    Beef noodle soup
    Amy L.

    Was pretty hyped up about this place because all of the Michelin recognitions. Inside is your typical mom & pop noodle shop but also with some cold side dishes that you can buy to eat there or for takeout. I got the beef noodle soup and I personally think it's just ok. I was surprised to see that they just used regular ole spinach for the veggie. Not sure if the price is really worth it. Also, just a heads up: this establishment is cash only, so remember to bring your cash!

    Been wanting to go to this iconic noodle spot for a long time. Their hours of 11:30-2:30pm daily provide only a small window to dine here and I'm also assuming it gets busy here on the weekends. So unless you're close buy during the week it may take a bit of planning. The place has the vibe /feel of a mom and pop type place that's been around for quite a while. The offerings are pretty streamlined here with some items available to go, but I went with the classic and order the beef noodle soup. The noodles were chewy and the soup was flavorful and delicious. Because I came in during the weekday, I was able to come and get seated and get my food really quickly. My experience was very easy and satisfying. In terms of parking I found some right on the street. There is a small lot as well.

    I've been coming to Dai Ho for years, and there's no denying that their beef noodle soup is delicious. The broth is rich and flavorful, the noodles have a great texture, and it's easy to see why they've built such a loyal following. My biggest issue is the price. When I first started coming here, a bowl was around $12, which already felt a little expensive compared to other noodle shops. Over the years, the price has continued to climb, and now it's about $20 for a bowl of beef noodle soup. While the quality is still good, I personally don't feel the value matches the current price point. It's a tasty bowl of noodles, but at $20, it's becoming harder to justify regular visits when there are so many other great options available. If price isn't a concern, you'll probably enjoy it, but for me, the rising cost has taken away some of the appeal.

    $20 for beef noodle soup is pricey but the broth was nice and rich. Got the mild spice and was happy with it especially with the tenderness of the relatively generous portions of beef. $16 for tiny bowl of sesame noodles was a rip off though. Cash only!

    There's a parking lot behind the shop. Restaurant has fair number of tables close together, but not good for large groups. They're known for their Beef Noodle Soup, $20. Large chunks of beef which were pretty soft. The broth was tasty. A little spicy for our kids. Sadly, the Vegetable cold noodles was literally just noodles, sliced cucumbers and sauces on the side. See photo. VERY overpriced for $16. Would not order it again.

    We came because of their latest post pop up about how good their food are. Lets say I dont think I will be back again. Beef stew itself did cooked amazingly soft. But thats all there is. Not sure about Michelin stars level. The soup based is too plain. We order original the spicy and a mild ($20 each). And we ordered the sesame noodles ($16) just sesame and noodles not sure how this can be at $16. Their side dishes in to-go small container range $14-$18 (way over priced). We went in 6 people of course there was a wait which is fine but 2 sesame noodles and 3 beef stew noodles for over $120 not sure if i will return. I prefer PP pop in monterey park or same owner Mr Dragon noodles on valley San Gabriel over this.

    Purely based on taste, it's probably the best beef noodle soup outside of taiwan. Beef is super tender and flavorful. Broth is perfectly seasoned and savory. But $20 for a bowl? A little ridiculously steep imo. Also how is a side of tripe $16? It's a couple spoonfuls worth. Pretty bummed by the weird hours, steep prices, and cash only. Paid with zelle. But couldn't find the prices of the side dishes anywhere. Didn't necessarily like that. Paid $100 for 3 bowls of beef noodle soup, a side of bean curd and a side of tripe. Way too pricy. That being said, I'll probably be back but not for a while lol.

    I've heard great things about this spot serving authentic Taiwanese beef noodles in Temple City, but it's extremely difficult to find time in our schedules, as they're only open 6 days a week, from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM. Just a heads-up: they only accept cash or Zelle. We ordered two dishes to share - the #1 Sesame Sauce Dry Noodles ($15.00) and the #5 Beef Stew Soup Noodles ($19.00). Both were excellent! From a value perspective, the Beef Stew Soup Noodles offered more for your money with a generous portion of beef, soup, and noodles, while the Sesame Sauce Dry Noodles felt a bit pricey for the portion size. We recently tried a similar dish at another well-known Taiwanese restaurant in DTLA, but we preferred Dai Ho's creamy sesame flavor. The Beef Stew Soup Noodles were cooked perfectly - the noodles were bouncy, and the broth was fragrant, spicy, and not overly oily. My wife, who is Chinese and lived in Taiwan, says they're authentic, but not as good as the ones in Taiwan, but better than anything we've had here. We will definitely be back the next time we are craving authentic Taiwanese noodles!

    It's a small cozy restaurant in the corner, not a lot of parking in the parking lot but there's street parking, my bowl started at $19, I rate it a 7.5/10 because I loved the meat, prob one of the best meat I've tasted in a noodle soup, I'm not the biggest fan of beef noodle soup hence my rate is biased but this was their specialty so I got to try it! It's a Michelin one star location as well!

    The best beef noodle soup in the SGV! I've heard about this place for a while but it wasn't the most convenient to go with their hours. Well I'm glad I finally tried it. The noodles were the perfect size and chewiness. The broth was beefy, slightly spicy, and perfectly seasoned without being too soy sauce heavy or herb/anise heavy. The meat was so tender and not dry at all. Literally no notes, perfect beef noodle soup in every aspect. So hearty and comforting.

    Craving Taiwan Flavor and Noodles? Dai Ho specializes in comfort food and taste so good. My family loves this place for reliable taste. Ordered the following: 1. Dan Dan Noodles (Peanut Sauce) extra spicy **** 2. Vegetal Dry Cold Noodles **** 3. Chicken Noodle Soup

    Dai Ho is a family run restaurant in the heart of Temple City. They have amazing noodle dishes, you can't go wrong with anything you order there. My go to dish is the Taiwanese beef noodle soup. It's the perfect portion size and the broth is so rich and delicious. They close as soon as they are out of food for the day. The service is great too, they are very quick with their orders and the staff are very friendly. I recommend this place for anyone looking for some comfort food.

    Came on a Saturday afternoon at around noon and the restaurant was packed! The wait wasn't long and we were seated promptly. Ambiance is definitely on the more casual end. Service was attentive. Heads up: restaurant only takes Zelle/cash and is only open from 11:30AM-2PM. 1. Beef stew noodle soup- rich, bold and flavorful broth. Beef was also very tender and fresh. Definitely a comforting, satisfying bowl- but slightly on the pricey side for what it is. Parking can be a bit difficult with the small lot in the back but you can definitely find street parking in the front.

    Not worth $20 a bowl. Noodles felt bland. Beef was tender but overall not the best beef noodle soup I've had and not worth the price.

Although this is not like the other Noodle St locations when it comes to seating/restaurant vibes, it services quite the same.

Always not too salty but just the perfect amount of flavoring. Portions are generous as well which is always a plus. You get to customize your noodle style to your preference. My go to is always knife cut or standard, can't go wrong with either depending on what you like. Service is great, staff is quick, smooth, and very friendly. They're professional as well in a way where it's like a luxury restaurant, very well done to the staff. Overall, a great spot for Noodle St, and very consistent like all the other locations.

    Saw the red bold letters driving by on Duarte Rd and immediately made plans to come here for Xi'an…read morefood! We don't usually see specific Xi'an food around all the time, so my fiancé and I were excited to come back. Now we know, Xi'an Foodie has delicious, authentic Xi'an food here at affordable prices as well. We go all out when we are trying somewhere new for the first time usually, so we got 5 dishes for less than $75 including tax and tip. We ordered the 1) Smashed Cucumber Salad 黄瓜, 2) Sesame Sauce Cold Spicy Noodle 凉拌辣面, 3) Li Lao San's Lamb Stew with Flatbread / 李老三牛肉泡馍, 4) Li Lao San's Cumin Lamb Hamburger / 李老三孜然羊汉堡, and 5) Youpo Noodles with Braised Beef Brisket, Beef Paste & Fried Eggs with Tomato / 油泼+三合一. First, they have the best Cold Noodle (Liang Pi) in SoCal that I've had - they are amazingly chewy and wide, and their tangy savory sauce is the best. When I think about liangpi, I'm definitely going to Xi'an food for another slurp of these noodles mmmm! I also haven't had Li Lao San's Lamb Stew with Flatbread / 李老三牛肉泡馍 in a while, so that was a must-get. This is my favorite thing of all Xi-an cuisine and a traditional dish as well. It is slow-cooked lamb broth and torn pieces of handmade flatbread dough to make it into a warm soup; it's rich and seasoned with herbs and spices for that perfect sip and I just love chewing on the dough inside the soup. I didn't know this was missing from my life until I had another sip and now I crave it every day! The service is fast and our waitress was friendly and helpful. They brought all of our dishes out in less than 10 minutes and our whole table was filled. We ordered way too much food, and we know it, so we got to take it all home to enjoy for another meal. We will definitely be coming back for their lamb stew, liang pi, and wide noodles!

With so many restaurant choices around, I really regret choosing this one. There was absolutely no greeting or explanation when I walked in. I assumed I had to order by scanning the QR code, but the cell reception inside was poor, so I spent quite a while trying unsuccessfully to place my order. It wasn't until I saw another customer walk up to the counter and speak to a staff member that I realized I could order there, so I got in line and did the same. The restaurant itself is very small, and you basically find your own seat. Water, napkins, and disposable utensils are all self-service, and after eating, you're expected to place your dishes at a window on the side. The front door was left slightly open -- it seemed like it might be broken -- and there were flies flying around inside. That was very unappetizing and made the whole dining experience uncomfortable. Since this was my first time here and I hadn't read any reviews beforehand, I ordered one of my favorite types of noodles. Unfortunately, it was terrible. It was overwhelmingly salty with no depth of flavor at all. The best way I can describe it is noodles tossed in dark soy sauce -- just salty and one-dimensional. From the environment to the service to the food, the entire experience really turned me off. There are so many restaurants to choose from, including plenty serving similar food, that I honestly don't think I'd be willing to come back and try anything else here.

Extremely flavorful and the noodles had an amazing bounce to them. I'll definitely be back to try new items. I also got the pumpkin cake and that was delicious too. A bit oily since it's fried but yummy.
