My go-to for lunchtime laksa in the CBD! I confess I'm probably one of the only people in Sydney who prefers it to Malay-Chinese.. even though the soup and toppings at Malay-Chinese are objectively better. I prefer the laksa at CBD Noodles because it is more savoury rather than sweet, the wide flat rice noodles are firmer (with more of a body) and the sambal has slightly more character (with a more pronounced prawn flavour). Note that it can get pretty spicy for the untrained, especially with the sambal.
At CBD Noodle are two queues: one for wok-fried noodles, the other for soup noodles. The line for the wok-fried noodles is usually longer, although I have only ever had the soup noodles. Lunch on weekdays tends to be packed from 12-1pm, but occasionally I have encountered a short line or even no line at all. In any case, it moves relatively fast - at maximum, a 10 minute wait to order and an additional 10 minutes to receive your noodles.
On the soup noodles side, there is also a choice of tom yum noodles or noodles with clear soup (usually with wontons). Once prepared, the lady at the end will ask whether you'd like it topped with shallots, fried onion and/or coriander - you can choose a maximum of two. In addition, you can have sambal (although the lady calls it "chilli") in the noodles or on a spoon on the side.
Overall, a quick, cheap, filling and delicious option for lunch!
One of my regular spots in the city to go for noodles and the noodles are always consistently good and never disappoints. I usually order the chicken noodle soup and I always ask for lots of chili paste the lady at the counter offers. It does feel like a reasonably healthy dish as well with chicken breast mainly used here with some veggies too.
There's always a huge line here and it's a good indication on the quality of food available.
