Quick info
About Noodle Bar
Noodle Bar is a Chinese restaurant on High St in Coventry, serving dim sum, noodle soup, fried rice and traditional Cantonese mains. Its big bowl deal lets diners choose their own topping, sauce, and rice or noodles, with combinations like beef and fried Japanese udon or chicken, chilli and garlic with boiled rice among the recurring orders, and the kitchen will adjust spice levels on request. Ma po tofu and a Szechuan tofu and aubergine bowl also appear regularly, alongside char siu pork and dim sum such as prawn har gow and char siu buns. A condiment bar, including chilli oil, lets customers finish dishes to their own taste. Seating is split across an upstairs and downstairs area, and orders are taken on a walk-in basis. The restaurant opens Tuesday to Sunday and closes on Mondays.

“Noodle Bar in Coventry City Centre is a great spot for a quick, tasty meal. The food comes out fast, portions are generous, and the flavours are solid. Staff are friendly and the restaurant is kept clean. A reliable choice if you’re in the city and want something warm and comforting.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truly Exceptional Food & Warm Service! 🫠 Sometimes you just need a meal that is both incredibly comforting and perfectly executed, and Noodle Bar delivers exactly that on every single level. The big bowl with beef and fried Japanese Udon are absolute perfection, featuring beautifully thick, bouncy noodles with a satisfying chew, paired with incredibly tender beef and crisp, fresh vegetables, all tossed in a rich, savory smokey sauce. 🫠 What makes the experience even better is the wonderful atmosphere created by the staff, who are incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive from the moment you walk in. On top of that, the kitchen is unbelievably efficient, the service is lightning-fast, and a steaming-hot, massive bowl of food arrives at your table in what feels like just minutes. It is the rare kind of place where top-tier, soul-warming comfort food meets genuine, speedy hospitality, and I honestly couldn't recommend it more! 🥢✨”

“Easily one of my favourite restaurants in Coventry. Food is great value, especially the big bowls, and I love that it has something for everyone. Vegetarian items are clearly labelled. Even my friends who are picky eaters love Noodle Bar! Every time I come here I get the Szechuan tofu and aubergine bowl with rice.”

“This restaurant is considered decent. But the google reviews brought my hope up. The rice was too sticky.”
- Steve Wilkes
“Wow, what a huge bowl. Delicious food here. Choose the big bowl deal and you will not be disappointed. You can choose the topping, the sauce, and then the rice or noodles. Great value, and freshly prepared, tasty, customisable, bliss.”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the big bowl, where they choose a topping, a sauce, and rice or noodles, and describe the portions as huge enough that leftovers go home in a container. Specific favourites include the beef bowl with fried udon, the chicken, chilli and garlic bowl, the ma po tofu, and the Szechuan tofu and aubergine bowl. Close behind, one long-time diner praises the char siu pork, along with dim sum such as prawn har gow and char siu buns. The chilli oil at the condiment bar draws praise, and several mention fast service, friendly staff, and clearly labelled vegetarian items. The complaints are small but concrete: one reviewer found the tables really sticky, and another thought the rice was too sticky and felt the restaurant fell short of the online reviews. One diner who arrived mid-afternoon was seated downstairs because the upstairs room was full, and still called the food really good. Several mention that spice can be dialled down on request.
