Absolutely fantastic - Edit
Great to have a fully vegan Thai restaurant in Samui. I tried the khao soi, tastes exactly like in chiang mai and the mock meat was incredible.

HI there Helen. Thanks so much for your positive review and apologies for the slow response. It always gives us a boost to know that customers such as yourself are enjoying what we do : ) We hope you have time to visit us again this trip or the next time you travel to Samui. We will have dried out from this year's very wet Rainy Season by then 😁

Super lecker, leider bissl wenig - Edit
Wir waren schon zweimal dort und es schmeckt sehr lecker. Die Portionen sind etwas klein, sodass man ohne Vorspeise nicht satt wird.

Cons: Zu kleine Portionen

Hallo Katharina. Vielen Dank, dass Sie während Ihres Aufenthalts auf Koh Samui zweimal bei uns bei Noodles Now waren. Wir wissen das sehr zu schätzen und freuen uns, dass Ihnen das Essen und der Service gefallen haben. Wir freuen uns über Ihren Kommentar zur Portionsgröße. Es geht immer darum, die richtigen Portionen zuzubereiten – nicht zu wenig –, aber auch zu vermeiden, dass Verschwendung entsteht, wenn die Portionen zu groß sind. Wir werden nächsten Monat einige Verfeinerungen an der aktuellen Speisekarte vornehmen und werden dabei Ihre Kommentare berücksichtigen.

New, Fresh, Tasty - Edit
This restaurant is now proudly and deliciously 100% plant based. Zesty and tasty we serve Thai Tapas (street-food style snacks), wonderfully flavorful noodles dishes from Thailand and the region, and cool refreshing sweet treats. Our food is a modern take on classic Thai and regional dishes with inspired taste combinations and just the right amount of fiery pep. Really delicious. We are wanting to create a menu which is delicious for all and 100% plant based. We aim to offer new and tasty dishes to vegan and non-vegan customers who are wanting something a bit different. There is a fully stocked bar, a pool table, and happy hours on drinks daily between 4pm and 6pm. The atmosphere is laid back, relaxed, and

Quite a Surprise - Edit
The food was really good. A friend had recommended I try it out on my holiday and I'm glad I did. Actually went twice - the first time I sampled some of the tapas starters and found them very full of flavor and different from anything else I had in Thailand. The second time I had noodles and really enjoyed the spicy hot Pad Kra Pao noodles - burning spicy but tingling not full bush fire hot. Great friendly service and reasonable prices. I hope to go back next holiday.

Superb noodles - Edit
I wasn't blown away by the starters and dessert (they seemed overpriced for what they were and not quite as good as i'd hoped), but the (homemade wheat) noodles were superb! Will definitely be going back to try out all the noodle mains

Hi Mark. Thanks for being with us in January of this year and my apologies for taking so long to respond. We are happy to say that business on Ko Samui has picked up post COVID faster than expected and this, our first year end holiday season has been quite a challenge. But we are thrilled by it all and delighted that you took the time to leave this positive review. If you are ever back on lovely Samui we will be most pleased to welcome you back to Noodles Now.

Great Inventive Vegan Options - Edit
This place was quite a find. It is tantalisingly close to being fully vegan, but not quite there, so is buried amongst many other not particularly tempting places on Happy Cow and other sites. We very nearly missed it.
Read moreHowever in an area where there is a surprising lack of fully vegan places this is a total standout. 80% of the menu is vegan, the food is delicious, service is friendly, and prices are reasonable.
We were very excited to see smoked tofu on the menu and ordered coconut crusted smoked tofu skewers with satay sauce for starters. Our wholewheat lemongrass noodles (again with smoked tofu) were also delicious, in fact some of the best noodles we have had in Thailand.
I wish we had found this place earlier and I cannot recommend it enough. Vegan options in many of the local tourist restaurants are often an afterthought or questionably vegan friendly. This was definitely not the case here. It may be a little off the main tourist strip but is definitely worth the effort.
Pros: Delicious Inventive Vegan Options, 80% Vegan
Cons: Some meat/fish on menu

Hello Chris. Thanks for finding us on Happy Cow. We just listed a few days ago - so I guess that is why our listing is not so visible. Thanks for the glowing review which will certainly help with our placement. We appreciate your comments immensely and they reinforce that our plan to head 100% plant based is definitely do-able. It is a challenge in this peculiar market - mainly touristic and not having a substantial resident population. But we are learning all the time and will continue on the journey. We certainly believe tasty and exciting food can be created using only plant based ingredients and the more we all do this the more wonderful the options will become. Thanks once again and we hope to see you at Noodles Now on Samui again on your next visit. Mark, Bruce and the NN Team

Lots of vegan-friendly options - Edit
A little bit away from the busier nightlife, but we found Noodles Now to be well worth the walk.
Read morePleasant atmosphere with friendly staff, we both opted for the coconut crusted smoked tofu batons with peanut sauce to start, and we followed that with sticky lemongrass noodles with pan grilled smoked tofu. All delicious!
Their menu has a lot of plant-based/vegan-friendly options, although unfortunately they also serve some animal products, including chicken, fish and egg. Nonetheless, I would recommend this place - hoping more vegan clientele will help them make the shift to a fully vegan menu.
Pros: Loads of vegan-friendly options, Lovely service, Pleasant atmosphere
Cons: Not fully vegan

Hello Andy
Read moreThank you for your review and for, in fact, being our first reviewer. Yay! We are thrilled you enjoyed your meals with us and for the positive comments. It means a lot to us all. We are a small restaurant on a tourist island and have been open for just 6 months. We would love to have a 100% plant based menu and are working towards this - but at this time we are feeling our way in the market place. We recently introduced our new menu in which we increased the vegan content and hope to do the same next menu change. We are committed to developing innovative, fresh and tasty meatless food - working on new ideas as we speak! 😀 So, please - Watch this space. Thanks once again for your support and we hope your holiday continues to go well. Mark, Bruce and the NN Team
