Viet Noodle Bar

"The Vietnamese food at this bare-bones spot is across the board pretty good. The chicken, beef, and vegan pho options all soothe the soul, and the banh mi come on freshly baked baguettes loaded with succulent protein fillings. But there’s one standout on the menu, and it’s really what you should order every time you come—the turmeric fish noodle. Springy vermicelli noodles are tossed with cilantro, green onions, fish sauce, crunchy shallots, and perfectly cooked flaky fish that sends turmeric coursing through your sinuses. You’ll notice this dish on almost every table, and that’s because it’s delicious." - arden shore, sylvio martins, brant cox

"Intriguing red brick façade without a sign, Viet Noodle Bar is where we go whenever it’s cold or when we talk about needing to ‘eat healthier’. The ambience is inviting, with scattered books on shelves you can flip through a couple chapters while you eat or sip on their terrific Ginger Tea all afternoon. Pho on par with any LA staple, their bowls (get the turmeric rice) are a pleasant surprise and you can taste the freshness. Classy Vietnamese, dishes are simple and elegant. Beer, Wine and Sake if you go for dinner at terrific prices." - Brains on Fire

"Viet Noodle Bar has reportedly opened quietly in the former Red Herring space in Eagle Rock, located at 1661 Colorado Boulevard. The Atwater Village restaurant signed a lease for the space several months ago and had been working to do some light remodeling before opening. Expect expanded hours in the coming weeks." - Farley Elliott
