Intoduce for the Noodle Station franchise

Kota Bharu, Kelantan, KBMALL Noodle Station

Noodle Station had a dream of creating a dining destination that unites fresh food with fast service for an affordable price.

Noodle Station Logo

The Noodle Station was to come out with a restaurant business concept that fill the void between the typical fast-food outlet that so many people frequent due to lack of choices and time constraint with a full service dining experience which is both costly and time consuming.

As a result, the first Noodle Station outlet opened its first day of business in April 2005 in Kota Bharu, Kelantan with a team of twelve crews. That week their worker served a massive crowd of patrons who simply fell in love at first sight with Noodle Station’s delicious food and excellent services; they were thrilled!

Their success was quickly recognized and when the management of Kota Bharu’s biggest shopping complex KB Mall gave them an offer that was hard to refuse.

In July 2006, Noodle station opened its second outlet on the second floor of KB Mall and has been capturing almost every layers of patronage from youngsters to families.

Their strength lies within their product consistency, uncompromising quality, chic ambiance, speed and efficient computerized operational system have become factors that distance from the pack of other existing food and beverages outlets.
