Noodles near El Segundo, CA

“I came here for dinner and ordered the Tonkatsu set.
The pork cutlet was thick, crispy, and the meat quality was really good. Everything tasted solid overall.
The only minor downside is that parking in this area can be a bit tough.“

“We landed in LA and were starving! Searched for Thai food nearby and came across this gem. Amazing selection of dishes, very authentic, and friendly service! Portions were generous and we enjoyed all of the dishes we ordered! My kids loved the pad see ew noodles. 10/10 would recommend 👌🏽“

“Reviews are mixed, but my experience was alright and Id give 3.8/5. The pho broth is on the sweeter side and had a lot of flavor, which I liked. The egg rolls were probably precooked or sitting under a heat lamp since it came out literally a minute after ordering. The noodles in the pho were pre-cooked and one big clump, but I was able to give it a few stirs, and it was good to go.

Overall atmosphere is dated. It's old style mom and pop. There was a worker in there playing a game or watching a drama on his phone with the speaker at max volume, so it was so distracting and annoying. Very rude to customers trying to dine.

Service was good. Orders taken promptly, and the grandma came over to check up and refill waters.“

“I recently tried Kyoto Paitan Ramen last week and Curry Ramen this week at this spot. The Kyoto Paitan Ramen was good, but I was really impressed by the Curry Ramen. It wasn’t very spicy, but it was packed with flavor. I prefer thicker noodles, so I’d love to see that option next time. Overall, a great experience!“

“It is super delicious Chinese food. the owner, they are all traditional Chinese. The food is great.

I continuously come in three days. All the different foods. They are really great. And my kids love it.

We finish all the food. “

“They have a sign in front that advertises $7 chow mein, which totally got my friend. It was definitely a heaping portion still of noodles with a good Thai chili kick. I split it into two meals still (although I probably don’t eat a lot compared to a lot of people). A bit greasy and I wish there was more veg. It was savory but not overly salty.

I felt like it was missing a little bit of nuance in its sweetness but I can’t pin what was missing. There was definitely still MSG because I was thirsty after, so that’s not what it was missing.

The free bone broth is really refreshing (reminds me of sullungtang) and a good way to either start or end your meal.“

“Doing tofu and mushrooms this well is VERY RARE. Most places miss the mark on the tofu marinade, and it can be bland. Not the case here! Bun & Mi are able to work umami miracles with the mushroom tofu noodle bowl. The vegan sauce (vinaigrette) is balanced and intentionally subtle but perfect in acidity and salinity and depth.

They clearly are a mom/pop place, with exceptional quality control. They have crushed ice, filtered water. This may sound like a strange thing to remark, BUT it makes all the difference! So many places are not paying attention to the little details, serving tap water that tastes like it came out of a fish bowl. This place is giving you a very intentional, humble and delicious meal. Doing a few menu items and doing them well!“

“Best little place in town!!! So sad to see them closing, so happy I got one last fantastic meal!!!“

“Had a quick lunch with a friend who lives nearby. I’d heard their jjamppong was really good, so I had to try it and honestly, it’s the best I’ve had in Los Angeles! I’ve tried a lot of places, but this one wins. I also ordered the small tangsuyuk, which was perfect for two people to share. I love that they offer a smaller size since Koreans usually enjoy jjamppong or jajangmyeon with tangsuyuk on the side. Everything was delicious. Definitely a great experience!“

“Good and delicious food…happy hour is great!“

“The service was very friendly and accommodating, happy to adjust the order to my specifications which I always love. I was the only one at the restaurant and The order came very quickly. I ordered the vegetable pad Thai with no traditional broccoli, only Chinese broccoli and the order was correct and hot. I

am usually a 7 out of 10 on the American spicy scale so I ordered “medium spicy” and asked for extra but I didn’t need it, it was the perfect amount of spice for me so know it runs a bit higher on the scale.

The vegetables were clearly fresh and cooked to a light crunch. The flavor was there but I’m a bit of a tough crowd as I’ve been to Thailand and it’s difficult to find it’s equal. One thing, I’ve never seen the noodles orange like that, curious what made them that color.“

“I definitely recommend the chocolate xiao long bao“

“The thick pork bone and fish soup has a deep umami flavor and a slightly smoky taste which is unique. A very good experience.“

“Good food and fast service.“

“One of the best ramens in LA! I love their shoyu and jyosui ramen. It’s light and refreshing, yet full of depth, and I just can’t stop eating. The noodles are medium-thick, pleasantly chewy, and absolutely delicious. Karaage and gyoza are also really good. The price is also really affordable! I highly recommend this place!“

“Tucked away behind LAX, this is a great Thai restaurant. Food was delicious and the service was great, even the decor was fun and festive. I prefer my Thai food of the sweeter side and so I really enjoyed the flavors here. The lunch menu is a good deal in today's economy. Very popular with the work lunch crowd.“

“Ambiance: a bright, clean, nicely adorned establishment, with a striking painting as a feature wall...the wait and serving staff definitely contributed to the overall ambiance... Service: as with the many other reviewers, our experience was very similar with respect to the service, as our server was knowledgeable, friendly, competent, helpful, and attentive...did I say friendly...definitely one of the elements we will take away from the evening... Food: on the recommendation of our server, who was very helpful, knowledgable, friendly, and attentive, we ordered the Takoyaki and our server's favourite Spicy Garlic Pork Shoyu Ramen x 2. The latter was described as a "spicy soy sauce tonkatsu broth with garlic is served with two slices of chashu pork, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, egg, fried onions, seaweed, green onions, and buttered corn". I absolutely love ramen, and, to me, what defines any bowl is the soup base, described by a very learned chef as "an intensely porky, opaque pale broth with a sticky-lipped intensity, with the rich, buttery texture of light cream; the best sports tiny nubbins of fat swimming around on their surface, a slick of mayu (black garlic oil) or chile-sesame paste, a handful of thin-sliced green onions, a soft-yolked soy-sauce tinged egg, and a few slices of meltingly tender chashu pork belly". The broth definitely reflected the events described, and the many hours spent in preparation, with a rich texture and flavour, complemented, but not over-powered by either the chili nor the garlic. It was a wonderful recommendation that we would order again! All in all, the evening that left us very satisfied in terms of having our hunger sated, and taste buds quite happy... the true test is whether we return, and, should we find ourselves back in the city, we would most definitely make a return trip to try other dishes!!“

“I thoroughly enjoyed this charming, unpretentious establishment located near Venice Beach. The pasta served here is among the finest I have experienced in quite some time. The black truffle pasta, which was recommended, was truly exceptional. The owner was polite and helpful. With this spot having great pricing its a must have while your in town.🤌🏽 ps get their garlic bread you wont regret it 😋“

“I’ve had pho in about 6 different states. This was the best I’ve ever had! Bravo! You guys deserve it! Thanks for letting us visit! 🍲“

“We decided to try out SOBAR as it was close by to our stay while in LA
It was a great chance as the food was great. Everything was excellent to include our communication with other patrons
The food was awesome and we plan to go there again before we leave LA“

“Best Pho place around. You know a place is going to hit when they have large sauce bottles
On the table . As soon as we stepped in we were greeted , which I appreciate considering many places leave u standing there awkwardly. The music level was on point , low enough to talk loud enough to appreciate. The staff is very kind , they give off family vibes . Food came out quickly and hot . We’ve been here several times so this review is long overdue . The pics I took before we left . Next time I’ll do a before and after not just an after ….. Two enthusiastic thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍“

“i absolutely love this place. The owners are super sweet and the food is DDDEEELLISSHH!“

“Awesome food , they’ve got great teriyaki bowls too!“

“Delicious 👌 the greatest meal at Korea town LA“

“First time.coming down to this one. Usually hit up the one in Little Japantown.

The soup here tastes just as good!
Only gripe... Not nearly as many of the tempura options or musibis like Sawtelle. But they do have the main dishes here and it was fast on a Friday night to order.

This place is bus your own dishes after.“

“If you’re looking for great pho, this Vietnamese restaurant absolutely delivers. The broth is rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced, with deep flavor that tastes like it’s been simmered for hours. The noodles were fresh, the meat was tender, and the portion size was generous. Everything came out hot and beautifully prepared, with fresh herbs that really completed the dish. Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. This is easily one of the best places around for a satisfying bowl of pho, and I’ll definitely be back again.“

“We love this place. They have many different choices of ramen. The servings are Huge !! I would recommend this place to Everyone.“

“I sampled their famous xiao long bao, delicious dumplings, savory fried rice and garlic string beans. Each dish was a taste experience, from the delicious dumplings in broth to the perfectly seasoned fried rice. The service is great and the atmosphere is inviting. Don't miss this place for authentic Taiwanese cuisine and unforgettable flavors. It has the taste of home.“

“蕎麦、日本食　最高 !“

“Good dumplings (very clean) especially u can buy frozen ones for takeout. It's not easy to find CLEAN restaurants in LA. Little far from ktown still good food. Hidden gem. I like they only use veggies and beef. Best in LA. Ratings are not overrated.“

“m/ Really good spicy awesome noodles 🍜“

“I have driven by this place several times and it doesn’t look like much on the outside but I had a good feeling about it.
As soon as, we walked in the Aroma of the kitchen was Amazing!! Plenty of “pick up orders” on the countertop! Menu had lots of options. Pho and spring rolls +peanut sauce and flavors did not fail super yummy!
Customers were eating happily just like us. Service was great and attentive. Returning soon !“

“Stopped in for dinner and got the drunken noodle, papaya salad, and khao soi. All were delicious. Thai spicy level wasn't too bad, but I might have gotten the american thai spicy version. Everything was delicious a d service was great.“

“Very good and genuine broths. Second best ramen in Alhambra. Kosuke on Main is my favorite.“

“I like this place about the food is wonderful“

“Amazing food, the spicy seafood soup was sectacular“

“Great customer service and delicious and flavorful food“

“I stopped by for lunch on a weekday thinking it wouldn’t be too busy—but the place was already packed shortly after opening, with nearly every table filled and Korean being spoken all around. That’s always a good sign.

The space isn’t large, but it feels right: clean, tidy, and welcoming. You can tell the ingredients are fresh, and there’s a sense of care in how the food is prepared—something that goes beyond just flavor.

We ordered three dishes, all standout:

27. Maeun Deung-Galbi Jjim (Spicy Braised Beef Short Ribs)
The portion was generous—five large beef ribs served with pumpkin, rice cakes, and potatoes, all simmering together. The staff kindly offered to cut the ribs and pumpkin into bite-sized pieces, and they did it carefully, making everything easy to eat. The meat was fall-apart tender and well-seasoned, without being overly rich.
But the highlight: adding the melted cheese on top. Watching the cheese stretch over the ribs was worth it alone—so aromatic and satisfying. At $55, this pot easily feeds three people. Great value.

13. Wang Galbi Tang (Premium Beef Rib Soup)
The broth was clear yet deeply flavorful, clearly slow-simmered for hours. The beef rib was so tender it fell off the bone with a gentle nudge of the chopsticks. Comforting and wholesome.

8. Seok Uh Sulung Tang (Beef Tongue & Brisket Soup)
A milder, clean-tasting soup packed with thinly sliced beef brisket, cheek meat, knee cartilage, and glass noodles. The beef tongue was tender, and the cartilage had a nice chew. A dash of the provided black pepper and salt brightened the flavors perfectly.

We also tried the meat dumplings—thin skin filled with pork and chives, simple but well-made.

This isn’t a flashy spot, but the food feels sincere and hearty. If you appreciate honest, homestyle Korean cooking, this place deserves a visit.

Parking: street parking available, or $3–$4 valet in the plaza.“

“A must. So delicious. Can't wait to go back!! Thank goodness for friends that share food stories. �“

“Best Pasta in Los Angeles!🤤😋🍝🍷“

“Warning, this place is addicting. :) That’s all i can say. God Fire for the win.“

“Phorage on Overland in Los Angeles is a great spot for a relaxed meal with a fresh take on Vietnamese cuisine. The menu has a cool mix of traditional and modern dishes that are both tasty and unique. The Pho Birria is absolutely incredible. 10/10“

“Indoor👍🏼👍🏼we opted for it but was surprised when they ushered us to the back portion of the restaurant. It makes you feel like you really are in an authentic Japanese Izakaya restaurant.“

“Delicious home made pasta ! Friendly staff !“

“Really good food and fast service“

“This was one of my childhood go to spots from when I used to live in L.A. It has been about eight years since I last came, and even though I do not fully remember the exact taste, I just remember really liking the food. Coming back while visiting did not disappoint at all.
Thank you to the lady who works here for taking our photo. She even told me to post it, which made me laugh.
I ate two pans, and yes, the servers can seem a little curt at times, but if you are a local or someone who has been coming for years, you understand that it is just part of the place. The food may not be super extravagant, but you can feel the sincerity in it.“

“Shoutout to Kim who, despite a jammed dining room, dozens of pickup orders, managed to greet me warmly & expedite my takeout request (silly me, ordered in person after the theater). I had time to watch her operate as the coordinator of all the food leaving the kitchen & wow, what a job! Thank you Kim!

The food is consistently fabulous! This time the salt & pepper tofu & veggie noodles, beyond delicious!

Only heads-up. Dining room is very, very loud and too much traffic walking through, as well as delivery people crowded around waiting, so as pretty as the space is, it wouldn’t be my pick for a quiet, conversational dinner. More like a bustling food court vibe.“

“Delicious food that keeps me coming back! My personal go tos are the salmon poke and chicken katsu bowl; I think you get the most bang for your buck getting either one of those. Chill atmosphere with a nice and varied music playlist in the background. It gets fairly busy during the 12 PM lunch rush, but nothing too crazy for an unreasonable wait time. 5/5 stars!“

“Mountain Noodles offers an extensive variety of Korean dishes, which initially made me skeptical about their focus on noodles. However, I was surprised to find that their menu cleverly builds on a foundation of decent meat broth with slight variations.

I tried their signature dish, the beef noodles, and opted for the mild spicy version, which unexpectedly came with kimchi in the soup. I would recommend going with the regular flavor to fully appreciate the rich flavor of the broth. Kimchi is also served as a standard side dish. The ribs in the noodles were perfectly cooked, and the noodles themselves were delightfully chewy and tasty.

While the service was not particularly friendly or proactive, it didn't significantly detract from the overall quality of the food. Mountain Noodles is a solid choice for anyone craving varolious and well-prepared Korean cuisine.“

“Found this place on Google while spending a night in LA near the airport 🛫. The place looks rough as heck, but don't be fooled. The food is incredible. Close to, if not the best sushi I ever ate. I get sushi everytime I travel to different places, so I have tried a fair bit. The place is self serve you set the table yourself and everything else. The fish was extremely fresh and the chef is an expert. He prepares the sushi 🍣 right out in the open so no secrets. The rolls are big and filling. I would highly recommend this place if you are around LAX and want sushi. They also do take out and door dash services. Thanks to chef!“
