Noodle Star Sherman Oaks

Noodle Star "asian noodles and bar" opened its doors 2 weeks ago on Van Nuys Blvd. across from Gelson's Market, replacing the neighborhood mainstay, Lanna Thai.

This very resonably priced, yummy restaurant has oodles of noodle dishes served with meat (chicken, pork or beef) or vegetarian. Actually their menu lists 110 different items with 100% of them priced under $10!!

For last night's dinner, my husband enjoyed the chicken noodles(spelled correctly)soup--a giant bowl filled with thick rice noodles, white meat chicken and a very tasty broth. I had the traditional Pad Thai that was loaded with shrimp, chicken, egg, rice noodles and I think some eggplant thrown in there too. Both dishes cost $7.95 each and we had plenty to take home.

There are rice dishes, pan fried noodles, salads and lots of types of soup including Chinese Noodle, Thai Noodle, Vietnamese Pho, and Japanese Udon. There is a fully stocked bar and Bobas to drink. Thai iced tea is sweet and refreshing and Noodle Star also serves fruit smoothies and non-dairy coolers.

The super friendly staff and great location make this a perfect lunch or dinner spot. I think with these prices and so many choices, this place is going to be one of our favorites.
