service. McDonald and Dunkin down the hall will be better choice.

Had low expectations since this is an Asian spot at an airport,but it was surprisingly awesome! Good Pho, Ramen, and Banh Mi! I rally hope this place stays in business! Great soup.

Rudest staff ever. Rolled their eyes at me and each other and mumbled as if to make me purposely confused. Charged me an extra $3 and I don't know why? Noodles sucked.

when traveling by plane, you find yourself tired and hungry. i would have never expected myself to be eating beef pho, a noodle soup with vegetables and pork, at 9:30 am. however, i needed to prepare for a 6-hour flight, and having no clue what type of food would be served by the airline. i can tell you, chosing the Noodle House at Jfk Terminal 4 was NOT a mistake! it was delicious and served it's purpose. i do not regret it. thank you!

If you enjoy luke warm broth and unhelpful service, this place is for you! Don't be deceived, their "Pho" tastes nothing like what you're used to at home. Don't waste your money

$28 could get you a great meal at a decent noodle place - but here it will only get you subpar food and truly terrible service. The person behind the counter was actively rude, and the soup was so bad I couldn't finish it. My husband and I both have a high tolerance for spicy food and eat it regularly, but this soup was so spicy it hurt to eat it. Even if the spiciness were under control, the soup is bland and laughably overpriced. Stay away from this place, it's truly terrible!

Limited selection available (of the three types of steamed buns on the menu, only one is available). The $5 Asian salad side is absurd -- it's a tiny container of chopped romaine, with dressing options of ranch, balsamic and honey mustard -- both astronomically priced and also not Asian? Would not recommend this place.

10/10 would not recommend.. also ramen noodles smell like nail polish remover so there's that

Terrible service. The guy working behind the counter told me he was out of all toppings except for cabbage, but when I got up to the counter to pick up my order, I could clearly see a bunch of vegetables, including carrots in the fridge in the back. He straight up just lied to me.

Nastiest pork pot stickers I've ever had in my life. It tasted as if I were eating my own throw up. It smells really funky too. Doesn't even look like real pork it looks like frozen pork or something you would get from the grocery store in the frozen food section. I couldn't even swallow the bite I took and I'm glad I didn't because I'm sure I would've had diarrhea for days. Total waste of money and so over priced to begin with.

This is probably the worst airport food I've ever had!!!! And so expensive! I ordered a box of noodles with veggies and chicken and the box contained three separate containers- literally the noodles were placed in one, the veggies in another, and the chicken in another! And it was hard to mix the three because of the different containers. The noodles were tasteless and the chicken and veggies were honestly unimpressive. Stray away from this place!!!! Walk to another terminal and get something else before flying off! You don't wanna take off with a bad taste (literally)

Best ramen noodles I have ever had. They even have vegetarian tom yum soup option and it tastes goooooooood!

I usually don't write review but this place, oh boy, I have to write a remark so that this place can improve or at least to listen to customers' complaints. First of all, the staffs who work here are rude! No attitudes at all. Crystal who got my order forgot my side order, steamed bun. Before I took off, I asked her if she put my side order in the to go box. She said "yes", and when I opened the Togo box, there was no steamed bun. So, I went to her again to get that missing bun. First thing she said was to bring that to go box to check if that bun is really missing! She did not apologize for her mistakes nor giving me a bun ,instead asking customer to bring a Togo box to suspect it! What a wonderful customer oriented service she has! Crystal, if you are still working there, it would be better to educate and train yourself a better customer service and learn to get an order correctly, not messing up an order! Secondly, the food that I got anyways tasted bland and I wasted my good morning times and money here.

Dear god this is gross. So incredibly bland and tasteless. Save your money and eat literally anything else. I'm pissed! On my flight now and stuck with the grossest noodles I've ever had in my life. How is this place still in business??

They didn't have udon or miso soup so I ordered their pork gyoza, which was basically just three dumplings. It wasn't crispy and didn't even come with any sauce.

This food is literally laughable. I know I'm at the airport but even for airport standards this is horrible. Hopefully you check yelp before you come here.

We tried pho and Tom yum noodle soup since fried food we can see from the display was not looking fresh or well presented.. First of all, they have a false advertisement of an Asian man making noodle outside. The noodle soup we got in soup looked me mung bean noodle, not even rice noodle. soup tastes nothing like pho nor tom yum soup... I understand bad quality overpriced food in airports but I do not recommend this to anyone.

Noodles served so cold that you later realize that u have been tricked by their presentation. taste wise it tasted like it was prepared 2 days ago and kept in refrigerator. Skip this place if you can.

I wish there were a zero star option. This place is even worse than the previous reviews made it sound. I ordered the vegetable gyoza, based on the scary reports of the meat. Well, the wrappers were so thick, you could barely find a teaspoon of filling (and by the way, half the wrapper was still raw flour/water, kind if icky). The filling, if it could be charitably called that, was perhaps not even vegetable. It had almost no flavor/taste and I couldn't begin to say what the vegetables might have been. It is too bad because Terminal 4 is a food desert and it would be nice to have a decent noodle option. Better off to have nothing than the stuff they are serving as food.

The staff at the noodle shop (there are two locations) in terminal 4 behind the apothecary bar are so mean. Stay clear if you would prefer common decency and eye contact. The woman wouldn't even look or respond to me when I asked where to order. Happy holidays.

Cold food, stodgy cement-like gyoza, indifferent service. Avoid this place. Even by airport (this is at JFK Terminal 4) standards it is terrible.

This place is by far the worst airport restaurant. We ordered two small noodle soups and the portions were extremely small (around 3 bites). Also, the containers seemed to be leaking, and it made a mess. On top of that, they offered no tables, which was pretty inconvenient especially when eating hot soup in leaky containers...

Definitely recommend skipping this place! I ordered the Tom Yum ramen with chicken. The broth wasn't bad, I expected mediocre since you're in an airport. Bit heavy on the coconut but who doesn't love coconut? The main problem here is the chicken. It was inedible! It had no flavor and was so dry, I ended up eating the noodles and veggies, having some broth and throwing out the rest. It's rare that I honestly can't finish something I've ordered but this was just so bad. This place is one of few in that wing of the airport but make the haul somewhere else or get a pastry or sandwich at peets next door instead!

ate here once before, 2 stars. came today, the lady was a total bitch and halfway into ordering I said forget this place
