Noodle 'N' Rice

Definitely NOT Thai. We waited 40mins for our orders and got disappointed. Pad Thai have bell peppers, bland and just became sour after sprinkling lime. First time eating super sweet Beef teriyaki soup (too diluted) and not the usual drizzled beef. Servers were accommodating but definitely the food is not worth trying.

Ordered the Chicken Wonton Noodle Soup, Bao Buns and Mango Salad. After 40 mins the food came but my noodle soup had no noodles. Waiter said he’ll check but never came back to us until we went up to him 10 min later at the bar. And all he said was someone else was checking. No idea if they were making a new one or if they were out of noodles?? Buns looked like a mess, carrots under it and not in it…? And mayo in it which I can safely say is not authentic. I am all for eateries adapting their food to the locals’ taste if they don’t claim to be authentic but the word authentic is in their menu. Mango salad was ok, can’t really go wrong with raw vegetables. When my noodle soup finally came it was really sweet with bell peppers in it which is also not authentic hahaThey were probably short-staffed today, I’ll give them that. Many people were waiting to be seated, served and many tables not cleared.Anyway I won’t be coming back. Should’ve walked 5 min down to Golden Dragon for more authentic Chinese food.

A girls night out ruined. What can I say, we thought we'd try it as it's newly opened, and in a convenient location. However, to say we were disappointed is an understatement. First, they were not aware of our reservation, which my friend had booked in person. When I finally got a table, I had to ask for a menu which we ended up sharing between 5 of us! We ordered and ended up having to ask repeatedly where our food was. They didn't check on us or apologise for an over an hour wait. When they did arrive, one was missing and it seemed like they had been sitting there for at and had been slopped into the plates..not to mention none of the dishes tasted authentic. We had ordered various noodle dishes and they were not up to our expectations. Beware: don't trust what they say. They recommended a noodle saying it was similar to Pad Thai noodles and ended up being completely different in look and spiciness level to my friend's disappointment. They also said there would be chili inside and instead it was full of black pepper! Another friend ordered Pad Thai and it tasted nothing like it. And don't even think about ordering papaya salad.. was hardly any papaya and was so spicy I had a coughing fit after trying one mouthful since I was so famished waiting for my meal! We also asked if the fruit juices were fresh - they said yes they were but they ended up tasting like they were straight of a can (all three of them: fruit punch, aloe, and coconut). They use 'stock images' on the menu so some are not even actually representative of the items so can be quite confusing! My meal arrived very late after everyone got theirs - at least 30 min. To give you an idea of time, I arrived at 7.30pm, we ordered before 8pm, enquired at 8.15pm and still hadn't got all our meals at 9pm. We had to keep chasing them (2-3 times) while we got no update and they served other customers who had arrived after us. We asked to speak to the manager around 9.20pm since I still hadn't received my meal and we were appalled by the service and food quality.. but like the serving staff, the manager just gave a bunch of excuses nor gave any apology. Luckily, we didn't end up having to pay but needless to say, we won't be coming back. Too bad as I LOVE Thai food and like to support local businesses. I'm really not sure how they already have 3 locations..Unfortunately, two nasty women at the table beside us had the gal to make derisive comments under their breath as we left, calling is 'b*t***s' 'trying it on'. First, who are you to judge when you have no idea what we experienced? Two, maybe you absolutely have no taste buds and wouldn't know 'good' food if it slapped you in the face. Third, thanks for making an already poor experience worse! Maybe you are just jealous we are younger and good looking. Either way, you shouldn't be bashing other women when you have absolutely no clue and no class.We ended not finishing our meals (mine happened to arrive just as we were fed up and about to leave). We were obviously unsatiated so opted to go to Time 4 Thai which was the BEST decision of the night. It was truly night and day.. peaceful tasteful decor and ambiance, delicious genuine thai food, respectful staff and prompt service..what more can you ask for? Not sure why places like this aren't as busy but we highly recommend! So my advice is to avoid Noodle N' Rice if you know what's good for you!

Thai green curry was amazing. The ambience was also superb.

We entered the restaurant looking for good noodles food and service , but the food tasting was not good and we did not like it . The staff are very tough and the service was below the standard . Not recommended.

Starters were cold as sitting in the dumb waiter for 10 mins as they had no clue how to organise the orders. The mains arrived at virtually same time, also not particularly hot. My bao bun was ok but beef very chewy, sweet n sour stir fry main was tasteless and not warm. Wife’s tempura veg starry tasty but very cold. Here beef n rice meal was pretty ordinary and lacked any imagination, also not warm. Wouldn’t return or recommend.

We ordered mostly vegetarian dishes. The food was very good but definitely not authentic Thai (having been to Thailand before). The tip felt a bit pushed at the end.

Waited forty minutes on food coming out salt and pepper chips were cold and had to be returned..3 small prawns in the Thai Green Curry tasted lovely though.. vodka and coke was overpriced at £6 for a very small glass.. price is good..restaurant is clean.. service very slow..

Family lunch. All plates were emptied. Lovely food. Great prices. Only one guy serving and he did a great job. Will be going back.

We have come to Edinburgh for an anniversary and we love Thai food so we thought we would try Noodle n Rice as it’s in a decent location on rose street and was very busy. We were seated pretty much straight away but immediately a table to our left was making complaints about the food. We decided to ignore it and ordered drinks and food after about 15 minutes. However, our drinks took about 45 minutes to arrive and they had forgotten my cocktail. I went to the bar and ordered bottles of beer instead and took them to the table myself. We had ordered chicken satay and veg bao buns for starter but they had ran out of bao buns so I re-ordered veg gyoza. However, when my gyoza came out they had forgotten my partners chicken satay so he was waiting for ages and my starter was cold by the time his came. The starters were pretty tasty so we decided to stay for our main course. However, the main course came about 25 minutes later and my pad Thai tasted disgusting and my partner got the wrong dish. Meanwhile, another table had complained as they had messed up their meals. We sent my partners meal back and asked them to change it to the correct meal but my pad Thai was so bad that I told them we wanted our mains cancelled and we would pay for our drinks and starters only. They blamed it on being short staffed but honestly it was just lack of organisation and poor communication skills that caused this. An absolute joke really. Would not recommend.
