I went with friends to Luyixian in Alhambra and had a great experience eating their Chinese food! I was in the mood for 牛肉面 Beef Noodle Soup and got just that! Their noodles have a great chew, and a nice "Q" texture to them, and I loved every single bite of them. Their soup is a bit spicy, but thats my bad for asking for spicy. My party also got another order of 牛肉面 Beef Noodle Soup, and 卤肉饭 Braised Pork Rice, and shared a 空心菜 Hollow Vegetable Stir Fry. We finished everything before we left. Their portions are just perfect! Their prices are great for their portions as well, and everyone in my party table was happy with their order. Service is friendly, and our food was served in less than 5 minutes from ordering. it's a great spot if you are looking for a quick bite to eat if in a rush. They also handle a lot of take-out orders as well and are on the phone a lot. When you pass by the restaurant's sign on the street, just make a loop around to find the underground parking. It's a bit dark and you gotta climb the stairs up to find the restaurant entrance, but not too hard of a find. Their bathroom is gender neutral, large, and kept very clean, which i appreciated since we were on our way to the airport. Their 牛肉面 Beef Noodle Soup is delicious and I would definitely come back!
*4.5* Consistent rice plate Great flavor House made fresh chili on the side Had the pork rib platter, tender meat Cabbage on the side And Braised beef noodle soup Tasty broth Tender beef Good quantity of beef Recommend both dishes* More seating inside the building Parking lot garage available
I was on the lookout for a new place to get braised beef noodles from and found Luyixian. Upon arriving on a Sunday evening, we were able to get seated right away. They serve a small bowl of complimentary chicken feet soup for everyone. Another plus is that they have a clean public restroom. Food: It's $15.99 for a bowl of braised beef noodle. The soup is on the sweeter side. Noodles are bouncy and chewy. Beef is tender. I would say it's a solid beef noodle but I do prefer ones that aren't so sweet. The stir fry rice cakes were good too, no cons. Ambiance: No loud music, but there's a soft background noise from the television and you can hear stir fry noises from the woks in the kitchen. Service: Attentive and quick
Solid affordable Chinese Restaurant known for their delicious braised beef noodles! I came here back in January evening for dinner with a group of friends. This place did not disappoint. The staff are all Chinese and very friendly. Be aware that you may see the managers dog chilling outside (don't worry he's friendly). Restaurant feels small inside but there's lots of seating. The braised beef noodle soup was under $20 and was very filling and flavorful. Excellent value. Overall I'd give this place a 8.5/10. Definitely stop by if you're in the area and looking for some authentic Chinese noodles. They also have lots of spicy dishes and other Chinese dishes that look very delicious.
Came here in search of the best beef noodle soup, but it was just alright. Here are my thoughts on the whole meal: -Spicy Beef Noodle Soup: The spice level was actually pretty mild in my opinion. I enjoyed the chewy noodles and the fact that they weren't doughy or thick. I think the broth starts you off with a good savory note but leans rather sweet with each sip. The chunks of beef were pretty tender and had nice areas with a bit of fatty trim. Nice crunchy baby bok choy as well. -Collagen Chicken Broth: This was given to us for free prior to the dishes we ordered. You could tell the bone broth was collagen-rich as it was cloudy and even came with one chicken foot for each serving. This came out hot and was very comforting. Much appreciated. The restaurant and parking: The parking lot is super small and seems to be shared with the neighboring businesses. We were able to find a spot in the back. It seems like the business has two doors so there's also an entrance in front. The restaurant has seating area immediately surrounding their counter, as well as additional tables inside their connected dining room. Service was pretty quick and attentive. Overall: Not bad but not outstanding. Still on the hunt for a more savory beef noodle soup.
Had came here for dinner on a "early" Friday evening. Why I had said "early" was because there was no other customer when we arrived at 630P. Had mildly got worried after being seated in the next room as it seemed like they had just opened or had not had business, despite the 4.5 star rating at almost 500 reviews. AFTER we had ordered and got food, was when the restaurant was getting BUSY ! ALL tables were full and the restaurant was ALIVE ! (thank god...) Guess we "beat" the rush or rather "beat" everyone .... We had ordered a few things to share family style PIG EARS WITH RED OIL - standard pig ears with red oil. Nice and crunchy. Good flavor. Weirdly 3rd to be served as its a cold appetizer dish. BRAISED PORK RICE - decent portion size with BIG pieces of brasied pork belly, whole braised egg (cut in half), preserved veggies, and a mountain of cooked cabbage along with a bowl of rice covered in the braising sauce. Pork belly was super tender, fatty, and flavorful. Different from the "traditional" lu rou fan but still delicious. Probably would've prefered this in a bowl vs a plate (if eating myself). BRAISED BEEF NOODLE - again decent portion size. Lots of meat chunks and slices. pretty flavorful. SICHUAN DAN DAN NOODLE - uses the same noodles as beef noodle but the weird thing to me is how "thin" the sauce is on this. ALMOST soupy so it doesn't really "cling" to the noodles that well. LOTS of WHOLE peanuts (vs usually crushed) FRIED RICE CAKE WITH SHREDDED PORK - this was kind of sad looking. MAINLY rice cake. MINIMAL "shredded pork" and veggies. Flavor was fine but just looked sad. Overall, was fine. Service attentive was a bit weird, even when they were empty. Had to poke head out of the room to flag them down, then they got busy. Parking probably would be a pain but luckily we beat the crowd and got a parking right outside the door. Quite a "hole in the wall" place. Restroom available for customers only by the entrance.
What a nice surprise! This is a little hole-in-the-wall that can seem unassuming from the exterior but don't let that fool you! Upon entering, we were seated immediately and given a free appetizer, some sort of chicken feet soup. We ended up ordering the pork trotters, spicy beef noodles and spicy braised pork rice. Pork trotters (4.5/5): The skin was tender and juicy. It was flavorful yet not too overwhelming. Highly recommend as an appetizer to share! Braised pork rice (4/5): The braised pork just melts in your mouth! The sauce on the rice pairs well with the meat Spicy beef noodles (5/5): Definitely the star of the show! There was a decent amount of protein, the broth was savory and not too heavy. It's not very spicy, just a tad numbing akin to Szechuan style dishes. This is a must order on your first time here! Overall, I really enjoyed this experience and would recommend to those in the area looking to get some good Chinese food with tremendous value !
We love an authentic hole in the wall! My friend and I came here on a Thursday evening, and didn't have to wait at all. The restaurant itself is intimate, but never felt tight or stuffy. They bring you some chicken feet soup right away, which I personally loveeeed so much. We ordered the Braised Beef Noodle Soup - mine was normal, and his was spicy. Also some braised pig feet ("braised pork trotters" on the menu) to share. The braised pork feet were delicious! Perfectly marinated, soft and tender but still bouncy. Each bite reminded me of my childhood. The beef noodle soup was also exceptional, probably the best broth I've had in LA for this particular dish. I also tasted a bit of the spicy version, and it was very mild (in a good way for me) - on a scale from 1 to 10, I'd rate the spiciness level at 1. The meat was very tender too, and portion sizes were great. The server was kind enough to refill my soup before packing my leftovers to-go! I would def come back here! A small designated parking lot is located in the back.
I've been yearning for a good beef noodle soup and braised pork with rice for quite some time. Really since Guppies went out of business in the early 2010s. Of course, there's plenty of places that sell this in the San Gabriel Valley but I never actively searched for it. But after being able to spend more time in the SGV lately I knew I had to quell this desire somehow and luckily Luyixian fulfills all my taste desires. Well, almost. If they had popcorn chicken it would really take me back, but I digress. - Parking and Interior - Let's start off with the parking and dining space. Parking here is tight as it's a courtyard for the multiple businesses located in this somewhat shopping plaza. There is an underground parking space as well but it can feel a little hectic when it is busy. Inside the restaurant you'll either enter a tiny hallway to the dining space or the front glass door located on the street. Inside is quite small but you can see they expanded their dining room space by utilizing a different part of the building. However, when you sit in the main part of the restaurant it feels like the tiny, cozy locations you would expect in Taiwan. - Service - The great thing about Chinese/Taiwanese food is how quickly you get your food. When you sit down and are ready to order you flag down your server and order off the menu. After you do so you'll receive a soup/broth to enjoy before your meal comes out, which usually only takes about 6-10 minutes before your food appears hot and ready to go. - Food - Luyixian is specifically known for their braised pork and rice along with their beef noodle soup. We tried both and they were fantastic. The braised pork with rice comes with a slightly pickled cabbage, what I think is a tea egg, and pickled mustard greens. The pork is cooked so well it melts on your chopsticks. The flavor is robust with a slight sweetness to the deep savoriness infused in each bite. When paired with rice and the sourness of the pickled vegetables you get a well balanced spoonful. The beef noodle is similar in texture to the braised pork in the fact the meat is super tender and easily falls apart in your mouth. The soup leans more towards the sweet side but never falls into feeling like a dessert. Also, they give you so much beef with these noodles I ended up with a good amount of beef still available even after I finished the noodles. That's some generosity. We also tried the garlic cucumbers which had a nice crunch with each bite and a slightly sour, savory flavor with each bite which bursted with brightness from the natural flavor of the cucumbers. It is a clean dish to have to cut through a meal that might fall into too heavy. The red chili oil dumplings were also ordered. I wish I could rave about it but what I'd say is they are dumplings and there is red chili oil pooled at the bottom of the bowl. If you don't order this you won't be missing anything. - Final Thoughts - I had a great time at Luyixian and I'm glad I was able to come here for dinner after a long day of work. This is an easy restaurant to go to without reservations and just to enjoy a tasty meal. It isn't elaborate or fancy but you will leave satisfied and happy. For casual, tasty food with no frills, Luyixian is a perfect restaurant to dine at.
What a great place! Parking was a little tricky, so I ended up parking on the street, but it was totally worth it. The staff was very friendly as soon as I walked in. I had heard a lot about the #44 (now the #42), and wow what an amazing plate! It's so colorful, and once you take a bite, the flavors are incredible. A must try. I also ordered the spicy braised beef noodle, which was packed with flavor and generous portions of beef. Unlike many places where the broth is overly salty, this one was perfectly balanced. You should definitely check this place out well worth it. You're welcome!
Came here for lunch right when they opened. They are located in a small plaza so parking can be limited. We got seated right away and were given waters and menus. They had a Chinese show playing on a TV mounted on the wall. There's a bathroom. I got the braised pork rice which came with some cabbage and pickled veggies. The pork was savory with a good balance of fat and lean meat. They also have a bowl of complimentary chicken feet soup- it's light but savory. Very good!
Followed this restaurant from the Bicycle Club Casino for good reason. A fusion of China and Taiwan the food here is really good and they make adjustments to the menu to appease the appetite of their patrons Service is excellent as they constantly check up on you and keep all your drinks topped off. It's a real joy to see the staff that served us from the casino all here. Food - I've yet to find something I don't like here. My current favorites are the beef noodle soup, fatty beef rice, and braised pork feet. I crave it constantly only taking breaks when I'm traveling. Ambiance here is chill and generally not too loud. Great place for Chinese comfort food and to wind down from a busy day. Parking is behind the restaurant and has underground parking also. There are entrances both front and back. Highly recommend this to everyone.

The rice plates are totally good value for money! Very flavourful cuts of meats. Previously we tried their braised beef noodles (#53) and it was so delicious. One of the best braised beef noodle soups in sgv. This time we tried the rice dishes. Braised pork and braised pork elbow. So much food for $16!! Very tender and packed with a lot of flavour. Would definitely order again. Service is good and quick too read more

Brought my out of town guests here on a stop from a west coast cruise because, and I quote, "Janelle, there is NO good Asian food on the boat!" I let them order because this was to satisfy their cravings....and, they're Taiwanese that live abroad. We ordered salt & pepper spare ribs, rice cakes w/pork, pan fried dumplings, pigs feet, tendons, pig ear and to balance it out some sautéed garlic spinach. All the food was cooked authentically and my friends couldn't stop talking about how good it was. This restaurants aura is a relatively casual setting. Parking lot is tight, there's not a lot of it at street level. You can enter from the parking lot through a back door or you can enter from the street. They don't care, they are happy to see and serve you. The vibe was good. Yes, I'll e back to try all the other yummy Taiwanese dishes! read more

Had this place bookmarked for a while and then my friend ended up taking me here before I could come on my own accord. They give you the chicken feet soup to start with for free! We ended up ordering things like beef noodle soup, tripe tendon noodle soup, spicy pickled boiled fish, they were all banging! Noodles have very good chew here, almost too much. All the meats are stewed so long it was just so satisfying to me. VERY SOLID SPOT!! I want to go back already please. The place is pretty small though and can't fit too many people. Service was nice. read more
They have different beef noodle soup but i dont know the difference so i get their house special. Sometimes I ask for little spicy and they do it. If you order soup for take out, they give it to you in 1 bowl but the soup and noodles are separated so the noodles dont get soggy. Service is friendly and usually fast.They give you free chicken soup. The chicken soup comes with chicken feet and pork but you dont have to eat them if you dont like. Also,Came on a sunday afternoon and the restaurant was pretty packed. Had to wait a little to get tables. One day i will try their rice dishes. read more
I've been a big fan of this spot for a while and I'm not sure why I never left a review sooner. This place is known for their braised dishes and they do them really well. I usually get the braised pork rice, the braised pork elbow, or the braised pork intestines. All of them are delicious. They braise everything until it's super tender, then serve it over rice so the braised juices soak in. It's so good every time. I always add extra chopped peppers because I like it spicy. The peppers are a little tangy, which helps cut the richness of the braised meat. They also give you a small soup with your order, which is a nice touch. This place can get busy and they open a bit later in the day, so I usually call ahead and order for pickup. One hundred percent worth it if you're into Taiwanese style braised dishes. read more

I had to bring my family and they fell In love with this spot. The braised pork belly was super tender and flavorful, a very hefty portion was given which pairs well with the rice and pickled veggies. The spicy beef noodle soup is still my favorite item it is consistent, meat is always tender and broth is flavorful with a kick. I ordered other items not pictured such as spicy wontons and the signature rice which was very good. The only product I would recommend passing on that I've tried is the sweet and sour pork ribs as there was barley any meat. Service was quick as always and restaurant was clean. read more
Yes they have some Taiwanese dishes but the flavor profile is mainland Chinese - minced pork rice, beef noodle soup, etc. I advise you to get the non-Taiwanese items -- boiled fish, sliced beef, beef brisket, dumplings, potstickers, etc. especially if you are Taiwanese so you won't be disappointed. No matter what dish you order, add some of their in-house chili sauce and you'll enjoy it even more. Very good, personable service unusual for a Chinese restaurant. They make you feel like family here. read more
We came here for one thing and one thing only... the beef noodle soup! My first time trying it and what an experience it was. You could smell how fragrant and flavorful the broth was, the noodles were perfectly chewy, and the beef was tender. The broth was nice to sip on where it didn't feel too heavy. I'm glad my first experience of beef noodle soup was here at Luyixian. read more

10/6/25 Monday Came for a late dinner around 8 PM. Parking was plentiful underground. The entrance is a little obscured as it is tucked in the corner immediately after you exit the parking entrance. Inside looks newly remodeled and there are two separate rooms. It looks like one can be reserved for parties. We ordered Braised Pork Rice, two variations of Beef Noodle Soup, and the house special boiled fish fillet. The food came out quick. The braised pork rice could've been a little hotter, but flavor wise, it was tasty. The fish was quite spicy but tender, tasty, and hot. Overall satisfying experience. The beef soup was a bit on the saltier side, but this is usually my experience for beef noodle soup. read more

Food: 4.9/5 Service: 4.7/5 Value: 4.9/5 As a Taiwanese person, this is probably the most authentic restaurant Taiwanese food I've had in the states. I truly loved every moment of this dining experience. We started with the complimentary chicken soup, which included goji, chicken feet, vegetables and an absolutely delicious bone broth. This was a perfect beginning to the meal, and had me salivating for everything to come. We got water spinach (37), spicy beef noodles (52) and braised beef rice (51). The braised beef rice was one with water spinach was one of my favorite combos that brought me right back to Taiwan. I loved the depth of the flavor of the meat, and when combined with some light vegetables and an egg, it brought me right back to my childhood. I can't wait to come back and try other dishes! The spicy beef noodles was also great, but slightly too oily in my opinion. The noodles were still great and the broth was still delicious and spicy. I think I would try the non-spicy version next time and hope that it's just slightly less oily, but would still grab this if you're craving noodle soup! read more
We just went to a birthday brunch here & it's my first time here so I thought they might just be a dumpling house. Boy was I surprised to find a fully decorated private room for the party! They served a banquet style coursed meal & I was incredibly impressed. Not only was the service on point, the food was absolutely delicious. The chicken legs, duck, honey walnut shrimp, lobster, and the lions head soup were all stand outs! Parking was accessible too! We all want to do birthdays here now read more
MELTY TENDER JUICY GOODNESS!!! This is one of my ultimate comfort food places where I go when I just want a warm home cooked meal. I usually order togo and I love that they still give you a soup (because some places don't)! I really only order 2 things here but I'm sure the rest of the menu is good too-- pig elbow rice and braised pork rice (with chili when possible) Pig elbow is nice and tender and the skin is cooked nicely and sticky soft. The braised pork is soft, tender, fatty but not heavy. It goes soooo well with rice. The rice here is cooked well too where you can see each individual grain of rice without it being mushy or broken. The bowls also come with cabbage, pickled vegetable, and a seasoned hard boiled egg. It's a very solid meal! read more
This is def one of my favorites in SGV - loved their beef noodle and braised pork rice. Their braised pork rice was so satisfying and filling. It had chopped chili and pickled veggies with the meat braised to perfection. read more

In a busy area so it can be tricky to find parking, but the plaza has a small parking area. Came on a Sunday around 1:30 PM for lunch and waited about 10 minutes, they were very busy. We got the braised pork rice and dandan noodles, everything was delicious! The braised pork was soft and flavorful and paired well with the mustard greens, the noodles were springy and just spicy enough. The portions are very big for a very reasonable price! read more
Small shop tucked away in a tiny plaza, def hole in wall vibes but the food is delicious. We always get the braised pork rice plate, it comes with pickled veggies, egg and cabbage. We've tried the intestine rice but wasn't a huge fan. Their cold appetizers are great, we like the beef tripe the most. Their portion size is pretty big so I suggest ordering a different entree to share if you're dining with someone and want to try multiple things. One of our go to restaurants when we want something comforting and fast ! read more

The food tasted standard but everything was quite oily. The beef noodle soup was unimpressive. The soup base was decently flavourful but the noodles were on the softer side and the beef chunks were a bit tough. The braised pork rice was very fatty and the rice was oily as well. The best things on that plate were the chopped peppers that helped alleviate the greasiness of the rice and the fatty pork. The restaurant was also small and somewhat cramped, but service was fast. read more
Stopped by here after a round of Golf. Had this place bookmarked after watching a foodie on IG recommended for too beef noodles in SoCal. Man it did not disappoint. The Spicy Beef Noodles hot the spot. Noodles are yummy with nice consistency, broth is flavorful and a nice amount of spice. Also had their Red Oil Dumplings also fire. Flavorful, fresh, and the chili oil and peanuts ties it together. Place is small, fee tables in shopping center with limited parking. Staff was nice, but does look like most of their cliental are locals and usually chinese speakers. Either way def recommend this place if you are craving for some spicy beef noodles. read more
Ordered the braised pork rice and the braised pig trotter noodle soup with a side of vegetables with mushroom to share. Food was decent and delicious. The braised pork rice comes with a bowl of soup. The chopped chilis really add some spice to the meal. Would recommend looking for something quick to eat. One thing that I have to say is the parking space is very small. There is underground parking but the layout is pretty strange. And after you are done eating your meal, there is no passcode provided to open the door to the stairs leading to the underground parking. Good thing there was a group of 3 people standing nearby and one of them helped us open door. A bit strange but it was ok, otherwise you would have to walk down the area where the cars go in leading to the underground parking. read more
