Noodles in San Gabriel, CA

“This is pretty good, affordable place if you love spicy food like we do. While it's not my favorite Sichuan place, the noodle dishes hit the right notes.

Update: get the boiled fish with tofu and wood ear mushrooms. They’re very good.“

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

“Great food and amazing service!

Parking is super easy since it’s located in a huge plaza.

I got here around 11:00 AM and waited in line for about 20 minutes. The line was mostly filled with older people speaking Cantonese, which told me right away that this place is super authentic!

The Beef Chow Fun is super flavorful and comes in a huge portion.
Their $12.99 breakfast combo is also a great deal with a huge portion—though it's pretty much pure carbs! And the best part is they still let you order it even after the breakfast hours.

You also get free refills on the Hong Kong style milk tea, and you can even take it to go for free. The iced version is the best, especially in the summer!

Unlike a lot of other places where the food is good but the service is terrible, the staff here is incredibly welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend!“

“This is truly a Taiwanese restaurant. I definitely wouldn't have eaten at a Chinese restaurant. I'm so happy to be able to eat Taiwanese food. Being in a foreign country always makes me a little nervous about going home. It was truly a wonderful experience.“

“Tried Vege Valley Restaurant recently and honestly it was a good surprise. I’m not even strictly vegetarian but the food was really flavorful and fresh. Ordered noodles and a veggie dish both were well cooked and not too oily, which I liked.
The place is simple perfect for a relaxed meal. Service was quick and staff were polite. Pricing also feels reasonable for the portion size.
Only small issue was parking, took a bit of time to find a spot. But overall definitely worth visiting if you want healthy and tasty veg food.“

“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". :-)“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Red Chicken Thai is a small corner Thai food spot in San Gabriel Valley. They have a breadth of food and drink items. Its interior was modest with little to no aesthetic decor.

However, the atmosphere was relaxing for customers. Their dining area have 8 tables that can accommodate thirty people. It was my first time visit and I had a default Pad Woon Sen x Iced Lemon tea. Both are good in taste, flavor and portion. Service was spot on as well as the price (affordable). Staff was competent and attentive. Plenty of street and rear parking. Collectively, this is a good Thai spot.

Overall, I had a good experience and enjoyed their food.“

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

“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“

“Southern California is serious about it's food and Almuchow meets all the taste buds expectations!

Fantastic food spread from Crispy Pata to the kind of Sinigang you can only get back in the Philippines. We had bangus, chicken inisal, lechon kawale, ensalada talong, and pancit too! Their lumpia is crispy and every bite is full of yummy meat and veggies! Pancit, full of flavor. Lechon Kawali, beautifully seared and juicy.

Make Almuchow your next afternoon family destination. Everything here is very tasty, masarap! It's worth the trip!“

“Saigon Eden of SGV is a midsize Vietnamese restaurant located in a small plaza on Las Tunas ave in San Gabriel. They have a plethora of Pho, vermicelli, rice, appetizers and drinks.

I was craving for healthy supper Pho Veggies or Vermicelli Grilled Chicken. I end up with Pho Veggies-large. And it was delightful and warm. Staff were cordial and professional. Prices are reasonable. Parking was easy. Atmosphere was okay. Overall, I was satisfied with their Pho and service.“

“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.“

“This spot is a must try! Really enjoyed their purple rice roll. Its all the hype and rightfully so. Get the fried donut extra crispy, add green onion pancake and brown sugar with their sasuage. That made it so so good. I also really enjoyed their beef roll with green onion pancake as it was packed full of flavor!“

“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👍👍👍👍“

“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.“

“Ordered for pick up a few times to avoid cooking during busy days.

Parking is very difficult during rush hour times for dinner specially. But I’m always glad they always have my food ready by 25 mins. They’re a casual dine in or takeout spot inside the plaza which shares parking with many other restaurants. You could technically park underneath in the underground parking lot for free if you’re going to dine in.

** Tonkotsu ramen - thin noodles. Broth isn’t salty but it’s oily. Flavors are ok - not my favorite out of all ramen places.

** Rice bowls: Small size but great for quick bites where you probably want to add some veggies to your dinner.

* Karaage rice bowl - nice and crunchy tasty chicken pieces - with loads of nori strips

* Chasu rice bowl - tasty and comes with half an egg! 🍳

* Takoyaki - tasty 5 pieces - soft on the inside - small pieces of octopus 🐙

Next - I’m coming back for the dipping ramen!“

“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!“
