Dr Noodles - Aberdeen City

My daughter and I always enjoyed a meal at Dr Noodles at the top of Union Street, but it's closed now. There is another on Upperkirkgate, but it's not the same.

I love the concept of ordering food just as you like it, so first you order size and believe me, a small box is enough for one person. Then your noodles or rice, then your protein and finally your sauce. Just be careful because the 3 chili sauce is super spicy. Food is tasty. The Union St. shop has closed and has moved behind the Bon Accord now.

I went in today and ordered noodles with chicken, honey and soy sauce. I assumed, wrongly, that the sauce would be home made. I watched gobsmacked as the guy serving me put plain noodles and boiled chicken dripping in water in a box and proceeded to skirt cold Rowse honey and a dash of soy sauce from a bottle on top. I could have done this myself at home. I’m afraid to say I left but not before a customer came in complained about his meal being tasteless. I mean seriously? Call this an eatery?

My wife saw the restaurant while we were in Aberdeen last week. The normal size box can easily feed two people. Noodles were very tasty. Also tried the green curry which was spicy and plentiful. Can eat in and take out also. Good decor and eating areas. Quality food with great service for a very reasonable price.

Easy menu to navigate and I ordered the noodles with chicken and curry. As I was eating in I opted for a bowl instead of a box. Food was hot and didn’t take long. The chicken was a little strange, as if it was pre shaped or processed. Overall I was quite disappointed as the whole dish was just a little bland. Doesn’t hold a candle to Wagammama.
