    Yum! I love it here and they always make me Thai iced tea with boba! Don't get the bubble tea (slush) but get it regular. Trust me. Amazing. The soup is great and the lunch buffet is wonderful as well. Everything is very tasty and very affordable! The owner is very nice and is always a pleasure to deal with.

    Not a bad place if you're really craving Thai food. I've been here many times to get boba since there are none in Fairfield or Iowa...Im from California so I gotta get my fix. Came here with my girlfriend to eat lunch and would be my first time eating food here. My girlfriend orders the spicy noodles and I get the fried rice and chicken. Food takes a while since it's pretty busy with only 2 people working. Mine comes out quickly since it's from the buffet while my girlfriends noodles take some time. The rice was good but the chicken didn't have enough portions so I got more veggies than the chicken is ordered. While my girlfriends noodles were so spicy that she had a hard time eating it! And she's from Changsha China which is known for very spicy foods! I tried the noodles and it wasn't bad just extremely spicy. I've been to plenty of Thai restaurants in southern California since there everywhere but ive never had an experience like this. It wasn't bad nor good it was okay. The good thing I can say about it is is relatively cheap food and good pricing. Otherwise I feel like the owner of the restaurant has gotten tired of his business and it shows. I feel like he has worked so hard and has come to the point of just survival instead of coming to work in enjoyment. I recently just took a business class and feel that this place has potential but has lost its flame years ago. If the owner were to renew his passion for Thai food again I believe this place can be great. I've been to countless Thai restaurants that made me feel at home and can feel the culture of Thailand in them. But here I just feel like I'm at a restaurant that just serves Thai food rather than the Thai culture that is ingrained in the food. For my conclusion I must say if you want cheap filling food this would be the place but for extraordinary Thai food this isn't the place.

    It's true - it is the best "Thai" restaurant in Fairfield Iowa, a town of 9,500. But don't expect much if you're used to eating Thai on the West Coast or any major City. That said the owner is nice, the food is fresh, and you can ask for organic chicken. The Pad Thai is the worst I've ever had (often too soupy). The curries are decent and the buffet on Thursday nights has a Teriyaki chicken/potato dish that's good. Avoid the sushi. *** NOTE *** Anyone giving this place 4-5 stars simply hasn't been exposed to great Thai/Asian-fusion food. It is what it is - an option to get Thai food in a small midwestern town in Iowa, don't expect much more and you'll be happy.

    Inconsistent hours, horrible and rude service, attitude from the proprietor. I went in and the owner went to serve me from the buffet. When I expressed that I wanted to order from the menu, I was met with nothing but attitude.

    I'm glad that there was a Thai restaurant in town. Correction... a Chinese restaurant. I'm appalled that small town cheap labor low price were long gone in this town. It was really the sign of the time. It was like a cafeteria set up. There was no buffet here. It was really the combo meals like those mall vendors. You picked 2-3 items (steamed rice counted as one) for a set price respectively. The combo price was OK. The combo selection was limited at lunch. The foods looked OK. The menu selection was limited too. The menu price was a bit outrageous... $8-9 per dish. I ordered a Thai Chicken Noodle Soup ($5). The ying didn't blend well with the yang. The room-temperature chicken was most likely thrown onto the soup prior to coming out from the kitchen. It was the stored-bought hormone-rich meat... no flavor or taste. That's obvious... and there was nothing to hint at Thai flavors. If I really want to look at the positives, it's reasonably clean. There was free self served Thai hot tea and water. The server/husband/owner was hardworking. So diners, if you read this, most likely you're not a rural. It is OK for a Chinese restaurant in a small town with big city price. You can't go Thai here though.

    I am an avid fan of Thai food and have eaten at quite a few around the country. I know good Thai food! I pass through Fairfield frequently and will often stop at the Noodle House for lunch or dinner. I normally order off the buffet...which really is not a buffet but should be considered "cafeteria style" as you pay for the amount you get. The food at Noodle House is "okay". Not bad but not real good either. Flavors are a bit bland and even the food labeled as spicy is not very. Food sometimes sits a bit too long under the heat lamps in the cafeteria trays. Consider ordering from the menu, which is limited, if you want the freshest meal. (Note: chicken is the only animal meat served.) Staff are friendly. This is a no frills restaurant with self-service. I would rate the restaurnt 2.5 stars if I could. Okay for small town Iowa with few ethnic dining options but would not fare as well in larger cities where there is competition from other Thai restaurants.

    I happen to like this place for what it is. A small town "Thai" restaurant. I stick with the yellow curry (forgot the #) that is slightly sweet with veggies and noodles. I get 3 or 4 pieces of the veggie sushi and dip them in. mmm good. Ligaya is right about the spice factor. I just add the Hot red garlic sauce liberally.

    zero ambiance, and although the family who runs this is thai living in ottumwa, iowa must have gotten to their food, because this whole establishment is devoid of spicy. they have quite a few vegetarian options tho. i would stick to those because their chicken (the only meat they serve), white and dry looks as though it has been chopped up an boiled. the owners are so sweet and they make a decent avocado roll. i guess i am not making this sound that great... you'll probably never go here either because who goes to fairfield, iowa. so who cares what i say.

    let us not forget that the only oil used is organic olive oil. not to mention their black soy noodles are pretty tasty.

    Was riding through southeast Iowa and decided to stop in Fairfield because I figured they'd have some unusual-for-a-small-town dining options. Decided to eat at Noodle House, which was fortuitous as I found $2 on the ground outside (2 $1 bills not 1 $2 bill, Fairfield isn't THAT weird). I don't really know a damn thing about Thai food, but I really enjoyed the chicken pad thai I ordered. They made it for me "spicy" and it really wasn't that spicy but that's fine by me. For about $8 I got a huge pile of noodles with tons of chicken. The sauce was really peanutty, I loved it (you could maybe even call it transcendental). Overall though, it wasn't so amazing that I would drive back to Fairfield just to eat here but if I find myself here again I will definitely stop at Noodle House.

    Oh man! Another buffet! Why so many buffets in Fairfield? Tried ordering from the menu, but owner insisted we eat from the buffet. Geez! Good food.

    Order off the menu and you will be alright. The curry can range from good to DAMN good, but the noodles are a consistent two. Yes, do specify for organic chicken! And please help convince the owner to print more take out menus!

    This is a local staple. I love the food, but don't care for the dining atmosphere. It is sort of a fish bowl-- if you are a local you will always see people you know. Remember to wear your 'curry jacket' -- clothes will smell like food. They have yummy thai tea.

    Note that the prices on the menu are credit card prices. If you pay cash, the owner gives you a discount. Had a really fine avocado roll, and a very nice bowl of black soy noodles heaped with peanuts, broccoli, and tofu. It hit the spot.

    Went in for a fast meal, we got about 3 fast meals. Everyone had extra to take home, and it was all very good! Personally, I had the chicken stir fry, lots of chicken, squash, carrot, onion, a very flavorful sauce. Very enjoyable!

    Its the best thai dinner in town. Family owned and run. I recommend ordering instead of the buffet, You'll get your food in 15 minutes and it will be hot and yummy. My complaint however is that it's not really spicy, and they dont have a Tom Ka soup.
