    Sticky Rice with Mango
    Kirsten C.

    Guys, this place is incredibly good! I'm so disappointed that I only discovered it now. They serve really good portions, which is sooo clutch for college students like me. I've already had dinner for tonight and lunch for tomorrow! I have tried their pad see ew, Chicken satay, chinese sausage fried rice-- It came fast too! I absolutely love their sticky rice--10/10 recommend!

    Pad Thai with chicken
    Joyce E.

    Tasty food, generous portions, good prices & good service! Went with my friend for dinner. We were greeted, seated & given menus quickly even though they were busy. We ordered fried rice with chinese sausage and chicken pad thai. These are shareable portions. Notes: It's walking distance from UCLA. Casual atmosphere and family friendly.

    31. Pad See Ew chicken
    Donna A.

    Mr. Noodle never disappoints! The food here is always delicious, but yesterday (10/16/25) was truly one of the best meals I've had. My favorite dish is the Chicken Pad See Ew and it was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and had that perfect balance of sweetness and savoriness. The noodles were just the right texture, and the chicken was tender and tasty. Their presentation is also impressive, everything comes out looking fresh and appetizing, which makes the whole experience even better. You can tell they put care and pride into every plate. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I'm craving Thai food! My friend ordered the spicy eggplant with chicken and she also loved it! They are located in Westwood so it's very convenient for UCLA staff and students. Service is friendly and everyone is attentive. The restaurant is cool and relaxing. Definitely a must visit if you're in the area.

    Pad Thai
    Karissa L.

    Stopped by for lunch on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy at all. We ordered the khao soi, pad Thai, and chicken satay. Food was pretty standard but tasty. I really enjoyed the khao soi which is one of my favorite Thai dishes but not that many places offer it on their menu. The pad thai was a bit different than what I'm used to since they used skinny noodles. It looked really wet when it first came out but it was surprisingly pretty good. I ordered the chicken satay for my son and he enjoyed it. The prices here were reasonable considering it's in Westwood. We sat outside but didn't realize there would be so many people standing around waiting for Diddy Riese next door. The reason for the 3 stars is that I was extremely thirsty later on that day and this was the only meal I had all day.

    On-call life had me hungry, and someone pointed me to this spot near my hotel. Parking's a little chaotic around UCLA (no surprise there), but once you get inside, you forget about it real quick. The crew here is super friendly--felt like I was a regular the second I walked in. I went for the fresh shrimp wrap and the spicy eggplant with rice. Both hit the spot--fresh, flavorful, and portions that don't leave you hungry. Big fan already. Next time, I'm definitely diving into their noodle dishes.

    57. Orange Chicken
    Christina D.

    the best spot in the area, absolutely delicious! i usually get the thai bbq pork ribs (which are fantastic) but decided to switch it up & go with orange chicken this time. super flavorful & great portion size. the staff is always so friendly, nicole is incredibly kind & has such a welcoming, bubbly personality. i go out of my way to come here whenever i know i will be by ucla. thank you mr. noodle!

    So good! We went on a Saturday night and the weight was actually less than 20 minutes! The food was really good and they even give you bibs in case you splatter some soup/sauce on your shirt. I love the lighting in here and it's very cool to see them making the noodles behind the glass.

    12. Beef Salad
    Cece L.

    Came here for lunch because it's walking distance from work. The service is quick and because they get busy and it can get loud inside during the lunch hour, you have to be more persistent to get their attention. Food is tasty. Highly recommend the beef salad. It kept me full and satisfied all day!

    We came to visit our daughter at UCLA and was pleasantly impressed by Mr. Noodle. I guess we didn't expect an authentic Thai meal given the restaurant name. We were happy the staff welcomed us in Thai once they learned we were Thai too and gave us their recommendations from their extensive menu. We really enjoyed the boat noodle soup, penang and pad see ew. Good size portions. The service was quick and attentive and friendly. The place was pretty large and could seat large parties. Bright and airy ambiance. We look forward to visiting again when we're in town!

    I've been here a couple of times and I loved it! I brought my mom and we think we just found a new spot. The service was great, they were very attentive to detail and we got a warm welcome. Food rating: Seven Sea Soup 4/5 31. Pad See Ew 5/5 62. String Beans Garlic 4.5/5 66. Garlic Baby Pork Spareribs (Short) 5/5 The restraunt feels open and welcoming. The restroom could use a little more care, but overall a great experience. Will be coming again!

    Great spot that has a variety of Thai dishes for a casual dining experience! Food comes out quickly and very fresh! We loved every dish we tried and it was shared well amongst 3 people. Seated fairly fast for a Friday night around 6pm. It has the feeling of being run by a family, everyone is friendly and you never feel rushed. Parking is street only with paid meters or lots nearby. Always a great time at Mr Noodle!

    Veggie Singapore Noodles with tofu. Ask spicy!
    Ko M.

    Came here after a long training run. My first time here, and this place delivered what I needed! Deliciously spicy veggie & tofu & noodles (I always ask to make sure - "spicy". Iced Coffee. Everyone else was happy too. The soup was rated highly - perfect appetizer after a serious workout. PARKING street parking available everywhere on a Sunday. Free meters. SERVICE The place was pretty full, but there was one 3-top for us. Our server was super helpful and came back to check on us a couple of times. They brought out little fried noodles which I demolished in seconds . They brought more. FOOD Many things can be vegetarian made. It's a mixed kitchen, and I'm not sure about vegan seriousness, but it's a small kitchen with attention to details. Everything came out hot and close together - even though we all had special requests tied to our orders. Portion was big. It's probably enough for two meals (if I didn't have the long run). Even still, I couldn't finish. Ice coffee drinks came first. They are big, but "specialty" and creamy more than coffee flavor. BATHROOMS Clean The restaurant's office is up a very tight, small spiral stairwell. It's crazy to watch staff scaling it to get supplies.

    Thai Thai Iced Tea
    Angel L.

    I love this place. Food is really good , I've tried the spicy chicken coconut soup, very creamy and spicy as the name says it lol, staff is very friendly and efficient, it can get crowded sometimes but I truly recommend it .

    The egg rolls were actually very good sometimes they're not but here actually very good

    Freshly made udon. Nothing goes better than this…read more My second time here. And this time we tried the duck udon and sea urchins udon. Both are excellent. The sea urchins one is creamy and VERY RICH. The cream sauce bend in really well with the sea urchins. But definitely not something you would order if you are on a weaker stomach. The duck udon is flavorful with plenty of meat. The soup pair perfectly with the udon as well. There was a line outside before it opened. But not too bad. They got a little eating area outside right next to the street and I saw people ate there with their dog as well. I guess that they are "kinda" dog friendly?

    7/19/2026 3 1/2…read moreStars Not my first time here, but my first review on Yelp. Been awhile since I was last here. UDON KAKE It was good, but the broth was a bit salty at first. Udon noodles were good, but it was not excellent. It did have light chewy texture. BUT in comparison to Meiji Seimen, it fell short, really short! I was disappointed. BEEF BOWL It was delicious! Beef was tender and moist and loved the caramelized onion too. Rice was delicious too, not dry nor mushy. Served with pickled red ginger. A very satisfying bowl. Sat at the bar, so watched them make udon from scratch, which was nice. WAIT LIST There was a line when I got there, just as it opened. It wasn't long, but everyone wrote their name down on a wait list. There's a sheet of paper placed on the table outside. Please write your name down ASAP, as that will help in making sure that you will grab a seat. Also, the lines are disorganized too, so it's best to write down your name, so no one cuts in front of you. It is a small restaurant. Limited seats. CUSTOMER SERVICE It was okay. Everyone got in the restaurant in the order they came in. Service was quick and there were no delays in taking orders. The server came by quickly and dropped off the check as she saw that I was nearly finished with my meal. PARKING Parked at Joe's Autoparks. It was $15! I did not know until after I paid the ticket. Very difficult to find parking in this area, so not many options unless you want to walk really far, back to your car in 90 degree heat. There was another parking garage next to Joe's, but the price was the same! Would I come back again? Not sure. Given that the udon wasn't what I expected, it may be my last time here. Also, parking sucks.

    I had always heard about this place from my food research and it was further reinforced by a friend…read morewho recommended this to us. We came as a group of 9 and thankfully, they allow for reservations if you are a group of 8 or bigger. Take note! Especially in this LA peak heat. We checked in with the valet and they gave us menus as we waited about 15/20 minutes for the table to be ready. You will need to order before you are seated and you cannot order anymore food once you are seated, given how popular they are, this makes plenty sense. We were seated inside with cooling AC and the restaurant is quite large inside! It could certainly have several parties in there. Soon, our galbi kalguksu, XL chicken kalguksu, tteokbeokki and XL pork jowl and pork belly bossam showed up. Everything was extra delicious and fresh. The soups in both the galbi and chicken kalguksus were amazing and the hand pulled noodles were divine. We drank and ate everything up quickly. The tteokbeokki was delicious, but too spicy so the rest of the party was able to enjoy it. The bossam was all so tender and had just enough napa and garlic to go with it along with the many unique sauces we could dip all the meats in. Everyone left feeling happy and it satisfied everyone's palates.

It was one of my favorite spots for kalguksu, so I was excited to come back. We visited on a Saturday around 2:00 PM. The first thing that stood out was the wait. There was a line outside despite there being numerous vacant tables inside the restaurant. I'm not sure why customers were expected to wait outside, especially during the current LA heat wave, when seating appeared to be available. While waiting, we were given menus. The first thing I noticed was the price increase. The clam kalguksu is now $22.99, which felt quite expensive, even accounting for inflation. Once seated, we were served the rice with doenjang paste and the three varieties of kimchi. Unfortunately, I found almost all of the kimchi to be noticeably saltier than I remembered, with the exception of the radish kimchi, which was enjoyable. I honestly don't remember the kimchi tasting this salty in the past. It even made us wonder whether it was intended to discourage customers from requesting refills, though I hope that wasn't the case. We ordered the new beef rib kalguksu and the clam (bajirak) kalguksu. The beef rib broth was overwhelmingly salty for our taste, to the point that I mentioned it to our server. The hand-cut noodles themselves were still excellent, but I also noticed that the clam kalguksu contained significantly fewer clams than I remember from previous visits--roughly half the portion I used to receive years ago. The noodles remain well made, but it's difficult to justify the current price when the portions seem smaller and the broths are considerably saltier than before. What originally made this restaurant special to me was its fresh, clean-tasting broth, flavorful kimchi, and generous amount of clams. Unfortunately, my recent visit didn't live up to those memories. With so many excellent kalguksu restaurants in the area, I don't see myself returning. I understand that restaurants evolve and may adjust recipes to appeal to a broader customer base, especially since most of the diners during my visit appeared to be non-Korean. However, I genuinely miss the balanced flavors, generous portions, and value that made this restaurant stand out years ago.

The yuzu gives it a refreshing/bright taste that really cuts through the fatty broth and pork. Yuzu Limeade ($7) and although I liked the drink because it had a strong yuzu and lime taste, I wouldn't recommend getting it with a yuzu flavored ramen because it takes away the yuzu flavor in the ramen.

The rolls? They're not just rolls--they're little edible origami, perfectly crafted and packed with flavor. Honestly, I'd frame one if it wouldn't get stale. The dining room itself is a stunner--clearly designed by someone with impeccable taste and possibly a Pinterest board. Only hitch? It's a touch warm in there. Not "tropical getaway" warm, more "grandma's house at Thanksgiving with the oven on" warm. Bring a handheld fan, or just lean into the sweat--it adds to the meaty ambiance. And the service? Let's call it... politely present. Not bad, not breathtaking--just the culinary equivalent of a firm handshake. Does the job, leaves no scars, but also no sonnets. All in all?

    This is a review only of their happy hour specifically, not of their ramen, which I have not tried…read moreand can't speak to the quality of. I actually became aware of the existence of this restaurant *because* they had a happy hour sign out in front, advertising, among other things, $4 salmon poke "tacos" (which was definitely actually a tostada, but still), and $3 nigori sake to go with it, which sounded pretty bomb - when I passed by the sign on my way to an event at Death & Co nearby, I took note of it but wasn't interested in food. However, when I left that event, an event I thought was going to provide a lot more food than it actually did, I absolutely *was* interested in food, and remembered that the sign advertised not only a traditional happy hour (open until 6 weekdays, 2:30-5:30 Saturday/Sunday), but also the same prices during a reverse happy hour (8 to close weekdays, 9 to close on the weekend). Given it was, at that moment, just after 8 on a Wednesday, I knew exactly where I was going to get the second half of my dinner from. Funny enough, I will say, the salmon poke that drew me in, was just... good. Don't get me wrong, if I were offered them for free, I'd eat at *least* a dozen. They were quite tasty - also like 2 bites worth of food (so eating a dozen of them would not be remotely difficult to do.) Salmon poke is wonderful, but if I wanted poke, I'd go find a poke place - even $4 felt a bit pricey for the size (they're $6 when it isn't happy hour), so I'm glad I decided to also try their karaage. Their karaage is BOMB - some of the best I've had, honestly. $7 for a 4-piece order of their karaage, by contrast, feels like a very reasonable price, and $5 (during happy hour) an absolute steal. Great karaage, great sauce, super fulfilling. The happy hour on karaage would be enough of a draw by itself - but separate from that, so would the $3 happy hour on sake, including both a regular house cold sake and a nigori. As you can see from the picture, they also intentionally overpour their sake, which is not only a very pretty presentation, but also an impressive amount of sake for $3 (heck, for DTLA, a pretty impressive amount of sake even at their normal $5 price). They also have $6 happy hour shochu/sake/juice cocktails that looked pretty good, though I didn't try one. Service was great, too - sometimes you can tell a restaurant is less excited to serve someone who clearly just came in for a drink and a snack, but that was not my experience here. Verdict is, I definitely want to come back and try their ramen sometime, but I would definitely make sure to do it either before or after their prime dinner hour, to take advantage of happy hour pricing. (And I would definitely get more of that karaage as a side. I will probably also make a point to do so as a snack, subsequent to any future events I go to in the area that end around 8 on a weekday, as well, for as long as that happy hour remains such a draw, price-wise.)

    Food (3/5): Pretty ok ramen! You come to Tsujita Artisan Noodle in Arts District for the Tsukemen…read more Their tsukemen is creamy with deep umami flavor. Their noodles have a bounciness and chewiness that hold the broth you dip your noodles in. I do wish the broth was hotter because the noodles are traditionally served cold. I've come here for their Naruto collaboration and to try their traditional ramen where their noodles come with the broth and it tastes significantly different than their tsukemen which I didn't have a liking to. It was missing some oomph that not only differentiates this ramen from others I've tasted before but also gets people to keep coming. Service (5/5): Quick service! Every time I've been there hasn't been a wait. Price (4/5): To compensate for taste I do think the price needs to be lowered a bit. The tsukemen to me was definitely worth it. Ambiance (4/5): Cute little modern shop. It won't fit many big parties but it is perfect for duos.

    Daikokuya is a long time staple of Little Tokyo, whenever I'm in town on business or vacation I…read moremake a point to visit. Their ramen noodles are always cooked perfectly (I like them a little firm) and their broths are super flavorful, their eggs cooked perfectly. I usually enjoy their spicy or black garlic broths which add extra kicks. Daikokuya can be busy throughout the day, but there servers and kitchen staff work hard to turn around orders and tables relatively quickly. Anytime is a good time for ramen from Daikokuya.

    Lucked out with not a huge wait and got to come here with a group of friends. Daikokuya is located…read moreon the perimeter of the Little Tokyo plaza and on a busy strip against other very popular ramen places. To be clear, you really can't go wrong with any of the restaurants on this street and I recommend just going with whichever one has the shortest wait when you show up. Thankfully we only had to wait about 20 minutes and got a table inside. There were 6 of us and they made us squeeze into a booth built for 4 which was a little annoying but we made it work. I ordered their signature Daikoku Ramen which was very flavorful and filling, just wish there had been more meat! My husband got the poke bowl with salmon and tuna which is a great dish for those on the protein grind. Service was mixed, they brought some dishes out immediately and then others in our group had to wait longer to get their food. Overall food was tasty and I would go back.
