Noodle Nation - High Wycombe

Located near Wycombe Hospital and Bucks New University, this restaurant is a great spot for a casual early dinner. The menu offers a wide variety of options and the service is efficient and friendly. It can get quite busy before shows at The Swan theater.

We decided to order takeout from Noodle Nation. I had been wanting to try it for some time, despite knowing it was pricier than other Chinese noodle spots. I was curious to see what all the buzz was about. However, I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the food. The prices were almost double what I would normally pay for Chinese takeout, so I expected the dishes to be fresh and flavorful, but they fell short. We spent £51 on delivery for dishes such as rice, noodles, sweet and sour chicken, prawn toast, salt and pepper prawns, and chicken balls. The portions were small and lacked flavor, except for the overly spicy prawns. The chicken balls were essentially frozen nuggets deep fried and priced at £7.45. It was a truly disappointing experience. Needless to say, we will be sticking to our usual Chinese takeout in the future. Save your money and don't believe the hype.

Noodle Nation (formerly noodlebar) has a huge place in my teenage and early adult years. During school, college and uni I would frequently hang out here with friends and enjoy the huge portions and low prices, or grab a takeaway to eat at the bus station after work. I went there for a meal with a friend recently and was surprised by the lack of vegan options available, especially during Veganuary. There were only two or three mains options on the vast menu. A lot of the side dishes would be vegan but are cooked in the same oil as meat dishes so are non-vegan due to contamination, meaning there were no sides I could enjoy. I opted for the vegetable pad Thai and while the portion size is still massive, I found the noodles themselves to be very mushy. I also noticed that my Pepsi had a distinctly mouldy aftertaste which occurs when the lines on the soda siphon aren’t cleaned regularly. The serving staff were all excellent and lovely and I love the vibe and the nostalgia I get from Noodle Nation, but I thought it was a real let down in 2023 to have such limited vegan options available.

Food was nice. Over priced but ok. The saturday lunchtime staff had about as much personality and motivation of a dehydrated snail on a hot day. Clearly didn't want too be there and didnt know what they were doing. Need some more trained staff who enjoy what they do.

Excellent takeaway for the family. Delicious selection of food which arrived quickly. We have had food from this takeaway numerous times and always enjoyed it. A firm family favourite!
