VU noodle house are by far the best place on campus to grab a bite to eat. Super affordable and very high quality food. Students especially will find this little cafe to be a gold mine for well priced and portioned food and drink. Would highly recommend whether it’s a quick feed during class break or if you’re looking for a proper meal.

I recently visited VU Cafe Noodle House and had an exceptional experience! Andy, the owner, is a great guy who truly cares about his customers. The food quality is excellent, with each dish bursting with flavor. The potato cakes are an absolute standout—crispy on the outside, soft and savory on the inside. The entire staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
