    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.

Not a problem, the lunch menu was equally enticing. A 2-course offering for $25. I started with the Thai Prawn Ceviche. This course was wonderfully balanced, not too acidic, also a nice touch of sweetness and plump flavorful prawns. For the main, my selection was the Beef Truffle Wok-Seared Noodles. I was delighted that they were round noodles and they arrived at my table stirred in a dark sauce with sliced beef pieces on top. A small porcelain decanter was also supplied, containing the truffle oil. I poured it over my noodles. The beef was tender, moist and could be cut with the usual provided table knife. The whole dish was a winner, from start to finish. Service here, as expected, was well executed. Need to be aware of the parking though. There is a public garage around the corner that is advertised for this establishment and a few others. Problem is, that Star Leaf validates only for 1-hour, while their neighbors do so, for 2-hours. I addressed this issue with the manager at my last visit and this time too. The answer I got was not convincing to suggest that they care, or will do something about it, anytime soon. Oh well.

Located in a busy neighborhood of El Monte, CA, this restaurant was a pleasant surprise. Limited parking is available behind the restaurant, and street parking is an option if you can find a space.

The menu is quite extensive, with options including wraps, salads, bowls, breakfast items, smoothies, and meal-prepped dishes with chicken, beef, salmon, tofu, and much more. I was impressed by the variety of choices and portions. My wife ordered an Asian chicken salad and garlic edamame, while I had a house salad with chicken and shrimp, plus a strawberry-banana smoothie and (2) protein donuts.

The lettuce in our salads was crunchy and fresh, the chicken and shrimp were flavorful and well-seasoned, the garlic edamame was tasty and cooked perfectly, and my banana and strawberry smoothie--let's just say I wish I had another one right now, as I loved it! If I may make a small suggestion: please chop the lettuce into smaller pieces, as the lettuce on both our plates contained large pieces that we had to cut ourselves. Despite this minor item, it was a positive dining experience, and we definitely plan to return soon to try other items on the menu.

I met a friend here for dinner and had a great dine-in experience. We both ordered their "Original Nagoya Mazesoba" $15.29 and got their Karaage $8.99 to share. It was my first time here and I figured the famous original dish is always good. The noodles are thick, and all of the strands had their own little bounce to them, just the way I like it! It arrives unmixed so I also enjoyed vigorously mixing it myself and seeing it all come together. I especially enjoyed popping the poached egg on top and seeing the egg oooozing, paired with the minced pork, green onions, chives, dish powder, seaweed, and garlic. They have really perfected the recipe here to make the perfect dry noodle dish! If you dine in, the servers will also bring you a scoop of rice. I didn't really understand it at first as to why, but I later finished my noodles and thought "oooohhhhhh!" FYI the rice is used to pick up the rest of the delicious sauce left on the bottom of your bowl and it makes for an extra carb-filled surprise. The perfect way to end a noodle dish by the way, with rice for more carbs, duh! My only feedback, and I was indeed warned by my friend, is that the noodles make you a little thirsty. My friend told me she thinks its their fish powder seasoning that somehow makes you just feel like you need to chug a glass of water, so just make sure to bring a little extra water with you, haha! Also, fair warning here since you made it this far to reading this long review. The seats were very loud to move around in the dining area, and we can just about hear every squeak the metal chair made when anyone moved their seat, too!
