  Their Black Bean sauce is out of this world. I dunno how they do it. Well, I'm under no illusions really, no doubt there is a tonne of MSG in there, not to mention a bucket of salt, but it really is soo good. That combined with the delicious Char Siu and crispy fresh veggies, it's a winner every time.
  
  Noodle bar seems to be open 24-7, so caters for everyone, business types at lunch and the Sauchiehall drunks at night.
  
  The portions are huge so you can easily split it with a mate...but remember, if taken as a late night treat, do take a pint of water to bed with you....you'll need it when you wake up.
  
  Also, the toilets are reminiscent of that scene in Trainspotting. Love every bit of this joint though, so much character.

  I had lunch here and realized there is menu for non-Chinatown food like sweet and sour pork. However, anything I want from this menu was out of stock and I was so disappointed to get sweet and sour pork. The only thing is good is I only pay about £6 for the dish.

  Me and a friend came here for something to eat. Food is always nice. But when my friend spotted the syringe and a used condom in the males toilets, then you know it's like an episode from trainspotting.
  
  I needed to use the toilets, so I took a few pictures as you'll see of the condom and syringe. My friend noticed when a male junkie went up stairs, woman junkie followed him and locked the door to the stairs. He thinks they were dealing.

  It's amazing how you see things different when you are sober. Dirty smelly public toilets in here that the staff also use. The chicken chow mein that I've seen more meat on a sparrows kneecap. The smell in the restaurant section reminds me of an old folks home but worse the smell of urine and that's just the restaurant part. Avoid at all costs

  The Noodle Bar is a Glasgow institution -- at least for clubbers. It's fine dining for the intoxicated cast from the clubs and onto the streets at 2-3am after a long night's dancing.
  
  It's not the greatest rice and noodles you'll ever eat, but usually, under the circumstances, it hits the spot. Quite greasy but the prices are reasonable and it's basically a sit-in version of every other take-away in the Charing Cross area. It's within stumbling distance of Garage, ABC, and more, which makes it absolutely perfect!
  
  One thing, though: I wouldn't use the loos if I were you, even if you are absolutely desperate.
