Description

Summary: A cozy venue with communal tables and an open kitchen.

NoodleBird is a warm, casual dining spot in Chicago, serving global comfort food with a focus on house-made noodles and communal high-top seating. The restaurant, which is the successor to the beloved Fat Rice, retains its open kitchen and bar seating. The menu features Cantonese-style char siu pork collar, jumbo shrimp with chili-garlic, and fluffy coconut rice. The wide, house-made rice noodles come steamed or wok-seared, accompanied by a variety of toppings like minced soy sauce beef, smoked tofu, or smoked mushrooms. Guests are encouraged to indulge in the offerings, especially the must-try egg custard tarts, a creamy dessert that's a tribute to the restaurant's predecessor. The venue is designed for comfort, with communal tables and a rustic ambiance that invites diners to relax and enjoy their meal.
