Noodles near Monrovia, CA

“Great Pork Dumplings also really like the Beef & Cheese“

“Northeastern Noodle House, the braised beef noodles are delicious, and the beef burrito is full of coriander and green onions. Unfortunately, I don’t like the sweet noodle sauce, but the crust is super thin and the beef is delicious! The large plate of chicken shaved noodles is delicious with a bit of numbing flavor from Sichuan peppercorns! There is a live ramen show by the chef, and the noodles are freshly made and delicious...the service is good! It was full at dinner time..“

“All 6 of our family members love this place. It's our default spot for comfort and the perfect meal to end a long day. I probably wrote a review somewhere else but they deserve so much praise. Like everyone says, everything is so good, fresh ingredients and when you eat there, every dish is out with smoke straight from the wok. Seating is limited, so getting to-go is the easier option. Our usual dishes: Dry Pot Pork Ribs, Broccoli/Fish filet, noodles, house special pork ribs, tea smoked duck and mapo tofu. I wish I can try everything else on the menu!“

“I would recommend the Bihun goreng, the sotomie Jakarta, and the kwetiau goreng“

“Food is great, friendly service and clean environment for dine in as well as take out. Parking is easy and they sell lottery products too. Our favorites are the house fried rice and various noodle dishes. The best part of all is the soup companion side! We will be back indefinitely!“

“The green beans and kung pao chicken were the favorites. The xiao long bao dough was a little thick for our liking and didn’t hold together well so we didn’t get much of the broth sadly. Great rice noodles as well! Would come back just for the green beans, kung pao chicken, and rice noodles. Quick service and very reasonably priced for the amount we got!“

“A small semi fast food style Vietnamese restaurant. You can tell the majority are local customers. Price is reasonable and taste as usual Vietnamese Pho.Egg rolls were pretty good. Wrap with lettuce, carrot, cilantro and dip in fish sauce. Good combination that enhance all flavors.Even a semi fast food style restaurant, customer service was friendly.There was no tips section when process the credit cards machine. Then we put 18% tip on the table.“

“The price of the meal is reasonable, and each noodle dish tastes authentic. The sesame sauce of the miscellaneous sauce noodles is thick. I especially recommend the beef burrito, which has a lot of beef and is fragrant. The fried pork buns are very suitable for takeout.“

“This is a newly opened restaurant, so the environment inside the store is very clean and the furniture looks new. There are not too many choices on the menu. The Hainanese Chicken Rice is very tasty, but the chicken is slightly less umami. The Bamboo Shoots and Chicken Soup Noodles have a sweet soup base, which is worth a try.“

“The store does not use an online platform, so please do not order food on the online platform. This time, after ordering on qmenu, I went to the site and said that they did not cooperate with the platform. Fortunately, I did not pay. I ordered the Beef Knife Fried Noodles ($13.99), which can be swiped with a credit card if you spend $20 or more. There is a lot of beef and it is very tasty. The vegetables include cabbage, onions and tomatoes. Although it is a little oily, it is still quite delicious overall.“

“Pretty solid noodle house with yummy broth and a good variety of choices to order from. We ordered the Crabmeat Tomato Basil Noodles and House Special with Mixed Noodles. We thought the flavors were good and there was enough to take home for some leftovers. The place wasn’t crowded before noon. This is our second time here and they have specials if you order over $39 worth of food and pay in cash you can get a drink included with your meal. Hope this place stays around. Parking on the street if it’s available.“

“I had the opportunity to visit this Michelin-starred restaurant specializing in noodles, and I must say that the experience was overall very positive.

The house specialty, the beef noodles, were truly delicious. The meat was incredibly soft and rich, making it the highlight of the meal.

However, I felt that the broth that accompanied the noodles could have had a little more flavor. Although it was clear that a lot of care had gone into its preparation, it seemed a bit neutral to me.

Overall, I give it a rating of 8/10. Although it was not a perfect experience, the quality of the meat and the presentation of the dishes were more than enough to make up for the small deficiencies. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to any noodle and beef lover.“

“A good place for rice noodles, and I really loved their broth! My go to is their sliced beef rice noodles, portions were good too. The restaurant is also very clean. Not to mention, when you order takeout, they pack everything so nicely! Service was fast too!

Note: there is a small parking lot right next to the restaurant although all seem to be compact sized, street parking is plenty too if you have a larger car. And, they also do happy hour from 2-6pm for snacks and drinks.“

“Authentic dumpling recipe from China. Freshly made by the owner
Great friendly service. You can buy a different flavor of ( uncook) dumplings in bags for take home parties as well. Any fan of dumplings, should try it out !

Vegetarian options: A simple* affordable spot to try authentic Chinese dumpling dishes

Kid-friendliness: Not too spicy dishes“

“Love this place the cutest little homey restaurant everything made with the purest love you can taste it when you eat it and that’s what matters ! The coconut jelly was amazing at the end I didn’t even think I had room but I did for that . Thank you for the exceptional service and the owner is just an amazing lovely soul you’ll love it here . Everything taste so exotic all the different flavors hit your tastebuds and your just in another country eating this food“

“Excellent food and great service. Family owned and my favorite local eatery. Please try it.“

“Foods are good & service needs to improve. Myself & friends are first time to attend this Ramen place, overall we like the food & will go back!!“

“The food here was amazing!!! Super affordable price!! I’ve tried most of the food here. Plus, the food itself will take you back as if ur eating in Myanmar. The service was fast and very friendly. Highly recommend to anyone!! Definitely gonna come back again !!!“

“Glad to discover another nice Taiwanese restaurant around LA. Very hospital staff. The beef noodle soup is certainly their specialty - unique thick al dente noodles, very tender tendons (chunks of beef not so much), interesting broth with herbal accents. Impressed by their shrimp & pork dumplings - the pork portion was probably fulfilled by the filing of XLB on the menu, which made the dumplings very pleasantly juicy; just wished the wrapper were thinner. In all, don’t expect anything extraordinary, but great value and certainly above peers.“

“Amazing smoothies and bowls! Yummmmy! Cute shop with food and gift items as well!“

“Good food,good price, will always go to this location over the one on Valley Blvd in Alhambra👍🏼“

“Was trying to find a place for lunch on a random weekday. This place is excellent. Give the small hole in the wall vibe but inside is pretty spacious and clean. Staff is friendly and the food is excellent.

I will say parking can be difficult but that shouldn’t surprise anyone in the area. Small underground lot if you can’t find anything upstairs

Had the braised beef plate. Big portions, tasty and well braised beef. Veggies on the side were on the saltier side for my liking, but overall I’d get it again.

Got the beef noodle soup as well. I thought the broth could be a littler more “rich”, on the lighter side than I usually like it.

Not pictured but also tried the pork spare rib noodle soup. The spare ribs were tasty and fell off the bone.

Overall enjoyed the food and staff. Would come back again to try some other dishes like the braised pork“

“Service was fast, friendly and very helpfull....food was also great by the way. I came on a weekend and it was very busy and had to wait but still was well worth it.“

“Went here for take out lunch boxes, food is good considering the price, and there’s a verity of items to pick from. It’s like a mini version of KangKang XiaoMei that was closed a while back. Only thing is that the server lady is usually at the back preparing/cooking, so you might not be attended to right away, sometimes might need to wait a little.“

“very good noddles .and service very respectfully.“

“I like this place. $13.99 per pound of food. You get to choose all your toppings. I recommend going heavy on the meats and light on the carbohydrates. That’ll be the best bang for the buck. They also have frog meat if that’s your lingo. I tried their beef bone broth and I like it a lot. I’d come back again.

**UPDATE**
Just a heads up. If you can’t eat mild this place won’t be for you. They can’t alter the broth. The only option is the tomato broth which is no spicy.“

“The food is amazing and even more importantly the staff was so incredibly helpful and friendly. I would go there just for the staff!“

“There were not many people at midweek lunch, the food was served quickly, the service was average, the environment was acceptable, and the taste basically reached the level of domestic roadside stalls. The braised beef noodle soup is very sour and salty. There is no beef flavor in the soup. It has a strong sauerkraut flavor and a strong soy sauce flavor and color. It is better to call it hot and sour beef noodles. The beef tastes good and the overall color is dark, very Shandong cuisine style. Buckwheat The noodles were very long and the waiter handed over the scissors in time. The large plate of chicken shaved noodles was bland and tasteless, thick and narrow, and the skill of the knife is hard to describe; but the chili oil was delicious and fragrant, which saved it one star. Generally speaking, it is a decent lunch for the purpose of filling the stomach quickly and easily.“

“I've been dining at Vege Valley Restaurant for many years, and it was here that I first discovered how incredibly delicious vegetarian dishes can be.
Now, as a dedicated vegetarian, I can confidently say that Vege Valley remains the best vegetarian restaurant in the California. The flavors are consistently amazing, the variety is impressive, and the atmosphere is always welcoming.
Whether you're a long-time vegetarian or just curious about plant-based cuisine, Vege Valley is a must-visit!“

“You think about getting ramen, but you want something healthier? Try rice noodles. LuDingJi will open your world to rice noodle soup. Parking is usually plenty, just go to their underground lot. The restaurant is relatively clean. Food is served pretty instantly, so that's great news for hangry (hungry and angry ?) customers. Servers are polite and friendly too. The only complaint I have is the lighting in this restaurant is kind of dark.To order, it's 3-step to get your bowl of rice noodle goodness:1. Choose your soup base2. Choose your entree3. Choose your carbs, but really just get rice noodles! ?4. -- Side note: please get some add-ons as the dish doesn't come with many things. --Food we ordered:- Tomato soup (8/10): For those who can't eat spice, this is Really REALLY GOOD! It's not too salty, the rice noodle textures were mildly chewy and tasty. I added fatty beef and some vegetables. Overall, the portion given is plenty.- Chili Pumpkin (10/10): A little spice, but this is probably my favorite hands down! The spice has a mild sweet-sour flavor to it. I really enjoyed this.- Shou Zhua Bing (6.5/10): This is basically roti canai with meat. I actually liked the dish. I gave it a low rating because I felt like the meat was cold but I thoroughly enjoyed the roti canai!Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants to try a ramen alternative. ✨?

Parking: Parking is usually plenty, just go to their underground lot.“

“One of these days, I'll be smart enough to take photos of what I eat. When I come back, cuz I will come back, I'll be better about taking pictures of the food. I came here on the recommendation of Kristy Hang, who posted about it on her instagram. I had the shu mai, har gow, wok fried turnip cake, and a pot of wonderfully perfumed Jasmine tea. The waitress was kind enough to offer me a to-go cup for the remainder of the tea in the pot. I would not have known to ask for it. So I'm grateful to her. There is easy parking in the lot. Highly recommend this place.“

“The fat waiter had a very nice attitude and was very smart. I personally felt it was more hygienic, but it was not halal. I put the invisible braces on the table while I was eating. I called him since he was off duty. Then the shop owner patiently called me to guide me in which trash can to look for. Finally, I found it. Thank you very much.“

“A no frills dumpling house. Staff is friendly and attentive, food is fresh and delicious.

Great for large groups or solo

Wheelchair accessibility: Very easy to navigate if mobility is a challenge. Wide open floor.“

“we took the drive frm Simi valley and let me say we'll worth the drive. try the beef stew noodle. oooo man finger linking good.“

“Good stuff, lots of variety. Noodles were of course good, I got the tomato and eggs soup because that what my dad always got, and the three topping noodles. No complaints. Green beans were good too. My buddy I went with used to come here a lot pre pandemic and he says it's not as good. Even so, I was happy, and want to try other dishes on the menu, so I'll be back.“

“The dumplings are so good!!“

“Came here on the weekend with a party of 6 since we were closeby in Pasadena and it was a short drive down to Alhambra. Went to a Chicken place the night before so everyone agreed on Japanese food. Was seated quickly and decided on the popular cream curry udon that was featured in social media.

Food came out quickly, though I was kind of dissapointed with the dish. It was rather bland. Everyone however enjoyed their dish so maybe I should have ordered something different, like their gyukatsu since thats what their name implies🤔 Service was good, maybe if in the area again Ill give this place another chance. 4 stars🤙“

“Good Alley is a welcome addition to the area for authentic dumplings! If you're craving traditional Xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), this place is an excellent choice. As someone with high standards for soup dumplings, my all-time favorites are Ma Ma Lu and Thumbling in West Covina. I’d say the soup dumplings here are slightly better than Thumbling's, with fresh, high quality ingredients and a rich, flavorful broth. In addition to the soup dumplings, the Beef Rolls and Sichuan Dan Dan noodles are fantastic and worth trying.

I’m deducting one star for the price-to-portion ratio. The portions are small, and the prices are on the higher side, so you may feel like the value isn't quite there. However, the pricing is still more reasonable than Ding Tai Fung, so it balances out a bit.

Quick tips: This place gets packed during lunch and dinner hours. Use the tablet at the entrance to sign up for a table. Be prepared for a potentially long wait.
You can scan a QR code on your table to start ordering on your phone, but payments can't be made directly via the QR code. To finalize your bill, you'll need to review it on the tablet and confirm the total with tips included. When the server brings the tablet for you to pay, ensure you don’t tip twice. Always double-check the final receipt to avoid accidental overpayment.“

“The first good sign was that I was the only white person there. If the local Vietnamese like the Vietnamese restaurant, it's probably authentic and delicious, and it is. Everything is family style, so be prepared for more food than you expected. The lemongrass chicken was fantastic. I'm looking forward to my next visit.“

“Solid pho tai for $13, lots of noodles, meat, and broth. The meat is a little too lean and I wish I could get a larger side of hoisin and chili sauce when dining in. All the side addons came in a little baggie, and the mung bean sprouts seemed to be cut in half. Overall, rather go here than drive into LA for Pho 87.“

“Came here to try your their Hainan chicken rice to compare with other restaurants. We ordered the combo for 4, came with 2 plates of already deboned chicken, 4 bowls of rice and soup stock, 1 plate of stirred fry Shanghai choi and 1 playe of smashed cucumber pickle and small tub of pried peanuts. The chicken was mediocre , the soup stock tastes like warm water which is really puzzling with all the chicken that they served. The 2 dipping sauce were not enough for the entire chciken plates. They charge extra if i you ask for more. Order through the QR code. Doesn’t work when we were there.“

“The signature wife's special was quite good, the pork was very tasteful. The signature beef noodles was very authentic, the broth was light and flavorful, the beef was tender and tasty. Good quality food, large portions and reasonablely preced. The service was excellent.“

“Nem Nướng Khánh Hoà is widely praised for its authentic Vietnamese cuisine and warm atmosphere. The restaurant’s specialty is nem nuong cuon, a dish of grilled pork meatballs wrapped in rice paper and served with fresh herbs and vegetables. The dish stands out for its flavorful, fresh grilled pork and the crunchy texture of the accompanying ingredients“

“The staff are nice & the food is good.“

“Hole in the wall, hidden gem, mom & pop vibes! they take card!

I can't get over these egg noodles in this wonton mein! seems like most places serve it up clumped together and you need to split your chopsticks to break them apart - BUT NOT HERE. they are silky and bouncy! and the soup is nicely flavored, enhancing everything in the dish. you also get four big wontons filled with plump shrimp and pork. I also love their hainan chicken, well seasoned, and the filet mignon has a nice kick.

Nice selection of traditional asian dessert options in individual serving sides (tofu pudding with ginger syrup, "che thai", ube tofu, etc.) and they also sell their wontons/dumplings frozen + noodles in packages.

parking is available on the street!

limited seating, but a lot of folks are doing takeaway!“

“😃I like the way they cook all family members working real Thai Food cook by Thai people“

“Such a lovely hidden halal gem in Alhambra. It was a delight visit this restaurant and experience wonderful friendly atmosphere with spicy and delicious cuisine. The lamb skewers, fried chicken and shrimp has burst of spice and flavor which was truly enjoyable. Look forward to visiting again and trying more dishes they have to offer. Such a great experience!“

“Delicious and nice place.“
