Reckless Noodle House and Cocktails

We've walked by this place a bunch of times & it's been full every time, so we thought 'Let's give it a try!' Boy were we glad we did! This is a fantastic place, atmosphere is like hip boathouse-polynesian feel. The service was attentive, helpful, honest, & friendly. Max was our dude! The food was on fire! Ordered a 2nd round of wontons & it didn't disappoint. Drinks & dessert were delicious. What an experience! Midas 5-stars - For the food & nice touches to the eating experience.

Expertly managed dining experience, from the text queuing system, to check-in, and the well laid out dining space - the restaurant was jumping but we never had to wait for service. Our starters came out quickly and were all excellent - papaya salad, wontons, beef, crispy duck rolls, fresh rolls - all tasted delicious and looked great. My Pastrami fried rice main was a big portion, complete with a perfectly cooked boiled egg - not too runny, not too hard, just right. Interesting cocktail menu as well.

I've been to reckless twice now, and I've enjoyed it equally each time. The space is small but they have a dining, lounge and outdoor seating. While waiting for your table you can drink at the bar. They have a variety of fun and delightful drinks that are great with bar snacks like spicy nuts. Its intimate enough for a date, and the menu is diverse enough for a small group outing. I recommend family style eating so you can try more from the menu each time you go. I would recommend a reservation. I'm not sure if there is parking but I've never had a problem finding parking on the surrounding streets.

This was in my list of places to try for quite a while and finally made it in just before dinner rush. Didn't have to wait long for a table and it was nice to be able to wait in the bar. The signature cocktails were good and decently strong; only seemed a little expensive for having been poured from a large premixed jug instead of handmade. Tamarind seafood udon was full of great shellfish (not overcooked!) and squid and thick handmade noodles. The curry rockfish was advertised as coming with bánh hoi but was served with a completely different type of rice noodle. Overall we left full and happy and made it out almost exactly at the 90 minute time limit.

The noodles were perfectly cooked to a delightful chewiness for the ma La beef noodle and it was so flavorful. The broth in the curry vermicelli bowl was delicious and the noodles had a nice tender texture. Whether you’re a die-hard ramen lover or a fan of Thai-inspired noodle dishes, this restaurant has something to offer for every palate!

I'm not good at going places by myself, but Reckless Noodle House was a great experience. The music was a decent volume (I could hear myself think and I could hear the murmur of conversation across the room... Basically my ear drums were NOT throbbing, unlike other bars). Even though I was seated at the bar when there was only one seat available, there was plenty of room between me and the others where we could all rest our elbows comfortably on the table. The servers were so nice and the bartender was very attentive and kind. The food was delicious. For water fiends like myself, they provide you your own cravat. I got the Reckless Love cocktail (YUM), Mù Xū Roast Duck Crispy Roll (the server explained the best way to eat it, the sauce definitely wasn't too spicy once I mixed the sauces), and the creme brulee (it had more to the name but the bartender just told me what it was and I don't remember the whole thing. The creme brulee was good but the sugar was a bit burnt, like it tasted burnt on top but overall was still delicious).
