Noods

Noods, Finally! I’ve been waiting for Noods on Abbot Kinney to open for so long and Finally here we go. 🍝 I tried the Garlic Chilli with Chicken and yellow noodles Texture🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟: the noodles are soft yet bouncy, juicy but not slimy. The chicken(it was a lot a lot a lot of chicken) is so tender, perfectly grilled. Flavor 🌟🌟🌟🌟: overall the sauce is balanced, for the first half… the first few bite are WOW. Though personally it was a little too sweet and in order to balance it out, they added too much soy sauce instead of chilli, it turned out to be too salty and not spicy at all. The first half was fine but at the end it was a little overwhelming 🥲 Presentation 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟: super cool seen through cup noodles presentation 🌸 it’s on Abbot Kinney so it’s definitely a good choice to stop by when you’re hungry and craving for noodles. Perfect for summer!

Wow wow wow!!! From the minute you step in, you can smell the amazing food. Noods was definitely worth the wait!!! I got the Mexicana Bowl but made it my own style. And words can’t describe how delicious it was. It was so good I ate it twice within the same week. The staff is incredibly nice as well. There’s also tables outside where you can eat.

Highly recommend NOODS! Third time here and they never dissapoint! Excelllent service,Very friendly and went above and beyond to make sure I felt taken care of. And always playing a great variety of music.🎶

I’m so glad I discovered this new restaurant in Venice! I was just walking by when the incredible smell pulled me in—I couldn’t resist. And wow, I’m glad I didn’t! The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor, and totally exceeded my expectations. I ordered the garlic noodles and added jalapeños for a nice kick—highly recommend if you like a little spice. The flavor was unreal! The staff was super kind and accommodating. Since they’re still new, you could tell they were learning a few things along the way, but the manager was right there, guiding the team and making sure everything ran smoothly. You could really feel the care. I ended up bringing my whole family back to try it, and they were shocked at how good everything was. We’ll all definitely be returning—not just for the amazing flavor, but also for the unique style of noodles that truly knocks your socks off!

This noodle spot is right in the heart of Abbot Kinney and one of the few places on the block serving up fresh Asian noodles. There’s no indoor seating — just four small outdoor tables with two seats each — so it’s more of a grab-and-go situation. One thing to note: because they make everything fresh, the wait can be over 15 minutes, so it’s not ideal if you’re in a rush. I got the chili garlic noodles and they were bomb. Skip adding the avocado though — you’ll only get about four slices, and it’s not really worth the extra cost. Down to go back and try the other options!

The most delicious noodles I’ve ever had! The staff was so friendly and good customer service. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place

Came with my fam, we had an amazing time! Food was very good and fresh and the place was packed! Kids enjoyed the plain noodles and beef, we had the Mexicana. Definitely coming back!

The staff is super accommodating and friendly. As for the atmosphere, it's well kept, clean, and so cute. Unfortunately, the noodles were a bit oily, but that's pretty typical for traditional American Chinese food. Not my favorite spot, but would come back for a quick bite to eat.

really tasty noodles! Love this place. Great for delivery too. Easy, quick, and filling

Love the pick your own topping selection. Will say they were very difficult to mix in the serving bowl, I wish I had a bigger bowl to dump it into or that they mixed it and then put it in the bowl. It was yummy, but pricy for what it was, tho gotta contextualize for location. Not much seating, we waited and grabbed a spot outside

Funny thing--I never actually look forward to takeout. Too many things can go wrong: Food gets cold Food gets soggy The takeout bag rips A homeless person snatches it My pets treat it like a buffet But NOODS? NOODS made takeout fun again. Their takeout "Noods Box" looked like the Tiffany's of food packaging--a total scene-stealer and perfect for a TikTok unboxing. I ordered the ever-popular Garlic Chili Noods (2 with chicken, 1 with beef) for me and my two boys. The Thai Bomb (with chicken) went to the wife. And for my famously picky daughter, a build-your-own soba with seared ahi tuna. The verdict? The garlic chili noods were a smash hit with the guys. Perfect portions, bold flavor--I usually hesitate with new garlic noodle spots, but NOODS delivered. I've officially found my new go-to. The Thai Bomb was another winner. If you're into green curry, this is your jam. The only complaint from my wife? Too much for her tiny stomach--she took the leftovers to work the next day, and yep, the flavor held. As for my daughter? She liked it enough to stretch it over two days. The real win? She asked when we could go again. If you know kids, you know that's everything. I also got to chat with Tommy, the owner--super cool guy and a long-time food truck vet. NOODS has only been here a few months, but it's already filling a serious gap in the neighborhood. Don't get me wrong--Abbot Kinney is fun and all, but the food variety at that $17-$20 range? Sparse. Glad you're here, NOODS. Looking forward to becoming a regular.

Was excited to try the noodles here and in the end was very disappointed :( The birria noodles did not taste anything like birria, but of course we are not at a Mexican restaurant, but it had a very odd flavor and we were not able to finish the meal We also tried the curry Thai & it had great flavor! The meat was dry and tough. It's a beautiful presentation & sounds amazing, but I feel like it can be better! The noodles itself weren't bad, but I think they should have an option of plain noodles. Their noodles are mixed with other veggies & it does give the noodles an odd flavor. Not sure what sauce they use separately for the noodles There's limited seating outside. The service was fast and we were able to watch them make our noodles. The staff were kind! Just not my cup of tea!

I got their noodle salad which was gluten free and peanut flavored! It was a great dish to go. Did not disappoint!

I got the Birria/Ramen/Hot Beef bowl yesterday, 6/5/25. Everything was fine until about two hours later when I got a rumble in my tummy. I thought it no big deal. Well, it turned into a very big deal. I almost called for an ambulance about 3 hours into my position over the toilet. Cold sweats, extreme pain, chills, all of it was over once the food left my system. And leave my system it did... so much. It's very unfortunate, because this place doesn't taste so bad and is affordable and walkable. I just cannot ever trust them again. Absolutely was poisoned. Fwiw, I get whole habaneros on my taco stand burritos. Spice is not an issue for my stomach. This was absolutely something else.

The food photos looked unreal and the store smelled so good I had to come try out Noods. The store is fast casual where you go to the front to place your order. There is no indoor seating and handful of small tables outside with very uncomfortable seats so I think it's better to order the food to go to be more comfortable. I ordered the Mexicana and my husband ordered a custom beef, ramen noodle, chili garlic base, cilantro, red onion, and scallions. I have to say I was let down by my noodles. They were not as saucy as I would have liked and the Birria base was more of a thick paste that clumped around the noodles. The toppings are not mixed in and since the cup is filled to the top it's hard to mix and might have been better if it was transferred to a larger bowl. The toppings tasted fine, I think my biggest issue is the base did not live up to my expectations. My husband really liked his bowl so perhaps it's best to pick a custom option you prefer. Next time I think I would try their glass noodles and a different base since the Birria one didn't deliver the saucy taste I wanted.

We had a good Noods experience! My friends and I ordered every dish on the menu, and I got the Thai bomb. The flavors were very good but maybe a little bit lacking in spice and a more well rounded flavor. Everyone enjoyed their dishes a lot though and there were no complaints on any of the different ones. We would recommend the Mexicana or the Soba breeze, but all of them are so yummy! The limonana is a must, super minty and yummy! The service was also quite good and our massive order didn't even take that long. Also the portions are HUGE so maybe share with a friend (or order with glass noodles for a lighter meal). Also gluten free accommodating but with cross contamination. One thing I would say is that the outdoor seating is nice but there's so much empty space inside where they could do some more seating. We didn't eat there but we sat outside as we waited. Thanks Noods!

Very uninspiring. Whoever took those pictures was a savant. Good pictures =\= good taste

We were walking by and admittedly the smell coming outta the door convinced us to order, it was so yummy. That, and we were hungry. So what it was 4pm?! We split an order of Chili Noods with chicken and a Limonana (which tastes like a Mohito slushy sans the booze-YUMMY). Filipinos would call this noodle dish Pancit but this is way better than the Pancit Mom or any Auntie ever made (keep that on the down low, will ya?) Ironically served to the brim in a plastic cup. Maybe as part of the masquerade of street food made restaurant quality? So be really careful mixing it up before eating or your pants will pay the stain price. The service is excellent and cheerful. The only downers are the napkins. They're small, thin and you'll need a copious quantity. We'll be back for more noodles--and napkins.

The food is delicious! I had the CHILI NOODS and would highly recommend to anyone. Imagine the Chow Mein from Panda, BUT actually good and full of flavor and fresh ingredients. I accompanied the dish with their LIMONANA which was very good and refreshing. The way I would describe it is a fresh mint lemonade slushy. Paired well with the noodles! Can't wait to be back and try the other 3 dishes !!!

Had the best Asian styles noodles over here. Flavorfull, fresh ingredients and great location! Recommend 100%!!

This place smelled so good, we had to try, ambiance is nice they have outside seating, service was great and the food was amazing, favorite dish so far was their cauliflower dish, this a must try.

The noods are the best! We have tried them all and the flavor combinations are terrific!

The service was super slow it felt like it took forever to get one order of noodles. The noodles themselves I thought were good, but absolutely not worth the wait. Plus they really messed up my stomach and I was bound to the toilet in pain not long after.

Absolutely amazing. Food is fresh and the flavor is on point. Service was friendly and the vibe is perfect. Ordered the Chili Garlic and the Mexicana, will be back for more!

I work just around the corner and Noods has quickly become my go-to spot for lunch and after-work cravings. The food is consistently amazing, but the Thai Bomb is on another level -- packed with flavor, just the right amount of heat, and super satisfying every single time. The staff is friendly, the vibe is chill, and the quality is always on point. So lucky to have this place nearby!

Delish! Definitely worth coming here. My mom and I ordered the garlic chili noods and were quite impressed... most definitely coming back for more!

Really yummy noodles and loved that they had gluten free options. My kids loved it! It was perfectly seasoned.

The food here is amazing, the concept is great, and there's a lot of love put into it. I tried the curry noodles Thai style, and they were delicious. I can understand why everyone is raving about it.

Really good and kind of Smokey and the fire grilled chicken and glass noodles were the best

We ordered the garlic chilli noodles and they were amazing. The place has great vibes and service.
