PTBOSpotlight: Noodles Squad

/

Welcome to PTBOSpotlight! Every Friday, this segment showcases a business or organization in Peterborough and the Kawarthas. You will have the opportunity to learn more about the people behind the organization and the work they do for our community.

This week, we are featuring Noodles Squad. It is owned by Jenjob “Jay” Bakker.

Located at 415 George St. N. in Downtown Peterborough, Noodles Squad brings the heart of Thai street food to Peterborough, offering authentic flavours inspired by traditional recipes.

Formerly known as Real Thai Cuisine, Noodles Squad is a second-generation restaurant.

“For years, many of you knew us as Real Thai Cuisine, where our parents poured their hearts into sharing the classic curries and dishes they loved,” explained Bakker. “After dedicating so many years to the kitchen, it was time for them to rest, and for us, their kids, to carry the torch.”

Noodles Squad is Bakker’s tribute to his parents as he takes over the rebanded business but in his own unique way.

“We wanted to honour their legacy while also putting our own spin on the family business,” he said. This is how Noodles Squad was born—a modern tribute to the lively, faspaced world of Thai street food. We refocused our menu on the exciting, quick-fire dishes you find on the bustling streets of Bangkok and Chiang Mai. We now specialize in things we know every Thai food lover craves: crispy pork, intensely spicy curries, and incredible noodles.”

The restaurant’s signature dishes feature “The Savory” crispy pork, Tom Yum noodle soup and Pad Thai. They also have an array of soups, salad, spring rolls curry, noodles and more to bring the Thai-cuisine spirit to Downtown Peterborough.

“We kept the heart and soul of what you loved about our food, while adding the punchy, vibrant flavours of the streets,” said Bakkar. “Whether you’re a long-time friend of the family or a new customer, we invite you to join our squad and taste the next chapter of our story.”
