Noodles near Lawndale, CA

“I’ve had pho in about 6 different states. This was the best I’ve ever had! Bravo! You guys deserve it! Thanks for letting us visit! 🍲“

“My bf and I stopped by after a long flight and seeing good reviews. The spring rolls were so good to me. The pho broth was so soothing and delicious. My bf got the broken rice with sliced pork and he said it was good. The ube coffee looked too yummy to drink, and it was also yummy!“

“Food is superb, as is there fresh limeade.“

“Best little place in town!!! So sad to see them closing, so happy I got one last fantastic meal!!!“

“Good and delicious food…happy hour is great!“

“They have a sign in front that advertises $7 chow mein, which totally got my friend. It was definitely a heaping portion still of noodles with a good Thai chili kick. I split it into two meals still (although I probably don’t eat a lot compared to a lot of people). A bit greasy and I wish there was more veg. It was savory but not overly salty.

I felt like it was missing a little bit of nuance in its sweetness but I can’t pin what was missing. There was definitely still MSG because I was thirsty after, so that’s not what it was missing.

The free bone broth is really refreshing (reminds me of sullungtang) and a good way to either start or end your meal.“

“Excellent Japanese food. I got takeout: the Gindara Saikyoyaki Bento. It was delightful. Excellent service.

I'm going to have to come back because it's a lovely spot, and I want to actually sit and enjoy in the establishment next time.

Highly recommend. And El Segundo is a very pleasant, calm downtown to visit if you're waiting around for a flight, like I was. It can be fun to go up to Venice where all the excitement is, but I'm grateful that I had a nice calm afternoon in El Segundo this time. And my fantastic supper here was part of it.“

“Venice Noodles is a little Chinse/Thai place that has some of the best food in town. It is not huge, but it is always clean and fun. We usually have it delivered. They are fast or we do pick up. They will even deliver to your hotel.

The prices are reasonable and if there is anything wrong with your delivery order they will make it right, straight away and be very nice about it. Just once, and we order a lot, there was an issue with raisins in the rice. We ordered it without. Believe it or not my dog loves their rice, no one else', just Venice Noodles so we get her an order. Raisins can and will kill a dog. The order had raisins and they fixed it all up so fast. They were so nice about it. Now we order from there a lot, so often that I don't recall how many times and this is the only time we had an issue. Ever other order we place is perfect, hot and delicious.

They have some of the best noodle dishes. Any will be great for you. We also love their dumplings and their Venice Chicken Slice. You will not find this elsewhere. It is marinated chicken fried in a tortilla, slices and served with a great sauce. Their Thai Pork jerky is a must try. It is deep fried pork strips with the best chili on it and again, a great sauce.

Whatever you get you will love.“

“This is an excellent place to get restaurant quality katsu at a very reasonable price. I had the tonkatsu combo. It came with soup, cabbage salad, steamed rich, and a delicious katsu sauce. The cutlet was perfectly cooked, and the breading was light and crispy, as it should be.“

“I definitely recommend the chocolate xiao long bao“

“Stopped in for dinner and got the drunken noodle, papaya salad, and khao soi. All were delicious. Thai spicy level wasn't too bad, but I might have gotten the american thai spicy version. Everything was delicious a d service was great.“

“We stopped for dinner and glad we did. The service was great only had a couple people at tables. We ordered massamun curry, yellow curry, green curry, pad see-ew, spring rolls, fried wontons, and tom-kha. It was all wonderful and seasoned perfectly. Would definitely come back again. When you spend $100 or more you get a free item (shirt, fanny pack, wallet).“

“A random tiktok video brought me to this place, and boy, am I glad it did! I had the Rare Steak and Crunch Brisket Pho, and it was the best I've ever had. The size of the bowl is absolutely perfect. I left feeling full and very satisfied. The service was fast for a relatively full lunchtime. I am definitely coming back!“

“i absolutely love this place. The owners are super sweet and the food is DDDEEELLISSHH!“

“Wow! Finally a super authentic and friendly Italian place! Super tasty and the outdoor Venice atmosphere is super fun! You can build your own pasta! I enjoyed the fettuccine Alfredo and added truffle sauce and sausage! Customer service is high quality also!“

“My brother and I went to Pho Hoan Pasteur with high expectations as they had high ratings on Yelp.
He ordered the regular sized steak and tendon pho. He found one piece of tendon in the entire bowl, so he was disappointed. The taste of the pho broth was just OK... not the best, nor the worst he's ever had.
I had the grilled shrimp bun and it came with two egg rolls. I was disappointed as rice noodles were all broken. It felt as though the bowl was filled with the rice noodle scraps at the bottom of the bag. The fish sauce wasn't remarkable either. I added lime juice and samba.
We tried it. We probably won't return.“

“Small ramen place among several Japanese businesses in Torrance.
We were a family of 4. 2 kids and us parents all of us are vegan.
We ordered vegan gyoza and the 2 vegan ramen they had. The food is great even if the vegan options were limited.
The service felt rushed and the lady who attended us was curt/rude. We had to ask for bowls, cutlery, napkins and everything else.
The other lady was nicer.“

“Best Vietnamese restaurant in Torrance“

“We decided to try out SOBAR as it was close by to our stay while in LA
It was a great chance as the food was great. Everything was excellent to include our communication with other patrons
The food was awesome and we plan to go there again before we leave LA“

“We landed in LA and were starving! Searched for Thai food nearby and came across this gem. Amazing selection of dishes, very authentic, and friendly service! Portions were generous and we enjoyed all of the dishes we ordered! My kids loved the pad see ew noodles. 10/10 would recommend 👌🏽“

“Very good and genuine broths. Second best ramen in Alhambra. Kosuke on Main is my favorite.“

“First time.coming down to this one. Usually hit up the one in Little Japantown.

The soup here tastes just as good!
Only gripe... Not nearly as many of the tempura options or musibis like Sawtelle. But they do have the main dishes here and it was fast on a Friday night to order.

This place is bus your own dishes after.“

“We love this place. They have many different choices of ramen. The servings are Huge !! I would recommend this place to Everyone.“

“Delicious home made pasta ! Friendly staff !“

“Great customer service and delicious and flavorful food“

“One of the best Jajangmyeon I've ever had!Jajangmyeon is a Korean-Chinese dish of thick noodles covered in a rich, fermented black bean sauce and served with vegetables and pork. The savory, salty, and slightly sweet dish is a cultural icon in Korea, often associated with childhood memories and special occasions. The noodles are made fresh which makes it extra special. The Chicken in Spicy Garlic sauce is a perfect accompaniment with it's tangy crunchy chewy spicy taste! This is the type of place that
will be your go to for Korean Chinese dishes! Nothing fancy on inside but super clean and super friendly staff!“

“蕎麦、日本食　最高 !“

“Really good food and fast service“

“Very good food and great customer service“

“Good atmosphere with great lightning. Such a nice chill place to eat Chinese food near USC!
Ordered the shrimp fried noodle, which was good in flavor— downside is that the dish was overpriced and a bit underwhelming appearance-wise. Also ordered the QuaiLin noodle, which was spicy at the right level— delicious!“

“Indoor👍🏼👍🏼we opted for it but was surprised when they ushered us to the back portion of the restaurant. It makes you feel like you really are in an authentic Japanese Izakaya restaurant.“

“I have driven by this place several times and it doesn’t look like much on the outside but I had a good feeling about it.
As soon as, we walked in the Aroma of the kitchen was Amazing!! Plenty of “pick up orders” on the countertop! Menu had lots of options. Pho and spring rolls +peanut sauce and flavors did not fail super yummy!
Customers were eating happily just like us. Service was great and attentive. Returning soon !“

“Service was excellent very friendly and beautiful view. Food was awesome.“

“Warning, this place is addicting. :) That’s all i can say. God Fire for the win.“

“Very affordable and generous portions. I really enjoyed the dumplings and the Pad Thai. The rice felt a bit plain, and they don’t serve much tofu—it’s actually very little. I’d say one dish is enough for two people. Updated from previous review on 2025-08-12“

“I loved the vegan broth options! Glad we could find a place that has more vegan friendly broth and toppings! Our server Jeraldine was awesome and she took care of our complicated order due to our food allergies! We will be back again!“

“I’ve had kimbap before, but I bought the prepackaged ones from grocery stores. I thought they were okay. Then I watched Kpop Demon Hunters and saw Rumi sniffing and swallowing a whole roll, and was like, “Am I missing something?” So my search for freshly made kimbap landed me here.

I was hesitant to go to the Ktown location, and made the 90 minute drive to the Torrance location. At first glance the kimbap looked like any other kimbap. Just with a slightly nicer presentation. But the smell radiating from my to-go bag was permeating my car. The scent of roasted sesame oil. I had to try one before making my long drive back home. It was, in short, very delicious. I can see why Rumi was shoving it down her throat.

I bought the beef and tuna kimbap. The beef had a nice savoriness. While the tuna had a creaminess to it. Both were delicious, but I liked the beef more.

I also just finished my order of tteokbokki, as I’m writing this review. It was spicy, umami, chewy, and paired well with the adobo rice I made. Yes, we are expert big backs over here.

Overall, I really liked their kimbap. Next time I’ll go to their Vermont location since it’s closer 🤤“

“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“

“Food was so yummy! Had the chicken pho and edamame.“

“Good food, good service, plenty for everyone“

“The Dragonfly Thai is a local takeout/ eat -in establishment. Hubby and I ordered two different dishes. His was flavorful and well-received (Thai Kung Pao). Mine, Pad Thai with tofu, was rather bland and I needed to keep adding additional sauces to enhance the noodles. I ordered extra vegetables (paid extra) - and frankly it was hard to see what were the extra veggies and which were the ones that came with the dish. The staff were very kind and business was busy. I would go back - but not order the Pad Thai.“

“I don’t usually crave Thai food, but my husband loves it, so we’ve tried a few spots in the area. Honestly, this is one of the better ones we’ve been to.

We’ve dined here twice now, and both times we ordered the combo Pad Thai and the chicken green curry—both were excellent. The portions are generous, packed with protein, and full of flavor. I’m particular about Pad Thai; I don’t like it overly saucy, but I also don’t want it too dry. This one strikes the perfect balance, making it just right for me.

This is our go to place when we are wanting Thai food, hopefully it doesn’t go out of business“

“Santouka is one of the better chains of authentic Japanese ramen around.

I like this food court format, easy, reasonably priced, quick.

I had the miso and it was excellent!!!

The ramen too is priced right. $12.95 for small, $13.95 for medium and $15 for large.

Shio - it certainly has a lighter flavor than the Miso one but Miso will taste better in my opinion“

“Absolutely blown away by this amazing Chinese restaurant! We started with the Beijing duck, and it was hands down one of the best I’ve had—crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. You could taste the quality and care put into every bite.

We also ordered the fried chicken wings, and they were packed with flavor—perfectly crispy, seasoned just right, and seriously addictive.

The char siu, sausage, and shrimp fried rice was a total standout. Every bite was loaded with rich flavor and generous portions of meat and seafood, making it one of the most satisfying fried rice dishes I’ve had in a long time.

The fried tofu was also delicious—crispy on the outside, soft and silky on the inside, and paired perfectly with the dipping sauce.

On top of the amazing food, the waitress was super friendly and kind, which made the experience even better. Will definitely be back to have some more!“

“I have been here several times and each time it's different. The food is usually very good. I have wanted to try the Drunken noodles for a while now and I finally did. I don't know if they have different cooks but that day the noodles were overcooked, very, very soft like a half step from just mushy which made it hard to taste all the seasoning of the dish. We also had the chicken satay with a peanut butter sauce and onion and cucumber vinaigrette which was definitely delicious. The Thai tea was okay“

“Excellent place to eat and take away too!!! The waitress was very friendly and we ordered 4 rolls to try since it was the first time. We took the combo 3 rolls for 21, and lobster pop roll, they were super, very good flavor and well reported, it's more filling than rice ❤️ and we love that, it was to go but they gave us a delicious complimentary cherry flavor ice cream, delicious no We expected it and it was a ?we definitely recommend it. Super clean and welcoming and they are attentive to needs without feeling harassed. ??????“

“This location is always busy. However, they can always manage regardless of situation. Quelly, the counter person is very accommodating, she even suggested the right order for the family. They always wear a smile. The whole crew were happy during our stay in the dining. They also gave us coupon for the next visit. Thank you, Chowking!“

“Nong La has a dedicated Canto Viet man diligently directing the back of the house day in and day out, making sure the food hits their level of comfortable consistent cuisine, which won’t exactly blow minds or taste buds, but fills an exotic unfamiliar question mark into a manageable modern meal. But there’s this really Skinny Canto Viet lady bossing a bunch of diverse ppl around… she’s kinda scary at times and fiery at times… I suspect Nong La (Nong La means Burning) was named after the hot heat came from her own… hot… …..!😉🤓🔥🥵)“

“Best Ramen in Town 😁 Really Friendly staff kind and courteous“
