The open kitchen concept ensures every dish is freshly wok-fired to order, filling the air with intoxicating aromas of garlic, ginger, and spices. It’s a sensory prelude to an exciting meal ahead.

The menu bursts with enticing options that celebrate bold, deep flavors and textures.

Meat lovers will delight in dishes like the Saucy Chicken Bites, where crispy tempura chicken is enveloped in your choice of mouthwatering sauces, or the Wagyu Beef Gyoza, featuring tender, flavor-packed Japanese-style dumplings that melt in your mouth with every savory bite. Warm, soft Burmese Naan served with a curry lime and cilantro dipping sauce is the perfect side to complement any entree.

Got kung pao noodle box. Box is really full. Saucy and got enough kick for the hot ver. Really good for the price. Lots of parking and seats.

Conveniently located at Uptown Mall making it accessible by personal & public transportation; this makes for an excellent dine-in or take-out for noodle lovers. Everytime I come to Victoria (although there are Noodlebox is Vancouver that I rarely go to) I make a stop here. Why? Like I mentioned it convenient to get to; the food is fresh and only cooked over a fire once ordered (no heat lamps). They will also allow you to swap noodles if you'd prefer a different noodle than what is in the description of the specific dish. The restaurant is always clean with music that is not too loud or too quiet. They even serve some adult drinks (beer). The only reason they are losing a star is because I believe they've toned it down on the level of "hot" and the amount of protein in each serving. Makes me wonder why I'm still paying about $15/dish

I went to noodle box for the first time, I am not from the island, I have to say I enjoyed the food very much! The service was fantastic. Staff was super nice and I had a very good experience there. Food was very good, full flavors, presentation was good too! I would highly recommend people to try this if they are in the area and want some good noodle dishes. They are located in a plaza/strip so there is parking out front and also behind the restaurant as well.

I wanted to thank Noodle Box Uptown for their outstanding customer service. They went above and beyond to rectify an issue I had. They were all so kind and gracious and understanding. Not only is my dinner tonight AMAZING, but the quality of service they all demonstrated is hard to come by. I cannot thank them enough. I would recommend this location ten times out of ten. And I will absolutely continue to support this restaurant for the foreseeable future. Thank you. To all the staff and management.

Have been eating here regularly for a few years. Usually really tasty, but when Yash cooks your meal, WOW! He is passionate about his cooking and you can tell when you take your first bite. He makes the best Crispy Shanghai Chicken Box, and it’s always exactly the same!

The pad Thai was delicious! And all my many dietary allergies were accommodated: free of gluten, dairy, legumes. Very grateful for and impressed with the service and quality!

Pad thai was good considering the price. For less than $20, get a full meal. Interior was cool, staff were friendly. The water fountain with the rocks was pretty asian. This location much better than the Vancouver Noodle box. Also the mild spice is just black pepper (not spicy at all). I would be skeptical about the 1 star ratings below. Not sure who are the weirdos who are feeding this to their toddler or wondering why there's no fresh mango: this place is fast food for under $20, not a 5 star restaurant. This is a normal asian fast food location. They definitely deliver what's expected.
