" Have to say, after hearing the buzz surrounding this place, I was left somewhat disappointed. The flavors in the dishes seemed muted compared to what I’ve had elsewhere—and I’ve had my fair share of noodles in various Asian restaurants. While the service was polite, it didn’t quite redeem the restaurant for me. It’s a nice spot, but I likely won’t return anytime soon unless I hear some significant changes have been made. " (*Curated Review*)

" Noodle 501 has a great atmosphere, but unfortunately, the food was a little underwhelming for me. The bao buns were tasty, but the ramen lacked depth in flavor; it just seemed bland and not as authentic as I was expecting. Perhaps I just ordered the wrong dishes? The service was friendly, and I appreciate the effort, just wish the food matched that! I would consider returning to try something else. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit disappointed with my experience at Noodle 501. I heard so many great things, but I found the flavors in the dishes not as vibrant or authentic as I hoped. The staff was friendly, but it took a while for my order to arrive which is frustrating when you're hungry. I might give it another try, but it didn't live up to the hype for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the yellow curry and roti, which were solid choices! The roti were nice and flaky, but I felt the curry could have had a bit more complexity. Overall good service experience too—my server was kind and attentive. I'd likely return to try other dishes since they do have a diverse menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Noodle 501 is an absolute gem! The ambiance is welcoming and warm, perfect for a casual meal. I tried the veggie tempura and the yellow curry, and both were beyond delicious. The portion sizes are more than generous, making it great value for money. Plus, the owner is super friendly and always willing to provide recommendations. This will definitely be one of my regular spots! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Thai and Japanese fusion, Noodle 501 is definitely the place to go! The drunken noodles are packed with flavor, and the staff were incredibly friendly. I loved the cozy ambiance as well, making it the perfect spot for dinner with friends. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved my experience here! The staff were so welcoming and created a warm atmosphere. I had the green curry noodle, which was just bursting with flavor; in fact, it was so good that I can’t wait to go back and order it again! The prices are reasonable for the amount you get. A definite thumbs up! " (*Curated Review*)
