    House Special Beef Noodle Soup
    Moriah L.

    Cute little hole-in-the wall with a large parking lot! Came here on a weekday and was immediately seated. Food came out quick! I ordered the house special beef noodle soup with a side of cucumbers and green onion pancake. You can choose your noodle style with the soups, the noodles are freshly hand pulled!! Prices are very affordable, would definitely recommend!

    Came here on a coworker's recommendation while feeling under the weather, and it did not disappoint! I ordered online for pickup and got the braised noodle soup with prisma noodles and the beef roll pancakes. Even after a 25-minute drive home, the food was absolutely amazing. The flavors held up perfectly. If it's this good as takeout, eating it fresh at the restaurant must be next-level. Highly recommend!

    This has got to be the best beef noodle soup in the area. The noodles so fresh and soft. Definitely recommend people to come here for the noodles. It's flavorful and fills 2 people tummy! The service was great and the RESTURANT is a small so I can see how there could be a wait.

    This is by far my most highly recommended spot to friends who ask what's good Chinese food in Arcadia. And I could be wrong as someone who is not Chinese, but this is a very popular spot even for solo diners (all Chinese btw). Their sliced potato and pig ears have the PERFECT mala buzz spice. I would not recommend their cucumber dish as it's pretty bland and devoid of punchy garlic notes especially juxtaposed with two fantastic sides. Their spicy beef noodle soup is fantastic. Get the wide noodles. They're chewy, uber long, perfect texture, and my mouth is watering just typing this out and thinking about it. Bring your friends, even your Chinese friends. You won't be disappointed.

    Not much to say other than I should have come here sooner. This place is such a hidden gem tucked into a corner. Good prices. Delicious hand made noodles. Especially the Vegetable Cold Noodle. I have been on a fiber kick lately and this dish meets all the marks. Delicious tangy sauce, perfectly chewy noodles and lots of crunchy fresh vegetables. That sauce reminds me of my childhood somehow. Super refreshing. The beef noodle is just classic also, you can't go wrong with it. We also got some pork belly buns too. I definitely want to come back and try the other noodle dishes and sides. That vegetable cold noodle is going to be my go to though. Absolutely delicious, glad I finally tried this place. Looking forward to coming back already.

    Something about the noodles being hand-pulled fresh in front of you, it has that nice chewy texture. You can't go wrong with any dish here, it's all good! Even the beef pancake rolls just melt in your mouth and burst with flavor, something I didn't expect (usually they're hard to bite through). It may look like a hole in the wall, but that's what it is - an open secret!

    Service was quick. Food was delicious. Small unassuming store tucked in the corner of the plaza. Beef Roll Pancake (4/5): not bad! I've been reading reviews here saying it's too salty, but I was pleasantly surprised. It had good flavor and the outside bing was crisp. On the smaller side, but overall delicious. Spicy Sliced Pork Ear (3.5/5): it's what you expect. Chewy with a nice kick from the chili oil. House Special Lamb Soup (2.5/5): now this dish was reaaaally salty. The lamb itself was delicious and the flavor of the soup had lamb prevailing throughout it. They just gotta water it down a bit. Braised Beef Noodle Soup (4/5): nice light but deep flavor in the soup. Beef was cooked well and tender. Star of the show were the prisma noodles. Had some texture through it from the shape, and it had a nice chew! Noodle with Fried Bean Sauce (4/5): flavor was lighter for this dish. We got wide noodles with it that helped soak up the flavor well. Overall if you like hand pulled noodles, def come here!

    Best Noodle Soup I have eaten so far! The portions are quite large for someone with a small appetite like me! Noodles are soft but not sloppy. Lots of meat in the bowl and just the right mix of salty, spicy, and sweet. Beef rolls are also good! A must-try place. Service is quick and the place has a bathroom. Good for a simple dine out but quality!

    Tanya W.

    An unassuming Chinese restaurant with LOTS of great flavors! There's lot of different noodles dishes and types of noodles you can choose from. I really enjoyed how al dente the fresh noodles are and the braised beef broth was sooo delicious! It's a large bowl so I got a small bowl to share. I was really happy with the combo cold dish, you can pick 3 options in one dish so I got to try a variety of tasty sides. The service is really considerate and kind! I didn't even need to ask for the extra bowl and they even brought out a set of scissors to make sharing easier. Pig ear - 4/5, good taste but I like it with more chili, soy sauce, and cilantro. Potato salad - 100/5, unexpected favorite! So refreshing and addicting with the Szechuan peppercorn oil, it wasn't too strong but mild enough that I kept wanting to eat more! Bean curd - 3/5, more mild in flavor and chewy! Not bad, but not my favorite. Braised beef noodles - 5/5, very solid bowl of noodles! Loved how clean the broth tasted and the braised beef was so tender. The chili oil tastes homemade and is incredible too! Chinese pork burger - 4/5, very tasty and I enjoyed the spices but still heavy (oily) even with the chopped onions. I finished it at home with more onions and found it less greasy!

    Time and time again, this place always hits the spot. Their hand pulled noodles can not be rivaled. I love ordering the wide thick noodles in my braised beef noodle soup. The soup is fragrant and made in house. Noodles are prepared right in front of you and a time is to be had! I always love adjusting the spice level to medium and trying their appetizers. Honestly all of the appetizers are my favorites. You can't go wrong with chili pig ears or a classic beef roll.

    4.5 stars. Came here for dinner on New Year's Day and it was relatively busy. It's a really small restaurant with around 6-8 tables, so the wait was a bit long. There was also only one waitress at the time balancing all the tables so it was understandable. The service was good given the circumstance. The food was comforting and flavorful. The flavor of the broth was excellent and noodles were made well. There is a large selection of noodle types that you can choose from. The ambiance of this place and the size makes this place a hole in the wall restaurant. Overall, I think it's a great option if you're in the area and you can always get 626 hospitality ice cream after.

    Comfort in a bowl! I wasn't feeling great and was really craving something warm and comforting. I ordered the beef noodle soup to go, but the inside of the restaurant looked spacious and clean with plenty of seating (you can see it in the video I posted!). The staff was friendly and got my order out quickly. The real standout? The flat noodles- so chewy and fresh, they soaked up the broth perfectly. There's shared complex parking available, which makes pickup easy, though it might get a little busy depending on the time.

    Located in a pretty spacious plaza with the Dollar Tree, there was plenty of parking. Came back for their house special beef noodle soup after a while cause the TC location closed. We got the thin noodles and not spicy. The noodles were chewy and the broth was light but savory. We also got the beef rolls which had four pieces, enough for 2 people to split and share. The size was a bit small but the beef and sauce was on point (kind of salty for some bites). Staff was pretty quick with taking our order and bringing the food out. They didn't offer us water cups so we had to ask. Other than that, it was all good.

Loved the combo of fragrant garlic, onions, fresh chives and perfectly poached egg. Mixing everything together created the perfect bite. I added a splash of vinegar which elevated the flavors more. You can also get a complimentary scoop of rice at the end to soak up the remaining sauce. Also took advantage of the $5 matcha latte, which was smooth. I also love the chilled tofu appetizer lightly dressed with sesame dressing and topped with bonito flakes. A simple dish that pairs well the noodles. Definitely a noodle gem! Friendly staff and easy parking! Will be back!

Spice lovers will definitely be happy here, but even if you normally don't eat spicy food, you'll still find yourself going back for bite after bite. The restaurant itself is simple yet elegant, clean, and comfortable, with the warm feeling of a beloved local spot. The service is friendly, and the food comes out quickly, creating a relaxed and welcoming dining experience. Especially after a long day, having a hot bowl of their oil-splashed noodles feels genuinely comforting. If you enjoy unique Xi'an cuisine, I highly recommend giving this place a try. You can taste that the flavors have not been overly adjusted just to appeal to the masses. Instead, the restaurant preserves the authentic spirit, warmth, and bold flavors of traditional Xi'an cooking.
