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.
