Noodles near Van Nuys, CA

“Fantastic food, fair prices, friendly service. Thank you, Sam and the staff, we enjoyed the food and the company. The place feels warm. The food we took to our fellows in the office got many compliments. Thank you,“

“Really loved the pho that I got. Good portion of protein, all the sauces are on the table along with chopsticks, spoons and napkins which for me is a deal breaker at a pho place if those things arent on every table. Its always a good sign that the food is delicious because high turnover can afford you to do that. If youre in the area I highly reccomend.“

“The stir-fried noodles with chicken and broccoli at this place were honestly the best part of my night after the Dodgers game. I am basically the whole package, so a smart, cute guy should reach out before someone else catches on. You know where to find me.“

“Saturday at noon. All the stars aligned. Found parking right in front. Minimal wait for a table of 6. By the tine the rest of our party arrived they were ready to seat us. Afterwards we walked around 99 ranch next door to burn off some of the food.

Our group ordered as family style and here is our hit list:
1. Sam Woo platter (roast duck, roast pork, chinese bbq pork, soy sauce chicken) - 1
2. Hot sour soup
3. French style beef - C5
4. Orange chicken
5. Eggplant with minced pork (spicy)
6. Bbq pork Fried rice“

“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.“

“This place is a gem, tucked away 6 walking minutes from the Pantages. If you're a true dumpling, shumai and long bao fan, your taste buds need not walk any further. The explosion of flavors will make you want to come back. Make sure you also try the Lychee Lemonade, the scallion pancakes and the tomato and egg noodles. An A+ all around!“

“The ramen here is some of the most impressive in all of LA. They bring you what looks like a culinary masterpiece, yet it is all vegan. The vibes are perfect with soft lighting and good music. The staff is very friendly and accommodating while also being highly skilled, as this is not the easiest to create.“

“Delicious Udon and other Japanese specialties“

“I really enjoyed the food and it was not very pricey at all. Most of the plates, even the favorites at that, we’re about $15… Everything on the menu is Vegan 🙋🏽‍♂️“

“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.“

“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“

“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 the best Pho in the Reseda area. This is my go to spot since the goldfish in the front entrance.. they have really made it look nice. All their pho is delicious. Everything on the menu is amazing. They are also opened late that is a plus. Location is always busy but worth the wait. Their food is authentic tasting.“

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

“Amazing Thai food! The Tom Kha hot pot was rich, creamy, and full of flavor, and the green curry was absolutely delicious. Fresh ingredients, great service, and cozy atmosphere. Will definitely come back🥰🥰🥰“

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

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

“I've been eating here for over 30 years and I love it every time. The people, the food and the feeling of home keep me coming back. :)“

“A small place tucked away in a plaza. The restaurant was quiet with regulars that chatted with the staff. I got dumpling soup. I chose the combo option for kimchi and beef dumplings. We also got sujebi with sweet pumpkin dough flakes. The dumpling soup was very flavorful and had many toppings, including egg, seaweed shreds, and green onion. The amount was quite good for its price. The sujebi was very rich and starchy. The banchan was good as well.“

“Just LOVED my street noodles. They were spicy even though I ordered them mild. Fresh noodles are THE BEST!“

“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.“

“Ordered catering for a 20+ person party and the experience was so seamless ordering and they were so happy to answer any questions I had for the phone. My friends with high food standards LOVED the food and kept asking where I got it from!! Thank you guys for making my special day so much more special!“

“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.“

“This place has the absolute BEST Oyakodon and curry. I know people focus on the ramen but for real, it’s the closest we’ve gotten to food in japan since we got back from our trip. INCREDIBLE and they have thai tea and milk tea that’s delicious!!“

“A must-stop whenever I'm in the Valley. LaVo specializes in Thai fusion pizzas. The Thai Curry Chicken and Pad Kapao Gai (Spicy Basil Chicken) are standouts, and the Tom Yum Pizza is worth trying too. Spice is adjustable, which is great for groups with varying tastes. They also have a full Thai menu with a solid range of noodle dishes if pizza isn't your thing. Consistently excellent.“

““Had a great experience at Chowking. The food came out fresh, hot, and flavorful, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout the visit. The restaurant was clean, service was quick, and everything was well organized even during busy hours. The Halo-Halo and siopao were especially good, and the portions were satisfying. Definitely a solid spot for comfort Filipino-Chinese food in the area. Looking forward to coming back again soon!”“

“Swadikaa 🙏

if it has to be Thai, it has to be NAT

One of the best Thai food experiences in Los Angeles! If you're a Thai food lover, this place is an absolute must-visit. And if you haven't tried it yet, you're truly missing something in life.

The food is authentic, incredibly flavorful, and the portions are amazing — one dish is easily enough for two people. Every bite feels like comfort food made with love.

What makes this place even more special is the owner and chef, Nata. She serves every guest with so much warmth and care that you'll feel as if your own mother is cooking and serving you. She is sweet, approachable, open to suggestions, and always makes you feel right at home.

Great conversations, outstanding hospitality, and unforgettable food — this place has it all. It's not just a restaurant; it's an experience. Highly recommended, and definitely one of the hidden gems of Los Angeles!“

“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!“

“I visited this place on 04/07/2026, and saying that I liked it would be an understatement.

The service was 100 out of 10. The waiter knew the menu very well and was able to make great recommendations. I ordered the coconut milk soup with seafood, and it was absolutely delicious. There was a lot of seafood in it, and the portion was very generous.

We also ordered chicken and drinks. Honestly, the amount of food they brought us could easily feed three people. For $49 total, it was definitely worth it.

I also want to mention the honesty and kindness of the staff. I accidentally left my AirPods at the table, and the waitress found my car in the parking lot and personally returned them to me. That really impressed me and says a lot about the level of service and care they provide.

The atmosphere was calm, pleasant, and very welcoming. I definitely recommend this place and would be happy to come back again.“

“Got two rolls and the sashimi combo. Sexy lady and something with salmon and cream cheese. Both were fire. The sashimi combo was so fresh and delirious. I found this place on a whim and I’m so grateful I did. The owner was such a sweetheart. I’ll definitely be coming back here again.“

“Yummy Chinese food in the valley. Convenient location and ample parking. Ordered chicken wings, orange chicken and pan fried noodles and Thai tea. Tasted fresh and cooked well. Kind and attentive customer service. I’d come back. (Received a free Thai iced tea in exchange for the review but this is an honest review.)“

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

“What a great find! This is a hole in the wall, not a place to come for a romantic meal. BUT, the food was excellent! And the little old lady was an absolute doll. It felt like my grandma was looking after me, making sure I was fed well. She was so attentive and sweet. I definitely recommend this restaurant for authentic Seoul food!“

“Been coming here for as long as I can remember - I suppose as long as this iteration has existed. The H.Way Frontier is a place you’re introduced to early on if you’re below the line film crew in Burbank running with a rigging or art dept./set Dec crew. This storefront carries on the tradition as I’ll often bump into fellow industry crew here.
All that stuff is well and good but the real reason we congregate here is THE FOOD. There are other good Chinese restaurants in LA but this place to me is by far the best. Consistently wonderful, delicious, very good portion sizes and a nice menu variety. It’s quick (15 minutes or less) and the lunch specials are a great deal. I’m not usually this gushy about anything but Frontier Wok Too deserves every bit of praise I can throw at it. If my family is in the mood for Chinese Food there’s only one choice for us and that is right here. With no traffic it’s still a 20 minute drive one way but it’s worth every minute once we’re sitting down to eat it. You can’t go wrong at Frontier Wok Too. If you haven’t tried it you simply must and you can be the judge.“

“Superb Thai food. I loveeeeeee coming here. 🙂 The host (Nick) always greets me with a huge smile and I thoroughly vouch for the customer service. I’ve been coming here for 8 years. I enjoy the Pad Thai and the green curry. I got a special treat for my birthday. They are like family. This restaurant is awesome. The flavors remind me of my travels to Bangkok in 2019. Authentic flavors and even better hospitality. This is why Hae Ha Heng deserves a 10 starts out of 5 stars. Outstanding!!!!!!“

“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.“

“Perfect Thai Boat noodle with ‘real’ taste. Very spicy !! If you can’t eat spicy food, I recommend Zero level.
Love fried tofu for appetizer. You must try ‘Ruam mit’ for dessert.
Service was exceptional !! My boat noodle dish with medium spice level was too spicy for me. The chef offered to make me a new dish. Will be back on our next visit to LA.“

“Mountain Noodles offers an extensive variety of Korean dishes, which initially made me skeptical about their focus on noodles. However, I was surprised to find that their menu cleverly builds on a foundation of decent meat broth with slight variations.

I tried their signature dish, the beef noodles, and opted for the mild spicy version, which unexpectedly came with kimchi in the soup. I would recommend going with the regular flavor to fully appreciate the rich flavor of the broth. Kimchi is also served as a standard side dish. The ribs in the noodles were perfectly cooked, and the noodles themselves were delightfully chewy and tasty.

While the service was not particularly friendly or proactive, it didn't significantly detract from the overall quality of the food. Mountain Noodles is a solid choice for anyone craving varolious and well-prepared Korean cuisine.“

“First time excellent fresh food ..Live the appetizers“

“The Kuromayu Ramen was very good and very filling. The broth was yummy. I feared it was going to be salty but it wasn’t. The marinated egg was sooo good and the yolk was perfectly jammy. I wasn’t a big fan of the noodles but they were decent.

There is a mechanic humming sound that is quite loud and distracting. The atmosphere of the place could have been better if it was perhaps quieter. But, otherwise for a Saturday, there was no wait. The staff was very kind. The decor is nice and the place is exceptionally clean.“

“Fresh delicious food prepared to order.“

“great service, wonderful staff and food was amazing“

“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.“

“Wow I can’t believe how incredible the food is here. This is not your typical Korean bbq. This is elevated and intentional Korean food with impeccable, full table service. I tried the $185 combo today and added a $12 nengmyun. Keep in mind it’s Pyeongyang style nengmyun and is different than what you may think is “standard” nengmyun. The meat quality is fantastic here. Really nice marbling. The standout for me was the galbi. So tender and struck a nice balance between the soy and the sweetness for me. The ssam and banchan are also so beautifully presented. The soups at kbbq tend to be an afterthought type of filler dish, but they don’t do regular soups here. The doenjang jjigae was made like my grandma makes, with a deep, umami anchovy based broth. They even utilized shiitake mushroom in it, which I have never seen before. Definitely an additional umami flavor to the dish, but this is really what I mean by everything is intentional. The spicy beef rib soup is my recommendation for the soup for the combo. It’s like the best yukgaejang/galbitang crossover I’ve ever had. The clean aftertaste from the radish in it is fantastic. The flavors of the different ingredients used really stood out to me. The nengmyun broth had a deep beef flavor and touch of sweetness that was simply perfect once I added in mustard and vinegar. The noodles are not my personal preference (I like hamheung style), but the broth is just *wow*. I was quite impressed to say the least. The meal combo was enough for 3 of us. They began to really fill up around 6:30. I can’t recommend this place enough.“

“I've eaten here four times and the food is always great. However, today I tried the Salted Cinnamon Cold Foam Cold Brew, and I will never be the same. It is the best coffee drink I've ever had, and it isn't even close. I don't even have words to describe it, it's just amazing. The staff is friendly and the food is fresh and tasty. I want to try the other coffee drinks now too, but I can't comprehend how a drink could taste better than this. Thank you Vui Ve, you changed a man's life today.“

“Wow, can't believe places like this still exist--a wonderful, old school korean restaurant that focuses on the important things: amazing kimchi, homemade noodle/sujebi, delicious homemade dumplings, the best yukejang... The owners are lovely and sweet, and my parents, who are super hard to please, were all smile with the entire meal :) Thank you!!“

“This place just rips. The food is always amazing, the staff is always super nice, they have a cool menu and wild fun drinks. The vibe is on point, this place is an LA classic. I Truly don’t understand why this place isn’t completely slammed when I go, but I’m grateful I can always get a booth here.“

“Nice chinese korean food that hits the spot. The tansuyuk was that crispy chewy texture that makes it unique 👌. Comes dippable which is the only appropriate way to eat it! Sauce could use more citruis and fruit. 8.7/10.
Jjampong was decent. I think it lacked a bit of depth for the flavor. Sad there was no shrimp or other seafood. Noodles were decent and had a decent bite. 7.8/10. Chicken wings were... sad. I dont know if there was a sauce shortage... but it should be more a few drops on there... 7.4/10. I would also like to recommend a no pork in the jjajangmyun option. I know its pre-made but it would be nice...“

“Staff members are also so friendly and welcoming. The food is so delicious and made fresh as you order. Great job to the cooks. The Tai tea is delicious. The servers are always so friendly and we always see the older gentleman who might be the owner and is always so friendly. Great job everyone.“
