Neds Noodle Bar

Starving when we ate there earlier. Got Thai noodles, beef sweet and sour noodles, Malaysian shrimp noodles, spicy vegetarian noodle and some gyoza. We I ordered drinks as well. The price is average for the area. The taste and quality of the food is just as average. Considering we just flew in from a 12 hour flight, I suppose this place can’t be called as first choice. There are better food choices near by.

Came to Neds for a quick bite to eat while visiting the Big Ben. The restaurant had a long line so I assumed it must have been good. The price is extremely affordable at around 6 – 8 pounds for a meal, however the wait is well over 20 minutes and the food is mediocre. The meal was warm as they prepare it on the spot, but the sweet and sour chicken was a huge disappointment. My girlfriend got the vegetable udon with Thai Curry and was satisfied. Overall not a stand out experience

Had the noodles with black bean and i think it just had soy sauce… disappointing. Always a bad sign when no asian people are eating or cooking at an asian restaurant…

Don’t be fooled by its appearance. This is not a cheap joint. The food is terrible and terribly expensive because the servicing portions are tiny. It was some of the worst Asian food that I’ve experienced in my life. Do not go to Neds Noodle Bar in Waterloo. McDonald’s would be a much better value for your money.

You can order your favorite noodle by 3 step, choose base noodle, sauce, and filling. It’s convenient and taste good, if you like southeast asia food, it will be a good choice.

I ordered soba noodle with a yakisoba sauce. It was goopy and much too sweet. Not sure if they messed up my order or if they just have no idea how to make yakisoba, but it was a major disappointment and it is sitting heavily in my stomach as I write this.

There were three of us, and each of us tried different noodles and different sauces. All three were bland – even the one that was labeled «spicy» on the menu. Really fast and convenient, but we wished we had picked a different spot for a quick bite to eat.

Für Londoner Verhältnisse ist es hier recht günstig. Die Nudelboxen schmecken super und werden Frisch zubereitet. Auf jeden Fall etwas für alle, die asiatisches Essen und Nudeln mögen.
Besonderer Tipp: Die hausgemachte Limo (allerdings sehr süß)!

The food was very good, and the staff was very friendly. I stopped here after a trip to the eye to grab a quick bite. I enjoyed the set up of the menu as I could personalize my own noodle creation. Good place :)

It’s like Subway but with noodles. You choose the type of noodles, then the sauces, then the filling, and you get your perfect noodle meal in a little cute box (just a standard noodle pailor box — the take aways have a little handle too). The dishes are prepared quickly (10mins tops), served hot and perfect to go — so if you’re having a business meeting around Westminster and you need to catch a quick lunch, this is a place to go. The quantity is good — perfect to fill one very hungry stomach, can be also a shared snack for two.
Good for everyone — all ages should be happy. They are also halaal making it a bit easier for muslim londoners.

I went to Ned’s for dinner and had a chicken Chinese barbecue egg noodles. The food was good and the quantity is nice for the price. I think that one box is enough for two if you are not very hungry.

We stopped by here because it was open late and it was cheap.
Even though I chose a sauce base that was supposed to be spicy – it wasn’t. And my food didn’t taste like much at all. I had to use a lot of English sriracha (not nearly as spicy as the stuff in America) and soy sauce to make my food taste like anything at all.
Service was nice and prompt but food was mediocre. Don’t do it.

Good for a late night noodle fix (open til 11.30) but not outstanding. Very filling but the sauces all tasted the same. 6 choices of noodle, 6 choices of meat/​veg and 6 choices of sauce. Spring rolls, prawn crackers etc for starters and you can add extras for 50p to the noodles. Better than a late night kebab but not worth a special journey.

Stopped at Ned’s late in the evening last week and was pleasantly surprised. I picked my noodle, meat, and sauce and what I got was great. A take away box filled with hot tender noodles and beef with big flavor. The place is open late and next to County Hall so if you’re in the area this place is defiantly worth stopping at.

It was one of those days where, after a busy and slightly depressing morning, I thought to myself ‘time to have a treat for lunch.’ And I was just in that mood for noodles, you know that mood that overcomes you (presumably it is dictated by your stomach), so after a quick wander I found this independent chain and went for it.
Nice interior, little bit like a diner but they hadn’t taken the theme all the way.
Friendly staff, they didn’t give you that bored look when you’re staring at the menu — normally I hate those people that get to the front of a queue and then try and decide what to have. Fortunately today there was not queue so I didn’t care as much!
I had chinese bbq (if that exists, it tasted like teriyaki) chicken egg noodles — you can choose your protein, noodle type and sauce which is always nice. Possible to accompany it with some spring rolls etc but I though that would make me look too fat on my own — this is the point in the review where the readers should exclaim, ‘You, fat, never!’ Thanks in advance for that guys!
£7.25 was expensive food the look of the place (fast food-​esque) so I was expecting good noodles and was a bit disappointed. They were quite greasy and swimming in sauce. If it cost £5 I would be fine with that, but there were no better than Wasabi and 1.5x the price. Portion was less too.
All in all, not worth it. If I’m fancying noodles again I will go a few metres further in the other direction and stick with Wasabi.

I feel like noodle bars have been popping up all over the place in Europe. With that being said, I’d say this place is definitely average/​below avrg compared to other places. The inside is not the cleanest, looks kinda old. It’s also more expensive (but I guess it is London…). I ordered the noodles with yellow curry sauce, chicken, broccoli, and mushrooms. The quality is decent but I found that the sauce was not that flavorful. The presentation is also really messy. If there were other restaurants that were more appealing nearby, I probably wouldnt eat here again.
Places like Wok to Walk have way nicer décor, cheaper price point, and better tasting food.

Neds Noodle Bar is cute little noodle shop in a super touristy part of London. And with all things touristy, the price is quite a bit higher than it really should be. For two waters and two noodle boxes, we paid about $ 35 USD. Everything was good, but $ 35 for some noodles?
But if you’re in this area and need a quick bite to eat, Neds won’t let you down.

I must admit that I quite like this place and its faux-​Asian noodle dishes. Perfect for a cheap and cheerful and quick lunch or light dinner.

To get out of the bloody rain and to warm up our souls, we ordered 2 seafood laskas. Pretty good seafood soup in cocunut currry broth simillar to thom ga thai dish. My moms was cooked with different noodles as to mine, didnt care. I get the whole to go order box but soup being served in that was kinda annoying. Put it in a bowl please. Service was meh. Egg rolls sucked and lacked in flavor. Cost us about 17 pounds.

There are not many (if any) other Fresh made to order Noodles in a box places in London (except for the other branch of Neds in Westbourne grove).
This is why I give it 4 stars!
You order the type of noodles you want with whatever sauce/​meat/​seafood/​veg combo off the menu, and your order is made up fresh in front of you.
I am a fan because it’s a much better healthier take away meal option than alot of the other junk that they sell around Southbank.
My only gripe is the fact that they charge for every little extra (I think around £1 for extra chilli!).
They should have free condiments for people to spice up their own, like in most good Asian eateries.
Still recommend though!

I’ve been here several times in the evening on the way from A to B in the vicinity of Waterloo /​Southbank and found it by accident a while back and I’m a fan for several reasons:
— I love Asian style noodles.
— When I am hungry yet don’t want to hang around too long, I want to eat quickly.
— Good sized portions (can’t stand measly portion sizes for fast food).
— They serve the noodles in those ‘chinese takeaway’ boxes with the little wire carry handle and chopsticks (I like the kitsch factor yet completely practical so you can eat in or take away).
— Made to order and steaming hot.
— Choice of different types of noodle and different style combos (chicken, veg, fish, spicy, non spicy etc)
— Soft drinks or beer, if you want.
— You order and your food comes. Friendly staff, no BS or attitude.
— The place won’t rock your world in terms of your foodie experience here but it’s perfectly good and it is what it is. Good value too.
Check all of the above.
All round a successful formula.

Günstiges schnelles Essen. Wer Nudeln mag ist hier richtig. Empfehlen kann ich nicht die Reisnudel, etwas zu speziell für mich. Selbst bestellen. Gebracht wird es auch. Alles frisch zubereitet. Kein Dosengemüsen! Sehr lecker! In der Nähe ist das Dali-​Museum, das London-​Eye und Starbucks für den Kaffee danach.
