After visiting Singapore, we were on a desperate hunt for authentic Laksa back home. A friend of my wife recommended Le Shrimp Noodle Bar, so while we were near South Coast Plaza, we decided to check out their location in the basement Bloomingdale's Collage food hall. ​The Laksa definitely delivered. The broth was rich and creamy with deep coconut flavor and just enough heat to give it a kick without burning your mouth. The noodles had a fantastic, chewy texture. We also made one of the meals a combo to try the chilled tofu with oyster sauce, which was silky smooth and delicious. ​On top of the great food, the service was excellent--our waiter, Kyle, was exceptionally attentive throughout the meal. We will definitely be back. While they also have a location at the Irvine Spectrum, parking is definitely a lot easier at South Coast Plaza! read more

There are plenty of parking spaces. Located in the Collage at South Coast Plaza. I got their Braised Scallion Soy Chicken Dry Noodle, and it was okay. The chicken didn't have much flavor, and the noodles were okay. It tasted bland to me. Recommendation(s): - None Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Plenty of parking spaces - Located in Collage at South Coast Plaza read more

My fiancé absolutely loved his soup from Shrimp Noodle Bar, especially paired with their crispy fried wings. He definitely enjoyed every bite! I had the Wonton Chicken & Prawn Soup, and I ordered it without noodles. It was exactly what I was looking for--flavorful, comforting, and the serving size was perfect. The wontons, chicken, and prawns were delicious, and the broth was light yet satisfying. Overall, we really enjoyed our soups and the whole experience. Sometimes a simple bowl of soup hits the spot perfectly! We'll definitely be back! read more

My husband and I came here for our very first time last night. I had this place bookmarked for a long time and was super excited to try out their shrimp ramen! Our server Kyle was super friendly and attentive. He had thorough knowledge on all of the menu items and made great recommendations. The shrimp ramen did not disappoint and their house made chili oil is so yummy! Highly recommend giving this place a shot and ask for Kyle! He will take good care of you and guide you through the menu! read more

Located in the small food court(?) area near the Bloomingdale's entrance. Came on a Saturday evening, 5:15 pm and was seated quickly! You can order via QR code provided at the table or with a server, be mindful that there is an a la carte and meal option for most of the entree's, I heard several tables saying they didn't know they ordered a drink and an appetizer, so this saves a lot of headaches for the kitchen & staff! I loved my hainanese chicken dish, I seriously ate everything off of my plate & my only complaint is that they don't offer a bigger size lol! The 2A noodle dish was also devoured; you get to choose from 3 noodle options, we opted for the rice noodle. We will definitely be back to explore the menu, since many other restaurants located at SCP are always jam packed. DTF had a 4 hour wait today, never seen it ever exceed 2 hours so wow! We had a good meal today, thank you Le Shrimp Noodle Bar - Costa Mesa! read more

Very tasty spot. Took a while to take my order, but it was after rush, and they were very friendly once they got to me.

Singapore Laksa shrimp ramen with wide noodle was excellent. Broth was incredibly rich, and coated the noodles well. Comparatively, the regular shrimp ramen broth tasted a bit thin. Shrimp was super fresh and had the bounce quality. Didn't care much for the wonton and shrimp ball. Definitely a must try, especially the laksa. read more

Have been coming here for years with coworkers since it's close to work, so I was excited to introduce my family to this place on a Sunday night we happened to be shopping at South Coast Plaza. We came for an early dinner, so there wasn't much of a wait. Still, the place itself was at ~80% capacity (not saying a whole lot since this place is pretty small--definitely not suitable for larger parties). They must have recently added a few things on the menu, cuz they had dishes I'd never seen before here (e.g., Hainan chicken rice, laksa) that were categorized as "Singaporean Dishes" on the menu. I got the laksa, husband got the shrimp trio, toddler got the braised chicken dry noodle, and we got the bok choy in oyster sauce for the table. The laksa was a little spicier than I generally like my laksa to be, so it took me a while to eat it (had to keep taking breaks). Husband enjoyed his shrimp trio, although he was hoping it would be more spicy since it had a chili pepper indicator on the menu. He ended up getting the chili oil on the side, and really enjoyed ,it so overall still really liked the dish. Toddler devoured his dry noodle, and the bok choy was great! Service was just okay; they never really came by to check on us, so took a while to get our check. BUT love that they set out plastic tableware and utensils when we noted we had a toddler. Overall, a good visit and would definitely come back. read more

I've had this restaurant bookmarked for a long time and finally got to try it when meeting a friend. Funny enough, another friend I met the day before also recommended it before I even mentioned it! She raved about the chain and said she often visited the Irvine location. That really sealed the deal for me, and I was excited to finally try it! The location we went to is located in the food court across of a new boba spot and Mochinut on the first floor of the Collage Culinary Experience in the South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. There is ample open air free parking around the area for customers. We visited during their weekday happy hour (2:30-5pm) which offered three different deals: $9.99 with two chicken options, $12.99 with either ebiko prawn ball or crispy cod, and $13.99 with the big prawn shrimp and chicken noodle. All included a non-alcoholic beverage. It was a great deal! My friend recommended the trio noodle soup, but it wasn't part of the happy hour special, so I chose the last option. I ordered their Big Prawn Noodle with iced Oolong tea. The broth was light with a hint of umami, but not as fragrant as I expected it to be based on the reviews and my friend who frequents this chain. Maybe I got the newer, top batch without the deeper flavor and umami? The shrimp was also not the huge beautiful prawns that their menu showed - just those regular frozen round headed ones. I was a bit disappointed by my meal. My friend ordered their Ebiko Prawn Ball Dry Noodle, and my boyfriend ordered their Trio Shrimp Dry Noodle. The ebiko prawn ball tried was really good. If it's homemade, kudos to the restaurant! There was a lot of flavor in that small prawn ball which was amazing. Overall, an ok spot in my opinion. It was unfortunately a bit underwhelming but maybe it was just a bad day when we went. I do want to come back and try their Signature Trio Shrimp Noodle and maybe some of their appetizers at our next visit! read more

Place was nice, clean, and well organized. Broth was rich but incipid. Wait staff was professional and efficient. The shrimp were cooked just right, the shrimp balls were plump and genuinely meaty with ground shrimp but the wonton included was meh. Nice experience but may not try again. read more

If comfort food had a mascot, it'd be a shrimp! This place proves it. Every bite feels like a warm, savory hug straight from the sea. The broth is deeply, unapologetically shrimpy, with a rich, silky mouthfeel that clings to the thick, chewy noodles. Service can be a bit of a gamble (sometimes spot-on, sometimes hard to track down,) but the second that steaming bowl hits the table, nothing else matters. Bonus points for the playful shrimp-themed decor! With limited seating, there's often a wait, but if you're stuck in line, at least the mall gives you something to do. Highly recommend trying the Signature Trio Shrimp Noodle with wide noodles! read more

Stopped by for the weekday lunch special deal and was blown away by how good the food was! Big Prawn Shrimp Broth Noodle (10/10): umami broth where I could taste actual shrimp! Very delicious. The noodles had a chewy texture (which I love) and the portion was good. Also, it came with 4 pieces of shrimp! Green Tea (10/10): the green tea tasted very premium and paired well with the noodles Service was very friendly. The staff checked in often. Ordering is very easy. You can order with the staff or scan the QR code on the menu and order through your phone. Located in the South Coast Plaza (next to Bloomingdales) so plenty of parking. Restaurant was clean and ambiance was chill. Will definitely visit again! read more

This small restaurant is part of the Paradise Dynasty conglomerate from Singapore. It's situated on the lower level of the food court in Bloomingdale's in South Coast Plaza. Its larger sister restaurant Paradise Dynasty is upstairs. There are now 2 Paradise Dynasty's in the US, both in Southern CA (Costa Mesa and Glendale). There are 5 Le Shrimp Noodle Bars in the US, 3 in Southern CA (Costa Mesa, Irvine and Glendale). While Paradise Dynasty offers a large menu similar to Din Tai Fung, Le Shrimp offers a smaller menu focusing on noodles with shrimp or chicken broth. I arrived at opening time, and the place filled up pretty quickly. There are some small booths and tables along the edges with a large communal table in the middle. You can order off a QR code, but it's just as easy to order in person. Since this was my first visit, I ordered their signature dish, Signature Trio Shrimp Noodle. It came with 3 prawns, 2 prawn balls, and one prawn/chicken wonton, plus cabbage and green onions. You have a choice of thin or wide noodles. I chose wide, which were about the thickness of linguini. The broth was a very savory shrimp broth, which apparently takes some time and effort to make. While the broth was great, the prawns were not that flavourful nor large; the prawn balls and wonton had more taste. I ordered the dish as a combo, which includes an appetizer and drink. My app choice was chilled tofu with vegan oyster sauce and crispy onions, very nice. My drink choice was "iced" oolong tea, which was a can of tea. Note the restaurant does not have an ice machine! So the tea was somewhat chilled, served in the can with a straw. The water was room temperature. Service was good. There was just one server but he was experienced and quick on his feet. Someone who looked like the manager was helping him at first until he had to leave, probably for a meeting. The noodles did take awhile to come out. You can pay in person or via QR code. Overall a decent meal. I would probably choose Paradise Dynasty for its more extensive menu. There's a pho place next to Le Shrimp that looked pretty busy too. read more

Honestly was pretty disappointed with this place because we enjoyed Paradise Dynasty. When we got there Saturday 3PM the restaurant wasn't even full. The hostess was literally at desk and no one acknowledged us for at least 5 min - I had to actually ask the hostess if we could be seated and she still told us to wait. I don't mind waiting but an acknowledgment would be nice because we were just standing and wondering if she even saw us. When we got sat, the table next to us was whispering about how bad the service was too. There was one guy who was actually attentive but everyone else looked like they didn't want to be there. Then on to the food...I ordered the Laksa because its only served 25 bowls daily. Yeah don't order it, it's basically their shrimp ramen but with coconut essence. This place did not live up to the hype. read more

I have been going to this place for the last three years because it's far away from me and it's in Costa Mesa the one that I've always go every time when I stop by at Bloomington . This is the best shrimp noodle soup that I have ever eaten so far . I ordered the Shrimp Trio Noodles Soup. The soup is very rich in flavor, noodle is chewy and the shrimp is big and fresh. It comes with shrimp balls and wontons. Sometimes a little too salty for me, I just add extra hot water to dilute it, it's still taste great ~~ you gotta try it to believe it I give 9/10 because of the saltiness (may be just me) otherwise will be 10 Waiting is always packed, so go in either before lunch rush or hi-tea time. Sometimes they offer 20% Happy Hour discounts. Just check their Yelp or website when they have it, not year round. Ofc, they have another appetizer like chicken cutlets also crispy and flavorful. Gotta try everything, you might like other stuff right. The Dynasty upstairs is also owned by them, stop by to try their rainbow dumplings and chicken noodles soup. Food is awesome there as well.

When I make broths or stock at home, I love adding shrimp shells for umami and depth. However, this is the first time I've heard of a restaurant that specializes in shrimp broth. I was intrigued to learn more when a friend suggested meeting up for dinner. Since it was my first time, I asked our group for their recommendation. If it's your first time too, go with the Signature Trio Shrimp Noodle ($18.95). It has a little bit of everything, such as succulent prawns, Ebiko prawn balls and a few prawn & chicken wontons. I opted for thin noodles, but you have the option for wide noodles as well. The noodle soups comes with cabbage and green onions, but the absolute star is the broth. It's got a silky, creamy texture combined with rich smoky umami that I slurped almost to the last drop. While the shrimpy toppings were cooked to perfection, I think the most stand out item I enjoyed was the shrimp ball. Overall, great first time. Id' be interested in giving their Crispy Cod Noodle a try for next time, or even try the appetizer portion. read more

Le shrimp Noodle bar is nestled next to parking garage of the Irvine spectrum. I have tried many shrimp noodle places before, so i thought why not give this place a try. It was a slow Wednesday lunch, I was greeted by one of the staff and he sat me down. The restaurant was quite small but nicely decorated. I ordered the big prawn noodle which the broth was cooked for 8 hours long, topped with cabbage and green onions. After only a 5 min wait, my delightful bowl is ready. The noodles were chewy and fresh, the prawn was big and juicy, and the broth was tasty and not over powering. I can say I had better but honestly not bad being in Irvine! Tip - get the fried onions and sautéed garlic on the side. It adds a punch of flavor to every bite! read more

After having been to Le Shrimp at Spectrum without my husband I knew he had to try it for himself as he is one of the biggest shrimp lovers I know. This location is much smaller and typically has a wait. Unfortunately you can't put your name in here and walk away, you have to queue until a table is available. Luckily, even on a Saturday afternoon it only took about 10-15 minutes to be sat. I love that they have the combos here, I got the prawn and chicken wonton noodle soup with the tofu. I love how fresh their tofu is, it's absolutely delicious with the fish sauce and scallions. The soup was delicious too. The broth just has such depth of flavor, it's really well seasoned. My husband loved it, of course. I'd come back to this location. read more

It's honestly pretty solid. Broth is rich and shrimpy. I like that I can choose between thick and thin noodles. It reminds me much of the van canh tom cua broth, and I always have leftovers to turn into a leftovers meal at home. It can get crowded, but things move fast. People eat and then they bounce. Few folks linger. The staff works hard to keep up. read more

Shoutout to Kyle and Victor! Thank you to our servers who made our dining experience worth the visit. If you are looking for an easy weekday meal while you are at the mall, this is the spot for you. The wait was only 5 minutes at 2:40 pm on a Wednesday and we got seated in a quiet booth in the corner. Note that extra chili oil is $1 up charge if that's ok with you! We ordered from their weekday special and picked 2 different sets: Big Prawn Noodle Soup - 4.5/5 Bursting with shrimp flavor, their broth does not miss!! Topped with 5 large prawns, you have a choice between wide and thin noodles. I opted for their wide noodles but they could pass as thin/medium thickness. I would've loved to see a thicker option but it did not compromise the flavor or texture. It would have also been nice if you could have options for how cooked you'd like the noodles as well because by the halfway point, noodles became softer as they sat in the broth. In the dish, you also are served cabbage as your veggies. Overall, I still come back time after time when I am craving a ramen dish that isn't your traditional pork broth! Ebiko Prawn Ball Dry Noodle: 5/5 If you like Mala style chili, this is the noodle dish for you. Balanced with cucumber, this dish packs all the umami you need when you don't want a soup based noodle dish. The prawn balls are my absolute favorite here! Each ball is made with shrimp and roe that pops and gives texture with each bite. Texture of the noodles were perfect here and consistent throughout the whole duration of the meal. Drinks: All chilled drinks are served in pre-packed cans but you are able to get ice on the side as well. We got a Coke, Sprite, and Green tea. Note that the green tea is unsweetened. read more

I've always heard about this place for the longest time. The line was long during the Christmas holidays, but we waited just short of 30 minutes to be the seated. Customers are expected to have their phones so that they can order digitally. You really can't go wrong with any of the prawn noodle dishes (I got mine with chicken). I wasn't that impressed with the bok choy w/ vegan oyster sauce, since I know how to cook that at home and the presentation was a mess.

We're visiting from St. Louis, Missouri, and decided to try this ramen spot after my sister‑in‑law highly recommended it based on her own great experience. I'm so glad we listened, because it absolutely lived up to the hype. We arrived around 4:30 p.m., and fortunately the restaurant wasn't too busy at that time. We were seated right away and given a QR code to scan for ordering. The only small hiccup was that the Wi‑Fi and cell signal inside were extremely weak, so the menu wouldn't load on our phones. The server noticed and kindly offered to take our order manually, which worked out perfectly since we already knew what we wanted. Our food came out in a nice, steady flow. First up was the beancurd appetizer, served piping hot, full of flavor, and honestly the perfect way to start the meal. Next came the kid's meal of fries and nuggets, which were clearly fresh out of the fryer and a big hit with my little one. Finally, my ramen and my son's chicken bowl arrived. The moment you step inside, the ambiance really transports you. The décor, the lighting, the overall atmosphere, it all feels like a cozy ramen shop you'd stumble upon in Japan. But the real star of the experience was the ramen itself. I ordered the shrimp ramen, and I was completely blown away. At first glance, I thought the broth was topped with spicy chili oil, but it turns out that beautiful color and depth came from the shrimp broth itself. The flavor was incredibly rich and savory, and the shrimp were unbelievably fresh, crispy, perfectly cooked, and full of that sweet, clean taste you only get from high‑quality seafood. Truly, this was the best shrimp ramen I've ever had. No exaggeration. I'm already hoping we can come back on a future trip because this place is absolutely worth a return visit. Excellent job to the whole team. read more

The noodles were fresh and the broth is out of this world! The space is small and I noticed getting sat in between two other parties while they reserved bigger groups in other areas. I would have liked a little more space from the other 4 people around me, but it seemed they were close to leaving. read more

Solid spot with a lighter feeling ramen. I've had fish based soup bowls before here in Lake Forest but this was the first time I had a shrimp bowls. I did taste a little bit of the smoky flavor but not quite as much as I was hoping for. SUP noodle houses pho was a lot smokier. The bowl came out piping hot and overall I thought it was a good meal. Looks like it's a sister restaurant to the paradise place up stairs. Noodles were good. Shrimp was good as well. Next time I might try the chicken broth or head on upstairs and order from paradise and pair it with some dumplings. Also ordered the cucumber appetizer but forgot to take a picture. Again. Everything was pretty good just not over the top. Service was quick and efficient. It is located downstairs in a little food court in Bloomingdale's. read more

This is located in south coast plaza in the food area. There was a small line when we came on a Sunday around 1pm, however they are very efficient. They gave everyone in line menus and also gave us a QR code to order our food while we were still in line so once we sat down, our food came out almost instantly. I ordered the shrimp ramen with crispy cod and wide noodles. I wish the noodles were thicker although they were nice and chewy. The broth was very rich, creamy and delicious. I was surprised at how tender the cod was although since it was sitting in the soup, it wasn't very crispy. Portion sizes are generous, I wasn't able to finish the entire bowl. read more

Le Shrimp Noodle Bar - Ramen Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Modestly sized noodle shop serving piping hot, smokey, shrimpy noodle soups. Service is fast and attentive and the interior is super attractive, with murals embedded with shrimp lining the walls (last Christmastime each shrimp had a Santa hat painted on them, which was cute). We always get a shrimp ramen either with cod or with shrimp balls. The broth is the main event here: rich, shrimpy, fatty, steamy, well-seasoned, with a distinct smoked wok-hei flavor. The cod is crispy and most definitely made of cod; I recommend getting it on the side to keep it crispy and dip it into the soup as you see fit. Among the "shrimp trio" options I like the shrimp balls the most, which is pleasantly shrimpy with some crispy eggs giving a nice textural contrast. And the thin noodles are springy and chewy, holding onto a lot of soup per slurp. I've used "shrimpy" a lot in this shrimpy review but for a shrimp ramen place called Le Shrimp serving primarily shrimp, it's on-brand. Suffice it to say if you don't like shrimp, you probably won't like the shrimpy Le Shrimp. Otherwise, check it out; it's unique and often less crowded than other Asian spots inside of South Coast.

The waiter told us that she's the only water and that there are new recruits being trained in the back, but it will take like 30-45 minutes. We were fine with that and the food came out sooner than the time estimated. We got the signature trio shrimp noodle and prawn and chicken wonton in vegan broth. Both were good but if they were hotter, then they would be better. The signature one, it did have a strong shrimp based soup, which was nice. Also, they ran out of soy milk and hot tea options when it was opened less than an hour haha. A bit odd. I think considering the circumstances, it was an overall good experience. read more

Very pleased with the service here. Our friend had a shrimp allergy and asked if the non shrimp menu items were safe to eat, and our waiter was very straightforward and let us know that they couldn't guarantee it. A shame for my friend, but they let him bring in some food from a nearby vendor to eat with us. I had the wonton soup, which was very good. Broth was balanced and bold with its flavors, noodles were cooked perfectly, and wontons were sweet, but not too sweet. My only complaint is that the portion size, while including ample noodles and broth, could have used larger wontons or maybe one more in the bowl (it came with 3).

Second visit, to try their shrimp trio ramen. The broth is indeed amazing. Slightly smoky, deep, and fulfilling. The noodle sop up the broth and blend with it satisfyingly. Truly a comfort food if you like shrimp broth. If you're looking for more punch, add the chilli oil. It really elevates the taste profile. But the trio though, left nothing to be excited about. It felt like they are a separate addition rather than completes the meal. The shrimp ball and wonton is a bit sweet. They might be good with chili oil as an appetizer, but together with the ramen it kinda felt like a 'friend of the family' rather than being of the same lineage. The shrimp confirmed my previous review, so i retain the same stars. read more

Really had higher hopes for this "food hall" in general but ended up choosing to eat here as the most interesting option and it ultimately wasn't worth. The shrimp ramen was very just okay. The flavoring I didn't really care for and it wasn't very interesting. I also found it a bit too sour to eat for what I was expecting. The shrimp really didn't make up for it. The braised chicken dry noodles also seemed like a very average dish I could order at any fast food chain. The shrimp tacos I was most excited for, but these were a 1-bite wanton with pretty meh flavoring. The service/ambience gives very fast food with no one really as your primary server. There's a line out the door for seating which makes it seem super popular and it probably does get fairly busy. Not sure there are better options otherwise in this "food hall" but wouldn't drive back just for dinner. read more

It was just okay. Nothing special and I doubt I'll be returning unless I happen to be there and can't find anything better. The signature dish/raman (I think it was called A1 on the menu) was decent but had some odd flavors going on. My wife who isn't Asian had one bite and was, this is too funky and she didn't eat anymore. The wonton with chilis had way too much chili and sichuan peppers. It overwhelmed all other flavor. The spring rolls were not very good. The skin was way too thick and made it too bready. Good spring rolls have super thin wrapping. The only thing we really liked was the bok choy. read more
