Noodles near Venice, CA

“On vacation with friends, we decided to stop here to eat. Firstly, we appreciated the contact with the staff, who were adorable and attentive to us from the first seconds. We ordered two spaghetti carbonara (special) and it was delicious!!!! At the end of the meal, the manager took the time to chat lightly with us. This restaurant is flawless. Both for the welcome and the taste! Thank you“

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

“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.“

“A great little gem. We stopped in for dinner - not especially hungry due to late lunch but knew we needed to eat something. We split the cucumber salad - so fresh and tasty, a little sweet, a little salty. It’s sold as a small appetizer but, easily splittable. Then pork potstickers and veggie pancakes - eight of each, so plenty to share and also very tasty. Definitely would go back. Friendly attentive service to round out a great find.“

“So fresh, clean, and fulfilling! The food here is great, you can really taste the quality... but it’s definitely on the overpriced side.

The space is a bit small, but the wait times were short (10 minutes), so it wasn’t an issue.

The staff were super lovely, with such happy, welcoming energy that made the whole atmosphere feel really good.“

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

“Venice Noodles is a little Chinse/Thai place that has some of the best food in town. It is not huge, but it is always clean and fun. We usually have it delivered. They are fast or we do pick up. They will even deliver to your hotel.

The prices are reasonable and if there is anything wrong with your delivery order they will make it right, straight away and be very nice about it. Just once, and we order a lot, there was an issue with raisins in the rice. We ordered it without. Believe it or not my dog loves their rice, no one else', just Venice Noodles so we get her an order. Raisins can and will kill a dog. The order had raisins and they fixed it all up so fast. They were so nice about it. Now we order from there a lot, so often that I don't recall how many times and this is the only time we had an issue. Ever other order we place is perfect, hot and delicious.

They have some of the best noodle dishes. Any will be great for you. We also love their dumplings and their Venice Chicken Slice. You will not find this elsewhere. It is marinated chicken fried in a tortilla, slices and served with a great sauce. Their Thai Pork jerky is a must try. It is deep fried pork strips with the best chili on it and again, a great sauce.

Whatever you get you will love.“

“Excellent Japanese food. I got takeout: the Gindara Saikyoyaki Bento. It was delightful. Excellent service.

I'm going to have to come back because it's a lovely spot, and I want to actually sit and enjoy in the establishment next time.

Highly recommend. And El Segundo is a very pleasant, calm downtown to visit if you're waiting around for a flight, like I was. It can be fun to go up to Venice where all the excitement is, but I'm grateful that I had a nice calm afternoon in El Segundo this time. And my fantastic supper here was part of it.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Delicious Udon and other Japanese specialties“

“We stopped for dinner and glad we did. The service was great only had a couple people at tables. We ordered massamun curry, yellow curry, green curry, pad see-ew, spring rolls, fried wontons, and tom-kha. It was all wonderful and seasoned perfectly. Would definitely come back again. When you spend $100 or more you get a free item (shirt, fanny pack, wallet).“

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

“I like this place about the food is wonderful“

“I'm in town for an event and we were looking for a place open to eat. We found this place and it is a gem! I ordered a Jasmine tea & Pho Nam (brisket). It was SO good! One of the best bowls of pho I've had in quite some time. The broth was perfectly flavored and the meat was good as well. My tea also tasted great without any sweetner added to it. My friend ordered a bun combo with a side soup and also said it was very good. We ordered and got our food pretty quickly. The server was friendly and very attentive. The pricing was also very good for the portions you get. I paid for our teas & both meals and it came out to $34+tip. If I'm ever back in town, I would definitely eat here again!“

“Extremely nice family restaurant. Their curries are very tasty and they are so welcoming, I will long remember how nice they were with us and will come back anytime I am in this neighborhood. Thank you for your generosity and kindness.

Parking: Huge parking“

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

“Delicious Chinese food with unique menu items all delivered in a fantastic old school Hollywood atmosphere. From the pictures on the wall of the great stars of the past and the booths where Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and Burt Reynolds hung out, you can feel the history and reminisce about the past. The boa, lettuce wraps, scallion pancakes, fried tofu, and chicken salad all were excellent choices. They also had great drink choices. The only downside was that parking was in a paid parking lot and the restaurant prices were very high.“

“Delicious home made pasta ! Friendly staff !“

“Best Pasta in Los Angeles!🤤😋🍝🍷“

“2024.10
The customer service was very good! The server was kind, polite, and had a wonderful smile.
However, the taste of the food is extremely ordinary? and there is nothing wrong with it...
It tastes like home cooking in a good way.
The rice flour noodles and chili oil on the table were very delicious.“

“Tina, the owner, is an amazing person and great Thai chef. I dined in her cozy restaurant and we had a great conversation. I absolutely loved my Penang chicken curry over rice! It’s next to a famous boxing gym - all her favorite champions come by to eat after their workout. BYOB from the market next door“

“Great customer service and delicious and flavorful food“

“Just pass the long queue in din tai fung and come to this restaurant. You won’t regret. Xiaolonngbao is good and at standard price. Beef fried noodles is superb. The spicy ox tail soup is a must try and basically it’s the broth of Taiwanese beef noodles. Service is excellent!“

“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.“

“Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. We split two dishes. The flavor was solid on both, but definitely indulge in their hot sauces because it elevates everything from great to phenomenal. Would honestly eat here everyday if I lived nearby.“

“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.“

“I have driven by this place several times and it doesn’t look like much on the outside but I had a good feeling about it.
As soon as, we walked in the Aroma of the kitchen was Amazing!! Plenty of “pick up orders” on the countertop! Menu had lots of options. Pho and spring rolls +peanut sauce and flavors did not fail super yummy!
Customers were eating happily just like us. Service was great and attentive. Returning soon !“

“Great customer service. The food was top notch. Wicked good Thai food in a low key spot. Our server was so helpful and kind. We loved it. Pad see ew, dumplings, and the duck were delicious. The mango sticky rice was a nice finish for dessert. The owner treated us to a Thai iced tea because it was their new year. Highly recommend.“

“great service, wonderful staff and food was amazing“

“An absolute gem of a place! The Naked rolls are wrapped with veggies like radish instead of rice and PACKED GENEROUSLY with really fresh fish. Service here's amazing also. Oh and the macaroon ice creams 😍. So glad I found it ♥️“

“m/ Really good spicy awesome noodles 🍜“

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

“The best soba in LA, hands down. Getting directly to the point, we tried the Scallop Shiso Maze Soba and the Kamo Negi Soba. They were completely different but equally superbly delicious. The latter was a very classical soba with rich duck broth done just right vs the former was a brilliant innovation - a refreshing pesto-like broth infused with shiso together with scallops and mushrooms full of umami.
The appetizers - Dashi Simmered Pumpkin and Chicken Kaarage - were excellent as well. Plus very friendly and polite staff. Will come back!“

“What incredible service from Zander. On New Year’s Day with the restaurant completely packed he made some magic happen and got me and my girlfriend a table for our anniversary. It doesn’t stop there! The service through out the whole dinner was incredible with recommendations and check ins. The ambiance as well was awesome with modern vibes and music going. We had the xiao long bao, chicken fried rice, and three cup chicken and oh my god was it incredible.“

“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“

“Very affordable and generous portions. I really enjoyed the dumplings and the Pad Thai. The rice felt a bit plain, and they don’t serve much tofu—it’s actually very little. I’d say one dish is enough for two people. Updated from previous review on 2025-08-12“

“This place right HERE!!!!!!!
This Ramen House is superior, premium and ultra! The broth base alone is transformative. I was taken away into another dimension personally, seriously.
I was literally weeping over the broth.

We had appetizers which were delicious and fresh. I can not wait to return.

This Ramen House can stop wars and bring about world peace“

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

“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!“

“What a gem! Incredibly tasty and well made Thai food, spicy actually means quite spicy but still super flavorful. Really appreciate the care taken. Favorite new west side Thai restaurant!

Vegetarian options: Clear checkbox for making dishes "vegan style", was even highlighted on the receipt

Dietary restrictions: Vegan friendly“

“Love love... me and my sons fave...“

“I went here six years ago and I am still dreaming of the pad woon sen noodles. Nothing I have eaten at any restaurant since has ever been quite so addictive. I don't know what they put in there, but I will shed a tear if this place closes, because though I now live on a different continent, I hope and pray to one day eat those noodles again.“

“I like this place. Extremely good prices and value. Huge quantities. I mostly just get the orange chicken, white rice, and sometimes get some other appetizers. They also give you tea and some other appetizers for free at the beginning. For the price, how good the food is, and how big the quantities are I would definitely recommend it. Orange chicken 10/10, overall I rate the restaurant a 4.6/5“

“Santouka is one of the better chains of authentic Japanese ramen around.

I like this food court format, easy, reasonably priced, quick.

I had the miso and it was excellent!!!

The ramen too is priced right. $12.95 for small, $13.95 for medium and $15 for large.

Shio - it certainly has a lighter flavor than the Miso one but Miso will taste better in my opinion“

“Excellent place to eat and take away too!!! The waitress was very friendly and we ordered 4 rolls to try since it was the first time. We took the combo 3 rolls for 21, and lobster pop roll, they were super, very good flavor and well reported, it's more filling than rice ❤️ and we love that, it was to go but they gave us a delicious complimentary cherry flavor ice cream, delicious no We expected it and it was a ?we definitely recommend it. Super clean and welcoming and they are attentive to needs without feeling harassed. ??????“
