What is on the Noodle Canteen Whanganui menu?

Classic noodle dishes

The core menu centers on stir-fried noodle favorites. According to the Noodle Canteen official menu, regular offerings include:

• Satay Chicken – egg noodles with chicken and fresh vegetables in satay sauce (listed on Foodrunners)
• Hokkien Mee – thick yellow noodles stir-fried with meat and vegetables
• Fried Kuai Teow – flat rice noodles wok-fried with soy and chili
• Combination Noodles – mixed proteins with egg noodles
• Garlic Prawns – prawns stir-fried with garlic, vegetables, and noodles
• Honey Chicken Noodles – sweet honey-glazed chicken on noodles

Protein add-ons and customisation

The menu allows diners to add extra meat or seafood to any dish. While not itemized separately on the official site, delivery platforms list extra chicken, beef, or prawn as available add-ons (see Delivereasy options).

Side dishes and drinks

Beyond noodles, expect classic sides. Noodle Canteen’s menu includes spring rolls and fried wontons, plus soft drinks. No specific prices for sides were listed on the official site; delivery platforms show spring rolls at around $6–$8 (Foodrunners).

Bottom line: Noodle Canteen Whanganui serves a tight, noodle-focused lineup built on wok-fried classics. For first-timers: stick with Satay Chicken or Hokkien Mee.

The pattern: the menu sticks to tried-and-tested noodle formulas that appeal to both regulars and first-timers.

What are the prices at Noodle Canteen Whanganui?

Individual dish prices

Six prices for the main dishes, as observed on Foodrunners and Delivereasy:

The pattern: Foodrunners tends to be $2–$3 cheaper on most items. If you’re ordering delivery, compare both.

Value combos

No official combos appear on the website or delivery menus. However, a TripAdvisor customer noted that the “Singapore Fried Noodles and Mongolian Beef” together cost around $40, suggesting that building a two-dish combo is common practice.

Delivery vs dine-in pricing

The official site (noodlecanteen.co.nz) does not display dine-in prices. All current price data comes from delivery aggregators. It’s likely that dine-in prices match the lower Foodrunners row, though this hasn’t been confirmed.

The takeaway: delivery prices vary, so checking both platforms before ordering is a smart habit.

Alternatives to PDF

If you need an offline version, take a screenshot of the menu page or save it via your browser’s print-to-PDF function. Alternatively, phone the restaurant at 130 Victoria Ave (contact details) and ask if they can email a copy.
