A Noodle Story - Temecula (CA)

5 /5 JANE XIAO: Tried this on a soft opening, very tasty and reasonably priced. Store is clean and fashionable. Recommend it! PS: I waited for 30 mins at dinner take out, also other customers, they kind of serve 7 customers within 40 mins, every one is waiting for a long time, I think it is tasty, but the owner should think about how to improve efficiency to shorten the waiting time.

5 /5 Kelsi Buts: This place is a solid stop! The owners definitely take pride in their cuisine. Fresh, bright vegetables, good broth, and quality meat. They have 5 main specials (“chapters”). Two dry vermicelli bowls with a killer sauces (yummy beef and garlic shrimp options), a spicy chicken soup option, chicken pho option, and a bahn mi. Also a build your own bowl or soup menu. I got the chicken pho: came out piping hot, and the chicken broth was surprisingly deep for a light broth. The vegetables were perfectly crispy. A nice hug of a chicken soup. Self serve condiment station. Tasty beverages (a Thai lemonade!? Love. Lychee lemonade is also stellar). Only con was they were out of the pho chop sticks during my visit and I used the wooden to go ones. A little different eating pho with those. Overall would return, a definite highlight in my road trip.

5 /5 Ember Blue: While walking by outside my daughter noticed flames through the window, so on a whim we decided to go in and investigate. My greatest impression was the staff. They were so friendly and helpful. Like, the most friendly and helpful that I have ever experienced at a restaurant. I have multiple dietary restrictions and my daughter is a picky eater. They created a completely custom order for us, smiling the whole way. My daughter enjoyed watching the open flames up close while the cook prepared our meal. We totally love the vibe: chill music, lots of greenery, a cute/modern mural on the wall, and lots of natural light coming in through the glass storefront. The space is clean and airy. These people love their job and make delicious food. We discovered this place by accident. And we will be back.

5 /5 Joel Parada: My wife and I recently checked out Noodle Story in Temecula, and we’re already fans. I ordered the lemongrass beef bowl with rice noodles, veggies, and tiger sauce—loaded with flavor and a generous portion. My wife went with the classic beef bánh mì, which was fresh, tasty, and packed with crisp veggies. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier, and the décor gave the whole place a fun, welcoming vibe. We’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu—so many combinations to try! Temecula just got a new go-to spot.
