Noodles near La Verne, CA

“Recently this place has become my hidden gem. I am absolutely obsessed with this little restaurant nestled in downtown La Verne. The food is absolutely fantastic, and the owners are criminally under charging for their generous portions and delicious food. However, I think im most impressed about how much the owners care for their customers. My sister and I went to get coffee from nambah, and we came back to wait for our food. The owner saw that we had our drinks and without even asking, included coffee biscuits/cookies in our bag to enjoy with our beverages. My sister and I were absolutely baffled at the generosity because this is the type of treatment you’d see in places abroad. But we felt totally welcomed, cared after, and most importantly viewed as people rather than customers. I have been going here once or twice a week for the past 2 months and they haven’t failed me once.“

“I just ordered take out and the food was super delicious! I’ve been looking for this kind of spicy and numbing noodles and just flavor for a long time as my students always bring me stuff like this but I can’t find it any Chinese places around. Highly recommended!!“

“Located in a small plaza next to another Chinese restaurant. I was in the plaza waiting for a to-go order from the Filipino restaurant near by when I saw this place. Small seating area inside and they had a good amount of people eating inside.

I decided to get their xiao long bao, popcorn chicken, and pan fried dumplings to try. They had 8 pieces of xiao long bao and they were pretty juicy inside. Their popcorn chicken was juicy inside with a crispy batter that was not too thick. It was seasoned nicely with a good portion size. My family liked the xiao long bao and the pan fried dumplings.

Closed Tuesdays.“

“I ordered their beancurd beef tripe and tomato crab paste rice noodles today. I have gotten dinner several times before and had tried their shrimp roll, hainan chicken rice. All of the dishes I tried are good. It’s pretty quiet usually when I visit this place. The most people I’ve seen are probably 3-4 tables of customers. Service is good every time and servers are very attentive and friendly.

Its more like a 4 for this place because its a place I would often come because of their food and service. I decided to give this place a 5 star instead because I want to support small businesses like these and because this place is more hidden / low key so unless you are in the area for a quick lunch, theres a less chance people would find this place.“

“Ordered the wonton noodle soup with medium spice level. The spice level was quite high, medium was plenty for me. Broth was flavorful, and the noodles and wontons were good. Portion size was good for the price. It definitely fulfilled my craving for a hot soup on a cold day.“

“You can see the boss's persistence and attentiveness everywhere: from the water cup to the button instructions for hot and cold water; from the cleanliness of the toilet to the placement of paper towels; the store is really clean, the materials and seats of the dining tables and chairs... …marvelous“

“I got Tteok-bokki to go at this establishment a few weeks ago. The inside is very nicely arranged and clean. The music playing was great.
The Tteok-bokki was very good. The rice cakes were chewy and spicy but not overbearingly spicy. They had just the right amount of flavor.
Overall I'd recommend this place.“

“The food is very delicious, the restaurant is very beautiful, there is a lot of parking. Importantly all of the chefs are beautiful“

“The food here is so delicious! The boba was chewy and the tea flavors are so so yummy (recommend the osmanthus oolong milk tea). Their chili wontons are also amazing and the fry on the popcorn chicken/sweet potato fries is perfect. I also love their dry noodle dishes!“

“This place has a really good and cute vibe; they make it feel homie. They give a good amount of crab on the inside. The rolls are cheap and you get a good size. I would definitely recommend if you are in the area. I judge places on their rainbow roll and this one is a top tier!“

“Great as always. We had a large group. Before everyone arrived, we wrote our order down and gave it to our server. When we sat down, they took our drink order and about ten minutes later they were serving our lunch. It is important to plan ahead as their kitchen gets crazy busy.“

“The food is amazing and even more importantly the staff was so incredibly helpful and friendly. I would go there just for the staff!“

“Came here to try your their Hainan chicken rice to compare with other restaurants. We ordered the combo for 4, came with 2 plates of already deboned chicken, 4 bowls of rice and soup stock, 1 plate of stirred fry Shanghai choi and 1 playe of smashed cucumber pickle and small tub of pried peanuts. The chicken was mediocre , the soup stock tastes like warm water which is really puzzling with all the chicken that they served. The 2 dipping sauce were not enough for the entire chciken plates. They charge extra if i you ask for more. Order through the QR code. Doesn’t work when we were there.“

“Very good Ramen. The noodles were my favorite part. Many places just don't get the texture right, but this place nailed it. The flavor of the broth was also good. Tasted exactly like the description. I am coming back to try the other flavors soon!“

“Came here after a round of golf. The owner was very nice and welcoming. She answered all my questions well. I got the garlic noodles and wings and added a drink and fries.

The garlic noodles and wings were great. I really enjoyed the flavor of both. The garlic noodles had plenty of garlic. I got it spicy and enjoyed the type of spice that it came with. The wings were well seasoned and very large. After frequenting Wingstop, their quality had drastically dropped in quality and size. I found it nice that the wings here were fantastic. I ordered the Soy Garlic and the Korean Spicy. The fries were also great. They had a great crunch to them and taste.

Overall, I enjoyed all of the food, but enjoyed the spicy garlic noodles even more so. I noticed that they also had a ramen setup with different korean ramens. The owner also recommended the dirty fries that comes with different types of fixings. I'll definitely come back to try those the next time.

You can park inside the parking structure and walk over conveniently.“

“A certified Diamond Bar classic. Everything is solid here, from the pho, to the rice plates and appetizers. The pricing is reasonable (expect to spend in the low 10's per person) and portions are good sized. They have two TV's in the case you wanted to catch a basketball game or football game as you eat. Would recommend if you're in the area, but would not be a place you drive out for.“

“You really can't make a bad choice with any dish you select here. We tried the House Special, and the spring rolls are absolutely essential. My son is a big fan of the Ban Mi with grilled pork, and we also enjoyed the charbroiled pork vermicelli with egg rolls. Every dish was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back for more. Plus, the best part is that they offer a discount when you pay in cash!“

“This has been my go-to comfort food spot whenever I miss home. The 香菇滷肉飯 (mushroom braised pork rice), 雞排飯 (baked bonless chicken rice), and 米糕 (mi kao) are all tasty—portions are just right. If you’re a fan of stinky tofu, it’s a must-try here too. Definitely worth visiting!“

“Oh my god. Best asian food I’ve ever had. We got the chicken chili dumplings and shrimp and pork chili dumplings (amazing), beef & broccoli (perfect amount of beef to broccoli ratio), orange chicken (perfectly fried pieces) & the hot & spicy fried rice, (best I’ve ever had). And the server Will was to the point and quick. This is our new go to take out/asian food spot.“

“This family-owned business usually never disappoints. We love the veggie pho because the broth is vegetable based, not chicken stock. The vegetables are always cooked to perfection and the portions are decent. On our last dining experience, we ordered the vegetable dumplings which came out very quickly. At first bite, I realized they were not vegetable but some kind of meat. While the place was busy, we couldn't find anyone to flag down fast enough before they delivered the correct order because the first one was chicken dumplings. Other than that, it's a good place for yummy food at good prices.“

“We discovered this local gem and decided to try it. They did not disappoint. Their noodle had a good chew/texture in the beef brisket noodle soup. Sesame noodles had good flavor and adequate amount of sauce. The XLB was flavorful and juicy and same with the pork pot sticker. Garlic bok choy also well good along with the popcorn chicken. We had a great experience and would recommend this place to anyone looking authentic noodles and dumpling in the area.“

“I love spicy food and Ginkgo has the best delicious, spicy Chinese Sichuan food in our area.
The Sichuan Boiled Fish was especially memorable as the fish was fresh and tender. Must try!
Stir Fried Scallion Beef and Mapo Tofu were my kids’ favorite dishes.
We have been here many times and love everything we have tried so far.
The staff was super friendly!
Overall, the delicious food, impeccable service, and cozy ambiance made for a wonderful dining experience here.

“BEST sushi ever! So fresh and noticeably better/fresher than other sushi. Loved the blue fin Mmm👅 Chill atmosphere. Perfect place, fast service too with plenty of options. They can make it anyway you want it 👍“

“Situated inside of 168 Chinese supermarkets with its own set of clean seats and tables. The stir fried thin rice noodles were good, as were the fried stuffed tofu. This is a good place to taste some basic Indonesian dishes besides nasi gorings.“

“You guys, the broth is amazing. It's so full of flavor. Everything we ordered was delicious The Bánh Mi was divine! The prices are better than other places. Go! You won't regret it. My face is full of joy from the meal! 😊 Yum!
Two sandwiches, two Pho and two drinks for $50. That's a great deal.“

“Have been coming here since the 80s, always have Excellent sushi 🤟👊👊“

“So sad I only came to know about this restaurant now! The food was great we ordered our favorite pad thai and pad se ew and they both tasted great and very flavourful. Their portions are generous too and the presentation was on point! Hospitality was amazing and the vibes are so calm and inviting! Will Definitely be back!“

“Ordered house noodle, Hainan chicken, fried fish cake, and lamb skewers. The pickled vegetables was as perfect as it comes and was provided generously and consumed in its entirety. Did not disappoint. First visit ever. Will be back to try everything on the menu. Yes, it is that good.“

“Clean, friendly & attentive staff, lots of options for ingredients, good classic bone soup, tomato soup, mushroom soup but my favorite is the stir-fried spicy wok (麻辣香鍋)🌶️🌶️🌶️, so much that I’ve been coming here weekly.“

“麵爽，云呑好味，丸子夠料“

“My son’s and I favorite place for Ramen.“

“Good food, casual, great location and convenient.“

“Excellent food and superb service. I give them a 10/10!!!“

“You're greeted as soon as you enter, which is nice. They cook your food after you order it so it's fresh, the spicy noodles aren't to spicy they're just spicy enough, they have a good variety of dishes the food is very tasty.. I recommend it“

“Pilaf and yogurt are good. The noodles mixed with cucumber and oily pork are delicious! The noodles are as good as those eaten locally in Xinjiang. The vegetables are made with good ingredients and fried just right. The slivers are chewy and chewy. The portion is a bit too small and you have to pay for extra noodles. The mutton kebabs were just so-so. The service attitude is very good, I will come again. Overall, it is a very good Xinjiang style restaurant?

“這餐廳很好吃風格很好“

“Great food esp their Nasi Bungkus“

“I have been to Monja since my high school time. It is a very convenient place to eat quick and nice food. They have the best noodles and the best fried salted chicken. Their taste is exactly Taiwan style. It is also a good place to hang out with classmates and friends there to chat and play games. I love this place!“

“I came here with my family for a new restaurant in the area wasn't disappointed. Service was fast and decently friendly, the restaurant was clean and had an interesting aesthetic. We got the century egg tofu appetizier and also the beef rolls both were pretty good though the beef rolls were too sweet in my opinion and kind of small. All of us liked our noodles, I got the location special super beef noodle or something that has beef rib, sliced beef shank, and beef belly. The meat was super good and the broth was flavorful though I'd recommend having level 2 or 3 spice level, I got daunted and got level 1 but it wasn't really spicy. Definitely coming back with my friends.

Vegetarian options: A couple vegetarian dishes are labeled, they looked tasty“

“Excellent,quick service, authentic Chinese cuisine, very clean and quiet place and very charming staff. It was like dining in my own home with excellent food. Their walnut shrimp to die for like Iv never had before except in Hong Kong. Kung pao chicken was another winner. Mongolian beef? Yummmmm. ���“

“Friday 8/9/24 Dinner at Golden Noodle & Grill in Rowland Heights. I’ve ordered #38 Roasted chicken on tomato rice. It is so crispy outside flavorful and tender inside; so delicious. This restaurant is a hidden gem which makes delicious Vietnamese foods with reasonable prices.

Long, service staff, was friendly and attentive to customers.

Van Huynh, restaurant owner & chef, has a great personality and cooks delicious Vietnamese foods. Dishes includes pho, broken rice, vermicelli, Chinese noodle soup, chow fun & mein, congee, Banh mi, Vietnamese deserts, milk shakes, and smoothies; all at a reasonable price. She took her time to greet me and even strike a pose for a photo which is posted on her Google map restaurant. Thank you Van!

The restaurant has nice decorations, clean, well lit, and well air conditioned on this warm day.

I recommend trying out this restaurant.

“I love this place. I'm so glad we found it. The broth in the pho is so flavorful. Had me go back twice in one weekend lol the man who i assume is the owner is such a sweetheart and always has such a welcoming smile when you walk in. Definitely recommend this place.“

“Excellent food. clean. nice environment.“

“The food and experience were all amazing!! It was our first time so we were completely unaware of the spectacle they put on at 9pm. Not sure if it’s an everyday thing but we loved it all. Everyone is so friendly and happy! Definitely recommend and will absolutely be coming back again with friends! Thank you! 🙏😊“

“I recently visited Imangu Gyodong Jjamppong and tried their Cold Jjamppong and Kkanpung Shrimp. Both dishes were absolutely delicious.

The Cold Jjamppong was super refreshing with just the right amount of spice—it had a cool, clean flavor that still packed a punch. The broth was nice and chilled, which made it really enjoyable, though I personally think it could’ve used just a touch more vinegar to really brighten it up.

The Kkanpung Shrimp was another highlight. The shrimp were perfectly cooked—plump, juicy, and had that satisfying “snap” when you bite into them. The sauce was sweet, tangy, and just a little spicy, which made it really addictive.

Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving something flavorful and satisfying!“

“I like the food it was good“

“So this place replaced the location for breadfish, and I heard of the name before. They have very similar menu items but a lot more variety. I got a chance to try their crispy chicken over rice. The chicken was really good wish it was just a little bit more crispy but since I had it ToGo it might be a factor of moisture. The tofu and the egg is really good here with marinated in Taiwanese spices. Overall the food is exactly what I expected and it more than enough for one person. Would definitely recommend trying!“
