Chefs Kiss 😙👌

It’s a little out of the way, but this hidden gem is worth the journey.
The staff were the sweetest and nicest souls that you could meet.
It’s simple, immaculately clean with a lovely vibe.
The food was honestly outstanding. Fresh, home cooked and low waste.
We had tofu, quesadillas and sausage starters. The food was so tasty and unique. It was fun making the little wraps.
We had the 5 spice and peanut satay. It was beautifully fresh. Super super delicious. Tonnes of different herbs and special garnishes. Every bite was something new. We washed it down with homemade health mocktails.
The deserts felt like they should be Michelin starred! The tapioca was so creamy, never had a vegan desert like it. It just finished off our favourite meal on the island.

Pros: Friendliness of staff and kind vibe, Freshness and home cooked nature , Balancing penguins game

Cons: Honestly - none

Delicious

We had the tofu sticks and sausage dish for starters which were delicious and the peanut soup and the red curry soup with the wheat noodles so good! It's definitely a bit out of the way from the main area of Chaweng but worth it.

More expensive but beautifully tasty noodles

I had peanut satay noodle soup with homemade wheat noodles. It was beautifully presented and tasted gorgeous. Also tried the quesidillas starter which was not as good. Prices are around 240baht for the noodle dish, so more expensive than many places, but they did taste very, very good

Pros: Taste, Presentation

Cons: A bit expensive

Best green curry!!

Wow wow wow! Green curry is my favorite dish and their green curry soup with rice noodles was so fresh and herbaceous. We also tried their lemongrass dish alongside their homemade wheat noodles, so savory and smoky. Can’t forget about about dessert. This place is a must for vegans!

Attentive staff and nice food

The staff was so friendly and attentive! Atmosphere was good and the food too! I really liked the crispy tofu and the garlic leek something (forgot the name) was sooo delicious!
The red curry with homemade noodles was tasty. The boba tea was okay but not my favorite.

Okay starter food

We went there with my friend and ate couple of starter foods. I ate tofu and quesadillas. They had some new flavours for me but I liked it. My friend took fries and cashew salad. Watermelon shake was very good and fresh. The staff were very helpful and kind.

Pros: Fully vegan, Can pay with card

Hey LarissaJosefiina. Thanks for trying out our food and for trying some new flavours, which, we think, is one of the reasons we all travel. We hope the rest of your time on Samui was enjoyable and hope to welcome you back sometime when you are back on this wonderful tropical island 😊

Tasty noodles and a cozy space

The home-made noodles are very good and the place looks great!

Pros: The noodles are tasty, The service is excellent

Cons: The cocktails were mediocre

markussukram

06 Apr 2024

Hi Ufleydee - sorry for the slow response. I thought I had replied but can't have hit the post button 😢 Anyway thanks for trying out Noodles Now and for your review. We are disappointed that you felt our cocktails were only so so. We will get to work and sharpen them up for your next visit to Samui. New staff on the way - so that should give our current multitasking (meaning he does everything) barman some more time to dedicate to his specialty.

Good idea - still needs to improve

We went there as bigger group so we actually tried most things on the menu, the appetizers and the desserts were quite nice, however the noodle dishes were a little disappointing. The restaurant makes their own wheat noodles which are very nice, but the sauces and flavor of the dishes was not very taste. E.g one noodle dish flavored with lemon grass the lemon grass just overpowered all other flavors.

Pros: Appetizers and desserts, Focus on sustainability

Cons: Noodle dishes not that good

Hi Lukasre. Thanks for coming along with your friends to Noodles Now while you were on Samui. We are disappointed our noodle dishes didn't resonate with you. I will discuss you comments with the kitchen team, but having said that we are very proud of our dishes and food and with any business know there is always room to improve. So thanks for your comments.

It‘s ok

Had the Lemongrass noodles and a dessert. The noodles are good but the things on top are without salt or something, so it tastes not a lot…

Hi Nathiii. Thanks for trying out Noodles Now and for your review. True - we don't use too much salt - but the pressed tofu and the pickled mushrooms are well seasoned. We are only to happy to offer soy sauce or another condiment for customers who ask for extra saltiness or any extra bite of chilli. Enjoy the rest of the day - hopefully the rain has done its thing for the day.

Magic vegan food

After reading the earlier comments, we decided to drive to Noodles Now on the scooter to try it out for ourselves. The peanut satay soup noodles were indeed delicious! If you like good food, don't hesitate any longer 😀

Pros: Peanut stay soup Noodles with crunchy bread, Airco & good music, Clean & good service

Absolutely fantastic

Great to have a fully vegan Thai restaurant in Samui. I tried the khao soi, tastes exactly like in chiang mai and the mock meat was incredible.

Want to go back and try everything.

Wir waren schon zweimal dort und es schmeckt sehr lecker. Die Portionen sind etwas klein, sodass man ohne Vorspeise nicht satt wird.

Cons: Zu kleine Portionen

Hallo Katharina. Vielen Dank, dass Sie während Ihres Aufenthalts auf Koh Samui zweimal bei uns bei Noodles Now waren. Wir wissen das sehr zu schätzen und freuen uns, dass Ihnen das Essen und der Service gefallen haben. Wir freuen uns über Ihren Kommentar zur Portionsgröße. Es geht immer darum, die richtigen Portionen zuzubereiten – nicht zu wenig –, aber auch zu vermeiden, dass Verschwendung entsteht, wenn die Portionen zu groß sind. Wir werden nächsten Monat einige Verfeinerungen an der aktuellen Speisekarte vornehmen und werden dabei Ihre Kommentare berücksichtigen.

Ich hoffe, Google hat meine Antwort angemessen übersetzt 😊

New, Fresh, Tasty

This restaurant is now proudly and deliciously 100% plant based. Zesty and tasty we serve Thai Tapas (street-food style snacks), wonderfully flavorful noodles dishes from Thailand and the region, and cool refreshing sweet treats. Our food is a modern take on classic Thai and regional dishes with inspired taste combinations and just the right amount of fiery pep. Really delicious. We are wanting to create a menu which is delicious for all and 100% plant based. We aim to offer new and tasty dishes to vegan and non-vegan customers who are wanting something a bit different. There is a fully stocked bar, a pool table, and happy hours on drinks daily between 4pm and 6pm. The atmosphere is laid back, relaxed, and
friendly. The staff are charming and most welcoming and understand what a plant based diet can mean to our planet. Full menu: noodles-now.asia/menu.html

Quite a Surprise

The food was really good. A friend had recommended I try it out on my holiday and I'm glad I did. Actually went twice - the first time I sampled some of the tapas starters and found them very full of flavor and different from anything else I had in Thailand. The second time I had noodles and really enjoyed the spicy hot Pad Kra Pao noodles - burning spicy but tingling not full bush fire hot. Great friendly service and reasonable prices. I hope to go back next holiday.

Pros: Clean, friendly, really delicious

Superb noodles

I wasn't blown away by the starters and dessert (they seemed overpriced for what they were and not quite as good as i'd hoped), but the (homemade wheat) noodles were superb! Will definitely be going back to try out all the noodle mains
