Noodles near San Marino, CA

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

“The food is priced on the expensive end, but that is to be expected for attraction food. Not that I minded anyway, because my entire meal was filling (the portion sizes are MASSIVE) and delicious. Well seasoned, served hot, and promptly arrived even during the height of a lunch rush. The atmosphere is unbeatable“

“We came here for lunch on a Sunday and waited for 45 mins before being seated. There were only two women working the front dining room and since service was slow, table turnovers were slow too. So expect a wait but the food was very good.

We like that they have pictures on their menus. We ordered the dan dan noodles, the chong qing noodles (my favorite), the pork chop noodle, youpo noodle, and xiao long bao. All were good and portions were large.

I do like the spicy mala flavors and that's in quite a lot of their dishes. Mild still has a kick to it, fyi.

The parking lot is too small for the restaurants in shopping area as is common in a lot of Asian areas. But there are plenty of free street parking around.“

“A super cute and clean dining area, friendly service and quality food, that should appeal to most people. However, I agreed with many reviewers that the flavor and depth of the Pho is just average. I liked the baguette in the banh mi and the quantity of meat was acceptable. However, the grilled pork was thinly sliced, like a cheesesteak and without a glaze or sauce. Although the food was good, it did not have the traditional flavor I expect. Overall my experience was excellent, and I wish the business well. Note: The restaurant is set off the road, so it is hard to see. They have their own parking lot, which is very convenient.“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“Really enjoyed eating here. The staff was very friendly and attentive. There was a small mix-up with my order, but they fixed it right away and were great about it. The food came out quickly and tasted great. You can tell they care about their customers. I’ll definitely be coming back. 10/10, would recommend.“

“Totally worth the 70 minute drive. Delicious food and great Taiwanese hospitality. Friendly, attentive staff and wonderful atmosphere. Minced Pork (Lu-Rou) Rice, fully loaded delicious stewed pork with egg. Meats are juicy and tender, kinda on the sweet side. Clamshell bun (Gua Bao) comes with tender thick cut pork, a bit on the salty side, but very well cooked. Fatty but not greasy. Thousand layer pancake with egg and basil was crispy and flaky. The basil flavor is a wonderful addition. Scallion bread sandwich was what we expected. Same tender thick cut pork, very happy to eat this. Next time I will probably get the beef, too much pork belly today Wonton soup is very classic, if you like shrimp wontons, you have to try this. We ended the meal with Hakka mochi and Oolong tea, the mochi tasted just like the ones in Taiwan. The tea was fragrant and is just the perfect compliment to the mochi. Overall an amazing meal with warm and friendly people, highly recommend!“

“I loved the vegan broth options! Glad we could find a place that has more vegan friendly broth and toppings! Our server Jeraldine was awesome and she took care of our complicated order due to our food allergies! We will be back again!“

“The atmosphere of the restaurant is relatively simple but comfortable. The waiters are friendly and provide fast service.“

“Had a yummy dinner with great service in a lovely setting. We love the hot and sour soup here and the lemon yuzu scallops are my absolute favorite! Love the beef rolls and the cauliflower dish too. Truffle xiao long bao are so fragrant and yummy! Everything is always delicious. The sticky rice drinks are so good too! One of my fav toppings anywhere! Always a delicious meal.“

“Food is delicious and fragrant. Chili oil is authentic and actually has spice and taste, not that mild stuff other places have. The beef in the fried noodle dish is tender and delicious, the sauce is fragrant. Cats ear noodle did take a longer time to make, but it's all hand made. Can't complain.

My husband got the lamb organ soup and the broth is milky white. The soup is extremely clear tasting and not gamey. Hand pulled noodle texture is on point. Not too soft, chewy.

Speciality fried pork was great and had that authentic north west vinegar sauce and taste.

There was a super annoying customer last night and the staff handled the situation very well. My husband was annoyed for the staff. Props to the restaurant. 10/10.

If you're dining in for the first time:
-Staff does not speak English, do some research on Xian cuisine and checkout their menu beforehand so you understand what dishes to expect
-They accept cash
-Water is self service
-Staff is not intentionally being rude, there's a cultural difference between Chinese and western dining service
-They don't bring utensils out because they're already at your table
-If you have any type of food allergies or dietary restrictions it's up to YOU to figure it out and not the staff“

“Delicious food. Fast service. Get here early to avoid a long line.“

“Very nice chinese restaurant at rosemad area. It seems pretty well known restaurant as it was very busy when we arrived. We were not purposely looking for this but found it when we search for restaurant near by.
The restaurant is not that large but has plenty tables. The interior was simple
There are plenty item on the menu and we ordered Spicy premium beef noodle soup, Tan Tan noodle, popcorn chicken, Xiao Long Bao and ice lemon tea. The order was prepared quickly and the food was ready pretty quick.
All the food are yummy. The spicy noodle soup was spicy but not was yummy. Popcorn chicken was good along with Tan Tan noodle and XLB.
The one that surprise me is the size of the ice lemon tea glass. it is the largest portion of ice lemon tea that I have seen at restaurants.
Price is reasonable and we left with some left over.
The staff and service was good and the staff was friendly.
Parking could be a challenge at this area.“

“Great casual dinner spot! I was so impressed that the owner was there alone and our food still came out extremely fast. The szechuan dry noodles were beautiful. We also got the beef noodle soup and added extra spice per the owner’s recommendation and it was amazing! will definitely be back“

“Happy Morning is one of the most authentic Cantonese restaurants we’ve tried! Every dish was full of flavor and cooked perfectly, you can really taste the quality and traditional Cantonese style in every bite. Great service, generous portions, and a true Cantonese dining experience. Definitely a place we’ll keep coming back to!“

“A nice little.joint with some of everyone's favorite Chinese foods, noodles, knife cut noodles, dumplings wontons etc. I liked the fried tofu and wontons. Portions are hefty.

Also enjoyed their macaroon ice creams.

Sad they did not have the cold skin noodles at this location.“

“Every time I go to this restaurant, even when it's packed, the service is always excellent. Yangzhou Restaurant is almost always overflowing with diners, but honestly, the wait is worth it every single time. I also really enjoy looking at the celebrity photos hanging on the walls; they infuse the restaurant with the classic charm of an old-school Chinatown eatery“

“If you want authentic Burmese Food, go there. Not pricy, yummy food and warmly welcoming environment.
I really wanted Shan noodle with Tofu but mostly Burmese Restaurant only offered Shan Noodle, but this one has it. So I ordered Shan Tofu Noodle and it’s so fresh. Monhikha is good but texture is thick.
The place is hard to find as it’s really small inside. Waiting time for food is so long, for me, I waited for about 20 25 mins to get my food after already ordering. The lunch special deal is good one.“

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

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

“Needed something warm and soupy for the rainy day. Find this spot on a whim and I gotta say I'm so dang lucky I decided to eat here. I ordered the rattan noodles and they were deliciously spicy. I usually eat medium to low spice but this was perfect. I'm a new fan!“

“Let me just start off by saying the service here it’s outstanding!! It was my first time trying ramen and the cashier was very friendly and helped me with choosing my first meal. The food was very tasty and fresh! I will definitely come back again!“

“A place that inspires nostalgia. I saw a couple of kids in there doing homework and people in the area going there for some lunch or early dinner. The kids art on the wall was so sweet and it really made the place feel like home. The soup was so fragrant and I could easily change my noodles for something I wanted. I love this style of noodle, I got the knife cut and it was so chewy, and the beef was so tender I could pull it apart with my chopsticks. I recommend this spot if you’re in the area. Because it was a lot slower I was sitting at the booth with an empty bowl for a minute, but since I wasn’t in a rush I didn’t mind at all.
I recommend the b7 (or d7 I can’t remember) in their house specialties. The broth was delicious!“

“The best place in Dtla! Ask for Hiro, he was super amazing and kept our drinks full!“

“Really good ramen! All of their sides are delicious, but the shishito peppers are a must-try. I also love that they have both vegan and non-vegan options, so there's something for everyone. The staff is super friendly and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“A cozy and homey casual noodle restaurant. They serve classic comfort food and have decent portions and good value. Simple menu and delicious food that is satisfying. The noodles came with lots of meat and was well seasoned. The interior is very clean and the staff are friendly. No credit cards under $25, but they take Venmo and Zelle.“

“I’m so happy I found this place! The menu has so many delicious options, it was hard to choose. I ended up trying the Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio and Com Bo Luc Lac , and wow, they were both incredible! the spring rolls crispy, and the beef was tender and flavorful. Everything felt fresh and full of authentic Vietnamese flavor. On top of that, the staff were so friendly and welcoming, it really made the whole meal even better. Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!“

“This is absolutely our favorite go to restaurant whenever we visit LA. A must stop for us. Living in CA and then moving to MN, we always crave for the noodles here. We visit every 2-4 years and the soups and noodles have always been consistent. The flavors are truly astonishing! We took my parents to visit last week again, and we stopped there 3X! A few days later back at home in MN and we are craving the soups already! Would definitely recommend this place.“

“my family took me to celebrate father's day to this place . first let me tell you the food is better then din tai fung and cheaper. if you looking to explore another place to eat you must try coming here. the restaurant is small place to seat down we waited 45 minutes to seat but it worth it ..“

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

“very good noddles .and service very respectfully.“

“Surprisingly bountiful and delicious.

The style is from Lanzhou, China. Particularly in the Gansu Province, where once the Silk Road ran along the only major city through which the Yellow River runs. Traditional hand-pulled noodles with a variety of offerings and flavors. A favorite is their house special, Beef Noodle. This differs from other Chinese variations with a clear type of broth and choice of spice levels offered here. There is also a focus on Halal meats.

Lamb is also a regional favorite; if you choose this, you should be pleasantly surprised.

There are also a number of side dishes of vegetables, Beef Rolls, and a most lovely order of steamed dumplings.

The service is good with their limited staff at times. There are many take-away orders, which is often a sign that there are more customers who appear. Parking is plentiful in this shopping plaza, making this a great choice to catch a movie and a nice meal.“

“Great place to dine at for authentic Cantonese food. Rice rolls were wonderful and at a bargain price! Overall food and service was nice and very comforting. Ingredients tasted fresh and wasn’t overly salted (just how I prefer). Will come back again to try different rice roll options.“

“your wonton wraps were flexible and easy to shape. they hold together wonderfully when boiling, taste great and have a good mouth-feel. they are top notch. Imagine my disappointment when I tried to use your gyoza wraps; some too dry to use; many were stuck to the one next to it (NOT an easy peel). the combination of too dry and stuck-together made for a lot of torn wraps, necessitating that I patch them together using scraps of ones that didn't stay in one piece in order to finish making the gyoza. Such wildly different quality makes me wonder if I got unlucky with the gyoza wraps, or lucky with the wonton wraps.“

“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!“

“We had the **Crab Roe Noodles** and the **Crab Soup Dumplings**, and both were absolutely worth ordering.

The **Crab Roe Noodles** were rich, buttery, and packed with umami. The crab roe coated every strand of noodle beautifully, creating a silky texture without feeling overly heavy. You could really taste the quality of the ingredients.

The **Crab Soup Dumplings** were equally impressive. The wrapper was delicate, and each dumpling was filled with a flavorful, savory broth and a generous amount of crab. Every bite was comforting and satisfying.

The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, the service was friendly, and the food felt thoughtfully prepared. If you're a fan of crab or Shanghainese cuisine, Auntie Qiu Kitchen is definitely a place I'd recommend. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!“

“Love their selections of foods not too much not less just right and not complicated. My tummy is full and happy soul 😊“

“I had to update my review because this place just got a serious glow-up! They finally got rid of those old picnic-style checker tablecloths, and the dining room looks so much more upscale and sleek now.

We came in for dinner with a group and ordered one of their set menus for 6 people. It's honestly an incredible deal, it comes with a whole Peking duck and a bunch of great dishes, including the shrimp with vermicelli, beef in soup, broccoli, salad, sweet and sour pork ribs, and a 6-item appetizer platter. The food tasted fantastic, though the portion sizes for the set felt a little light for 6 fully grown adults. To make sure everyone was full, we added an order of their famous braised noodles with pork ribs, which absolutely hit the spot.

The service was highly impressive and completely matches the new elevated vibe of the restaurant. We had such a great experience that we’re actually coming back again next week for a birthday celebration. Highly recommend checking out their new look!“

“this definitely deserves the michelin recommendation. every piece of meat was so tender and every dish was just so flavorful. i really liked the braised beef noodles. it had a cilantro taste and the bok choy was so soft. my family really liked the texture of all of the noodles - especially the fried ones. the scallion pancakes were very good and the food came very quickly. the staff are very nice and the water hits hard 😁. definitely come here“

“A WONDERFUL RESTAURANT - THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS , THE PORTION SIZE WAS LARGE AND THE WOMAN SERVER WAS VERY KIND AND PLEASANT - AN EXTRA PLUS INEXPENSIVE PARKING WAS ADJACENT TO THE GOLDEN TREE . LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING BACK AGAIN .“

“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!!“

“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.“

“the restaurant is super clean. If you show up thinking you're going to order Orange chicken, Broccoli beef, kung pao chicken or any of that chinese fast food then this is not the place for you. BUT if you're looking for some delicious mouth watering dumplings cooked in various forms then you're at the CORRECT place. I brought my mom here and we tried the pork chive regular dumplings, the pan fried beef and cumin dumplings and the regular fried rice. All of it was delicious. Also they give you a complimentary bowl of egg drop corn soup. NOT a small bowl but a good size portion, it was GOOOOOD. I will definitely be back with the rest of the family and I want to try the beef noodle soup. DON'T fall asleep on the fried rice.“

“I enjoyed this place a lot. It was a little bit hard to find at first, as it is located above the supermarket. The server was very friendly, helping me to find a good vegetarian option. The cold sesame noodles were tasty and refreshing, and the price is not bad ($8.99). The dining area is spacious and comfortable.“

“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.“

“The dumplings are so good!!“

“Prince Dumpling really impressed me. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food came out fast and fresh. The standout for me was the sky‑high beef cubes—perfectly seasoned, tender, and easily my favorite dish of the night.

The whole experience felt smooth and enjoyable, and I’d definitely come back to try more of the menu. One tip for anyone visiting: wear long sleeves. The AC runs cold, so you’ll enjoy the meal a lot more if you’re not freezing.

Overall, great food, great service, and a spot worth returning to.“

“I highly recommend! I brought my 10 year old that's not vegan or vegetarian and he was upset until he tried the food. He loved everything that I ordered! Great friendly service! Great portions at a great price with amazing flavor! I will definitely be back! I highly recommend the lemongrass chicken and duck soup 🍲“

“Lu Yi Xian is located in what looks like a office building. At first there looks like there's very limited parking (the entrance is on the north side on Valley Blvd), but there's actually more parking underground.

The main dining room is a bit small, but they have a secondary adjacent dining room. Not sure how large as I didn't go in there. The vibe is very mom and pop, clean, with some fun simple decorative touches.

The food however is the main standout of this place, especially the Beef Noodle. It's deliciously savory, slightly sweet and not the usual salt bomb that most noodle soups tend to be. The noodles are springy and have great bite, like al dente pasta. The vegetables are fresh, not overcooked. And the beef...oh the beef! It's wonderfully seasoned and braised until its silky and tender. Plus you get a very healthy portion of it. This is the main reason you should come here.

I also recommend the Tofu Skin with Cilantro. It's fragrant, simple, fresh and satisfying. If you order the potstickers, be warned that you get four but they are much much larger than most places. I ended up taking them to go.

All and all this place is well worth the price. It's not a super fancy place, but the food is fantastic.“
