Review by Frieda Kling

I had a delightful experience at The Noble Chef! 🥢 The roasted duck was the star, crispy and full of flavor, paired perfectly with their sweet and sour sauce. The daily soup was comforting and took me back home.

We also tried the Peking duck and beef chow fun - both were tasty but be wary of the fried rice; it lacked seasoning.

The fast service and casual vibe made it a great spot for a group dinner. Just be sure to make a reservation! Will definitely return for those free desserts... 🍰
