Noodles in Alhambra, CA

“Needed something warm and soupy for the rainy day. Find this spot on a whim and I gotta say I'm so dang lucky I decided to eat here. I ordered the rattan noodles and they were deliciously spicy. I usually eat medium to low spice but this was perfect. I'm a new fan!“

“I came here for a quick meal and was seriously impressed. The food tastes authentic, portions are generous, and everything was cooked with care.

I ordered the beef noodle soup and the braised pork elbow rice plate, and both dishes were excellent.

🍜 Beef Noodle Soup:
The broth was rich and flavorful with that classic Taiwanese depth. The noodles were perfectly chewy, and the beef chunks were tender and juicy. Definitely one of the better beef noodle soups I’ve had in the area.

🍖 Braised Pork Elbow Rice Plate:
The pork elbow was incredibly tender and full of flavor—melt-in-your-mouth and perfectly braised. The plate came with cabbage, pickled veggies, a marinated egg, and a big serving of rice. Everything paired together really well, and the seasoning was on point.

The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, and the food came out fast. If you’re craving Taiwanese comfort food, this spot is a must-try. I’ll definitely be back!“

“This is one of the restaurants that gets unnoticed for not having enough review or marketing. I saw some pictures, looked tasty so I wanted to try out. Food is so good that I forgot to take all the pics. This place is ran by a strong single woman of color who cooks, cleans, and manages everything all by herself. Food is fresh, healthy, tasty, and unique. They owner is really nice. I 100% recommend this place. I will definitely come back. I hope all the best to the owner and her business.“

“Nem Nướng Khánh Hoà is widely praised for its authentic Vietnamese cuisine and warm atmosphere. The restaurant’s specialty is nem nuong cuon, a dish of grilled pork meatballs wrapped in rice paper and served with fresh herbs and vegetables. The dish stands out for its flavorful, fresh grilled pork and the crunchy texture of the accompanying ingredients“

“The best items we got here were definitely the dumplings, which are like soup dumplings, and the crispy pork buns which also had plenty of broth inside. I thought those were super unique, never had something like that before and I really enjoyed the crispiness of the bun. We also got the popcorn chicken which was fine, but a little bit oily and heavy to me, while the pork soup was very light and tasted very clean. Would definitely come here again, truly enjoyed the meal and it was uniquely Taiwanese.“

“Very well run and maitained. The Ramen choices are delicious with lots of options. Try the spicy chicken sandwich too!!“

“This is one of my favorite meals in Japan! I love the quality of the meat and flavor pairings that are offered. We had to wait 30 minutes, but it was worth it. Once we were seated, we were able to place our orders and quick received our meal. Service is responsive and friendly. I would recommend any of their locations, but if you can visit Kyoto's locations, they are a lot less intense in waiting than in Tokyo!“

“Our favorite place to eat when we fly into Los Angeles! A huge menu and everything we tried was tasty. And the portions are huge with very reasonable prices. The menu is big & diverse, containing Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other Asian dishes, as well as fish & chips, steaks, chops, and grilled chicken. YUM!“

“The food was perfect and the service was excellent! We don’t live close by. We were just visiting the San Gabriel Mission. However, whenever we go back to the area, we will definitely come back!“

“I’ve come here many times—it’s one of my favorite restaurants. The beef noodle soup is my go-to, but honestly, it’s hard to pick a favorite because everything is delicious.

Highly recommend the dumplings—they’re handmade, and you can even buy them frozen at a great price. The server reminds me of my aunties, and the food tastes like grandma made it. It’s like a cozy Sunday at mom’s, and she just brought out the menudo.

I also love that the music stays true to the culture. They play Mandarin songs, not some watered-down English playlist. It makes the whole experience feel authentic—like I’ve been invited into someone’s home. I’m always happy here. 🥰“

“好吃！！！！好吃！！！！还是好吃！！！！大爱这家店，服务也超赞的！！下次一定还会去的哦！嘻嘻！！！！“

“Truly stellar food! Been here multiple times and it’s always blown me away - not just your typical Thai place. The flavors are bold, the chicken satay, Penang curry, and sticky rice are highlights. This is probably gonna end up on the best restaurants in LA list soon and I’m just happy to know about them before they blew up.“

“Food is good. Service is nonexistent, and the wait staff can be a little rude.

We ordered an abalone porridge and then afterward they came back saying they ran out of porridge, which is surprising for a spot named The Porridge. But then they came back and gave us a bowl of runny plain porridge. And then a few minutes later they worked some magic and brought over the abalone porridge we originally wanted. It was good.“

“Lunch, Dinner, Midnight Snack, The Menu Gives A Few Hundred Choices Of The Finest Dining.“

“If you like eating Taiwanese food, you want to come here. Great tasting food and very reasonable priced. One of the most authentic Taiwanese restaurants in SGV (in my opinion). ���“

“Excellent place for dumplings and noodles. Three of us went there for dinner and had the pork and shrimp fried dumplings, the beef roll, the pork and pickled vegetables noodle soup, and the stir fried vegetables. They were all delicious and very reasonably priced. We highly recommend this place for tasty food.“

“Their house special noodle bowl is comfort food and it is gigantic.
I'm from the SF Bay Area and I can't get enough of their noodles.
They have the best kidneys if you're into that.
They make their own chili sauce in house.
The service is great and they come often to fill your tea cups and remove emptied plates.
This small restaurant is highly recommended.“

“Came here to try the Oxtail Pho, the broth is so so nice and portions are huuuge. Server was awesome and also informed that once ordering the pho, extra noodles is free and extra 1/2 bowl of broth $2.50. Presentation is top and this is now on my list for regular dining. Appreciate that they also have a Vegan menu with soy chicken or soy beef. I ordered the vegan crispy eggrolls as well which had veggies and vegan soy chicken. De-LICIOUS PERFECTION. These were crispy and freshly made not soggy sitting there a while like other places. This place is a must try.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely fantastic!

Kp Town has quickly become one of my favorite spots for true Cantonese home-style comfort food. The husband-and-wife team who run it are warm, welcoming, and clearly put so much heart into every dish. You can taste the care and tradition in everything they make.

Their made-to-order porridge is a standout — silky, flavorful, and exactly the kind of simple, perfect comfort food you hope to find but rarely do. Every bowl feels like it was cooked just for you.

If you want authentic Cantonese flavors, generous portions, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like family, Kp Town is a must-try. Highly, highly recommend!“

“I overall love this place for sit down service. The atmosphere is cool and the staff are very friendly. The food is good and Its always very busy.

The staff are nice but im giving service 3 stars because they have a very flawed system for their takeout orders.
I would recommend only eating there dine-in. Never get takeout from there. Im told Their sushi bar has an odd policy where they cannot make any take out orders until after the dine-in orders are filled. The problem is this place is always busy and theres always new dine in customers going in. So the takeout sushi orders never get filled. Ive done takeout here one time and waited 40 minutes only to be told my single sushi roll would take another 40 minutes. Some people in front of me were waiting two hours. And the ramen portions of your takeout order will be filled quicker so it will just sit there for 1.5 hours and get cold. I Just refunded my order like others did and took my cold ramen home at the end. I dont understand this policy as it kind of makes takeout impossible. So i highly recommend only dine-in at this restaurant. If you order takeout on a busy weekend it is likely you will never get the food.“

“Tried this place during a lunch business trip. I ordered the beef with rice noodle bowl, it was very good and super filling. Not too salty at all. We also ordered a beef rice roll, you roll them yourself. The lettuce had some old parts but there was plenty so it's fine. Overall the portions are very reasonable and the beef was good, not much fat. I'd definitely come here again if in the area.“

“Food and service was very good! A good variety of dishes on the menu. The prices weren't bad, and you get a lot of food! I would definitely go here again!“

“This Northeastern Chinese BBQ spot was seriously a great find. The ingredients are fresh and everything off the grill is packed with flavor. The lamb skewers are the highlight—perfectly charred on the outside, juicy and tender inside, super authentic. The seasoning hits just right, savory with a nice kick. The vibe is lively, kind of like a street night market back in Northeast China. Service is quick and friendly. Great value overall and perfect for hanging out with friends—definitely coming back.“
