Situated in the Al Wahda Mall, Noodle House captures the flavour of a delicious bowl of steaming noodles swimming in broth that you could enjoy in the streets of Bangkok. But it replaces the smog, deafening traffic, and lapses in sanitation with chic style.
Long tables flanked by benches fill most of Noodle House, with a few booths to one side providing a decent spot for the single diner. Once seated, you can sift through a variety of fried and soup-based noodle dishes, and a few vegetarian options, buffered by various sides and appetisers. Drinks can be selected from a long list of mocktails and iced tea fusions, and the staff are attentive and patient.
An inviting bowl of chewy egg noodles, with tender slices of duck and a handful of shrimp dumplings is a recommended savoury dish. If you like a bit of heat, you can add slices of pickled green chilli and a splash of ginger-garlic sauce from a collection of condiments on the table. On the side you can enjoy the zesty ma po tofu, which is blended with vegetables in a rich sweet and sour sauce.
Noodle House is great for hungry shoppers seeking to avoid plastic trays and food court fare, as well as those in search of smart decor and a satisfying bite – have those chopsticks at the ready.
