The noodles somehow took over 20mins to come. So we get some appetizers. The appetizers don’t have price listed but they are pretty small (4oz) so we guessed they are under 10, but they are about 15 per container at check out..
They are cash only and will just write down price for the appetizers when you check out. Without the listing price, always make you felt maybe they can charge whatever and felt over priced. And start questioning maybe they are slow because they want you to get more appetizers. This just ruin the entire day..
beef noodle soup - delicious broth and tender seasoned beef
minced pork noodles - great noodles and flavored meat

This is a place I've wanted to go to for years, but couldn't because their hours are so strange. They open from 11:30 am-2:30 pm....and that's it.
Dai Ho has the best beef noodle I've had in the Los Angeles area. The beef was extremely tender, and the broth was very flavorful. The dan dan mian was pretty good, a good blend of creaminess and spiciness.
Parking is difficult in this plaza, they only have a couple spots available. Otherwise, you would need to find street parking.

On my to-go list for so long and finally checked it out. Happily the food lived up to its reputation. No doubt the best Taiwanese-style beef noodles I’ve had around LA - very tender meat and rich broth. The dan dan noodles were outstanding as well - so simple but delicious, wonder what’s the secret to the sesame sauce. Will come back! (P.S. cash only.)

Great beef noodle soup. Efficient and decently friendly service - a bit weird about to go boxes. Cash only.

We accidentally left my son's backpack there after lunch on Sunday. 45 mins later, I called to see if it was there. Within that time, someone had opened our bag, opened my wallet and used my credit card to buy food online at Dennys for over $100 and Wing Stop for over $30. They attempted to purchase over $800 at Walmart in Montebello and over $100 at Air Canada. Luckily, my bank reached out and froze my credit card. I filed a police report, and we went to speak to the owner on Tuesday because they are closed on Mondays. Their cameras were not working, so they coukd not share footage.. We found it strange that they do not accept credit cards, only cash. Temple City's Sheriff is aware of this incident that took place at this restaurant, and I want you to be aware too.

Read about this in such raving reviews inevitably I swung by and see it for myself. We got there at lunch time near 1p but the place closes at 2p. The first impression was that this is an absolute minimalists' dream. No menu, no decor, no utensils, no price on the wall, no sticker, no label on pre packed food. What you see is what you’d get. Plain plain furniture that Ikea should be impressed. The only menu was above the cashier, and they have the item but literally priceless. I scanned the immediate crowd of a few and thought I probably should be able to afford this place if they could… With that little bit of courage, we pointed and ordered from the board above. The house stew noodle. Looking at the display case, we spotted something weird and we ordered it because it's been a while. We got some marinated baby squids in a plastic tub. Again, priceless. Sat at the barron table equipped with disposable chopsticks we ate. The squid was good. No complaints about that but it’s an entirely acquired taste so you should think before getting it. Then the noodles arrived after a long few minutes. It has the expected fragrance of many spices combined. Presentation was good. Then do learn from my mistake, DO NOT SLURP. The spicy oil will intrude into places least suspected and cause embarrassment if not disaster toward whoever is sitting across. The hot spicy soup tasted as if I had sniffed it. It had depth, not just looking dark and floating a few bits of what would say spice. With that said, getting past not slurping took a few tries as typically noodles go down with a big slurp a la japanese ramen. Avoid such practice here. The meat was surprisingly not dry as I would say having prep the soup with depth typically killed the meat. Probably the soup and the meat met after preparation and not from the start. The noodle was with the right amount of dough density and springlyness. I don't think they made it from scratch but they know how long to cook it and keep from soaking it too long in soup or water. Everything was good. The bill showed up and it was cash only. Surprise! I don’t know why this place could have rated $10 up, the noodle was $20. The squid was $10. The tea was free but hope you like styrofoam cup. The tire company paper- Firestone or something, was on the wall. Strictly for the food. Service was ok. We needed minimal attention in such a setting because it was set up to show it won’t be any.

You know a place is good when they only have a handful of items on the menu and the food comes out fast. This place specializes in noodles and they are delicious. The hours are very limited but that doesn’t stop the crowd. Right when they open people start coming in to dine in or takeout. Portions are a bit small considering the size of the bowl and price, but overall really great.

High expectations but….low satisfaction, Way way overpriced! Restaurant standard profit are 40%, but I think this restaurant is making 95%, I feel like an idiot, buying food from there!
The food was ok but definitely not deserved the price. The place is a rip-off. One box of bamboo shoot costs $14, which you could get same thing from other restaurants for half price.

Friendly service; the food was also really good. I got the spicy sesame noodles, which had a good amount of chili oil and sesame sauce. It could have been a little spicier for me, and I might ask for "extra spicy" next time. They only take cash.
Vegetarian options: They have a few vegetarian main and side dishes.

I recently learned that this place used to be run by a husband and wife team, but their children have since taken over. Seems to have gone steeply downhill since then. Noodles and sides were extremely mid and it took over 50 minutes for the hot dishes to come out.
Taiwanese Noodle House is way better

Food was great but not the for the price. I get it, Michelin star restaurant but still, $18 for a bowl of beef stew soup. Mr.Dragon was around $13 and their food is really good too. I can accept their beef noodle at $18 ( try to compare to ramen price nowadays), but their beef strips with beancurd and onions are insane. A few beef strips, mostly onions and beancurd, small portion, I just can’t. I probably will come back for the beef noodle since it’s nearby where I work ?

We ordered 2 noodles (only 1 beef noodle) + 2 appetizers, $75 + tip..
overall felt about 30% over priced.
