Wok-fired Asian street food. Noodlebox’s bold dishes start with premium ingredients, because we believe real food is always at the heart of great food. Every meal is made to order and highly customizable, providing easy options for gluten friendly & vegan diets. Real food, made fresh, with fire.
Fast and friendly and never had a bad meal. One of my favorite places to eat here.
The food is always amazing. Friendly service. My nr 1 go-to for takeout! I love how all boxes are customizable.
The 2 young Sikh gentlemen that served us were sublime and super skilled( I watched the cooking process intently). They both were very friendly. Manager even comped some appetizers for kindness. I highly recommend this restaurant.
First time here and would definitely come again. Food was super fresh and tasty, and liked how I could customize the dish! The staff were friendly and efficient, and everything was super clean.
Good place with good food. I enjoy the Thai styled Chow Mein with Bbq pork. And the Burmese Naan and dip are sooo good
Every time I have been to Noodle Box, I have never been disappointed. Greeted by staff, usually, our Noodle Box Chef there. Lovely young man very busy, but always a smile and a hello how is your day. Food has never disappointed either, great value for money and full of taste. I have been to a number of Noodle Box's on the Vancouver island, but this location is our favorite. Employee attitude is great and expert cooking every time.
Where do I begin…… the noodle box company doesn’t realize the cook they have on their hands! A HUGE congratulations to JORDAN C. for not only gaining me as a customer but deleting by skepticism about this fast food fusion restaurant! He knocked it out of the park with the black bean noodle dish! I hope that the noodle company pays you well… and appreciates your skill??!! If they don’t… I’ll come back and steal him away for my own restaurant! Thank you to the NOODLE BOX in port alberni, for the excellent service and fresh flavours.
Gotta admit i was pretty excited to see a Noodlebox in Port Alberni. Dinner couldn't come soon enough. Ordered a chili plum with pork via the app. App is easy to use. My chili plum, medium heat, was ready in 10 minutes. A friendly smiling face greeted me and served my order. It was so good! Love the chili plum box. So much meat and veggies - very pleasantly surprised! Heat was good, could have been a little spicier. Sometimes a medium heat will get my nose running and my tongue tingling. Not so much this time. Still tasted amazing. Loved it. This Noodlebox will be a regular meal for me when I'm in town. Highly recommend.
Good food , will come again
Spicy Peanut is my go to always, and it came out fresh and hot. Service was lovely as well!

Great service and especially love the fried rice definitely 10 times better then one I have ever made at home
Absolute horrible Couldn t even eat the PadThai A whole 4 prawns $5 Will never go again
Great food and friendly staff! This place will be top on our list when we come back!
Best thai food in town! Great taste and great value! Big thank you to the chefs in the kitchen for making delicious pad thai!
A quality experience at this location. Fresh, hot, well-cooked tasty food with quick service!
Great food. Nice Service. Was here twice at one day. Fresh vegetables!
The portions are very large. The vegetables are very fresh and plenty of vegetables are used. The taste was excellent and the value for money was excellent. Vegetarian options: There are many vegetarian and vegan dishes available.
Got my bowl only half full. More sauce then noodles. Wasn t worth the $22 I paid. Won t be going back
Such good food
This place always has a welcoming feeling, love the two guys that always help me. The teriyaki chicken is mine and my daughters, favourite meal and they always do an outstanding job. Love them my favourite place in Port Alberini!.
Food was looks good but tast s not that good. And we felt that it s not properly cooked.
Food was good, great service. Would recommend :)
Great spot for lunch next to the tesla supercharger!
I enjoy the ginger beef box and the hoiikken noodles. Speedy good service and a super clean inviting environment. Best noodles in town.
Great customer service and food
Great staff!!! great service . portions are good and flavours are great
Love the thai chow mein with bbq pork with a medium heat to bring out the flavours. Burmese naan bread and dip are a fave side. Nice people, good atmosphere and always a good stop! Food
Great food never disappointed with any of the dishes and really fast service as well definitely one of my favourite places to go out and eat
Great food
Always consistent and one of my favourite fast food places.
Its great food and service everytime i come, front desk is always polite and quick to help. Have never been disappointed coming here.
Great food and fabulous staff! Would highly recommend coming here and trying the Black bean & garlic box!!
Ate here today the food was really good with great options but best was the service the two guys serving us were really helpful and super friendly. Would highly recommend
Delicious noodles and amazing coconut shrimp. I love the way you can customize your main dish with different noodles and proteins. The manager was also really nice and very helpful.
Service is always great and the food is always packed with flavour. Highly recommend.
Awesome Food, Great Service, Consistent and Super clean as always.
awesome people, very professional service. great food
Great service, friendly staff and delicious food!
Great location. I eat there once and a while. I did on the last visit leave my wallet and the manager took it onto him self to hand deliver it to my door a day later. Now thats good old fashioned high quality service.
I have tried many locations of noodle box in lower mainland and port alberni one is by far the best one! The manager catered to our needs and food was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend this location for mouth watering food experience!
great food, good service
Got food delivered and it was really disappointing :( super dry chicken that turned to mush in my mouth, cold/not fully cooked noodles, and somehow there was almost no flavour. I wasnt expecting Worlds Best Cuisine , but I was hoping for better than that. Had a few bites of the cardboard (food) before I decided it really wasnt worth trying to force down.
Pre ordered food, on their app, for pick up at 610. When I arrived at 6:15 thru haven t even started it yet. We ordered hours a head of time. On top of that they messed up our order. Yet again. We will not be back.
Had an amazing experience at this noodlebox. We ordered 4 noodles boxes and the guys were quick to get to work. They were absolutely amazing at making the food. Their names are Anil and Gagan, definitely check this place out!
Fine. Good food Parking: Lots of free parking. Wheelchair accessibility: Has wheelchair access
Been going here for months and so far my experience has been amazing. The staff is extremely courteous, the service is quick and exceptional, and the food has always been on point and scrumptious. Would definitely reccommend. Food
My all time go to for my lunches! Great service, very tasty food, and always filling. Orders are always correct and on time. Five stars all around
I recommend trying the Yanghzou fried rice box!! You wont be disappointed and you will be full
They re-opened the kitchen for us when we showed up close to closing! Food really hit the spot.
Im not sure what happened. If maybe new owners? The last three times we have went, our orders were wrong or inedible. One time they overfilled one bowl and added the overflow to our other order, which was completely different. It was bizzarre. Really disappointing because Noodle box was big in our household for years, but not anymore.
Great flavors, but way too saucy. I even added chicken to my order and still had to look for it in all the sauce. Half the sauce would still be saucy enough.
Good Food
I ordered chicken teriyaki with rice. Which is my usual order. Found peanuts in my lunch which I have never had in my order before. Waited almost 20 minutes for my half hour lunch break. Food was nice and hot at least. Little too much sauce as it was quite sloppy with not enough rice. Dont recognize anyone in there anymore so possibly new owners??
Grab noodles for here or to go, right off the highway, perfect on the way to tofino! The boxes are effing huge so eat some there and take the rest to go. The crew in here are always super happy and friendly and why I come by regularly as a tofitian! Cheers noodle box crew
Worst experience most of the time I call 1hr to 1hr and a half before close to order butter chicken for take out and its always the same girl telling me they are getting ready for close and are out of rice and do not want to make more or they dont wanna cook my nan bread and when I go to pick up my food everyone working that night looks mad and are not friendly what so ever and when I take my food home to eat it the chicken dose not taste cooked or just tastes off and I have gotten food poisoning more then once thought I would give them a chance but definitely a place not to go to after 6pm and I never write reviews but feels the need to let people know
Gave up after being told for the 5th time 1hr before closing they wont make more rice for the dishes or cant make dishes as there cleaning up for night 1hr and up to 1 5 hr before closing. They did offer to make my butter chk with noodles lol. Beef was good first few times then past few times its shoe leather there has been AMAZING service here but half time there one girl that seems upset or just want go.home 1. To 1.5 hr early
I walked in, was greeting by all the staff. My order was taken promptly. It was made fast and tasted delicious
I have been to a few noodlebox before and this by far is the highest quality and freshest I have experienced. Delish and much care put into service and preparation
Had to try, didnt like
Food is always great, and friendly staff. Obsessed:)
Very friendly and welcoming. Courtney that works there is awesome. Parking: Lots parking space!
I love the food and people here, one of my favorites
Good food, great portion sizes!
Love the food- especially the teriyaki box and spring rolls
Super excited that port alberni had a Noodlebox!!!!!
Ordered from this location off door dash, had a bit of a mix up with some of my food not making it in the bag. I have to appreciate the amazing customer service from these guys, super accommodating and very friendly. Knew exactly what was going on when I called in. Amazing food, great tasting and big portions. Very happy with the service I received from them, even when I looked grumpy going to the location to pick up the missing items. Sorrry just a hungry pregnant gal craving your food lol Thanks again!
Super nice staff who are friendly and awesome air conditioned clean environment! As always, great food that packs a lot of heat (depends on your order)! Recommended! Oh and also, the portion is huge!
It would be nice if the door wasnt locked and staff done for the day by 7:40 pm. Please dont have your website advertise that you close at 8pm if that is not accurate.
Delicious as usual, though I ordered medium-hot and honestly had an out of body experience with my first bite. I think the staff were trying to kill me with the amount of chilies they put in.
Excellent food at a reasonable price, which is rare these days.
Very decent food, but I always order through DoorDash and pay extra for double sauce but multiple times they have not put double sauce. Or if they have then they must use a stingy amount, very good but very dry
Good food, good portions, and good service. I ll be back.
If you like this food you have no sense of taste, or of what decent food is. Absolute garbage. Just throw your money away, at least it is more healthy. Did I say the food is awful?
Ok
Healthy and fresh. Friendly staff.
Always consistent and awesome, I love having one in town. These other bad reviews are front people who dont realize what spice actually can do. If you cant handle the heat order your food MILD or less.
Was in here June 30th, 2022 fifteen minutes before closing and the place was empty and spotless, I felt bad ordering right before close but the staff were all super friendly and didn t mind cooking for 1 more person before the holiday. Food was excellent, also thanks for letting my girlfriend and her friend use the washroom. I forget his name, but the young really fit guy who cooked my meal really went the extra mile and I ll make sure I stop in here next time I m in town. But the other cook and 2 ladies working the front were all amazing as well. Hopefully noodlebox treats this staff to something for being hero s.
Tried them for the first time today, prices were a little higher than we expected. As they say the proof is in the pudding, the food was excellent very fresh, very tasty. Well definitely be back.
i ordered the butter chichen at 15$, got served a giant portion that could easily be worth 20$ elsewhere. the only small portion was the naan and even then, it was plenty
Best thing about this place is the fresh vegetables that go in to the noodles and rice dishes. Portions are large so consider sharing. Would recommend they flavour the Singaporean noodles a little bit more, it lacked seasoning, but the Thai flavoured noodles and the teriyaki noodles were amazing!
It was delicious
Lovely! Amazing! Good price! Great food! Be warned that spicy meals SPICY! If youre not sure always get mild just to be safe
Always delicious and its always ready when I arrive. Great atmosphere and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
honestly nothing Ive gotten from here has tasted good, food is passable at best. really wish I had ordered from anywhere else because it just left me hungrier somehow.
Love this place great service and great food
Unreal food, staff was friendly
Delicious! So happy to have one in Port!
Great food and friendly staff !
Great option in Port Alberni! We shared the ginger beef, butter chicken and spring rolls, with medium spice. The service was quick and the dishes were excellent. Look forward to trying some other menu items next time. Portions are well sized and overall good value. Everything was very clean and COVID protocols made the entire experience totally enjoyable. We will be back.
Pretty good food but you pay for it. No frills noodle shop trying to be upscale. A nice stop once in a while.
Great fresh food at a decent price
Support Local Business Tour Great noodle and rice , and place was extremely clean and staff was very attentive. Keep up the good work!
Food is always good, staff is always nice. Cant beat it. Great spot to grab a bite to eat, or get it to go and enjoy delicious food anywhere.
Very tasty, good size and friendly service! Keep up the great job.
Scorching hot was way too hot to be enjoyable. I asked for a glass of water and that was refused saying we dont do that here. Bought pop but still way too hot and also drank from my water jug from my car. Girl working at the counter a little too new to the work force to be considerate about the situation or understand the food industry. Will not be giving this company my business again.
Great food and service.
Always a pleasure to have a meal from here. Great workers. Always go back.
Was awful. Chicken was nothing but panure, beef was chewy like gum.
Above restaurant quality, in takeout form factor. Rarely write a review, thoroughly impressed.
I really enjoyed my meal.Great menu options and fresh ingredients.
This is the best Noodlebox! Way better quality and consistency than most of the Vancouver or Victoria locations.
Consistently awesome boxes! Never disappointed.
Aspen very professional and customer service and very professional preparing my order to presentable to the customers her outfit was clean and tidy comes to work with a nice smile I totally recommend keeping this employee
Staff was rude cook handled order with no gloves ! was gross because he grabbed a handful of peanuts and threw them in my box !..everyone looked miserable and the food was not worth the 40 bucks it cost ..Overall experience 1 star is to many.
Rice is not cooked properly. Too chewy Whole bowl is covered with sauce only. Could totally tell that the Meat was tenderized with baking soda . You cannot tell it was meat or flour as it was Deep fried in heavy oil.
I have tried almost all the food and I can honestly say I love them all, you can have it as spicy as you want. the last two times I have got more noddles and veggies then I gotten meat. the staff are rude he served three people that came in after I did. when I pointed it out to him he told me not to come back.
I ate at the Port Alberni Noodlebox tonight and was very satisfied by the service, food quality, and taste. I have now eaten at every Noodlebox location on Vancouver Island and must say, this location is by far the best when it comes to service, flavor, and food quality. Thank you for providing an excellent meal, I will definitely be a regular customer at this location and I will be recommending you to everyone I know in town. If you are considering trying their food, you will not be disappointed!
So happy this place opened in town, I used to eat at the original food cart and first location in Victoria. Went last night, food was fantastic, and the staff was impressive in their ability to handle the we just opened dinner rush. Great work, we will be back often! Oh, and theyre not messing around with the heat, approach with caution.
Took too long to make my food and they didn t even make it right
Didnt get to try the food, waited at the counter and was not acknowledged, embarrassing, walked out. 2 gals at counter talking to each other, another person went in after we left & was served immediately! I dont think Ill return :-/
Love Noodlebox! Nice to see in Port Alberni.
Loved the friendly staff and quick service however my dish lacked any flavour. Knowing that you have just opened I will try again another day. I ordered the spicy thai peanut with chicken amd zucchini noodles mild. Ive had this same dish at several other locations and know what it should taste like. Someone isnt making the sauce right and it lacked any peanut taste also I only got 3 pieces of chicken in my dish. Hopefully this isnt taken as negative but constructive.
Good food.....BUT....I specifically said NOT PEANUTS!! There were peanut in my food. Won t be back until they can actually listen to the customer!!
Was great food and great service. Highly recommend eating here.
I usually go all the way to Victoria to get Noodlebox, Im a die hard fan..I even bypass nanaimos because I prefer the one in Langford, HOWEVER, I no longer need to do that as the one here in town is just as great! Im so happy with the food, its exactly what you expect from Noodlebox! The place will always be busy, its that kind of place..therefore the wait time can be not so pleasant for some, but trust me its worth it! They have forgotten my garnishes a couple times but the flavor was there so it wasnt a deal breaker for me. Every single Noodlebox I have been to, the average wait time for food is anywhere from 15-45 minutes, because they are so busy all the time... but let that speak for itself! Thank you for bringing this place to town, it was needed!Also I am posting from my sons account I just realized, oops! -Bree
just ate it and Im not impressed... spicy,ok but no taste and I ordered Prawns as advertised and they were little shrimp,, thanks but not thanks
Ordered a take-out meal on my way to work, and it was ready for me when I got there. Unfortunately nobody really seemed to be working the front end, and there wasn t even so much as a someone will be with you shortly or even a hello spoken in the ten minutes I stood there and looked at my food on the counter. The couple behind me even commented as to what was taking so long for someone to address them. Food was flavourful and good, but the additional chicken I was charged and paid for was non-existent.
We loved this!! Super fresh and filled.. FILLED right to the top of the box! Absolutely delicious and were already looking forward to our next time. I get to save half of mine for dinner tomorrow!
Tasty food and they you a lots .
Pretty pricey for noodles and they ran out of peanuts. You can t eat inside and there were no protective barriers between cashier and customers! it s deceiving when you look at the price you have to add another $3.50 minimum for meat !! I had mild teriyaki chicken and it was tasty and a lot of nice chicken pieces.. my husband had the pad Thai and he said there was no flavour.
Its never consistent, Ive been about 4 times. The first time they forgot my protein! Another time it was super bland, had teriyaki but it didnt taste like it and another time barely any protein.. and they were like chicken crumbles not necessarily good size peices
Hot and fresh everytime. Cant rave enough about the naan with the cilantro curry dip.
Never consistent and if you use their points system for mobile ordering - make sure to check them as they almost never update! I will say most issues are dealt with when I ve asked things to be fixed but at the same time, it s become a bit annoying. Going less and less as I m on a time crunch and I like to get what I pay for.
Update: the manager contacted me to make it right. I was offered a complimentary noodle box and this time around I could taste the quality and there was a nice pop of flavor, hint of spice not bland at all a big difference from the first time around. Thanks for making it right and I will return Paid extra for extra veggies and extra sauce. Taste like there was no sauce and very bland almost no flavor which was surprising since it was the singapore curry box. Was really looking forward to finding a good take out place in my area. Money wasted didnt even want to finish it.
Great customer service and wonderful food. My favorite place for lunch because its so customizable, you can make a box exactly how you want and the variety is amazing. 10/10 would recommend
Wow, I had the teriyaki with chicken, and my box was filled to the brim! Nice and hot, full of veggies, and lots of chicken. I thought it was a little pricey at first but it was worth the quality and quantity! One of the best noodle boxes I have ever had, thank you!
