Noodles near La Crescenta Montrose, CA

“The food was good, and I like the little hole-in-the-wall vibe. I wish the interior was a bit nicer and/or funky. I guess it just needs a bit more personality? Tasty, though!“

“Just LOVED my street noodles. They were spicy even though I ordered them mild. Fresh noodles are THE BEST!“

“First review - absolute gem of a restaurant.
Clean, luminous, good service but especially fresh and delicious food.
Pho is made with love, and you can taste its heartiness. Special Banh Mi is delicious, fresh baguette bread, freshly pickled vegetables and deliciously marinated meats.
Even the teas are a delight!

A true diamond in the rough. I recommend to anyone that enjoys good Vietnamese food. Cheers“

“The green beans and kung pao chicken were the favorites. The xiao long bao dough was a little thick for our liking and didn’t hold together well so we didn’t get much of the broth sadly. Great rice noodles as well! Would come back just for the green beans, kung pao chicken, and rice noodles. Quick service and very reasonably priced for the amount we got!“

“We came here for dinner after a huge multi-day event at the Pasadena convention center so it was packed and there was about a half hour wait. Despite how busy it was, the staff was still super friendly, on top of orders and very attentive, which was impressive.

My favorite thing on the menu was the Beef Roll Pancake. It definitely left me wanting more and was so good, I ordered one for takeaway! The flavors of the noodle dishes we had were just okay. Spicy chicken wontons were tasty. I would come back for the beef roll pancake for sure. Overall good spot in Pasadena.“

“This place has a really cute vibe—definitely more of a bar with small eats than a full-on restaurant. It’s cozy, with a laid-back atmosphere, making it great for a casual hangout or grabbing a quick bite with friends.

The food is decent, but I wouldn’t necessarily call it authentic. It’s tasty, don’t get me wrong, but it feels more like a fusion or modern take on some classic dishes rather than the real deal. Still, it’s enjoyable, especially if you’re just looking for something easy and flavorful to snack on with a drink.

The vibe makes up for any little imperfections in the food, and if you're in the area for something light and fun, this place is definitely worth checking out. Just don’t expect the authenticity you might find at a traditional restaurant.“

“A good place for rice noodles, and I really loved their broth! My go to is their sliced beef rice noodles, portions were good too. The restaurant is also very clean. Not to mention, when you order takeout, they pack everything so nicely! Service was fast too!

Note: there is a small parking lot right next to the restaurant although all seem to be compact sized, street parking is plenty too if you have a larger car. And, they also do happy hour from 2-6pm for snacks and drinks.“

“Very delicious! My daughter fell in love with Katsu Sando ❤“

“The ambiance of this place was incredible. The chef who took our order actually took the time to fully explain each of the ramen choices that are on the menu. While waiting for our ramen, we got to see him apply the aromatics to each bowl of ramen. The presentation was incredible, and then we took a bite. I can honestly say that after taking my first bite that I sat back in my chair because I was so blown away at what I had just tasted. Incredible doesn't even come close to what my taste buds experienced. 🤯 If you're looking for amazing ramen, then Redwhite Boneless Ramen on Ventura Blvd is your spot.“

“Totally worth the 70 minute drive. Delicious food and great Taiwanese hospitality. Friendly, attentive staff and wonderful atmosphere. Minced Pork (Lu-Rou) Rice, fully loaded delicious stewed pork with egg. Meats are juicy and tender, kinda on the sweet side. Clamshell bun (Gua Bao) comes with tender thick cut pork, a bit on the salty side, but very well cooked. Fatty but not greasy. Thousand layer pancake with egg and basil was crispy and flaky. The basil flavor is a wonderful addition. Scallion bread sandwich was what we expected. Same tender thick cut pork, very happy to eat this. Next time I will probably get the beef, too much pork belly today Wonton soup is very classic, if you like shrimp wontons, you have to try this. We ended the meal with Hakka mochi and Oolong tea, the mochi tasted just like the ones in Taiwan. The tea was fragrant and is just the perfect compliment to the mochi. Overall an amazing meal with warm and friendly people, highly recommend!“

“best Thai food I've ever had and I have lived in Thailand“

“Good food,good price, will always go to this location over the one on Valley Blvd in Alhambra👍🏼“

“the bahn mi sandwiches are great here!“

“Amazing smoothies and bowls! Yummmmy! Cute shop with food and gift items as well!“

“Staff friendly and awesome Thai foods“

“The best Thai food so far for me name "Hoy Ka Thai Noodle".
The garlic brocolli beef, basil pork, pad thai, spring roll, ginger shrimp,  even the thai tea all the best!!! Dont miss the sticky rice and mango as the dessert!!
Super duper yummy!!

You need to try it!!“

“อาหารอร่อย บริการดีมากๆครับ 😇🙏🏻“

“Came here on the weekend with a party of 6 since we were closeby in Pasadena and it was a short drive down to Alhambra. Went to a Chicken place the night before so everyone agreed on Japanese food. Was seated quickly and decided on the popular cream curry udon that was featured in social media.

Food came out quickly, though I was kind of dissapointed with the dish. It was rather bland. Everyone however enjoyed their dish so maybe I should have ordered something different, like their gyukatsu since thats what their name implies🤔 Service was good, maybe if in the area again Ill give this place another chance. 4 stars🤙“

“The food and service is a 10! we will be back when in town. I'd come from Montana just to eat here it's that good“

“I was looking for a quick lunch while I was out walking my dogs. I was craving Thai food and stumbled upon this place with a few small tables outside. The staff were really friendly and even brought water out for the pets. The menu is extensive and I appreciated the photos of each dish because it helped me order new items I haven’t tried. The food came out quickly and was really good. I recommend!

“Love their selections of foods not too much not less just right and not complicated. My tummy is full and happy soul 😊“

“Great good, Great service“

“The food is excellent but they have an 18% dine in fee on top of their already expensive menu. So yes, a bowl of pho is 30 dollars which is insane since there’s not a ton of service and the restaurant looks a bit run down / not aesthetically good. I asked him to remove the mandatory service charge and he said if he did, he would have to pay it out of his own pocket which is wild. Idk it’s kinda strange, but the soup was really delicious.“

“2nd ⏰️ - just as delicious. Our new Go To!“

“I've been eating here for over 30 years and I love it every time. The people, the food and the feeling of home keep me coming back. :)“

“Perfect small restaurant with delicious Thai food, easy parking nearby, great prices & portions! Highly recommend the Tom Kah, Red Curry, and Thai tea. Inside you’ll find walls of signed celeb photos, pics of their food options, and decor.

Food came out in no time, hot, and portions were 💯🙌🏼 - check out the 0.5 pic! I’m vegetarian so it is amazing that the tofu and vegetable options were plentiful!

Service was incredible: friendly, efficient, and locally owned.

Will certainly be returning and recommending it as a regular spot for my friends.“

“Boat noodle & minced garlic 🐔 over rice were exceptionally tasty. If you are looking for authentic Thai food this is the place to come go. It’s a small parking lot with few parking but there are plenty of street parking. Come one come all and bring your empty tummy to be filled here.“

“ABSOLUTELY the BEST ramen I have ever had!!! The service is amazing, the fried pumpkin... off the hook!!! Spring rolls, yaaasssss!! I had the King Ramen...whoaaaaa! Daaaaammnnn!! You will NOT be disappointed. Thanks to the owners for the great experience.“

“Food is fantastic here, parking is easy, service is good. The only issue is things sell out here, FAST. Past 6pm you better ask if they still have the menu items you want before going in. heck a lot of times they'd be out of rice of all things.“

“They have both inside and outside seating areas. Service is great.“

“Quickly becoming my favorite sushi spot. I get the same thing everytime (Rainbow Roll, Aloha Roll) and it somehow gets better each time! The crispy rice is delish too. Such kind ppl and a cute lil patio

Dietary restrictions: very accommodating to gluten free. Even have Tamari sauce“

“I was recommended to come here by a friend and each time I come, their service has consistently been good. The restaurant is small, so i usually go early to avoid the line. Their food portion is a bit smaller but the taste has consistently been good. I always get their salad.“

“This place is a hole in the wall with amazing taste! We drove over from Eagle Rock and it was quick and easy. They have a parking lot so parking is available. Taste felt authentic and yummy 😋. Watch out for kick in soup 🔥!
Check them out!“

“A well-known Chinese restaurant with a good size menu. They also have a small Dim Sum selection. The restaurant is clean, the service is good and plenty of off-street parking. The food is well prepared and tasty. We had the pork fried rice and the orange chicken.

Parking: Approximately 20 spots of free off-street parking. Pull into the driveway and park behind the restaurant and you can enter the restaurant from the back door or the front door.“

“This is our favorite pho place of all time. Whenever we crave pho and veggie eggrolls, we come here. They never let us down and it’s super easy to find parking. This place can get packed but just know that the hype is real.

Vegetarian options: There are plenty of options

Dietary restrictions: They have vegetarian options as well

Parking: There’s free parking and you’ll never have trouble finding it

Kid-friendliness: Kids are always welcome

Wheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair accessibility“

“I keep coming back for the veggies. The green beans and the seaweed with tofu is the best. Their knife-cut noodles with mushrooms have this fantastic smoky flavor—though the portion is a little small. Thankfully, you can swap in brown rice if you prefer.
The Salt & Pepper Tofu is a standout—crispy on the outside without being overly breaded—and the Spicy Pork Dumplings are just the right level of heat.

Pro tip: Parking is easier across the street if you’re cool with a short walk.

Downside: They can be a little understaffed at times“

“The food was perfect and the service was excellent! We don’t live close by. We were just visiting the San Gabriel Mission. However, whenever we go back to the area, we will definitely come back!“

“This place is amazing! You can't go wrong with anything you get. All dishes are freshly made. I come here at least once or twice every other week for their great lunch specials. I love their Green Curry! However, their Red Curry and Yellow Curry are also very tasty! Love everything I've tried here. I finally tried their Crying Tiger and it was worth it. The Ribeye was flavorful and tender. The owner is kind and courteous every time I visit. Stop thinking about it and come enjoy some delicious Thai food.“

“OMG this place is AMAZING! The food was the best I've had in a long time. I came in without much of an appetite, so I was pretty shocked at how much I was loving the food. It was a Saturday night and the place was almost empty. Definitely a hidden gem. Super highly recommend!!“

“Great food, location and service“

“Formosa Cafe has really come back in a strong way. Food was excellent and we all especially enjoyed the whole Bronzino. Walnut shrimp is always great we loved the fried rice. We tend to over order because we enjoy the leftovers so much. Service was very nice but it always feels like they're a LITTLE understaffed when the place gets really busy.“

“really tasty! My mother and I both think her chicken rack is super delicious and the potato starch is also particularly delicious! The store manager is also very nice and enthusiastic ❤️ This is my first time to eat such delicious chicken rack! Everyone must go and eat“

“THE BEST PHO 🍜 ever. I travel the country and I’m a good snob. This is home cooking, unique…and absolutely delicious. Please treat yourself and go!“

“Incredible food, savory broth.“

“真的很满意 我可以反复去吃十次以上的餐馆 只是 营业时间太短了 ，希望店家能加长营业时间“

“Food was good ..prices were very reasonable. This was the Hollywood Location.“

“Muy buena comida y buena atención!💯“

“It tastes great!
However, overall it is sweet and salty.

Orange chicken tastes like sweet fried chicken and comes with rice. (Long, non-sticky rice from Southeast Asia)

Dan Dan noodles' stir-fried ground meat is fragrant with spice and salty. The noodles are sweet. We recommend eating the two together.

Because the noodles are seasoned well, it is recommended to eat chicken as an addition.“

“Went to the area as a tourist from Canada and decided to check this place out. Very friendly family ran restaurant with one of the best Chinese food i’ve ever had in the LA area. Extremely clean and friendly staff with generous portions. Would definitely come back when i’m in the LA area for a visit.“
