Some of the tastiest, homely food available in Westwood and a great place to takeout from.

Mr. Noodle is a decent restaurant for takeout as well as dining in for those in college looking for a quick meal. There are decent amount of tables in the restaurant to sit. The price for the portions they are giving is really good. Mr. Noodle has quite large portion sizes and has a menu full of popular items. I got the combination fried rice which had vegetables, shrimp, chicken, and beef. I ordered this at the restaurant for takeout. The man packaging the food handed me the food and then took it back. That was a little concerning as he said nothing to me when he took it back. He re-checked it and gave it back. The food itself is ehhh. There was not much flavor to it. They only gave 2 shrimp in the entire fried rice. Not impressed, but it filled an empty spot. If you are looking for a quick bite to eat, this is the place. Its just okay.

Great prices and a great way to get my Asian food fix while stuck at work at the hospital. Not the most authentic Thai food in the world but that's ok, because it still tastes delicious. The people who work here are super nice too. My favorite dish is the tom kha noodle soup, pad Thai is pretty good too. Thanks for always being there for me mr noodle!

An absolute S T A P L E for Westwood. I graduated over 10 years ago and I still make my way back to Mr. Noodle every month for a variety of dishes. My personal favorites are the Wonton soup (even more so when I'm feeling sick), the yellow curry, and chicken Pad Thai. If you aren't getting an all-day special with your dish, you're making a mistake. The eggrolls are always perfect, and the egg drop soup is the pinnacle of comfort food to get your meal going.

My friend and I came to Mr. Noodle one evening after studying all day for finals. We were exhausted and very excited to finally get some food. Unfortunately we were yelled at by a server when asking for recommendations and we decided to leave without buying a single thing. We asked about the pho and was told “This is Thai pho, if you don’t like it you can leave” with a very demeaning and condescending tone. It was such a humiliating experience, and I wonder if our being two black women has anything to do with our treatment. I hope other UCLA students do not have to deal with the treatment we received. I will gladly take my money elsewhere, since the color of our skin has more bearing than the color of our money.

Quick service. Reasonable portions and prices. Nice flavours and spices in the yellow curry. I didn't love the noodles because something in it was blackened/burnt which was a turn off on smell and appearance. I ordered via Grubhub and it looks like they don't read the order customizations in this case because I didn't receive the customisations I requested but luckily, I didn't mind too much.

Affordable prices. Good food. Great portions. Horrible service. I took my staff out for a holiday lunch on a rainy Friday afternoon. We were immediately seated and provided with a menu. A lot of the options range from $10-$15, which is great for the Westwood area. However our service was horrible. When we asked for recommendations, it seemed like the waitress was bothered and as a result was extremely unhelpful. When it was time to pay for the check, the waitress flung the check onto the table and walked away. I definitely won't be back.

Mr. Noodle is a legitimate business. Not only is the service superior to others, the food is top notch. The noodles are great. They did not name it Mr. Noodle for nothing.

Decent place to get some variation of Asian food. They're kind of a jack of all trades, master of none. I ordered the beef pad see ew and it was good. Also had the wonton soup at another visit and it was decent and light, though the wonton was only just shrimp wrapped in wonton. The service is a bit slow as we were waiting a long time to have a waiter available to get us our check. They only had one person running around during lunch time and the table next to us also looked like they were losing their patience as well. Overall, would come here again.

The best ORANGE CHICKEN I’ve ever had! They cook it to order and they don’t use pre-made/gooey sauces. It’s always fresh and flaky/crispy. Honestly the best I’ve had in LA so far. Each time I’ve gone, the person next to e orders chow mein, which looks to be a killer contender. The staff is efficient and very kind. Mr. Noodle is an all-around wonderful experience!
Good at a good price. The students can kind of kill any feeling this place has. To Avoid this do not go weekends weekends

The menu options and service were good. Got to give them credit to offer dishes from various asian countries. I don't think the quality can compare with the restaurants that specialized in one ethnic type, but they are at least 70% for the quality and taste. Most importantly, there will be dishes for you or your friends taste buds. By the way, they are not just for noodles, they have dumplings and rice dishes.

Good food for being close to my work. I called for takeout for my lunch and ordered beef pad sew and they gave me chicken. When I opened my food, I saw the MSG powder not mixed well into my food. Other than that, if you're craving Asian food, this place will do for the conveniency and price.

Delicious curry chicken! The chicken was so tender!

I was the first customer for lunch that day haha. Never tried chicken green curry before but I fell in love with it immediately! I was amazed by its pungent taste and fragrance of coconut milk and spices. Definitely worth trying! The Thai iced coffee is also good if you are looking for sweet coffee drink. The service was nice and efficient. Mr. Noodle is the place to go for students like me- the price is reasonable and you get a big portion! Speaking of the name of the restaurant, I saw people sitting next to my table ordering noodles soup. It looks so yummy! I'll definitely come back to try!
