    What a gem of a restaurant! The lady at the counter was so helpful. The shop is small and cozy, especially on a cold day. The kimchi hot pot was great! Lots of flavor. The tomato beef was okay. It was very mild. I wish I lived closer.

    B4. Signature Beef Sirloin With Rice (Mild Spicy) E12. Mango Green Tea
    Ashley H.

    Easily one of my favorite Chinese places--we've been coming for three years now, ever since we've discovered the location. The signature beef sirloin and rice is braised in rich, beef infused oil. All the beef is extremely tender (in a good way). There is also some wood ear mushrooms that added some chewy texture, and does not taste too earthy/rubbery (what happens when not fully cooked). The dish is perfection. It was the first ever order from here, and remains my favorite. The rice was not too wet, and cooked throughly. A recurring issue with many Asian places is that when the rice is bulk cooked, it comes out uneven or too wet. Fortunately, this has never happened here. One thing to note is that the spiciness is downgraded by 1-2 levels. Mild spicy = no spicy. All the tables are well-spaced and extremely clean, despite the smaller, cozy setting. They were quick to deliver after ordering, and all the servers were extremely friendly and helpful! My brother forgot his jacket here and they chased us out, only to do so again when my friend's bag was also left. 3 entreès, one drink, and tip came out to be ~60$ with decent portions. We will definitely revisit in the coming years!!!

    Stopped by Mr. Rice in Westwood today, 9/26/25 and had a great experience. The soup was delicious with really nice flavor, comforting and satisfying without being too heavy. What stood out just as much was the atmosphere; everyone was so friendly and welcoming, which made the meal even more enjoyable. It's the kind of place where you feel comfortable right away. I ordered the beef hotpot and opted out for noodles instead of rice. My friend ordered the kimchi soup and she really enjoyed her meal as well. They have plenty of tables inside for dine in. Ordering was a breeze on the tablet right at the front. What we really appreciated was the price point and generous portions. Definitely planning to come back and try more of the menu!

    For parking, park in the Broxton Avenue public parking for free for 2 hours. Boyfriend took me to this place and ordered us the double chili fatty beef mixian. Pleasantly surprised by how good it was. It had somewhat of a szechuan taste due to the chili but not too overpowering, and the noodles and beef paired well with the broth. Free self-served kimchi and radish. Would go back again when I have the chance!

    I really enjoyed the rice noodles--they're slippery with a nice bite, though they don't soak up much of the soup, so you'll need a spoon to get the full flavor with each bite. The broth itself is flavorful and well-balanced, with tomatoes adding a nice brightness to it. There's a good amount of ingredients to round out the dish. I especially liked the light-colored sauce they offer, which I believe is Szechuan pepper oil. It pairs perfectly with the hot soup, especially if you're into that tingly sensation. The service was fast, and the place has a cozy vibe.

    I'm always in this area because I'm part of a dance team at UCLA but got tired of the typical places like chipotle, cava, and gogobop so I came in here with a few friends one day when we had a bit more time to sit down and eat. It's a pretty simple place, you go in and place your order on the kiosk, find a table, and then they bring your food out to you. There's lots of seating as it seems people like to usually do takeout here, and the food came out pretty quick. Everything is self-serve in terms of utensils and water. They have a pretty limited menu but everything is perfected and tastes really good. I tried the kimchi beef noodle soup and my friends got the tomato beef, all of them really rich and flavorful, plenty of protein and veggies, and the beef was really tender.

    Tasty Yunnan noodles in Westwood! Yunnan noodles are kinda hard to come by in the US so this is a nice spot to have in LA. You first order through a kiosk and then sit down at the table. Water, utensils, and side dishes are self serve. They offer some condiments like chili oil, vinegar, soy sauce on each table. Service is very basic as they only bring you your bowl. Ambience could probably do with some background music. Now the food is really good. Noodles are very authentic and the broth is really great. I got the Double Chili Beef Noodles but I didn't really think it was that spicy. Prices are relatively cheap for Westwood but I've seen cheaper for Yunnan Noodles elsewhere. Very solid spot for food!

    Yummy and authentic yunnan noodle soups! I love their tomato and beef one the most. I scooter off campus whenever I crave this spot and it's just so conveniently located at Broxton. Also the workers are super nice and treat you with such great care. I've ordered this both delivery and dine in and it's just SOO GOOD!!

We had two orders of slippery shrimp, kung pao chicken, eggplants with hot and spicy garlic sauce, juicy steamed dumplings, and pork fried rice. Overall, both restaurants in Chinatown and Pasadena provide great food quality. The ambience was cozy with dim lighting. Our round table had a wooden rotating tray. They have pictures of celebrities and politicians who've visited their restaurant. Service was relatively quick, but there was a 20-minute wait for the dumplings. Valet parking can get difficult when the lot gets full. A few cars entering the narrow driveway had to reverse out of the way to let others leave. The kung pao chicken was very tasty with a good amount of spice. I noticed that the slippery shrimp didn't taste as spicy as the portion from Pasadena. Reviews say that the spice is adjustable. Regardless. it tasted great as it came right off the pan. The pork fried rice was delicious with a savory flavor that didn't seem overpowering. I thought the juicy steamed dumplings were the weakest dish out of our whole order. There wasn't enough flavor and heat from the broth. I didn't try much of the eggplants, but they tasted adequate for me.

The restaurant workers looked more organized vs this location that has more of a traditional Chinese vibe, slightly tired building, not particularly clean, service feels a bit rushed and sloppy.
