Noodle Nation

The first time I ate here I got yellow coconut curry. I almost cried eating it. This place was my introduction for Thai food and honestly it kind of ruined all the places afterwards. I haven’t found another place that serves curry that feels like a mothers hug in the way Noodle Nation does. I think the decor is also adorable, u can find the owners kids doing homework in the corner or helping out. My only thing is that is opens at 12, which means if you go to MTHS like I did you can’t come here during lunch, otherwise I would’ve gone broke senior year eating here everyday. Pad see ew and that brown broth sausage soup are also all delicious. Everything hits here. Get the Thai Iced Tea.

Noodle Nation is off of 44th Ave in Montlake Terrace/Lynnwood area in a strip mall that's next to Safeway. It's on the far corner, but whatever you do, don't miss it! What a great little place to grab some great food with good portions at a reasonable price! Once you step inside, it's like you're being taken back in time with all the collectibles/memorabilia that is everywhere you look. They don't have a lot of tables to sit at, but they were plenty busy with a steady stream of take-out orders. We are very glad to have stopped and tried this place. We will definitely be back!

Ordered Tom yum noodle soup, boat noodles, and moon toon noodle soup. My wife so so disappointed at this restaurant but I didn't think it was so bad. It is not nearly as good as the pictures look, however. This is your run of the mill 4 star restaurant. I've had some great Tom yum soups in the past (best I've ever had was from Penang crusine in nj), and this yom yum broth unfortunately cannot hold a candle. A bit too sweet, not spicy enough even at 4 star spiciness, and not rich enough. The other 2 dishes were good but unexciting. The moon toon meat was very good.

The food was decent with decent sized portions. Small place with that 'hole in the wall' feel. The decor was very eclectic. I think they were going with the vibe of Thai street food. Lots of old school American memorabilia. Even the restroom reminded me of a stop along Route 66. I liked it very much for that part. The food was tasty but nothing special to be honest. Could have been better. Prices were decent. There were 6 of us and they took good care of us. Service was very attentive. Place was clean too. Worth a visit if you're in the area and crave some Thai food.

Very welcoming spot for great Thai food! I was fascinated by the decor featuring vintage posters, Route 66 memorabilia, and lots of old cars and toys! Kept the dining area very visually interesting while our meal was prepared. I had Panang Curry and my wife had Pad Thai. We split the Papaya Salad. Had ample spice to bring a tear to my eye and a smile to my face. I really enjoyed the salad and entree. Great flavors and a delicious lunch!

Been there twice in 4 days. It’s that good. Love all the noodle and rice dishes. Friendly service and amazing decors and vibe. Perfect for group of friends or family with young kids or teenagers (yes, they might think you’re cool for taking them here.) I think it’s going to be a destination restaurant; people from across town are going to make their way here once the word gets out.

Wonton soup level 5 spiciness, May be too much to handle for some but for me was just perfect! Boat noodle very flavorful, will chose another noodle (got mamas noodle) next time just because it wasn’t as much. Calamari could use a bit more flavor, less batter and drain a bit more. Well priced and nice enjoyable atmosphere

Really yummy food! Everything we got was great, the decor was cute, service was good and prices affordable. The duck fried rice was so fragrant and savory - I realized that the oily roast duck skin is perfect for fried rice cuz the flavor just seeps into every grain. Super excellent comfort food. Definitely a solid reorder. The Tom yum soup was the perfect blend of tangy and spicy, and great with our choice of wide flat rice noodles. Lots of crunchy bean sprouts in there too. Lastly the papaya salad was very fresh and light, and I particularly liked the addition of blanched/raw cabbage and green beans which added an extra layer of crunchy textures. Super satisfying especially during warmer weather. Definitely a good Ave eat :)
