Noodles in Alhambra, CA

“BEST Taiwanese beef noodle soup hands down! I've never been wow'd by Taiwanese beef noodle soup and this place was a first! They're a small shop but has some big tables for large groups. Food:- House special braised beef noodle (5/5): the soup is PACKED with flavor. Tendon is so soft. Noodle is perfectly cooked. - Braised pork rice (4/5): tender pork. Not too flavorful. Decent dish overall- Pig ears with red oil (4/5): on the less crunchy side but good flavor- Red oil wontons (2/5): both the wontons and chili oil lacked flavor“

“A very small Thai restaurant but great food. There isn't a very big parking lot in the back but you can find parking nearby on the streets. There also isn't many tables inside so that is why the wait times get so long. Luckily, we came at a good time and didn't have to wait. The employees are friendly and have good service too.We ordered the pad thai, pad see ew, chicken satay, khao soi. The satay was okay but I really liked the pad thai and pad see ew. However, the portions are a bit on the smaller side for the price. One dish is barely enough for one person. But I guess the size is good for trying different dishes with friends.“

“So I have ordered Takeout & Dined In before countless times due to the food and customer service being absolutely AMAZING & DELICIOUS! Each time I order, I'm never disappointed by the quality of the food. Also, packaging for takeout is perfect it never spills! I love this Ramen spot a lot and noticed I never wrote a review so it was time to do so. <3“

“Nice local Vietnamese restaurant that I've come to a few times. Staff is a friendly and the food was quite delicious! I had some beef spring rolls and a vermicelli dish with meatballs. Both were very good and I had to bring one of the spring rolls home as it was a lot of food. Would recommend trying it out if you're craving some Vietnamese cuisine.“

“I tried many Indonesian restaurants in the area before and hands down this Wayang restaurant offers the best and most authentic Indonesian foods. I just love the wonderful combination of flavors and fragrances from the tropical spices used in the cooking. Additionally, the owner Lily is very friendly and attentive to all guests. She makes sure everybody is satisfied. It's always been a great pleasure dining at this place. Highly highly recommended! You should definitely give it a try.Vegetarian options: Gado gado ( steamed veggie salad with peanut sauce, tofu and rice cake) is one of the best vegetarian dishes anybody should try ( whether they're vegetarian or not). So yummy!“

“Amazing food, friendly service! The waitress explained how everything was and was super friendly. The soup came very quickly and it was absolutely delicious.There are several soup base flavors, I picked the sour/spicy one which reminds me of pickled veggie with fish soup, which I absolutely love.They also have small dishes, the potato strips are the best I've had in the US so far, they were thin and soft and reminded me of China.Prices were reasonable too!“

“2/18/24: 4.5/5Probably the best handmade dumplings and noodles I’ve had so far in LA and as good as most of the good local shops I’ve been to in China and Asia. Dumplings are hand made and kept in cold storage until cooked to order. Noodles are batched for dough and then rolled and hand cut fresh to order. The dumpling skins and wide noodles have the perfect Q bouncy chew texture. The dumplings can be either boiled, pan fried, or steamed. The shop doesn’t use MSG, which isn’t really a problem, but does mean their food is well balanced and just salty and savory enough. Their beef noodle soup is red braised and may appear lighter in color, but still packs a beefy flavor w/ perfectly cooked tender beef. Their in house sauces like spicy chili oil for wontons and hoisin sauce for beef roll are some of the best I’ve had and also well balanced. Definitely get the sesame pockets that have a nice thin crunchy shell. The pan fried buns are fluffy pillowy w/ a nice thin crispy bottom. The green onion pancake is good although just needed some salt. Think Noodle St still has the best beef roll pancake but You’s is pretty great still. And if you want a drink, try the fresh taro milk smoothie. The owner was super nice to talk to and service was great. You can order from the menu or they have a digital POS machine w/ Chinese+English and pictures.“

“small mom n' pop shop on the corner. food was great & made to order! ordered three types of jian bing, 3-delicacy dumplings, 3-delicacy noodles & soy milk. the dumplings & noodles were delicious too. dumplings are plump w/ thin skin & noodles had plenty of toppings. dumplings can either be boiled or pan fried. soy milk comes in a large bowl & unsweetened. there's a sugar dispenser that lets you customize the sweetness level in your own bowl. the jian bings ordered: 3 sausage, beef tendon, & normal beef. the beef ones were filled well! each order of jian bing is cut into 4 & are easy to split btwn 2-4 people. they also come with a wrapper to hold the pancakes to avoid greasy fingers. overall, the experience was good!“

“Authentic Chinese food! Will definitely come back again! My favorite food is hot and sour noodles and big steamed buns. This is the first time I have eaten such delicious hot and sour noodles in the United States. The skin of the steamed buns is very soft and the soup inside is delicious.“

“3.8 stars As far as pho restaurants go, this place might be like a 3/5 stars, but I love that there are 2 tables outside because that means I can bring my dog!! And yes, I brought my dog. If you like pho, I am happy to report that this restaurant serves a decent one. The noodles are soft, onions are shaved paper thin (the way I like it!), and broth isn't overbearingly spiced. Also, you don't go home super thirsty like some places. The only downside was the toughness of the meat. Otherwise, perfectly edible. The second dish I ordered was the Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio, vermicelli noodles w/ grilled pork & eggrolls. The eggrolls were great! The pork was just... ok. The vermicelli noodles, unfortunately, were not as smooth texturally as I prefer it...but still pretty decent. There's free parking on site and street parking. The food comes out pretty quickly. Service is decent.“

“We got here just around 6pm on a Sunday and got seated right away. If you are looking for noodles or porridge entrees, this is the place to be! I got the "build your own" noodle soup with beef stew and wontons. You can either get the traditional thin noodles or the flat noodles (I got the flat noodles) and the portion is big as usual! The beef stew is super tender and flavorful (yet not overly salty) and I crave their wontons every time we are here! The wontons are huge and packed with shrimp and meat that with every bite comes with a perfect balance of chewiness and flavors. There is parking in the plaza and you can enter through the back door from the parking lot. Awesome comfort food that'll for sure satisfy your Cantonese noodle soup / porridge cravings!“

“Korean, not Japanese. That being said, had "spicy" miso ramen and "Jumbo" scallop sushi. Not so spicy, but otherwise spot on! The scallops weren't jumbo size, but if the rice would have had a little more vinegar...it might have been as good tasting as I ever had ( the yuzu kosho was a big factor) ; bar none. I have eaten my fair share, mostly in Japan.Parking: Smart and final across the corner?“

“Coming here as a small child with my parents on their "mah jong" break since the 80s, this place has not changed a bit and I've come to truly appreciate authentic homemade "Taiwanese" food here in LA (an art form that has been lost through globalization and corporate franchising). The (orginal) owner has not changed his recipe, nor the quality of the food. Perhaps the only thing that has changed is the pricing via inflation, but the food is still considered reasonably cheap for what you get. The stinky tofu and pork chop rice is as close as "Taiwan" gets in LA. Miss those old "bento" days? Their lunch and dinner (order by A, B, or C, etc) sets will truly make you reminiscence the good ol days in Taiwan. Don't expect a fancy decor nor 5-star service, and bring cash--this place is simple. Lee's still looks like the way it did since the 80s; with the florescent lighting and wobbly tables--but if you know how to appreciate good Taiwanese food, this should not matter to you. So before you decide to waste your time and frustration going to the next "626 Night Market" in hopes of eating some authentic stinky tofu, come by Lee's first and save yourself the headaches.“

“Sam's is a staple in my rotation of restaurants because it always hits the spot. It's one of those restaurants I go to with my family but also by myself.As with any Chinese restaurant, you don't come here expecting great service but the food is always consistent and they're fast. My go-to is either Shrimp & Pork with thick egg noodles or filet mignon cubes with egg noodles or macaroni. Don't sleep on the filet mignon cubes at Sam's! Mix the egg noodles with the filet mignon cubes and the satay they have at the table and it's soooo good! Cash only. I would avoid ordering online, there is an up-charge. Call in to order or just order at the restaurant for to-go. They're very fast“

“I ordered a Taiwanese banquet meal with Orange Bistro a few days ago. The food is fresh, authentic, and delicious. Especially the Bi-Feng Tang lobster was the best. All my colleagues loved it. I also loved their oyster noodles and stinky tofu. The dishes taste fresh without MSG or too much oil. Please call them at least one or two days before your arrival if you are going to order a banquet table. I highly recommend this authentic Taiwanese restaurant.“

“Came here for my bday and all the food we ordered was delish! Everyone loved their order. If it's your 1st time going, might be best to come in a group so you can share most items because it's so hard to pick one! Service was a bit slow and ambiance is on point! We would be back!“

“This place blew me away. I ordered the cumin lamb biang biang and the chicken wonton soup, both of which were extraordinary at decent prices. The location is not fancy but is a nice small restaurant. Will definitely be putting this restaurant in my regular rotation!“

“Yet another authentic Chinese restaurant to check out in San Gabriel valley area here in the city of Alhambra.My wife had seen this noodle joint on IG and of course we love checking out new places for Chinese eats.The rainy weather brings on the Noodle appetite and 101 Noodle Express did not disappoint.We ordered a feast even though we came for some noodles.Started off with some Dan Dan noodles, steamed / fried pork and shrimp dumplings ?.I got their eggplant and pork noodles in a light yet flavorful broth which was quite delicious for a new taste for me.We also got their Yang chow fried rice and chicken chowmein.Chicken chowmein was decent in flavor however they could bump up their fried rice game which lacked a bit.We were patient with their service because there was only 1 server who was quite polite and courteous to us. I felt empathy for her because she had 8 other tables to wait on (1 that had a party of 8) and that can be stressful while taking care of pick up orders and the phone ringing all at the same time. They could have staffed the restaurant with at least 2 more employees to allow a better form of service.The dining area was clean and organized. Their restrooms could have used a little love, like a little bleach down and air freshener.101 Noodle Express would have gotten an easy 5 star rating if it weren't for a couple of setbacks.Otherwise the noodles here were quite delicious.We will be back to check out some more of their noodle dishes with soup.“

“The food at Sunday Bistro is superb. I would definitely recommend it to any group of family or friends who are looking for good food, whether during the day or closer to midnight, they are always giving out good food. Never of low quality and always cooked the best they can. They also offer take out which is the same quality and also just as cheap. Each person averages roughly $10 and you will normally still have leftovers. The service is also great. The staff are always looking around. If you need anything, just put your hand up and they will cone to serve you. Not only that but the restaurant is good for children and is wheelchair accessible. With plenty if parking outside, you will be able to get in quickly as well. This place is good for large groups as they have many seats for customers of large and small groups. 5 stars.Parking: A lot of space to parkKid-friendliness: Contains a kid menu with some options and seats are good height for children. They also have baby seats for younger children.Wheelchair accessibility: Walkways are very wide and entrance is wheelchair accessible which makes it much easier to push the wheelchair around.“

“From time to time, my mom always brings food from here for takeout and my favorite thing has to be the chow mein: crispy noodle! I love how once you pour the soupy base into the noodles, it adds a different dimension and purpose to the noodle. Additionally, the portions here are a win-win & and can be shared amongst others. Furthermore, the pad thai here is yummy as well! For the price it is, it isn't so bad. I wish I can talk about the service, but there isn't much to talk about since I wasn't the one that ordered. Most of the time, I always hear that this place gets really busy, so just fyi!“

“I come to this restaurant multiple times. This is restaurant is alway my first choice when I craving Chinese barbecue. This is alway a good place to hangout with friend. Great service and clean Environment. The food are very delicious and if you like Chinese bbq you should definitely try it.“

“This is truly a Hong Kong style restaurant, with dishes that might seem odd to us, but perfectly normal in HK, such as Italian dishes which are almost Italian. Consequently there is a huge variety and a long menu list (257 items!). This was a great place for our family get-together. Clean, good service. Caters to a wide variety of tastes.“
