this definitely deserves the michelin recommendation. every piece of meat was so tender and every dish was just so flavorful. i really liked the braised beef noodles. it had a cilantro taste and the bok choy was so soft. my family really liked the texture of all of the noodles - especially the fried ones. the scallion pancakes were very good and the food came very quickly. the staff are very nice and the water hits hard 😁. definitely come here
Noodles are definitely fresh, flavors were on point, and service was quick!
Hands down, one of the best Chinese restaurants in the SGV. My favorite dishes are the cat ear shaped noodle soup and pork meatballs, as well as the wife’s special noodles, but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! Highly recommend for anybody in the surrounding area to try

Lao Xi Noodle House is a Michelin Guide restaurant located in a low-key plaza in the 626 area. The interior is minimal and laid-back, but the food is top-notch. They offer a variety of delicious and affordable noodle dishes that stand out for their freshness and flavor. The staff is friendly and speaks good English, making it easy to enjoy the experience.
A popular choice is the Wife Special Noodle, which comes with three sauces on top: bean sauce, ground pork, and tomato with egg. The handmade noodles have a chewy texture and absorb all the flavors well, reminding many of fresh pasta from Italian restaurants.
The House Noodle is highly recommended; it is simple but very satisfying. Customers often enjoy the wet or dry versions for around $20, with the noodles being the star of the meal. The soup served with the noodles is flavorful and hot, perfect for a quick, tasty meal.
Other dishes like the fried intestines with hot chili, cold sesame noodles, and Hun Yuan cold jelly are also popular, offering a lighter or more textured experience. The flavors tend to be lighter and more balanced compared to other Chinese restaurants, with less greasiness and salt.
Overall, expect friendly service and tasty food. The restaurant has a plain decor with just simple tables and no armrest chairs, and the environment is clean. The prices are reasonable, with the cold platter around $12 and the Wife Special at $15, providing good value for quality food. Note that they do not accept Apple Pay. For anyone in the area looking for a humble spot with consistently good food and friendly service, Lao Xi Noodle House is a great choice.
