Noodles near Encino, CA

“Test its by yourself.clean foods and good service“

“Authentic Thai foods, very clean, beautiful environment, friendly owner, and servers. Perfect place for small to large group and special event.“

“Arrived near closing time but decided to try it. There was metered street parking a short distance from the place. Located in Santa Monica (Montana Ave.) it was small but cozy. The owner was welcoming as I entered. I ordered the shrimp & pork spring rolls and the Pho Ga (shredded chicken). Definitely a bit too much food but I was satisfied with everything. I would definitely stop by again to try their Banh Mi or Bowls.“

“Came for a quick dinner bite. Food was tasty and service was efficient. Easy dine out option for kids. Curry ramen is unique, and actually goes well with the karaage. Egg yolk in ramen wasn't runny. Karaage sando was tasty and a good value.“

“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.“

“Dee did such an incredible job. She was very polite and professional. She was super attentive and overall helpful. Definitely would come earlier in the day as the dinner period can get a bit loud but regardless a very benevolent experience!“

“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“

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

“m/ Really good spicy awesome noodles 🍜“

“I dare say that I have a lot of experience in ramen, I recommend this place,delicious rich fatty broth,wonderful noodles, I would say 9/10, just because the small pieces of meat and in my opinion they are undercooked to the right condition to melt in your mouth.Otherwise, it's a very decent place with good service.“

“One of several new malatang places in the area, Bruin Bowl is not a large place, but they seem to have a solid selection of meats, veggies, noodles, and seafood despite their modest size. Both the bone broth and the chicken/fish maw soup bases are pretty tasty too. Excellent option if you're in the area.“

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

“Fantastic food from the scallion pancake, seaweed and tofu salad, fried rice, sautéed broccoli, and the most stand out - the Dan mein noodles. All of this was a perfectly filling meal for two people.

The service is fantastic and Mason was the best server we could ask for. So friendly, helpful, and kind.

Worth a stop in if you’re in the area. They get pretty busy at peak times so worth coming a little before or after the main lunch and dinner rushes.“

“I really enjoyed the food and it was not very pricey at all. Most of the plates, even the favorites at that, we’re about $15… Everything on the menu is Vegan 🙋🏽‍♂️“

“I like this place about the food is wonderful“

“Ughhh… this place is absolutely always DELICIOUS! Whether you dine in or order delivery, its so delicious, flavorful & comforting!

This was my 5th time having it and it never disappoints.

We get the cooked brisket and the chicken egg rolls. Pair it with a sprite for a crispy cold taste to wash down the delicious food.

You won’t be disappointed!“

“A must-stop whenever I'm in the Valley. LaVo specializes in Thai fusion pizzas. The Thai Curry Chicken and Pad Kapao Gai (Spicy Basil Chicken) are standouts, and the Tom Yum Pizza is worth trying too. Spice is adjustable, which is great for groups with varying tastes. They also have a full Thai menu with a solid range of noodle dishes if pizza isn't your thing. Consistently excellent.“

“Hole in the wall teriyaki place. You order at the counter, you pick up your food, you clean up your own table after eating. Easy free parking lot or street parking. They have a lunch special for $11.95 that includes chicken and rice with salad. They also have specials A, B, C and D that are around the $15 to $20 price range. I had the special C that had white rice, a big piece of chicken katsu, two pieces of chicken teriyaki, salad, two small onion rings and two dumplings for about $15.95. Not a bad value. You get a teriyaki sauce and hot sauce on the side. Their teriyaki sauce is very good here! The serving is very generous. I was not about to finish it in one sitting.“

“They have the best Pho in the Reseda area. This is my go to spot since the goldfish in the front entrance.. they have really made it look nice. All their pho is delicious. Everything on the menu is amazing. They are also opened late that is a plus. Location is always busy but worth the wait. Their food is authentic tasting.“

“I was here before the new owners and the food and service was OK but not good. Ever sine the new owners took over the pho here is the best I've tasted in the valley. Service is good, clean tables, and all the ingredients are fresh. They always give you 4 limes and condiments which I love. And they don't skimp out on the napkins. I go here every Friday. Pho Phriday!“

“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.“

“I randomly found this place when I was in the area. The restaurant itself is very cute and clean. The service was superb, we got seated right away and got our water right away. We ordered the noodles, XLB and popcorn chicken and cucumber salad. The XLB was so juicy and I didn’t expect a stream to shoot out from my mouth from the first bite into the XLB. Thankfully I didn’t hit anyone with the XLB juice. I will be back to try other dishes.“

“This is our go-to sushi restaurant. The food never disappoints. The service is very friendly.“

“The best ramen in Culver City! I first had Ippudo in New York over a decade ago went it was arguable the top ramen spot in the entire city. Since then I’ve had it in Tokyo and now am so glad to have here in Culver. The Akamaru Modern is still as excellent and balanced a bowl as it’s always been.“

“Flavorful and delicious! A hidden gem for Japanese cuisine in the valley. We all enjoyed the takoyaki. The Futaba (tonkatsu) ramen and (especially) the black garlic tonkatsu ramen are so good! Someone also had the chicken katsu curry and would recommend it. Great service and also very dog friendly on the patio.“

“Absolutely fantastic place!
My first time and I was greeted by the sweetest cashier helping me choose what I want and what specials are available.

I chose a pad Thai with shrimp and a Thai tea to drink.

The Thai tea was rich, creamy, and not to sweet and perfect to cool down the spiciness from the hot sauce.

And that pad thai - WOW. It's one of the more unique pad thai I've had, it's a tad sweet so the hot sauce helps balance it out, and it's a very rich and noodle-focused dish. The shrimp were a tad overcooked but still tasty and juicy. I loved the juiciness of the noodles too without it being a swamp of sauce.

I will definitely need to come back!!“

““Had a great experience at Chowking. The food came out fresh, hot, and flavorful, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout the visit. The restaurant was clean, service was quick, and everything was well organized even during busy hours. The Halo-Halo and siopao were especially good, and the portions were satisfying. Definitely a solid spot for comfort Filipino-Chinese food in the area. Looking forward to coming back again soon!”“

“A Los Angeles tradition. been visiting since the 80s and they still have their mojo! delicious! Personal favorites noodles in peanut sauce and szechuan dumplings.“

“I love Kinza. It’s a cute but no pretension type of sushi spot! Their rolls come with 10 pieces (not 8) AND you can order half size rolls even for their specialty rolls which is INCREDIBLE. Very fresh, flavorful, lots of good combos, and service is excellent.

If you can’t find parking on the street, park in the alley behind the restaurant!“

“When my husband and I arrived we checked in an there was an hour waiting time. We still chose to wait around patiently. We finally got called to our seats, the waitress was very friendly and explain the menu. It is hard to read the menu because the lights are super deemed. We use our phone light in order to be able to read the menu items. Overall I enjoyed my husband's company & the pasta was delicious.“

“Got two rolls and the sashimi combo. Sexy lady and something with salmon and cream cheese. Both were fire. The sashimi combo was so fresh and delirious. I found this place on a whim and I’m so grateful I did. The owner was such a sweetheart. I’ll definitely be coming back here again.“

“Needed to edit my online order but couldn’t after placing it, so called the restaurant and luckily was able to get some quick, easy assistance from David! He was able to substitute the item for me without issue. When I arrived, he confirmed my whole order for me and visually showed me that everything was there. Portions and quality were great. My favorite was the Mongolian beef. Would definitely come back, especially for a good lunch special!“

“Fantastic food, fair prices, friendly service. Thank you, Sam and the staff, we enjoyed the food and the company. The place feels warm. The food we took to our fellows in the office got many compliments. Thank you,“

“Best Pasta in Los Angeles!🤤😋🍝🍷“

“I visited this place on 04/07/2026, and saying that I liked it would be an understatement.

The service was 100 out of 10. The waiter knew the menu very well and was able to make great recommendations. I ordered the coconut milk soup with seafood, and it was absolutely delicious. There was a lot of seafood in it, and the portion was very generous.

We also ordered chicken and drinks. Honestly, the amount of food they brought us could easily feed three people. For $49 total, it was definitely worth it.

I also want to mention the honesty and kindness of the staff. I accidentally left my AirPods at the table, and the waitress found my car in the parking lot and personally returned them to me. That really impressed me and says a lot about the level of service and care they provide.

The atmosphere was calm, pleasant, and very welcoming. I definitely recommend this place and would be happy to come back again.“

“This was fantastic!!!!!!!!! For money, what an amazing value! I didn’t expect any quality when I saw kiosk but was pleasantly surprised of the appetizers - pork buns and crispy rice thing. It’s comparable to what you get at a fancy name Asian restaurants.“

“First time excellent fresh food ..Live the appetizers“

“i have been coming here at least once or twice a month for more than a year now and they never fail me..

their Kuromayu ramen is amazing…
the broth is unmatched even by daikokuya in little tokyo. the noodles is about average but the soup and the pork is so delicious they more than make up for the noodles shortcomings…

the staff is very polite and friendly, service is fast.

friendly , cozy atmosphere, ample parking…

yesterday it was freakin’ hot and to quench the heat , i got ramen 🤣

that’s how i roll.“

“Fresh delicious food prepared to order.“

“Came as a solo diner and felt very welcomed, with a good meal and plenty of green tea. I tried the spicy scallop roll, albacore sushi, and sunomono salad – the fish was extremely fresh, as was the rice. A lovely spot in Brentwood for a casual dinner, slightly off the beaten path and clearly well-loved by locals!“

“Staff members are also so friendly and welcoming. The food is so delicious and made fresh as you order. Great job to the cooks. The Tai tea is delicious. The servers are always so friendly and we always see the older gentleman who might be the owner and is always so friendly. Great job everyone.“

“Nice chinese korean food that hits the spot. The tansuyuk was that crispy chewy texture that makes it unique 👌. Comes dippable which is the only appropriate way to eat it! Sauce could use more citruis and fruit. 8.7/10.
Jjampong was decent. I think it lacked a bit of depth for the flavor. Sad there was no shrimp or other seafood. Noodles were decent and had a decent bite. 7.8/10. Chicken wings were... sad. I dont know if there was a sauce shortage... but it should be more a few drops on there... 7.4/10. I would also like to recommend a no pork in the jjajangmyun option. I know its pre-made but it would be nice...“

“Best pad thai I have ever had! Customer service is amazing considering that it's one older gentleman running the place all alone. The pad see ew was so flavorful as well. The prices are phenomenal. Please support this business before the man retires and you lose your opportunity to enjoy the delicious cuisine 😊“

“OMG!! The food is so clean!! I highly recommend the Honey Walnut Shrimp and Green Beans. The Beef Chow Mein is Killer. They have Imported Japanese beer that is hard to get anywhere else. Saran was my server he was so personable with a great sense of humor. Great date spot!!! Plenty of open space with a large parking area.“

“Ordered Uber eats because I love the rustic spoon! I was a little disappointed with the amount of chicken in the dish that was delivered. Seem more like noodles and noodles with a sprinkling of carrots, cabbage and egg. The flavor was delicious! Maybe it was just the day. But I’m still looking for the cluck.😁“

“Great food and Jeff was amazing! He saw we were having a bad day and his kindness made it better.“

“Banh Mi branches at SM Davao and Lanang superb! Great customer service. Def my new favorite eats. Love their drinks too.“

“Lots of vegan options“

“This is omakase as it is meant to be. The freshest fish, prepared with care, and served in a minimalist but friendly and welcoming environment. This isn’t pretentious, place to be seen sushi, and it’s not for cool points, it’s just good people making a great meal. Given the quality of fish, it’s worth the price and then some.

They stayed open late for a 1-person party and I had just the best experience. Chef Shin is a real one, and Jun gives friendly prompt service. Best miso soup I’ve had, and the menu was well considered and perfectly executed.

It’s the kind of hole in the wall that will leave your date impressed with you, not because it’s fancy, but it’s a quintessentially Japanese omakase experience. Make a reservation, thank me later.“

“A new food place!!! Really liked the pad se ew and ofc the mango sticky rice. The whole shop is ran by a sweet older lady and tastes just like a home cooked meal my mom would make me. Highly recommend. Parking can be a little annoying so I’m jealous of the people who live in the building because I would come here weekly if I was living upstairs.“
