Okay for the price - Edit
Overall okay experience, first ordered the pad Thai off the vegan menu but was then told it contains fish sauce. So if you go here, don’t order the pad Thai as it is not vegan!
Read moreEnded up ordering vegetables & tofu with noodles which were pretty good.
Pros: Several vegan options
Cons: Misleading vegan menu

Pretty good - Edit
Large portions, on the more expensive side, but quite tasty. The meals were mostly filled with large amounts of cabbage. More variety of vegetables would have been better.

Taking a cue from another Happy Cow reviewer, I asked for the separate vegan menu, and ordered Pad Thai. A generous serving arrived, wreaking of pungent shrimp smell. Thinking my fears might be overriding facts, I asked my omnivore dining companion. Yep, smell and powerful unmistakeable flavour of shrimp paste.
Read moreMentioned it staff. They denied any fish or shrimp, and refused to try it. A helpful third customer confirmed it. Staff then admitted they don’t know what’s in the sauce, as it was made by their boss. They had a kerfuffle, phoned their boss, then offered me a choice of two dishes from the vegan menu, using soy sauce.
Everything was handled politely. No need to be a sanctimonious vegan dick (like one of the other reviews here). I felt bad for the staff.
A generous serving of ho-hum food arrived. It was ok. I’d eat there again, but be prepared for the old rigmarole of stressing what’s in and what’s out. YMMV.
Pros: Food is ok, freshly cooked. , Large servings, Cheap
Cons: Risky

Delicious - Edit
I ordered a Pad Thai off their vegan and vegetarian menu. It was one of the best tasting Pad Thai I have ever tasted. The portion size is very decent too. The staff are also friendly and they have free wifi.

Quick and tasty - Edit
Very yummy noodles indeed! Ask for the vegan menu at the counter. The menu unfortunately isn't very descriptive but both the Pad Thai and the fried rice were tasty. Extra veg would have been appreciated.

A lot of delicious food! - Edit
I had dinner at Yummy Noodles today and chose vegan Pad Thai. The noodles came with lots of vegetables and nuts and tasted great. It is based at a food court of a shopping mall, well ventilated, but not a very inviting environment.

A negative experience. - Edit
I was extremely hungry at around 4pm when most of other places were not open, which was basically the only reason I ate here. As a vegan, I asked for the vegan menu and ordered fried rice with vegetables as recommended in the review on HappyCow and it was the biggest mistake I made that day. When the lady served the rice I immediately spotted fried egg in it and I asked “Is that an egg”? She said: “He (the guy who took my order) said egg’s OK.” Hearing this, the guy came out and asked me: ”No egg?” I said, sorry, vegans don’t eat eggs. He took the rice back without saying anything, not apologetic at all. The lady started making me a new one. I then realized they put egg, tofu and chili as choices to go with everything on the vegan menu. Egg on the vegan menu! This guy doesn’t understand vegan at all apparently. He didn’t check with me which of the three I would like to have in the fried rice, instead, he just decided for me that “Egg’s OK”. The second rice arrived. This time there was no egg, nor tofu or chili. Again he decided for me that I didn’t want any of the three. That was fine if the rice tastes OK. But there were big chunks of white rice and some sort of seasoning not well broken down. I had to spit it out. And it was way too oily. As much as I hate to waste food, I just couldn’t finish it. After eating that rice, I felt so thirsty for the rest of the day, you know that kind of feeling you got when you eat something cooked with a lot of bad seasoning such as MSG. I had to drink so much water, which barely helped. I don’t like writing negative feedbacks, but these people need to do it properly. You can’t provide a vegan menu but still think “Egg’s OK”.

Not bad - Edit
We had the pad Thai, one of the stir fried veggies and the spring rolls. The best off all we’re the spring rolls. The mains were ok and good sized portions.

Incredible! - Edit
I ordered the vegan spring rolls and laksa with tofu.. rookie mistake, the servings were HUGE! I couldn’t finish it all, didn’t come close, but I ate until I was in physical pain purely because the food was amazinggggg.. I can’t even describe. Next time, I’ll just go for the Laksa, it was the most delicious thing to pass my lips. Try it - TRUST ME. It’s vegan crack. Service is hella fast too, and they’re super friendly. Delicious. I need that recipe.

Good value - Edit
We have been here several times as all my family love it.
Read moreThere are quite a few vegan options on a separate menu.
The meals are huge and I often have to take leftovers home.
We have tried the noodle soup, basil stir-fry, pad thai and fried rice.

So so tasty - but double check it's vegan... - Edit
They have a vegan menu which is nice but when I ordered the vegan pad thai, the cashier asked me if I wanted eggs in it. So make sure there aren't any eggs or fish sauce in it. Apart from that, the meal was amazing and the portion was huge!
