Tiger Noodle Bar

Tiger Noodle Bar occupies a kiosk unit in Market Walk in Newton Abbot, a small, fast operation rather than a sit-down restaurant, turning out South-East Asian food across Thai, Chinese and Japanese styles from one kitchen. It's the kind of independent noodle counter that a town like Newton Abbot depends on for a fast, proper meal between errands, rather than a chain outlet.

The menu runs from pad Thai and Singapore noodles to chicken chow mein, chicken curry rice and pork spring rolls, with Japanese touches too - soba noodles with pork and cabbage, and sweet char siu pork buns - plus vegetable noodle options for anyone after something lighter. Prawns feature across several dishes too, alongside the more familiar chicken and pork. Everything's cooked fresh daily rather than held in a bain-marie, and it's open six days a week at prices built for a quick, cheap lunch rather than a night out.
