Club Noodle

If you like actual food, this is not the place you are looking for. I knew it was a pan-​Asian fusion place before I walked in, but I expected the food to be at least as good as generic Chinese American food. It was not. I was so disappointed.

Unfortunately this restaurant doesn’t know if they want customers or not. They may or may not have lunch or not they may or may not have private parties. OH WELL I may or may not call again.

3 stars because they don’t serve phở or a lot of the rice plates anymore :(Makes me question, what am I supposed to order? Lol. I really loved their phở, but now that they barely have much on the menu I haven’t gone there since. Also, there’s this older waitress who bugs me because I feel so rushed every time I am there. I get seated and she’s already asking me if I’m ready to order, lol. A couple of minutes later, she comes back and asks if I’m ready now, and I’m like sheesh give me some time lol. Anyway, there was some good food on this menu and it has potential, but the location is horrible :(. I love the cashier up front though, she’s always so cool.

No more rice plates, no more phở. :(Should be changed to Club Chinese.

I love this place. I live right around the corner and feel like it took ages for them to renovate the building to open, in fact it was gonna be CALnoodle or something for a bit then they changed the sign. When they ended up opening i was super excited to try a new lunch spot in the neighborhood.
Upon entering, the décor is fantastic. The place is very clean and has decorative art and sculptures in their ‘lobby/​waiting area’ and all over the walls. They also have disco style lights set up everywhere, and LED’s as it’s a bar/​karaōke place as well, i am assuming at night when i never come by here. But it’s fun and my daughter loves the lights shining and spinning while we eat. They also have a few large TV’s hung up around playing music videos and sports and what not.
I have tried a lot of the different lunch specials, however hands down the most amazingly delicious thing i cannot help getting every time now is their ‘curry chicken’. The pork fried rice is also quite amazing and sometimes i just come here to get take out rice to have with my dinner at home. They are very kind about substitutes and making your order the way you would like it, even if that isn’t what it shows on the menu, which is a huge plus as a lot of restaurants are not so easy going about that.
As far as the dwindling hours, why give low reviews because your availability doesn’t match that of a clean, friendly, responsive restaurant with delicious food? Maybe they are haters, because regardless of their short lunch hours, the place is great. Also, for what it is worth, I asked them today about the hours, and they simply explained that they do private parties in the evenings/​weekends. Obviously, the restaurant is going to make more money on large lavish private parties than weekday dinner diners, and that makes good business sense.

My grandma, boyfriend and sister go here all the time. Love it :) their hours are a bit weird but their staff is great. Very friendly and attentive girls.

Just had lunch here. It is only open until 2pm now. They no longer have any Vietnamese food on the menu, only Chinese. Seriously disappointed about that. The food was ok but i don’t see how they will be able to compete with Hong Kong house which is practically in the same complex. The employees are friendly and my 6 coworkers all ordered different lunches and thought they were good. With no Vietnamese food on the menu and such limited hours, i think they will have a struggle to survive.

I really like the phở here, and a month or two ago, I would have given this place 5 stars. But what the heck is with their hours? They’ve slowly reduced their hours to almost nothing. They used to be open late, as you would expect. But now? A karaōke club/​bar/​late night place that’s only opened 10am — 2pm and not open at all on Saturday or Sunday??? I did come one night when they said they’d had a family emergency and had to close early. That’s one night though, these are their new hours. Seriously, what gives?
If this keeps up, Club Noodle won’t be open any hours… very disappointed as the food is good, the staff is friendly, and they’re close to my house.
Update:
Oh, and to the person who apparently thinks I’m a hater for giving them a lower review… they’re only open 4 hours a day! And some of us work during the day and so can’t go for lunch. They’re not open for dinner, drinks, karaōke night, whatever. They’re a restaurant and a bar. Tell me how it makes sense that they’re not open for dinner or on the weekend. If I can’t go and it’s because they’re only open from 10AM — 2PM, that’s ridiculous.

The rare beef Phở tastes delicious! Has a lovely broth, thin sliced and lean beef, all the extras served in a very pleasant setting. There is a bar area, tables and booths. Service is friendly and helpful. Very clean.

I came here for the first time last night. The atmosphere was very nice and mellow. The wait staff was very friendly and spoke very good english unlike other viet phở shops. I had their combo phở c1 small. It was flavorful to me i didnt add anyother condiments except for lime sugar basil and bean sprout. There was an older lady there she looks young im assuming she was the owner she came to check on us and gave us complimentary house garlic peanuts which was delish but kind of salty. My sisters put it in their phở lol. We also ordered their shrimp skewer which I found it to be delish and crunchy i ate every piece of that shrimp. They have a bar there so if youre feeling a need for a drink its right there for you. They also have karaōke after 9pm. I would come back here for that another day.

My husband and I eloped and wanted to have the small gathering for friends and family to celebrate. So having been to this restaurant before, I thought this was a great space to reserve tables for a party of 25. The owner, Linda, was so helpful and very accommodating to our wants and needs. We put a very reasonable deposit down to reserve our seats.
Linda said she would have a cake table for us. What I DIDN’T expect was this lavishly decorated table! You can tell she put some real love and care into it! I couldn’t have asked for a better venue.
We wound up with quite a few more guests than we anticipated, but there was absolutely no issues! We had separate tabs for everyone and we were never made to feel like it was a hassle or that it couldn’t be done. Everyone was served promptly. They even let us get pretty obnoxious with the karaōke machine without any objections.
Looks like we have found a new home for our get togethers! I will be coming to reserve our table for our annual girls Christmas gift exchange too! Thank you for your hospitality!

Got introduced to Club Noodle from a co worker. It was a cold day and I wanted some Phở to warm me up. I ordered the C1 which is the combination phở. Came with the usual items which are rare steak, tripe, beef balls, tendon, and more steak. They also brought out the extra items of bean sprouts, limes, basil, and jalapenos. What I like about the phở was the soup because it didn’t taste too salty at all. The veggies they provided looked and tasted fresh. Service was good as the servers refilled waters, took our order, and brought out our food. I will definitely be back.

I’m in love with this place. Walk in too nice and comfortable decorations and was greeted by a nice hostess.
Of course I was extra excited by the music playing in the background… KPOP!
The bar was well stocked and the food was prompt. Me and my friend enjoyed an incredible meal.
The only reason why I didn’t give it 5 stars was because the meat proportions were kind of small.
Customer service= incredible
Ambiance= awesome
Food= yum!
Wish it was open late!

Super happy with this place.
Easy to get to and open late!
Food was great and HUGE portions.
Easy quick fix for when your craving noodles.

I am beyond disgusted by this place. If you see lower I was raving about it a while ago.
I was greeted by a wonderful waitress, who was wonderful. She’s probably the only reason they get one star, and the food was decent.
As we were having dinner, business partner, and myself. We noticed a couple of slutty dressed women at the bar. We figured it’s Friday night, whatever. Little did we know, those slutty dressed women were «staff.» One approached me and my partner dressed in a crop top shirt and extra tight pants. She presumed to lean over our table with her boobs half out. She walked away and we are glad she didn’t come back. There were 4 of them to make matters worse, we watched them argue about who gets what table and people walked in.
As if those women weren’t enough, every «staff member» was drinking on the clock. Horrible for business. It seems as if there is some kind of underground thing going on through the restaurant.
Now to make matters worse, as we entered for dinner we were «greeted» by four men who were sitting directly outside of the door smoking their cigarettes. Now that I’m used to, what bothered as I was leaving and headed to the restroom I was hit with this strong scent of marijuana. Now being in this day that’s normal. I thought it was a customer. As I left the restaurant, and opened the door i witnessed the chef and a few of the «staff» passing around a blunt. How disgusting. Don’t go. Don’t waste your time, and your money. Something fishy is going on there and what it is I haven’t found out yet. I will never be back.

So…
Was I the only person that had trouble finding this place? It’s pretty much hidden. If I didn’t come here with some people before I wouldn’t have found this place, it was pretty hidden, google had me drive around but I was sure I was close by. First time I came here was with a group of friends. I was drunk, and the food taste amazing. Second time I came here I was sober… So this review is base on a sober Diana.
Club Noodle is a Chinese/​Vietnamese restaurant. I wanted to order the Spicy Beef Phở which was out. Okay, that’s fine give me a Seafood Phở, No? That was out too. Okay, I’ll just get the special beef phở. It was good but pack with MSG. How did I know? After 2 minutes of eating that phở I got crazy thirsty. Knowing how my body reacts to MSG, I know for a fact they didn’t just sprinkle some MSG they pour that sh*t in their broth. The broth is good don’t get me wrong I just can’t handle the MSG.
I also order the calamari which was the reason I came here the first place. The calamari was as good as the last time I remember and lemonade soda I had wasn’t good at all which I was disappointed.
Club Noodle blasted music all night and they do karaōke as well.
The waitress was very helpful and quick with our drinks and our food. Service was on point. Food was good, hopefully next time I don’t get that MSG reaction

The next big thing in Rosemont. This is definitely the spot to go. Thai tea. Egg rolls. Phở.

This place is the bomb! Great food, drinks are on point, and the servers are super friendly! More people need to check this spot out on the late night! This was just what the doctor prescribed, that Kung pao, some curry chicken, and white rice!

This place was shockingly good! So much better than hoa viet down the street.
I ordered beef ball and tendon phở bowl size small and it was very delicious.
Honestly, I’ve tried lots of phở places and those places always employ your typical Asian employees where it’s the older ones that don’t really speak English, but this place employs other ethnicities. Good to see some change.
Since, I work down the street I would love to come here for lunch.
The food was very flavorful and I’m excited to try the other food items.
Place is very spacious and have lots of room. It was very clean and they have a bar and it’s currently all shots right now. $ 8 a shot. I didn’t get to check the bathroom though. A good waiting area. Very nice and heavy decorations of Chinese décor.

Called club noodle. Viet and Chinese food. Trying Chinese food today. Pretty good for the area.
