What to Expect
NoodleBox Harare at Paddington Square gets called some of the best Asian food in the city. Tanaka (December 2025) named it “The best Asian food in Harare” and loved the Nasi Goreng, and Julie (2024) called the Phad Thai “a litmus test for any self-proclaimed noodle aficionado” that impressed from the first bite.
Specific dishes recur across reviews: salmon dumplings and the fusion box get singled out by Rumbidzai (2025), and Anand (2024) enjoyed the Japanese salad, edamame and udon noodles, though Anand found the sushi rice “quite overcooked” on that visit and wished for vegetarian dumplings and bao buns.
The outdoor seating stays cool even in summer, and reviewers repeatedly mention warm, attentive staff who check in throughout the meal.

🎍The aesthetic ambiance is remarkable, with meticulous attention to detail evident in the charming bamboo steaming baskets suspended from the ceilings and the decorative noodle bowls adorning the walls, perfectly reflecting the cuisine they specialize in.

Happy staff which I love, just got back from Japan 2 weeks ago so my cravings kicked in & so popped over to noodle/sushi bar. Japanese salad & edamame starters were excellent. Udon noodles & tofu rice excellent (I just needed a bit of salt & chili but that’s just me).
★★★★★

Food was really good. Ate most of the starters before we remembered to take pictures. Remembered before the main course tho. It's good for dates and for families. The atmosphere is calm and pleasant.
