Reviews for Toss Noodle Bar in Berkeley, CA
A little pricey but so worth it. All the food that we ordered was delicious! I tried the cashew nut special, husband got green... curry, and the kids shared a noodle dish they created. I would try this place again in a heartbeat! Read more
Second time eating here was on 2/9/22 for dinner. Service, speed of kitchen and ambience/cleanliness was impeccable. However, I... ended up with food poisoning after the meal. Besides the food poisoning, the hokkien noodles which I got Thai/Japanese style(extra spicy) was wayyyyy too sweet. Maybe it?s a personal preference but I have never had an Asian inspired noodle dish thatwas this sweet. Veggies were nicely seasoned and cooked. Prices weren?t cheap for their portion sizes. If it weren?t for thefood poisoning, I?d give this place 3 stars. After a forgettable first visit and a less than desirable second visit, I doubtthat I?ll be returning. Sorry for the 1 star :\ Read more
Fast and satisfying meal. I like the space too, there are tiered benches you can sit on that are fun. I got laksa with rice... noodles and chicken which was good, my only complaint was it was a little too sweet Read more
Well-cooked veggies and noodles (3 Green Stars) Have never been to Toss Noodle Bar until two weeks ago, for a quick pre-movie... dinner, and now I?m wondering why I haven?t been before. Well, I do prefer my tofu and noodles to be organic (and there are Thaiplaces in Berkeley that use organic ingredients) but I?d be lying if I said I only ever eat organic food when out. (In an idealworld?.) Bottom line: we both really liked the food here and found the service to be good and efficient. I had the basileggplant (chef?s special) with spinach noodles and tofu and would definitely have it again. Eggplant is not easy to get right,but this batch was spot on. The Hokkien noodles with Japanese sauce and tofu was also nicely prepared. I?m also giving TossNoodle Bar 3 out of 5 ?Green Stars? for social and environmental impact, based on this: ? Caters pretty well to vegans andvegetarians (although the menu could do with some more info on this). ? Food is served on ceramic and the restaurant does a goodjob to minimize waste. ? Seems to be a family-run business. ? No information available on ingredient sourcing. As mentionedabove, I?d prefer if my tofu was organic (most non-organic soy is sprayed with bee-killing neonics, for example). If I atechicken, pork, beef, or prawns I?d want to know where they came from too.. Interested in writing green star reviews? If so,please check out the Green Stars Project. Read more
A great spot for some Asian noodles or soup in the Downtown Berkeley area! I?d heard a lot of good things about the noodles... here from people that had gone, so I decided to give it a try. I had a great experience! It?s very clean and organized inside,with ample and spacious seating available throughout. The menu is pretty simple but makes it easy to customized your bowls asyou see fit with the noodles or rice, and then selecting either a sauce, soup, or curry, and then the toppings such aschicken. I decided to give the Hokkien noodles with the Japanese sweet and sour sauce a try. I thought they were great!! Niceand juicy noodles and the sauce added a great touch. All of the veggies and chicken added to it were fresh and tasted great aswell. I additionally ordered one of the Thai iced teas, which was refreshing and tasted great! It also looked really cute in thecup that it came in, as seen in the photo. The service was quick and friendly, ordering at the front. I didn?t have to waitlong at all for the bowls that we ordered to be ready! There?s sriracha and chili sauces available at a stand, as well asutensils, napkins, and water. A great spot to either eat lunch at or grab food to-go from! I thoroughly enjoyed and will beback. Read more
Good food that takes great hot and good cold. I didn?t take a fresh food pic but I got the Hokkien noodles with soy sauce and... beef (accommodated for my allergies too). If you order pick up, you have to go to the counter to pick it up (no textnotification) and present your photo ID and your card to get your food. Attached is a pic of my leftovers! Also the portions areHUUUGE so the price is great. Read more
Decided to try a new place my list and walked into Toss Noodle Bar. There were a few flies buzzing around which had me worried... initially but they didn't distract from my lunch. Ordered the safe route with hokkein noodles, Chinese sauce base with chicken.Customer service was good. Food came out promptly and the perfect temperature. Noodles were nice and meaty, lots of veggies welltoo many for me honestly but they had the perfect work around. They provide the most amazing chop sticks I have ever seen in arestaurant which really completed the eating experience. Sauce was light and hit the spot. The value for money here isunbeatable. I love pasta bars. Will return. Read more
I neglected to review Toss when I was in Berkeley a few months ago, but it was so good that I thought to do so now. The format... of the menu and informal service should be obvious from the pictures of the menu and interior. I will just add that the food wasconsistently very good to excellent, and during a week in town, I found myself there multiple times. Read more
