Noodles near South Gate, CA

“My spot for years. Great place, good food, excellent service. The party trays are a good deal, and they will make it on the spot with no more than 15 minutes of wait time. I always get orange chicken, beef, broccoli, chow mein, and fried rice. Steam rice and teriyaki chicken, sweet and sour pork, and green beans are also very tasty.“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“We had minced pork on rice, beef noodle soup, Dan Dan noodles, basil eggplant, pork belly bun, shaved ice and dou hua.
Overall, the food is pretty good. With some fine tunes, it can be closer to the yummy level of food in Taiwan, like some red beans in dessert are still hard, Dou Hua is too dry and needs some liquid or shaved ice to go with it, traditional shaved ice is too sweet though I like it much better than Korean style shaved ice, and brown rice is too hard. Service is good. Staff is nice. The atmosphere is relaxing and comfortable. Order at the counter, self service for water, extra bowls and utensils.
We live in the west side, and we will come back to try other stuff on the menu.“

“very tasty chicken. great customer service. highly recommend. prices good as well.“

“I was in Osaka (Japan) and tried takoyaki there...and I want to say that the takoyaki in this restaurant is top notch!!! Maybe even tastier than they were in Japan back then 🥰

I really liked the beautiful presentation and, of course, the incredible taste! 🐙

Plus, while I was waiting for my dish, I saw a huge portion of ramen at the next table 🍜
I immediately wanted to try it, so I will definitely come back again!

I would also like to note that it’s cozy inside + it smells delicious. The staff is very nice and friendly ✨“

“Wow! There's a reason why this restaurant is so popular! The food is delicious and served family style. The staff is very kind. We were 6 with 2 in wheelchairs, and they sat us promptly so they didn't have to be out in the >90 degree heat. Atmosphere is comfortable and bustling.

We ordered the popcorn chicken, soup dumplings, beef roll, spicy wonton appetizers. Fijian vermicelli noodles, fried beef upon, shrimp fried rice, spicy fish & rice noodle soup with pickled veg... we'd happily order everything again!“

“Had a great experience at MIAN and am already thinking about coming back and eating here again. The Szechuan style of food they sell here is what makes it stand out as it is not very common in other Chinese food places in the area.

I had the Chengdu noodles that come with ground pork and bok choy and a side of popcorn chicken. The noodles were great. I have no complaints. When mixed in with the sauce, they can get quite spicy, and this is coming from someone who ordered the medium level (there are three spice levels in total), but it is still an enjoyable spice that mixes well with the food. Additionally, the popcorn chicken was also really good, the pieces were nice and big and the chicken was crispy.

I had ordered some mustard sauce on the side with my chicken. When the waiter brought the chicken over, he did not bring the sauce. So I flagged him down and asked him to bring it over, but he did not understand what I was asking for. It seemed like English was not really his first language. He ended up calling his coworker on the phone and had me explain to her what it is I wanted which she then was able to translate to him. After this, he brought over the sauce lol. I just wanted to say that I thought it was funny the way he was so determined to figure out what it is I wanted but I also really appreciate his dedication. I didn’t get his name but I send him my thanks.

What I liked about the ordering process here is that you just sit down and scan a QR code. You can order pretty much immediately and the food didn’t take long to come out. It was a Wednesday afternoon though so that might be why; the restaurant was not very full.“

“It is super delicious Chinese food. the owner, they are all traditional Chinese. The food is great.

I continuously come in three days. All the different foods. They are really great. And my kids love it.

We finish all the food. “

“This is a newly opened restaurant, so the environment inside the store is very clean and the furniture looks new. There are not too many choices on the menu. The Hainanese Chicken Rice is very tasty, but the chicken is slightly less umami. The Bamboo Shoots and Chicken Soup Noodles have a sweet soup base, which is worth a try.“

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

“Good food and fast service.“

“The store does not use an online platform, so please do not order food on the online platform. This time, after ordering on qmenu, I went to the site and said that they did not cooperate with the platform. Fortunately, I did not pay. I ordered the Beef Knife Fried Noodles ($13.99), which can be swiped with a credit card if you spend $20 or more. There is a lot of beef and it is very tasty. The vegetables include cabbage, onions and tomatoes. Although it is a little oily, it is still quite delicious overall.“

“So strange, when I’m in Hawaii, I plan my hotel to stay next to this place, and plan
Two meals there because I love it so
Much and yet this location is never busy 🤷🏽‍♀️ last time I went in Honolulu, I waited in like for 45 min for lunch . Try this place if you haven’t“

“A random tiktok video brought me to this place, and boy, am I glad it did! I had the Rare Steak and Crunch Brisket Pho, and it was the best I've ever had. The size of the bowl is absolutely perfect. I left feeling full and very satisfied. The service was fast for a relatively full lunchtime. I am definitely coming back!“

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

“Clean, simple decor and friendly service. Was pleasantly surprised by the lunch special offered and ordered the spicy Yuzu Miso Ramen (at the server's suggestion) with a 3pc side of takoyaki. So happy with the choice!

The takoyaki wasn't drowned in mayo, the sauce was perfectly balanced, and it was genuinely some of the best I've tried in LA.

The ramen! Wow. The noodles were perfect to me. They had a good bite to them and they didn't try to slither out of my chopsticks while en route to my mouth. The meat was incredibly tender and slightly fatty, but not greasy. The broth wasn't overly salty or spicy and had a refreshing yuzu taste that didn't overwhelm the creamy miso flavor. My SIL pointed out how fresh the bamboo shoots tasted as they didn't have that vinegary tang to them that canned ones did.

I finished my bowl (something I can rarely manage) and didn't have the uncomfortable heavy feeling I've had with other miso-based ramen.

I can't wait to go back for the dinner hour and try patio dining

Kid-friendliness: It's small and quiet sit-down

Wheelchair accessibility: It's on the 1st floor,“

“Absolutely wonderful local neighborhood restaurant.
I order blind and I've always been satisfied.
Not just satisfied, but gratified!
In other words, you can't go wrong!
Good people, great food!
It's like Thai, but different. And very good.“

“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 .“

“You think about getting ramen, but you want something healthier? Try rice noodles. LuDingJi will open your world to rice noodle soup. Parking is usually plenty, just go to their underground lot. The restaurant is relatively clean. Food is served pretty instantly, so that's great news for hangry (hungry and angry ?) customers. Servers are polite and friendly too. The only complaint I have is the lighting in this restaurant is kind of dark.To order, it's 3-step to get your bowl of rice noodle goodness:1. Choose your soup base2. Choose your entree3. Choose your carbs, but really just get rice noodles! ?4. -- Side note: please get some add-ons as the dish doesn't come with many things. --Food we ordered:- Tomato soup (8/10): For those who can't eat spice, this is Really REALLY GOOD! It's not too salty, the rice noodle textures were mildly chewy and tasty. I added fatty beef and some vegetables. Overall, the portion given is plenty.- Chili Pumpkin (10/10): A little spice, but this is probably my favorite hands down! The spice has a mild sweet-sour flavor to it. I really enjoyed this.- Shou Zhua Bing (6.5/10): This is basically roti canai with meat. I actually liked the dish. I gave it a low rating because I felt like the meat was cold but I thoroughly enjoyed the roti canai!Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants to try a ramen alternative. ✨?

Parking: Parking is usually plenty, just go to their underground lot.“

“Their Gukbap is superb felt like it was different version of gukbap more spicy and different broth compared to a traditional pork based creamy broth

My friend had their cold noodles and said it was lowkey mid so not sure what’s going on there… so eat the gukbap instead. Their Jeon is great and Mandoo is great too“

“omg they have biang biang mian here. lol it was so good that I came here 3 times in 3 days, once for both lunch and dinner hahahah. do you know how hard it is to find xian biang biang noodles??? the chew and flavor of the noodles, and sauce are incredible. Get #33 with the 3 toppings and make sure you mix well. server was so friendly too“

“very good noddles .and service very respectfully.“

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

“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.“

“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 .“

“Everything we had here was fantastic! I loved the mango iced tea because it actually tastes like mangos, the chicken was nice and crunchy on the outside, juice and delicious on the inside. We also had xiao baos and their dry noodles with peanut butter sauce which were both fantastic! I would recommend against getting their devils hot sauce unless you have like an amazing spice tolerance! I thought my spice tolerance was fine because i can handle tapatio and valentina easily but this sauce left me chugging my drink and feeling the chili under my tongue for hours!“

“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.“

“Solid, Taiwanese and Chinese vegetarian and vegan classics. And a wonderful and clean atmosphere too! Love the lunch specials, the service, and the variety. The only downside is that the menu is huge! Too hard to make a decision, but the staff helped share some of their own favorites. They recommended the Taiwanese classics: popcorn basil chicken, lettuce wraps, soup noodles. And I really loved the chicken with orange peel.“

“Great great great. Have been here probably 15 times and have loved it each time but tonight I had the braised beef noodles and they're over the top. Almost too good to be true. I'm going to sleep right now so that when I wake up it will be tomorrow and I'll be hungry again so I'll go back.“

“A must. So delicious. Can't wait to go back!! Thank goodness for friends that share food stories. �“

• Tang Siu Yuk (sweet & sour pork): Delicate batter, bold pineapple-sweet sauce, and juicy pork. A must-try!
• Fried Dumplings: Crispy perfection. Mix soy sauce, vinegar, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for an unforgettable dipping sauce.

“First time every eating in a restaurant on a styrafoam plate, but it didn't take away from my meal. Tried out their noodles with beef and I found it to be quite tasty with the sauce. Small simple little place, tempted to return for their breakfast and evening specials“

“i absolutely love this place. The owners are super sweet and the food is DDDEEELLISSHH!“

“after eating here, i'm starting to understand how LA/SGV works... you gotta pay for a big meal, sit down, 'n enjoy. It's not a hustle 'n bustle snack on-the-way city.

I expected to eat the self-serving vegetables 'n rice, but that seems to have a door of it's own for take-out..?? then I tried to order a sandwich, but they were out.. maybe out of bread..? then i gave in and ordered a big meal, a soup: combination with yellow noodle.

amazing. simple. jam packed with all sorts of tofu and mushrooms. It's enough for two people. And then the lady gave out little dessert cups, like a green mung bean soup, on a hot day. this is one of them joints.“

“Do you ever wish you were two people so you could eat twice as much? Well after visiting here... I sure do. Got soup dumplings (superb) steamed pork dumplings, cucumber salad, beef in a crispy wrapping whose name I am forgetting, and red bean dumplings. Everything was exquisite.“

“The Pho is enough for 2 people and it's delicious! We have had both the chicken and the Wagu beef. Also, the rice plates with fried rice and either Wagu beef or spicy pork is really good. We get one of each (Pho and rice plate) and share. We are quite full and satisfied when we finish! And the prices are very reasonable.“

“I absolutely love, love, loooooove this family friendly jewel. Starting with the food first ?, there is an abundance of everything even if it's a plate order for one person. The broth is clean, the ingredients are incredibly fresh, and the flavors do NOT stop with mmmmmm?. Your meal experience, will result in you leaving with a happy and full belly. I've even seen some family that brought children, with excitement for the food here and kids can be picky. The service is quick, communication is clear, and the restaurant team is friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The staff, all work really hard together, to keep their customers consistently happy. They go above and beyond here, to make sure your experience is a full and comfortably wholesome one. The atmosphere is unforgettably clean like their pho broth?, there is more than enough space to keep to yourself or enjoy your company in your own bubble together with your meals. They also have outside seating, for those who prefer fresh air to themselves. I would NOT sleep on this place, if I were you. Plenty of parking, and walking distance to public transportation for those who are not personally mobile. I highly recommend this place, to anyone looking for tasty and clean pho options.“

“Small ramen place among several Japanese businesses in Torrance.
We were a family of 4. 2 kids and us parents all of us are vegan.
We ordered vegan gyoza and the 2 vegan ramen they had. The food is great even if the vegan options were limited.
The service felt rushed and the lady who attended us was curt/rude. We had to ask for bowls, cutlery, napkins and everything else.
The other lady was nicer.“

“The staff here are very friendly and welcoming. The place wasn’t busy, and the service was impressively fast. I ordered the Buffalo Ranch Mac and the Pad Thai to go, and both were ready within 10 minutes. The food was tasty and fresh—definitely a great spot if you’re looking for a quick, quality meal to take out. Highly recommended!“

“My brother and I went to Pho Hoan Pasteur with high expectations as they had high ratings on Yelp.
He ordered the regular sized steak and tendon pho. He found one piece of tendon in the entire bowl, so he was disappointed. The taste of the pho broth was just OK... not the best, nor the worst he's ever had.
I had the grilled shrimp bun and it came with two egg rolls. I was disappointed as rice noodles were all broken. It felt as though the bowl was filled with the rice noodle scraps at the bottom of the bag. The fish sauce wasn't remarkable either. I added lime juice and samba.
We tried it. We probably won't return.“

“The best taste ever. Real Koreans, go here.
It's so, so, so delicious, and I haven't been able to get my mouth full since I ate this place from Korea. I'm sure there's no such delicious malatang anywhere in the world, not even in mainland China. It's so delicious that I wonder if something was really done to the soup, and it's so addictive that I'll be eating it for a week. I think about it three times. Please, please drink it. Please.“

“Great service awesome food A+“

“my go to Thai place in LA“

“A no frills dumpling house. Staff is friendly and attentive, food is fresh and delicious.

Great for large groups or solo

Wheelchair accessibility: Very easy to navigate if mobility is a challenge. Wide open floor.“

“Nem Nướng Khánh Hoà is widely praised for its authentic Vietnamese cuisine and warm atmosphere. The restaurant’s specialty is nem nuong cuon, a dish of grilled pork meatballs wrapped in rice paper and served with fresh herbs and vegetables. The dish stands out for its flavorful, fresh grilled pork and the crunchy texture of the accompanying ingredients“

“Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — Hae Ha Heng Thai Bistro nails it with both their Pad Thai and Papaya Salad.

The Pad Thai is perfectly stir-fried with tender chicken, chewy rice noodles, and a rich, balanced sauce. Topped with crisp bean sprouts, shredded carrots, and a lime wedge for a fresh kick.

The Papaya Salad is a vibrant mix of crunchy veggies, peanuts, shrimp, and that signature Thai tangy-spicy flavor. Super refreshing and visually stunning!

Both dishes are a delicious blend of tradition and presentation. Highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Pad See Ew is delicious! 🤤 their Thai tea is great too!!!“

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

“🍜 Chinatown’s Comfort Corner – A Humbling Noodle Experience at Kim Chuy

Kim Chuy is an unassuming treasure that overdelivers on flavor, warmth, and tradition. It’s the kind of local gem that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in—generous servings, authentic Chinese comfort food, and a no-frills vibe that feels just like home.

We started with the wonton egg noodle soup and a side of fried leeks. The soup? Not just good—it was built for noodle lovers. The broth was rich, the noodles perfectly textured, and the flavors so soothing that conversation at the table paused. It was a quiet appreciation of something humble and deeply satisfying, a true noodle moment that lifts your mood without saying a word.

We also ordered the broccoli beef chow mein, and I wish we’d snapped a photo before we dove in. The vegetables were crisp, fresh, and infused with garlic and savory chow mein notes. It’s not your typical fast-food-style dish—this is home-style, family cooking done right. Every bite reminded me of meals made with care, meant to be enjoyed and remembered.

Kim Chuy even offers pre-made leeks you can take home and cook—perfect for sharing, and trust me, they’ll go fast. Whether you’re a lifelong local or exploring Chinatown for the first time, Kim Chuy is a soul-satisfying stop that brings joy to noodle enthusiasts and food lovers alike.“
