    Popcorn Chicken
    Stacee S.

    According to my friend, Reddit says this place has the best Taiwanese beef noodle soup in SGV and after going today, I'd say that is accurate! Absolutely loved the soup. Super flavorful and the braised beef was so tender and tasty, thick noodles were perfectly cooked. One bowl was enough to share because we also got popcorn chicken, fried pork chop, and Taiwanese sausage. Everything was just so good, I'm still salivating thinking about it.

    I've neve been to Taiwan but I imagine that this restaurant is close to what they serve there. My family likes the beef noodle soup here and recommends it to friends. Pricing is more than other places but the portion is large enough to have leftovers or feed two so it's acceptable. I get the tendon only beef noodle soup, as I like the texture of well cooked tendon so much. The flavor of the broth is rich and concentrated. The noodles have a bouncy chew texture and doesn't soak up the broth even when refrigerated overnight. The amount and size of tendon they give here is phenomenal, never seen quality and quantity like this really justifies the pricing. The wonton soup is also a large portion, that is sharable. The wontons are different from Hong Kong style, a big size and just ground meat no shrimp. I wouldn't order this again as the beef noodle soup is just so much better. Chilled cucumber salad was addicting and small enough portion to be finished off in one sitting. Crunchy and marinated in a quick pickle this was so yummy as a side dish. You can order soup to-go or even refrigerated so you can reheat at home in your own convenience. Limited menu but if you do one thing right it's all you need. Service was attentive and pleasant, cash payment is encouraged as you get a slight discount compared with card.

    Beef Stew Noodle Soup ($16.47) - "Close Up on Noodles and Beef"
    Ian A.

    I had an adequate experience at Corner Beef Noodle House (El Monte). I ordered the Beef Stew Noodle Soup ($16.47). I loved its springy, fresh noodles; however, the soft, jelly-like beef is mildly bitter like burnt blood. It's an acquired taste. (Important: Bring Cash. There's a 3% Cash Discount.) I arrived at Corner Beef Noodle House (El Monte) on Sunday (around 5PM). Parking is easy. The lot is spacious. Staff is cordial and efficient. Staff quickly took my order. My food arrived in three minutes and 20 seconds. Extremely fast!! As mentioned, I ordered the Beef Stew Noodle Soup ($16.47). The broth is thin, savory, and sweet with a light spice. The noodles are thick, springy, and fresh. And the beef melts apart in your mouth like beef gelatin. Unfortunately, the beef is also a little bitter and dry. It tastes like frugal ingredients that were well-prepared. It's not bad. Regarding ambiance, Corner Beef Noodle House (El Monte) is very clean. The floor and tables sparkled. There's about 15 tables. There's also a customer gender neutral restroom. The music is also very soft. Overall, Corner Beef Noodle House (El Monte) offered a good experience. If searching for an affordable spot, this is an option. It's not bad, but I'd visit with tempered expectations. 4.3 out of 5

    Without saying, it's really precious to find Taiwanese restaurants in LA. Corner Beef Noodle House is one of the jewels! Ample choices of lunch "bento" for popular Taiwanese foods -- popcorn chicken, pork chop, braised pork knuckles (ham hock) and stinky tofu. Surely you cannot miss their signature dish -- Beef noodle soup! They also provide frozen, cooked food for a convenient, quick meal when you need it. Now they have discount when you pay cash -- 10% off and buy 6 get the lucky 7th free. Some side dishes are UNIQUE and cumbersome to make such as 生腸! It's only available here throughout LA, or probably in the entire California state or nation wide! The "Ai-yu" lemon drink is also a distinctive, special beverage in Taiwan. Must grab one when you come to the Corner.

    I heard the hype around this place's beef noodle soup so I had to try it out. There's parking onsite as the restaurant is located in a plaza. Service was normal. I got the Half Meat Half Tendon Beef Noodle Soup and was unfortunately not impressed with it as the meat that came with it was tough and the broth had a good helping of MSG in it. I could taste it plus I was super parched afterwards and had to chug a ton of water. The tendon was just okay, I won't probably come back for the beef noodle soup as there are other places that have better versions.

    I was committed to try all of the top 5 beef noodle soups in the SGV so we headed to Corner Beef Noodle House. Located in a strip mall in El Monte on Pack Rd., the interior is minimally decorated. The menu is Chinese noodle dishes and sides. We ordered the signature beef noodle soup which was very good but the noodles were a bit over cooked. The broth was deep in flavor. Spicy wontons the wontons were huge like Wenzhou style, not your normal small wontons The sauce was a bit on the seeet side. Boiled chitllins was not good. Service was ok. Plenty of parking.

    Beef Noodle Soup with Half Meat/Half Tendon Beef Stew
    Vivian N.

    Overall: Great place for Taiwanese food with quick, no frills services. This is one of my go to spots for beef noodle soup. Plenty of parking, usually no wait, and great food. The Service: Service is definitely no frills. It's not a fine dining restaurant, but the server is attentive, took my order quickly, and would refill my water when needed. Everything was quick and efficient. The Food: Monascus Pork - 5/5 Very few places serve this dish and it's one of my favorites. The crispy fried pork is well seasoned and is a bit fatty so it's very delicious. This pairs well with the pickled cucumber. You can order this dish by itself or as an entree where it's served with rice. Beef Noodle Soup - 5/5 This is definitely one of my favorite beef noodle soup places since the soup is nice and rich, but not heavy tasting. It has a bit of spice but isn't too spicy. I love the pickled mustard greens that they give. I prefer it with just the beef, but you can also order it with tendon and tripe if that's something you like. The portions are huge! They give so much meat and noodles which gives you more bang for your buck. The taste is very homestyle and reminds me of when I visited Taiwan! I prefer the regular noodles - they were a bit thicker and had a nice bouncy/chewy texture to it. You can also order the noodle soup as a combo where you can get a small appetizer sized amount of cucumber and bean curd. This combo also includes a drink. Price: Beef Noodle soup prices range between $15-$18 depending on what meat choices you get. The other entrees are also around the same price point with appetizers ranging between $8-12. The portions for the food are a lot for what you pay for. The Atmosphere: It's a rather large restaurant which can accommodate for larger groups. It's a casual restaurant so don't expect a fancy dining atmosphere. Parking: Located in a strip mall, with plenty of parking.

    Corner Beef Noodle House is a specialized in Taiwanese beef noodle soup located in VictoriaCenter. They serve hot,cold and rice dishes. Drinks and desserts are available too. I placed my order by phone. It took around twenty minutes to have my order ready. The restaurant looks nice and clean when I went inside to pick up my order. They have multiple indoor seating. I got: -Half meat / Half Tendon beef stew with regular noodles 5/5 The soup was rich and very flavorful. The beef shanks were perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. It had delicious chewy gelatinous tendons with tasty bok choy. It is really their specialty. -Taiwanese Sausage with rice 4/5 It was sweet and garlicky but a little bit dry. -Fried Monascus pork with rice 4/5 It was savory , tender and slightly sweet -Popcorn chicken with rice 4/5 Flavorful crispy chicken with basil leaves The amount of rice was generous. The rice was fluffy. The staff were very nice. My order was perfectly packed and the food was very hot. I will go back for their flavorful and delicious beef stew.

    I already have my go-to's in the LA and OC areas, but this being Christmas Day, some of those places were closed. And so, as I was feeling some beef noodle soup, I looked and I found! Corner Beef Noodle House did the trick and hit the taste buds, but it also is not quite as amazing as my already-established go-to's in the area. Location: Corner Beef is located in a plaza, which is good for parking. That said, the parking lot does tend to still get crowded (from the other tenants of the plaza)! I was able to get a good parking spot though. Service: It's seat yourself as you walk in, but there isn't a sign or anything to say this. As I was waiting, props to the one server who has to serve everyone, but she also didn't turn at all as I entered and didn't acknowledge me at all. So I chose to just seat myself after waiting a bit, asked aloud to make sure I could seat myself, and that's when she turned her head for the first time and acknowledged my presence. Friendly, yes. So overall friendly and kind, just perhaps there's something a bit off that could rub somebody with less patience the wrong way. There are plenty of tables. Also some customers. This place seems to stay at least somewhat busy. Definitely not empty, but also not crazy packed. Now on to the food! Since beef noodle soup is in the restaurant name, this was what I was going to go with, and what I think would be fair to write a review on this establishment on. The noodles are pretty bouncy - that's a good thing! Pickled vegetables get served on the side - that's a good thing too because I know some who don't like the pickled veggies. I happen to love pickled veggies with my beef noodle soup, so I dumped the entire small ramekin in there. The broth was rich and flavored,. Spicy enough too - did a good job clearing my sinuses. A bit salty. I would also add that the beef chunks were a bit tough and large too. Not horribly tough, but tough enough to where I noticed it wasn't super tender like I prefer it. And since these were extremely large, it took a bit to get through them. Still, they tasted good enough, just not as good as some of the other places I've been to. I have to say I came into this establishment curious how things would play out - I read the Yelp reviews ahead of time. Most were good and there was one that stood out saying how horrible everything was. I tell you what - after trying this place firsthand, I question that one reviewer for whether or not something else was at play, because this place wasn't THAT bad. The meat was certainly tougher than it should be, and that prevents it from getting 5 stars, but overall, this place isn't bad, is overall decently good, and the service is the same - food came quickly, server was friendly but also with not the most outgoing mannerisms. Take to heart what you will - but if you're in a bind and have a beef noodle soup craving, Corner Beef Noodle is certainly not a bad place to go to. Just don't expect the same as you would get in Monterey Park at the unfortunately-closed Mandarin Noodle House - man, I miss Mandarin Noodle House! But therein lies the standard I go by.

    beef stew noodle
    Samantha H.

    I'd say this place has one of the top beef noodle soups in the area. We got the Beef Stew Noodle (16.47), Wonton in Chili oil (14.94), Mochi (7.73), and Honey Aiyu Green tea (4.99). The beef noodle is pretty sweet and not very spicy at all, and I like how bouncy and slightly chewy the actual noodle strands are. They pack a lot of beef into the bowl, and each piece is tender and not tough to chew despite the look. The wontons had a strong chili smell, but it wasn't super spicy and tasted vinegary. The standout to me was the mochi - it was nice and chewy and the peanut and sesame flavoring was just right! I'd definitely go again, even on a random Wednesday night the place had decent amount of guests dining in.

    This review is based on my to-go order. This place is solid if you're craving for something soupy! I ordered beef stew noodle. The broth of my soup was delicious! They cooked my noodle perfectly. The reason I'm giving a 4 star because of their soup it's SOOOO red! It's not spicy at all but You would literally dye everything red. Dont wear any white tee. Also the beef was some very dry and some very tender. Overall I would recommend to come back

    Wonton In Chili Oil/Spicy & Sour Wonton(10)-(10)
    Darren L.

    I've been here two times- first time maybe 10 years ago and I returned again recently. This time I got the tendon noodle soup, wontons, and popcorn chicken (to-go). For the noodle soup, the tendon was cooked very well where it was super soft. The soup flavor itself was good, definitely soy heavy. I normally don't like noodles that aren't super thick/chewy but there was a good bounce to the noodles here (thick noodle option). The ratio of everything was good. The wontons... a bit confusing I would say because it says chili oil wonton / sour something on the menu. There wasn't any chili oil that I could taste so I asked, and the server gave me some chili oil on the side. She warned me that it was very spicy, which was not a problem for me. I added it and it was good after. Also they were the biggest size wontons I've ever seen. Basically a dumpling. For the popcorn chicken, I would say it's decent. The batter is slightly heavy but it's more like a rustic uneven crunchiness. Overall it is still a great location for beef noodle soup. I like the tendon but personally I still look to find one I like more than the version I had at House of Mandarin Noodle before it closed

    Hi, I have an egg and sesame allergy. Am I able to eat the noodles?

    Yes, you could eat the noodles

    How much is the frozen lion heads original flavor and a box of cold dish seaweed? When I called I was told lion head is about $23, but my total bill was $33, does that mean the small box of seaweed was $10? Or was that a mistake? I was in a rush...

    I'm regards to the beef noodle soup, is this place better than Bull Demon King on valley?

    If you're looking for spice no. If you're looking for for savory and flavor and better noodles then yes. Their noodles have a great texture. Plus alll the other Taiwanese dishes are a plus. Pro tip: Buy some of their XO sauce to go.

    Are the noodles hand made?

    Some are, like the house special.

    Did they change owners or management recently?

    Nope! It's still the same owners that started the business.

Thankfully, the taste lived up to the appearance. The meat was incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. It came right off the bone without falling apart completely, which gave it a really satisfying texture. What I liked most was that the beef itself was the star of the dish. It had a rich, smoky flavor and didn't rely on heavy seasoning or sauce to stand out. The lime wedges on the side were a surprisingly good addition and helped balance the richness of the meat. This was one of those dishes that made everyone at the table stop talking for a moment and just enjoy the food. Definitely the most memorable thing I ordered at Good Alley, and I would come back just for this beef rib.

It's the kind of spot where even simple dishes feel satisfying and consistent, and nothing felt like a miss. Love their XLBs! The restaurant was also noticeably clean, including the bathroom, which was well maintained and better than expected. There is however a long wait, me and my friend ended up waiting an hour one time, and 1.5 hour another time. Parking can be a bit limited during peak meal hours since the plaza has a lot of other popular eateries, so it might take a little patience to find a spot if you come during rush time. Outside of that, it's manageable. Service was friendly and efficient even when it was busy, and the overall vibe was welcoming.

We walked into a space that stands out for its modern interior, featuring private wooden booth seating that creates a cozy, semi-private dining experience, the kind of setup that makes the meal feel more intimate than a typical ramen shop. The atmosphere feels contemporary and social, with a clean, thoughtfully designed layout that works well for both casual dinners and group outings, and the attached TBaar makes it easy to finish the meal with a specialty tea or dessert without leaving the restaurant. While ramen is the restaurant's signature, many of the menu's standout dishes are actually found elsewhere. The omurice is one of the most popular items, served with a fluffy egg and rich demi-glace or curry sauce that makes it one of the restaurant's signature comfort dishes, and the presentation, with the egg split open at the table, adds a theatrical element to the meal. Other highlights include yakitori, bao buns, katsu, takoyaki, and appetizers that give the menu plenty of variety. The ramen itself is solid, with options ranging from traditional tonkotsu to the Yin Yang Ramen that lets you sample both spicy and non-spicy broths in one bowl, though the quality of the ramen can feel less memorable than some of the restaurant's other specialties, the broth lacking the depth and complexity that defines a dedicated ramen shop. The attached TBaar also adds another layer to the experience with milk teas, fruit teas, and desserts that pair well with the meal. Matcha tiramisu, Japanese cherry blossom jelly, and other sweets help round out the menu, making it easy to stay for dessert instead of stopping somewhere else afterward, and the drinks are well prepared, with the tea flavors coming through clearly without being overly sweet. The restaurant's design is one of its biggest strengths. The wooden booths provide a semi-private dining experience, and the overall space feels clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed, creating an environment that encourages lingering over a meal rather than rushing through it. Service is generally friendly and welcoming, though it can slow down during busier periods as the restaurant fills up, with the team handling the steady flow but sometimes taking longer to check in when the dining room is at capacity. The overall experience remains positive, and the pace of the meal stays comfortable even when the service stretches. Kyuramen x TBaar offers more than just ramen. The inviting atmosphere, diverse menu, and combination of savory dishes, drinks, and desserts make it a well-rounded dining destination. While the ramen may not be the strongest reason to visit compared to some dedicated ramen shops, the omurice, appetizers, desserts, and unique dining experience make it a place worth trying, especially if you are looking for variety rather than focusing on a single dish. The balance of creativity, comfort, and a polished setting makes it a versatile option for a meal that feels more like an experience than a quick stop.
