Noodles in Los Angeles, CA

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“The food is great! I think when we got there a group of people walked in so it was a little slow for service. Parking was pretty easy and the atmosphere is just simple nothing fancy but the food is amazing I highly recommend and would go back!“

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

“Guys! This place is definitely the real thing! Real Chinese food thing!
The young lady is so patient and kind. Kinda feel bad slowing down the line when I had a lot of questions about the menu..
I had the Chicken noodles with cumin seasoning and it’s awesome! I bet the fried rice is good too! Coming back for it for sure~“

“I absolutely loved this place. Lots of vegan options (which are clearly labeled). We tried so many different items and loved them all. The staff were incredibly friendly and nice and I just loved the whole vibe. The Dan Dan noodles, fried mushroom (forgot the name of the dish), and bok choy dumplings were all amazing. We had a large group with several kids and they were so accommodating and patient. I can’t say enough good things! Updated from previous review on 2026-02-16“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Fantastic food at an extremely reasonable price. You can easily get full for 20$. We had a huge spread of dumplings, our favorite was the spicy pork dunpling and the pork and leek pancakes. Everything was delicious and seemed hand made. Service is very casual. This is a great spot to share food with people you care about you will get great shareable food and service that is attentive without being interrupting.“

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

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

“As jjamppong lover, it’s hard to find a good place in K-town. But this place makes a pretty solid jjamppong and jjajangmyeon among the Chinese restaurants around.
The jjajangmyeon is a bit sweet, but the noodles are pleasantly chewy. The jjamppong broth and ingredients are good. For now, this is the spot I’d choose to go. The downside is having to pay for $2 for parking.“

“The service was very friendly and accommodating, happy to adjust the order to my specifications which I always love. I was the only one at the restaurant and The order came very quickly. I ordered the vegetable pad Thai with no traditional broccoli, only Chinese broccoli and the order was correct and hot. I

am usually a 7 out of 10 on the American spicy scale so I ordered “medium spicy” and asked for extra but I didn’t need it, it was the perfect amount of spice for me so know it runs a bit higher on the scale.

The vegetables were clearly fresh and cooked to a light crunch. The flavor was there but I’m a bit of a tough crowd as I’ve been to Thailand and it’s difficult to find it’s equal. One thing, I’ve never seen the noodles orange like that, curious what made them that color.“

“Was craving soba on a Saturday morning and luckily found SOBAR. Soba made in house - 100% buckwheat, cooked to perfection. Some of the best soba I’ve ever had with strong but clean dipping sauces. Had an extra full serving of soba to polish off the dipping sauces. Service was as good if not greater than soba itself.“

“One of the best Thai food I had in LA. We had a group of 9 and the servers were very accommodating to get us a table. The food was awesome- we ordered Pad Thai, Panang Curry, Box of Prawns, Rainbow rice, crusted Salmon and Hot Mermaid. The food came out quickly and the service was great.“

“best Thai food I've ever had and I have lived in Thailand“

“Every time I go to this restaurant, even when it's packed, the service is always excellent. Yangzhou Restaurant is almost always overflowing with diners, but honestly, the wait is worth it every single time. I also really enjoy looking at the celebrity photos hanging on the walls; they infuse the restaurant with the classic charm of an old-school Chinatown eatery“

“We had a wonderful experience here!! Service was 10/10 and they helped make my friend’s birthday memorable. The ramen is delicious - not too salty or oily or heavy, and the broth is super tasty. This establishment has a rich history; ask the servers!

Thank you to Mija, our server, for an amazing experience!“

“อาหารอร่อย บริการดีมากๆครับ 😇🙏🏻“

“Ambiance: a bright, clean, nicely adorned establishment, with a striking painting as a feature wall...the wait and serving staff definitely contributed to the overall ambiance... Service: as with the many other reviewers, our experience was very similar with respect to the service, as our server was knowledgeable, friendly, competent, helpful, and attentive...did I say friendly...definitely one of the elements we will take away from the evening... Food: on the recommendation of our server, who was very helpful, knowledgable, friendly, and attentive, we ordered the Takoyaki and our server's favourite Spicy Garlic Pork Shoyu Ramen x 2. The latter was described as a "spicy soy sauce tonkatsu broth with garlic is served with two slices of chashu pork, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, egg, fried onions, seaweed, green onions, and buttered corn". I absolutely love ramen, and, to me, what defines any bowl is the soup base, described by a very learned chef as "an intensely porky, opaque pale broth with a sticky-lipped intensity, with the rich, buttery texture of light cream; the best sports tiny nubbins of fat swimming around on their surface, a slick of mayu (black garlic oil) or chile-sesame paste, a handful of thin-sliced green onions, a soft-yolked soy-sauce tinged egg, and a few slices of meltingly tender chashu pork belly". The broth definitely reflected the events described, and the many hours spent in preparation, with a rich texture and flavour, complemented, but not over-powered by either the chili nor the garlic. It was a wonderful recommendation that we would order again! All in all, the evening that left us very satisfied in terms of having our hunger sated, and taste buds quite happy... the true test is whether we return, and, should we find ourselves back in the city, we would most definitely make a return trip to try other dishes!!“

“Good food and fast service.“

“Delicious Udon and other Japanese specialties“

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

“Staff friendly and awesome Thai foods“

“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 .“

“This is absolutely our favorite go to restaurant whenever we visit LA. A must stop for us. Living in CA and then moving to MN, we always crave for the noodles here. We visit every 2-4 years and the soups and noodles have always been consistent. The flavors are truly astonishing! We took my parents to visit last week again, and we stopped there 3X! A few days later back at home in MN and we are craving the soups already! Would definitely recommend this place.“

“The thick pork bone and fish soup has a deep umami flavor and a slightly smoky taste which is unique. A very good experience.“

“We dined at their SM North Edsa branch. Good food. 👌 Crews were accommodating. 💯“

“Awesome food , they’ve got great teriyaki bowls too!“

“Great food like the staffs“

“Delicious 👌 the greatest meal at Korea town LA“

“My Favorite Thai Restaurant. They serve authentic, freshly made Thai Food. Some of the entrees are not in a lot Of Thai Retairant like the Shrimp Paste Rice or the Stewed Leg Rice. Service is friendly and felt sincere. They also have premade Thai food that’s very authentic. This place is such an underrated hidden gem.“

“One of several new malatang places in the area, Bruin Bowl is not a large place, but they seem to have a solid selection of meats, veggies, noodles, and seafood despite their modest size. Both the bone broth and the chicken/fish maw soup bases are pretty tasty too. Excellent option if you're in the area.“

“I like this place about the food is wonderful“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“m/ Really good spicy awesome noodles 🍜“

“Yummy hotpot from here hits the spot, especially for late-night study breaks. Broth leans sour and spicy in a good way, heavy flavor, kind of addictive, like you just keep fishing for another bite. Fair price for students, portions decent, tbh works for my broke student budget. Good for one-person meals, I just ordered, ate while watching lectures, and it stayed warm. Delivery came on time, nothing spilled, packaging simple but solid. Night snack go-to in this college area, especially for heavy-flavor lovers and international students missing that kind of taste.“

“Good dumplings (very clean) especially u can buy frozen ones for takeout. It's not easy to find CLEAN restaurants in LA. Little far from ktown still good food. Hidden gem. I like they only use veggies and beef. Best in LA. Ratings are not overrated.“

“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.“

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

“my go to Thai place in LA“

“We only found this place because we were looking for a bathroom & stumbled upon a gem. It was our first time trying ramyun & it was just wow! I ordered the creamy ramen with pork belly & my sister ordered the katsu for take out. I really like that they line the takeout container with foil to keep the food warm. The katsu sauce was thick & savory,, the chicken was crunchy & juicy, & they give a large portion of rice. The sweet corn & coleslaw help to balance out the rich katsu sauce. The ramen tasted kind of like carbonara with a kick. The pork belly was cut up into 6 small triangle pieces. I can't wait to to eat in next time! There's a small parking lot in front, but we found street parking.“

“Our go-to neighborhood gem — and we keep coming back for more!
My boyfriend and I have become regulars here, and honestly, we have zero regrets about it. We go probably more than we should (our wallets might disagree, but our taste buds absolutely do not!). What keeps us coming back is the fact that we’ve never had a single bad dish — everything we’ve ordered has been absolutely delicious.
What I love most is that the menu always gives us something new to try. We make it a little game — every visit, we branch out and order something we haven’t had before, and every single time, it delivers. That’s honestly rare. It’s one thing to have a few standout dishes, but when everything is this good, you know the kitchen really cares about what they’re putting out.
This place has become a true staple in our lives, and I can’t recommend it enough. Whether you’re a first-timer or a fellow regular, you’re in for a treat. Do yourself a favor and check it out — just don’t be surprised when you find yourself going back way more often than you planned!“

“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.“

“Omg!!!! This has got to be the best Chinese food in China Town. I love Chinese food. I have tried many Chinese restaurants. But the food here is is fresh and so tastee delicious. Everything cooked to perfection and well seasoned.
It looks empty. But don't let it scare you. Come on in and savor the best food in LA.“

“Tina, the owner, is an amazing person and great Thai chef. I dined in her cozy restaurant and we had a great conversation. I absolutely loved my Penang chicken curry over rice! It’s next to a famous boxing gym - all her favorite champions come by to eat after their workout. BYOB from the market next door“

“Great good, Great service“
