Noodles in Los Angeles, CA

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“This place has a really cute vibe—definitely more of a bar with small eats than a full-on restaurant. It’s cozy, with a laid-back atmosphere, making it great for a casual hangout or grabbing a quick bite with friends.

The food is decent, but I wouldn’t necessarily call it authentic. It’s tasty, don’t get me wrong, but it feels more like a fusion or modern take on some classic dishes rather than the real deal. Still, it’s enjoyable, especially if you’re just looking for something easy and flavorful to snack on with a drink.

The vibe makes up for any little imperfections in the food, and if you're in the area for something light and fun, this place is definitely worth checking out. Just don’t expect the authenticity you might find at a traditional restaurant.“

“อาหารอร่อย บริการดีมากๆครับ 😇🙏🏻“

“WHY DID YOU DROP THE CRISPY SKIN CHICKEN!? This has always been one of our favorite restaurants in LA, easily among the top 5 fried chicken dishes in the city. It was recently replaced with a chicken katsu, and I don’t understand why. Please come to your senses and bring back LA’s finest chicken. Ditto the cumin lamb.“

“Best Thai food in LA! 🔥🔥🔥“

“Giving a five stars is because it’s a Taiwanese restaurant. Happy to taste some home flavor!

It was my first time visit this restaurant in the morning. I ordered pan fried pork buns, you tiao, iced sweetened soy milk, and a fan tuan to go. I highly recommend fan tuan because the taste is actually the same in Taiwan. For pork buns, not much flavorful. The soy milk is pretty good actually!

I will come by lunch or dinner time to try different menus!

*update on 5/6
Went back to try the lunch menu. Ordered a won ton soup and a beef noodle soup. I believe won ton soup with sea weed and some pepper would be better! As for the beef noodle soup, three huge beaf with great soup, better have the noodles with the soup to get more flavor!

Willing to try the other dishes on the menu.“

“Delicious food. Fast service. Get here early to avoid a long line.“

“Delicious. Tried the Amber. I usually get a creamy/Tonkotsu option if its available but i wanted to try their signature dish. Very flavorful and not too salty for me. Had to wait about 15 minutes for indoor seating on a sunny day. Our waitress was nice and checked in after we received our food. I will be going back.“

“The best Thai food so far for me name "Hoy Ka Thai Noodle".
The garlic brocolli beef, basil pork, pad thai, spring roll, ginger shrimp,  even the thai tea all the best!!! Dont miss the sticky rice and mango as the dessert!!
Super duper yummy!!

You need to try it!!“

“A WONDERFUL RESTAURANT - THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS , THE PORTION SIZE WAS LARGE AND THE WOMAN SERVER WAS VERY KIND AND PLEASANT - AN EXTRA PLUS INEXPENSIVE PARKING WAS ADJACENT TO THE GOLDEN TREE . LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING BACK AGAIN .“

“I was totally satisfied when we decided to go for a quick dinner at this ramen place in San Gabriel near the Hilton Hotel. I ordered the spicy ramen and it was sooo good. Love the spicy ingredients along with the thick noodles. 😋 My friends had the Tonkotsu instead. Both dishes are good. Would love to try the other dishes in the menu as well. 🍜😍“

“Delicious Udon and other Japanese specialties“

“my go to Thai place in LA“

“The restaurant serves a special dish that my family member always love when we visit Cali…the pig intestines noodle. It’s a small little place but has lots of variety dishes to choose from. We loved every dishes we’ve ordered. Will definitely come back again soon.“

“The best place in Dtla! Ask for Hiro, he was super amazing and kept our drinks full!“

“What a wonderful experience at Aizen Udon in Little Tokyo, LA. The food was visually beautiful and the taste was even better. Our server Soma was very knowledgeable about the food and is a Sake Master. A must place to eat when visiting LA! Well done“

“Delicious 👌 the greatest meal at Korea town LA“

“m/ Really good spicy awesome noodles 🍜“

“Delicious food! The shrimp fried rice, the potstickers and the spring rolls were amazing! We will become regulars..“

“Tasty food reasonable price!!“

“Very delicious! My daughter fell in love with Katsu Sando ❤“

“Good food and fast service.“

“The atmosphere of the restaurant is relatively simple but comfortable. The waiters are friendly and provide fast service.“

“Totally worth the 70 minute drive. Delicious food and great Taiwanese hospitality. Friendly, attentive staff and wonderful atmosphere. Minced Pork (Lu-Rou) Rice, fully loaded delicious stewed pork with egg. Meats are juicy and tender, kinda on the sweet side. Clamshell bun (Gua Bao) comes with tender thick cut pork, a bit on the salty side, but very well cooked. Fatty but not greasy. Thousand layer pancake with egg and basil was crispy and flaky. The basil flavor is a wonderful addition. Scallion bread sandwich was what we expected. Same tender thick cut pork, very happy to eat this. Next time I will probably get the beef, too much pork belly today Wonton soup is very classic, if you like shrimp wontons, you have to try this. We ended the meal with Hakka mochi and Oolong tea, the mochi tasted just like the ones in Taiwan. The tea was fragrant and is just the perfect compliment to the mochi. Overall an amazing meal with warm and friendly people, highly recommend!“

“Tl;Dr: Kid friendly and delicious food (kid approved!). This may be our new spot now - jinsol is good but we've gone too many times and it feels a bit too heavy (we always feel thirsty/bloated after eating there). The combination of naengmyeon + gukbap here helps cut the heaviness.

Waiter was sooooo nice to our toddler. He brought out flashing toys and a hand fan for him and gave us an extra white rice on the house since we said he would eat that over purple (he recommended the purple rice for us). Our son ate so much of the galbi tang with cabbage. We enjoyed it a lot too, but maybe we enjoyed it even more because he ate so well. The naengmyeon was also delicious. Overall a great experience. we will definitely be back.“

“Tsujita La Artisan Noodle Annex is the best Dipping Ramen ( Tsukemen ) in LA , closest noodles I’ve felt in Japan. Here the noodles are thick and springy, they kept separate from garlicky and flavorful broth to maintain the chewable. It’s perfect for me!“

“I recently tried Kyoto Paitan Ramen last week and Curry Ramen this week at this spot. The Kyoto Paitan Ramen was good, but I was really impressed by the Curry Ramen. It wasn’t very spicy, but it was packed with flavor. I prefer thicker noodles, so I’d love to see that option next time. Overall, a great experience!“

“Staff friendly and awesome Thai foods“

“The Pho is enough for 2 people and it's delicious! We have had both the chicken and the Wagu beef. Also, the rice plates with fried rice and either Wagu beef or spicy pork is really good. We get one of each (Pho and rice plate) and share. We are quite full and satisfied when we finish! And the prices are very reasonable.“

“The food and service is a 10! we will be back when in town. I'd come from Montana just to eat here it's that good“

“I was looking for a quick lunch while I was out walking my dogs. I was craving Thai food and stumbled upon this place with a few small tables outside. The staff were really friendly and even brought water out for the pets. The menu is extensive and I appreciated the photos of each dish because it helped me order new items I haven’t tried. The food came out quickly and was really good. I recommend!

“This restaurant is terrific and the staff are 😃 but do not order online from the website linked in the Google profile, it has been hijacked by another company called "QMenu" and you will not get your order (they will scam your cc info)

Go directly to Postmates or Uber eats if you want delivery otherwise call the restaurant. They do not have their own website. They're all fake.“

“2024.10
The customer service was very good! The server was kind, polite, and had a wonderful smile.
However, the taste of the food is extremely ordinary? and there is nothing wrong with it...
It tastes like home cooking in a good way.
The rice flour noodles and chili oil on the table were very delicious.“

“The food here is pretty good. We ordered Pho, sandwich, chicken egg rolls and vermicelli. Take awhile for the food to come out but it’s worth it. Chicken egg rolls are surprisingly taste very like pork egg rolls. Recommend this place if you want to try Vietnamese food in Little Tokyo.“

“Very quick & friendly service at the Sunset location. All I got was a regular-size chicken karaage bowl and it was perfect. Tipped a little extra“

“This is a place where dumplings are very delicious. You can also buy frozen kimchi dumplings, meat dumplings, and chive dumplings. Other menu items are also delicious. I recommend the sweet pumpkin sujebi. There are also healthy menus. The parking lot is ample. There are various stores within the same mall.“

“The food is excellent but they have an 18% dine in fee on top of their already expensive menu. So yes, a bowl of pho is 30 dollars which is insane since there’s not a ton of service and the restaurant looks a bit run down / not aesthetically good. I asked him to remove the mandatory service charge and he said if he did, he would have to pay it out of his own pocket which is wild. Idk it’s kinda strange, but the soup was really delicious.“

“Boat noodle & minced garlic 🐔 over rice were exceptionally tasty. If you are looking for authentic Thai food this is the place to come go. It’s a small parking lot with few parking but there are plenty of street parking. Come one come all and bring your empty tummy to be filled here.“

“I got the dry hot noodles medium spicy and they were really good. Spicy but not so spicy that I’m in pain. It was really flavorful and the noodles were chewy which i enjoyed. I got it for take out, the food was ready quickly and there was no line. I would come back here to try the other stuff!“

“2nd ⏰️ - just as delicious. Our new Go To!“

“Handmade with love. Tastes as if I'm at my Halmoni's house. Delicate, real and subtle Korean flavors of my childhood, not too sweet or salty. My bf and I ordered the steamed veggie dumplings, chive pancake ((better than my Sumo's! Shhh)), king sized veggie dumplings, side of rice and miso soup. Cooked to order -- be patient. Soft textures. Sweet, hardworking couple. Our fav is the steamed veggie mandu. Vegetarian friendly. Perfect meal. ❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶 I love this place, if I lived in LA I'd be here all the time.“

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

“A sleek, modern space with a rectangular bar at its center, a focal point where all the action unfolds. It is where all patrons gather around. While the portions may lean towards the petite side, the flavors are on point.

I kicked things off with the albacore crudo style sashimi. The tender tuna, bathed in tangy blood orange vinaigrette and topped with crunchy chili garlic, was a fresh, flavorful start. The spicy yaki edamame—a semi-unique twist on the classic—was pan-fried and tossed in a citrus pepper paste and soy sauce. It turned a simple side into something I couldn’t stop popping.

The shrimp & vegetable tempura was crispy and satisfying—tempura done right. Light, crispy, and perfectly paired with a dipping sauce that hit all the right notes. It’s exactly what you want when you think of tempura, with shrimp that snaps and veggies that add a pleasant variety. Then there’s the mongo ika tempura, where tender squid gets the tempura treatment. If you’ve never had squid tempura like me, this is your chance to be pleasantly surprised. The spiced salt and a squeeze of lemon added a bright, balanced finish to every bite.

The gindara saikyo yaki was one of the highlights. The black cod, marinated in saikyo miso, was so tender, the flavor so deep, leaving you only with the wish that it came in a larger portion. The ao-nori bagged potato might just be the most playful dish on the menu. Served in a bag like an elevated snack from your childhood, but better. The novelty of the bag only adds to the experience.

Finally, the ribeye ku maze soba—this is the dish you come here for. Cold soba noodles in a savory broth, topped with slices of ribeye and a poached egg, it’s hearty and satisfying. The noodles were cooked just right, and the broth tied everything together. To wash it all down, the lemonade soda and a yuzu soda were refreshingly crisp palate cleansers between bites. They’re like a cool breeze on a warm day—just what you need to round out the meal.

SOBAR is a great spot for a casual and delicious meal. The dishes may be on the smaller side, but the flavors are anything but. The service is solid and efficient, ensuring that your dining experience is as seamless as the restaurant’s modern design. If you’re feeling hungry, order a little extra—your appetite will thank you "soba" much!“

“What incredible service from Zander. On New Year’s Day with the restaurant completely packed he made some magic happen and got me and my girlfriend a table for our anniversary. It doesn’t stop there! The service through out the whole dinner was incredible with recommendations and check ins. The ambiance as well was awesome with modern vibes and music going. We had the xiao long bao, chicken fried rice, and three cup chicken and oh my god was it incredible.“

“Mountain Noodles offers an extensive variety of Korean dishes, which initially made me skeptical about their focus on noodles. However, I was surprised to find that their menu cleverly builds on a foundation of decent meat broth with slight variations.

I tried their signature dish, the beef noodles, and opted for the mild spicy version, which unexpectedly came with kimchi in the soup. I would recommend going with the regular flavor to fully appreciate the rich flavor of the broth. Kimchi is also served as a standard side dish. The ribs in the noodles were perfectly cooked, and the noodles themselves were delightfully chewy and tasty.

While the service was not particularly friendly or proactive, it didn't significantly detract from the overall quality of the food. Mountain Noodles is a solid choice for anyone craving varolious and well-prepared Korean cuisine.“

“Extremely nice workers and the food was amazing. Spring rolls, summer rolls, and pho tai were all outstanding.“

“First review - absolute gem of a restaurant.
Clean, luminous, good service but especially fresh and delicious food.
Pho is made with love, and you can taste its heartiness. Special Banh Mi is delicious, fresh baguette bread, freshly pickled vegetables and deliciously marinated meats.
Even the teas are a delight!

A true diamond in the rough. I recommend to anyone that enjoys good Vietnamese food. Cheers“

“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… …..!😉🤓🔥🥵)“

“Having Mama Lu’s 5 min away is seriously dangerous! This is one of our fav spots for Chinese spots and for good reason. The food is always delicious and they serve generous portions. This time we ordered the lobster noodles, shrimp with scrambled egg, shrimp, napa, & pork dumplings, spicy wontons, juicy pork dumplings, and sizzling filet mignon with black pepper sauce. Top favs of the night def have to be the lobster noodles, the sizzling plate, and the spicy wontons which always hit. Service was quick and friendly as usual.“
