Noya's Kitchen in Bath and North East Somerset

Named this now as my incentive to visit post- graduation. Decided! Lol. So hopefully they continue doing what they’ve been clearly doing well, to deserve their great reviews and word of mouth spreads and keeps this place in business for years to come. More independents the better, imo. Menu offerings changed since last visit and was faced to try something new. That’s a positive as everything they dish out is pleasing to the eye, tastebuds and belly. Mmmmmmm!

Absolutely superb... Totally knocked out by a wonderful explosion of flavours. Food and service were both exceptional. Happy days!

Fantastic little eatery with top notch food, great service, cosy interior and funky cocktail glasses. I travelled from Frome on recommendation and it was well worth the trip. Highly recommend this top spot.

We have visited Noya’s Kitchen on previous occasions and the food was far superior in the past, hence our disappointment. We sat in the basement room and there was an extremely noisy group sitting next to us. It was unbearable and we ate our food as quickly as possible so that we could leave the restaurant. We could not talk above the screeching. The waitress was aware of this but didn’t know what to say or do.

Delightful restaurant, lovely food and very friendly and helpful staff

Absolutely delicious food! No wonder it’s so hard to get a table there :)

Came down for my son’s graduation and was looking for somewhere for me and my daughter to eat the night before. We are both vegetarian and although there is not many vegetarian options, both the curry and the pho were delicious! Definitely will go back if we find ourselves in Bath again!

Very nice food, nice staff. Very big portions and we couldn’t finish starter and main.

Every time we visit we are delighted. Pork ribs, belly of pork, beef pho, generous portions of beautiful food and lovely people serving these treats. Just brilliant. Thank you as always.

An absolute gem of a place. Our lunchtime visit was perfect. Wonderful service, delicious food and a lovely welcoming vibe.

Incredible food from very nice and friendly people!

My sister and I stumbled on Noya's for lunch before a visit to Thermae Bath. Don't bother with the latter, but do go to Noya's. We didn't have a reservation and my sister was in a wheelchair. She could manage the steps in and they couldn't have been more kind or accommodating. We shared the prawn roll and sweetcorn fritter starters and had our own mains. It was all absolutely delicious and was a highlight of our afternoon in Bath.

we booked on the strength of Noyas great reviews and we weren’t disappointed. The food was delicious and arrived quickly, the service was great and the wine list was surprisingly eclectic. we were very pleased and recommend it

Most favourite restaurant in Bath. Food is excellent, staff are friendly and attentive and a nice vibe. Book in advance to get in! It’s that good 😊

Absolutely fabulous, a gem of a place.

Wonderful vegetarian food, nice wine list, great atmosphere. Highly recommended!

The food was ok, we ordered the pulled pork and 3 beef phos on a table of 4. The pulled pork was great with a very generous portion of pork. Besides that the rest was not great. The Pho tasted like beef stock, it had no flavour, not enough fragrant herbs in the dish, it compared to a oxo cube. The drinks were lacking, there could have been more choice for cocktails, only a few sweetened gin and tonics. The atmosphere was ok, once people had left and it was quieter, there was no background music (if there was I couldn’t hear it) it all felt a bit average. The staff were very friendly and could not be faulted. We have been to Vietnam and eaten at a well known chain restaurant called pho and the food here is not comparable. It’s a shame as this is meant to be a well regarded independent business.

Great selection of meals, all well-presented. Staff was attentive and friendly. Atmosphere was also wonderful - very beautifully decorated, and they had fun mis-matched plates and cups. Definitely recommend the dumplings!

Absolute little gem! Food was divine. We shared the pork and prawn starter and took the waitresses recommendation on the pork belly and tofu curry for main, they did not disappoint. The coconut brownie also went down a treat. A lovely little setting with a real family feel. Will be recommending to anyone who is visiting Bath.

We had a delicious meal at Noya’s Kitchen. Loved our starters & mains & only wish we lived closer! Highly recommend.

Amazing little restaurant, the food was out of this world and the service and atmosphere matched. I had the pork belly noodles which was out of this world.

The best restaurant I ever been to

Top place in Bath. On a cold night walking in to this wonderful restaurant was a real treat. Amazing, fresh Vietnamese food, friendly & efficient service and a beautiful, cosy decor.

Great food and lovely service. Delicious and well cooked

Do they put curry candles on in here? After many good recommendations I was all up for trying this place out and the local Chinese could have delivered better.... Having entered to the smell of a fragrant curry I decided to have the chicken curry, my friend had the tofu Pho neither were particularly exciting or flavoursome couldn't figure out how the room smelled so fragrant with such bland tasting food...

Excellent place - the Summer Rolls are as good as you'll find anywhere in Vietnam and the curry (tried both the chicken curry and the tofu) were fantastic. We'll definitely be coming back.

The food was amazing and the service was calm and very efficient. It was our first time at Noya's and we will certainly return.

Really disappointed with the food I had here. The summer rolls were chewy and I had the tofu pho . I couldn't finish the pho it just tasted purely of soy sauce and tofu was just as bad no texture just soy sauce taste. The worst pho I've ever had . A few bits of pak choy floating in it and that was it . Sad to say that it was so bad as the atmosphere, staff etc was nice.

The food and wine were amazing value for money with flavours that leave a you wanting to return asap

Our friends have been telling us what a great place this is, and not being a fan of the proliferation of pan-Asian chains and noodle bars in the city, I only want to try independent specialist restaurants. We were lucky and managed to book for Noya’s Friday night Supper Club, so we were delighted to get the opportunity to taste Vietnamese cuisine cooked by a Vietnamese lady. We were also intrigued by the idea of a supper club and how that might differ from just turning up for an evening meal. We arrived at 7pm and joined a short queue of fellow diners entering the restaurant and being shown to the tables. They had laid up the tables according to the size of each party, and we had a table tucked away in a cosy corner of the restaurant. The dining area is obviously what had once been the main part of a Georgian residence, with elegant proportions and a strong decorative theme given a little twist with large whicker light shades and contemporary music playing quietly in the background. There are pictures of Noya and her family on the walls. Noya herself is a wonderfully enthusiastic TV sensation waiting to happen. She introduced herself to each table and then told the whole room about her set menu for the evening. We were told both by Noya and her waiting staff to expect big portions and that they would provide takeaway packs for anything we couldn’t finish. I’m glad to say we ate it all with relish, even though the portions are generous, because the food was so delicious! The food IS amazing! The only other Vietnamese meal I have had was at a rather indifferent restaurant in Hamburg, but these dishes were a taste sensation and so accurately prepared and presented that we left the restaurant thorough sated but not suffering from feeling overstuffed or in distress! The tastes are subtle and amazing and lovely and spicy. I would wholeheartedly recommend Noya’s Kitchen!

We were recommended this restaurant and having travelled to Vietnam, we've been searching for a place that comes close to the authentic food we enjoyed out there. This is the closest we have come to finding that. The food was exceptional, the staff were friendly and service was excellent. The only slight is that we didn't get to enjoy the supper club.

We were four first time visitors last Friday night. We discovered a beautiful, cosy (not small), atmospheric restaurant. The service was friendly and the food was as amazing as the photos we had seen online beforehand. The tastes and flavours were awesome. We had a great night with four different and each tasty meal. We will 100% be back.

10/10. My Pho was delish, but I immediately had food envy of the chicken lemon grass noodles that my partner had. Will definitely be back. Service (jack struck the perfect balance), food, price, beer. thank you. Tom+Eloise.

Pho was incredible, as were the pork spring rolls,

Noya never fails to delight - our favourite place to eat in Bath! Delicious!

Think I’ve just found my new favourite restaurant! Phenomenal food, lovely staff and such a nice atmosphere! Thanks so much! Loads of gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian/vegan options which is amazing!! Great allergy awareness and dishes are made from scratch so very inclusive for dietary retirements. As a coeliac who also can’t eat much dairy, I felt very safe and accommodated when eating here! Highly recommend!

Amazing food and service, as always! Thanks Team Noya x

This is such a wonderful Vietnamese restaurant, I ate with my friend and sat outside in the garden, which was beautiful. We ordered summer rolls with prawns and pork belly noodles. Both were absolutely delicious, delicate flavours and fresh ingredients. The portions were great too. Would really recommend this place if you’re looking for bright, fresh Asian food. Service was lovely and our food arrived quickly.

Limited menu. Couldn't fault the service.

Discovered this place through a friend and have been back for more since. Such delicious offerings.

I’ve been to Noyas several times over the years and it’s always been fantastic. This visit was no exception. Spare ribs, summer rolls, and the dish that I’d call crispy fried pork gyozas (but had a different name I think) for starters were all great. We were a group of three sharing and asked whether we could increase by 50% two of the three starters so we’d get enough bits to share in each dish (divisible by three!) without having to chop things up. No problem! Mains were great too - and for three men with hearty appetites we weren’t left feeling hungry. (Although perhaps that might have been down to us super-sizing our starters!) I had the chicken curry. Tender chicken, big pieces, full of flavour! How about a sharing platter as an option for a starter, for two people min at say £12 per head? I’d go for that! Keep up the good work!!

Delightful place with excellent food. It’s small but cosy and very personal. Pictures of family on the walls downstairs add an authentic touch. The menu is limited but the dishes plentiful and very tasty with lots of complexity in spices and texture. Everything was fresh and well presented. We shared the fresh spring rolls which ranked among the best we have eaten. My wife had the vegetable Pho and loved it. I had the chicken skewers and noodles. Both dishes were outstanding. We had a Spanish white and it was perfect with the spicy dishes. Would go back there in a heartbeat!!

Fantastic meal. Definitely want to return soon.

The best Vietnamese restaurant. Just the best.

I had heard good things about Nony’s kitchen and we were not disappointed . The food was outstanding , very flavoursome and super tasty . The only negative for my two friends and myself , was that the restaurant felt cold which distracted from the experience . However, we look forward to returning and sampling more delicious food

Really lovely and friendly staff, casual and relaxed atmosphere. Food was absolutely incredible and we loved the fact that it was all locally sourced meat. If you’re looking for somewhere to eat in Bath, we would definitely recommend Noya’s. Will 100% be coming back.

This place is awesome, incredible food and excellent service. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Fabulously fresh and delicious food. Very relaxed and efficient staff. It took me back to our time in Vietnam. Thankyou.

The pork belly noodles were special, as was the Vietnamese brownie. The dumplings are always fantastic. Will be coming back before.

Amazing! Noya’s has been on my radar since inception. Have chanced availability as a walk-in multiple times previously, to no avail. This place is popular and for a good reason. The food is delicious and the service is great. Atmosphere is warm, friendly and non-pretentious. Ordered a few things and my favorite is the chicken noodles. So eager to tuck in, forgot to take its photo! Everything was yummy. The special dessert was a good finish to the meal…coconut, chocolate brownie with coconut ice cream.

Fabulous. But reluctant to leave feedback as will never be able to get a reservation in future!

I've long been told of the wonders of Noya's Kitchen and to quote Han Solo, "It's all true!" I've had two meals there in the last month and been won over by the fresh ingredients, generous portions, focused menu (a few things done well, rather than a sprawling choice) and welcoming staff. Kicking off a meal with prawn summer roll - with big, fat prawns bulging against the semi translucent skin - is a must. From there, it's all good, but the chicken curry really hits the spot. It's not too spicy, there's heaps of chicken and hearty glob of rice to suck up the sauce. I'm less of a 'broth guy' and my palate is too weedy for anything with more kick, so the other options don't quite do it for me, though my lunch guests both loved their noodles, which are both brothy and have more kick. The fact that this restaurant is always packed at lunchtime speaks to its quality - so maybe consider booking.

I've been to Noya's Kitchen several times and the food is always incredible, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful (both myself and my husband have allergies), and it's always a lovely atmosphere.

Noya's Kitchen is a hidden gem that has elevated the culinary scene with its exceptional blend of flavors, warm ambiance, and impeccable service. Located in the heart of Bath. Noya's Kitchen is a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts.

it was my first visit to Noya's Kitchen, and it won't be the last! I was impressed by the warm welcome, the great and sympathetic service, excellent food, and delightful atmosphere with a family feel with what appeared to be family photos on the walls. my visit was a special occasion where I was entertaining a friend for her birthday and to say thank you, and the waitresses made sure I was not disappointed...with even a happy birthday sign on the table!

Delicious Vietnamese food, their curry is stunning, as well as all other dish. A lot of gluten free option, I am often in bath for work and consistently go there as it’s delicious

Beautiful meal; big portions, great service & lovely Restaurant. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend.

Wonderful food, beautifully presented and great service - reasonably priced wine and a warm charming environment! Couldn’t say more other than I wish I lived closer to Bath to come more regularly!

Absolutely loved it. The food was amazing: fresh and full of flavour. The staff were friendly and it’s very reasonably priced for the quality. Highly recommend.

Delicious food, lovely waitress and gorgeous setting. Would love to go back and try more of the menu.

We have just had the most delicious meal at Noya's Kitchen! My husband and I were both blown away by the wonderful flavours, and attention to detail. Wonderful! The waiting staff were also brilliant - friendly and attentive. The chicken curry was utterly delicious as was the pork belly noodles. We booked well ahead and it was definitely worth the wait. Highly recommended.

3rd time at Noyas, always guaranteed good food, atmosphere and good service. 👍

Really fantastic meal, incredible value as well. Very friendly staff and the atmosphere was perfect. Well done to you all! :)

Awesome! There for my wife’s 50th and family celebration. Faultless experience with you. Thank you!!

Beautifully cooked and presented fresh food. Delicious as always

7 of us visited for lunch. Great service and great food. Not cheap £30 per head, but a memorable occasion and really authentic experience. Thoroughly recommend.

The service was very good. The staff were very kind and attentive. The food was incredible! We had the pork belly noodles and it was the most tasty meal we have had in Bath!

What an amazing and charming place. The food was the best I can remember and there were 6 of us all saying this was one of the loveliest meals ever. I had the Chicken curry but we basically had most of the menu between us and everything was lovely. The staff were so nice, we had a good chat and laugh too. All in all I can't recommend more. Well done Noya and team!

Had a nice lunch : pork & tofu dumplings for starters & beef pho for main. The starters were great. The beef pho featured fresh ingredients & was a decent portion. My only issue however was that the soup probably needed to be more tangy eg more fish sauce as it was a little bland. Overall nice restaurant experience, service great and lovely restaurant.

Incredibly delicious, very original take on Vietnamese cuisine, highly recommend.

Brilliant and delicious, a treat at half term that all ages enjoyed, We will be back

Lovely food with great tasty flavours. I've marked it down slightly because the menu is pretty limited if you are vegetarian, and we had quite a long wait for our mains (~45 mins from ordering on a Saturday).

I visited the restaurant on a weekday afternoon without a reservation. Tried their shrimp rice paper rolls and beef pho. While they didn't quite capture the authentic flavors I was expecting, they still provided a satisfying dining experience. Admittedly, the prices were a bit on the higher side. However, if you're in the mood for Vietnamese cuisine, I would still recommend giving it a try.

Such a great find, food was delicious and the staff are really friendly. Would highly recommend this restaurant for lunch or evening meal

We had a delicious meal at Noya’ s kitchen yesterday evening, it was our first time and we went having read reviews. We were not disappointed. The service was excellent and very attentive.

Food was great. Thoroughly enjoyed the two courses we had

We went to Noya’s kitchen for the first time after reading good reviews online and we were overjoyed with it. We went to the pho, curry and noodle night and as non meat eaters, we chose the veggie curry and noodle option. They were both absolutely fantastic and packed so much flavour. I will be thinking of our meal for a long time! The tomato curry with tofu gave amazing flavour sensations and I couldn’t have been happier with my choice. The staff were attentive and welcoming and the interior of the restaurant was cosy and authentic. Would highly recommend Noya’s kitchen as it’s a gem in this beautiful city.

A very good find in Bath. Great service and superb food. Highlights were the Summer Rolls, sticky pork ribs and my favourite the chicken curry. Book ahead, it is busy.

Tasty Vietnamese dishes, well enjoyed. The spring roll wrappings (rice bread?) were a little stoggy and detracted from the offering. Really well served, all our dishes were presented to the right person. Received a phonecall afterwards regarding a scarf left behind by one of our group - thank you - attention to detail.

Great food at appropriate prices, thank you!

Great lunch at Noya's Kitchen - coconut brownie with homemade ice cream was also sublime. I'd love to be able to recreate it at home. Book or arrive early to avoid disappointment!

Stopped by for casual lunch. Everything from that kitchen was epic and well priced. Well done! ✅

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Seven in our party and all enjoyed immensely.

Lovely local eatery, great food and really good service

My friends took me to Noyas kitchen as a surprise for my hen weekend. I have to say it made my weekend. What a beautiful place! From the minute we arrived we were made to feel welcomed. The service was so good. The venue has a warm, friendly feel. The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD. We spent all evening eating and chatting and were last to leave. As I said, it made my weekend and I will be going back again!

What a gem to have found. Absolutely amazing food. So fresh and different with incredible flavour. Vegan options also delicious so it's great to really enjoy something special for a vegan and non vegan. Lovely atmoshere, excellent friendly service. Can't recommend highly enough.

What a special place. Deliciously food, lovely serving staff. Thank you for looking after us.

Really good food, and do note that most times you will need to book in advance because they are so busy. Also, I would recommend trying the Vietnamese coffee.

Noya’s kitchen provides the most beautiful fresh tasting dishes, the atmosphere is just what you want and the staff are incredibly helpful and polite! 100% worth a visit (amazing vegan options)

A wonderful meal and a Vietnamese coffee that was great

This was a return visit to Noya's kitchen. It's always our favourite restaurant when visiting Bath. Lovely authentic Vietnamese flavours in a very friendly setting. Tips: Make sure you book ahead. Table 4 is near to the door so can be drafty! Highly recommended

An amazing restaurant with amazing food (I'd walk to Bath for those ribs).

You can literally smell the amazing flavours wafting out the door as you passed by. I had the summer prawn springrolls and crispy fried pork dumplings and both melted in my mouth!

Very nice place with lovely food!

We dined at Noya's and boy did it blow us away! The place is very cosy and the wait staff were friendly and funny but the main attraction is the food. Wow. It was a remarkable difference to other Vietnamese restaurants (especially a certain widespread chain). Here, the food is simply exceptional. We had the summer rolls and chicken curry, both fantastic. We don't live in Bath but we may well return simply to come back to Noya's!

Amazing food and a great atmosphere

After booking, I was contacted to check for allergies / dietary requirements. The evening began punctually. It’s a small venue and Noya introduced herself to each table, incorporating details which showed she’d read diners’ responses about their dietary needs into her conversation. She then introduced the night’s menu with verve and detail. Every course was tasty and well-presented. The revelation for me was the rice porridge (chao?). I’d never ordered it because it sounds bland but this dish was crammed with complementary flavours and textures. The service was cheerful and attentive - my jasmine tea was constantly topped up - without asking. A memorable evening.

Food was mediocre and expensive and pho was flavorless. Menu lacks variety but the pork belly noodles were good. Service was super slow.

Here with a big group - good food and everybody enjoyed it. Good beer selection. Visited a few more times since and everyone has very much enjoyed the meal every time. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The guys working front of house are really welcoming and friendly.

Food was absolutely delicious and the staff could not be more warm and welcoming
