Noodles near Lake Balboa, CA

“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,“

“We loved the authentic noodles and warm hospitality. Our lovely server also recommended me to drink the Tenth degree ginjo instead of regular sake, which I liked a lot.“

“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!“

“The Studio City location will always be the best option for ramen. Parking has never been an issue and that is a rarity! Such a gem after concerts, a trip to Universal or any night out. Incredibly convenient location and always the friendliest staff!“

“Delicious Udon and other Japanese specialties“

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

“Oh my gosh, this ramen was absolutely amazing! Super five stars from me ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The service was great too! I’m usually not even a carb person, but I finished the whole bowl of noodles—yes, every bite. The broth was so flavorful, and the chashu pork just melted in my mouth. So satisfying!“

“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 🙋🏽‍♂️“

“What an amazing restaurant. My wife placed an order late at night. Typically I wont order if the restaurant is about to close but it was the highest rated restaurant open until 9pm. I arrived 10 min past closing and they still took care of us. The broth was amazing. I would highly recommend the filet mignon pho (rare). If you’re in the mood for an authentic mom and pop shop, stop by here!“

“In my book, this is the best Teriyaki chicken in the valley, maybe even Los Angeles. I have done dine in and take out, both situations yielding the same great food. The meals have great portions. But the teriyaki chicken and rice is the best. The chicken is never dry and always grilled with their terrific teriyaki sauce. It never tastes like it's been sitting on the grill for an hour, it's always fresh. Absolutely worth your time if you are a lover of good teriyaki.“

“Came here yesterday for the first time after visiting the Thai market across the street. We had a beef noodle soup and a Thai curry pizza, they were both really great! I think I'll like their marinara sauce pizza more because the onions were a looooot for me. But if you love onions, this is the place!!!The pizza dough and crust was just ? great. Soft, pillowy. Definitely recommended.The beef noodle soup was great too!!! The perfect touch of sweetness and spiciness. Super flavorful. And the folks here were super welcoming and nice! Would definitely recommend this joint!“

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

“I love eating here! The service is always so awesome. I love that it's tucked away, and every time I've brought someone to eat here they don't expect that the restaurant is here. As for the food, it's DELICIOUS! My son is picky, and even he couldn't deny how good the food is. The ramen is amazing, it's so good and the portions are hearty. I usually end up getting a ramen combo with a chashu bowl. Now, I get to eat there AND have delicious leftovers. My family have tried other ramen places around and we keep coming back to Futaba because it's number one in our eyes. The flavor is always on point. Definitely recommend.“

“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!“

“Ordered some take out yesterday and can't stop thinking about how good it was! I got their Pad Thai, it was standard and delicious. The service was quick and friendly! Walking into the restaurant to pick up my food showed they have a fun and authentic ambiance as well! I will be ordering from here again!“

“Very delicious. Recommend to go here! ;)“

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

“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.“

“The only reason I’m reducing a star is because this place doesn’t sell Thai food anymore. I found them on Google thinking that my kids can get Thai noodles and I can enjoy the sushi. They need to update their profile here as it’s deceiving.

Still ordered sushi and got it to go. It was fresh and delicious. The staff is nice and welcoming. The place is small but clean.

Sushi is recommended.“

“Fresh delicious food prepared to order.“

“This place was on my watchlist for a while and I decided to go on my birthday. It was absolutely incredible!! So much better than I ever thought it would be. I seriously mean this, if you like Thai food at all, cancel whatever your lunch or dinner plans are and come here immediately. Absolutely mind-blowing how incredible their food is!!!“

“This was our first time dining here, and we were genuinely impressed. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Everyone was very attentive throughout our visit and checked in multiple times to make sure we were enjoying our meal.

The food was outstanding — full of flavor, well-cooked, and served in generous portions. We ordered Pad See Ew, Khua Kai, Wonton Soup, Crispy Pork with Chinese Broccoli, and the Yellow Curry. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. It easily fed our family of four, and we still had plenty of leftovers to take home.

If you’re craving truly authentic Thai food, this spot is definitely worth a visit. There was plenty of street parking available, and they also have additional parking behind the restaurant, which is super convenient.

We’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes. Highly recommend!“

“Really love this place, been eating here for 5 years. Can say it is my favorite Thai restaurant in LA. Very authentic and delicious. The owner is a very nice guy, always provides the best food and beautiful prices. Hope more people know about this and visit. Also, the duck fried rice here is ssso amazing!“

“We had an out of town guest who loved pasta so brought her to Uovo for the food and ambiance. All the pasta dishes were excellent…and each with its own unique taste. Portions are “small” for US so definitely recommend at least one dish per person.“

“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.“

“Chowking is one of the best Filipino small restaurants here in California. Their halo halo is one of my favorite especially summer time. Beef noodles and pork asado siopao is also really good. Employees are very nice and friendly and the parking is good too.“

“I got the kuromayu and it was delicious. Tasted like getting a hug. My husband especially loved their chashu.

The popcorn shrimp was way less bready than other places’.

Our waiter AJ was friendly and attentive.

Will definitely be coming back and trying their other ramen options.“

“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!“

“My husband and I absolutely love this place! The service is excellent, and the food is consistently fresh and delicious. I have a severe gluten allergy, and they go above and beyond to make even noodle dishes gluten free. They are very safe and careful with cross contamination & it always tastes amazing!!!“

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

“If you are looking for good Thai food in the valley, look no further. An unassuming restaurant in Panorama City, this little restaurant delivers authentic Thai food at reasonable prices. I tried the Pad Ka Pao with a fried egg. I was impressed that they used real holy basil. It was so delicious and I felt like I had been transported to Thailand. The dish came with rice, and I also ordered a Thai Ice tea. The tea was also very flavorful. The staff were all very friendly and it was a good experience overall. I highly recommend this gem in the valley.“

“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.“

“Cute pho spot! Delicious food w great service! Their sweatshirt are dope too!“

“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.“

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

“Been wanting to try this place for a couple years now. Glad we finally did. Excellent food, much better than any Jinya Ramen. We had a bunch of appetizers. Indeed, their Takoyaki was amazing, Howard Yang! 😍 We had 2 seasonal specials, the Spicy Crispy Shrimp Roll and the cold Tan Tan ramen. Both were fantastic, albeit a bit too spicy for me. Service is super friendly. We will definitely be back. Want to try a bunch of other things, including the hot ramens.“

“Fortune House Chinese Cuisine delivers flavorful, well-prepared dishes with generous portions and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu offers a great mix of classic favorites and house specialties, all served hot and fresh. Friendly staff and quick service make it a reliable spot for satisfying, authentic Chinese comfort food.“

“Decent place for Pho. Service was ok. Food came out very fast, but the waitress didnt speak much English and didnt understand my questions regarding my dietary restrictions with dairy. Also she never came back to check on us to see if we needed anything. I had to wave down the manager to get a to go container.

I order the #1 pho. It was good, one of the meats I didn't care for the taste at all. The rest of the meats were really good to good. Ordered the shrimp and pork spring role. It had no flavor and didnt taste any pork at all. All I saw was shrimp. Order the taro smoothie and wanted Boba, but she said no more boba. The taro smoothing was very good.

Also the pricing I thought was very fair. Paying was a bit strange. You dont get the bill you just walk up to the cashier and hand her your credit card, you dont get handed a bill. Very weird and I highly recommend changing your paying system. It's 2025 servers should have a portable kiosk for us to tap our card or phone to pay and see our bill before paying of course.

If youre looking for a decent pho place in the area def give this place a try.“

“Great chinese restaurant, the noodles are very fresh and the meat tasty. The beef roll appetizer is a good size. Everyone liked the soup as well. My only wish would be a way to make the dish spicy without chili oil as it makes the dish even more oily.“

“Niko Niko Sushi in West Hollywood delivered an outstanding experience. The beef dumplings were perfectly seasoned with a tender bite, and the baked salmon roll was rich, flavorful, and melt in your mouth delicious. Fresh ingredients, great presentation, and friendly service made the meal even better. A must-visit spot for sushi lovers craving quality and taste!“

“What a wonderful experience. I knew this was gonna be awesome as soon as I walked in. We were quickly greeted and seated. They were playing the kpop demon hunters album....bonus points! Our server Gia gave us wonderful recommendations such as the sweet and sour crispy pork (life changing). We also had seafood noodles with shrimp, squid, and pork! Finally a small bowl of a spicy seafood soup. The flavors were insanely good and food came out quick and hot. Will forsure be back!“

“They have the best food, I love everything I tried and I can’t wait to come back again and try their other menu specialties.“

“a great, hearty food fit for a khan ;)“

“GREAT COSTUMER SERVICE ON TOP OF THE ABSOLUTE DELI FOOD - VERY PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT <3“

“The best noodle restaurant in The Valley, so taste, fresh, healthy and friendly service!����“

“I like this location over the other locations because there is always parking, friendly service, and very quick! While the ramen choices aren't traditional, they are very consistent and tastes good all the same! I think they have the best tofu in ramen, it is soft and silky without falling apart. Their garlic edamame is also very tasty!“

“The food was very delicious a little on the higher price side everything is à la cart. Price are the different meat, chicken, pork, but other than that it was fantastic.“

“This is my favorite Thai place. This gem is small but mighty. Their food is always so good, my favorites are the yellow curry with chicken, pad see ew with chicken and their beef salad. The lava cake with ice cream is the best ending. Portions are nicely sized. The lunch specials are perfect during the week. Delivery is always quick, and the drivers are so friendly. I also love the thai iced coffee. I highly recommend this restaurant for delicious Thai cuisine.“

“I went here six years ago and I am still dreaming of the pad woon sen noodles. Nothing I have eaten at any restaurant since has ever been quite so addictive. I don't know what they put in there, but I will shed a tear if this place closes, because though I now live on a different continent, I hope and pray to one day eat those noodles again.“
