Noodles near Santa Monica, CA

“Arrived near closing time but decided to try it. There was metered street parking a short distance from the place. Located in Santa Monica (Montana Ave.) it was small but cozy. The owner was welcoming as I entered. I ordered the shrimp & pork spring rolls and the Pho Ga (shredded chicken). Definitely a bit too much food but I was satisfied with everything. I would definitely stop by again to try their Banh Mi or Bowls.“

“Fantastic food from the scallion pancake, seaweed and tofu salad, fried rice, sautéed broccoli, and the most stand out - the Dan mein noodles. All of this was a perfectly filling meal for two people.

The service is fantastic and Mason was the best server we could ask for. So friendly, helpful, and kind.

Worth a stop in if you’re in the area. They get pretty busy at peak times so worth coming a little before or after the main lunch and dinner rushes.“

“Best Pasta in Los Angeles!🤤😋🍝🍷“

“This was fantastic!!!!!!!!! For money, what an amazing value! I didn’t expect any quality when I saw kiosk but was pleasantly surprised of the appetizers - pork buns and crispy rice thing. It’s comparable to what you get at a fancy name Asian restaurants.“

“Lots of vegan options“

“I feel like im back sitting in thailand at the little metal tables they have.
Food is excellent and hardy portions. I got the spicy mint noodle, fresh spring rolls, and the coconut all under 30 dollars. The reason for a 4/5 for food -- the tofu in the vegetable rolls was a little softer than what i like, but that could be personal preference.
Service was also lovely! Very helpful staff that answered all questions that I had about flavor profiles and preferences“

“We stopped by for a quick coffee and a banmi sandwich and were blown away by the quality and taste. The Vietnamese coffees are incredible and the sandwich was better than I remember on my visit to Hanoi. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere inside quite nice and now I know why this place is always packed! Want to come back for the noodle soup which look amazing.“

“We loved the authentic noodles and warm hospitality. Our lovely server also recommended me to drink the Tenth degree ginjo instead of regular sake, which I liked a lot.“

“The service was very friendly and accommodating, happy to adjust the order to my specifications which I always love. I was the only one at the restaurant and The order came very quickly. I ordered the vegetable pad Thai with no traditional broccoli, only Chinese broccoli and the order was correct and hot. I

am usually a 7 out of 10 on the American spicy scale so I ordered “medium spicy” and asked for extra but I didn’t need it, it was the perfect amount of spice for me so know it runs a bit higher on the scale.

The vegetables were clearly fresh and cooked to a light crunch. The flavor was there but I’m a bit of a tough crowd as I’ve been to Thailand and it’s difficult to find it’s equal. One thing, I’ve never seen the noodles orange like that, curious what made them that color.“

“I recently tried Kyoto Paitan Ramen last week and Curry Ramen this week at this spot. The Kyoto Paitan Ramen was good, but I was really impressed by the Curry Ramen. It wasn’t very spicy, but it was packed with flavor. I prefer thicker noodles, so I’d love to see that option next time. Overall, a great experience!“

“Good and delicious food…happy hour is great!“

“I fear that sometimes, we all give high ratings to vegan restaurants, despite their being less than great, just to be encouraging for the team. This place, however, is legit amazing. Flavorful, fresh, and a wonderful, genuine bowl of noodles. If you’re on the fence, wondering about the authenticity of all of the glowing Redwhite Boneless reviews, I would just give it a try.“

“Was craving soba on a Saturday morning and luckily found SOBAR. Soba made in house - 100% buckwheat, cooked to perfection. Some of the best soba I’ve ever had with strong but clean dipping sauces. Had an extra full serving of soba to polish off the dipping sauces. Service was as good if not greater than soba itself.“

“Phorage on Overland in Los Angeles is a great spot for a relaxed meal with a fresh take on Vietnamese cuisine. The menu has a cool mix of traditional and modern dishes that are both tasty and unique. The Pho Birria is absolutely incredible. 10/10“

“I’ve been struggling to find a decent Tonkatsu, but this one is among the best Ive had in the US. I’m not an expert in Japanese cuisine but I have been to Japan a few times an this place is within striking distance of the average tonkatsus I had there. I’ll be back when I’m in the area“

“I wish we had found this place sooner, we probably would've eaten here 3 meals a day and im not kidding.
I always order Alfredo when given the option of pastas at a new restaurant. Its my favourite pasta dish and its just what I do.
This was THE BEST ALREDO SAUCE I have ever had in my life. I had it with the gnocchi which were also very good.
My husband had a side got garlic bread- even that was fantastic and the best we've had at a restaurant. (how does one make garlic bread that good, i dont even know, but fabio does).

The service was great, the man taking our order (im assuming that was fabio but I couldn't tell you,) was so sweet.

I wish he had a restaurant so the seating wasnt just on the beach mixed with people having food from the other places near by, cause this should be its own space.

Best food we had in LA.“

“Delicious Udon and other Japanese specialties“

“I’ve had pho in about 6 different states. This was the best I’ve ever had! Bravo! You guys deserve it! Thanks for letting us visit! 🍲“

“The thick pork bone and fish soup has a deep umami flavor and a slightly smoky taste which is unique. A very good experience.“

“m/ Really good spicy awesome noodles 🍜“

“Awesome food , they’ve got great teriyaki bowls too!“

“I accidently place an order ,on line.
But unfortunately I dial the wrong Thai restaurant..I called the place and was attended by the owner . He was very polite and understood my mistake. He went ahead and cancelled my order and refunded any amount charged on my acc. I'm very thankful for that.“

“One of several new malatang places in the area, Bruin Bowl is not a large place, but they seem to have a solid selection of meats, veggies, noodles, and seafood despite their modest size. Both the bone broth and the chicken/fish maw soup bases are pretty tasty too. Excellent option if you're in the area.“

“I like this place about the food is wonderful“

“This place is legit! Every dish was delicious and flavorful. Our waitress, First, was so kind helpful. We got the veggie fried rice, tom kha soup, crying tiger beef, and sticky rice with coconut ice cream. Highly recommend, if you get the chance, come eat here. You will be happy and full!“

“I sampled their famous xiao long bao, delicious dumplings, savory fried rice and garlic string beans. Each dish was a taste experience, from the delicious dumplings in broth to the perfectly seasoned fried rice. The service is great and the atmosphere is inviting. Don't miss this place for authentic Taiwanese cuisine and unforgettable flavors. It has the taste of home.“

“They have both inside and outside seating areas. Service is great.“

“This is our go-to sushi restaurant. The food never disappoints. The service is very friendly.“

“Test its by yourself.clean foods and good service“

“Cute pho spot! Delicious food w great service! Their sweatshirt are dope too!“

“A Los Angeles tradition. been visiting since the 80s and they still have their mojo! delicious! Personal favorites noodles in peanut sauce and szechuan dumplings.“

“Very good and genuine broths. Second best ramen in Alhambra. Kosuke on Main is my favorite.“

“The best ramen in Culver City! I first had Ippudo in New York over a decade ago went it was arguable the top ramen spot in the entire city. Since then I’ve had it in Tokyo and now am so glad to have here in Culver. The Akamaru Modern is still as excellent and balanced a bowl as it’s always been.“

“When my husband and I arrived we checked in an there was an hour waiting time. We still chose to wait around patiently. We finally got called to our seats, the waitress was very friendly and explain the menu. It is hard to read the menu because the lights are super deemed. We use our phone light in order to be able to read the menu items. Overall I enjoyed my husband's company & the pasta was delicious.“

“I love Kinza. It’s a cute but no pretension type of sushi spot! Their rolls come with 10 pieces (not 8) AND you can order half size rolls even for their specialty rolls which is INCREDIBLE. Very fresh, flavorful, lots of good combos, and service is excellent.

If you can’t find parking on the street, park in the alley behind the restaurant!“

“Great customer service and delicious and flavorful food“

“Great Cantonese restaurant! My family has been coming to this restaurant for many years and the food is delicious and cooked like in Hong Kong. We had filet mignon and asparagus, sea food chow mein, Peking duck, snow pea leaf and mixed vegetables - mushroom, bok choi, fried tofu, bean sprouts, and broccoli (vegetarian dish). This place has a lot of old clientele, and tbe food is delicious.“

“Delicious home made pasta ! Friendly staff !“

“I randomly found this place when I was in the area. The restaurant itself is very cute and clean. The service was superb, we got seated right away and got our water right away. We ordered the noodles, XLB and popcorn chicken and cucumber salad. The XLB was so juicy and I didn’t expect a stream to shoot out from my mouth from the first bite into the XLB. Thankfully I didn’t hit anyone with the XLB juice. I will be back to try other dishes.“

“Been wanting to try this place for a couple years now. Glad we finally did. Excellent food, much better than any Jinya Ramen. We had a bunch of appetizers. Indeed, their Takoyaki was amazing, Howard Yang! 😍 We had 2 seasonal specials, the Spicy Crispy Shrimp Roll and the cold Tan Tan ramen. Both were fantastic, albeit a bit too spicy for me. Service is super friendly. We will definitely be back. Want to try a bunch of other things, including the hot ramens.“

“Food is superb, as is there fresh limeade.“

“Came as a solo diner and felt very welcomed, with a good meal and plenty of green tea. I tried the spicy scallop roll, albacore sushi, and sunomono salad – the fish was extremely fresh, as was the rice. A lovely spot in Brentwood for a casual dinner, slightly off the beaten path and clearly well-loved by locals!“

“This is omakase as it is meant to be. The freshest fish, prepared with care, and served in a minimalist but friendly and welcoming environment. This isn’t pretentious, place to be seen sushi, and it’s not for cool points, it’s just good people making a great meal. Given the quality of fish, it’s worth the price and then some.

They stayed open late for a 1-person party and I had just the best experience. Chef Shin is a real one, and Jun gives friendly prompt service. Best miso soup I’ve had, and the menu was well considered and perfectly executed.

It’s the kind of hole in the wall that will leave your date impressed with you, not because it’s fancy, but it’s a quintessentially Japanese omakase experience. Make a reservation, thank me later.“

“Banh Mi branches at SM Davao and Lanang superb! Great customer service. Def my new favorite eats. Love their drinks too.“

“THE BEST PHO 🍜 ever. I travel the country and I’m a good snob. This is home cooking, unique…and absolutely delicious. Please treat yourself and go!“

“GREAT COSTUMER SERVICE ON TOP OF THE ABSOLUTE DELI FOOD - VERY PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT <3“

“Niko Niko Sushi in West Hollywood delivered an outstanding experience. The beef dumplings were perfectly seasoned with a tender bite, and the baked salmon roll was rich, flavorful, and melt in your mouth delicious. Fresh ingredients, great presentation, and friendly service made the meal even better. A must-visit spot for sushi lovers craving quality and taste!“

“This was an absolutely fantastic experience, would 100% recommend to anyone, cheap, fast, delicious.
So we went here for a birthday, more or less 12 people, firstly, the cost was amazing, for the portion size that you get, and the amount of food you get, every single cent is worth it (at the same time it wasn’t expensive), the range of selection was top notch, you had everything and anything you could dream off, the server was super kind, fast, locked in, took our order, and we got our food 5 minutes later, fresh, hot, delicious.
Everyone loved their food, most took their leftovers home, others had finished, but again, portion sizes are VERY generous, so I’m not complaining even a single bit, the atmosphere overall was great as well, such a homey feeling, but at the same time you have that East Asian vibe, so they compliment each other very well.
Ultimately, if you’re a UCLA student or just anyone looking to eat East Asian food, this place has to be your go-to, number 1, top of the list, I seriously cannot hype it enough, it was incredible, and I would recommend to everyone.“

“The best pasta anywhere with a nice cozy atmosphere. Fresh food prepared in front of you.“

“My first time visiting this hidden gem on West Adams. Their bold flavors and perfect execution ranging from cold apps, to dumplings and noodle dishes.

I tried their new Kung Pao Chicken, and wow--it's a must-order. The balance of spice, crunch, and just the right amount of sweetness made it one of the best versions I've had anywhere in LA.

Of course, the classics here never disappoint. The dumplings are tender, juicy, and packed with flavor; the spicy beef noodle soup has that rich, comforting broth with just the right kick; and their fried rice is so good you could happily eat it on its own or alongside everything else. They can also adjust spice levels.

Beyond the food, the vibe at Mian really adds to the experience. Whether you're coming for a casual dinner with friends or just craving some of the best Chinese food in town, Mian delivers every time.

Highly recommend checking it out--you'll definitely want to come back again and again. extra NOM“
