  “As soon as I walked in, I was welcomed by the amazing aroma of curry. The food was absolutely delicious, full of rich and authentic flavors. Every dish was well-prepared and packed with taste. I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely recommend this place to my friends. I’ll be coming back again!”

  “. As of 10/06/2026 (Lunch) Taste：6️⃣ Environment：6️⃣ Seating：5️⃣ Service：8️⃣ Portion size：5️⃣ Value for money：5️⃣ *on a scale of ten Overall Score：58 / 100 Average cost per person：£15 💖>👍🏻>🤙🏻>👌🏻>✋🏻>👎🏻 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ A hidden gem located just outside the city centre, this small family-run restaurant has been serving customers for 9 years. Owned by a Hong Kong family who have lived in the UK for many years, the restaurant is only open three days a week, and the owner and her family are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, I picked the wrong dishes again this time. I ordered the Sweet & Sour Shredded Beef with Rice, Chicken Sweet Corn Soup and BBQ Ribs. It was my first time trying shredded beef coated in breadcrumbs before being deep-fried. While everything was freshly made to order, the overall flavour was more like British-style Chinese food. Next time, I’ll probably play it safe and try the Pho, which seems like a more reliable choice. 🍜😅 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 👌🏻 Sweet & Sour Shredded Beef with Rice 👌🏻Chicken Sweet Corn Soup and BBQ Ribs 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 🅿️ Free on-street parking available outside the restaurant. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 The Noodle Shed 215 Folds Rd, Bolton BL1 2TW”

  “Second visit to the Noodle Shed and once again a cracking meal. We went for the Won Ton soup. Really large portion and quality. You can really taste the herbs and vegetables. Service, as before was top and very helpful. We will be going again.”

  “Booked a table for 2 for lunch today. Reserved a table (recommended as can be busy) . On entering we were greeted with a warm ,welcoming smile, and shown to our table. Service was swift with drinks within minutes. Order was taken shortly after. We had a shared starter and a main each. Starter was served almost immediately, fresh from the kitchen. After a short break our mains came . They were huge. We shared a Chicken Chow Mein and a Chicken and Ginger with Spring onions and vermicelli from the specials board (changes daily). Both were hot, well presented and most importantly delicious. We will be back. Because they're only open at lunch times , there is an Eat & Heat service. You order a takeaway at lunchtime that you can take home and reheat in the evening. Our bill came to £23 , and was well worth the money. Highly recommended.”

  “More local customers here. The artworks on the walls are available for sale. Food is nice - customers can pick how spicy they want. The tailor-made taste made them special. But the store is pretty small with limited seats, and not easy for parking.”

  “Not from the area so searched along the route I was taking to find some lunch when I came across this gem. Google maps doesn't take you anywhere to park so need to select one of the streets off the main Rd. The food itself was superb. Had a beef special, the meat was like butter, sauce packed full of flavour. The salt and pepper chicken wings are excellent, proper batter on them that stays crunchy while having and the veg on them. Highly recommended, will be returning when next in the area.”

  “Very nice food - no msg (I can tell as i didn't feel thirsty as you would with msg meals!) the seasoning was just right. We went in November and had chicken chow mein and wonton noodles in soup - the wontons were home made! Yesterday we went again and tried Singaporean rice vermicelli which wasn't too spicy as per our request - Another nice dish! Portions were ok. Would love to try everything we saw on the counter and on other customers tables as they looked delicious. Dining experience was good too - good customer service and very nice staff who made you feel welcome and were nice to talk to especially if you can't decide on what to eat! There were also some nice artwork items on the walls and you can buy them. Definitely will come again when I go to Bolton. By the way check out their Facebook as they post about the chef special on the day!”
