I like this spot! They prepare marvelous meals, they have a rich menu, The cook in that place is an expert, I like a lot tasting all their dishes. The dishes are always good, the service towards the visitors is good. I often eat in this place and I was never disappointed. I recommend it to all.

Went today to find out this place no longer exists. Shame on Yelp and on Restaurants.com. I called the number listed 2 times which the number is even di sconnected. I even walked to the place being that it was appropriate a mile and a half from me. Yelp please make sure you update your listings.

This place is closed. They were only there for a few months according to Wokcano employees today. I was hoping to try the braised beef soup. Sorry guys. Wish you the best.

Found this new gem in our neighborhood while scouting for new places for our family to have lunch at after Sunday mass service, and good thing we went ro check it out. Although we were the only customers that day, it was not bad at all because we enjoyed all of our noodle soup orders, and the crushed eggplant served on ice cream cones. We'll definitely be back!

Came with an open mind and excited to see Asian food in Burbank. Should have known better when we were the only ones in the restaurant at peak dinner hours. Started off with the waitress who was invisible and disorganized. She split her time between Wokcano and here. Ordered the Dan Dan Noodles, Brisket Pho, and Spicy wings. EVERYTHING IS SALTY AF. The dan dan noodles were drowned in chili flecks; I couldn't even taste the expected nutty flavor or the texture of the noodles. It just burned my tongue with each bite so I stopped eating. The Pho is more like soy sauce based and salty. The only highlight of the night was the brisket in the pho, very soft and succulent. The wings are coated with salt and spices, but overly so, that your tongue feels like you've sucked on 10 warheads. So disappointed. I never left a place because the food was inedible. Then all night I kept chugging glasses of water. I hope this place reads these reviews and goes lighter with the salt and chili.

I from China 25yrs ago. So happy found this place in Burbank. Don't have to drive to San Gabriel deal with traffic. Food was delicious. It's real spicy noodles.

I tried the spicy spare rib noodles and was too salty, I couldn't eat it. My mom had the spare rib noodle soup, I tried it and it was good.

I expected better. I love noodle soup--I'm talking obsession. I got the braised chicken spicy noodle soup. There was the overpowering, tongue numbing (literally tongue numbing, not an exaggeration to demonstrate my disapproval of the flavor) flavor of peppercorn. Personally I like the spice of red peppers. Black peppers are fine, but this was overpowering and yes, my tongue is still numb from too much black peppercorn--that was the only ingredient I was tasting while eating the soup. It just killed it for me. The chicken meat was not great either. I was constantly picking out cartilage and other fatty bits. I'd say much of the meat was inedible. Hope the pho is better. I'm so disappointing because I was excitedly waiting for this place to open.

Decent food and service. We went when they were just newly opened. Worked out as my family liked it. Definitely recommend going to check them out.

This place is awesome and has great food! I lover the atmosphere too. The noodle soup was my favorite.
good music and decor but the food is lacking much needed flavor in all three dishes we tried. 1st and last time... save your time and money and eat somewhere else.

I'm bummed this place didn't work out for me. I was hoping there would finally be a legit noodle spot in the are, but I was disappointed. I wish I could say otherwise! They are new here so I might come back when things start picking up and working out better but overall it left me no desire to return. I ordered the spicy noodle and it has that schezuan spice I love but for some reason it still left me feeling empty. The chips in the beginning were bomb though!

I like the interior design and setup of the restaurant. Its conveniently located right by parking area accessible to the public. I ordered the house pho and I enjoyed the broth a lot. It has great flavor and not very salty. I wasn't thirsty at all after drinking the broth. Unfortunately the meat was pretty fatty and I had to pick a lot of fat out while eating. Another star off is for the service. We waited for 25+ mins for our pho while there were only 2 other tables seated...

Food was ok, but the next time I'm craving soup or pho I dont think this is the place I'll be craving. It's forgettable. I had the same experience as someone else with the check in offer. The offer says it's for an order of egg rolls which is 4 pieces. It's on the Yelp check-in also on their Instagram account. She asked how many check ins we were a family of 4 (2 kids - 2 adults) my teenage son had his phone and so did my Husband and I we said 3 of us checked in so she brought out only 3 egg rolls which means, I went egg roll less cause I wasn't going to let my kid miss out on egg rolls. If that had been the offer I wouldn't have thought much of it, but the offer says and order, and even if that had been the offer really. Did you really expect the kid to check in too? Any restaurant with some business sense and especially a new restaurant trying to get repeat business would have just brought out 4 egg rolls and this tells me they will not last long. We spent over $70.00 for a family of 4 on soup. What's an extra egg roll? I didn't argue with them it wasn't worth it, but it DID bother me and told me everything I needed to know about how they run their business. So I dont think I'll be back. They seam really cheap we asked for extra napkins. It was 4 of us they gave us 3 and she fanned them out knowing it was only 3 she had brought us. These little things dint go unnoticed.

We came here, fully expecting to enjoy another wonderful Happy Hour night at the Wokcano Back Room, as we have done forever! But lo and behold, we arrived and they said it had changed to this place - the Monster Noodle House. Since we were here already, we decided to give it a try. First of all, there's no happy hour. We ordered off the menu ... an array of weird options. We got chicken wings, Szechuan noodles, and then the eggplant with crispy cone. They use one particular seasoning and it's on ALL of the food. So basically, everything tastes the same - like that one seasoning. The eggplant with crispy cone was probably the MOST BIZARRE THING I HAVE EVER EATEN. It's literally mashed eggplant served with ice cream cones. First of all, ice cream cones and eggplants don't go together. So strange. The chicken wings were meh. The Szechuan noodles were equally meh - super duper oily. Lastly, we also ordered spicy eggplant on the side. They made it for us because it wasn't a menu item. It tasted like death. I don't think I will EVER go here again. To the owner - WHY did you change to this? What was wrong with what you had. The food was excellent!! The calamari, chicken wings, the sushi, the honey walnut shrimp... UGH. Bring it back.
