noodle house

Asian soup eatery

A noodle house is a casual restaurant specializing in noodle dishes, typically Asian cuisine—ramen, pho, udon, or similar fare.

The term suggests an informal, often inexpensive establishment focused on a specific category of food rather than a broad menu: There's a great little noodle house on the corner.
