Mecha Noodle Bar

Mecha Noodle Bar is a great new addition to the Fishtown area. From start to finish, the service was excellent- the staff was attentive, constantly checking in, and keeping water refills coming. The space itself is clean, bright, and welcoming, with a lively bar area that added to the overall atmosphere. The food came out incredibly fast and everything we ordered was delicious. We tried a few appetizers, including the spicy tuna roll and red oil dumplings, and also had ramen, all of which were solid. The drinks were good as well, and the happy hour is definitely worth checking out. Overall, a great experience and a spot I’d happily come back to and recommend.

Our waitperson, Jess, was great. She made a really good recommendation as to appetisers (the wings), and paid us enough attention that our needs were met, but not so much that we were overstimulated. The rest of the team were pretty great, too; and the food was good. The one thing I would caution people is that the curry laksa is delicious, but it lacks the funk of fermented shrimp entrails that the laksa back in Old Country has. I will say that it probably will be just as good vegan as it was with the chicken. I would come back here again.

We started with the Crispy Soft Shell Crab bao and the Spicy Salmon hand roll—both super fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. For mains, The Pho King had a rich, deep broth that warmed my soul, while the Spicy Miso 2.0 ramen delivered just the right kick. We ended on a sweet note with the Ube Banana Pudding, which was absolutely perfect. Shoutout to Maggie, our amazing server, for being so welcoming and giving us the best recommendations. Can’t wait to come back!

The restaurant we were going to go to didn't have any tables without reservations so we decided to go to Mecha Noodle Bar on the corner. My daughter said it just recently opened and I was more than happy to try something different. Everything was excellent, the drinks, my daughter had a non alcoholic matcha drink and I had a Vietnamese iced coffee. Excellent. We had some of everything, as you can see in the pictures. My favorite was the KFC bao bun. Service was great, I really enjoyed so many new and different flavors and things.

This place was really good. Had an amazing waitress. She was attentive and on top of things, explained everything to any questions we had. If you come here ask for Magie!! Back to my visit. Came here with a Coworker. Ordered like 6 apps and 2 entrees. Definitely will come back they were hitting the spot. Didn’t really take pictures was living in the moment.

Our favorite spot in the area! The food is comforting and delicious and the staff are awesome. We had Rob and he made sure we were taken care of and was super professional. Their Ube banana pudding has been on my mind for days leading up to my birthday there!

We had an incredible meal here tonight. Our server Sherwood was attentive and coursed our food out beautiful. The soft crab bao buns were a standout as well as the red oil dumplings. We also loved the Marsa noodles from the Shareables. Definitely stop in for a bite !

My first time at mecha! It was amazing! Food was delicious, drink was so good and service was A++++! Had my bday party and it was 16 total. Our server was so patient with us and super friendly. He was amazing! I wish I can remember his name. Staff were super nice I highly recommend! 10/10

Food was good, service was so/so. Never received waters after we asked for them, never received utensils after we asked for them (for our kids who can't use chop sticks), was charged full price for happy hour items, we were issued a refund however still got charged the tip from the first transaction which was much higher?

Great neighborhood spot -- finally tried it and loved it! We've walked past Mecha Noodle Bar a million times and finally stopped in -- and honestly, it was so good. We sat at the bar and had an awesome server who made the whole experience even better. We started with the Smashburger bao bun and the poutine, and both were killer. I got the pho, my husband ordered the curry laksa ramen, and everything came out super flavorful, hot, and perfectly done. No misses. The vibe is great too -- fun, lively, and just a solid place to hang out for a casual night out. Definitely glad this spot is right down the street. We'll be back!

I was craving ramen, as I do when it gets cold o it, and I called up a friend who recommend we try out Mecha. I looked over their menu and I was so excited, and we reserved a table immediately. Upon entering, the lights were low and warm, seating was booths and barstools, and there weren't too many people inside. Our waiter greeted us and took us to our table which was booth and a low stool. My friend and I split a few items and got our own ramen bowls (not pictured). We both enjoyed the Kimchi Fried Rice and loved the runny egg. There was so much that we had to take some home. The B.Y.O.B. Was recommended to us as their play on a charcuterie board. I absolutely love the concept of this, but I felt underwhelmed by it. We also did not have a utensil to get the sauce onto our bread pieces so we had to open another pair of chopsticks to remedy this. My friend got the Spicy Miso 2.0 and I got the Shoyu Paitan. It was pretty clear halfway through our meal that our waiter forgot to put in the order and fixed that immediately. It worked out since the tables are small and we were not done with our munchies. I was pretty underwhelmed by my ramen even adding additional spices and sauces. At the end of the meal I asked about the happy endings, which is listed on the website and the waiter did not know what I was talking about. It sounded like I was asking for happy endings which was a noooo from me. I looked again to make sure and it is there, looks like desserts and night caps. By the time we left, there were a ton of people enjoying their food around us. I stood up from the stool I had been sitting on and my legs had fallen asleep from how low the stool was and how long I had been sitting there. Overall, I enjoyed my experience but there some hiccups. I am definitely planning on returning for happy hour and sitting at the bar. I will update this review when I do so. Thanks for having us!

Came here from a TikTok so was super excited to try this place out. Overall the ambiance of the restaurant is super aesthetic with open seating and a lot of space. Their menu has a lot of selections but for the price we opted to try the smaller dishes. The poutine fries were the best - never thought to think to put japanese curry over fries. We ordered two lol. Runner up would be the KFC bao bun as well as the crispy pork belly. I wasn't too impressed with the chicken wings as they were on the dryer side. Their happy hour prices are super reasonable. From 4-6 we were able to buy sale bombs for $3 which is crazy! I definitely think this place is more vibey to come to at night but worth checking out for sure.

My friend and I showed up at 430 on a Thursday and easily got a seat at the bar for happy hour. I loved the interior decor of the space, beautiful high ceilings and nice roomy layout. Service was friendly, and the food came out quickly and was great. I enjoyed the caesar salad, nice umami with the miso dressing. I really enjoyed the mushroom dumplings with the arugula as well. The poutine was good, reminded me of traditional Japanese curry. The curry was served over crinkle fries, and it was a nice texture and the potatoes reminded me of how Japanese curry should taste, but with the nice touch of the cheese curds. The sake was great as well. The last one of the flight is really nice and refreshing. I really look forward to returning with my husband for a visit. My friend also got the beef bone broth which he said was really good. I'm looking forward to trying some noods next time.

I was super excited to go here, but I was so disappointed. The server was training someone and maybe she was distracted. The main reason I was super excited to go here was for the alcoholic boba, but for some reason they gave me boba without alcohol. I got the mango lassi and sadly, it was just OK. It did have too much boba - it was a huge mouthful whenever I had a sip. Our drinks were also sitting by the bar ready for a long time. We shared the mushroom dumplings and they were VERY good. No complaints there. I got the vegan ramen with egg and corn. It was...so salty it was difficult to eat. And it's sad because that's the only vegetarian soup on the menu. The ambiance is very pretty and it might be nice to come for a happy hour.

We went here on a Friday without reservations! It was crowded (but they managed it well!), there was a small wait but nothing crazy. There is a ton of space and we were seated at the bar and helped right away. Their beer list is small, and they don't have wine, but do have LOTS of sake and fun cocktails, and bubble tea. We didn't order fun drinks but those definitely looked delicious, but a little slow to come out (behind the bar is tiny and they were hustling.) Our crab Rangoon came out quick and it was really really fresh. The wait for our Bao buns, hand rolls, and pho took a little longer, but again, this was a Friday night on week 2 of being open. The food itself was great especially for the price. The ribeye on the pho was a little bland but it wouldn't stop me from getting it again. Will certainly be back!

Visiting Philly for a bit and Maggie made it special Food is fantastic and the music is the best ! Overall everything was worth the good price !

We went on a Saturday afternoon and sat at the bar. Both of us got the spicy miso ramen which we really enjoyed, flavor was great and it had the perfect amount of spice, and lots of pork. Service was quick and friendly. Excited to come back and try more!

Ambiance was very cool. Bar area looked nice. We sat in the dining room. Service was great. Very attentive. Food came out quickly. Ramen was mediocre.

Don't know what I expected from this place, but I'm not feeling it. Atmosphere was odd, design is very corporate and bright, does not feel like a ramen joint at all. Concept was definitely drafted with the family crowd in mind. Food was extremely mid, super salty with not much substance. My advice: Hop on the El and get something more authentic in Chinatown instead.

So good! The meat was super , broth well seasoned, Shrimp was to die for, the banana pudding was faint worthy, the bubble tea was Top Tier, and I will be headed back for more!

Loved this place will be back! Just very high sodium broth, so salty. As well as high concentrated teas, had to add water. Maybe it was just the batches I got but overall really good!
