Reviews for Mainely Noods in Portland, ME

This was on my list of restaurants to visit while in Portland, and I'm happy it was. I loved the jokes and puns throughout the... place and it made me chuckle as I read everything. The staff was super friendly and the food came out quicker than expected. Ihad braised pork ramen with dumplings in it and a lot of chili oil, and it was a great bowl of ramen. It had a *very* little bitleft to be desired, but I'm biased as I've had some amazing ramen. But nonetheless this was a solid 8.9/10 bowl of ramen and Iwould get it again! It was tasty and savory, filled with that umame flavor and left me pleasantly full. If you're in town andlove Asian food like myself, then stop by because it was a meal I enjoyed and I will probably be getting again during my stay¡ Read more

The food presentation is absolutely beautiful! The names of the various options are also rather fun. The service was fast, the... building clean, and plenty of space to sit down. The food was good, but not excellent. Compared to other noodle dishes, thebroth really felt like it was lacking. Especially with the ingredient list that it had, I was thinking it would be much moreflavorful. The peanut sauce on the gyoza was excellent. I would go here again-- prices were decent, food was filling andhealthy. Affordable, good, healthy, and filling are all wins in my book. Read more

Their options looked tempting but the flavors(when existing) were very average. I got the Portland (a vegan option) and the... broth was basically water! My husband got a coconut milk based curry ramen, it was very very spicy! Would not recommend. Read more

Not much would make me forget tacos on Tuesday, but these folks wiped any thought of a taco coma from my mind with their... delicious bowls of noodley goodness. As many times as we have been to the State Theater for concerts I am saddened by theknowledge that we could have eaten there every time we went. Great food and so many options. Noodle win! Read more

Delicious homestyle food and super affordable! Pan fried dumplings hit the spot and the pork was cooked absolutely perfectly.... The soup is so comforting and reminded me of my mom?s or grandma?s home cooking, but better (don?t tell my mom lol). I happilywould eat here on a weekly basis if I lived nearby. Read more

Great selection of fresh and unique ingredients. Delicious broth options and not too salty. Some very tasty sides as well. You... can?t find better prices for the quality of food than here. Highly recommended! Read more

Fantastic food, great laid back atmosphere, and friendly staff. Can?t ask for better than that! Highly recommend this restaurant... if you like ramen/noodle bowls. Great prices for the amount of food you get. Will be suggesting this place to friends who visitthe area. Read more

Very fair priced noodle shop! Everything was tasty, but miso broth was a little too salty and the curry broth was really thick... so I couldn?t really finish it. The noodles were cooked well (not too soggy not too al dente). My favorite was actually thesesame noodles, but I wish there was more sauce. After a few bites, it was just like eating plain ramen so we put it in ourremaining broth. The boiled egg isn?t soft boiled and when we added bokchoy, we only got ONE that was cut in half. As a tourist,I probably wouldn?t come back but if I worked around here, this would be a quick and good lunch spot. Read more
