Riccarton Noodle House has become an established fixture on Riccarton Road and a gathering place for Christchurch's Cambodian community. The dining room is casual and family friendly, with daily service backed by takeaway, pickup and delivery. Its chicken noodle soup captures the kitchen's patient side: a homemade broth is cooked slowly for depth, then paired with noodles and tender chicken to make a meal that is simple in structure but far from hurried.
The soup section offers unusually broad choice. Roast duck is sliced over rice noodles and bean sprouts, beef noodle soup adds fresh beef and beef balls, and handmade pork wontons or house barbecue pork each headline their own bowl. Satay soup brings a rich peanut character, while the spicy sweet-and-sour soup follows a tom yum direction. Seafood, vegetable and beef brisket versions ensure the list is not limited to the most familiar chicken bowl.
Stir-fried noodles show a different texture and pace. Diners can choose seafood or mixed meats with vegetables and mushrooms, fried egg noodles with several proteins, peppery udon or thin Singapore noodles seasoned with curry. Pad Thai and spicy fried rice noodles broaden the range again. Away from noodles, green and red curries use coconut cream, and curry laksa combines broth, egg, tofu, bean sprouts and noodles in a particularly substantial bowl.
Satay also appears over rice, with grilled chicken, beef, mixed meat or vegetables, while Cambodian omelette, clay-pot yee-mee and sweet-and-sour dishes round out the larger plates. Fried wontons, vegetable spring rolls, squid and chicken nibbles make practical shared starters. Deep-fried banana wrapped in pastry and served with ice cream provides a playful finish. The result is a menu that rewards both a reliable favourite and a table willing to explore several Cambodian and wider Asian influences.
