Noodles on Central Avenue
Start with pho

Start with pho

Start with pho or wonton soup. We also have fried rice and vegetarian options.

Delicious noodles and pho, friendly staff, and nice atmosphere tucked into central avenue. Started with some delicious fried pork spring rolls. They were amazing and crispy. Both the pho and ankor wat noodles were huge. The pho broth was perfect and fragrant. Will be back for sure. Plenty of tables, cool inside.

I have enjoyed lunch here a number of times. I find this is a location that I can even enjoy when dining alone! The large screen televisions play video of Asian street food being prepared. I also like to sit at the bar and watch the chefs create the variety of dishes. The menu includes popular dishes from China, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines…all delicious! I love the soup dumplings and all of the curries! The Thai tea is delicious!

I stopped by The Glass Noodle and was blown away by how fresh and flavorful everything was. I ordered the tofu Buddha Delight and spring rolls, and also enjoyed a cold beer—all for under $30! The ingredients were high-quality, the portions were perfect, and the flavors were spot on. You can really taste the care they put into each dish. The menu has so many options I still want to try, so I’ll definitely be coming back. Great food, great value, and a chill vibe. Don’t miss this spot if you’re…

The Red Curry is my favorite dish. I don’t eat chicken or beef and LOVED that I was able to sub shrimp. The up charge was only about 2-3 dollars and the shrimp were very large. The restaurant has an open floor plan and even though it was hot outside. The restaurant remained cool and comfortable. WILL DEFINITELY BE RETURNING!! Service was also amazing! Our server and staff were very friendly and restaurant was VERY clean.

Randomly found this noodle bar because it’s a tradtion to eat noodles on the second day of Spring Festival/CNY, and i was too lazy to cook. Order only Sichuan Hot Pot Noodle soup and it was great! The portion is huge, and you can replace the ramen with udon. Contains a little bit of everything and i definetly love the soup! The staff was really friendly. And sitting under the sunshine enjoying the delicious noodle soup really made my day. Will come back and try something else! 🥳
