My housemate brought back a menu from Thai Inter and it got me craving thai / noodle soup. I bought some from the Vietnamese noodle bar when it first opened and it was that gloopy chinese style stuff, not impressed! There seem to be loads of noodle places on London Road / Eccy Road so do any of them sell nice soup? Thin stuff, not gloopy...
Taaa.
:)

Try this receipe

350g dried or fresh egg noodles
1.2 litres chicken stock
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tsp Sesame oil

Bring stock up to the boil,add noodles,soy & Sesame oil.Simmer for 20 mins

Go for a meal at Baan Thai

Pho68.

(What the pho?? It said my message was too short so I added this)

East One noodle bar, off west st in the West one complex.

menu on their website.

It is great in there, lovely freshly cooked food-and really quick service. The noodle soups have a thin soup with lots of noodles and veg/meat. keeps you going for ages!

Tim Po, te Chinese restaurant, opposite the Schlolar (scholar is formerly the R n R bar / hermitage) do a fantastic soup and noodle bowl.

You can have meat, or soya meat, or just vegetables in it, but it is delicious. it's about five and a half/ six quid, and very filling.

Noodle Inn. Get the soup (thin) with three roasties for £6.50. It's packed full of Chinese people and when you taste the food, you know why.

Yep I second that- Noodle Inn is the place. Avoid the Vietnamise Noodle Bar at all costs! Its greasy, gloopy and fake. And whatever I order i seem to get something that tastes like sweet n sour.

ANY East Asian restaurant.

My favourite is the "shredded roast duck with preserved veg in a vermicilli soup". If you say noodle, then the staff may just give you any type of noodles they have on offer. So sometimes you have to be specific in what type of noodle you want.

Some examples of the type of noodles you may get:
(Thin) Rice noodle/Vermicilli

(Flat) "Hor Fun" Rice noodle / Pho

Thin stuff => rice vermicilli
gloopy => hor fun or udon etc...

Recommend the Noodle Inn too! Order noodle in soup and and you won't get noodle in gloopy thick sauce. However not sure if they do Thai noodle soup (i.e. with lemon grass and lime leaves etc) or just Chinese ones. Wagamama is opening soon though and I know for definite that they have a Thai style vermicelli in soup it's yum!

bann thai is very nice. good portions too

I've never found the soup to be of a high quality at Noodle Inn, I would second the recommendation for Pho68. It's very thin and refreshing.

Noodle king. Amazing.

must admit I'm fond of Noodle Inn's crispy pork noodles. Noodle Inn's portions are very generous too - enough for two really.

just off West Street there's a Chinese cafe called Harmony and that serves inexpensive large noodle soup, not all that great food as a whole to be honest but it's hard to go wrong with noodle soup and it's an option if you're round that area.

glad Tim Po has started up again, that used to be a great place to eat.

best value place used to be the China Cafe on London Rd, but it shut down in 2005 I think. If you were regular went most nights and weren't too fussy, they'd give you dry noodles or noodle soup plus tea for only £2, great price for a full sitdown meal.

Baan Thai's good - but the Vietnamese Noodle Bar (The one with the silver sign not the other one) on London Road is very good :D

We love Noodle inn great value for money and always very busy great place. Try the salt and chilli king prawn though amazing.

This place is so much better than the vietnamese noodle bar.
