Noodles Ranch is the creation of Chef André Nguyen and his wife Noel. The couple was born in Vietnam but came to the USA in 1973. They settled in the Seattle, Washington, area, where they ran a successful restaurant called André's Eurasian Bistro for 17 years. A little over a year ago they moved to Gilbert, looking for a little drier climate. Of course, they wanted to share their Vietnamese Cuisine with everyone in Arizona, so they opened Noodles Ranch. André is a very creative, classically trained chef. His original recipes are the subject of a book he and Yukiko Moriyama published in 2003. The book is available at Noodles Ranch and at Amazon.com

Every dish at Noodles Ranch is prepared on order--no steam tables and holding pans here. While the food is the star of the show, the service is impeccable. Noel makes sure your visit to Noodles Ranch is a great dining experience. Noodles Ranch is tastefully decorated with warm colors and understated elegance.

Noodles Ranch is at the corner of Scottsdale and Thomas Roads in the Albertsons Shopping Center.

Stephen Lemons, New Times Food Writer Says:

So far, I've eaten four times at Scottsdale's Noodles Ranch, a Vietnamese bistro set in a small shopping center on the southeast corner of Scottsdale and Thomas roads. The combined total of all of my meals there, which on each occasion included a companion and excess

Noel and André

vittles, equaled the price of one dinner for two at such spots where only the swells up..

You won't be slumming it at Noodles Ranch. Though not fancy, it is charming enough, with red paper umbrellas hanging from the ceiling, and electric-blue-and-silver booths. The Prussian blue walls are hung with blowups of black-and-white photos depicting, say, a Vietnamese market or Vietnamese ladies in traditional ao dais traversing a rickety bamboo bridge. Plaintive Vietnamese tunes are piped in via stereo, rounding out the ambiance

The fried Vietnamese egg rolls (sometimes called spring rolls), filled with minced pork, carrots and mushrooms, and the rice-paper-wrapped spring rolls (sometimes called summer rolls), stuffed with sliced pork, shrimp and mint, were both exceptional. So was the thin, omelet-like "crispy happy pancake," kinda like a Vietnamese crepe, crafted with rice flour and stuffed with shrimp, pork and bean sprouts. Slightly greasy and terribly engrossing.

Noodles Ranch has a silly name but seriously good food.

Noodle dishes dominate at this Vietnamese restaurant, which, like many of the Valley's dining gems, is tucked in a shopping center, this one in south Scottsdale along with a grocery store, tanning salon and dry cleaner.

The noodles come thin and thick, sweet and spicy, stir-fried and in broth. Best of all, the dishes are superbly priced - everything is $8.50 or less. OAS_AD('ArticleFlex_1')

For starters, there are deep-fried temptations such as egg rolls ($5) and shrimp-sweet potato tempura ($7.50).

But why blow your diet when there are healthful alternatives such as spring rolls, or goi cuon thit tom, ($5.50) and green papaya salad, or goi du du, ($7.50)?
