    Nice place
    Anthony P.

    This place has quickly become our favorite noodle restaurant. We have been here several times now and the service and food are always amazing. Fresh vegetables and flavorful proteins make each dish a new STORY. The interior ambience is relaxing. If you happen to be in Temecula, stop by and give them a try. I highly recommend the Udon noodles or Banh Mi sandwich.

    This place uses some of the freshest ingredients, and you can really taste the difference. Their bowls are always fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. Also, they have the best crab rangoons!! The staff is consistently friendly and efficient, making every visit a pleasant experience. I also appreciate how clean and spacious the restaurant is. Definitely one of my favorite spots!

    Somewhat of a long wait for food but the wait is definitely worth it. Hot and delicious. Casual atmosphere in a very clean establishment. I really like the fact that you get served in to go containers. Makes it so much easier to just ask for a lid and take your food home if you can't finish. They do give you a lot of food so I think that's a definite plus for this restaurant. I do wish they had a soda machine with The ability to refill. However, you can buy cans of soda and I'm sure they have ice and a cup if you request it. I like the fact that you can build your own meal if you don't want the pre-selected ones. Each time I come back I am trying something new. The only problem I have ever had is that the chicken meat was breast meat and a little dry but I haven't tried it since so I'm not sure if it has changed. The pictures probably tell it all and we will be back again and again. I hope the best of success for what seems to be a small, family-owned business.

    Still one of my favorite meals I've had in Temecula! To say I'm obsessed would be an understatement. I ordered the same thing as last time, but it was still just as delicious. The garlic shrimp is so flavorful and the tiger sauce is perfection. The veggies are so fresh and the rice noodles make it feel like a lighter meal. I did try an order of the crab rangoons and they were so good! The flavor of the cream cheese and the dipping sauce was a great pairing. I hope to branch out next time I visit, because I really want to try a banh mi!

    Just minutes from my house and I finally made it here!! The place has a cool vibe, nicely decorated, clean, inviting, we were greeted immediately. The aroma of lemongrass beef cooking, was mouth watering!!! Lots of great options, dry bowls, soups and appetizers....great noodle selection and toppings to choose from. Will definitely be back to try out the different bowl options, pho was delicious.

    Bbq Pork banh mi is the best!
    Myrine S.

    Love their bbq pork banh mi! This is my first review but I've eaten here a handful of times and I've only ordered the pork and chicken banh mi. It's that good! Generous amount of grilled meat, warm toasted baguette with healthy veggies. Ask for the jalapeños on the side if you don't want it too spicy. Love that it is made to order. Appreciate the fresh, quality ingredients.

    I want to love this place as it's independently owned, but unfortunately the food was just ok. I ordered their Bahn Mai with lemongrass beef. The beef was good with flavor but the rest of sandwich was ehhhhhh...the bread needs to be fresh with a crisp as well as the herbs and vegetables. The vegetables did not taste fresh, were they from a prepared bag? The vegetable preparation is not in line with usual bahn mai sandwiches: which is critical to the overall sandwich. The soup was better/ the flavoring was good. Price is not bad for the food. Service was good: friendly Ambiance: the dining area decor was basic but clean. Plenty of parking outside the restaurant in the lot

    Poonam M.

    Always enjoy the food here. The bbq pork was tender and flavorful. Good portion size. Lots of condiments to choose from. They"ve added to tables for outside seating which was nice as it does tend to get Smokey inside from the fresh grilling going on .

    10/10 so good. Fresh ingredients! Owners are always here, everyone is super helpful and friendly, and I love how clean the space is. The meat quality is good! I can't stand getting chunks of fat in my food and they really deliver on quality and flavorful proteins! They also don't add in MSG which is super hard to find and 100% appreciated! We came back again 2 days after our first visit because we thoroughly enjoyed it!

    As someone who is a huge BIGGG BACKER, honestly, this place was amazing. No complaints at all. We got the beef bowl and the red curry and both were amazing. The flavor was top tier. Def going to be a frequent spot for us

    Lemongrass Bahn Mi stuffed!
    Che' M.

    This spot is simply amazing. Showed up about 30 min before closing and was immediately greeted warmly. I knew i wanted the lemongrass bahn mi but I wanted something else. The young lady was very nice and patient with me. I ended up getting the Chapter 2. That garlic shrimp was outstanding and all the veggies were fresh! Now on to that damn sandwich. It was the best Bahn Mi I've had in my life. The flavors coming out of it were mind blowing! The portions were huge. We all know how some places get real skimpy, not them! Oh and the place was spotless, with plenty of seating, and an amazing condiment bar. Needless to say, I will be returning often. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

    Built my own bowl with 1/2 rice 1/2 greens, shrimp, and almost all veggies
    Jessica D.

    The build your own bowl concept here is my all time favorite. The food is very fresh and delicious. Portion sizes are large. The available topping bar is genius. I will definitely be adding this establishment to my frequently visited list.

    Ask the Community - A Noodle Story

    Should we make a reservation (looking at 6:00 p.m.) or is there enough seating?

    It's fast casual, you order at the counter and seat yourself. They don't have reservations but there is usually a table or two open when I've been there.

    Do you have Vegan options?

    They have vegetarian for sure. If you build your own bowl yes but the chapters or premade ones are not.

The drinks eventually came, but the utensils never did we ended up getting them ourselves. We never had an assigned waiter just multiple people bringing our dishes.

I came here craving soup after being sick and ordered the pork soon tofu, while my wife ordered the bulgogi. The meat in both dishes was noticeably tough and difficult to chew compared to other Korean tofu restaurants we've visited. Because I wasn't feeling well, I couldn't fully taste the food, but my wife and daughter both immediately noticed that the bulgogi tasted sour. When we brought it to the staff's attention, they kindly offered to replace the meat, so we requested teriyaki chicken instead. Unfortunately, another serving of bulgogi was brought out instead. By that point, my wife and daughter had already finished eating and gone to the car, so I simply asked for it to be boxed up. After getting home, we decided to throw it away because we didn't feel comfortable taking a chance on meat that tasted off. The side dishes also didn't seem fresh, which matched what I had seen mentioned in other reviews. While I can't say for certain what caused the sour taste, it left us without confidence in the meal. Another thing worth mentioning is that there was no air conditioning on a very hot summer day, which made it uncomfortable to enjoy a steaming bowl of soup. Also, the dishes were served on hot plates, but nothing arrived sizzling or boiling the way you would normally expect at a Korean tofu restaurant. I genuinely want local family-owned restaurants to succeed, which is why writing this review isn't easy. Every restaurant can have an off day, and hopefully that's what happened here. Unfortunately, this visit didn't meet our expectations, and based on our experience, I'd encourage others to use their own judgment when deciding to dine here.
