Noodles in Arcadia, CA

“Everybody is so nice here it always has been my favorite. The taste is always what I want and never got wrecked by even once I could survive every day eating the food is so nice here it always have been my favorite. And if you’re looking for a good restaurant, please come here thank you!“

“3 of us came here for lunch today. They took over the location from Din Tai Fung. It took a few minutes before someone greeted and seated us. We ordered:
- shrimp wonton w/ house spicy sauce (best, compared to DTF and Lunasia)
- shrimp & pork dumpling w/ black truffle (Lunasia is still best)
- squid in scallop dumpling w/ XO sauce (good)
- French baked BBQ pork bun (the buns too doughy, prefer the one at Tim Ho Wan)
- eggplant stuffed w/ shrimp paste (pretty good)
- deep fried pork dumpling (meh)
- deep fried durian pastry (excellent, real durian pulp, not processed, not too sweet, a bit greasy)“

“I had the opportunity to visit this Michelin-starred restaurant specializing in noodles, and I must say that the experience was overall very positive.

The house specialty, the beef noodles, were truly delicious. The meat was incredibly soft and rich, making it the highlight of the meal.

However, I felt that the broth that accompanied the noodles could have had a little more flavor. Although it was clear that a lot of care had gone into its preparation, it seemed a bit neutral to me.

Overall, I give it a rating of 8/10. Although it was not a perfect experience, the quality of the meat and the presentation of the dishes were more than enough to make up for the small deficiencies. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to any noodle and beef lover.“

“Very delicious Love their Lamb“

“Awesome place , didn't expect it to be sooooo good. waiter/cashier was really cool and gave us ideas. cold apps real good tostart with“

“Located inside H-Mart. Sister went up to the counter to place our order and was called when it was ready. She got the Jjajangmyeon-Tangsuyuk combo. I enjoyed the jjajangmyeon, it was a perfect balance of salty and slightly sweet noodle dish. I wasn't a fan of the tangsuyuk so much, it had a slightly gamey flavor. It's a shared cafeteria-like setting, bus-person was ready to clean up when customers are done at the table.“

“I was born and raised in Guangzhou, personally, I think this is the rice roller that’s closest to what I had when I grew up, taste and texture wise. I always order two plates of pork rice rollers. I can imagine if I live around the area, I would come daily for it.“

“I love this little noodle shop, it's a mom and pop shop and they serve the best soups of any noodles dishes. They have pho, hu tieu, Cantonese style beef egg noodles soups, and many more. You can't go wrong with the noodles dishes here, they're all solid and so delicious.

The servings are appropriate and you can order a large for the noodles dishes. The owners are so sweet and you can tell that they put in the hard work into making your order. I would come here for lunch whenever I can but their short hours on the weekday make it hard for me to catch them. They also have rice dishes and dumplings that are also delicious. I'm already thinking about the next bowl of noodles I'll get from them.“

“Foods are good & service needs to improve. Myself & friends are first time to attend this Ramen place, overall we like the food & will go back!!“

“The food here was amazing!!! Super affordable price!! I’ve tried most of the food here. Plus, the food itself will take you back as if ur eating in Myanmar. The service was fast and very friendly. Highly recommend to anyone!! Definitely gonna come back again !!!“

“If you’re into big beef bone noodles, this place is solid. The broth is clean and not overly salty, which I appreciated compared to some Vietnamese spots. I tried the noodles and the onion pancake, which was just okay. But the tea stood out. I got the unsweetened one and it actually tasted like real brewed tea, not the sugary kind.

Lunch for two was on the pricey side, but it’s 2025 and that seems to be the norm now. Overall, a good experience and worth a visit if you’re nearby.“

“I like this place. $13.99 per pound of food. You get to choose all your toppings. I recommend going heavy on the meats and light on the carbohydrates. That’ll be the best bang for the buck. They also have frog meat if that’s your lingo. I tried their beef bone broth and I like it a lot. I’d come back again.

**UPDATE**
Just a heads up. If you can’t eat mild this place won’t be for you. They can’t alter the broth. The only option is the tomato broth which is no spicy.“

“The dumplings are so good!!“

“The staff are nice & the food is good.“

“Their Tan Tan Men Ramen are the best! I love how I have the opportunity to customize our ground meat choices (I.e. ground pork or ground chicken). Topped with nori, baby bok choy, bean sprouts, hard-boiled egg, and ground meat, the ramen have the perfect flavor. Their chicken karaage were the best too!“

“On my last visit, I accidentally ordered the wrong item, but the manager was so kind and accommodating. They not only brought me the dish I had originally wanted but also let me keep the first item I ordered by mistake. That level of customer service really stood out to me and made me feel valued.
The food here is consistently delicious great portions, flavorful, and always fresh. Every time I come, I leave satisfied. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the excellent service!“

“Braised beef noodle soup with all the veg. Normal noodles and spicy. Imma gonna order that next visit. I ordered the above except medium spice level. See below.“

“Classic Taiwanese food. They hit me with the Mandarin the minute I stepped inside and I was totally unprepared for that to happen but it was chill.

Service is very fast. The price is not super cheap but it is reasonable. We got 麻辣豆乾 (spicy bean curd), 香腸 (Sinbala sausage), 炸排骨乾麵 (fried pork chop dry noodles), and 扣肉飯 (pork belly rice). The portions are pretty large. The pork chop was dry but crispy, so I have mixed feelings about that one.

They take card if you order more than $30 worth of food. I’d love to come back to try their shaved ice because I hear it’s better than Meet Fresh!“

“I am not the type of person to do many reviews but I feel this restaurant deserves one, especially, my recomendation. Tried this place with a couple of friends who are very picky when it comes to the authenticity of Asian food, especially when it comes to Thai food. Their verdict was that it's the real deal. We all enjoyed the delicious food and the awesome service. This could be our go-to place for Thai food from now on! 👍“

“Delicious food at a great value. Every dish was spot on and came out quickly but we were the only table seated at 9:30PM on a Thursday. Pretty small seating area with a cluttered interior but there is clearly care behind every plate. The chongqing noodles were quite spicy and numbing - my personal favorite. The crispy duck rice was very rich, and the spicy beef soup with rice noodles had a vinegar flavor that cut through but was a little lacking. Additionally the hot and sour jelly was refreshing and spicy.“

“The Beef Noodle Soup was delicious. As others said, the proportion of beef to noodle was generous, and the flavor was robust. Although the meat alone was somewhat salty, it paired perfectly with the wide noodles. The broth was also yummy, not too light or salty. The Dry Noodles were also pretty good. However, the Medium spice level was still quite spicy! The Cold Cucumber was so-so, more bland than expected. Refreshing after hot and spicy noodles, though. Besides that, the service was good, and the restauraunt itself was pretty clean.

Overall, the flavors were very authentic! Would come back here again for the Beef Noodle Soup, or to try the Guilin Noodle Soup.“

“Taiwanese person review:

This place is a sleeper hit for Taiwanese style beef noodle soup — round cut beef shanks (not cubed or chunked), homemade pickled mustard greens, and homemade chili oil.

Came here while visiting and was blown away given there are other options that look good too.

Probably still relatively unknown or gate kept bc it’s easy to miss and doesn’t look like much.

Get the beef noodle soup and be transported to the beef noodle soup stalls in Taiwan. Like most legit places, they will have their own homemade take on the pickled mustard greens and chili oil.

Seats like 10 people comfortably or maybe 15 people as a squeeze.

Has a bunch of traditional side dishes or take home meals and also frozen dumplings for sale. Saw 6 aunties come in while I ate and buy loads of stuff and bounce bc they know what’s up 👀“

“Beef soup was very good, nailed the mala without making it too spicy for the kid in the group. Stir fry chicken noodles were good but 75% cabbage. Fried rice was great but the pork chop was only OK, very small and fatty. Beef rolls also not great, they were very dry.“

“it was good,......................“

“I had the spicy hotpot which is amazing. The meat is super high quality and chewy, the soup is nicely mixed which is neither too oily nor too heavy. Also the ambience in the restaurant is cozy and warm, feels like having a meal in an auntie’s house. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Solid, straight to the point spot for ramen. I got the Kai Red ramen and wife got the Tonkotsu Classic. The Kai red had a good kick, not too overbearing and the soup had a nice consistency. Wife enjoyed the Tonkotsu classic, nothing fancy, just well balanced and very familiar in a good way. For appetizers, we also got Takoyaki and Sesame Fried Chicken, which my daughter really enjoyed. I thought the Takoyaki was the sleeper. The Kai's Boba Milk tea definitely came in handy to cool us off, from both the ramen and the heat outside. I want to try the Spicy Miso and Kai's white ramen on our next run.“

“One of the most authentic Chinese dumpling places. My favorite dish is an appetizer, cucumber with garlic.

Parking: We always go a little early or a little late for lunch/dinner, so parking is always available.

Wheelchair accessibility: Dine in area is wheel accessible, but the rest room, round the back, isn't.“

“Small authentic Guilin noodle in the Arcadia square plaza food court.

I was surprised by the huge portions so definitely for money's worth.
The lady in the front was nice and explained all the dishes and gave some recommendations which I took.

Noodles are pretty good and a side note, she told me the spices were really spicy and I didn't think much of it, but putting just a little of the red 🌶️🌶️ and after mixed into the soup, I drank the soup, it caught up and landed in my throat, the spice level is really no joke. Normally I can eat habanero level spice with ease, but this is really spicy.

Would come back again.“

“Tried the pork spare ribs, delicious. Tried the sweet and sour fish, pretty good. Tried tofu fish, interesting. Tried another dish, don't remember the name but had Chinese broccoli. Looks like long stem spinach to me. I liked the Chinese broccoli "“

“It's more of a three and a half star place but I always feel generous. The food here tends to be pretty consistent. The ambience is welcoming and always clean but the service can be a little frustrating cuz they always seem to be understaffed. I'm surprised that the prices have jumped up so much, though. I understand we are in a recession, and inflation, the aftermath of the pandemic, the war etc., has changed everything but here they've taken that a couple of steps further. For that reason alone I think this is one of my last visits. Still, if you've never tried it it's worth the experience. Recommended dishes are their hand torn Dan Dan noodles the spicy beef noodle soup, beef rolls and soup dumplings.“

“Good food, what one would expect. However, the self-kiosk automatically selected an 18% gratiuity for me, which I took issue with. Had the machine asked, "would you like to leave a gratuity for our hard-working staff?" I would've happily done so. However, the automatic selection is devious, at least in my opinion.“

“口味道地 但略偏鹹 麻辣臭豆腐很推“
