8 Noodle Bar

Disappointing. I sat for 20 minutes trying to flag down a server, but apparently, there's only 1 for the whole place. A guy sat down next to me, maybe 10 minutes after me, and even he was getting annoyed. He actually got the attention of the chef lady. I couldn't see her name, but she was short haired and in black chef coat. She was expediting at the front of the line. I mean, we didn't even get water or anything. The chef lady came over, and I realized the guy sitting next to me was closer to her from her position, but I was clearly sitting there much longer, and yet she still came to him first. On a side note, I also noticed a couple sit down after the guy next to me. In other words, it was long after I sat down, and I noticed they were already done and leaving as I was finally getting my food. So the service gets 1 star. It's just really disorganized and frustrating. The guy next to me actually gestured for the chef to attend to me. She asked if she could get me a drink and I asked if I could order because I'm ready. She hesitated like she was breaking some rule. I'm sorry, but after 30 minutes of waiting to get noticed (and she saw me because I tried flagging her down more than once), but at that point, there's no rule. Just help. Clearly, the server is overwhelmed or whatever, and the customer needs service. But still, I was patient. I ordered a Thai tea, shishito Pepper appetizer, and tonkatsu. I should have made sure but I usually ask for the Thai tea to come out at the end as like a refreshing dessert to wash down everything but they brought that out first and with the glass half full of ice. Grrr...I thought that was normally how Thai tea is served? It really didn't have that rich creamy flavor Thai tea usually has. The shishito peppers came out, and it was a nice big dish, so I was happy with the portion, but they were just ok. Could have used a little more seasoning. I was barely 4 peppers into the appetizer when they brought the tonkatsu. I'm not quite sure what the expediter lady is doing if she's not really expediting. But I took one look at the broth, and I already knew it would have no flavor because I could see all the fat floating at the top of the broth. That is why it has zero flavor. Need to render the fat from the broth. After a few bites, I sent it back. I hate sending stuff back, but this was unacceptable. I opted for the first chicken dish I could find. While I was waiting for that, I was able to finish the peppers. Timing is important. Oh,I almost forgot the Mochiko chicken. It's basically like general tso chicken or like orange chicken without the orange flavor. It was ok. I wish I was offered spicy sauce or something to kick it up a notch but it was ok. The chef lady seemed to be scolding the line cook. I couldn't make out everything they were saying, but if the chef is expediting, it's her job to make sure the dishes are on par. It's hard to be upset with such a pretty lady but this place seems to have changed drastically. The last time I was here was over 8 years ago but at that time, I was coming every other week and it was excellent. With great regret, I have to not recommend this. Everything about it just seems off. I MIGHT give it another chance but I will make sure to go when it's not busy.

I’ve been here a couple times. The shaking beef or beef chow fun never disappoint. Service is mediocre, I think I had better service sitting at the bar than being at tables but it was never bad service but the food is good. They do their best to be secluded from the casino but it’s right up against one of the major walkways. Even though it is it still has a nice light atmosphere. Under the Bansai tree is a solid drink if you like lychee. East miridian tastes like skittles if you’re into sweet drinks. Can’t go wrong with their Thai tea either. Definitely worth checking out

LOVED 8 Noodle Bar!! The food is amazing and has great service. Service was fast and very friendly. my favorite dish was the orange chicken. It has been the BEST i ever tried. Hands down to the chefs, the food is fantastic!

I would come here many times many years ago, just for the special fried rice, which was excellent. Today I tried the vermicelli which was average to below average. The pork came out cold, the egg rolls or egg roll was super small and tasteless. My server was a kind gentleman, bit not particularly attentive as it took forever to get my check. I doubt I would come back here again, just based upon on the low quality of food. The review score or rating is just above four, which means it’s on its way down. Can’t imagine it getting any better.

The food came quick, and wow it was SO good. For Vegas prices, I thought it was great. My meal was only $12. It’s a great, more nutritious option for those at the casino.
