Noodle Time

The other noodle place in Greenwich — I usually go to Tai Won Mein which is one block away but this time decided to ditch the routine.
The place looks tidy. There is a waving Chinese cat below the sign ‘Merry Christmas’. That’s a nice touch considering the rest of Greenwich is now full of flashy Santas and shiny street decorations.
The theme of moderation weightlessly expanded during my stay here. The food was moderately good. I ordered chicken and sweet corn soup which was amazing. Followed by noodles with sauce and roast duck which was rubbery and hard to bite.
The service was also moderate. I had to write my order by the pen provided on the form. However the waiter when saw my handwriting he crossed off everything I wrote and rewrote it below.
I think it’s a really good place if you are a student or have limitless stomach. The portions are immense. I am still full after my meal and its late evening (I visited this place for lunch).
There is a less choice of udon noodles than in Tai Won Mein but to make a verdict which one is better I will have to come back here again.
Keep your expectations in moderation and you should enjoy this decent noodle bar!

This place was pretty good. The servings were quite large! Mostly all the dishes come with noodles, but there are a handful of options without. Vegan/​vegetarian options are available as well! The fried aubergine was good but super heavy. The Monk’s Vegetables were delicious, and even had celery. It was pretty cheap as well, especially for London. The service was very enthusiastic and nice, and did not take a long time. The mints at the cash register are an added bonus point.

We tried to go to the Japanese place next door but it closed up business for good. We had to «settle» for this place. We were pleasantly surprised. The portion to cost ratio was phenomenal. Wasn’t the superb killer Asian, but we were all happy and full and it was very reasonable. Nice attentive staff!

amazing food and cheap enough to make you guilty when you leave. they will screw things up every now and again, but that’s part of its’ charm. the beef fried vermicelly are just incredible. also, try the gallon of roasted-​duck noodle soup you will receive for about £4.50 :)

I ordered pork wonton udon soup and frankly I loved it. The place is a big like a cheap asian greasy spoon, but they aren’t hiding that fact. The food was yummy and cheap. What more can you ask for from this place?

I went there twice before but probably no third time.
As what others mentioned in the review, you get a big plate with very low price. However, the quality of food is poor especially vegetables (not fresh or overcooked). The dishes you get can be cold inside, and they were probably prepared long before your order and without enough reheat. Comparing to the other noodle place near the Cutty Sark DLR station (huge portion as well), Noodle Time is definitely worse in food quality.

its so delicious! I recommend the grilled chicken and braised beef! The beef is so juicy and noodle is great!

Great food and you get a ridiculous amount for the price. It’s often enough to split into two for those days when chinese food for breakfast is the only thing that’ll hit the spot. The Roast Duck with Sauce Based Noodles come with enough sauce to cover the noodles; a rareity in other restaurants and you get plenty of meat too.
The only criticism I would have is that there are only two dessert options on the menu. I have a huge sweet tooth and had to have a bit of bottom-​of-​the-​freezer ice cream when I got home. But apart from that, excellent!

My kids got a ‘kids meal’ that was supposed to be chicken bites, yet no chicken could be found. Sweet and sour pork was hard and the vermicelli won ton had no flavor. Stay away.

I feel that previous reviews of this Bar have been a little unrealistic, inasmuch as that the bar IS what it says it is. A Noodle Bar! It is not an upmarket restaurant where you would expect to pay upmarket prices. I have used this place for ages and not yet been disappointed at what I got, for what I paid. Cheap and cheerful but always tasty, (I nearly wrote «tatty «then).

Good food, great value for money (huge portions for soup dishes).shame there are only 2 dessert options on the menu though!
Good little jaunt for something filling after sightseeing or shopping.

I love this place. The food are fresh and tasty. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We had a very good time there!

Yep, A-​Ok.
High turnover, menus underneath the glass tables, food arrives super quick, not much love from the staff, but tasty.
Menu is huge. At least 100 dishes to choose from plus side dishes!
The singapore Udon I had was actually very decent! We shared some crispy duck and some seaweed too — £9 each including a tip.
Bargain.

I’d love to have a time machine. A flux capacitor linked to a DeLorean that can hit 88.8 mph and set fire to the Old Kent Road. I could go forward to any future or back in time to any time.
But the one time I wouldn’t go back to is Noodle Time.
Sorry, but I don’t like bland noodles in gruel no matter how big the bowls are. Don’t be so gullible McFly!

Cheap’n nasty; rubbery chicken unlikely to have ever seen the light of day whilst breathing and more syrupy sauce than you can stomach.
Good pointserrrfills a hole?

This place has really attracted the full gamut of opinions hasn’t it? Well, here’s mine. The ultimately correct one.
Noodle Time is a very, very cheap place to buy MSG packed, massive portions of noodles and rice dishes. If you’re up for a fancy ‘authentic’ Chinese meal experience then this probably isn’t it. If you want a lot of addictive, tangy food for not much money then this is ideal.
Décor inside is a bit too much like a the set of some terrible I heart the 70s program, so I would suggest a take away.
Prices from about £2.50 — £4 (each dish includes rice/​noodles).

I didn’t intend to eat at Noodle Time but I was absolutely starving and had 20 minutes before my film started at The Picturehouse, so it was either noodles or a sausage roll from Greggs. I opted for the noodles, as I quite fancied a quick beer as well.
Within 20 minutes I had ordered, eaten a small soup and a plate of chicken noodles and drunk a beer– success! It was quite a struggle to order– there seems to be hundreds of people working there, yet nobody is keen to serve you. There was a group of waitresses huddled around the till chatting and inspecting their phones, so I found myself having to go up to them to give them my order. Not that I cared, my food was brought to me within seconds.
The food here is definitely not great, but it isn’t exactly disgusting either. The disgusting thing was the speed in which myself, and other customers, were consuming the food– it has the turnaround rate of a macdonalds. This is not a relaxing place to come and eat, not only do you find yourself inhaling your food, there is also the most annoying music being played in the background. And it isn’t from the restaurant, but from the hoards of teenagers that fill the restaurant, playing music from their mobile phones. If you are looking for a cheap meal though and only have a few minutes to spare, then this place is a possibility– without my beer, two courses came under 5 pounds.

Depending on your mood and culinary tastes this may or may not prove to be a pleasing pit stop for your journey.
Noodletime is placed just off the market square in maritime Greenwich. Inside the place looks nice and clean, cheapness is the order of the day.
The food is usually very promptly served in all it’s MSG glory and you can et a very cheap meal given that you are in such a touristic area. Quality wise the food is very bog standard and at times artificial.
You won’t be wanting to grab the recipes but if you need a quick cheap sit down meal Noodletime could be a better option than some.

I don’t want to sound like a snob, but I hate it in here. It is better than Tae Won Mien around the corner. But it’s horrible. Noodles thrown into a bowl with the cheapest possible meat they can buy. Nice. This is not chinese food as it’s meant to be.
The stuff are rude, the food isn’t very good and there’s nothing good about being here. It’s not fun. Yes it’s cheap. But there’s a reason for that.
I also went on a date with guy who picked his teeth while I was still eating. Maybe that’s put me off the place…

This place is great if you want a lot of oriental-​style food for not a lot of money! (~£5/​6pp) There are a variety of dishes on offer and although the staff are not particularly friendly, the taste and price of the food has made it a firm favourite of mine.
Students can also get a free drink on Mon-​Fri if they have a valid student card.
