The price is nice and will leave you full before eating the entire bowl. The green onion pancake for me was the star of the show though. It was so dang good. I could've eaten 3 entire plates of it. It was also a hit with my little nephew, very grab-able and his favorite item to stuff into his face. The day we went there was a cook and one server but they did their best to serve everyone as fast as they could but the items took a bit of time to come out through no fault of their own. Parking is easy!

It was not busy at all on a saturday evening so there were a lot of tables open. I tried their wife special noodle and it was so comforting and delicious! It reminded me of beef tomato noodles but without the soup. The noodles were perfectly bouncy and chewy. Everything is affordable and fairly priced and generous portions. They have a parking lot in the back. Definitely one of my go to spots in sgv when im craving Chinese noodles.

Definitely a must-order. * Braised Beef Noodle Soup - Rich, comforting broth with tender beef and chewy handmade noodles that really hit the spot. * Dan Dan Noodles - Creamy, nutty, and packed with bold sesame flavor with just the right amount of spice. * Mustard Green Beef Noodles - A comforting bowl with tender beef, chewy noodles, and pickled mustard greens that add the perfect tangy kick.

I went straight for the braised pork noodle -- essentially a hong shao niu rou mian situation --…read moreand it delivered where it counted. The noodles themselves had great texture and the braised pork was a mixed bag. When it was good, it was genuinely tender and satisfying. But the consistency wasn't quite there -- some bites were exactly what you'd hope for, others ran a little dry. For a dish that lives and dies on the braise, that 50/50 split is hard to ignore. The broth also felt like it stopped just short of the depth and richness you want from a bowl like this -- solid base, but could push harder on flavor. The pork potstickers though? Zero complaints. Crispy bottoms, well-seasoned filling, and a satisfying bite all the way through. If you're on the fence about ordering them, don't be. The chili oil on the table is also worth mentioning -- punchy and well-balanced. Use it liberally, especially if you feel like the broth needs a little more punch. One practical note -- the restaurant runs warm inside. Not unbearable, but noticeable. Do yourself a favor and ask for iced water when you sit down. You'll want it. LAN Noodle is a spot with real potential. The bones are there -- the execution just needs a bit more consistency to match the ambition.

Thick+chewy noodles with a savory+spicy sauce, I'm in! Menya Hanabi's noodles just bounced itself…read moreinto the top of noodle list for the best dry noodle/brothless noodle dish I've ever had. 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! Other than those things, the noodles are a life I've already been raving about Menya Hanabi to my friends and will definitely come back!

Ambiance is nice with shades drawn over the windows and strong AC. There's bar and table seating. I got the deluxe mazesoba ($18) which comes with charsiu, minced pork, poached egg, and green onions. There's a good amount of chewy thick noodles underneath. Very flavorful- so much so that I recommend adding vinegar to lessen the greasy taste. Upon request, you can get a free scoop of rice to mix into the leftover sauce. I remember they used to give a full bowl but now it's just a scoop.

We had a party of 8, but they were able to accommodate us with a reservation made in advance. Also, they are halal, so it's great for eating here with friends who might have that dietary restriction. After getting seated, you scan the QR code on the table to place your order. I shared the Youpo Noodles with Fried Eggs with Tomato and the Youpo Noodles with Special Beef Paste. Both were very flavorful, and I loved the texture of the noodles. They were perfectly chewy. We got "mildly spicy," and it was just right. But be warned, I heard that ordering spicy is VERY spicy, so choose your spice level with caution! Parking can get tricky here since there's only a small parking structure, so make sure to allow extra time for that!

Recently, I noticed the lines disappeared so we came for an early dinner. The interior is pretty cool. It's kit just tables and chairs but the design element is unique. Some seating are inside a honeycomb shaped booth, some are just in the middle of the dining area. We were seated at a table that resembles a birdcage. There's a lot of wood and warm colors, which makes the ambiance stand out over other ramen places. We ordered a ramen, omurice with katsu, some skewers and popcorn chicken. The spicy ramen was delicious, but there was no soft boiled egg as shown on the menu photo. All I saw was a broken egg white at the bottom of the bowl. 4/5. The omurice was nicely done. The egg was perfectly soft and silky with a nice curry sauce in the side. The katsu that came with it was crispy, hot and tasty. 4.5/5. The popcorn chicken was great. Perfect seasoning and crispy. 5/5. The skewers however, were the low point of our dinner. They did not appear they were cooked fresh. The meats were dry and tough. The scallops were OK but tiny. Chicken was average. The whole order did not satisfy. We also got an Amazing Lemonade and Thai iced tea. The lemonade was a very refreshing drink, and the Thai tea is just like all other places. Our server, unfortunately forgot his name, was excellent. Very personable and great at describing flavors. The friendliness extends to the rest of the staff too. It's a nice place to check out. Note their parking lot is fairly small, and shared with Paris Baguette next door. It's a 4.5, rounded up.

My favorite appetizers are always the popcorn chicken and crispy hot piping purple sweet potato fries!! Their ramen is also super yummy, but I prefer their tonkatsu omurice with curry sauce. Love the fluffy egg blanket over the rice on that dish. I also enjoy getting their omurice as a combo since it comes with a Thai tea! As for desserts, I can vouch for their matcha pudding and matcha tiramisu which were not too sweet :) I'm only giving them 4 stars bc it's slightly pricy and also I feel like as nice as the free coupons on the ramen bowl are if you win them, it's also a gimmick especially because you have to redeem it the next time you visit AND dine in. I feel like I have to come back and spend even more money to get my free item, so I feel a little robbed. Something for the restaurant to reconsider. Maybe allow customers to redeem their free item the day of their visit or allow us to redeem it to go instead of dine in. Overall super great restaurant though and everyone should try their food at least once!

Who would've guessed that the BEST Beef Noodle Soup would have been in the middle of Arcadia. The BEST. And the pork & shrimp dumplings some of the BEST we've had in SF and LA top spots. The cold jelly dish (mung bean) is AMAZING. Who knew such a small unassuming mom and pop shop could rival some of the Michelin spots we've ventured to. But honestly, most food that's made like your Mama made it is obviously gonna be better than any restaurant you ever go to. This is like they just happened to have a restaurant in their home. The food came out almost immediately, that broth had been cooking to perfection for who knows how long. Every bite of every dish was PER-FEC-TION. Just WOW. Thank you Auntie!!

Usually get the Gizzard (#2) or the Braised Pork (#3). Portions are huge and if you're not feeling super hungry, this can definitely work as 2 meals. There's also toppings such as green onion, cilantro, etc that are self served. Other reviews say soup can get pretty spicy, but it's not too bad. This is coming from someone who has a very low spicy tolerance. Noodles are as cheap as $11 straight up with no tax charged. They're mainly a cash business but also accept Zelle. We usually get to go so they already prep it in a to go container. Heard they usually charge extra if you ask for a to go container separately? Overall this place is my definition of comfort food. You can call your order in ahead of time if you don't want to wait. It's also nice to grab some Milk Tea at the vendor next door to balance out the oil and spice from the soup.

What's so special about their noodles? Let me tell you, they are very special. Simple soup bowls with rice noodles that don't stick together, topped with good portions of protein choice primarily beef flank, braised pork, pork intestine, pork trotter (aka pig's feet), crispy pork, or chicken gizzard, plus roasted peanuts and your condiments of choice. I chose #3 Braised Pork Rice Noodle and #9 Crispy Pork Rice Noodles Signature to-go. OMG, I was super surprised by the soup savoriness and flavorfulness. SO GOOD! The noodles were a generous amount and you can slurp them very easily. Pork portion and size were more than adequate. VERY TASTY! The roasted peanuts were great tasting... it brought back some nostalgia... nice addition to the bowl! They have a condiment station (red hot chili, hot chili oil, spicy pickled daikon, spicy pickled cabbage, spicy green onions, green onions, cilantro) where you can get as much as you would like for your bowl. Do you see a trend? Lots of spicy condiments! Staff ladies were really friendly and nice. They didn't speak much English. I just pointed to the items I wanted. Prices were very reasonable... $11 - $15 per bowl. Payment options are cash or Zelle only. Funny, I didn't have enough cash on me so I left to go to the bank to get cash. They didn't start making my order until I returned. It wasn't an issue because it literally took them a few minutes to make the bowls. Wait time was nothing. Restaurant front was clean. Shared seating is available inside the President Square Food Court. Free parking at the President Square in Arcadia. Highly recommend Mojie Noodle! #1 Guilin Style Rice Noodles is their top seller. Too bad I don't eat beef anymore otherwise I would get it. I hope they add fish to their bowls in the future. I'll be back to dine-in for more tasty rice noodle bowls even if I stick with pork or I might even try their chicken gizzards.
