“ Had pho from somewhere else yesterday because i was sick and had to uber it and it was terrible , nothing compares to noodle city !! I hope they get on uber eats some day !! ”

“ The food is AMAZING! The only Vietnamese restaurant in Santa Barbara I will eat at. You can taste the freshness and high quality of the food! ”

“ This is my most visited restaurant in the area, staff is very quick and attentive. The food is great and at a very fair price. I will keep coming back. ”

“ This is my go to pho spot in Goleta! I like how the owner/staff are very friendly and quick to take your order (the food will be out in less than 5 min)! I've never had a problem w/ asking for more limes or onions on the side. It's a cute little spot, with limited seating but I love the intimacy of it. Perfect spot to eat out w/ a friend when you're craving good Viet food. My go to order is the pho tai but I'm hoping to try more menu items. Please come here and support a local business! ”

“ Ah one of the best pho places I have ever tried!! Restaurant is super tiny and service is super fast. Everything on the menu is very delicious. Broth is so hearty, clean and flavorful. Some of the meat can overcook inside the hot broth but I don't mind it since it depends how fast I am eating. Noodles are always cooked very well and they give such a great portion of bean sprouts. So yummy!! ”

“ I've had the pho here a number of times and love it! It's very consistent, flavourful broth, and plenty of noodles and protein to fill you up. The chicken pho is the best one I've had so far! Typically I call my order in ahead of time for pickup and the service is quick and friendly. ”

“ It can be difficult to find parking, they do have a parking lot in the back- though it can get quite tight. My family and I always order to pick up, and no matter how large the order it's always ready in 10 minutes! They also get the order right every time. Now, when dining in it can be a bit tricky. This place can get packed with UCSB students or small groups around dinner time. When eating here the staff sometimes is a bit curt. They are quick to bring out your food as well as the check. I do appreciate the delicious pho on a chilly day, especially with jalapeños and extra sirarcha. ”

“ This spot is definitely a local hang and I'm so happy we stumbled upon it for lunch one day. I am guilty as I've driven and walked by this spot way too many times to not have come inside. I just think this spot isn't as pulling from the outside as to how delicious the food is on the inside. That's why I definitely say it's a locals spot because they know about it and it was pleasantly busy on a weekday at lunchtime. A great Vietnamese and Asian inspired restaurant in Goleta/SB. As I mentioned above this is a humble little restaurant advertising their pho and noodle dishes. We found street parking pretty easily but I could see how it would be more challenging on the weekends. The restaurant just gives classic old school diner restaurant vibes, no frills, you come here for the food and not the ambiance. Fine by me. I love that the tables are stacked with chopsticks, spoons, and chili oil canisters, that is always a good sign. Service was very efficient and the gentleman who served us was on top of things. He checked up on us many times throughout our dining experience and we were impressed how quickly the food came out and it was piping hot! Super fresh and everything came out, correctly to order. I ordered the egg rolls and the big flat combo noodles that had shrimp, chicken, and beef while my friend ordered the same one but with just beef as the protein. Thai egg rolls were a solid 4/5 as they were crispy, fresh, and the light broth for dipping was good. The noodles though were a 5/5. I love a thick rice noodle and this had plenty of protein to noodle ratio. Really what makes it so delicious is the sauce mixture with the noodles. It was super filling but we couldn't stop eating it because it was so delicious. Add chili oil and this was the best dish I ate this week. Fabulous! Lastly, the value and pricing here is incredibly reasonable. I couldn't believe how big the portions were for under $15. You really can't find that value for such good food anywhere else. This place is a dive, the bathrooms aren't super clean so I know that gives some people the ick but I accepted this place for what it is. It's no frills and probably they don't care as much as they are just striving to get customers in and out with stellar Vietnamese inspired dishes. You don't come here for the ambiance it's all about the food. ”

“ Literally the best pho spot in Santa Barbara. When it comes to the Asian food scene (whether it be Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, etcetera) Santa Barbara is not currently big on it. Noodle city is the gem that hits my pho cravings whenever I need it in SB! Service is efficient and quick, but don't go looking for friendly service here! Food is yummy and taste as close to authentic as you can get in the area. Noodle city used to be my go to when I lived in Isla Vista and is still my go to when I visit and crave some quick and yummy Vietnamese food. ”
