Noodles in Monterey Park, CA

“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“

“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.“

“The food is delicious! the rice roll is very chewy and soft, have great texture! I come back here every time for the beef brisket noodle soup, because the noodle is so so good and beef is flavorful and tender, it has great amount of meat with reasonable prices!“

“The taste is good and the service is okay. It's just that the boiled pig's blood and fatty intestines I ordered were packed, but when I got home, they were boiled fish and fatty intestines. When I packed it, I saw them flipping it back and forth with their chopsticks. I guess they knew they made a mistake, but didn't tell me. I'm too lazy to go back and change it. I hope I'll be more serious next time“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Authentic Chaozhou noodles: rice noodles and egg noodles. Two main different ingredients and completely different textures.

1. Egg noodle:
chewy, tastes like a beautiful independent woman’s workday morning: refreshing and high energy.

2. Thick rice noodle:
Rich rice flavor that southerners grow up with. A flavor that running in their blood since they were born. Tastes like home and mommy.

The meat they put on my wonton noodle soup omg it’s sooooo good so flavorful so perfectly tender and chewy. I don’t know what it is maybe cha Shao?

3. Service & Atmosphere:
- You not here for birthday party so.

- If you speaking local dialect you will be treated like homie is really not because they are racism to anyone else is just because aunties work here only speak dialect and some English. So English should be fine flenz. (another way telling you how niche and authentic this place is)

Chaozhou food culture:

Chaozhou noodles focus on light, natural flavors. Dishes like Chaozhou vermicelli and egg noodle have a unique texture and are usually paired with fresh ingredients. The broth is often a mild bone or seafood-based soup.

I eat half of it with some white pepper, to just taste the broth the slight sweet flavor (without any of those diabetic sugar in those commonly seen Americanized Asian soup. my Asian taste buds are really not made for American’s sweet-everything-food industry okay? I hate it. Let’s be honest if one day an Asian immigrants like me become the president of United States the first law I’ll sign is put those shameless capitalist who kept adding sugar in everything in to jail.
So many things literally shouldn’t be sweet by adding sugar!!!“

“Spicy beef noodle soup broth was really good!! Our kinda new favorite Chinese Restaurant (Hunan cuisine) in the MPK area. All the dishes were decent and super flavorful but not overly in any wrong way. Quality flavor.

Cauliflower dish, and the Intestine tofu dish are spicy! For those who like spicy (medium spicy lovers), it's good. But for mild to medium spicy eaters, it was barely doable but with tears and sinus changes. They said to ask them for light mild spicy (translate as small spicy) because maybe the app doesn't allow that choice? Note to self to order small flame/mild spicy next time for my sake.

Spicy beef noodle soup wasn't too spicy. Super great broth! Loved it!! Didn't feel too salty. It was packed with flavor. I would recommend this for anyone craving noodle soup. If you take this to go and leave it overnight, remember to separate the noodles and soup, or else the noodles will soak up all the soup...and leave you soupless haha Its a rare occasion we order beef night soup or carb items but was craving a Chinese noodle soup dish.

Pumpkin Pie dessert was like an air puff with thin flat mochi in the middle. They said no dairy is used but not not too certain if I trust that too much.

Looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes!!“

“It's hard to find vegetarian/vegan Chinese food options, so this place has become a staple for me. We usually get the deep fried sesame chicken, pineapple fried rice, and some type of vegetable. They are all delicious and filling, we always have left overs! I drive from Torrance just to come here.“

“The food here is phenomenal. Simple, familiar dishes that reminds you of home. Highly recommend. Don't miss it! The lady boss told me she's gonna retire soon!

Cash only! Small place with odd timings. Remember to check!

Parking lot available.“

“I just came across this place by chance and got interested in ‘rice noodles’ and never had any dish from Guilin before. I was pleasantly surprised to find a gems of cuisine! The owners are super-friendly and especially generous condiment booth much more so than any restaurants I’d seen. Plus the price is super economical. Because of such pleasant personalities and exceptional services of the owner couple, it makes the ambiance so unique and very cozy to dine in. Not to mention the taste of the dish is great! I love the chewy round rice noodles that seems to be hand-made. It reminds me of simple noodles made laboriously I encountered in a remote village in Laos where they called it ‘Khao Pun’ made fro slightly fermented rice that was pounded, steam and pounded again so the texture is soft but chewy. It came in delicious meat sauce. I got pork belly and beef ribs. I was surprised that beef ribs were debone making it very pleasant to eat. This place is a rare find and I’ll be back to try other dishes again“

“Visited Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle for the first time this weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The restaurant is located in the plaza on the corner of Atlantic and Garvey, with plenty of parking.

The menu is simple and straight forward. You start by choosing the desired soup base (bone broth, tomato, hot & sour, spicy) and then the protein offered under your desired soup base. If you wish to order additional toppings; there is a list of add-on you can pick from. The restaurant gives you the option to order using the QR code taped on the table or with the staff member. Soon after placing the order, they bring out the toppings to the dish, which consists of your desired meat, lettuce, generous portion of rice noodles, tofu, ham, green onion, seaweed, wood ear mushroom, corn, egg, etc. Lastly the soup base is served and you add the add all the toppings to your soup.

I ordered the tomato soup with sliced brisket; love the strong tomato flavor in the broth. If you are a tomato lover, this is the soup base to order.

Will definitely be coming back to try the other soup bases.“

“Little hole on the wall place but serves some legit Vietnamese comfort food. Had pho tai nam (ligaments and rare steaks pho), and 2 serving of bun thit buying (grilled pork with rice noodles).

Wheelchair accessibility: There is w/c access here.“

“This charming hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese eatery is a true hidden gem. While the space may be modest, the flavors coming out of the kitchen are anything but. The menu is refreshingly simple, focusing on quality over quantity, and the prices are incredibly reasonable for the generous portions they serve. It’s the perfect spot for a quick, satisfying meal that doesn't break the bank.

The pho is a standout—rich, aromatic broth with layers of savory depth, paired with tender meat and perfectly cooked noodles. It’s the kind of dish that warms your soul and keeps you coming back. Their noodles are equally delightful, with just the right balance of chewiness and flavor. And don’t even get me started on the egg rolls! Whether you go for the light, fresh summer rolls or the golden, crispy fried egg rolls, each bite is a burst of authentic, well-balanced flavors.

The vibe of the place adds to its charm. It has an unpretentious, welcoming atmosphere that feels like a well-kept secret among locals. The cozy setting makes it an ideal spot for a casual lunch or a low-key dinner.

Honestly, I’m almost hesitant to share this review because I know it will only make the lunchtime lines longer—but this place is too good not to recommend! Whether you’re a Vietnamese food enthusiast or just looking for something hearty and delicious, this eatery is well worth a visit.“

“It ‘s so Yammy and health food!“

“This spot is my favored. I eat in many restaurants but to this restaurant I constantly return again and again. The team is very cordial and the cooking they offer is so appetizing. I would always prefer to have a decent dinner here. Highly recommended.“

“I would go to Mandarin Deli down on Atlantic about 3 min away for better quality food. We got the lamb with mushrooms, lamb was cut very thin and lots of connective tissue so still hard to chew. The sweet and sour pork was cut thin as well and very tough to chew. The XLBs are considerably smaller than Mandarin Deli, but they were juicy as they’re supposed to be. Spicy dumplings were acceptable but too little filling compared to dough. The only thing that was good was the beef wraps. Plenty of beef inside but again, Mandarin Deli is much better value and quality. Mama Lu is just too commercialized and I will NEVER order from here again. I just give 5 stars cause support Asian businesses.“

“🇨🇳 SHAANXI, CHINA (via Eat the World Los Angeles) - A classic way to enjoy biang biang noodles is with a two or three topping spicy noodle with pepper oil 油泼三样 ($13.99). No matter how you eat them, possibly with cumin lamb or Qishan saozi style, the chew and texture are both just right. It may seem daunting to pull the (very!) long noodles out of the bowl for sharing, so enjoy this order on your own and slurp away.“

“Bigggggg portions! Bring your stomach! We came at a random time and the auntie who works there was there to work! She's immediately recommend the dishes and the add-ons. Despite our language barrier, she quickly took our order and the food came out fast. We ordered their signature rice noodles with medium spicy level, which is perfect. Great place, chill vibe, spacious lounging area.“

“The Daikokuya ramen is soo delicious and very filling.“

“12/27/2019 鮮🦐腸粉加🥚 & 菜乾咸排骨瑤柱花生粥. 好吃,😋價錢合理 🤗👍“

“A13 seems to be the hidden gem according to the friend who brought me here. She usually gets the Lamb Noodle Soup. Order A13🔥🔥🔥🔥
We waited a little long & has to walk up to the counter to make our order but if that’s all I have to deal with, I’m coo.
Prices were fair & A13 was f’n DELICIOUS!“

“Best buns and dumplings in Southern California. They make wonders with flour and pork. They also don’t speak English, so I normally just point at the menu. Nothing is bad on the menu except the seafood. If you get something fried, try to dine in to get the texture right. If you get fennel buns, make sure you like the taste of fennel because there’s nothing subtle about that one. Pork and cabbage is the safest bet.“

“Nice place to have lunch or dinner. Excellent service.Great atmosphere .
Chicken with ginger sauce is very good.
Loster with sticky rice is excellent. Tofu in brown sauce with mushrooms is good. Strawberry ? geletin desert is very ? good.

Parking: Location. Easy to park covered garage.
3 hours free validation.“

“Food here is quick and decently priced. The prices DID go up alot! Eggrolls use to be $0.60 before covid. Now it's $1.10! Other items too did go up price, but still resonsable...BUT I will never get their Pho's.. its SO flavorless.“

“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 place is lowkey and so legit. We love getting the taiwanese purple rice rolls, pork buns, and hot tea (that tea is a steal ngl). There's enough menu items you can take your time exploring, or eat some tried and trues. Everything tastes made from scratch. Prices are affordable. The servers are so sweet and kind. Like what's not to love?? The majority of customers are Chinese speaking, but we got by fine with English XD Morning Summit is always the perfect way to start your day...arguably best breakfast place in town!“
