The Magic Noodle: Experience Authentic Thai Noodles in Joplin

If you’re looking for Thai food in Joplin, Magic Noodle is a solid choice! I had the pineapple fried rice with chicken. The portion size was large and I was very pleased with the amount of chicken and cashews; slightly disappointed with the amount of pineapple, but still very good nonetheless. I was surprised to receive a little side salad before the entree; the dressing was excellent. The price was fair. The atmosphere in the restaurant is good and decorated for the season. I visited on a Wednesday night and they seemed short staffed, but the wait for food wasn’t long. The place was very busy, so that tells me others really like it too.

Warm and cozy atmosphere, excellent customer service. Lunch portion comes with a cup of warm vegetable soup, which is a plus. The tofu spring roll is surprisingly fresh and delicious. Happy to have tofu soy duck option for the meal. Pad Kee mow comes with fried tofu option - what a blessing. Definitely a good stop for vegetarians and vegans. But be wise when specifying the food’s spicy level, it may be a little spicier than you thought.

From the fresh, house poppy dressing on the salad to the crisp, succulent appetizer, to the medley of flavors in their Pad Thai, this place doesn't make food, it makes edible art. Each dish was perfection in presentation, flavor, and texture, served with a flourish at lightning speed by our attentive, deft, and amiable waiter. On the atmospheric side, it's not frilly, which means the prices won't break your bank, and allowed for full focus on the food. Superb. Highly recommend!

The loveliest people. The sukiyaki soup is my absolute favorite and they serve some of the best spring rolls I've ever eaten.

Great mango fried rice. The spaghetti is surprisingly good. Service is always good. Food is solid, anything I've tried. I'll happily come back often.

Absolutely amazing experience. Told our waitress we were gluten and dairy free. Both ladies working were super detailed and made sure we were well taken care of. One even caught that a sauce was made with butter after we ordered and let my husband know so he could pick out something different. We felt very well taken care of and not a burden at all. We both had the pad thai and it was incredible!

We've lived in Joplin for going on 5 years now. Every time we are on this side of town, my husband and I tell each other next time we need to try The Magic Noodle. We finally did, and I was very impressed. The service was just as great as the delicious food. It is now on my husband's top 3 (cheaper) go-to places in Joplin. The salad comes with each meal - try the unique salad dressing. We were told it's homemade. Two of us ate for just under $30 (that was with me adding shrimp to my order). It was overall a great experience.

This was our first time there the staff helped us make some really good pics and the food was fantastic
