Reviews for Native Noodles in New York, NY
Small, nicely-decorated spot in Washington Heights. We came after going to the Cloisters and despite coming at an off hour, the... food was prepared quickly. We ordered laksa, roti john, a side of bok choy, and the pandan waffle, which was $40 with tip. Thelaksa was excellent -- very shrimp-y and ginger-y, balanced by chewy noodles and fresh bean sprouts and cucumber. The bok choywent well with it. The roti john was also a pretty nice and unique snack. The waffle was simple but great, with nice pandanflavor in the kaya jam. Portion sizes were all generous and prices were on the lower side for NYC. Definitely worth the trip upfor us, and I'd come back to try more things. Read more
Randomly browsing google maps was intrigued to find a singaporean street food restaurant hidden in Washington Heights so I... ventured up from lower Manhattan to try it. Well worth the trip. Food was delicious and genuinely captured the essence ofsouth/south-east asian street foods. Got the roti john & the peanut satay noodles. Both were delicious and the portion sizeswere great to.

Food incredibly authentic yet cheap! Loved the peanut noodle dish, it was almost too much food. Ordered ahead and picked up, the... food traveled well but will definitely need to return to try it again Read more
I really wanted to like this place, as NYC doesn?t have a Singaporean restaurant. However, I would not call their laksa ?laksa.?... The gravy (?) was goopy and lacked the spice notes of laksa. Laksa broth is rich, prawny and coconutty, this felt like gingercorn starch goop. The chili crab laksa had a generous portion of crab but the linguine was floppy and not al dente. Sauce wasalright. The sayur lodeh contained mostly carrots and broccoli which are not traditionally found in the dish. It?s supposed tobe primarily cabbage and turnip with some strips of carrot. The soto ayam was the best dish I tried and was the most authentic. Read more
Nice spot with very fair prices. Enjoyed trying food from Singapore. The buns with crab sauce were our favorite. The fried... wontons were crispy and delicious. The noodle texture was really good. I personally wasn?t a huge fan of the laksa flavor but itwas still good. They have counter service with seating. Maybe just our opinion but they could benefit from switching out thebright white lightbulbs to something a bit softer to make it more cozy. Read more
Delicious and creative Singaporean food with authentic flavors. The rose milk was floraly And sweet, with just the right amount... of rose flavor. The pandan waffle Was nice and crispy on the outside, while super fluffy and moist on the inside, with a reallysubtle pandan flavor. The Kaya jam was a perfect complement to the waffle. I loved the fried mantou breads, and the chili crabsauce went with it well, Much neater than eating whole Singaporean chili crab! I would definitely love to come back and try allof the other items on the menu. The staff here are also very friendly, but there is limited seating if you are thinking aboutdining in. Read more
The chili crab pasta truly reminds me of Singapore. Even though this place is far from me, it was worth the trek. The pasta was... perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious. It was a little sweet for my taste and I wish it was spicier but it was stillamazing. I would also get more crab meat next time for only a 1.50 more. Read more
I really like the food and delivery is fast. I?ve ordered the Singapore noodles dish 2x and have had the same issue. yes... delicious but where are the veggies? I see some pictures from others who seem to have eaten at restaurant, and there is a goodbalance of eggs and veggies with the yummy noodles. My delivery order is mostly noodles. They are so tasty so I?m not superupset. But would be nice if the egg and veg part was higher. Read more
