Drunken Noodle

Came here for dinner on a Friday night as a group of two and we were able to get a table right away after putting our order in, but the place picked up a bit not long after. We got the Shrimp Tempura, Pork Belly Ramen, and Pad Thai with Fried Chicken. The Shrimp Tempura came first and were very hot and fresh, and they tasted fantastic. Then, our main meals came. The Pad Thai was also great, but I'm going to swap the fries chicken for shrimp next time. My wife really liked her Ramen, but didn't care for the Pork Belly. There was a fried breading on it which was so crispy and solid that it was actually hard to chew. Overall, we really enjoyed our meals, and it was a fun atmosphere that we'd also love to bring others to. We'll be back!

I don’t like to leave a bad review because when I first tried this place years ago it was much different than what it is now. The ramen use to have much more broth and the noodles were never stuck together or clumpy. My family ordered from here last night because this is what I wanted for my birthday dinner and I was very disappointed. In 3 of the 4 ramens there were huge chunks of clumped together, doughy noodles that were not edible. There was hardly any broth and it was just super thick at the bottom. When I called to explain the noodles to the guy on the phone he was rude and tried blaming the clumpy noodles on if we took too long to pick it up. We got there to pick it up within 15 min when he said it would be ready so that wasn’t the case. I have gotten take out here many times and it just isn’t the same anymore. We offered to send a picture of the noodles and the guy on the phone quickly said no and refunded us for 2 of the ramens. I hope they fix these issues because I’d like to continue to get ramen here.

We were driving back to Winnipeg from Minneapolis and needed a quick, warm meal. I searched "ramen Fargo" and found Drunken Noodles. It was a great choice! We were a group of 11, and despite the size of our party, the service was incredibly fast—our food arrived in under 10 minutes. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. If you're in Fargo and looking for a warm, satisfying bite, this place is a must-visit!

I was hesitant at first to try this place but my friend gloated about it for a week straight and I caved in. To my friend, THANK YOU TO MY FRIEND!! This. Place. Is. BOMB!! The food is FIRE!! The Drunken Noodle itself is by far one of the best I’ve ever had! It’s so tasty with the right amount of heat!! The Thai Tea’s are also very pleasant! Other notable dishes are the Shoyu Ramen and Garlic Shroom Bowl! This eatery looks small upon entering but they also have a roof top deck! Service is always good with food served quickly! This place is easily one of my new favs to frequent! Would recommend!!

The place is so nice! And people are very kind! Loved it and the noodles were warm and tender! 😋 If you are visiting Fargo I definitely recommend!

We ate here on a whim as we didn't have much time before a show at the theater & most places were packed. They had most tables full in the restaurant but our orders came out very quickly! I ordered the pad Thai with shrimp and he got the Mac and cheese with crispy chicken. Both were very good & large portions!

Food is always great. They make it right in front of you so you know it is always fresh. The service is always friendly and quick. They keep the restaurant extremely clean and very well organized. It is a very laid back and fun atmosphere, they even let you write on the boothes and walls. It is always fun to read everyone's stuff they have written. They make an excellent Mac & Cheese that even comes with a bread stick now.

Food was amazing! They have a great variety to choose from! If I ever come visit again, I would definitely try other dishes from here. The shu mai was a great hit! The pasta was weirdly amazing. Great flavors. The tonkatsu ramen was so creamy and delicious. A lot of flavors in the broth. The rice bowl was phenomenal! Highly recommend, gargling shu mai s as the appetizer!

Outstanding pork belly ramen I travel in Asia a fair amount and this place can easily compete. Tasty pork belly, incredible broth, fast service and friendly staff.

I have eaten here before and I enjoy the food. I had the basil beef on my most recent visit. Its a nice dish, with lots of beef as well as a boiled egg as a garnish. It's not marked "spicy" on the menu board, but I found it a little too hot for me. The sauce has pretty much soaked into all the rice, so I couldn't use the rice to cool my mouth. I would eat here again, but next time, I will tell the staff to make the dish mild.

Good selection of different soups and ramen! Came in clutch for a good Halloween weekend!

The food here was good but honestly I expected a little more. The beef suki I had was a bit dry and didn't have much flavor, I had to add a bunch of soy and sriracha, otherwise it's basically plain beef and white rice with some onions and a little bit of sauce at the bottom. Good, but could be better!

The food is okay not the best. The walls are so dirty!!! I wish there were more booths. No one is serving you your basically on your own. Idk if I'd go back. It's iffy.

This is one of our very favorite places! The Drunken Noodle with chicken never disappoints, and my Husband always gets the Beef Suki. Extremely fast, and everyone who works there has been so friendly.

Very delicious paired with excellent service. Had the fried rice with chicken, the pork belly ramen and fried gyoza. Everything was cooked perfectly.

Hit the spot for Pho. Piping hot, great broth, generous portion of steak. Service was outstanding. Very attentive.

This food was so good! The Drunken Noodle was just spicy enough to be enjoyable without being overpowering. The plate was large enough that I brought half home for leftovers!

Absolutely love this food go to my Snapchat to see the full review video took my girlfriend out to eat here we are having delicious food a couple of bells two hearted ale of course they have the most delicious American IPA available make sure that you come over and order some delicious food and let them know that Rayelle from the Bison Plains Lodge sent you over

Best noodles in Fargo! The Pad Thai is our favorite and a must stop when in Fargo. Excellent service and food comes out within 10 minutes.

It makes me sick, I've seen their back area, and the inside of the kitchen is so dirty, the pipes are black with goop all over, the floor is filthy, the people are nice, but the food is a 3/5, they need to to a whole restaurant clean up, sticky tables and oily floors

The service is easy and relatively quick but the food was beyond awesome! I had the Cajun noodles and they were just wonderful. Recommend this place without hesitation!

Amaaaazing! Love the way the chicken is fried. Red bean mochi was delicious, as was the shoyu and Drunk Noodles.They cook fast.

First time here and was try asking about the food and the person behind the counter rudely kept interrupting me. It left a bad taste in my mouth and now I am not hungry:...

The presentation of the store was pretty decent. The workers at this location are friendly and welcome conversation. The food however, was ok. I wasn't upset at the quality of the food, I was upset at the expectation that was made. Everyone hypes it up and recommends and I don't disagree but I just feel like I could've got something better for my money. The beef was kinda dry tho. 4/5 because I wasn't throwing up afterwards

SO the ramen is AMAZING!!! We got the Tonkatsu Drunken Noodles and it was so flavorful. My problem isn't with the food but with some of the rude staff. The lady that was ringing up our food was EXTREMELY rude for absolutely no reason and just tainted our experience. It was my first time in Fargo and a friend of mine told me about this place. Instead of maybe asking us if we had ever been there or needed help, we were given smirks and just this disgusting look, for again no reason. I would have definitely given a 5 star rating but the rude staff lost some stars.

Ok, so we went here and got some take-away. We'd ordered ahead of time so it was very easy and simple for pickup (we're still not going to be in crowds until that vaccination rate hits 70%+). We got the Drunken Noodle, Yakisoba, and Mac & Cheese (Gotta keep the 3-year-old happy, right?). When we got home everything was still hot and ready to go. They gave us everything we'd need, so we just laid it all out on the table and went to town on it all. WOW. For a place that does noodles you have to know what you're doing, and THEY DO! Everything was delicious! The Drunken Noodle was the best, but I'd happily eat any of their dishes. Plus side to me was that the Drunken Noodle actually had a bit of spice to it, which I wasn't expecting from a place in downtown Fargo (I apologize to y'all, everyone told me that nobody in the midwest could handle heat). I'm looking forward to coming here again soon, thinking of getting the fettuccini this time too...

The vegetable ramen is soooooo good. I added an egg and it was amazing. Coming back again for sure. I just wish they had more seating in there

The Basil Chicken is absolutely amazing! Very spicy (which is good) and the flavor is ...yummm. The only problem with this place is that they are closed from 2-4pm?? Since I don't live in the area, these hours have impacted my ability to order Which I want every time I'm in town

The service was friendly. The food was fresh and hot. The bathroom was a bit dirty but all in all a great meal.

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.

Shared space with Slurp Ramen. I ordered a water and asked the cashier where I get it because he didn't hand me anything. He pointed me to the side of the counters where there was already filled cups of ice. I didn't see where water was so asked him again and he pointed to a pitcher and seemed annoyed. How was I supposed to know it was there on the workers space, especially never being there before. The chunky strings of beef were gross. The noodles tasted plain and had little flavor. The dish also had very few carrots and broccoli that were in it. Maybe 4 pieces of each. Really?? For $13 what a waste. First time and not returning or recommending to people.

Your decent local noodle place, conveniently in downtown. They do sort of pan-Asian food, plus some midwestern staples like Mac & cheese. My go-to is the pad thai or drunken noodles. Not a ton of seating, so it's best suited for a nighttime (or workplace lunchtime) takeout craving.

More noodles to canoodle. Classic plates, phò, pastas and more. Right next to Slurp and Wasabi.

Yes. Finally a place in the great north that has a beef broth to suffice a delicious pho. Ate here yesterday and I'm still in a fog of ecstasy over the perfection this place is and I hope will continue to be. Reasonably priced and delicious means I will be a local for sure. It's such a comfort. FYI it's next to a sushi and cool coffee place. And across the street is a Pokémon Gym, if that's your thing, that can be reached from the front booth so that's another layer of this metaphorical amaze-balls cake. Can't wait to try the other noodle-ly options, like soba or pad Thai. There's also a Mac and cheese for the pickiest of eaters, so while you can explore the worldly tastes and they stick to an American favorite. If you don't try this place you should be lock up in a insane asylum for being crazy!

Nice greasy downtown atmosphere. I came up to Fargo with some buds and we decided to try a new place. I had the drunken noodles since that is what the restraint is called so that's logical. They were very tasty. The only thing is they didn't seem to fill me up so I had a bowl of ramen too. Service was good.

They have a nice selection of noodles. Big plus is that this place is open late nights so can have it anytime specially over the weekend. Probably one of the places where you can actually eat after a night out. Good price for what you get.

Usually I am all over Asian/noodles. I had the Pad Thai with chicken. The chicken was processed chicken nugget like, not a real chicken breast. Sauce on the Pad Thai was sweet and ketchup like. No cilantro garnish. Maybe they have better dishes but the Pad Thai really was not good. Very amateurish.

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.

New menu - New chef at Drunken Noodle since this new year. Much much better even basic dishes like Pad Thai. Let's try. Recommended dishes for whom loving spicy are Spicy Pork Belly & Dirty Rice.

Last two times I have been in the guy working the till has been rude and inconsiderate. It's almost like I'm inconveniencing his work day by requiring him to do his job. Food is never out in a timely manor, warm but never hot.

#1 favorite noodle spot. I've been eating here for years and have never been disappointed. The food and service is always 5 stars.

They have a limited late night menu- that has incredible noodle dishes on it! Massive serving of mac n cheese! Very yummy!

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).

The smell once I walked into the building was just horrible. I couldn't bring myself to even ordering or even sit down.

Ordered the spicy crispy pork belly. It was like 80% rice. For $12 I expected more pork, and less rice.

The Thai curry rice bowl was good. It's hard to screw up red curry paste and coconut milk. The food was a solid 3.5 stars. However, the shop is filthy. I am not a finicky person but the dirt was upsetting. There was what looked like hair under service counter. The walls are splattered with stains of various colors. Everything was sticky. The toilet tank in the ladies was covered in...blood? vomit? I won't go back. If problems in the front of the house can be solved with a bucket and a mop, but haven't been, I can only imagine what the kitchens look like.

I love their options - but usually opt for a pad thai. Quick and tasty. Nothing spectacular about the atmosphere or service... but great for the price.

I went here on a friend's recommendation. The food was bland. Underseasoned and under-sauced, the entrees left us feeling underwhelmed. The inside made it seem like they were going for the urban minimalist look, which is great, but that still means you need to be clean. The floors and tables were dirty, and not just a little dirty. Like quite a few other reviewers have mentioned, you'll find better noodles at the chain, Noodles and Co. Also, the entire time we were there, the phone was ringing off the hook. The lobby was empty, except for us, but even being not busy, I guess they weren't interested in filling take-out orders. I won't be giving this place another go, unfortunately, and I can't recommend it.

I wasn't a fan of the restaurant. It didn't seem to me like they knew exactly what they were doing. The Alfredo (me being safe) tasted stale and way too peppery. The grilled chicken tasted and felt and looked fake. The chicken looked like it came from the Tyson factory. It was the best part of the dish, though. The Pad Thai's noodles were undercooked & the only thing to make the dish taste better was the sriracha. The Pepsi was the star of the show. Good job on Pepsi.

Pretty good food. Open late on Saturdays which I liked. Quite a few people there considering the late hour. I'd go back for sure!

Highly recommend asking for Karaage Chicken app with a side of jasmine rice and vegetables. This is what I usually order when home in Seattle. Drunken Noodle doesn't have this on their menu but they accommodated my request at a reasonable price. Great staff and good food!

The Crispy Pork Belly Ramen is the best I've had in a long time. Sushi choices are solid fusion fare. Very happy with my visit, will definitely be back!

I love going to drunken noodle, definitely my favorite restaurant downtown, I do like that they're splitting up the restaurant into three separate ones and will definitely have to check them all, especially Slurp Ramen!

The drunken noodle downtown has by far the best pad Thai I've had in Fargo. They're quick and friendly and the food is always delicious. A little on the spending side but sooooooo worth it!

I was waiting all night long to get my food. And they didn't ever give me anything. This is the worst customer service I've ever experienced in my life. I hope that they learn from this.I will never eat here again. don't ever eat here. I was waiting for 50 minutes plus I didn't get anything. Don't ever comment to this establishment ever. They will rip you off and not give you any food.

A go to meal for our whole family. Noodles or rice so everyone is happy. Food is always amazing and employees are pretty friendly when picking up our take out order.

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.

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.
