There is noodles or There are noodles ...

[chutanphat]

Please help me to identify the use of THERE + BE ... for the noun NOODLES.
Thank you all.

There are noodles. (But you hear the other alternative quite often, it's a common error in rapid speech).

Thanks for your kind help.
And in this case, is NOODLES a countable noun?

Yes, the final S marks the plural of noodle.
