I picked up some schezuan noodles for lunch & they did not disappoint! Very flavorful.
Service was friendly. I would recommend getting some broth on the side of its dry noodles, I think it would complement very well!
Great value for money for the lunch specials. Flavors are on point.
I tried their coco curry, Jacarta noodles & the beef rendang. The noodles were delicious. You can tell the broth was simmered well, giving it a deep, rich flavor. The beef rendang tasted good as well, but for the price, it felt a bit expensive since it uses beef strips (instead of the traditional beef chuck) & the portion of meat was quite small.
Quick & friendly service. The dishes are flavor bombs that delive
I had an amazing experience at FooFooNoodz! The noodles were cooked to perfection-springy, fresh, & full of flavor. The broth was rich & comforting, not too salty, with just the right balance of spices. Portion sizes are generous, & everything tasted homemade with real attention to detail.
The staff was super friendly & welcoming, making the whole visit even better. Service was quick, & the restaurant itself has a cozy, modern vibe that makes you want to stay a little longer.
Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a full meal, FooFooNoodz definitely delivers. Highly recommend it if you're looking for delicious, authentic noodles with great service!
This a really good noodle restaurant. The flavors are immaculate, staff is lovely. My family & i love going there for a filling meal!
No way!!!!!!
This noodles are amazing, super flavored, great ingredients & the portions are great, definitely this will be my new noodles place!!!
Also the service was amazing, I heard a guy from the kitchen saying, Bonne appétit !
Sorry for the photo but it's the only one that I could take.

Be careful, this is just my personal opinion:
The first thing that came to my mind was that, to truly enjoy the full flavor of ramen, it has to be served in a real stone or ceramic bowl. The taste just isn't the same in a plastic or paper bowl.
The menu isn't as varied as other ramen restaurants, & I feel it's a bit overpriced for takeout. I regret leaving a 15% tip for five ramen bowls that were handed to us in a paper bag, even though we were ready to sit down & eat at a table. We did end up eating there, but after 20 minutes, we were left with a pile of unnecessary garbage-not worth it in my opinion.
It was nice to try once, but it's definitely not on my list to return. I didn't even mention the taste of the noodles because, compared to other ramen spots I've tried, this one was just okay.
Tried this new spot today with my friend Sarah, & let me just say… this place is noodles first, no shortcuts.
Most things here are made from scratch…bouncy egg noodles, rich broths, & garlic oil that coats everything in this deep, cozy aroma. You can tell they really care about the details.
Here's what we tried:
🍜 Jakarta Noodles
Homemade egg noodles tossed in garlic oil (so fragrant!), with sweet soy-braised chicken, mushrooms, & yu choi. It comes with a light chicken soup on the side that you can pour over. This one was the most comforting of the bunch, & the chicken was super tender without being too fatty. Loved the little heat from the sambal too.
🥩 Taipei Beef Noodles
This one had great flavor & texture! Especially the spiced beef bone broth that comes on the side, plus crispy garlic & coriander. But heads up: the beef was a bit fattier than I personally like. If you don't mind that, you'll probably love it!
🍛 Coco Curry (my favorite)
This bowl had everything: tofu, pork belly, fish balls, shrimp, chicken, & more.. all swimming in a creamy coconut curry broth. It was spicy, savory, & super rich in flavor. A total standout for me.
I also appreciated that all the broths come on the side so you can mix it in at your own pace. Everything felt fresh & really fun to eat.
Foxy Tip: Don't skip the sambal & chili oil. A little goes a long way, & it makes each bite pop.
I share local foodie finds & cultural gems at @foxyappetite on Instagram & @foxy.appetite on TikTok - & this spot definitely earned a shoutout.
This meal was comped as part of a media tasting - sharing my honest thoughts above. 🫶🏽
Good food, great vibes - totally worth the bike ride.
The noodles were on point, packed with flavor & cooked just right. Chill atmosphere & friendly service made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.
Came for the noodles, stayed for the broth-because once you taste this kind of magic, there's no going back. FooFoo isn't just a meal, it's a full-blown obsession. The flavors slap, the noodles are legit, & your favorite spot just got replaced.Bam!
Alright, let's go over the good, the bad, & the in between in as much detail as I can provide. I went there with 2 friends, & we got the Coco Curry & the Taipei Beef Noodles
First, the in between:
The place is small, with only 3 or 4 seats at a small table in front of the window. It was clearly not intended to be a sit-down restaurant, but more of a take-out place. That's not a bad thing, but it is important to know that before you go there.
The menu is quite small with 6 items total. Half of those are dry noodles meaning there is no broth base, & the other half have a broth base (I will refer to these as'wet noodles' from now on). Again this is not a bad thing, with less variety, it often means the dishes they do make are better than normal since they specialize in them.
Now the bad:
Reactions to the food were mixed, but overall very positive. & if the overall impression is positive despite this being the'bad' section, that should tell you something. The main complaint I heard from friends was that the noodles didn't quite fit the broth. While I personally disagree with them, I felt it was important to include their thoughts. They said it'was still good noodles, I just don't think it complimented the broth.'
The only other complaint I heard was'It seems expensive' which they said before we ate the food, & got a good look at portion size & such. In total, with tax & tip, it comes out to around $30 for a bowl of noodles, though I will note we did buy the more expensive options from the menu, & will further state that all of the wet noodles are at this price point. 2 of the dry noodle options would be around $25 instead.
Now the good:
It was filling, & I feel this is especially important to note after talking about price. I generally can eat a lot, & I finished my dish feeling I did not need to eat more, but also not like I was bloated. Perfect portion size for me. Personally, I think that the $30 price point was good for the amount of food I got, the quality of that food, & the sense of fullness it gave me.
The broth was delicious. I tried the Taipei broth, it was very tasty, & my friend who ordered it is convinced they chose the better bowl, & I disagree with them. I think the Taipei bowl had broth more akin to typical ramen, & it was done very well. The Coco Curry, Which I ordered, was also delicious, but is definitely not your typical ramen broth, from my experience. The soft coconut flavor is complimented by a slight spice that gives the broth a great overall flavor, very much akin to an actual curry. I could see myself getting either of the two bowls again in the future. I cannot stress this enough, the broth was the best part of the dish for me & my friends.
I give 4 stars only to account for my friends opinions that the noodles did not compliment the broth. I will be going back some time in the future & will try one of the dry noodle options to see how I feel about the noodles without the delicious broth.
