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!“

“We had the **Crab Roe Noodles** and the **Crab Soup Dumplings**, and both were absolutely worth ordering.

The **Crab Roe Noodles** were rich, buttery, and packed with umami. The crab roe coated every strand of noodle beautifully, creating a silky texture without feeling overly heavy. You could really taste the quality of the ingredients.

The **Crab Soup Dumplings** were equally impressive. The wrapper was delicate, and each dumpling was filled with a flavorful, savory broth and a generous amount of crab. Every bite was comforting and satisfying.

The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, the service was friendly, and the food felt thoughtfully prepared. If you're a fan of crab or Shanghainese cuisine, Auntie Qiu Kitchen is definitely a place I'd recommend. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!“

“Lu Yi Xian is located in what looks like a office building. At first there looks like there's very limited parking (the entrance is on the north side on Valley Blvd), but there's actually more parking underground.

The main dining room is a bit small, but they have a secondary adjacent dining room. Not sure how large as I didn't go in there. The vibe is very mom and pop, clean, with some fun simple decorative touches.

The food however is the main standout of this place, especially the Beef Noodle. It's deliciously savory, slightly sweet and not the usual salt bomb that most noodle soups tend to be. The noodles are springy and have great bite, like al dente pasta. The vegetables are fresh, not overcooked. And the beef...oh the beef! It's wonderfully seasoned and braised until its silky and tender. Plus you get a very healthy portion of it. This is the main reason you should come here.

I also recommend the Tofu Skin with Cilantro. It's fragrant, simple, fresh and satisfying. If you order the potstickers, be warned that you get four but they are much much larger than most places. I ended up taking them to go.

All and all this place is well worth the price. It's not a super fancy place, but the food is fantastic.“

“The place has authentic Indonesian taste on their food. Expect self-service and to-go, but the place has a good seatings lay-out if you want to eat there, and you’ll be satisfied with the food. All food we ordered came out great, fresh, tasty. Try their fried duck, corned beef fried rice, prawn stinky bean, tempeh mendoan, and fried chicken.“

“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“

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

“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!“

“I recently visited Kyoto Gyukatsu and overall had a good experience. The steak itself was delicious—tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. Dipping and grilling it to your preferred doneness makes it a fun and interactive meal.

That said, if you’ve had gyukatsu in Japan, the price here might feel pretty steep in comparison. You’re definitely paying a premium for the experience locally.

Still, the quality of the meat and overall taste were solid, so it’s worth trying at least once—just be prepared for the higher price point.“

“Came to You to pick up some Northern Chinese breads and wow, we devoured. The beef roll, green onion pancake, and sesame Chinese pancake (which was made fresh to order hence the 25 minute wait) were all so flavorful — I felt like I was back in my Nai Nai’s kitchen! The textures were perfect, especially the green onion pancake with its mochi-like pull. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu!“

“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!“

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

“Its good everytime! Not a lot of tables so u might have to wait a little bit on busy nights. The mango sticky rice is a must try. Also love their pad thai!! Portion is quite small though.

There r also parking in the back.“

“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.“

“Saw Kopan sushi & ramen in burbank and realized there was one in Alhambra so i came to try it and was not disappointed! The dining area is very neat and servers are very attentive. Chefs are really quick with sushi and food orders overall 5 well earned stars definitely recommend!“

“Nice Chinese BBQ spot to come with friends. We ordered grilled fish, skewers, scallops, noodles, and a few other dishes. The portions were pretty big, and the grilled fish had a lot of flavor. The skewers were also well seasoned. Overall, it was a good place for a casual dinner or late-night BBQ. I would come back again with friends.“

“1st time at this restaurant and have to say the food was delicious and well made. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful with explaining what comes in their food. There veggie dumplings were amazing aswell as everything else i ordered. Will definitely be going back“

“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.“

“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). ���“

“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.“

“The clay pots are the best I've eaten in San Gabriel valley; like Hong Kong style. Hot crispy rice to soak with hot water (飯蕉). Prices are reason and restaurant is very clean and stylish. I eat here often, very good value.“

“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!“
