OB Noodle House Bar 1502

This place often has a wait on weekends and busy days. We waited about 25 minutes during what appeared to be the peak dinner rush. I was surprised to find the beef came with the option of "well done" as my experience with pho has only included rare beef. I ordered the 1502 Pho which came with well done beef. This took slightly longer for the broth to get the taste that I was used to, and once it did I was pleased with it, which was nice and warm on a cold winter evening. The spicy garlic wings were spicy for someone that usually orders 0 on a scale, but came paired with a thin ranch that helped balance the spice. The flavor itself was good, balanced, and rich.

Loved the food at OB Noodle House! We started with the spicy garlic wings and for entrees ordered the sizzling fish Vietnamese basa and the beef dry chow fun. Very lively bar atmosphere with great staff that are very attentive. Dog friendly as well. Definitely recommend!

I was quite against OB Noodle House since I've only been to the location on Cable St...but coming to Niagara location definitely changed my perception! Three of us ordered a lot of drinks and some food: -delacunt hazy IPA $8 -matcha redacted $11 -skrewball espresso martini $9 -dessert $8 -cockasian $11 -spicy garlic wings $19.95 -house special fried rice $18.95 -45 short ribs $23.95 Matcha redacted and the espresso martini were the better drinks. There is lots of seating inside and outside...and definitely a lot more comfortable than the Cable St location . Andy was our server and was attentive throughout the night. Parking can definitely be very difficult. I had to park a few blocks away. Excited to be back in the near future!

This place is KILLLLEEERRRRR!!!!!! The vibez and ambiance were great. Andy our server was a cool dude and he made the experience even better. We had the sizzling fish and the combo fried rice. All delicious. Tequila old fashions were great. I’m a Carijilo guy and they made a very good ones plus the espresso martini was great made with their peanut butter whisky was amazing. Talking about the peanut butter whisky they are the ones who invented it. Get the OG mix. It was so damn good we got 12 shots to go. Dog friendly too!!!!

I came here with my family and did not know what to expect. I had never heard of this place but was told it was going to be good. When we arrived I liked their setup and was excited to eat here right away. The music was great and everyone appeared to be having so much fun and above all the place looked very clean. We sat down and I was not sure what to order but I started with a Tijuana Green Machine and I would say if you get a chance please try this. So good. The server was amazing and he knew his stuff. He explained the menu well and questions we had were answered and really added to the experience. The food was so good and I honestly did not expect to be so satisfied with the taste. I personally had the #55 and the fried rice. No way you can wrong with these. This is a must visit if you are in the area. I only didn't go 5 stars because of the bathroom situation. The place is packed and there are only two restrooms. There is a line forming to use it basically at all times. There is even a sign that tells you were to form the line so it's a known issue from what I can tell. It just took away from the time I could have been spending with my family. I wouldn't think twice about returning here.

I used to be a fan of OB Noodle House, but after my recent experience, I can confidently say I won’t be coming back. First off, the service was extremely disappointing. The waiting staff lacked basic courtesy, and one waitress, who appeared to be pregnant, was outright rude. She hassled two African American guest to move from a seat they had already been served at, which was rude, unprofessional and unnecessary. What also really stood out was the apparent prejudice in their serving practices. It was hard to ignore that the only African American server seemed to be assigned solely to African American customers. This blatant bias left a sour taste in an already unpleasant visit. Speaking of taste, the wings used to be my go-to favorite. Sadly, they’ve gone downhill in quality. What used to be flavorful and satisfying now feels like an afterthought. A hard pass for me now. Lastly, the music was unbearably loud. It was nearly impossible to have a conversation with the person sitting next to me. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy a meal and actually talk, this isn’t it. All in all, OB Noodle House has lost its charm for me. I’d recommend taking your time and money elsewhere.

Cool place, have gone several times with no issue, but I stopped by for lunch and ordered only the veggie spring rolls to go. I had intense food poisoning for the next two days - I believe it was the bean sprouts specifically (I also did not have anything else to eat, so it was pretty easy to identify). I would be wary of their raw veggies or the bean sprouts for pho, spring roll, etc

Really fun atmosphere with great food! As busy as they were, the service was higher than I expected so kudos to the staff. Food was amaaaaazing. Cocktails were great too. We had the garlic spicy wings and their house special friend rice - a must try!!

Food- was a 10/10 Service- Average Ambiance- 10/10 I really love the pho it's a 10/10

A must stop when in San Diego. Live the fried rice. It is a must have! Husband liked the wings. A little too spicy for me. But if you like spice, go for it. Very busy place. Fast service.

I stopped by for a weekday lunch after checking out the tidepools nearby. I ordered their sizzling fish and tried their veggie pho. I was a little disappointed with the fish because it wasn't sizzling and the charred flavor was overwhelming. The service was friendly and its a great spot for families so I'll be back to try their sizzling beef dish.

OB NOODLES, there are 2 of them in Ocean Beach. But we like this location at Niagara Ave . More seating areas and mostly not a shared table compared to their other location. The food were good here, I like their Short ribs, it's tender and flavorful, and the same with their chicken wings. They are mostly busy here but also they have a lot of staff around so service is fast here. This restaurant is a walking distance to the Beach so Parking here is also tough to find, but we don't mind parking a bit far because we enjoy the walk around this area.

So disappointed! 13 years ago when I moved to OB the Noodle House was amazing. Everything on the menu was *chefs kiss* ... but now every time I decide to give 1502 a chance, they let me down. This is possibly the worst "fried rice" I've ever had. Save your money. I won't be going back again.

We got here around 9:30 pm on a Thursday night. We were glad that their last call wasn't until 10 pm (when it says the restaurant closes). We sat at the tables on the sidewalk that had strong heaters, so we weren't cold at all. They have a wide variety of beers on tap. They print you a receipt with their selections. For food we got the fish sizzling plate and the house special fried rice. Both amazing dishes! The fried rice had a little kick to it. Our server brought us sauces and was very attentive to our table.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. My go to with my husband. We have date nights here and we have family night out here too. This kids love it and so do we. There can be a slight wait at times but it just depends when you go. It's usually not a long wait. They have heaters outside when dining outside. The inside has a really cool tree in the center. Food is delicious, I like the chow fun and my husband the house rice special. My kids get the spicy wings.

We came here on a Friday night and had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. We were able grab a drink at the bar while we waited. We had the Lavender Lemonade cocktails which tasted like juice. The vibes are very fun we got some beers and sat down. The food came quickly - all hot and fresh. We started with the tiger shrimp - delicious. The fried dumplings were just okay - wouldn't get again. The chicken and vegetable dry chow fun noodles and seafood fried rice were delicious and large enough to share. A must try is the peanut butter whiskey shots - they are delicious and some much fun. Overall was a great meal for a great price.

Very surprised at how disappointing of a meal I had at OB noodle house the other day. Unfortunately, I also had a terrible experience with the food at The Holding Company on another recent occasion. I am wondering if something is happening because I've always enjoyed my meals here when I went a few years back - has anyone else had the same experience? We ordered the spicy garlic wings and the beef and vegetable noodles. The wings were fun, nothing that great and I've definitely had much better wings at other restaurants around San Diego. The beef and vegetable noodles were very disappointing. The sauce had a slimy texture and lacked real flavor, and it made the entire dish have a slimy feel. The noodles also seemed to be overcooked because they were mushing together and were not complete. My friend who got a different type of noodle dish entirely also had the same type of sauce and was similarly disappointed. I will say that the service was fine - our waiter was very nice and attentive, but the food itself is reason enough for me to stay away!

Grabbed take-out on New Years Eve! It was a bit of a wait, but worth it. My grilled steak/noodles was so fresh and yummy. My shrimp rolls with peanut sauce were great too!

I was quite against OB Noodle House since I've only been to the location on Cable St...but coming to Niagara location definitely changed my perception! Three of us ordered a lot of drinks and some food: -delacunt hazy IPA $8 -matcha redacted $11 -skrewball espresso martini $9 -dessert $8 -cockasian $11 -spicy garlic wings $19.95 -house special fried rice $18.95 -45 short ribs $23.95 Matcha redacted and the espresso martini were the better drinks.

If you are looking for comfort food this is definitely the spot for you! We haven't had much fall weather yet this season but it is cooling down in the evenings and OB Noodle House is a great spot to head towards. You have to get a peanut butter shot while you are there. They are small and absolutely delicious! My go to is the house fried rice. It could feed multiple people to share or just for yourself with plenty of leftovers. The wings are on my list of things to try next.

Service by Sam was ABSOLUTELY out-of-the-world - truly. She nailed all of our dietary restrictions and was PERFECTLY attentive! The sizzling fish, the lettuce wraps, fried dumplings, peanut butter Jame-O shots, Framboise & more were TOP-NOTCH as always! We got a seated really quick around 3:30 at the perfect table outside with heaters. Cannot wait to come back :)

OB Noodle House is a favorite place of my whole family. It has a nice setup where you can bring your dog along. To start off, you need to have a shot of their peanut butter whiskey. Skrewball was invented at this restaurant, but the homemade one is so much better. For appetizers we got the Edamame, Spicy Garlic Wings, Crispy Tiger Shrimp, Fresh Spring Rolls, and The Fried Dumplings. There Edamame dipped in their soy-chili sauce is to die for. The Spicy Garlic Wings are very big and once you dip them in ranch, youll know what Heaven feels like. The Crispy Tiger Shrimp dipped in the sweet & sour sauce is also another favorite. My parents always get the Fresh Spring Rolls which they say are the best, but its just not my thing. This time we tried The Fried Dumplings which are also so tasty. For entrees we ordered the Korean Beef Short Ribs and The Beef Hong Kong Chow Fun. My dad comes here for these short ribs. If his stomach was large enough he would consume two plates of these. The Beef Hong Kong Chow Fun was also amazing. The portion is humungous and enough to share with the whole table. Overall, OB Noodle House Bar 1502 is a great establishment. The servers and bartenders are all such sweet people. They basically will do anything to make sure your enjoying yourself. It makes sense why most of them have been working here since it opened. I give our experience a 9/10.

Nice post work/weekend friend hang out spot. There's a bar in the front to grab drinks after dinner and just chat. The service was fast and friendly. The food itself was alright, I got the special noodle. The portion is hugeeee and I could barely finish. Very worth the value. The soup could be warmer and but otherwise very good!

The service here was great as always! My friend really liked their dumplings (I couldn't try because of shrimp allergy) but she said they were flavorful and crunchy. I got the spicy garlic wings and they were so full of flavor. My only complaint is that some of them were definitely old because they were slightly warm while others were obviously fresh because they were steaming hot. The dry chow fun was really good, the noodle texture was perfect, it could've just used a bit of salt. The pork fried rice was really great and a huge portion!

Bartenders were great. Food ... meh. Ordered the wontons and they were way over cooked to the point of almost burnt. Ordered the saffron fried rice with chicken. There were hardly any veggies and the chicken was mediocre at best. Not much meat either. Wand what meat there was was chewy and dark meat. Not a fan. Overall a disappointing experience. Probably won't be back.

Food was excellent and our servers were super cool. I really enjoyed my beef and vegetable dry chow fun. The chili oil on the side was a great idea -- definitely flavorful and not too spicy. My party and I were initially at the bar but after a drink or so, we moved up the waitlist and were seated quite promptly. Despite it being a tad rainy and the restaurant bustling, everyone who helped us was so kind and inviting. I'm glad our server told us about the chili oil and the popularity of the dry chow fun. So yummy!

Hands down one of my FAVORITE places in San Diego. Everything on the menu is delicious, but my go to is the beef short rib plate! Extra onions (they get all caramelized & are just to die for on top of rice)! & you must get the spring rolls or the wings. They have a wide variety of beer, and the vibe is always immaculate. All the servers are super chill and will always make sure your having a good time Tip: come hungry

Been going to Noodle house for years now since we live nearby. We love everything about it except that service has been getting worse and worse each time we go. Starting with the hostess that doesn't acknowledge customers and doesn't look at us in the face. Waitress was the same thing. It looks like they know they'll get busy anyways so no need to be nice with customers. Very disappointed.

OB Noodle House is one of the best. We always get the wings everytime we go. They are so flavorful and the seasoning is fantastic. This last time we went we also got the pho and fried rice. The pho was our favorite item we ordered. It was perfect for a cold and rainy day. Our server was super nice and we got our food surprisingly fast. We will absolutely be going back.

Happy Hour from 3-6 was a hit tonight. We got the 12- piece spicy chicken wings were bomb! Jack was our server we had some great food and drinks S the sun went down. Loved the place and we had my two kids plus my best friends kid. Great atmosphere and great place to meet up with some amazing friends! Check out the pic! Super fun evening!

UPDATE... Cool vibes and always delicious. BUT I had a pounding msg headache after eating here. HOUSE SPECIAL FRIED RICE - had a little bit of heat. Amounts of flavor and use of msg. STRAWBERRY AEROL SPRITZ - light flavors of strawberry yet refreshing.

I was pretty disappointed with the food here, especially after seeing the very almost five stars that it has from thousands of reviewers. We ordered a couple bowls of pho, the Garlic Chicken Wings and the Sizzling fish. The wings were very crispy but were lacking in any real flavor. They were super garlicky but that was probably the most prominent flavor. The fish was too salty and the rice it was paired with was not cooked well. Not fluffy, and in fact, quite crunchy. The fish also could have done with some additional acid. Adding some lime from the pho actually helped balance out the saltiness quite a bit. Overall, I was pretty disappointed. I'm still astounded by the positive reviews and would recommend those folks to actually try some better, less salty and better seasoned, Asian food...

2nd location of OB Noodle House. Spicy garlic wings (as seen on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives) are AMAZING! They have perfected the seasoning and cooking in the perfect wing with a side of ranch to mellow the spicy but up the flavor (if you are a Ranch dipper). Mostly drums rather than flats, but that's totally ok. The crispness of these drums and wings will have you nibbling off every morsel to a clean bone. Oh, and the pho is pretty phonetically as well. Last mention would be to the friendly staff. Complimenting your choices, joking hope they are the better location, checking to see if you need another beer or if you've enjoyed the food. Top notch service...memorable and worth coming back again!

Had the tofu & veggie chow fun and the sizzle fish. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. It was a white fish presented on a super hot cast iron plate. We didn't hear it sizzle but it was very hot, and cooked perfectly with a light herb blend topping - so happy we ordered this dish. The hong kong chow fun was perfect, veggie and noodles cooked perfectly and the sauce was heaven. Skip the appetizers, especially if you come anytime after 8pm - go for the freshly prepared dishes. Can't wait to come back.

Writing this because it's happened to me a couple of times & now I have photo evidence. Please OB noodle change this commonality. Every time I get the OB special it says it comes with extra noodles & it doesn't 75% of the time, even though it's included in the price. These 2 photos, 1 is extra noodles & the smaller 1 is the OB special that is supposed to have extra noodles. Extra noodles for a dollar is an easy upgrade but if it's include you have to follow through...

OB Noodle House bar is a wonderful Pho establishment located on Niagara street in ocean beach. There is outdoor seating and a lot of televisions if your interested in watching sports from your seat. Tonight I went for dinner after earlier having drinks elsewhere. We were seated promptly by the host at an outdoor table across from the bar. Menus were providing and water was promptly served. We ordered lettuce wraps, spring rolls and the OB Special (Pho noodle bowl). The appetizers were delivered quickly and both were on point and delicious. The lettuce wraps were crisp and the chicken had a good spicy kick to it. The spring rolls were fresh and and dipping sauce was delicious. I love the spring rolls, they're a favorite of mine. The OB Special arrived hot and it too was also full of flavor in the broth and the meat was very tender and flavorful as well. I don't often eat Pho, as most around where I live don't seem to stick around long. OB Noodle house is a must try as all the items I had tonight were delicious. The server was also very attentive and did a great job serving us.

OMG - so good! I'm in absolute ecstasy! I've been craving Pho and this satisfied it. There's more than enough seating inside and outside. The service is fast and super friendly. Ashley took care of me :) I ordered the Juneshine Cider and more than happy with that pick. Enough TV's to watch different games. The music is perfect for a Friday or Saturday night out.

Originally had planned to go to the other OB Noodle house down the way but couldn't find parking. Glad we ended up here. This place seemed bigger and more inviting. The music was good. Food was good. Service was great. Our server Andy, along with his teammates always made sure our drinks were full and table was cleaned in a timely manner. If you are in the area for sure come for a visit!

We had the peanut butter shots, sizzling fish, and Thai wraps and they were so good. Our server Sam was amazing! She was super friendly and really awesome with her recommendations. 11 out of 10.

Great atmosphere excellent food service is always amazing we just love this place and the people that fill it.

Best experience. Kylie greeted us and was so kind! She found us seats quickly even though the place was packed. Our waiter was Giuseppe and he was friendly and efficient even though he was super busy. Food arrived and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend it!

Love their pho and the dumplings! Every time I go to San Diego it's one of my first and last stops. Great bartender. Don't forget to try the original screwball!

Was ordering last min to-go tonight 11/11 and the hostess was exemplary. Naturally pleasant, friendly and professional beginning to end. When someone takes that extra effort to be nice and connect with someone.... It pays dividends to that establishment so I wanted to recognize her. Pretty blonde with cat eyeliner

Finally made my way over to try this place!! Definitely the place to go for strong drinks, chill vibes and some good food. Got the wings to start and pho tai nam with the house peanut butter espresso martini and everything was delicious. NFL playoff games on the TVs and great service!

Finally, cross this name off my list. It's a very nice and busy spot around OB. If you're are coming in on a weekend, prepare for a 30 min+ wait. Food was great, the short ribs has awesome charcoal flavor from grill, it's just a little chewy and might get stuck in your teeth (probably not a good choice if you have braces), the sizzling fish was very flavorful, highly recommended. Both sizzling plates come with rice. The place has a club vibe, so you'll need to talk a bit louder with all the music going on.

I came on a Tuesday and they have a Tuesday special of their tacos. 3 for $12 and these were sooooo good. I also had their chicken wings with ranch. They were okay nothing spectacular. They were more of a dry crispy rub which was good but not something I would order again. Loved the atmosphere of an open concept around the bar and a lot of TVs on with sports. I would definitely want to try their noodles next time. The service was friendly, attentive and fast!

Awesome, fun spot to grab food and/or drinks. Expect a long wait if you come at a busy time, but it's worth it! This time, we had the tofu lettuce wraps, crispy egg rolls and chicken pho - all delicious! The espresso martini was good too :) I highly recommend!

Cool bar to chill at for happy hour or just getting away from life. Drink options are plentiful, service is chill, cool friendly. Bar seating can be tough to find, get here early. I've had noodles here also, it was good.

OB Noodle House was right around the corner from our Airbnb so we thought it would be the perfect spot for easy carry out... what we learned was that this location doesn't do online ordering and we had to go to the other location. Thankfully it wasn't too far away. Just wish it would have been more clear with their ordering system. As for the food... we shared some Crispy Noodles and seafood fried rice. Both were delicious and just what we wanted after a day on the beach with our baby and pup!

If you don't want/have time to wait two hours for OG OB Noodle house but still want the same quality and great ambiance then 1502 is for you! Started off the meal with a Screwball shot which was delicious and then shared garlic wings and the 1505 Wagyu Pho. Overall, the service was great - all the servers were super friendly and willing to give great recs. Would come back here again!

Visiting Sand Diego and a friend brought us here. The vibe was fun! Enjoyed watching the game and the people around made it fun. Food and drinks were yummy we got some garlic chicken wings, Tiger shrimp, and some beef noodles! Drink wise we had Paloma's and the famous peanut butter shots! Shots were amazing! I give a 4 star because the girl helping us was not too friendly. She made the meal feel very transactional and felt like we were bothering her...but over all food and environment was great.

Waiter sat couple with big dog next to my daughter seat my daughter stood up to get fork from mom an dog tried to attack her she's 5, told an to remove his dog a second later his dog tries to attack a dog passing by again,I told waiter an he just stood their an let it go in 1 ear an out the other instead of moving them or us he just let them stay my daughters safety an others safety wasn't priority to him I left 160$ in food an drink on table an paid my bill an left what disrespect to my family I felt to get no resolvement, I also told other eaiters on my way out to hope they'd accommodate in another location so I can finish our mea but nothing from them either, wheres the manager? I want what I worked hard for a decent dinner in a safe environment which that place wasn't

Get here before the dinner rush but the wait is worth it! For parking, get your walking shoes on or pay for parking at rite aid. Everything on this menu is delicious. You cannot go wrong. Our staples are the wings, short ribs, house fried rice and the fish. It's so get here i emotional eating the fried rice! The wings have the oven/BBQ look. They are cooked to perfection, not overcooked. They have their own unique seasoning that does not over power the natural flavors brewing from wings. The outside of the wings have a crispy layer that locks in the flavors until you break the outer layer and takes straight to flavor town! The drink list is not vapid of any variety! The drink menu has depth! The fried fish is flavorful, and enough to feed two adults, if the adults have big appetites get two! If your visiting San Diego this is a must restaurant! The locals will be agreement that this is a cannot miss spot. Sports on the tv, music, drinks great food and close to the beach! This place sells itself! Returning back here whenever possible!

OB Noodle House is a local favorite and Bar 1502 really ups the stakes by bringing you the party. I always take my out-of-town friends here for the OB experience and it never disappoints. Every visit for sure requires an order or two of their famous spicy garlic wings (extra crispy please) and the chicken lettuce cups. The beer list here rotates often and is impressive in its variety. For less than enthusiastic beer drinkers, I recommend trying one of the sours on the menu or one of the many specialty cocktails. Absolutely do not sleep on the peanut butter shots! These are made with Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey, which was co-crafted by local OB legend and OB Noodle House founder Steven Yeng. Plan on having a designated driver if you spend a night out here.

From far, the place looks like just your regular bar where you would just order beer and French fries from. However, that's not the case here. Apparently, food is delicious! I ordered sizzling fish and was pleasantly surprised by its quality - it came with freshly topped greens (cilantro and green onion) and a side of rice. Perfectly portioned leaving no room for hunger. My boyfriend is obsessed with combination fried rice (and brown sauce) on the menu and I am confident we will be back for more. Phos looked interesting so I might have to check them out next!

We waited for about 45 mins on a Friday evening! The star of the show as the wings! Must get. It was my first time here and everyone told me to try to pho. I thought it was good! I tried my friends fried rice and that was also delicious. This place is great and I would def come back.

Food was excellent! I personally had the PHO OB Special. Was great with a side of basil, bean sprouts and peppers. The beer selection was excellent. Friendly service where the waiter stayed and chatted for a solid 10 minutes. The ambiance was very chill. We sat out in the sun on the patio and enjoyed the weather. Al together a great place to check out.
