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! 🍲“

“I love pho and found this place by accident. I came around 7:30pm and it wasn't really super busy, which was great for me! I felt like I had the restaurant all to myself! My portions were great and the price was awesome, too! Our servers were so pleasant also!
I will definitely come back!“

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

“I definitely recommend the chocolate xiao long bao“

“蕎麦、日本食　最高 !“

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

“I got the oyakodon set and it was such an elaborate meal, I felt like a queen. The oyakodon was so comforting and I really enjoy the fresh fish and tofu/beef sides!! I was also in a rush but the servers were kind enough to get me in and out in a jiffy :) Will be back!!“

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

“Josui is the most authentic tasting Japanese ramen restaurant I’ve found in Torrance. My personal favorite is the Abura Soba, especially in the warm summer months, but the Josui ramen both with and without garlic is fantastic. My co-workers go nuts for the Tan-tan men.

Yebisu on draft! What more do you want?“

“A small spot right on Venice Beach with about 20 seats—all outdoors, but they have heat lamps, so it’s pretty cozy. Prices are fair for the area at around $ 16 a plate. We showed up at 7 PM, just 30 minutes before closing, but still found a table easily and got served super quickly. The staff was really friendly! As for the pasta, it was okay, but a bit plain and nothing to write home about. Overall, a convenient and affordable option near the beach.“

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

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“The food is really good and cheap, plus its a really good portion of it. The atmosphere is pretty welcoming and feels good to be there. The most remarkable thing its the service, it is a really nice and good service in every way, best service I've had so far and will definitely go back.“

“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“

“I want to give five stars, but it seems like every time I go their soba machine is broken and all they have are appetizers 😭 I’ve had more experiences going there and they don’t have any soba available than them having soba… definitely call ahead to check if they have the dish the restaurant is based on 🥹
5/5 soba when they do have it though“

“Gardena’s best-kept secret!
I tried the satay shrimp for the first time after a regular suggested it to me. Omg it was so good! Seriously, I might be hooked.

It's also worth mentioning that the egg rolls are a must every single time. ALWAYS Hot, crispy, and delicious!!!

The veggies they bring out with the pho are always fresh and crisp and the perfect portions. It's the ultimate comfort food on any day!!!

I brought three friends with me this time, and they all loved their food. Every time I come, I bring somebody who has never been, and they always want to come back. The food and service are always excellent. We will definitely be back!“

“I am so surprised that they are willing to send out samples for potential customers. Also, I would like to give a shot-out to the friendly staff Takao there. He is very patient and professional on answering any questions about their products. It will definitely earn our future business :)“

“your wonton wraps were flexible and easy to shape. they hold together wonderfully when boiling, taste great and have a good mouth-feel. they are top notch. Imagine my disappointment when I tried to use your gyoza wraps; some too dry to use; many were stuck to the one next to it (NOT an easy peel). the combination of too dry and stuck-together made for a lot of torn wraps, necessitating that I patch them together using scraps of ones that didn't stay in one piece in order to finish making the gyoza. Such wildly different quality makes me wonder if I got unlucky with the gyoza wraps, or lucky with the wonton wraps.“

“As a noodle lover, I found this to be a very satisfying ramen spot. This Kyushu-style tonkotsu ramen chain has locations across Asia, the United States, Europe, and beyond.

You can choose the firmness of the noodles, the type of soup, and your preferred toppings. The gyoza is tasty and perfectly sized for a single bite.

When you want to enjoy both great food and a pleasant atmosphere, this place never disappoints.“

“Great customer service and great food. There dishes could include more varieties of vegetables but if you ask they can accommodate but for example instead of drunken noodles just having pepper and basil leave it could include multiple vegetables like baby corn, carrots, peppers and broccoli. Great experience overall.“

“BEST BOAT NOODLES ON THE WESTSIDE! I am so grateful to have a legit boat noodle spot close to me! They’re so hard to find and these are SO DELICIOUS! I also love their Venice noodles but if you love a punchy boat noodle, that is where it is at!“

“불맛 짬뽕 맛집~~“

“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.“

“We came here for lunch. We had cha gio, pho ga and com tam dac biet.

We were welcomed with a smile and I think the proprietoress took our order. She was so nice. Our food came out quickly.

During our meal we saw her talk to all the customers sitting. And all the customers who came in for pick up. It seems this is a favorite neighborhood spot. Everyone loved her and she in turn loved them back. It made the atmosphere so cheerful.

She talked to us and she smiled and laughed. I would come back just to speak to her and eat cheap, great food.

Note: cash only“

“We like Thailandia so much we became regulars and we still make the drive to eat there after moving further away. The food is always good quality and arrives quickly. We always get the Tom Yum soup and pad Thai and both are excellent. The server, First, is so sweet and remembers us and our order.“

“The malatang here was really satisfying! The broth was flavorful, rich, and had the perfect level of spice. I liked that there were many ingredients to choose from, and everything tasted fresh. The portion was generous, the service was friendly, and the food came out quickly. Definitely a great spot if you’re craving something warm, spicy, and comforting.“

“Great customer service and delicious and flavorful food“

“I had a great time over there. Delicious food 🥘“

“Just tried Guilin rice noodles for the first time and I’m absolutely obsessed! The broth is incredibly fragrant and soul-warming, with a subtle spicy and savory depth that keeps you wanting more. The rice noodles themselves are silky-smooth and have the perfect chewy texture. Topped with crispy pork, peanuts, fresh herbs, and a hint of pickled vegetables—each bite is a beautiful balance of flavors and textures.
It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience. Whether you’re a foodie or just looking for something comforting and delicious, Guilin rice noodles will not disappoint. Highly recommend giving it a try!“

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

“No dress code, friendly staff and good food.“

“Really good food and fast service“

“Very good food and great customer service“

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

“Me and my best friend were craving Thai and decided to come here randomly. The food was amazing!! We had drunken noodles with beef and the flavors were so good and the beef was so soft and tender. We know the papaya salad is traditional Thai dish and wanted to try for the longest time. It’s so refreshing and delicious. It has a spice to it which I love. Thai tea was amazing too, a little too sweet for my liking but still 10/10. Will be coming back to try more ! Staff were so nice. :)“

“Lots of vegan options“

“Good food, good service, plenty for everyone“

“Amazing food, the spicy seafood soup was sectacular“

“Lately, I’ve been very into kimbap. However, I can be pretty picky about it in terms of what’s inside. There’s sooooo many options for what kind of kimbap you want. For me, I’m really into the beef kimbap. Kimbap Paradise has the best beef kimbap, in my opinion.

The restaurant is located in Torrance, super close to my home. It’s in a busy shopping center so there’s plenty of parking. I easily just call in my order and pick it up. It’s usually ready within 10/15 mins depending on how busy they are. I never dined in, but there’s lost of seating inside to do so. If you’re not a kimbap fan, they have many other Korean dishes to choose from.“

“Delicious home made pasta ! Friendly staff !“

“For how amazing this spot is, the amount of reviews don't do it justice. Constant repeat customers and hands down best quality of meat and always made hot and ready. BBQ red pork (constantly made throughout day) is my favorite here, followed by either the spicy fried chicken, pepper chicken or even orange chicken but all are amazing!“

“The food is delicious. Once I received my bowl, I was blown away by the portions. My bowl fed two large individuals lol. The kimbap was also delicious. The musubi was fire. The price was right. Overall, I will be coming back when I’m working out here, once a week lol.“

“Dan Modern is our first choice
For light Chinese in a great environment.. The food is seasoned at a reasonable level and it is consistent. We love the fresh string beans- for a minute they changed their source and the beans were stringy but they are back to the crisp tasty beans without the annoying strings. Love the Dan noodles and the chicken dishes are well cooked and seasoned at the right level without being annoyingly
Sauces. The environment is great, upscale, easy parking and centrally located on the west side of town. It gets crowded and there’s a lot of takeout pick up - The only area for improvement is managing the takeout process along with properly greeting guests, who are going to dine in - All of that is done in one central location, sometimes the pick up drivers are pushy because they have a time crunch while dine in guests just want a leisurely meal. Other than that, Dan Modern is highly recommended as a family favor for us“

“About Me: I am Level 7 Local Guide who is ranked top 10% of Google Restaurant Reviewers and have 15M+ views. I am a born and raised NYer who now lives in Los Angeles. I do not receive compensation for these reviews.

Now that the weather is getting colder, I am naturally gravitate to more warming foods like Ramen. I am currently on a Ramen tear so expect to see more reviews of other places that serve Ramen.

I am big fan of Mitsuwa Market, a Japanese market in Venice that is sort of a food court and mini-mall to all things Japanese. Hokkaido is just one of the establishments housed in the market. Their menu is extensive for such a small kitchen. You sit in a communal food court area that has someone clearing tables which is nice. This is a no frills kind of place so don’t expect much in the way of environment or service. Nevertheless everyone is very kind and polite. I ordered a basic pork Ramen which very good. Quality of the pork is always a distinguishing factor and here it was average. That being said the broth is also key and I found it very rich and tasty. I have been here twice now and will be back again.“

“great food affordable and very clean area.with great customer service.“

“DONT COME HETE IF YOU WANT FAST QUICK FOOD SERVICE!!!!!
If you’re looking for quick fast-food service, this is probably not the place for you. I’ve been coming here for a while, and the food is always good quality, but it takes time. I usually order a drink and relax while I wait for my food. In my experience, the wait is typically at least 30 minutes and can sometimes be up to an hour.

Personally, I don’t mind because I know what to expect, and I enjoy having a drink while I wait. However, if you’re coming here just because they’re open late and the prices are cheap, be aware that your food may take a long time to come out.

The people serving customers are the same people preparing the food in the kitchen. They come out to seat guests, take orders, and then go back to cooking. There isn’t a dedicated waitstaff like at many restaurants, so service can be slower during busy times.

That said, the food quality is worth the wait for me. Just come with the expectation that this is not a fast-food , service type of experience.“
