Noodle Nation in Aylesbury Vale

This used to be mine and my partner's favourite restaurant. Today we decided to go for lunch and were majorly let down. The salt and pepper chicken, usually one of our favourite sides, were just supermarket chicken nuggets with MSG on them? What!? What happened to the beautiful old food!? We also ordered the Peking Ribs. They were terrible. Tasted like cardboard, so dry and tough it took a good couple minutes just to get a mouthful down. The manager did comp these for us as I wouldn't have paid for inedible food. I don't know if today was an off day or if they've changed supplier to cut costs but please don't make this permanent. This was our favourite place, so sad to have had such an awful meal here.

Food was late, late again then late again. Then when it arrived it was tepid. Heated it up in the oven for 20 mins. It was ok but the ribs were honestly terrible. I won’t order from here again.

Always a good shout, especially on a Sunday lunch as it's quiet! Service was impeccable, food was great. Veg spring rolls very tasty. They opened a section so I could have a seat with a back and created a dish that my Crohn's was OK with.

driver apologized for being late so that's why it's not lower. very polite

Driver apparently broke down on way. Food was reheated by restaurant but spare ribs were rock solid!! Shame,normally very good but awful this time!

Food was very expensive for the amount of food and taste. I've never seen salt & pepper chips for £7 ,I assumed I was going to get a massive bag but it was a single portion. overall unimpressed

I went for an interview and promised a call back. Despite two follow up calls and leaving a message, no one cared enough to notify me whether I was successful or not. Not very professional in my book.

Staff are extremely friendly and attentive; food came super quick and is delicious - our dishes were hot and portion sizes were very generous! The front door is wide enough to fit a double buggy / wheelchair; they have toilets, changing table facilities, free WiFi, high chairs, colouring in sheets and crayons and they also offer student and blue light discounts, although prices are reasonable! On a Sunday, guests can get free children’s meals with every adult meal. We have been here a couple of times now and can’t wait to come back again soon. 10/10 - definitely recommend!

The food always pops off here! Always a slay! Love the good portions and the food! The £35 munchie box is sooo worth it!!!! 🩷

Overpriced. Much better alternatives. Yoomi tastes nicer and better service.

Staff fantastic, service was quick.

I got the chicken katsu curry and it was rotten. The chicken was dry as leather and smelled old and moldy. The duck noodles were the same. I called them right away to try to correct it, the manager was extremely rude, told me I had to bring it back immediately and I live in princes risborough so I'm miles away, and he'd only give me back half of my money on a £60 order of rotten food. If u want food poisoning this is ur place!

Not my first choice, but really enjoyed it.

Most enjoyable and affordable ,cooked to order , polite service, excellent value Will be returning

First time here with 3 other persons, had the mixed meat chow mein, very good portion and so tasty. Serve spirits too, nice mix

As always the staff were great, the food i cannot fault it, orders arrive in double quick time. however it seams to be getting more and more expensive each time we visit.

Fabulous food, really good. The staff were friendly. I wasn't overly fond of the music, bit too loud for me but I'd still more than readily come again.

got the food to us asap and it tasted incredible; generous portion sizes too :)

excellent food and staff very very good. food brilliant. nice place to go for evening meal, prices very fair and good valve. lovely experience.

Really disappointed with how this establishment deal with allergies, intolerances and dietary preferences. It is 2024 and they are decades behind other eateries. Their menu has no allergens stated apart from nuts, and there is no allergen matrix available on their website. It is obvious they simply do not care to cater for people with allergies or dietary preferences such as veganism, which is so easy to do with this cuisine. Luckily, we have many other options in Aylesbury that are happy & modern enough to offer this.

Great value. First visit last week. Friendly staff. Knocked us up a couple of bowls of noodles even though they were about to close. Our new haunt for a quick meal when in town

The meat from inside the noodles was old dry hard and had a funny texture and taste,very disappointing.I could tell that the meat was cooked and reheated for more than once…very disappointed ☹️

Got served with stale drink, rude staff! Overpriced for the service and type of food.

The service was exceptional, and the noodles very very tasty. I’d love to visit again

Received someone else’s order, this was then taken away - when our order did turn up 30 minutes later it was incorrect - the kung po chicken was awful - the whole experience was terrible

Such a lovely, welcoming place to eat. Staff are very attentive nothing too much trouble. Jovan was a delightful server.

The prices are insane. Cannot fault the food, staff, decor or anything else. It's a great restaurant. The food pricing however is shocking.

Big portions, prices are okay. Fast service.

Very over priced and not happy with description of the order. We ordered on Just eat and wanted to review on there but couldnt for some reason. £12.50 for a big box of chow mein which was the size of a small lunch box that would be £7.50 max any where else. If you are hungary and get good value for money order some where else in Aylesbury for takeaway. Dont use these guys since they are just poor value for money

The food was great and the waiters were extremely kind. Also, the music was great and added to the already delightful atmosphere! Thanks Adrian for the excellent service!

The food was spot-on. The staff were very attentive special thanks to John Maria and Adrian. I think it is for the very good customer service. portion sizes are very big, which is very good value for money.

Had food delivered today, everything was cooked perfectly, good value for money and finished off with a speedy delivery.. very happy indeed

OMG. Maëva served us and she was so amazing and quick. I didn't know what I would have and she knew what I wanted. Mango lemonade.

Lovely food! Friendly staff! Thank you Adrian Simmons for the quick service! We will definitely be back for more! See you soon!

Food was lovely and atmosphere was great! Adrian, our server, did a great job too - we will definitely be returning soon!

Our meal was lovely, we were served by Adrian Simmons and he was very attentive. The meal itself was lovely and came very quickly! He checked for allergies , came up to our tables throughout our meal checking how it was and for anything extra that we wanted. Also a long with being attentive to us, he was able to do the same for other tables at the same time. He was able to give us some recommendations for the menu too which was helpful.

Ordered the munchie box for takeout while passing by. We haven’t had one for a while and it far exceeded our expectations. Everything was fresh, piping hot & tasted amazing! Somethings definitely got better.

My friend’s last day here in town and we had received excellent service. the food came here quickly and the staff ensured that all our needs were met. thank you maeva!!

Very nice meal, good portions as well. Noodle dishes are plentiful, Maeva was very pleasant and kind when serving us. She made sure our water was topped up frequently! Praise be to the lord 🙏✝️

Went here with my friends and the service was fantastic as always! Maeva was our waitress and she was friendly, attentive and made sure our experience was a great one. The food was delicious and I'll definitely return here again! 😍

Amazing and efficient service with great food to match, especially since it was our first visit!! Our server, Maeva, was lovely - super attentive and not a single thing wrong with our order! Would definitely come again

Kirk welcomed us in and was very friendly. The food was amazing as usual and the service was speedy and efficient. Always love coming in here!

The food was delicious and amazingly good 👍🏾 I absolutely loved it 💚. We have been coming here for several years and the standards are always A*.

I enjoy buying take away squid and I find a young man Johne very polite and kind always makes me feel welcomed. He is an asset to the business

I was given a friendly welcome by Johne. Seated quickly and given time to look at the menu. The food arrived super quick and was delicious. I had salt and pepper squid and Singapore udon noodles. There was so much i had to take some home. All the staff were attentive. One lad spotted a small mark on an empty table and rushed to clean it, along with the cutlery holder and sauces. I had militarily discount which was 30% at the time, so a bargain too. Even without discount it's very reasonable

Would go back in hurry! Ordered Mai fun noodles with pork chicken and prawns (mine was mostly a bowl of noodles) it was awful I had a couple of bites and wasn’t satisfied, and my friend ordered udon both tasted exactly the same. Both came out within 5 minutes of ordering….not too much flavoring and full of yellow curry seasoning… I didn’t like my noodles so I ordered some crispy beef that was alright not too bad.

Great food, atmosphere and service. The staff were friendly and very efficient. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the background music was good too.

Great service we had a big party for my friends daughter food was excellent staff really attentive and great value for money thanks guys!!!

Scrumptious food and 'Jovan ' was friendly and attentive without being intrusive a great experience

Everything was amazing, Tom and Johne were amazing and really enjoyed our time there! We were served our full 90 minutes even though we were a bit late. Had a really lovely experience. Would highly recommend.

Tom was the best waiter, made us feel welcome and joked around with us. Johne also gave us incredible service and they both made sure we had everything we need . The bottomless brunch was 10/10 and we had the best time.

Tom and Johne made us feel very welcome despite the brunch etiquette we were served our 90mins even staring a few mins late and ensured food and drinks were efficiently served to standard. Had a lovely afternoon good tunes and willingness conversation made a lovely afternoon.

Had a great quick bite today! The service was wonderful, special call out to Kirk and the other staff. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

The staff are so friendly and the food was delicious. Great value for money

Joan and the team brilliant food and service as always. The best around for over 20 years

Fab food and lovely staff. Food came out so quick

Great food and great service from Jovan! Always come back here whenever we're home, look forward to our next visit

Love going to Noodle nation, have been regular for pas few years. Jovan served our table and really appreciate his great attitude, made us feel welcomed.

Great food ,Very clean restaurant, friendly efficient staff.

Nice atmosphere with Maeva providing a fabulous service.

Delicious food in a great atmosphere. Staff were friendly and attentive at all times.

Really disappointed with this meal. We ordered a takeaway towards the end of last year and have always really enjoyed the food. The takeaway last year was disappointing. The squid was chewy and the delivery was cold. Decided to give it another go this weekend but went to pick it up instead. The squid was chewy, the crispy beef has become ‘sticky’ beef but it is so different, the sauce wasn’t pleasant and the ‘beef strips’ were just not nice on the pallet. The noodle box was covered in some kind of sauce that wasn’t there before. The only thing that tasted the same as previous orders was the Thai green chicken curry which has received my 2 stars. I’ve always enjoyed noodle nation and its flavours but sadly the food is now not worth what I paid which was over £50 for disappointing flavours. Back to the Chinese on Fairford Leys for me! (And I never write a review)

What a great take away service! Polite & professional answering and taking order. Everything ordered was excellent, lovely hot meals. Fabulous experience of take away service. 5* Thank you so much.

Lovely place, nice atmosphere. Staff are friendly, welcoming and very happy. They were very accommodating with having to warm a baby bottle. Great saying food and good price also. Will definitely be visiting again.

This was our first visit and it did not disappoint. The food was amazing and the staff were great. Will definitely return.

Fantastic Staff and very good place.

I ordered takeout and the lady that served me was super nice and sweet. I’m only doing this review because of her. She had a nice aura and I really liked how she handled me as a customer. She smiled and gave me a good suggestion on what to order when I asked. 10/10 on her.

Fantastic food. Service was great. We had Ben who was polite, courteous and proactive. Booze was topped up well and food plenty.

the chicken satay stir fry wasn't a stir fry, it was just chicken in satay sauce.

Perfect,fast delivery and delicious!

Delicious as always! Lovely delivery guy.

Excellent service! I'd forgotten to put my work name on the order but the driver called & asked & said 'no problem'

Always tasty and the delivery was quick which is great

Staff were great, and the food was very tasty

Too pricey for the anount of food delivered compared to eating in same restaurant

Delicious food and a fantastic delivery

Had a takeaway recently and thought it was a bit expensive but didn’t really process it until I got home and found that rice was £3.95 for *boiled* and £4.95 for *fried* rice. That is obnoxiously expensive by almost any standards. I appreciate that running costs are higher than they used to be and prices aren’t just related to the price of the food you’re eating, but it meant two small mains, two rice and a starter was just shy of £40. The food was ok but not remotely reflective of the price. Haven’t been to Noodle Nation for some time but it was so expensive that it’ll be difficult to justify going again.

think the wrong dinner got sent. it was so hot and we couldn't eat it. and for the money the size of the portion was not good at all very disappointing

I’ve been going to Noodle Nation for over a decade, and it’s always been one of my favourite places in Aylesbury. I don’t know whether they’ve changed owners or they’re trying to cut costs, but the quality of the food has dropped enormously. I went in person a few months ago and ordered the Kung Pao chicken with egg fried rice. The sauce tasted like it was from a supermarket packet and tasted like no Kung Pao sauce I’d had before. I didn’t end up eating much - it was very unappetising. I chalked this up to a bad batch or maybe just them having their own style! I went back a few weeks ago and ordered the sweet and sour chicken (Hong Kong style) with egg fried rice. I’ve had this dish numerous times from Noodle Nation and it’s one of my favourites. The sauce tasted incredibly sickly and not like what it used to. The chicken wasn’t crispy like it should be, and was incredibly chewy. I decided to give them one last chance and try something other than chicken as a main, so I ordered the black bean beef with steamed rice, and satay chicken skewers. The satay chicken skewers used to be crispy on the outside and succulent inside, but they were chewy and not good enough to cost £8. The black bean sauce is bad. Simply bad! Again it just tastes like it’s come straight from a packet. The beef itself is overcooked, so this was just a total miss. The steamed rice which is perhaps the easier thing to make, is stodgy and not their usual quality. I’m so disappointed because this used to be my favourite place, but the prices have gone up and the quality has gone way down so I don’t see myself eating here again.

The food was great, large portions even enough to take some home in a take out box. Service was quick and very friendly. If you're in the mood and hungry, it's worth a visit

No comment on the food but one particular staff member likes to crouch outside smoking whilst spitting continuously on the floor. Can’t imagine what his hygiene standards are once inside. Gross 🤮

Wow! Brilliant service, fabulous food and amazing value for money. First visit, we will be returning soon 😊

We really enjoy Noodle nation's food with our family, staff are friendly and we always get to have a great time here

Excellent food and a lovely delivery man

Meal was good, just a shame most of prawn crackers were stale. If you are paying £4.20 for crackers you expect much better quality

Grim food burnt hollow oily chips reheated noodles felt sick couldnt eat it

Fantastic food and a lovely delivery driver

Take away , had ordered before in summer. Never disappointed. But today, omg . I ordered seafood and chicken pad Thai .. only 3 tiny prawns & no chicken . Brown noodles . Sticky.. very disappointed.. never will oder take away from noodle nation Aylesbury .. yuk

They wouldn’t cater to allergy needs then out the food that was the problem in the same box as everything else.

Went for birthday brunch yesterday with my Daughter (She won brunch for 2 for free !) Food was lush, drinks kept coming, even before we finished the last one, and ALL the staff were lovely 😍 10 out of 10! Thankyou so much and will definitely be back!

Perfectm Also a Perfect delivery experience

Fabulous food and a great delivery guy

Delivery person showed patience looking for the place.

Food is always good, hot & served very quickly.

I've been traveling through the United kingdom for a few months now and out of all the restaurants I have been in this is by far the best I have been in. I don't know where to start, the food is great, the aesthetic of the store is so calming and has a warm feel to it, the staff are undoubtedly the hardest working I have seen a while, i would love to compliment the staff member by the name of "Alex" with the go to attitude for a staff member. As I have been traveling I have been eating quite late but Alex came up to me with a warm smile and bubbly attitude along side being professional, he took care of me as well as making sure the store was clean and in pristine condition, great attitude for a younger staff member. Would definitely recommend this establishment for not just the food, but for the great welcoming feeling from everyone.

Went there with friends for a brunch, served by multiple lovely people such this sweet waitress Maeva and this sweet gentlemen Tom, amazing food and atmosphere, great cocktails would recommend!

We had an amazing time doing the bottomless brunch yesterday. We had a big table of 10, the staff were so attentive and lovely, nothing was too much trouble for them. They catered to all our needs and allowed us to have a great time. The food baskets are absolutely to die for😍 with lots of option and brilliant portion sizes. I have been recommending it to everyone already and I will continue to. 100% one of the best bottomless brunches I have been to!

Probably my favourite place to eat out! Great staff, very polite! Thanks guys ✌🏼

I had a mixed meat mai fun, taste like a standard Chinese takeaway dish. Very average experience in terms of taste and atmosphere. As for the price for one meal and a drink it was on the pricey side.
