Noodles near Santa Ana, CA

“Authentic and Flavor-Packed Biang Biang Noodles!

Six Alley is a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Chinese comfort food, especially their signature Biang Biang noodles. The noodles are hand-pulled to perfection—thick, chewy, and with just the right bite. Each dish is bursting with flavor, whether you go for the classic chili oil version or something more hearty like the cumin lamb or tomato & egg toppings.

The spice level is bold but balanced, and the ingredients taste super fresh. Portions are generous too, making it great value for money. I also loved the casual vibe of the place—clean, cozy, and with quick service.

If you’re looking to try real-deal Xi’an-style noodles, this place should be at the top of your list. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“Sashimi and rolls were SUPER fresh and you can tell by the vivid colors of the tuna in the pictures. I’ve tried sushi all over to include Japan, and this restaurant is an amazing find for quality, freshness and value. I can’t wait to go back many times and try the rest of their menu, or order their catering platters. Great job Koco Sushi!“

“Excellent Food! Nice staff.“

“Good food, good price and friendly servers. Family own. Recommend this restaurant when you want to have noodles soup for your meal.“

“I ordered 6 mix grill trays for my birthday, and honestly, they were some of the most delicious and impressive food I’ve ever had. The taste was incredible, and the presentation was done with great care and detail. All my friends were amazed by the flavor and asked where I got them from! طلبت ٦ صواني مشكّلة لعيد ميلادي، وكانت بصراحة من أروع وألذّ الأطباق اللي جربتها في حياتي. الطعم كان خرافي والتقديم في منتهى الدقة والجمال. كل أصحابي انبهروا بالطعم وسألوني من اين طلبتها!“

“New owner for about 1 year made major improvements for food and services in this small place with about 12 tables. It's nice, clean, bright, pleasant, smelling neutral.

We got in about noon a Sunday. Most tables were already taken. Half hour later about 10 people were waiting outside for seats. So they did something right and the place is popular.

We ordered a Bun Bo Hue Special with extra rare beef $14.95 and a Banh Canh Tom Cua central taste, $14.95, 2 hot teas $1 each.

BBH's broth is a rich, tasty bone stock, nice, clear with the tastiness of fermented shrimp paste without the odor, not too sugar sweet and not overspiced. There was barely a hint of lemon grass. a tub of satay is at the table to customize spiciness to taste. So far this is the most balanced and best BBH's broth I found in So Cal and No Cal.

There was generous meats, extra rare beef, shank, a few small bites of tendon, 2 cubes of blood curl, a large slice of pork butt, a chunk of pork ball and a chunk of short rib. No pork trotter was served, which is my preference. The meats were cooked to my preferred chewiness. I would skip the rare beef and short rib in next orders. I finished the soup and wish the bowl was bigger.

This is by far the closest to the best home-made BBH I had in central Vietnam. In comparison, for the same price, Ngu Binh serves a larger bowl by about 50% with more protein and tastier broth, but the broth is greasy and way over spiced.

Banh Canh Tom Cua has clear crab broth, fresh and tasty but a little too sweet for my taste.

The wait staff is courteous and efficient. They gave us a small cup of soy bean dessert, tasted good.

I wish the owner would add an option for a supersized bowl 50% larger. This place would be my second choice for BBH after Ngu Binh.“

“Fast services and decent price.“

“For years I've wondered about this spot, especially since it had good reviews, it was close to home, and it's been around for awhile. I was disappointed that I couldn't order a combo meal, where you get 2 different dishes with a side of rice and noodles, just like most chinese fast food places. Sad to say but I was not to impressed with the taste of the food. It wasn't horrible, it just wasn't that great and not good enough for me to go back. Service was great and food came out fast.“

“Hard to beat for the price, comes with all the traditional bits of beef you expect but most places skip out on, and very filling. Do not order the XL pho if you're not actually hungry, lmao. It's a high output kitchen so the consistency is on point.“

“Love this place. First time here. Super authentic legit Soba / Udon place. All hand crafted. Chicken Tempura Curry Udon / Shabu Shabu Spicy Udon / Classic Tempura Udon. All fantastic. Does justice to our 10yrs in Japan. Wish we lived closer to here. But will mos def. Shout out to Scarlett, my number one fan for reading this ;-)“

“Paradise Dynasty – Truly a Dumpling Lover's Paradise! We absolutely love Paradise Dynasty in Costa Mesa and have been there at least once a month for past few months — it's hands down our family's favorite spot for dumplings! The variety here is incredible, especially for anyone who loves flavor and options. From the moment you sit down, you're welcomed with a menu full of creative dumpling choices that go way beyond the usual. As vegetarians, we're used to seeing just one veggie dumpling option on most menus — but not here! Paradise Dynasty is truly a paradise for vegetarians. There are tons of delicious veggie options, and each one tastes unique and flavorful. It's so refreshing to actually have variety! The noodles are just as impressive — each noodle dish has its own distinct flavor and personality. From spicy to savory to rich and comforting, you can really taste the difference in every bite. Nothing feels repetitive or bland. Our kids adore this place — it's their go-to dumpling restaurant. They always look forward to ending the meal with the warm, gooey chocolate lava buns (a must-try!). And for the grown-ups, the mango pudding is the perfect way to wrap up the meal — light, smooth, and just the right amount of sweetness. If you're a dumpling fan — especially a vegetarian one — this place is a dream. We'll definitely keep coming back again and again! Also the service is great and servers actually pay attention and come check on you. Definitely recommend!“

“I'm really impressed with this restaurant. Not only is the food delicious, but the atmosphere is also very pleasant. The Beef Stew I tried yesterday was extremely flavorful, but what I liked most was the enthusiastic and friendly service.“

“Good food and interesting service!...

Roaming around Irvine searching for somewhere to eat with something soupy and warm, my girlfriend and I came across this place. We joined the Yelp waitlist and once it was our turn to be seated we went inside.

Once inside, we waited in another line to get to the check-in kiosk which was a little inconvenient since it cause a crowd of people to awkwardly wait inside by the front door. I feel it would have made more sense to place it outside of the restaurant. The host, or at least the person at the register for the to-go orders, was stressed and it was very obvious. She was visibly in a hurry and talked extremely fast and seemed to be running out of breath. The one server (at the time) was also walking around stressed and at times was visibly upset with that person. The restaurant wasn't full, but the seating on both sides were taken. The long table that runs in the center was completely empty. Well, empty until we came. We got seated at the long table.

Any who, the food is what you want to know about! I ordered the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup/Rice Noodle Soup and the Beef Roll Pancake. It didn't take long to get the food, maybe 10 minutes at most.

How was it?

- Spicy Beef Noodle Soup/Rice Noodle Soup: Chunks of beef shank, kale, pickled veggie, cilantro, and green onions. Between standard round and knife cut noodles, I went with the knife cut noodles well... because my girlfriend chose it haha. It was a good choice though, they were wide noodles and hit the spot. The meat was good, decent sized chunks and very tender. The soup was tasty and had a good kick to it.

- Beef Roll Pancake: Beef, green onions, cilantro, and hoisin sauce. These things were huge. Plenty of greens in each of them. I've had beef roll pancakes at other places and wasn't a fan of how sweet they were. The ones here though, are just the way I like it. Not overloaded with sauce and not heavily sweet. These were good.

Plenty of parking everywhere in the lot, though I can see it getting more full later in the night. We came around 6PM and didn't have a problem finding a spot.

Service was OK. Even with the limited interaction that I had with the stressed out workers, it got me feeling stressed as well!

I'd come back for the food :).“

“The best pork chop I have ever had! Great atmosphere and kind staffs too I will definitely visit again 👍🏼“

“James is so courteous and went out of his way to provide excellent service to my boyfriend and I on our date night. The dining area is clean and comfortable. Most notably, the broth is prepared for over 10 hours, which makes the pho exceptionally flavorful. This is our new favorite neighborhood spot!“

“My friend brought me to this restaurant, and I didn't know what to order because the menu was a delightful surprise, filled with a rich and diverse selection of dishes. The staff highly recommended the lomo saltado-it was an explosion of flavors❤️?“

“I was here on a rainy day last week and can say how this lab curated the most nourishing pho broth I’ve ever tasted! Ever in the Huntington Beach area? Give it a try! Lifted my mood and gave my body back some life. The banh mi was also great - fresh crunchy bread with a soft inside filled with freshly cooked yummies! Enjoy 👩🏻‍🍳“

“I really like the service that I got there they really care about their customers and I do really appreciate that a hole lot . Thank you for awesome service and great food .“

“Great food. I'll definitely be back!“

“The food was delicious, and their service was fast and friendly. We stopped here in the way to Santa Ana airport. We had the spam musubi, beef fried rice, hot and dry noodles, sauteed string beans, shrimp and pork dumplings in chili oil, sesame balls and one other dumpling that I can't remember the name of. Everything was so good,“

“I’ve heard about Pho 79 being one of the best pho in OC. After finding Phoholic broth too sweet, I decided to try Pho 79, and it did not disappoint!
We arrived around 10:30 on a Saturday and waited around 20mins for our table.
We ordered a large pho, grilled pork with broken rice, and fried spring rolls.
I found the pho broth to be well balance just slightly too greasy for me but not a big issue at all! We weren’t offered noodle option so I’m assuming there is only one noodle option?
The fried spring rolls were decent but I think I’ve had better? This dish didn’t really stand out too much, and I will not order again next time I visit.
The grill pork with broken rice was pretty standard, tasted good but I think I’ll try something else or stick with pho for my next visit.
Paying for our meal was a bit confusing? I wasn’t sure if they would bring check over to table, but seems like others would go up to counter and pay so I just did that. It is cash only which is a bit inconvenience but I came prepared!
Will definitely come back for more pho if I’m in the area!“

“I don’t claim to be a connoisseur in Asian cuisine. I do like fresh, variety, spices, sauces and appreciate courteous efficient service. My second visit. Was not disappointed. The wait to be seated is long. Would not have waited but one person in our group was visiting from out of state and insisted.“

“Best Raman in United States hands down!!! Make sure u add Black garlic and hot spicy sauce“

“Service is wonderful. Everyone is friendly. It’s like going to my Obason’s to have dinner. Everything about this place is authentically Okinawan. Oishī“

“Tried this place a few days ago, ended up going there 2 days in a row! First visit I tried their Crispy Chicken Sandwich with Extra Hot sauce and fries, and it was a hooting delightful! Next I tried their Garlic Parmesan wings - ordered extra so I could put them in fridge to eat later. Very high quality food!“

“Awesome“

“It is the best Thai street food in Town. The best Sevice, Friendly Stuff and best Chef. I ordered Crab fried rice, Ku Moo Yang, and crispy belly Kra pow, Banana Grandma, Meatloaf salad. And Mango sticky Rice. They were good like the name of the restaurant! Say Yum! I recommend!!“

“It was my first time there and I was recommended a combination pho for all of us. An explained to me all the ingredients in there and how to pick the noodles. We went with the big flat fresh noodles. It was delicious. There was only one size and I couldn't finish it, but for the price of $14.50, it was really worth it. The waitress even offered to take a picture for our family, I love the food and the service here. She also recommended me the other locations of phoholic, westminster and stanton. I will definitely try the other two locations.“

“Food itself was excellent with their tasty broth and tender meats. The udon noodles were amazing all around. The soup dumplings are a must try also with the pork inside being so savory. The service itself was very quick and using a self ordering kiosk is very easy and honestly convenient. Atmosphere wise the whole place is small so it creates a cozy vibe while you chow down on some awesome food. 10/10 will be coming back after our next disneyland trip.“

“Pretty good ramen and sushi. Our group ordered the tonkotsu black and spicy miso ramen. Both were very flavorful and filling. We also order the salmon bento box and chicken katsu with curry. Both the bento boxes were good, but katsu seemed a little dry. It's better with the curry, but I wouldn't order it again. The sushi was great. We got the baked salmon roll and crunch fire roll. Both were fresh and delicious! I would come back to try the other ramen.“

“Good place for lunch and dinner“

“Tasty ramen, fresh sushi, and quick service
I liked the broth in their ramen — super flavorful and comforting. The California roll was fresh and hit the spot. I also tried the cream wonton; it was just okay, but came out really hot, straight from the kitchen.

The place was busy, but service was fast and smooth. Everyone was friendly, and the food didn’t take long to come out.

Overall, a solid spot if you're craving good ramen with some fresh sides. Would come back for the broth for sure.“

“Great noodle house. Many locations. Authentic food“

“Went for an early dinner on Tuesday. I was surprised to find a brand new AYCE menu option at the Garden Grove location. It is $24 and available all day. There is a lot of ramen, appetizers and sushi rolls to choose from.

I had the tonkatsu black ramen which had a lot of toppings. The noodles were chewy and bouncy. The broth was fantastic. I also had the tonkatsu miso ramen. Just as delicious and recommend both.

For appetizers I recommend the grilled gyoza, the shrimp tempura and the egg rolls. The char is the grilled gyoza took it to another level for me. The tempura is crispy and not oily at all. The egg rolls were crispy and filled with flavorful vegetables.

For sushi rolls I got a California roll, a Dragon roll, an OMG roll and spam musubi. The rolls are all really packed with ingredients and all fresh and delicious. The spam musubi is really thick cut. I recommend all of them.

The AYCE MENU is only available at the Garden Grove location and I cannot wait to go back and try more options.“

“It was yummy and fast. Everything was fresh and clean“

“My Vietnamese coworker took me here recently. Had the Crab and Shrimp Udon (#2) - OMG it was AMAZING. Very tasty, packed with seafood, and broth was awesome. He got the Pork and Beef bowl (#1) and said really good too. Would return.“

“What can you ask for more than a legit Pho with very amazing spicy paste? This place probably is the best Pho around town. Their Shaken Beef with fried rice paper is amazing. Would love to see them brining back the Pan Fried Egg noodles with seafood. Please keep up the good work.“

“Ever After Tea Room really impressed us! We tried the beef noodle soup, Thai Basil fried rice, rib eye, and salmon entrées, and each dish was absolutely delicious. The broth in the noodle soup was rich and comforting, the fried rice had bold flavors, and the entrées were perfectly cooked and well-seasoned.

We also treated ourselves to the matcha red bean bingsoo with taro, and wow — it was so light, fluffy, and not too sweet. Exactly what we were craving! The real taro drink was another standout — made with actual taro chunks and red beans. It tasted so fresh and creamy, nothing artificial at all.

The staff was kind and attentive, and the decor is super cute and cozy. It’s also a great study spot with plenty of outlets and comfy seating. Definitely a new favorite for both food and vibes!“

“Broth is great Staff is very helpful & Vibe is great 8.5“

“Best pho I ever had! Clean place. At 1230am, this restaurant was still packed.“

“Hello Everyone Out There That LOVES great taste & flavorful authentic Vietnamese Asian Cuisine!!!☺️ My daughter & I were referred by my wonderful Optometrist who has been a fan of Pho Vina for over 20 years of family, quality & delicious dishes & their soul soothing PHO!!🍜 Simply the BEST!! Greeted with friendly smiles & warm hospitality, I could eat there everyday and almost do!! 🤗 And the price is right! All The BEST, to Pho Vina & blessings to your family!!☀️

Brandy😃“

“Food was so delicious recommended for who hasn’t tried it , and great service as well my first time. I would come back, but I’m too far. I’m from San Antonio Texas. Thumbs up 👍 👍“

“Nice little place. I was looking for something different from the normal ramen or pho for dinner. I have had jjambbong at a couple of other places and they were good. This place was also good. I ordered the seafood with a rib soup dish and some dumplings. They did not disappoint. The dumplings were chicken with veggies. I put a couple in my soup and that really upped the flavor. The soup can be spicy to many and being an Asian dish it could start you on fire if not careful. I opted to try it mild and it still had some spice. It was a perfect for a cold night. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“I loved the atmosphere as soon as I entered LePho. It smelled fantastic and they were playing a playlist of songs by Cigarettes After Sex ?, my fave. The employees were very friendly and the rib eye pho I ordered was so delicious. Though it seemed rather expensive for a bowl of pho, the beef is grass fed and the broth flavor stood out compared to other pho restaurants. I will also point out that it seemed a bit greasier than it needed to be, but other than those two things, I really enjoyed my lunch there today! ?❤️“

“Cool decor! Built by owner! Must visit! Have your espresso here!“

“Super Dumpling serves halal food. We ordered Orange Chicken, Fried rice and noodles. Orange Chicken and Noodles had a great taste. Fried rice had no taste. Quite expensive and quantity is very small compared to all other halal Chinese restaurants.“

“Amazing customer service and the food a solid 10/10 ??✨ Owners are really lovely and friendly ? I went with my brother and we had a great experience and my brother it was his first time trying it. And he said he loved it and will be coming back with his friends ?“

“Wow, the taste was amazing - both the pho and the cucumber lemonade. The pho was richly and deeply flavored and was satisfying while still being bright and fresh feeling. The service was very prompt, friendly and helpful - the server understood my not liking overly sweet drinks and recommended the cucumber lemonade as refreshing while still having sweetness. It was, indeed, refreshing and sweet - perfectly balanced flavors. The server also wisely suggested we package the noodles and broth of our leftovers seperately. I almost never eat out, but I would if I lived near Soup Shop.“

“I live in the area and love going to HanaMaru sushi with my partner. We enjoy the food and the pleasant staff who always kindly greet us when we enter and leave!

They have a wide variety of rolls so there should be something for everyone. I've enjoyed all the different ones I've tried so far. For appetizers, chicken karaage and edamame are my go-to's. They do have other items on the menu that aren't sushi so if you do come with non-sushi lovers, there will still be something for them.

For parking, just be warned it might be a little difficult depending on the time of day you go as it's in a small lot that multiple businesses share. However, we've been lucky so far in usually finding a spot either at the right time or not having to wait too long before someone else leaves.“

“This lunch price is reasonable. These days, Korean food prices are way overpriced.

I went there for lunch recently for the first time in years, and the prices were the same as 7–8 years ago. The free side dishes were also delicious.

These days, dining out is so expensive that it's hard to choose a restaurant, but I think the owner made a very wise decision. When you live generously and share with others, you'll be blessed and make plenty of money.

They’ve brought back the original flavors, and the service was great too. I’ll always be happy to open my wallet for food like this. Try having a bowl of soondae soup with a shot of soju, like you see on Korean TV — it’s the true taste of Korea.

Pork soup not familiar to foreigners
Koreans often eat it and often eat it as a snack with alcohol.A clean and relatively friendly restaurant. Kimchi and Kkakdugi are delicious
It is a food very closely related to Korean culture.“
