Noodles near Brea, CA

“After watching a movie with BTS J-hope nearby, our group grabbed a quick lunch at nearby Thai 7 Bistro at 1:30 pm. It was pouring outside, so we appreciated the indoor dining space and that our group of five was able to fit (thanks to the other customers who swapped tables so Thai 7 Bistro could put two tables together for us).

Since it was raining, a warm soupy dish sounded good. The kao soi ($21.95) caught most of our eyes so three of us each ordered that. I got mines with beef brisket. Crispy chicken wings were an option, but I didn't want to deal with the bones and with the wings potentially getting soggy in the soup. I usually get pad see ew or a curry or crab fried rice, so I never had kao soi before. And now that I had it, it will be part of my standard Thai food order now! I love that there were noodles in this dish plus topped with crispy noodles. The soup was almost as thick as curry. Beef brisket wasn't too fatty either. It all just went well together! I also ordered a Thai iced tea ($4.50) and that was delicious, a good balance of sweet with my very savory meal.

It did take a while for us to get the check since the restaurant got busy, but we appreciated being able to pay separately for our own order rather than try to split the bill five ways with different orders.

We had all parked at the parking structure by the theater, so it was a quick walk back. There are some street parking spots up front, but we preferred the covered parking structure given the rain.“

“Delicious food, fast and courteous service; we tried various entree and they were all amazing!“

“吃台灣的平民美食，有回家的感覺。“

“Interesting noodles. I didn't get a chance to ask if they really made from potatoes but I assume they are due to the name... Not sure exactly what powder means tho...

So all the options are basically like an individual noodle/hotpot thing. There's basically 3 options... Beef, seafood hotpot, and seafood pot...I have no idea what seafood pot vs seafood hotpot means. They have 4 flavors: spicy, slightly spicy, not spicy, and tomato; they have 2 noodle choices: potato or knife cut.

I got the premium beef tomato flavor with both the potato noodles and knife cut noodles. The noodles resemble udon but with way more bounce/chew. The knife cut noodles were really good too. I kinda wish I got more of the knife cut noodles... Like a 50/50 ratio but it was more like 75/25. The broth was tasty and the beef was good. One thing to note was that there were too many mushrooms relative to the other stuff. I don't love mushrooms so found it slightly annoying there was more of that than the other stuff. Otherwise, I found the dish to be good. Price at $16 isn't a decent price for the dish.

Overall, if you've never tried potato noodles def swing by and give this dish a shot.“

“We were in Anaheim for a Ducks game and decided we were craving dumplings. We came across Yum Dumpling and are so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, the restaurant felt cozy and welcoming, and the service was excellent.

Once the food arrived, it was clear we made the right choice. Everything was absolutely delicious. We ordered the Kung Pao chicken, house special chow mein, and the shrimp and pork spicy wontons each dish was packed with flavor and made with fresh, crunchy vegetables. The steamed pork bao dumplings were especially impressive: juicy, tender, and full of flavor.

To top it off, we had the passion fruit green tea, which was refreshing and the perfect complement to the meal. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere were all outstanding. We’ll definitely be coming back next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend!“

“I ordered their beancurd beef tripe and tomato crab paste rice noodles today. I have gotten dinner several times before and had tried their shrimp roll, hainan chicken rice. All of the dishes I tried are good. It’s pretty quiet usually when I visit this place. The most people I’ve seen are probably 3-4 tables of customers. Service is good every time and servers are very attentive and friendly.

Its more like a 4 for this place because its a place I would often come because of their food and service. I decided to give this place a 5 star instead because I want to support small businesses like these and because this place is more hidden / low key so unless you are in the area for a quick lunch, theres a less chance people would find this place.“

“This little mom-and-pop noodle shop was such a great find! We stumbled in right around 8:30 PM, just before they closed, and ended up being the last ones there.
​Their noodles were honestly delicious. I mean, my nephew, who is notoriously picky, even complimented the shrimp noodle! The dandan noodles were a touch too salty for my personal taste, but everyone else absolutely loved them.
​Even though it was late, the service was great. We never felt rushed. I'm definitely going to be coming back whenever a noodle craving hits!“

“I recently visited 粤味坊 (Yue Wei Fang), a cozy Chinese restaurant that specializes in authentic Cantonese cuisine, and I was pleasantly surprised by the experience.
The ambiance is warm and inviting, with traditional Chinese decor and soft lighting that creates a relaxed dining environment. It’s a great place for both casual meals and small gatherings“

“Music is a little loud, place can use a better ventilation system to clear the food, the onion and grease smell of the place which stays in clothing and hair hours after we left then place. But overall, we would come back for another b owl of pho next time .“

“Pho 45 in Garden Grove is a bright, busy, and very clean spot with a friendly vibe. We ordered the phở tái chín và viên and the phở tái nạm gân. The portions were generous and well balanced, with fresh herbs and noodles. The broth was light and I personally wished for a bit more spice aroma, but it was still one of the better pho experiences I have had.

The service truly stood out. For a small mom and pop restaurant, it was the best I have seen. The owner watches every detail and the staff is very attentive. I had a stroller with me and before I even reached the table they cleared a chair so I could park it easily. Our food also came out super fast.

The space is simple with white textured walls and is very family friendly. Service is a 10, food is a 9. I would definitely return“

“I really like the service that I got there they really care about their customers and I do really appreciate that a hole lot . Thank you for awesome service and great food .“

“Our party of 20 came in on Christmas Eve and they were able to accommodate us. The food was definitely made with love. Sushi, bento box and ramen was phenomenal!! The (picky) kids got chicken and fries and they loved it as well! Big serving sizes and great prices. Oh, and the playlist was fire. Can’t wait to come back!!“

“Absolutely loved this sushi spot! The fish was incredibly fresh, and the salad was light and tasty. They had a Christmas salmon special that was such a great deal--5 pieces of salmon sashimi, 2 pieces of salmon sushi, and a classic salmon roll. Perfect for salmon lovers!

I also tried the shishito peppers, which were nicely charred with just the right amount of spice. The spicy tuna rainbow roll was another highlight--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made.

The service was awesome too. Chrystal was my server and she was so cool, funny, and made the whole experience even better. She was so professional and down to earth! Definitely a place I'd come back to again! You should give it a try if you're in the area!
The decor was super cute too. The decor reminds you of being in Japan!“

“Wow, great food and atmosphere. The pad see eww had one of the best char on the noodles I've ever had and I lived in SF. Great people behind the counter and very friendly. My son's first time having thai food and he loved the drunken noodles(nospice). Would recommend to anyone.“

“This is my go to chicken pho spot. It’s not overly busy like their main location in little Saigon. The spicy chilli sauce they have is really good if your into that stuff and if you’re not feeling like pho you can order their fried chicken leg which is super crispy that is also served up with fried chicken skin which is addicting. Just remember they are closed on wednesdays.“

“The food is very delicious, the restaurant is very beautiful, there is a lot of parking. Importantly all of the chefs are beautiful“

“The Hainan chicken was tender and juicy, and the skewers were wel-seasoned!
The restaurant's interior is very cozy, decorated with plants and Chinese-themed items.
Ordering is easy with the QR code on each table, which is convenient.
This spot specializes in potato noodles, skewers, and Hainan chicken.
Combo #1 comes with two bowls of rice and soup, a plate of chicken, cucumber salad, and fried peanut. The rice is very fragrant and the chicken was tasty with the sweet and spicy sauces.
The potato noodles is very tasty. I will say the best one in LA. If you want to add more protein to the soup that’s good. It is also good for the original recipe. I absolutely love the numbing, peppery flavor of Sichuan pepper in potato noodles.“

“Genuine Japanese Ramen with rich Miso taste. No other ramen shops serve this taste and only one in SoCal. It’s worth to spend your time to go to this place if you are Ramen Lover! Now they start serving Shio-Ramen (Clear Salt base soup) with Truffle oil flavor. This one is very good, too!“

“這餐廳很好吃風格很好“

“Fun spot. Needed to get away from the craziness of Disneyland. Quick drive from the park to this neighborhood spot. Good Szechuan style noodle spot 🍜 . Soup dumplings good. Pan fried pork dumplings EXCELLENT 🥟 . Szechuan popcorn chicken on point along with the braised beef noodle soup.

Service was the standout. The woman serving, who seemed like the owner, was genuine and fun. Really made the experience for us. We had one of four kids crying (while the rest of us laughed, long story) and she ran over with tissues and gave her a hug that made here smile. ❤️“

“The dining experience at Pho Vina was wonderful. As I've mentioned before, Pho is my ultimate comfort food. I love randomly searching for Vietnamese noodle shops in LA to satisfy my cravings. Vina is exactly what I was looking for—you don't need top-tier, luxurious décor, the fanciest cutlery, or complicated culinary techniques. When that bowl of Pho is placed in front of me, a single sip of the broth is enough to fill me with happiness, and Vina gave me that feeling.

I also ordered the Chicken Skewers; the portion was generous, and the meat was marinated perfectly. I particularly enjoyed the Raw Beef (tái); I requested that the kitchen staff blanch the meat slices for me, as I was worried the broth might not be hot enough when served, and Vina graciously accommodated my request.

Yesterday, I gave my first one-star review to a different Pho place, and that experience prompted me to seriously give Vina a five-star rating to prove that I don't have any prejudice against Vietnamese cuisine. The friendly staff and delicious food energized my Monday. Thank you!“

“Great service and great tasting Pho. My kids love it here“

“The best Thai cuisine in town, Chef is from Thailand, authentic taste as well. Walked in with my husband in mid-Dec, we both are Green / Red chicken curry lovers, price is right, enjoyable food, strongly recommend. Then, got lunch special take out today, it was fast prepared. Brought it home, food temperature and taste remained Hot/Delicious as we expected. Definitely would visit or take out again.“

“Wow, the taste was amazing - both the pho and the cucumber lemonade. The pho was richly and deeply flavored and was satisfying while still being bright and fresh feeling. The service was very prompt, friendly and helpful - the server understood my not liking overly sweet drinks and recommended the cucumber lemonade as refreshing while still having sweetness. It was, indeed, refreshing and sweet - perfectly balanced flavors. The server also wisely suggested we package the noodles and broth of our leftovers seperately. I almost never eat out, but I would if I lived near Soup Shop.“

“Amazing experience from when we walked through the door to when we walked out had such an amazing experience!! THE FOOD WAS AMAZING SUSHI WAS ON POINT AND THE PRICES are great!!!!! But what would make me come back(cause I’m from Temecula) was the service and the amazing food“

“1 year ago I went here for the 1st time, ordered noodle #2, black bean, fried rice and a soup. The beef noodle #2 is the only item I order after that. I grew up eating so many ramen and Chinese noodle plates in San Gabriel Valley area and at little tokyo, Jeong 's noodle is my top 1 or 2. I invited my family and friends over to try it,they all liked it. The business next door has people lining up all the time, but I wasn't impressed by their food. Jeong 's Noodle deserves that long line.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Noodle St. did not disappoint. The garlic chicken appetizer was incredibly flavorful—perfectly cooked with a rich garlic punch that made it hard to stop eating. The Signature beef noodles with spicy paste were outstanding: tender beef, great noodle texture, and just the right level of heat to bring everything together without overpowering the dish.

On top of the great food, the service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and efficient. Everything tasted fresh, well-balanced, and satisfying. Absolutely worth getting, and I’ll definitely be back.“

“Tasty ramen and fried rice. Takoyaki was so good we almost thought it was freshly made. Stir fry vegetables good too. Run by Japanese operators. Service and food was prompt on a busy weekday lunch hours. Oh, and I love their beautiful Japanese ceramic plates.“

“The food is amazing and even more importantly the staff was so incredibly helpful and friendly. I would go there just for the staff!“

“My first visit to Nava Thai Cuisine was a delightful experience, guided by the staff's super friendly recommendations. Walking in, I felt welcomed, and the service was quick—my food was ready in just about 10 minutes, which is fantastic for a dine-in or takeout order.
The staff suggested a few favorites, and I settled on the Chicken and Vegetables with a medium spice level, and an order of the Fried Tofu.
The Fried Tofu was definitely a highlight. The portion was generous, and the texture was incredible—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and tasted almost like a savory donut! It was accompanied by two flavorful dipping sauces: a rich garlic dipping sauce and a vibrant spicy sauce, which elevated the dish perfectly.
The Chicken and Vegetables was tasty and the medium spice had a nice kick without being overwhelming. My only minor wish is that the portion size was slightly larger, as I found it to be a little on the small side. However, the freshness of the ingredients and the warm, friendly service more than made up for this small detail.
Overall, Nava Thai Cuisine offers a good experience with fantastic staff and standout dishes like their fried tofu. I would recommend this place, especially if you're looking for fast, friendly service and a great appetizer“

“Our Boss buys lunch for our monthly goal met. And this month he had the opportunity to try Soonheene. Highly recommend their Rice water is tasty and perfect sweetness. Like a verson of Horchata without the dairy. Thier chicken was super crispy as it should be n very flavored. Will definitely come with Family“

“The owner is very sweet, attentive and so polite she is fast and always ready for you when you order with a smile and the food is awesome and she makes my experience better. Since my first experience she has been amazing I come back even by myself and she is the best I definitely recommend this place to for dinner with the fam. Or friends!“

“nice and fresh and clean 👌#1 service good customer service!“

“One of the few authentic Vietnamese restaurants I have found in orange county!“

“Absolutely amazing, the portions are huge and prices are exquisite. The family that runs this place is super nice and welcoming, and they’ve decorated the restaurant so nicely. The pho is by far my favorite, with really high quality meat. The appetizers are only 5 dollars and better than any other place I’ve tried. Truly the best pho spot out there.“

“No fancy looking photos, good tasting soups for dinner. We did a take out, and was amazed how they packed the food. It was so sealed, good thing i have scissors during our trip. Then later found out they provided a plastic cutter for the film.
We really enjoyed the beef rib soup. Kimchi was really good too. I know their pork belly soup was popular too, but its not much to our liking. The seafood pancake probably had too much egg on the batter, it became more omelette. But its still tasty.“

“Best pho I ever had! Clean place. At 1230am, this restaurant was still packed.“

“Bueno“

“Broth is great Staff is very helpful & Vibe is great 8.5“

“Super dumpling was on my radar to come to when visiting California because we don't have any halal dumplings where I live. I was really looking forward to it and, thankfully, they lived up to the hype.

The pan beef fried buns were great, as were was everything else that we bought ordered. The wontons and dumplings were amazing. We got both pan fried and steamed to try both of them and they were both great.

Thankfully, we were able to find seating fairly quickly for our family of five, but they were really busy and definitely get packed quickly. I'm not sure if you can call ahead, but it's worth a shot. I actually canceled our reservation to another place close to the area just because I would rather support an establishment that has meat, and i'm happy to have found that here.“

“Amazing authentic Ramen. Service and food was excellent. My new favorite in Lombard!“

“My favorite local Vietnamese restaurant. I always get their number 18 pho which is brisket and well done flank. This place is the only place around me that serves amazing food while being very affordable. Service is always welcoming and room is always filled with happy customers.“

“I’ve found myself coming to this spot many times whenever I’m in OC. It’s one of the few places where you can find a wide variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes beyond just pho, which, honestly, a lot of places still don’t get right.

I’ve tried more than six different dishes here, and every single one has been flavorful, delicious, and truly authentic. It tastes just like home.

Some of my favorites are the Bún Mắm, Bánh Hỏi Heo Quay, Bún Riêu, and Hủ Tiếu Mì Khô—all so good and packed with flavor. I don't recommend Bột Chiên tho!

The service is always friendly, and the food comes out quickly, which makes the experience even better.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for real Vietnamese food that goes beyond the usual. A hidden gem worth checking out!“

“The best Gob Chang restaurant in the Buena Park area. Food comes out already mostly cooked and is kept hot on small burner, so no bbq smell after eating. Meat quality is great, and their side dishes are the best combination of the meat. Their pork belly is great also. And definitely try their cold noodle.“

“The chinese pop music playing in here is pretty loud. The drinks are very large in size so it's definitely worth the purchase at $5. The noodles are pretty pricey but for the flavor and noodle quality i would say it's worth it. The noodles are perfectly chewy and absorb the broth flavors well“

“They make authentic Guilin rice noodles here. So you order the noodles through the QR code and you can get the condiments to add to the bowl. We had the Golden Broth Beef Brisket Rice Noodles and Premium Signature Noodles. Added a fried egg and Secret Recipe Braised Tofu. Quick service and would return.“

“Best pinoy fast food. Hot Taho!“

“Good food, casual, great location and convenient.“

“had the butaton Ramen, very very good! 1st time here, I definitely will be coming back!“

“My 2nd visit here so far. Fell in love with the Pad Thai. 1st visit had the Pad Thai & Japanese Pan Noodles. Today ordered 2 Pad Thai & Spicy Korean Beef Noodle. Will be coming more oftenly to try other items on the menu being as loyal regular customer Great location with. spacious hip atmosphere dining with outdoor dining patio out front of restaurant and very generous friendly staffs. I would recommend this restaurant to everybody who's into Italian pasta's, Asian noodles, variety's of salads & soups giving 5 stars out of 5 stars.“
