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..“

“Food is pretty good.Reasonably priced for reasonably good food.We like trying different combination they have .Their drink is on the not so sweet side. I put generous amount of liquid sugar they provide on the side to my drink.They also have extra condiments for free like peanuts and wonton skin crisp. And they have sweet ish soy sauce.But the best part, just like everybody mentioned is that they do not take tips.As of 2024, when I'm posting this , tipping in greater LA area has gone ridiculous. You now have to do mental math before you go out to eat to calculate how much your food will actually cost . Not on this place.“

“My favorite club. I have been here too many times for both take out and dining in. It’s a very small space, the owner is so nice, and the food is so good and reasonably priced.

Love the hot pepper chicken, mapo tofu, cucumbers, green beans, and the cumin beef noodles are always a must order.“

“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!“

“This place has THE BEST handmade noodles I have ever had in my life. So fresh and delicious and with a Sichuan numbing sauce that makes it a standout unique experience. I will absolutely keep coming back here, it is AWESOME.

Vegetarian options: There are some good vegetarian options, albeit not many, but the Chong Qing handmade noodles and veggie dumplings (also the garlic cucumber) are all absolutely delicious!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The best beef noodle soup take out I’ve EVER had… for as long as I can remember being in USA. It gets an A+ from me. Literally zero complaints. Good noodles, fat and tender pieces of meat, good broth and veggies. I don’t follow trends but I hope this place is poppin’ off. Dumplings are yummy too.“

“The food was excellent and there was no waiting time during lunch hour. Upon arrival, you will be seated promptly. Their rice noodle soup is served in a unique bowl with a handle. Despite the service being satisfactory, we do not find it to be exceptional. The sole issues we have are parking challenges due to the proximity of the Social Security Office in the same location. Therefore, only street parking is available.“

“Had dinner there with my wife, nice staff and quickly served. The waitress was nice and allowed to substitute chicken with tofu (your choice of regular or fried) for the curry, which was not on the menu. My wife really enjoys the mint chicken but I have to say that the curry was a little watery and tasted like most of the spice came from black pepper. A little odd, would probably try something else next time.“

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

“Went here with my bf as a date. The stir-fried beef noodles were amazing, and so was the service, didn't really like the passion fruit tea drink it was a little to bitter for my taste.Other then that this place is really good, its worth visiting!!“

“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.“

“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“

“Very humble place, it's small and you shouldn't expect a extravagant presentation. But the food here is chef's kiss. Got the goat curry, chicken with this really nicely seasoned rice and a coconut soup dish. Really enjoyed my time and the flavors here.“

“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.“

“Tried out this little place for dinner and it wasn’t too busy and we were able to be seated right away. This spot is super low key casual and feels like eating at your aunt’s home (especially the door to the second dining area). The servers were kind enough to bring us water with large cups so you don’t have to keep pouring/filling.

FOOD: We ordered the Braised Pork Rice dish with peppers and Braised Beef Noodles soup. I will say that the flavors were not as salty as other places I’ve had, but flavors were not as strong as I’d have liked.
- The beef chunks in the noodle soup were on the tough side but the noodles were soft and soup was pretty tasty.
- The pork cubes with rice was pretty tasty as well. The dish came with a small bowl of soup.

Parking: The lot on site is shared with other establishments so during rush hour it can get pretty packed. But there is an underground parking lot where more spaces can be found.“

“Cozy atmosphere, absolutely delicious food. The house beef noodles were the best noodles I have ever tasted. The serving was enough for 3 and cost only $13. The noodles were very long and hard to eat, though. There could've been a little more beef, though.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“excellent. and the owner so friendly.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“We've been by this place a few times and didn't realize there's an Indonesian restaurant right next door. The sign isn't that big outside, or it's not visible enough for people to see when driving. We tried a few different Indonesian dishes. Some were really good, and some weren't.
Lamb satay is really good. It's super juicy and tender with sweet soy sauce and chili. The second best dish was mee goreng - it's like a fried egg noodles with vegetables and you can choose from chicken, beef, or shrimp. The third one is stinky bean with shrimp. It's really tasty with spicy sauce.
The place is super clean, and the food is cooked right when you order it. We ordered Nasi kuning with some chicken and rendang, but the chicken wasn't that great. It just had a bit of crunchiness on top. Right now, they're giving out free lemonade and 15% off, and on weekends, they're giving out free sweet and sour soup.
Overall, the place and the waitress are pretty good, but they do charge a fee for using a credit card. So, make sure you bring some cash with you to avoid that fee. I'd really appreciate it if they could let us know ahead of time if there is a card fee when using it. We'll definitely be back for different dishes next time.“

“The food is excellent. It's my first time in this restaurant. My experience was very good, although we didn't speak English very well. The waiters make an effort to serve you as it should be. I will definitely return to try more of their menu. My wife stayed. nice to meet you“

“One of the best Vegan place. I visit it frequently. Prices as reasonable considering hot black tea, main dish, rice and daily dessert included in the price. Food is delicious and staff is very friendly. After remodeling have become more spacious and comfortable.“

“Had the Pho and Spring Rolls. Delicious! The soup was flavorful and not greasy. The Spring Rolls were very fresh. I highly recommend this place.“

“Ordered Hainan Chicken and Double Potato Noodles. The Hainanese chicken is very tender and not fishy at all. The double potato noodles have a lot of ingredients. I ordered it extra spicy and it's full of flavor. I also ordered some fried skewers and they tasted good too.“

“I don't know what is going in LA but it's neigh on impossible to get truly authentic Thai food. But here it is! The most authentic you are gunna get. Not loaded in goopy sweet sugar sauces like all the others. This place is small - you are gunna have to wait your turn but boy is this place worth the wait. If you have ever been to Thailand then this place will transport you right back for some amazing nosh.“

“We were there around 7:30pm and they close at 8pm, but they still take people in until they close and I love that! I always order their bun rieu and fried egg roll, these are my go to but from my group, they like the pho there too!

Parking: There is a parking lot for the entire plaza this restaurant is in, so if you are here during peak hours, it might be difficult to find parking as there are other food places in this plaza.“

“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.“

“very good noddles .and service very respectfully.“

“I ordered fried beef river, shrimp dumplings, and beef tendon tripe. All levels are good. The beef river is not greasy and has the flavor of a wok, and the beef is fresh and tender. Many Yijia LA restaurants make shrimp dumplings, but this one does not. The skin is thin and the shrimp is tender. The beef tripe is steamed just right.“

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

“Delicious and nice place.“

“Great dumpling alternative to the you-know-what-place in the mall and without the super long lines. Generally Prince Dumplings can be busy during weekends, so plan accordingly.
In addition the usual, Xio Long Bao, I would recommend Signature Salad and the Garlic Broccoli.
Personally, I did not like their pork spicy wonton. You can make your own decision.“
