  “Ate here before a Fringe show, really good fresh-tasting food. You order from a QR code, a server comes to verify your order, then the food comes out pretty quickly. We ordered the mapo tofu with wide noodles & the spicy chicken and mushroom soup noodles. The server had told us the mapo tofu was spicy, but we’d said that was okay. Another Edinburgh noodle place had said the same thing once, and it was not spicy at all, so we did wonder if it was true… this time, it definitely was a bit spicy! I did find the sheer amount of sichuan peppercorns a bit annoying, they were getting in the way of the noodles and tofu. I’d get the less spicy version instead next time! On the other hand, the spicy chicken and mushroom soup noodles weren’t spicy at all. They had a very nice savoury, nutty broth, and the chicken and mushrooms provided a nice texture. Once finished it was a bit unclear how to pay - had seen others pay at the table but we were waiting a while so just went up to the counter. And only drawback is the area that we were seated in only had small stools for sitting on, no seats had backs. Unsure if it’s like that in the rest of the restaurant but just something to be aware of. I would definitely eat here again :)”

  “We stumbled upon this restaurant with a desire for noodles and having already looked at a couple of others, so we went for this one as we were hungry. We were very happy with our choice, it was absolutely delicious! And reasonably priced for a good big bowl.”

  “Delicious food. Very generous portions. Reasonable price. The popularity of this place speaks for the quality. I had the most wonderful aubergine here - highly recommend it. I also enjoyed their kimchi fried rice. Friendly, attentive staff.”

  “This is a very nice place to have some fresh hand pulled Chinese noodles. We got in to have a fast dinner after a long day walking around Edinburgh. We chose the pork ribs noodles, classic beef noodles, beef skewers and lamb skewers. Everything was delicious even the skewers were very fresh and didn’t taste like frozen. Looking at the menu I found some dishes a bit pricey but if the quality is this high, then I can understand it”

  “The foods are fine. Asked the staff to use less salt and oil, and they did it. Seems to be a family-run business, and it’s a friendly operation. Decor is basic. Atmosphere is casual.”

  “The noodle soup dishes are ridiculously tasty. The noodles are handmade to perfection, the broth is rich and nourishing and the veg and meats are generous and tender. Also, the service is friendly and efficent. If you'd like more broth just ask for a top-up : )”

  “The service was lightning quick. We arrived at 5:30pm on a Thursday afternoon with the restaurant almost filled. The noodle was very generous and the clear broth was superb. Dumplings and wontons were very good. The grilled lamb skewers were tasty but contained too much fat. We were seated at the smaller section which was deafening with crowds. But I guess this is a vibe of a vibrant eatery. By the time we left, a long snaking queue already formed at the entrance. A rare gem of a Chinese lanzhou noodle cuisine.”

  “A really great place! The food is delicious, the portions are very generous, and the prices are affordable. Even though it gets quite busy, you don’t have to wait long for a table, and the dishes are prepared quickly. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The pork dumplings are an absolute hit- some of the best I’ve ever had in my life! 🥟✨”

  “Popped in for a quick meal after hearing such good things about it and it didn’t disappoint. Had to queue for a few minutes (took that as a good sign!) and once seated the service was brilliant- took over the QR code menu ordering for us with 1% battery(!) and were really helpful. Food came so quickly and was really generous portions- I had the chicken and mushroom broth with noodles and shared lamb skewers (my favourite from a recent visit to China) - it was all really good. Atmosphere was great- very nice buzz of chatter. Clearly a go to place including solo people just grabbing dinner.”

  “I went to Noodle Home every day for two weeks straight, and it became a real staple for me. The ordering process is super easy: you sit down, connect to their Wi-Fi if needed, and order via a QR code on the table. It’s mostly self-serve for water, but if you have them bring drinks, they do offer an optional tip option when paying. The food is fantastic—my favorite was the beef noodle soup with extra wide noodles, cilantro, and scallions. I also tried the shrimp wide noodles, but the shrimp was a bit lacking. The vibe is quick and casual—lots of Chinese international students, so it’s a great spot to pop in and out. The broth especially reminded me of pho, which was a fun touch. I tried the lamb skewers but found it to be 70% fat so it wasn't for me and found it quite expensive for being a lot of fat. My only downside: the bathrooms were often dirty, so I really hope they prioritize consistently cleaning the toilet seats with disinfectant and that's why I gave it 4 stars. Overall, though, it’s a great value at about 12 pounds per noodle—just the food alone makes it a must-try.”
