Just discovered Hom Mali the other day buying dinner for Lunar New Year and so happy with everything we tried!
The Laksa Curry Noodle Soup: 10/10 recommend! It is mildly spicy, comes with a ton of noodles (which honestly can be split into 2 bowls for 2 people) had excellent cooked shrimp, chicken and tofu nothing was overcooked or chewy just perfect. The curry was incredibly flavored I loved it, instant favorite. Must have .
The Hong Kong style soup : 9/10
It also came with enough noodles and soup to split as two bowls! flavored exactly how Id expect when ordering a Chinese style noodle soup. Comes with huge portions of pork chasu that were cooked perfectly and rendered and baby bok choy!
Also had the platter and honestly everything the spring rolls, wontons, siumai, egg roll and satay were delicious I usually am picky about appetizer platters but this one was so satisfying! Will definitely be ordering everything else on the menu

Atmosphere is average. Selection of alcohol was good but the food is subpar. I got the chicken drunken noodles and the chicken yakisoba and both of them were dry and flavorless. Very disappointing based on the location and reviews.
Looks were VERY deceiving.

This is my first visit. It’s Sunday evening and there were maybe 5 other parties dinning there. The menu is an eclectic mix of Asian cuisine, perhaps famous dishes from every country or region. Service was fast and friendly. I ordered the Hong Kong style noodle soup. While it is tasty, I have to keep reminding myself that it is in the style not the authentic Hong Kong noodle soup. The broth is tasty but I can’t quite put a finger on what the taste is. It is, however, with MSG. The Bok Choi nicely cooked and the thick cut pork belly was tasty and tender. The noodles were interesting. It is definitely in the style of Hong Kong but not quite. Overall, it was a nice meal but now I’m thirsty because of the MSG.

First of all store was empty. We are a family of 5 we decided to give it a try. To not judge even though first red flag all white seats and tables seemed dirty also the menu was stick. Looking around at the walls was dirty. They have cute decor! Food came tasted okay but not good. We really really tried to be positive ! My daughter chicken was still kind of raw. Flavor was not there ! Walked to the bathroom and got glimpse of the kitchen ! Looked DIRTY my husband paid while I took my child to the bathroom and they tipped themself and expected more tip ! Once I left the bathroom I said thank you and got completely ignored by the woman who seemed furious. Their plates and presentation of the food was very promising! The food looked good but the flavor was not there !
Once we got home my daughter felt sick! She think it was the wonton soup! She spent the evening THROWING UP ! Will never come back !

We came for dinner and ordered the mi goreng, laksa curry noodle soup, and the Hong Kong fried rice. The food was amazing and we can’t wait to come back and try more.

The Nood Bar is currently mine and my husband’s favorite restaurant in San Diego. They have a variety of food options to choose from, for Vegans, or meat eaters. It’s always hard to pick what we want to order. Everything we have ordered is delicious! Fried rice, ramen, the noodles, potsticker, curry, and more. The service is always amazing! Ping is the best waiter/ host/ we have ever encountered. My husband left the restaurant with a man crush. His friendly energy was contagious. We left the Nood Bar with a full stomach and in a great mood.

Nice restaurant. They have pretty much any Asian noodle dish from Chinese Dandan noodles to Indonesian mi goreng. It’s above concept and the dandan noodles were decent. The only thing missing was 碎米芽菜。Then it would’ve been super authentic! I loved the iced tea without sweetners. It was really refreshing. Spring rolls and egg fried rice were good, too.
It’s a great one stop shop for any noodle cravings you might have. Let’s face it, noodles are delicious and there are so many delicious specialties that I think it’s great you have Chinese Dandan Noodles 担担面 next to Japanese yakisoba or a Korean-Japanese fusion of gochujung udon. This is a great little place and could imagine would be ideal for takeaway orders as saw lots of deliveries going out.
I also saw they have anything from sake to soju and Asahi. Great little place!

The Good: affordable, casual, quaint, date night setting, quick. Waitress was knowledgeable about the food and brought our dishes out to us as they were completed. Order the curry you can thank me later.
The Bad: seating could have been more comfortable high top chairs were not to practice.
The ugly: parking and there is only one bathroom.

If you love noodles, are in San Diego, and are not sitting in this restaurant right now, what are you even doing with your life?!
All of the noodles are thoughtfully seasoned and cooked to perfection. Do you know how difficult it is to find really good wide flat rice noodles? And then to find someone who knows how to char them just enough to add the perfect smokey hint and keep them from sticking?
Have you been to Asia and you miss the food? Come here and cry sweet tears of nostalgia.
The owners are the sweetest. The service is impeccable in that true Thai warm hospitality style.
The fried rice is so good too! And the dumplings…
Just hurry up and eat here. They’re new in town and they’re only going to be a hidden gem for so long. You’re welcome. 🙂
Edit: Just tried the Gochujang Udon. Amazing balance of savory, sweet and spice!

WOW! Awesome place to stumble across while out and about in North park. The Nood Bar is brand new and still in the soft opening. I suggest you trying this place out NOW! Because when the word gets out there will be very long lines! Very clean small dining room, beers on tap and great selection. The service is excellent and the food is amazing!! The owner came out and introduced herself and she was a sweet heart. I can’t wait to see their success! Next time we go i am sure there will be a big wait. The Tangy Salt & Pepper wings were amazing! My Chicken Drunken noodles (Spicy level 9) were probably the best i have had to date! The spice rack at the table makes for perfect ultra spicing up to your own liking. My wife got the vegi/tufu Pad Thai noodles without egg.Can’t say enough positive stuff about this great place. Try it out you will not be disappointed! Sorry my photos are bad since i started eating before i remembered to take some.
