Noodles near Huntington Beach, CA

“I was here on a rainy day last week and can say how this lab curated the most nourishing pho broth I’ve ever tasted! Ever in the Huntington Beach area? Give it a try! Lifted my mood and gave my body back some life. The banh mi was also great - fresh crunchy bread with a soft inside filled with freshly cooked yummies! Enjoy 👩🏻‍🍳“

“Cool decor! Built by owner! Must visit! Have your espresso here!“

“Place doesn’t look like much but the food is amazing.They DO NOT have any vegetarian or vegan pho for which I considered to give 4 stars but the rice bowl with crispy tofu was really good.My son confirmed that beef pho is also great.Price was also very reasonable.“

“Food is excellent! Customer service is outstanding!“

“Must stop by and visit now! They’re currently offering up to 50% off almost their entire menu! Limited time only!

Parking: This is Huntington Beach .. parking can be difficult. We got lucky with a spot right in front of the restaurant. It was metered parking with the first 2 hours being free. I noticed there was also other street metered parking across the way.

Ambiance/Environment: Very warm and welcoming. It’s very spacious with plenty of indoor seating and limited outdoor seating. Great for large groups.

Service: Shout out to our server Abril! She was amazing! She was very knowledgeable about the menu, refilled our waters when needed, and checked on us while eating.

Food & Drinks:

1) Burning Titan - This was recommended to us since this was their “must try” entrees. I had the choice of substituting the meat and noodles, but I decided to leave everything as is. This only came in one size, and I’d consider it a large bowl. They were very generous with the brisket beef and amount of ramen. The soup was definitely spicy and flavorful.

2) Kung Pao Chicken - My partner wanted a rice dish. I tried his dish, and this is definitely better than Panda Express! It wasn’t too spicy though, nor was it salty. There wasn’t as many peanuts as we thought. There was a good amount of chicken to rice ratio.

3) Crispy Wonton - I like their twist on the wontons because not only did it have cream cheese, but it also had avocado! The wonton was crispppyyy with a beautiful brown color. Though, I wish it had more filling of cream cheese and avocado. Don’t forget to dip it in the sweet sauce!

4) Thai Tea with boba - This wasn’t too sweet. The boba was decently chewy. The tea had a weird aftertaste, so I think they could work on this item.

5) Vietnamese Ice Coffee - I’m a crackhead for caffeine, so of course I ordered a Viet coffee in the evening. You know it’s concentrated when they don’t fill the cup up all the way. This is what I call a Viet coffee!

Pricing: I’d say it’s definitely worth its price. We visited while they were still offering their deals. Can’t deny a bowl of pho starting at $9.99. Especially in this inflation, that’s a steal.“

“This is my 2nd time visiting Meiji. The food was so good and I totally forgot to take some pictures and write the review on my 1st visit. Today I took some pictures and wrote this review. This place has best udon in town. I ordered 4 most popular dishes, beef Shabu Shabu Udon, Shrimp Tempura Udon, Fried Squid Legs, and Fried Chicken. They are all very tasty. Their udon noodles are handmade and the soup broth is so delicious. The restaurant has ambience of Japanese tastes of hometown. This restaurant is not very big but they do offer online waiting list. I would recommend joining their waiting list before you visit the restaurant. Definitely will come back again!“

“Really enjoyed the noodles and dumplings here. The right balance of noodle to meat to broth. All distinct flavorful. Not mushy at all.
The portions were good. Not too little, not too much that food was wasted.
We got medium spice for everything and it was fine. I saw a woman next to me sweating while eating— it made me very curious about the jump to “extra” spicy.
It’s also for expert level chopstick-age. Between the red sauces, the oil, the slipperiness of the dumplings, and the noodles, the danger of spraying everywhere, or worse yet, dropping something back into the sauce is very real. I’m pretty good but my shirt looked like a scene from Dexter. Luckily it was dark grey, but still.
You’ve. Been. Warned.
Would recommend strongly.“

“Hidden Gems in Santa Ana!! Their noodles was super flavorful and very, very tender. And was surprised me wa their skewers, it’s not like any other skewers at the other places. The taste was very refreshing, but also flavorful. The whole restaurant was very clean and the staff was very very nice. Overall a great experience. Come to try if you are near the area.“

“Great food, helpful staff, and a pleasant interior make this one of my favorite places in the city. I came here to celebrate my birthday today, brought friends from Garden Grove who were visiting, and went on a date that ended up being the last one. I was highly suggested it, and now I am telling people about it!“

“Great food. I'll definitely be back!“

“Good place for lunch and dinner“

“Cash only, light lines during dinner rush moves but moves very fast for groups of four and less anything more and it takes a little bit longer. All of this doesn't seem all that appealing but this place is MICHELIN RATED it's had Zagat awards almost every year since 1995, their broth is amazing everyone I've introduced this place to keeps coming back.

Parking: Strip mall adjacent, the liquor store will tow so talk to them first.“

“Awesome“

“James is so courteous and went out of his way to provide excellent service to my boyfriend and I on our date night. The dining area is clean and comfortable. Most notably, the broth is prepared for over 10 hours, which makes the pho exceptionally flavorful. This is our new favorite neighborhood spot!“

“Best Raman in United States hands down!!! Make sure u add Black garlic and hot spicy sauce“

“WE come to Koco at least 1 time every 2 weeks! Fresh Sushi & delicious rolls! Tell the owners, Sean & Beth sent you!!! 🫂✌️🙏

*So happy to have this luvly spot in our French Park neighborhood! Great food, fresh & awesome service! ❤️🙏🍀💥👌PLS SUPPORT! 🙏🤘👍“

“Nice addition to the mall! ?

Pricing and menu options were exactly the same which is great. The food tasted similar, but the portion was quite small compared to what I remembered. Our order came out quickly, though.

* Tái Chín Gân: 8/10 - good but more broth than noodles

Located in the depths of Bloomingdale’s, they offer a nice dining area with other restaurants to choose from. This location has a unique counter seating area that would be perfect for solo diners. The workers were very efficient, but not super friendly. The place is very convenient for when you’ve been shopping all day and craving some pho.

One of the only restaurants at South Coast Plaza where you don’t have to wait for a table!

Parking: Located in South Coast Plaza“

“It was yummy and fast. Everything was fresh and clean“

“Food itself was excellent with their tasty broth and tender meats. The udon noodles were amazing all around. The soup dumplings are a must try also with the pork inside being so savory. The service itself was very quick and using a self ordering kiosk is very easy and honestly convenient. Atmosphere wise the whole place is small so it creates a cozy vibe while you chow down on some awesome food. 10/10 will be coming back after our next disneyland trip.“

“My Vietnamese coworker took me here recently. Had the Crab and Shrimp Udon (#2) - OMG it was AMAZING. Very tasty, packed with seafood, and broth was awesome. He got the Pork and Beef bowl (#1) and said really good too. Would return.“

“Came during on Tuesday Lunch, 1pm.No wait, Seated Immediately!Pleasant atmosphere ?Server was attentive, courteous.Ordered the following:SweetSpicy Chicken KaraAge - Sweet!

Kid-friendliness: Kids Meal!“

“Nice little place. I was looking for something different from the normal ramen or pho for dinner. I have had jjambbong at a couple of other places and they were good. This place was also good. I ordered the seafood with a rib soup dish and some dumplings. They did not disappoint. The dumplings were chicken with veggies. I put a couple in my soup and that really upped the flavor. The soup can be spicy to many and being an Asian dish it could start you on fire if not careful. I opted to try it mild and it still had some spice. It was a perfect for a cold night. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“Food was so delicious recommended for who hasn’t tried it , and great service as well my first time. I would come back, but I’m too far. I’m from San Antonio Texas. Thumbs up 👍 👍“

“This is my new favorite spot for chicken katsu - it's so juicy and flavorful, and the bento box is so well put-together. While the main highlight is the katsu, every other part of the bento box is great, from the takoyaki to the gyoza, and those little animal waffles, so cute and so tasty! The owners are very friendly as well. Eating here always brings a smile to my face, I've only been twice so far, but I will absolutely be coming back again soon!“

“Excellent Food! Nice staff.“

“I came early around 5:15pm for a weekend dinner. There is more parking than i expected behind the building. The waiters were attentive in refilling my water and checked in to see if i was doing ok. Otherwise, the food (vegan mazemen) was filling and they provide some rice to top off with the sauce. I would definitely come here again.“

“Fish was relatively fresh and big portions, of good quality. Some of the pieces were blowtorched, which is a nice touch. The quality of the rice in the sushi is also good (and very important but no one ever talks about it). Friendly service and spacious venue. I was gonna say it was a bit pricey, but to be fair everything is pricey nowadays so it's probably avg priced. Just budget accordingly.“

“Service was top notch -extremely nice and informative on menu. Food was ridiculous good I recommend the grapefruit salad with chicken“

“Amazing customer service and the food a solid 10/10 ??✨ Owners are really lovely and friendly ? I went with my brother and we had a great experience and my brother it was his first time trying it. And he said he loved it and will be coming back with his friends ?“

“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.“

“This place is added to my go to ramen restaurants. I ordered spicy miso, and it was a bit salty for me but still very delicious! I forgot what my family ordered, but I think 1 of them ordered the Tonkotsu, though I still think spicy miso was the best option. The line and waiting are not that bad. The only problem is if you go as a group of 4+ people during busy hours like dinner time, it might be a bit difficult to find a parking and seating spot. The staff is really nice and friendly.
Overall, would recommend trying this place if you like ramen!“

“The jasmine milk tea here is truly wonderful! The natural and pleasant aroma of jasmine combined with the sweetness of milk creates an interesting experience for the taste buds. Each sip of the tea makes me feel light and happy!“

“Bueno“

“Food is great! I love eating here“

“I believe I’ve found the best jjampong in town. The photo is the other half portion I’m trying to finish but couldn’t. For $16 this could easily feed 2 ppl, very generous potion and the broth is super flavorful.
Recommend and would come back again to try other items!“

“This is my third time visit them and they always welcome me with the biggest smile and soft voices. The food tasted absolutely delicious with a big portion and packed in good quality Togo container. The ambiance is very clean, each table was set up far away so it looks so comfortable. The price is very reasonable too. I love when they refill my free drink without me asking for it.“

“This is the second time we're here at Loi's Kitchen. I love their food. I didn't leave a review last time because we were busy. We ordered Cantho style fermented fish vermicelli, House special noodle and Chicken wings. They all are delicious ?. On top of that, their customer service is wonderful. They are very attentive. I will definitely come back. You should give it a try. I barely leave a review but I have to this time. Amazing place!“

“Freshly made udon at a good price! I just wish the noodles were more Al dente. The one I had was too soft. The fish miso soup, however, was great. The bk sauce could be a bit less sweet but I get that it is that way since it’s Hawaiian. Good choice of tempura items. Gonna try the curry and other items another time.“

“Nice spot located in this cool food court
Fast service
Decent prices considering inflation in 2024
I got the khao soi dish - a famous thai entree
Chicken was a bit squishy - but still delicious
Soup was rich and creamy
4/5 total overall rating“

“I will say.... for simple, straight to the point banh khot.... this place was good. The batter was good, and I liked the ratio of batter to topping. It was not too thick of a banh part. BUT - I will say I've had better banh khots that are a bit heartier and Maybe made with more attention, meaning ones that have the other Toppings on it. I was so surprised when the Shrimp one came out and it was basically just batter and shrimp. So basic. It was good!!! But basic is all. And it matched what we paid for it. So I'm not complaining. I'm just saying that be aware that it's that type of banh khot and not like others in more upscale restaurants. It's 5 stars based on the style of banh khot this place is known for. Service was ok. They were busy. There was a wait. I'd say it matched the ambiance and price point.“

“Great services and delicious food!“

“New owner for about 1 year made major improvements for food and services in this small place with about 12 tables. It's nice, clean, bright, pleasant, smelling neutral.

We got in about noon a Sunday. Most tables were already taken. Half hour later about 10 people were waiting outside for seats. So they did something right and the place is popular.

We ordered a Bun Bo Hue Special with extra rare beef $14.95 and a Banh Canh Tom Cua central taste, $14.95, 2 hot teas $1 each.

BBH's broth is a rich, tasty bone stock, nice, clear with the tastiness of fermented shrimp paste without the odor, not too sugar sweet and not overspiced. There was barely a hint of lemon grass. a tub of satay is at the table to customize spiciness to taste. So far this is the most balanced and best BBH's broth I found in So Cal and No Cal.

There was generous meats, extra rare beef, shank, a few small bites of tendon, 2 cubes of blood curl, a large slice of pork butt, a chunk of pork ball and a chunk of short rib. No pork trotter was served, which is my preference. The meats were cooked to my preferred chewiness. I would skip the rare beef and short rib in next orders. I finished the soup and wish the bowl was bigger.

This is by far the closest to the best home-made BBH I had in central Vietnam. In comparison, for the same price, Ngu Binh serves a larger bowl by about 50% with more protein and tastier broth, but the broth is greasy and way over spiced.

Banh Canh Tom Cua has clear crab broth, fresh and tasty but a little too sweet for my taste.

The wait staff is courteous and efficient. They gave us a small cup of soy bean dessert, tasted good.

I wish the owner would add an option for a supersized bowl 50% larger. This place would be my second choice for BBH after Ngu Binh.“

“The Black Garlic Ramen & the potstickers“

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

“Great food our go to spot for great food and excellent customer service. Never fails“

“Delicioso 🤤, el restaurante favorito de toda la familia.“

“This ramen chain maintains its quality standards throughout their various branches. I’ve been to some of their other locations and haven’t ever been disappointed. They have 3 vegan ramen options along with some vegan appetizers. I did the Impossible Rice Bowl and the Impossible Gyoza. Both were very delicious. The restaurant is situated in a nice outdoor shopping mall with adequate indoor and outdoor seating. Can’t say there’s anything wrong with this restaurant.“

“Excellent food and very friendly service. One of our favorite Vietnamese restaurants now ! Definitely recommend 😊“
