Didn't expect to find good hand pulled noodles in Galway. We went for Saturday lunch, after realizing that every other Irish pub was full. No regrets this place was clean, quiet, and the food and service was great.

NoodlesVegetarian & vegan choicesFriendly staff
First night in Galway and we wanted something warm and flavorful. Had this place bookmarked when trip planning and were so pleased it lived up to the expectations.
Great atmosphere and within a minute we were offered a vegan menu- woo!
Corn Ribs - these were good but the next starter stole the show.
Spicy chips - fries with the most tantalizing spices. We devoured this and if we didnt have other dishes coming, would have easily eaten another plate!
Sichuan Sauce with seitan- darker sauce with seitan chunks that added great richness and depth to a slightly sweet peppery base.
We also had a tofu dish that uses a tomato base sauce - I cant remember the name of this other than it began with an “M”. This was a great compliment to the seitan dish.
We dug into the mains before I could get a good picture 😀
Great atmosphere and so cool to hear the rushing water down the river just in front of the restaurant when you walk out.
WOW, I’ve been here a few times and have never been disappointed. The food is absolutely phenomenal, the staff are incredibly welcoming, and it is a beautiful restaurant. If you haven’t tried it, you’re missing out! Also, hands down the BEST bubble tea I’ve ever had
