Noodles in San Gabriel, CA

“Very unique and interesting flavor, but still delicious! Be prepared for your mouth to tingle and go numb from the spice 😛 I enjoyed the vibes here. I got the cold noodles and the noodle soup, both worth a try. Cold noodles taste really good, very rich, creamy and hearty flavor 😋 staff is really kind and explain the menu well. I would come back and try other things off the menu too.“

“The noodles are good, but a little bland. The owner explained that they under spice it due to customer complaints, but has extra on the side so you can add however much you need. But the bigger issue is the pepper themselves aren't quite authentic enough, it's a little muddy in flavor and doesn't cut through the fat flavor profile, so it's a bit mid. Over all an easy B+ or A-. Pricing is a little high (maybe a buck or so cheaper is more appropriate, considering the portion size) but acceptable.“

“Although the restaurant is often crowded, the wait staff are usually responsive and able to attend to customers' needs.“

“Ever since some of my favorite restaurants have closed down, I have been looking for my next regular place to get some lamb and pita soup. After a long shift at the hospital, I Decided to give this place a try and it did not disappoint
Their lamb and pita soup is really delicious as well as their crispy, spice intestine and their cumin lamb burger
Their staff is friendly and the food comes out in a timely manner“

“I went to this place in San Gabriel a lot of times for eating their noodles. I really like their soup base, it is very delicious. The noodles in one order is a lot so you can totally become full after eating one bowl. Ludingji has opened for so many years in LA and their reputation is always good. Their price is reasonable as well. Highly recommend to go and try!“

“This new location seems smaller than their previous spot. Doesn't seem they're fully set up yet as we got disposable bowls for rice and individual disposable cups for hot tea ($1.50 per person).

Food is still consistent though! Mushroom in brown sauce ($12.95), vege fish in brown sauce ($12.50), and tofu pumpkin hot pot ($12.95) are still good choices and they're all on the lunch special menu!

Surface level parking in the plaza gets congested very easily, so try the 2 levels of underground parking for more spots.“

“I've dined at Golden Leaf a couple of times in the last year. The Taiwanese food is excellent across the entire menu. I only wish there was a location in San Diego where I live. You can really tell that the owner & staff put a lot into making authentic Taiwanese dishes and its really appreciated.“

“I googled "best Chinese in LA" and then this popped up as the #1 place. So we drove - and had a very good meal. However, if you expect the classic Chinese dishes, you will be disappointed. This is Shezuan, "a different animal". So no rice, no sweet-and-sour-this-and-that. So be prepared for very spicy Szechuan food. Noodles. No rice. Try the dumplings, they were delicious. We ordered mild (1 out of 5 spice degrees) and we were burning inside (we had two separate orders of dumplings - but spice grade 1. There is no consistency, so be careful). So if spicy is what you are "in" for, you'll love it. The ambiance is sort of authentic ;-) - the sign on how to use the toilet (outside the restaurant in the alley) says more than words. But then, it was $100 all-in for the four of us only. My advice: I could barely understand the service language. Better check the menu before you go. As we were first-timers, I wanted to share three starters and three mains among the four of us and leave it up to the waitress to make us explore - she did not understand. I asked if they served beer. The answer was "noodles or dumplings". :-)“

“Very nice small restaurant selling specialty noodles and some side items. The potato noodles have a firmer texture, kinda like soba, the soup was delicious. Chicken bone was also very good. There was an old couple working there, very friendly. Price was reasonable, highest it goes was $13 for the house special noodle. Overall a great place to try something new and unique.“

“Came here to try a new Thai spot after going to President Thai down the street for years and wanting something different. We ordered from the dinner menu, which comes with soup or salad, egg rolls or wontons, and white rice or shrimp fried rice, a great value.

I got the chicken pad Thai and everything was so flavorful and delicious. My boyfriend ordered the yellow curry and it was absolutely amazing, rich and creamy with a coconut base that honestly reminded me of my mom’s Vietnamese curry.

The owner was also incredibly kind and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. Such a welcoming experience. We’ll definitely be back soon!“

“Just found this place! OMG the popcorn chicken is one of the best I've ever had! Its amazingly crispy and tasty! And very well portioned! We also ordered the minced meat rice it was a nice portion and very affordable. Definitely coming back soon! Can't wait to try more items“

“Was around the area so decided to grab lunch and it wasn't as great as before. We ordered the seafood egg noodle and seafood white noodle, both lacked flavor. I had to add satay sauce to make it taste a bit better. The ice water glasses were dirty as well. I don't know if it's under new owners or new chefs but it wasn't that great. Good thing it was a cheap lunch.“

“Almuchow boasts of offering “Filipino comfort food” in Blossom Market Hall - and they have all the Filipino comfort staples on the menu such as chicken adobo, various versions of Pansit, and of course lumpia!

Since I adore lumpia I couldn’t resist grabbing an order - and I was not disappointed. Definitely a solid choice for lumpia in the area (it’s called Lumpiang Shanghai on their menu). The pieces are small but quantity is more than ample. And they come with a sweet/sour sauce.

The lumpia were nice and crisp on the outside and smooth on the inside with great flavor and not greasy. We also tried to order some chicken adobo but they were sold out - will have to try and catch it again next time bc it looks great.

Prices are reasonable and service was efficient and pleasant. We were a little bothered by the fact that the cook and other food handlers weren’t wearing gloves and were touching their faces and the money while also handling food - we almost didn’t order there bc of it but gave it a shot anyway lol. Otherwise everything was great.

Almuchow is towards the back of the market hall. Order at the counter and they’ll give you a buzzer. The vibe are lively and inviting with lots of seating options and promising dessert choices once you’ve finished your dinner. There’s plenty of free parking on site.“

“You know a place is great when the veggies are some of the best dishes you’ve ever had. The rice roll was so flavorful and full of meat, the green beans and eggplant in xo is just wonderful. The dumplings are stuffed with filling and I can’t wait to come back for their special dumping and to try a congee and braised chicken. I can’t recommend this place enough!“

“Great service, they even give away 8 inches free 🎂 too“

“First time dining here and had a great experience. The steamed chicken was tender and moist but my favorite was the flavorful grilled chicken. It was well seasoned and not overcooked. The stir fried Ong Choy veggies were the best I've had in awhile. Very reasonable prices. Excited to come back and try more dishes.“

“真的很满意 我可以反复去吃十次以上的餐馆 只是 营业时间太短了 ，希望店家能加长营业时间“

“My friend and I had a delicious lunch at Hui Tou Xiang! The leek pancakes and dumplings are all handmade in-house as well as the noodles. We’ll be going back.“

“Saigon Eden in San Gabriel is one of my husband and my regular spots—we come here often and it never disappoints. The food is consistently good, and we always order the Kobe pho, which comes out almost immediately. The fresh noodles are a standout, the broth is rich and flavorful, and they’re generous with the meat. Service is fast and efficient, and while the ambiance isn’t fancy, it has that cozy mom-and-pop feel that makes it comfortable and reliable. Solid pho spot we keep coming back to.“

“Got the pork chop rice, veggie purple rice roll, and milk tea. The rice plate came with pickles, cabbage, and whole braised egg. The meat was flavorful and tender and it good portion size for $12. The milk tea was also very good. The only thing we would not recommend is the rice roll. The chinese donut was tough and not crunchy and overall was very plain with only picked veggies included.“

“My plant friends shared a birthday lunch here at Young Dong Tofu. The food was delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was great lots of parking. We will come back again. We highly recommend this place.“

“Our family loves to eat Korean foods. This place is a good one because you have many choices to choose from. The portion is pretty big so you can share it. Good service, very clean and most of all the foods are delicious. I highly recommend it.“

“咖哩牛腩飯 黑椒牛柳炒烏冬 雲吞麵 港式雞絲碗仔翅 火腿雞絲通粉 豬扒 ，等…….等 講之不盡👍👍👍👍“

“I just had the most incredible lunch at Dandan’s Guilin Rice Noodle! I started with their dried sour and spicy noodles and seriously, I couldn’t stop eating them! I tried to save room for the other dishes, but they were just too good. The lamb skewers were bursting with flavor, and everything else like the tofu, pig’s ear, preserved eggs, and edamame was simply amazing. Every bite was packed with deliciousness. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re missing out!“

“TSUKE Artisan Noodle is absolutely outstanding. The noodles are perfectly cooked with great texture, and the broth is rich, deep, and full of flavor without being too heavy. Every ingredient tastes high-quality and thoughtfully prepared.

The tsukemen is especially impressive—bold, savory dipping broth paired with chewy noodles makes every bite satisfying. Portions are generous, and the presentation is beautiful.

The staff is friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe feels clean, modern, and welcoming. Easily one of the best artisan noodle spots around. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!“
