Homemade pasta and amazing service. This place is worth the wait if they don’t have a table ready. The pasta is delicious, the protein is very well cooked, and the salads have a very fresh taste. My wife said this was the best pasta she had had in years. The service is top notch, very attentive quick and knowledgeable.

The vibe is super relaxing and calm. The service is very fast and professional. Our waiter made great recommendations. The pesto pasta is my favorite dish now. I love that they have gluten-free options. We would definitely recommend.

Wonderful place to eat! We liked everything we ate! The service was fabulous. Not a big place, but worth the wait. Highly recommend. Really liked the garlic dots, the Charlotte, and caesar salad.

Soooo good!! I love visiting The Flying Noodle! It can get busy so make sure you get there early. The pastas are so tasty, I love all the vegetarian ones- of which there are many. The garlic dots and the cheesy garlic bread are also delicious, just get one of everything after a day by the lake!

Went for our anniversary as a recommendation and loved our experience! Such a lovely environment and the food was so fresh! We enjoyed the pasta dishes (especially the pesto with shrimp) and pizza. Even the cocktails and dessert were delightful. Thank you for a wonderful time and we look forward to returning soon!

Really great staff, amazing food! Just be aware that I believe it is walk-ins only, and that they no longer take reservations.

The flavors of the pasta were average, the serving plates are very small, you have to be careful when you put your fork in , food can jump out. The service was great. I don’t think we will go back .

We had a great experience! They courteously held our table reservation as we called to say we were stopped for road construction! Thank you!

Great experience and vibe. Service was nice and helpful. The garlic dots were a popular order as I saw many people ordering. The garlic dots were buttery, garlicky, etc. i expected there to be loads of butter. I ordered the mushroom pasta which I wasn’t expecting to be so rich with butter. It was at first hard to eat until I let the pasta drained the extra butter sauce. My mom ordered the pesto pasta as is and it was good pesto, but it looks and feels like it’s lacking something, and I don’t think you should have to add anything to menu item to make it so for extra charge. It should stand on its own and shine.
