oodles 'n' oodles in Birmingham

very helpful and good service she really made sure food was given to me on time

I have visited Oodles N’Oodles a few times and I am always impressed. The place was buzzing with people, which is always a good sign. Despite how busy it was, the service was quick, efficient, and friendly — a smooth experience from start to finish. The food was packed with authentic flavours and everything tasted freshly made. From the noodles to the mains, each dish delivered on taste and presentation. It’s also worth mentioning that the prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion size you get. If you’re looking for a tasty and affordable bite in Star City, Oodles N’Oodles is definitely worth checking out.

Shrimp Tempura is just fried shrimp.. I believe they don’t know what is tempura. And we (three people) ordered medium well steak, we got three ALL well done ones.. their Diet Coke is also not coke cola or Pepsi, tastes weird

Very good food and great experience. Waitress (name Subi) gave great service 😃👍

Ordered the Malaysian chicken curry and egg fried rice. Asked for it to be made hot spicy but it was not. Asked for tap water and did not receive it. Asked for salt and did not receive it. Abysmal service. It wasn't even busy. The bell peppers in the chicken curry were hard. Just thrown in and uncooked. Really disappointed about the whole meal given the price paid. Also ordered chicken chow mein but not spicy or tasty. Very bland food altogether. The dynamite chicken wasn't too bad. Probably, will not visit again.

Had a terrible experience here. Food is extremely mid especially for its price point. The seating is very cramped and the service was terrible and not family friendly. Will not be returning here, you are better off spending your money elsewhere.

The reservation was long however it seemed promising when my name was called i came to ask at a table however she had given instant attitude and she was saying i have to sit next to he toilets seats as its policy and i asked if someone had booked the nice seats. She said no and then i asked to see her manager and the manager came up to me really rude as if he had just dealt with another customer that complained and he had said if you dont want to sit there you can leave. I left really i dont recommended .

Lovely delicious food, family really enjoy the taste and quality each time

Absolutely disgusting food. Everything was horrible. Precooked / frozen food.

We’ve been going to this place for years but never again, I don’t write bad reviews but from this experience I don’t have a choice my younger sister and brother both have speech delay and development delay. My brother wanted to stay in his pushchair and we kindly asked the staff if he could but the lady said no as she doesn’t want to open another section as it wasn’t busy? Basically declining are request even tho my mum explained to her that he won’t sit down and she just suggested to try the high chair. We tried the high chair and my brother started crying which caused both staff and people to look at us. My mum had to walk around with my brother around the restaurant to calm him down but there was still no sympathy from staff. Maybe at this point we should of walked out but we decided to order food which take long cause the staff wouldn’t come to our table, once we ordered my mum spotted the manger and went to have a word with him if we could move he brushed my mum off and had no remorse using another excuse saying the chefs are eating there but when I looked there were no chefs eating in that section. My mum explained her situation again yet they still didn’t care which resulted my mum to have her food packed and walk out the restaurant with my brother while me and mum sister eat due to the food already being served. This is absolutely upsetting that in there big restaurants they couldn’t find a table suitable to having a pushchair. You haven’t just lost us as customers but my entire family and friends and hopefully others that have sen and development delay children. Fear Allah you could end up in the same situation. Won’t be missing the food anyways x

If you have sen or developmental delay children don’t come here!!

It’s the fact you weren’t even apologetic or sympathetic towards us you literally didn’t care. Fear Allah you could end up in the same hardship if you continue this there will be no bakrakah, how do you sleep at night acting like this. Won’t be missing the food anyways x

First thing I noticed was how worn out the seats were… I mean they were awful. Food arrived quick, noodles were ok but beef was rubbery and lacked flavour it was very obviously not fresh. In fact it tasted and looked 3-4 days old and had simply been reheated. Staff were just waiting to go home and never really showed any customer service. Poor all around.

Noodles were average the spicy noodles i would not call them noodles at all!!! the egg noodles lacked flavour and tasted a bit burnt the kids meal chicken nuggets only four nuggets whereas all the other restaurants give at least six!!! Drinks nothing special

I ordered the chicken corn soup for the family, but it was a total letdown. I told the waiter, but they didn't care.

Came here with family had the dim sum prawn which tasted amazing and the chicken was great The mash was a bit weird and a bit too milky then creamy My husbands noodle was a bit disappointing and just smelt of eggs

Not a very warm welcome, no friendliness. Food ok, service poor, deco out of date. Drinks at the bar was ready and the barman said take the drinks to the table twice. Smile don’t cost it’s a part of the service Milkshake no taste

Maryam is very helpful and did great service

Maryam is sooooo lovely, she took my mushroom allergy into consideration and wiped my table every 5 minutes. I was so tempted to kiss her hand because of how lovely and sweet she was. Honestly best customer service ever! Thanks maryam x

Food was delicious, service was 5* Maryam the waitress taken my order she explained about food allergies maryam was friendly but we had a lovely time was nice speaking to maryam my daughter has many allergies she didn't eat but I was made aware due to she is autistic my favourite thing maryam had the knowledge and was really caring she spoke in a gentle manner to my daughter. My favourite about this place is they have some lovely staff who know what there doing start the day with a beautiful smile The food was tasty hats off to maryam for taking my order and my family enjoyed the day I hope you the best in life the parking in star city is great

Bad soup once that wasn't returned, cockroach spotted the other time. Not going back again.

food was cold and burger was put in plastic container.. bun was glued to patty

Abit shocked what happened did they change the cook , worst chicken soup like jelly , chicken taste not flavored, mains were equally bad , we returned all the soup , sweet sour chicken like made in tomatoe sauce , stir fried rice equally bad . I think the chef was no good for lunch time .

Food Quality Great, Portion a joke for what i paid for business needs to revaluate they produce for consumers

My wife makes better chinese. Lol Very pricy also.

We had an amazing experience thanks to a young lady named Maryam! There were ten of us, and she handled our chaotic pick-and-mix order with such professionalism and patience. The food was fantastic and served hot, and we nearly finished everything. We were served in just 15 minutes. Thank you so much! x

We had Thai soup and it was disgusting we feel sick after having this

Dined here with my family on 1st April 2025, overall wasn't bad but not the usual standards in food quality. The chicken shashlik was a bit dry and they have started using chicken breast strips for it. The rice that came with it was cold and very clearly not fresh and also very dry. The crispy beef was amazing as always though. Crispy chicken rolls were also good. Both noodle dishes we got were good, Malaysian spicy noodles and Oodles fried noodles mild. Service provided by staff was excellent, very polite and attentive. Great family friendly atmosphere.

I was really looking forward to trying Noodles and Oodles after reading so many good reviews, but my experience was nothing like what others described. I ordered the Beef Spicy Noodles, expecting a flavorful and well-balanced dish, but what I got was oily, greasy, and completely lacking spice. Instead of the udon noodles I expected, they served chow mein. Giving a 1 star is like an insult. I would have rated less an a minus if that was an option To make matters worse, the spice wasn’t even in the dish—they gave me a separate pot of sweet and spicy sauce, which felt like a lazy attempt to fix the flavor. For the price I paid, I expected way better quality. Honestly, I wish I could get a refund. After this, I won’t be trusting online reviews so easily. I won’t be coming back.

The best place to go if you want Chinese the Singapore sweet and sour is so good

Food was sooo tasty. But for me never ever try the thai soup. I hv never had a soup this bad in my life. Bt all other food was delicious

Few people at this restaurant and took 40mins for the food and tottally disappointed with it!

Great food, super tasty 6 of us had starters and mains. Very reasonably priced

I used to come here a few years ago and loved it, but this time it was awful. We came at iftar time and it was full so we waited 50 minutes for a table. There were 5-6 tables free but the staff were not cleaning them, so we could’ve been seated much earlier. We ordered one original noodles and one Singapore style and wanted both medium, but they gave us 2 spicy Singapore style noodles. Once I mentioned it to the waiter he tried to gaslight us into saying it’s one of each, but once we got the receipt we could clearly see it said 2 Singapore style. We also spoke to the manager and asked if they can just take one of the noodles back and remove it from our bill but she said ‘it’s not possible’. Rubbish service and food, really regret coming and do not recommend at all

It is the most terrible service food is bland and if you want a bad time best place to come

Food was pretty good. Service was amazing. Served noticed the plates they had given has a little bit of a smidge on it (neither me nor my partner even realised) and took them away and replaced them with freshly washed plates. For what it is and the price you pay I would have expected the food to be a bit better, for example the crispy beef was not saucy and sticky like from a Chinese but battered and fried? But it’s all honestly down to opinion. Was still a very good meal and would visit again

Can't go wrong with this place. Excellent atmosphere with a good vibe. Stake is nice and the drinks are delicious.

Nice food but overrun a bit pricey

Acabamos de pasar y chico nos alegramos de que el turco que habíamos reservado estaba cerrado. Gran servicio y los kebabs de pollo mucho mejor y más barato que las opciones turcas en el patio. Tan sabroso 🤤

Basura de comida con un servicio aún peor. Fui con unos cuantos amigos a los que no veía desde hacía tiempo. El camarero cobarde y el servicio agresivo estropearon la reunión. El camarero tomó nuestro pedido donde especificamos que queríamos los 5 entrantes primero y luego la red. Se lo dijimos en inglés y en urdu/hindi para asegurarnos de que entendía. Sirvieron los entrantes y antes de que pudiéramos tomar un par de bocados vinieron con la red. El tipo de servicio era grosero y quería forzar la red en la mesa, mintiendo y diciendo que la orden dice que queríamos todo al mismo tiempo. Pedimos que uno de los platos se lo llevaran a casa así que el camarero usó una cuchara sucia de la mesa de uno de los comensales para poner la comida para llevar en un recipiente. Cuando lo señalamos no hubo ni una sola disculpa ni aceptación del comportamiento repugnante. Pagó y se fue con prisa. Comida de basura con servicio de basura

I came here to eat on Sunday the 23rd of February,2025. I was served by Bishal. He was very warm, respectful and Professional.

Subi, nice and friendly, the best of the best

Mariam did a great job serving us, she was very lovely and helpful.

Excellent food as always since I have been coming with my family from 2016. Marium as usual efficient, energetic

Excellent service provided by Mariam. She was brilliant catered to all request and was extremely patient. Thank you so much Mariam.

Absolutely loved it. Our server, Maryam was an absolute angel, so polite and respectful ! Would definitely recommend:)

I visited this place yesterday. The service and food was really good. Served by “Maryam” and had a perfect experience. She was really humble to everyone!!

I was attended to by Bishal today. He was very attentive and took my order professionally. The food was delicious and very tasty. I am happy with my order and will come again soon with my family.

Maryam served us today and the service was brilliant and the food was fantastic as well

I visited yesterday with my family, and we were served by waitress named Maryam her service was brilliant she was so active

Save your time and your money! Unfortunately the standards of Oodles have very clearly depreciated and the food is underwhelming at most! Can’t complain about the price as it is relatively cheap but there are better options out there, being overwhelmingly disappointed is an understatement.

Maryam was amazing! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Her menu knowledge and great recommendations made our experience even better. Despite the busy restaurant, she provided top-notch service with a smile. Truly an asset to your restaurant! Can’t wait to come back!

Really good Indo Chinese options. Maya was super and suggested food to our taste. Highly recommended

Hamzar was lovely and great service

Mariam was an amazing waitress, lovely service and food

Maryam did a great job and looked after us well. We have returned a second time and it was great. Will surely return with family again!

Hamza was a great waiter thank you

Maryam was great at taking order and getting us served at swift pace as we had a movie showing to catch. She was very professional and kept checking to ensure everything is good with our food. 5star service

The food was okay, noodles were flavoursome but the crispy beef was overdone and had no flavour or sauce, waste of money. The dynamite shrimps was nice and the waitress was attentive. Overall not worth the price. Wouldn't come back again.

Maya provided us with an excellent service. Enjoyed our food

Thank you Mariam grate service.

Big shout out to Huzaifa. Fantastic service Fantastic food Really looked for for our party of 10 people. Well worth going again!

Hamza gave us great customer service.

Great experiences , food arrived promptly and Mariam looked after us very well. Highly recommend!

The noodles were really nice and Maryam served us well.

This place has gone so down hill its ridiculous! They served me raw beef and chicken! Foods now vile! And the drinks are cheap but still charging the same price as the proper ones! They’ve replaced coke with cola but still charge £2.75 for it! Customer service is shocking! Woman with long brown hair in black blazer think she’s a team leader, needs stepping down a few pegs, thinks she runs the place and her attitude is vile! Tried telling me the meat should look like that, but then went on to say she wasn’t a chef so wouldn’t know but couldn’t assist any further, I complained and never paid. Will never be returning and will be telling all friend and family who enjoyed this place before of the changes.

Maya and Maryam were amazing, they were extremely helpful and served us very exceptionally. If you come here I’d ask for them. 10/10 experience.

Amazing service Maya was the one that served us, she was so kind and helpful and made sure whatever we wanted was done

El personal era servicial. Los fideos picantes de pollo son geniales pero muy picantes. El personal le advierte lo cual es apreciado. Los mojitos de fresa (no alcohólicos) son muy buenos y los tamaños de los alimentos son generosos, así que puede llevar algunos a casa para más tarde!

Primera vez que voy a este restaurante. Esperé al menos 40 minutos por una mesa. Aunque el camarero era amable, tomó alrededor de otros 40 minutos para obtener la red. También la comida fue decepcionante.

Mariam was great and very helpful

Visited today for my daughter's birthday, and I was really disappointed with the service. They clearly stated that they wouldn't serve my son, who is only 4 and has multiple allergies. This is the first restaurant that has outright refused to serve him. We've been to many takeouts and restaurants that offer alternatives, and he’s had food from places where cross-contamination was a concern, but no one has ever said they wouldn't serve him or that he couldn't bring food from outside. Thankfully, I had already ensured he has eaten something or he would have been starving; he ended up just having fries. I understand they might be trying to protect themselves in case of any incidents, but not having alternative options for someone with food allergies is unacceptable. I've had better steaks elsewhere. At least now I know what this place is like, and I won’t be coming back. Steak looks really dry and the presentation is dire.

King prawns taste rotten. Noodles are salty. Service are not great either.

Ordered grilled chicken and dry beef rice. Chicken was not fresh and definitely couple of days old Dry beef rice was old aswell and tasteless Only had one spoon of rice and it put me off straight away. Waitresses was very apologetic of poor quality of food tho. I also had opprtuinty to speak with mamager ( "basit "on my request ) . Manager acted as he is sales person of primark and he had zero knowledge of customer service and absolutely no knowledge of food and quality of food His only justification to me was " we still have same chef from many years " I told manager ill still pay you full bill but the quality of food is absolutely rubish and he took my insult as a compliment and walked away . He was happy that i paid him for a food which i didnnt eat at all . You can see the payment slip and also the food we returned untouched.

Went here 1st time and I will definitely be going back, the service I received by a lovely lady Mariam was amazing, wasn’t sure what to order she helped me pick. Thank you very much for such great service Mariam and the food of course was very tasty.

I had my second visit. I thought the soup serving bowl don't justify the price. Also the bowl size is different to last time, I queried this to the manager and I am not surprised by the response. I think the food is still good, given the potion size we had, this restaurant is definitely higher on the pricing. And there soup portion bowl size does vary per each visit, which is quite annoying. Rest is all fine.

First time I came here. Food is a bit hit and miss depending on what you get. Had chicken dim sum, wonton soup, spicy chips, spicy beef noodles, chicken and prawn noodles and got a takeaway dish of beef pepper schetzwan. The chicken dim sum was really good, the spicy beef noodles were amazing, seriously spicy, did what it said, the chicken and prawn noodles were average, could've been a lot more flavourful, and the beef pepper schetzwan was delicious.

Mariam was superb in serving and helping with the order and was very efficient Food was great as always

Good service with our waiter Maryam

Maryam was amazing with her customer service. Was very patient and very helpful with recommendations. She needs a pay rise! Absolutely amazing!!

Thanks to Maryam we had a great experience, thank you

Rib eye steak was delicious. Mariam provided excellent service to us.

Good customer service by maryam

Good food though a bit spicy and prompt good service by Marium. My children love this place and like to visit often.

I went to oodles first time with my wife and I have to says the food was not worth the price the portion was so small and my wife found a hair in the dish so she called the waiter and the waiter goes that not us it's your hair to my wife when my wife wears a hijab Service was so bad Atmosphere was loud n coke

Subi gave an amazing service Thank you for your service

Hamzah was really humble and welcoming. He attended to us well and recommended one of the best on the menu! I will give him a 5 star because i will come back here again.

Podríamos haber ido a cualquier parte, la Sra. decidió que quiere ir a Oodles N Oodles por su cumpleaños. Después de que pedimos les dije que tengo alergia, empezaron a sacar papeleo para que lo firmara antes de que me sirvan, qué tontería. Arruinó nuestra noche. Si sufres de alergias evita este lugar

Have you heard of a restaurant that makes you sign your life away or they won't serve you, well here it is. If you suffer from allergies they will make you sign a waiver before they serve you lol complete joke, Johngear and Baber sort your policies lads.

Hamza provided excellent service!

Terrible experience. The lady at the front has an ego the size of a whale. Just because she’s wearing a blazer she struts around rudely talking to customers. I had a simple request which was shut down for a silly reason. Not very professional. Food was standard. Waitress was good. Atmosphere is terrible. Thank you and no I will not be returning.

Wrong food given, glasses had lipstick marks on them. Some staff very helpful and no issues but some don't seem to see the hygienic issue. Left without eating

Their Chili 🌶️ sauce tastes more than what i expected.

Went on New Year’s Day very bad experience, firstly the waiter that came over was very miserable and had a face like he didn’t wanna be there we then proceeded to order which took 1hr20mins to arrive including the drinks. We both ordered Sirloin steaks medium they overcooked it and came very well done and the dynamite shrimp the water on the lettuce was brown and lettuce was old. I now have very severe food poisoning and can not stop vomiting and having diarrhoea. This is not acceptable normally food is always great and I’ve never had any issues before. Due to them giving us both food poisoning which I’m assuming is from cross contamination I will be taking further action as I am now unable to go to work

Horrendous food chicken was pink manager tried to come up with an excuse that we didn’t tell them till after (we told 2 employees) they then said it’s because how it was cooked I’m a chef and it wasn’t cooked they gave us rock solid veg and chips were vile only ate the steak which was overcooked but only thing edible then tried to charge us 20% tip Don’t go rude staff

Great service from hamzah and lovely food

Best service by maya thank u so much . The food was nice

Was served by maya, she was very kind and helpful, went out of her way to help. Great service!

Absolutely disgusting customer service, was put on a table that didn’t fit us all on and then when we asked to move because we didn’t all fit on the waitress was so so rude. Would give 0 starts if I could! Avoid!!

Food was disgraceful, i ordered some beef noodles and the beef in question was donner that tasted like it came from a container as it left a disgusting aftertaste in your mouth, the chicken chilli ginger we ordered was extremely salty, they offered to change it for a new batch which looked like they hadn't even changed what we gave them as it came back as salty as ever. The egg fried rice usually contains egg and the rice is usually nice and fluffy however this rice was brown like it was old and it also had a smell to it. They offered to change the rice as-well however same concept as the chilli chicken gave it back to us refurbished. They kept us waiting over an hour for our food to arrive. Very disappointed as we came all the way from Manchester and the Manchester branch is 100x better. Terrible experience and i would not recommend eating here.

When they opened one of these places in my hometown I didn't visit it due to the negative reviews it got. But I'm happy to report this branch is just as bad. The food here was terrible. I ordered a Prawn Tempora that looked more like a Prawn pakora. It was covered in a thick blanket of batter and cooked to the point that the prawn climbed out of the plate to complain to management. My niece ordered a burger which smelled very strongly of perfume, and the noodles my sis in law ordered were dryer than the Sahara. At one point I found a Nomad crossing the plate with his Camel. He was lost. The mash was watery and the experience was unfulfilling. Would have enjoyed a visit to Guantanamo Bay over whatever the hell this was. Btw, why are the waiting staff so lost? Asked to place an order and she looked like we just asked her to explain Quantum Physics.
