" So glad I tried this place out! The noodle soup soothed my cold and the spicy options really hit the spot! The staff were accommodating, and I liked the feel of the place. It's a bit loud, which can be distracting, but the food compensates for it. I'll be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I come here frequently. The chicken curry rice bowl has been my go-to for months! The staff recognize me and that makes for a great personal touch. I enjoy the overall vibe and will keep recommending this place to everyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lao Wang offers a great selection and the noodle dishes are fantastic! However, I find that the portions can be on the smaller side. The bao buns are a must-try, especially the fried tofu option. Friendly service makes the experience positive! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried this spot after hearing friends rave. For a noodle place, it’s a hit! The curries are quite authentic, but I wish they would offer more side options. The atmosphere can be a bit loud but suits the college crowd. Happy with my meal overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love the atmosphere here! It's buzzing with energy, and the food from Lao Wang never disappoints. Tried the sweet and sour chicken today and it was phenomenal, the staff is also quite friendly. Definitely a spot I'm returning to frequently! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ramen could use a bit more kick, but overall a solid dish. The chicken buns are where it’s at though! The staff was super helpful, and I enjoyed the open-air setting. Would consider coming back despite the ramen. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pork belly bao and wow, it was delicious! The flavors were spot on, and it felt really authentic. The only downside was that I found the seating a little cramped during peak hours. Overall, I highly recommend this place for a quick, tasty meal. " (*Curated Review*)
