This place is fantastic! Some of the best chow fun, pork buns and gyoza I have ever eaten. I rarely write reviews (I think this is my second) because I do not consider myself a social influencer and my opinions are derived from my own views and palate. However I loved the food, the owner was lovely and the prices are very reasonable. So for whatever it's worth, I loved AJ Noodle Bar and would highly recommend this place to anyone who has been searching for great Asian cuisine on the CT Shoreline.

My wife and I dined at AJ Noodle Bar and were again delighted with our meal. We started the meal with a Seaweed Salad appetizer that was generous and tasted phenomenal. My wife ordered Japanese Udon Stir Fry with Chicken for her entree and she loved her meal. I ordered the Curry Noodle Soup with Seafood and it too was amazing. We will definitely dine again soon at AJ Noodle Bar.

We were greeted and seated immediately and given menus. It was smaller than I expected but cozy and more seating outside. It wasn't busy when we went so I chatted with our host. They do a lot of takeout too. I tried the bulgogi fried rice bowl and my husband got the chicken fried rice. I also got a Thai iced coffee that was pretty good but a little sweeter than I liked. I loved the boba addition. Our food was amazing loved it. They happily accommodated no onions and added pineapple to his rice. Food was piping hot upon arrival it was very nice and low key. We will definitely go back to try more things!

This place is amazing!! ALWAYS great service and food. Ate here 15+ times and not once had any issues!! So many great dishes that it is hard to choose from. The main lady that works there is always so nice and helpful. Sometimes can be a little expensive, but in my mind it's worth every penny!! Best dishes: Chicken Mei Fun Beef rice bowl Chicken Hibachi Chicken udon (no mushrooms)

Service was fast, and prices were reasonable. I got the Tonkotsu Ramen and the broth was really flavorful! My only gripe was that that Chashu was a bit dry but overall, the food was good.

I'm not lying when I say I've been here at least 50 times. The tonkotsu is EXCELLENT. Yummy soft boiled eggs. Lovely broth and tender pork belly. Will go again 10/10

Loving this addition to Old Saybrook, AJ Noodle Bar! Before, the closest ramen or bubble tea place was in Middletown. We were greeted by a super sweet woman (I'm assuming she's the owner?) when we entered and guided us to choose our seats. It felt very welcoming. AJ Noodle Bar's menu is simple and has all the classics gyozas, pork buns, rice dishes, stir-fry, ramen and more. We tried the Vegetable Ramen and Bulgogi Fries with Taro and Thai Coffee Bubble Tea. Everything was delicious. The ramen was a big serving of noodles with fried tofu, zucchini, mushrooms, carrots and bok choy. The Bulgogi Fries were a big hit too and highly give them a try. We ordered it with the mayo and spicy sauce on the side. Share it or have it as your meal, it's very filling and satisfying. The bubble tea was so good, the boba lightly sweeten and boba cooked perfectly. AJ Noodle Bar is tucked in the plaza with the AAA office and the Paperback Cafe on Main Street. Love that it's in the plaza because of the parking lot! The restaurant is small inside, but is very busy. There is bar like seating at the window looking out to the parking lot and tables that could hold 4-6 people. On spring or summer days, there is outdoor seating too. It does seem they do a lot of takeout orders and you can order online. If I am in the Old Saybrook, I would love to stop by again to try more. I can't wait to try some of there desserts like Green Tea Tiramisu (we were too full this trip)!

A solid spot to get ramen and rice bowl in the area. It's a small cozy spot and our group of 7 was able to push 2 tables together during lunch. If you have more than 7 people I would recommend calling ahead though. We had the Tonkutsu ramen, beef rice bowl, fried gyoza, takoyaki and fried shumai. The broth and ramen itself was just a tad bland but the charsui pork was very flavorful and tender. The beef rice bowl was good and really flavorful. My daughter enjoyed the gyoza and shumai. The takoyaki was a miss for me. Too much dough and not enough tako pieces. Overall, the food and service was good enough to earn a 4 star from me.

Is it the best ramen? No. This is also a ramen shop in the burbs... of Connecticut... keep that in mind. However with that said, if you're craving a decent bowl of hot ramen or rice bowl, AJ Noodle Bar will hit the spot. Cozy small shop, with a handful of tables, the hostess/waitress was attentive and efficient. -Tonkutsu ramen is going to be the better option (not the bestest broth but quick fix) -Bulgogi ramen could be your back-up option, the fatty beef is good -beef rice bowl was delicious -chicken rice bowl was a bit dry but still decent -gyoza pan fried was ok -takoyaki is meh... crunchy but not a lot of tako... you can have better ones elsewhere -fried shumai, kids liked it Had a Thai Bubble tea, Thai coffee boba - both were pretty darn good. Overall a good spot to 1) satisfy your rice or noodle craving and 2) have decent food besides the lobster rolls. #vacationmode #townofclinton
