"I've been to Boom Noodle in the past, at different locations, and the food was quite good. However, on this visit, the food was just mediocre. The biggest disappointment was the pork in my noodle dish was practically all fat and grizzle. For $12 I would except some quality meat in my dish. Still, the atmosphere is trendy, and nice. The service was friendly, but the food seems to have gone downhill. I'll give them another chance, but my co-workers and I were disappointed by our experience on this trip."

"Kimchi ramen was very good. The drinks were interesting. Service was prompt and freindly. Prices were a little steep for ramen but overall a goo experience."

"I've been to Boom Noodle 3 times in the past few years, and each time the menu was slightly different. I appreciate restaurant's that adapt their offerings to customer's wants, and fine-tune items that need improvement. This latest menu was outstanding. It actually had FEWER noodle soups; the original menu had 15-20 different types. This menu has pared down to the best of those, and incorporated a few entrees, salads, and sides. Flavors are full of umami. The drink menu has creative cocktails, and they even have signature non-alcoholic drinks, such as a cucumber mint refresher, which I really appreciate. They'll adapt almost any noodle soup to rice noodles so it can be gluten free."

"This place looks nice, good feel to it. The food however is overpriced and not very good. I had Pud Thai, which is fairly common, it was just a bunch of sticky noodles, with no flavor/sauce and some (maybe 4 pieces) of chicken on top, not mixed through out and my food was COLD. I could not believe that's all it was for 15 bucks, i love Thai, and I couldn't even eat a third of what I was given. It was bad. The rest of my party said the food was okay, but overpriced and bland.
It was loud, nothing special, but it was hard to hear our dinner companions across the table without yelling. I do not think I will return. I felt ripped off and I has to repeat requests to the server."

"I have enjoyed dining at Boom several times in the past while seated at the bar with a friend or two. The food was good and the service was relaxed and friendly. But, my experience at a table on busy Saturday night was not as good. Its atmosphere was very loud and the servers were obviously rushed. We felt in a hurry to get out of there - both because of the noise and the stressed service staff. The food is good if you like garlic."
