Noona Noodles

Coming here is an experience to say the least! It is packed! This stall is pricey, but I guess the portion reflects it — it is massive! Finding a place to sit when it is busy is hard, but totally worth it for a fun time. The food here is great, but I would like to try something else because I feel like these aren’t what the stall is known for. The service was also not special, and slightly aggressive, but they pump out your food super fast, and it is really tasty.

Nice spot for different Korean noodle dishes in a casual setting. This is more of a spot for a quick bite than to go for the ambience since it is in a food court. Went with the udon and the broth, noodles, and shrimp tempura were perfectly cooked. The egg was hard boiled instead of poached though which was a little let done. Flavors were good otherwise and the workers were friendly.

This is a stall in a food court so ambiance and service is relative to the experience. The food is off the charts. The jjam bbong was filling, ample, fresh, just enough spice as requested, silky and aromatic broth, plenty of seafood and noodles. Perfection. Note - it is served in a gigantic bowl and you can eat at tables upstairs. You carry your own food after the buzzer they give you rings. Chopsticks and one small spoon, ask for small sides: kimchi, pickled radish today. Shells remain on the prawns.

The Kalguksu was hot fresh and spicy and you get an enormous portion. I wish that the kimchi was free to add to my soup though… The food court was a little hectic, hot and smoky, but the food was amazing.

I like this new spot within the K-town food court. The noodles I got were of big portion and it was good. The wait was okay on a Friday night. I like that it’s brining the varieties of Korean and Korean-Japanese noodles to NYC.

We found this place by chance and we were so happy to come back here few times to eat delicious bulgogi ramen. Food is fresh and tasty. Service is fast and kind.

a true gem in K-town food court! bibim naeng myeon (“icy spicy”) was a perfect and refreshing meal on a hot summer night. not a lot of ingredients, so not a lot of room for error. perfectly done noodles complemented by a beautifully savory and spicy chilled broth. quick service and great value. a must-try among the many options in the food32 space.

The food was immaculate as it really captured the Korean cuisines essence. Although it was a bit spicy, it was a flavorful punch. The service was also top tier as it was short and sweet. The vibe I got from the shop is that it was truly family owned and cozy. I could see the owner and her daughter both working hard and it really made me appreciate Noona Noodles. It was not a franchise but a family business.

Located in Food Gallery 32 (a food court), Noona Noodles has everything I need when I'm on my own and crave jjampong - a spicy korean seafood noodle soup. I arrived at 11:15 to a relatively empty food court (though that changed by 11:30), made my order for the jjampong ($17), took a buzzer, and retrieved my order 10 minutes later. The portion size was quite generous, and so too was the amount of seafood. Ample amounts of mussels, both head-on shell-on shrimp and peeled shrimp, and octopus adorned the bowl. The soup was quite rich with stock and garlic aromatics. Notably, the smokiness of wok-sauteed vegetables (wok-hei / 過氣) was present as well. When I made my order, employees warned about the spiciness and confirmed that I was ok with it. Damn right I was. I needed extra napkins to deal with the heat, which is my benckmark for spicy enough.

I stopped by Noona Noodles in the Koreatown Food Gallery and ordered their Soo Jae Bi wide noodle soup with chicken. You can pick your protein. This was a crowded Sunday afternoon in the food hall and Noona Noodles tucked into the back right corner was no different. This collagen soup ran around sixteen dollars and, in take out mode, comes with the noodles and kimchi packed separately. Despite the crowd, Noona Noodles took around fifteen minutes to prepare this soup. All the businesses give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. The customer facing people working there are very nice. The soup was good when I got home. It is savory and gthe collagen broth is rich. They are generous with the noodles and the chicken. It is a substantial serving and should satisfy any appetite. This is a good soup if you are under the weather. There are the onions in there along with the kimchi. It's not spicy and some people may find the flavor a bit wanting, but Noona has other offerings with heightened spice levels. This is good comfort food at a decent price that will satisfy. Three good stars!

Ambiance: 5/5 This was located inside a small food court. It is crowded but still a cute place to visit. Service: 5/5 Food came out promptly and you have the option for dining in or taking out. Food: 4/5 We got the Icy Cold Noodles. The broth was sweet, slightly sour, and umami. It was very refreshing.

A little hidden gem in the 32nd street food court. We chose this on our walk back to James Nomad because it had gluten free options. The Pho is safe as it comes with rice noodles. We skipped the side of sweet teriyaki which because we just weren't sure (soy sauce) and didn't ask before leaving. We did add sirachi in the broth, to give it some kick. The girl tsking orders was very helpful. She said they have gluten free noodle options if you needed a ramen sub. We did get a a gluten Bulgogi Ramen as well for those that can eat gluten. It was also nothing short of awesome. I think we are going back to the food court tomorrow to sample more things, and maybe not just from Noona. More to come!

They open LATE in the night! We were feeling a little peckish after a Knicks game. I wanted something warm and soothing. Maybe because it was almost closing time? But the shrimp tempura udon I ordered did NOT hit. The broth was suuuuper salty. The shrimp tempura was soggy when it came out and I picked it up right away when the buzzer went off. I'd be open to try other things on their menu or another kiosk.

The kalguksu serving was pretty huge and it was good! Great for a cold day! The ramen tasted a little too artificial like instant ramen so I wouldn't say it's worth the price. The food court is quite busy but we found a seat in a few minutes! Great for a quick stop to eat in K-town with other options around!

To be honest, I'm disappointed every time I come here. The ramen options look soooo good in the pictures but they just don't taste how you want them to. Ingredients are boring, service is fine, flavor is never what i'm expecting. I haven't tried much of the menu but so far I must've ordered wrong because I've been extremely unhappy. Tastes more like bland soup than quality ramen (prices are higher than I would like for this cafeteria style meal)

While in K-Town, we stumbled upon a food court with a variety of Korean restaurants. It was the perfect spot for a quick lunch before our next city tour. I enjoyed the Knife-cut noodle soup in a rich bone broth with seasonal veggies. The food court had limited seating on the first floor, so we sat at a community table. There's also plenty of seating available on the second level.

Located inside Food Gallery in Ktown, Noona Noodles has some good soup, stew and ramen! You order at the counter, get a buzzer and wait for the treats! The shop owner is very nice and the cashier is pretty quick. Always tip a $1 for their packing of food. Prices at Food Gallery has increased but not ridiculous and is still affordable. I've tried their fried dumplings before but wasn't a huge fan bc it was overly fried and greasy. But lately I've tried their "Icy" - which is the cold noodle.., and I enjoyed it! Hits the stop list right. Love they give you so many sliced radish which compliments the buckwheat noodles and vinegary cold stock. Especially for such hot weather in NYC. I wish they cut the noodles up before packaging the takeout... cuz by the time I get back to my office, it was difficult to undo the noodles... so you pretty much have to chow down - face down to the bowl and chew carefully not to splash your own face.

This was excellent. The K-Rage, Icy Spicy, and sticky crispy dumplings (with rice cakes added) were all outstanding, and all three had a decent amount of spice. The Icy Spicy was probably my favorite, but I'd be thrilled to get all three of these again.

I got the chili soup and it's the most disgusting soup I've ever tasted. It just tastes as if you're biting into a charcoal but somehow it's sour??? It had a fishy taste and it never left my pallet. I made a complaint and I was told by the owner "if you don't like it then you don't like it. It's not like I can give you McDonald's". Like wtf is actually wrong with these people?? Didn't even offer anything else to compensate for this trash ass noodle nor did she ask how they could make it better. Don't come to this place it's definitely overhyped by social media. If you want something authentic and better go eat along the ktown street.

One reason we love coming to NYC is that there is a little bit of everything. It's a big melting pot of all cultures and their unique cuisines. With that, they bring their ethnic foods and open up some amazing places to eat. Don't get me wrong, as Hawaii is also like that minus some ethnic foods, but NYC has a ton more options as it should being more populated. With that said, we remember an article that came out reviewing Noona Noodles in the New Yorker saying that they loved this mother daughter restaurant. So we looked it up on Yelp and it seems our fellow Yelpers also like this place too. Located in Food Gallery 32 probably named as it's located on 32nd street in particular 11 W 32nd St. Noona Noodles is located in the back right corner. It's where you will find this hidden gem of classic Asian inspired dishes. Because the weather is cooler than back at home and we didn't sleep on the plane we decided to get the Chicken Noodle Soup (good for the body), and Yaki Udon just because heard the flavors are off the hook. The better half and I both agree that the Chicken Noodle Soup broth was very clean tasting. The veggies are really fresh and the chicken was very soft and cooked throughout. While I like a lot of sauce in my Yaki Udon, the better half likes it less sauce. But it was my dish so two thumbs up in my book. Both dishes were huge. I had to tap out with a fourth left. If we get to come back, I want to try their okonomiyaki. Yes, okonomiyaki!!! Thanks Noona Noodles for an awesome meal.

We stopped by here a couple times to use up a gift card from family. It was absolutely delicious. We got the spicy seafood pepper bomb and gyozas. The pepper bomb is so amazing. It is very spicy, flavorful, and generous with seafood. Don't forget to buy a drink to go with it because you will definitely need it to cool the spices. The gyozas are crispy and tasted the best when fresh.

The food was pretty good. I'm just bombarded by how less noodles they gave for almost a $20 plate... It's my first time trying pepper-bomb udon noodles with pork belly, I ordered mine mild spicy. The service was great though, the ladies at the front were both super kind and sweet. This food spot is pretty small and has limited seating since it is in a mini food court.

Fast service and good food. Exactly what was needed after a long day of traveling. I got the udon and it was delicious. The flavor was good and the noodles were just right. Be sure to stop by if you are near Korea town.

Got the icy noodles and the first item on the menu (started with a M). It was in the food court on the right. Cold icy noodles were ok, there were 2 small pieces of beef that were very overcooked. Otherwise, it was just noodles, cucumber, one egg, and Daikon. Very refreshing for hot weather. The other bowl was hot and also quite refreshing, lots of veggies and flat noodles. Overall great place to eat for a quick simple meal.

They have some vegan options and their noodles and dumplings are tasty. Their sauces are spicy and kimchi is very spicy. My friends love their seafood soup.

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 This was my first time visiting Food Gallery 32, and my friend recommended Noona's Noodles. We got the Chilled Soba, Fried Dumplings, and Sweet Heat Salad (jjolmyeon). All of which came out about 15-20 minutes after ordering. The soba was great, and my friend liked the fried dumplings. The jjolmyeon was good but is INCREDIBLY spicy (which I knew going into it). It's a huge bowl that I got ¼ into. This is good for people with higher spice tolerance and have a large appetite.

Went her for the first time located on 31st street between 6 and 7th Avenue. I believe they call this place Korean Town its was interesting . The crowd was very young mostly Asian cuisine but there was folks of all ages and nationalities that's what makes NYC so dope. I had ramen for the 1st time and it was alright. I won't say I'm a fan but it wasn't bad either.

Awesome spot! Used to go here when I worked in the area and want to give them the credit - pricing is reasonable and servings were generous! I used to order the Pho with chicken. Loved it! Very good! Would recommend!!! (More seating options upstairs!)

Decent ramen specially when it's cold outside. The quantity for the price is huge. Any ramen here will be a FULL meal. I got the Cowboy Ramen, which was not too weird with cheese in it. I was expecting more bold flavors, but I did miss the extra spices and soy sauce they had on the side. The service was good for me but some of my friends who ordered after took over 30 mins to get their food. The inside of this area has plenty of seats, but with a lot of people hunting for a table. It is also hotter than normal inside, which can get a bit uncomfortable. Overall, it's a nice place with a bunch of desserts and drinks around to try.

Got the pork ramen. It came with a generous amount of pork. About 6 pieces. The pieces of pork were really good. The ramen was kind of over cooked and not bouncy. The broth was also not very flavorful. It was okay, but I wouldn't get it again. They were quick with service though. Mayne try some of their other menu items. Don't get their ramen. It's not worth it. The portions were very big however.

After dining here several times throughout my K-Town experiences, I had always ordered the Cowboy Ramen (highly recommend) but today I decided to try a new dish - Pepper Bomb! It was delish! The staff are always helpful and very accommodating. There are three levels to the food court. While it is Located on the 1st floor / back right, I don't ever mind taking my dish and walking upstairs to soak in the ambiance and energy of the other patrons.

I'm not sure if I just don't like naengmyun or if theirs wasn't great since it was my first time having it but I was underwhelmed. It might be that I ordered it without ice since I don't like ice or maybe it's just not the dish for me. Only had 2 measly thin pieces of beef, a handful of cucumber, and half an egg with a mountain of noodles. Broth was weirdly sweet. I wouldn't get it again. The cashier was very nice!

This place is always my go to spot inside Food Gallery 32 for authentic korean noodles. I love coming here for their icy cold noodles and jjambbong (spicy seafood noodle soup). They're super consistent with their quality and quantity which I appreciate. The times that I have been here, it's always been busy and packed so be prepared to wait 15 minutes or more for your food. During that time, I like to find a table and wait for the pager to go off.

I'm still thinking about this salad and have already tried to recreate it myself. The cold noodles and cold bowl were just what I needed on a recent visit to New York on a sweltering hot day - it was so refreshing! The dressing was amazing too!

Was really craving some naengmyeon and needed it asap. Ended up getting some from here with low expectations and was pleasant surprised. It was very flavorful and quickly out. Seating can be hard to find because of the area the spot is in so you'd need to take it to go or have someone get a seat for you.

Great mom and daughter food place inside the Korean food court in the heart of Koreatown (Food Gallery 32) on 32nd street, the Mecca of Korean food. I loved talking to the owner who is so sweet and friendly and loves to provide great Korean food that is a mix of fusion Asian but also caters to authentic Korean foods and desires. The portions are amazing bc for $15-17 ish you will get enough food to fill the belly and have leftovers. I always appreciate that bc people want to know that their hard earned money is worth something and that you can enjoy food after a long day of work. You will not be disappointed.

짬뽕 (jjambbong) is my favorite Korean food, and I've tried very good 짬뽕 all around the tri-state area and in Korea Daegu. the 짬뽕 at Noona Noodles is INSANE and surpasses the taste of other very impressive 짬뽕s that I've tried. If you didn't give them a 5-star, I recommend you get their spicier noodles and you'll definitely change your mind. The noodles are chewy and super fresh which I didn't expect from a small restaurant in a food court, the broth is SPICAYY only for the real ones who can handle it (I think they have milder broths for the babies haha), and they overload the noodles with enoki mushrooms, bok choi or cabbage, and all sorts of seafood. The portions are huge so come hungry. Brought my mom and brother here today and they love the food too. It's like when you bring home a boyfriend and your family approves of him; I introduced my family to Noona Noods and they were very impressed :P. This place reminds me of the street markets in Korea that don't hold back on taste and portions, and make sure you leave with your belly about to explode. Thanks Noona Noodles for being there for me when I have my hangovers, lunch breaks, and long excursions in the city.

The place is situated in a food court of sorts. Love the flavor. Pretty authentic. Service is you pay for it and pick it up, fast food type. Tip: Don't tip unless food is brought to the table. Reply to owner: tenets*... it's your job to pay them. Not ours.

I stopped into Noona Noodles on a weekday after work. It's located inside of a bigger food hall with multiple vendors, all of which share a central seating area. You place your order at their counter and receive a buzzer while it cooks. I recommend using this time to snag seats, as it was pretty busy when I visited and seats are limited. I ordered the Frat Boy noodles and it took about 10 minutes from my order until it was ready. The dish was huge and full of contents - noodles, cheese, veggies, and a massive hot dog. It tasted AMAZING too. Noona noodles makes for a great option if you are in KTown and want something inexpensive and quick. Recommend giving it a try!

Wow for Ktown food court, I had very low expectations for this, but it blew my mind. I thought it was going to be overpriced, small, lacking flavor and most importantly: not worth it. But wow I am pleased!! First off the portion sizes, I was able to share this with a friend and we were both so full we couldn't finish anymore. There was a decent amount of noodles (not ramen, but hand pulled maybe?) which was chewy and bouncy. In this bowl, there were at least 8 mussels, 3 big shrimp, 4 baby shrimp and more things I forget. This bowl was stuffed with seafood, which made it so worth!! Flavor wise, the spice is there but tolerable. I've had a lot of stew and its variations in Ktown, but the soup here definitely ranks higher than many that I have tried. This is a great spot for grab and go soup, and you will definitely spend less $$ than you would at any neighboring restaurant. Can't wait to try the others!!!

Great place for Korean food. Tried their sujebi, which really satisfied my craving, as I haven't really seen it on menus elsewhere. They have a lot of options, but all are done well. Can't really go wrong with any of the noodles.

I've come here over the years and was really happy that they were still around after I moved away and came back from graduate school. Back when I worked in the area I used to pickup Mealpal from here. I know some people may call me sacrilege for always getting Pho, but it really does satisfy the need when it arises (and it arises often). Their other dishes are always really rad as well - I've tried their spring rolls, dumplings, and other ramen noodle soups. I do mean to try more traditional Korean meals there since it's in Koreatown after all, but I'll get to it soon! I did do an order today and thought I said the right thing - I was really excited to see happy workers and may have been distracted while ordering - the cashier was really nice and I didn't double check the order when it went in and didn't take a receipt so I definitely take the blame for not noticing anything. Regardless, everything was sorted really quickly - I brought the Pho and Bulgogi Ramen home to eat with my fiance and it is just as delicious as ever. I'm so happy to be back with local access to this place. Anyway, I'm really happy to see new life at the restaurant - the cashier lady was super nice and her boss who was managing the meals was really quick to swap - general lesson to check what you order no matter where you go to get food! But I'll be back to this rad restaurant the next time my craving peaks.

The food was immaculate as it really captured the Korean cuisines essence. Although it was a bit spicy, it was a flavorful punch. The service was also top tier as it was short and sweet. The vibe I got from the shop is that it was truly family owned and cozy. I could see the owner and her daughter both working hard and it really made me appreciate Noona Noodles. It was not a franchise but a family business.

It's a food court setting, so there are multiple options. I'm happy with choosing this spot. The springs rolls tasted fresh and the ramen was good. The staff who were working were very nice!

I love coming to this food court solely for Noona Noodles. Their jjamppong (spicy noodle soup) is my go-to order, and it always hits the spot. The bowl is huge with so much noodles and seafood, and the hot spicy broth is so good every time. It's nice to kick back and enjoy this jjamppong when I'm in the area and have a short 30 min to grab a quick, gourmet meal. I definitely recommend coming here!

This place is my to go place when craving good food. I try the cowboy ramen it was delicious little spicy but good. The service is good despite the busy that is always here. Thankfully finding a seat was not too bad today sometimes is hard to get seats right away. I like that fact that all type of people comes here and you get to chat with random strangers sometimes about the food

Ordered the chicken potstickers and the Soo Jae Bi, delicious! So fresh, the brisket was tender and the broth was very tasty. Perfect for the cold weather.

Noona Noodles Extra Spicy Jjamppong is my FAVOURITE meal to get whenever I'm back in NYC. I like it even more than Wah Fung No. 1's Cantonese bbq over rice and that's saying a LOT. I haven't had this dish since pre-pandemic days, but it STILL SLAPS HARD. The price went up a pinch but I swear to god they somehow managed to add more food (including seafood) to the dish. I've had some of their other dishes and they too are delish, but that jjamppong, man! (This spot is located inside Food Gallery 32.)

We had the beef brisket pho and it was okay. I think it had potential though for the other noodles so I will try it again. I couldn't get used to the beef brisket because usually it's beef instead in pho. The order took a while since there are a lot of people. I like that the place is family owned. This is located in the Food Gallery 32.

I came here after a workout class and was craving a snack to share with a friend. We ordered the Sweet Heat Noodle Salad and I loved it! Huuuge portion, we shared it and both took some home. Loved how many veggies were there -- added a lot of crunch! The only thing to know is that the spice is no joke...super spicy! Another small thing that was weird was that when I went to ask for a Togo box/bag, the lady at the front said she could only give me one? Weird since it was obvious we were sharing, what're we supposed to do with just one? Really yummy though and pretty cheap, I would go back!

Fast service. The food court location has a lot of great options. The veggie udon was super hot and seemed fresh. The Spring rolls were good, too.

100% best ramen on the fly noodle bar in NYC. Must ask for Stella, one of the owners, for incredible service and recommendations on the authentic and creative menu. Not to be missed. Icy Spicy may be my favorite, however, the Bulgogi ramen takes an equal place in my heart (/stomach) plus the sides -- sticky crispy dumplings with flavor beyond. SO, so good.

Great pho place on 32nd street in a little food mall! I love this place and go here often for mealpal lunch reservations. I also like the vibes of the employees they're so sweet

Cowboy ramen is great. Seating is in a mini mall and is quite noisy for those interested. No one over the age of 30 appears to eat here in this mini mall. Lots of kpop.

My friend and I wanted something quick to eat as we had just arrived in the city. We came across this mini market as it was close by our hotel. My friend ordered the icy noodles, tonkatsu while I have the tequila ramen. Although I didn't get to try the tonkatsu, my friend finished the dish so I must have been good enough. I found my tequila ramen to be incredibly salty served with instant noodles. However, I suppose it did the job for a quick bite. I liked my friends icy noodles as it was refreshing and subtle. Mixing her leftover broth with mine mellowed the dish enough so I was able to clear my bowl too. Overall, food was decent and am curious about other items on their menu.
