  “Everything we had was delicious. Prawn summer rolls fresh and flavourful. Lemongrass pork skewers had a really nicely caramelised outside and the coriander dipping sauce was especially nice. I ordered the slow cooked pork noodles; would get these again!”

  “Summary - We would not eat here again. Details - We had the pork rib starters, Slow cooked Pork Noodle Bun Thít, and Cha ca noodles. The pork ribs were good but a little dry. The portion was generous. It is very messy to eat the ribs. For Pork Noodle Bun Thít, the vermicelli was good, but the fatty pork cuts were not. I usually finish the meat, but we did not finish this pork. The Cha ca noodles (turmeric fish with vermicelli) was the worst. The fish was dry, we could not taste the turmeric, and the dish was overloaded with dill. My wife picked out a large pile of dill from the bowl. See the photo of the dill pile. We did not finish this dish either. Also, they only offer one kind of gin. A bigger selection is needed. As for atmosphere, the place was noisy. The table was so small that we hit our legs on the table legs. The chairs were uncomfortable. The toilets smelled and needed some repairs. The door handles of the toilets were ready to fall off. On the positive side, the three waitresses were nice, and there were ceiling fans to circulate the air. The Hanoi beer was good. Note that we have eaten at Vietnamese restaurants for many years and have visited Vietnam four times.”

  “We chose Noya’s Kitchen after seeing so many excellent reviews online and wanted to try something different during our visit to Bath. We ordered the summer rolls, chicken curry, and bún clay, and everything was absolutely delicious. The food tasted incredibly fresh and homemade, which was a lovely surprise as so many Asian restaurants these days rely on pre-made ingredients. The service was warm, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. We sat in the beautiful garden, which was perfectly set up with plenty of shade, making it a lovely place to enjoy lunch even on a very hot day. We would 100% recommend Noya’s Kitchen and already can’t wait to come back.”

  “If I could give more than five stars, I would. Noya’s Kitchen is one of those rare restaurants that manages to excel at absolutely everything: incredible food, genuine hospitality, a wonderful atmosphere, and a level of customer care that is increasingly difficult to find. What makes Noya’s Kitchen truly special is that you are not simply served a meal, you are welcomed as a guest. From the moment you arrive, there is a warmth and authenticity that reflects Noya herself and permeates the entire experience. The food is outstanding. Every dish is bursting with fresh, vibrant flavours, beautifully balanced and clearly prepared with enormous care and attention. It is easy to understand why the restaurant has built such a devoted following. The ingredients taste incredibly fresh, the flavours are bright and distinctive, and every plate feels like it has been crafted rather than merely cooked. This commitment to fresh, seasonal and authentic Vietnamese cuisine is something repeatedly recognised by diners, and deservedly so. For me personally, however, the most impressive aspect was the way Noya and her team accommodated dietary requirements. As someone who requires gluten-free options, dining out can often feel like a compromise. At Noya’s Kitchen it was the complete opposite. The team took the time to understand my requirements, explain the menu, and ensure I could enjoy the experience with complete confidence. Rather than feeling like an inconvenience, I felt genuinely looked after. That level of care transforms a meal into something memorable. It is clear that I am not alone in this experience. The restaurant has earned widespread praise for its gluten-free offerings and willingness to accommodate different dietary needs, something that many establishments claim to do but very few achieve as successfully. The atmosphere deserves special mention as well. The restaurant has an intimate, welcoming feel that somehow manages to be both relaxed and special at the same time. Whether you are visiting for a casual lunch, an evening meal, or one of Noya’s famous supper clubs, there is a genuine sense that everyone involved wants you to have a wonderful experience. Noya’s Kitchen is the sort of restaurant people tell their friends about, return to repeatedly, and miss when they leave the city. Simply put: outstanding food, outstanding staff, and an outstanding experience. Noya’s Kitchen is not just one of the best restaurants in Bath, it is one of the best dining experiences I have had anywhere; which is why we keep coming back, again and again!”

  “Had a glorious lunch here today with my mum and it was an absolute treat from start to finish. My mum enjoyed two starters, including the fried mushrooms and spring rolls, while I had a tofu-based main with noodles and salad that came with fantastic seaweed rolls. We also had iced matcha drinks, which were delicious and incredibly refreshing. My main course was genuinely one of the best meals I've had in ages. Everything tasted so fresh and clean, with beautiful flavours that were vibrant, balanced and deeply satisfying. It was obvious that a great deal of care had gone into the food, and every bite was a pleasure. The service was exceptional. Warm, sincere and genuinely kind, the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. There was nothing forced about it; just lovely people creating a lovely experience. The restaurant had a wonderful lunchtime atmosphere, busy and buzzing but still relaxed and comfortable. The décor is beautiful, with lovely colours and a real sense of personality that makes the space feel inviting and cheerful. The value for money was fantastic considering the quality of the food and service. Combined with its excellent location in Bath, Noya's Kitchen is a true hidden gem. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for fresh, flavour-packed food and genuinely welcoming hospitality. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the nicest lunches I've had in a long time, and I'll definitely be returning.”

  “Noya’s Kitchen is easily some of the best Vietnamese food I’ve had in recent memory—holding its own even against London’s strong competition. What makes it stand out is not just the food, but the whole experience. Service is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming throughout. Downstairs, there’s a charming hidden garden space filled with greenery, with soft lighting and hanging bulbs that must make it especially atmospheric in the evening. The food is where it really excels. Everything feels fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully put together. The prawn summer rolls are light and delicate, packed with herbs and served with a perfectly balanced dipping sauce. The ribs are deeply flavoured—sticky, rich, and effortlessly tender. The mains showcase exactly what good Vietnamese cooking should be: balance and contrast. The slow-cooked pork belly noodles are rich yet clean, the chả cá noodles fragrant and herbaceous, and the cà ri gà comforting but still bright and nuanced. Across the board, you get that interplay of sweet, sour, savoury, and umami, alongside a mix of textures—crisp pickles, fresh herbs, tender meats, and silky noodles. Portions are generous, prices are very reasonable, and the fact we returned twice in one weekend says more than anything else.”

  “Honestly I had to do this review! My partner and I went to Bath for a weekend, and at some point she wanted a Vietnamese coffee. We found this little restaurant, went in, and asked if by any chance there would be a table for us just to have a quick coffee and a dessert, which the server was extremely kind about (Charlotte, if I'm not mistaken). Even though I could see that they were busy, she managed to find us a little corner. We had the coffee and left. But! We felt something... we felt that this place was genuine, like the kind of place where you'd find a mom in the kitchen cooking. So we booked for lunch the next day. And then, the magic happened! I've lived in London for the past 10 years, and living in London means you can try food from all over the world, and believe me, we do! Asian food is my go-to, Vietnamese being a good top 3. I can honestly say that this was the best Vietnamese food I've ever had in my entire life! With every bite, you could almost speak Vietnamese! From the freshness of the products to the thousands of flavors, every bite was a dream! It's £20 for a curry, but please don't let that deter you. The noodles were fantastic, and the starters were to die for. And please please, have the coffee in the end with the pandan cake, you can thank me later! The girls that served us were super friendly and kind, before we left one of them suggested for us to visit the farmers market wich we did, also a good experience. We loved Bath and we will come back, but I can honestly say the first thing I will do the next time I'm in Bath is visit this place. Thank you Noya's Kitchen”

  “Absolutely delicious. I loved the beef noodle soup, it was so flavourful with just the right amount of spice. My son said the curry was the best he's ever had! So wonderful to eat a delicious wholesome meal especially for my son who is gluten and dairy free. The staff were attentive and the atmosphere and decor is lovely. I can't wait to visit again whenever we're back in the area!”

  “Best meal we had in Bath by far, We had the vegetable spring rolls for staters, soooooo good! The chicken curry was out of this world amazing. The crispy fish curry special my partner had was fresh and flavourful. And the pandan cake was defiantly made with a lot of love and very much enjoyed. We are planning our Easter trip next year and coming to Bath again and we are definitely coming back to Noya's Kitchen. Thank you for such a wonderful meal”

  “Fantastic food in a cozy place. We had prawn rolls as starter and beef broth with noodles and meats as well as pork noodle salad. Everything was delicious, perfectly seasoned and bursting with flavours of the viatnamese cuisine. I've never tried such a flavourful pork belly to be honest. The staff was welcoming and all the way friendly during our lunch. It is recommended to book in advance, as the place fills up quickly.”
