Customer Review Summary
Portion size is the one thing nearly every reviewer agrees on, describing generous, huge servings that easily feed a hungry group, paired with food that comes out fast and hot. The bone chicken udon bowl and the chicken skewers with curry sauce draw specific praise, and several call the prices reasonable for what arrives. But a recurring complaint runs just as strong: multiple diners describe the food as overly salty or bland, and more than one reviewer reports a slimy or gooey texture, particularly with duck and chicken dishes, with one reviewer saying they felt sick and threw up after eating there. Staff are generally called friendly and quick, though one reviewer felt they seemed sparse. Opinions split sharply, with some calling the food incredible and freshly cooked and others unable to finish their plates. One diner noted couldn't eat much of the meal due to the saltiness, despite otherwise praising the portions and pace of service.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful experience at Tokyo Noodle Bar! The food was delicious, fresh, and very reasonably priced. The portions were generous, and everything came out hot and flavorful. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was great. We were visiting Liverpool and decided to give this place a try, and I’m so glad we did. Definitely worth stopping in if you’re looking for good noodles and great food without spending a fortune. We would absolutely come back! 🍜❤️”

“Good food, quick service, hefty portions. Tokyo Noodle is a good stop for those who don't want to be too spendy, whilst still enjoying a well crafted hot meal. The cuisine is primarily Japanese, with some Cantonese, and a bit of Thai dishes, and there is a fair amount of care given to flavor it towards the palate of the North of England. The dishes themselves shine in the amount of food, for the price. It will easily feed a starving crew. Sometimes, the flavors are a bit on the salty side with some dishes in particular, however this is has only been seen on busier days.”

“Food was quite bland and slimy. The service was okay, very speedy. However my boyfriends meal was very salty to the point where it wasn't edible. We feel quite sick by the food, not in a good sickness type of way but in a way that it was quite gross to eat. I heard the ramen there is good though but I wouldn't know. I wouldn't suggest going here, however some people seem to like it.”

“We didn’t know where to go and this is where we ended up as people were raving about it but it was absolutely disgusting. The food came out so quickly and we too hot to eat and the portion sizes were to feed the 5000. My duck was slimy and it was just disgusting. I threw up as soon as we left the restaurant. They say it is Japanese but it sells; Thai, Chinese and Japanese food. This was just so confusing. There was just a weird slimy texture on the chicken too. All in all absolutely vile, will never return”
