I am pretty sure that this restaurant is the only thai place to make a massaman with chicken as opposed to beef like everywhere else that I have been. But in actual fact I regularly have this dish as I don't eat beef and have found it to be my favourite dish of all especially with the yellow fried rice as an accompaniment.

This is just another very mediocre Thai that won't do a lot to keep customers coming back.

Bland flavorless noodle dishes that a 10 year old wasn't impressed with and even asked if he could get some from across the road. Chicken Massaman curry had no flavour at all and the chicken in it was very ordinary.

Service and ambience are fine as it is just a small size place similar to many others on the peninsula but there are many that do it much better around here though. Again another Thai in the area going through the motions of serving up bland mediocre favorites that just aren't very good. Much better around than this.

Very cute little noodle bar, nice food and very friendly staff. Portions were a tad small but service was fast and food was tasty. Would definitely return!

Decided to eat at this restaurant based on some of the reviews posted on this site. Unfortunately, my girlfriend and I were left little impressed after our evening here. I tried the one of the specials of the night (garlic king prawns with snow peas) for $17.50. This entitled me to 5 prawns and a hand full of snowpeas. Service was average and as stated very poor value for money.

Above average asian byo. Have eaten here 3 times and the noodles are very good indeed. Had the dumplings as a special once and they were excellent. Lunch is particularly good value. Good to have a reliable and cheapish asian locally.

Salt and pepper squid, yum! Thai fish cakes, the best. Fried fish Choo Chee with green beans and a side of garlic Jasmine rice, sublime. Service, unassuming and pleasant. Concept (mix and match style with your choice of protein and noodle), innovative. Food is excellent. Value is outstanding. Try it, you'll like it.

My friends happened upon this place on a weekday evening and found the food to be of such great quality it has become a regular. At $12-13 for a fresh bowl of duck basil stir fry noodles, it offers value for money. After having the privilege of speaking to the Chef, I also found out that they did not use MSG [flavour enhancers], a common ingredient in many Asian Restaurants to give an artificial boost of tastiness to the dish. [I know this, because after eating food containing MSG my asthma tends to play up, and it has never done that at Nood].

Nood achieves the same great taste everytime without fail. It also gives the feeling of a great family restaurant. What a great relaxing way to spend a night with some friends, a bottle of wine, home-style Thai cooking, and a warm customer service. Keep it up Nood!

Food is comfortably on the better side of average. The place is a little claustrophobic so be mindful of your conversation volume levels esp. regarding the divorce, or your bunions.

The only other criticism I would make concerns the woman whom I presumed to be the senior staff. This individual appeared intermittently during our sitting, surveying the premises with the grim visage of a 1950's Girls High School Headmistress, keeping her prize-winning smile tightly under wraps. However, the waitress on duty was affable enough.

Inexpensive Thai food, I generally only buy from Nood for a fast lunch time meal. Little difference in flavour between the curries, with no chilli whatsoever. Noodles are okay, however, Pad Thai was the worst I'd ever tried, oily with no flavour.
