Service here is above and beyond!!! Everyone was really nice, no lag, they inspect the food and make sure they get it right, didn't rush us on eating while kept checking if anything we needed. Really lovely staff!! Had the beef noodle and no complaints there either - friend got Korean BBQ and had enough to take home. read more

We got the Spicy Beef Noodle/Rice Noodle Soup ($16), minced noodle beef sauce ($15), spicy wonton ($9) Spicy beef noodle we got with knife cut noodles, meat was tender, noodles were thick, broth was spicy for me but I enjoyed (7.5/10) Minced noodle beef noodle we also got with the knife cut noodles, we liked the texture of the noodles but there wasn't enough meat and it felt like it was missing more flavors. Wouldn't get again (5/10) Spicy wontons or dumplings were pretty good (7/10) read more

Noodle St - Spicy Beef Noodle/Rice Noodle Soup - Noodles Near Me - Irvine, California

Four and a half stars seems about right to me. Noodle St is a chain of Asian fusion places that specializes in Chinese style hand pulled noodle dishes, but it has a variety of other things, too. I've tried Noodle St's Signature Beef Noodle/ Rice Soup the menu describes as follows "Sliced beef, radishes, cilantro and leeks." I found it to be bit bland, but you can jazz it up with the condiments on each table. In light of the above, I next tried the Spicy Beef Noodle/Rice Soup the menu describes as follows "Chunks of beef shank, kale, pickled veggie, cilantro and green onions." It didn't need any condiments. Both times I washed mine down with the Passion Fruit Green Iced Tea, which is excellent. Pro tip: Get it. There are lots of other things on the menu I intend to try. The service is friendly and quite excellent. Ambience wise, it a clean modern space that is nice but not fussy. read more

One of my fav Chinese restaurants in Orange County!! Been coming here for years. This place isn't too busy and I believe it's under-rated Must try: - Qinghai Clear Cold noodle (they run out by dinner sometimes) - Beef Noodle Soup with knife cut noodles - Beef Roll pancake We've came here over 10 times and these are our favorite things to order on repeat! read more

Noodle St is a spot serving up some authentic and delicious Chinese dishes. This spot is located in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. Inside, they have a nice modern interior with a solid amount of seating. Wifey and I stopped by for dinner around 7pm and were seated right away. For their menu, they have a good selection to choose from. Wifey and I opted to get the Beef Roll, Savory Braised Chicken Noodles, and the Signature Beef Noodle Soup. Overall, everything that we had was delicious and filling with a generous portion size. All of the staff here are very welcoming and accommodating. We will definitely be back for another satisfying meal next time we are nearby the area! read more

High quality noodles, would recommend everything we ordered! No wait time for dinner and the food was served quickly. You can watch the chefs slicing the noodles fresh at the open kitchen. We ordered: - Signature beef noodle soup: Choice of spicy or non-spicy, we got non-spicy. Love the noodle texture a lot. Mild soup but not bland! - Lamb skewers: way better than some other spots like Northern cafe. A bit pricey so maybe I'll pass on this next time. Good to try though! - Beef rolls: lots of flavor, loved this a lot. Really like how the vegetables are cold inside, felt very fresh. - Minced beef noodles: my personal favorite!! Sauce is more complex than it looks. I was scraping down every last spoonful of it lol. Will be back! read more

Hands down the best place for hand-pulled noodles--and they're even open on Christmas! Every dish was exceptionally flavorful. The hand-pulled noodles were perfectly chewy with a generous portion that's great for sharing. Don't skip the cucumber- it adds the perfect refreshing crunch on the side. And their chili oil? An absolute must to drizzle on top for that extra kick. Service was fast, and you can really appreciate that everything is made fresh right in the open kitchen. It's a great spot whether you're planning a date night, family dinner, or even dining solo. Next time, I'm excited to try the no-spice clear broth, the broth itself is so rich and flavorful, and it's mild enough to be kid-friendly too. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to! read more

Noodle St always slaps and it's not ever crazy busy! I first went to Noodle St when I was at CSUF and I saw that they opened up a branch here and got so excited! Happy to report that it tastes just as good! Everything that I've tried here has always been clean, fresh and perfectly seasoned. Not to mention, the floor, bowls, silverware, etc is very clean which I don't always expect for an Asian place hahaha. My favorites are: -Cucumber Salad -Beef Roll -Signature Beef Soup If you haven't definitely try the knife cut, thicker noodles because they have a chewier texture in the best way possible! I don't like lam b myself but my friends who tried the lamb and like to eat lamb in general said that the lamb skewers were also very good (I tasted the spices dusted on top and it is very cumin heavy, which I personally don't like). read more

Food: not pictured were the lamb skewers. SO good. We inhaled them before I remembered to take a picture. I don't like lamb in general, but these were delicious. My next second favorite was the beef noodle soup. And last but still very good were the beef pancakes. They were good the next day too. Service: a bit slow but no other complaints. Ambience: a good amount of indoor seating, a bit bright, and not the most inviting interior. read more

Tried the signature with no spicy and oh wow that soup was super delicious! I wanted to drink it all but was so stuffed. I got the standard noodles and it was a very nice texture. I tried some of my husband's signature noodle soup with spicy and I honestly prefer the taste of the soup without the spiciness. The inside of the restaurant is very clean and bright. I liked how the you can see the workers working in the kitchen and how clean the kitchen is. I felt really comfortable eating here. Next time I want to try the rib bone noodle soup! Mmmm I'm still thinking about that yummy soup! read more

This place is one of those places that you go if you can't think of anything else and if it's close by. When I first tried this place I enjoyed it. But the more I tried it, I realized all the dishes are pretty similar. What surprised me was that this place's kimchi fried rice was actually better than an actual Korean restaurant. read more

If you haven't tried noodle St get in your car now and head over immediately! In all seriousness, I didn't know what to expect from this restaurant and I was blown away. I was doing a happy dance the entire time we were there. QINGHAI CLEAR COLD NOODLE- Chewy noodles served with a chili and vinegar sauce. They are topped with fresh garlic and scallions. I could have eaten many servings of this. BEEF ROLL PANCAKE- Beef, green onions, cilantro and hoisin sauce wrapped in a soft and buttery pancake. This is probably the best beef roll pancake I've ever had. SPICY BEEF NOODLE- Chunks of beef shank, kale, pickled veggie, cilantro and green onions. The meat was so tender and the spicy level was perfect. Can't wait to go back and try more menu items. read more

This is always my go to spot when I'm craving some great quality noodles! Their signature beef noodle looks simple, but packed with great flavor. What really tops it off is their housemate spicy oil which isn't too spicy at all. You can always adjust the spice level of the noodle and add on more as you go from the spice jar on the side of your table (they are the same spice oil). Their minced beef dry noodles has a nice saucy touch to it. It also comes with a side of soup so you can taste their signature broth! The beef roll has a nice crunchy texture. The meat inside also is nice and warm! A lot of places who sell this has cold meats or not enough meat inside, but this has a great amount of meat. The restaurant was also doing a menu sampler for orange chicken. It had a nice tangy taste with a good crisp. Would recommend for this menu addition! The ambiance is great as well. There is an open kitchen where you see the chefs, who all wear masks for sanitary reasons. The servers were all really friendly and attentive. Great restaurant to bring your friends and family. Highly recommend! read more

To be perfectly honest, the main reason why we ended up coming to Noodle St was because we'd already been to our go-to spot for beef noodle soup more than once during this trip. However, that's not to say I hadn't already had my eye on this place - after seeing them pop up multiple times on my IG feed, and reading through a bunch of their reviews on Yelp, I'd had this place sitting in my list of bookmarks just for an occasion like this! Compared to our aforementioned spot for beef noodle soup (A & J), I absolutely love how parking here is so much easier. Granted, it helps that this complex is also a lot larger, but it doesn't change how much more convenient (and I can stop into H-Mart, too!). Plus, it was great how we were able to get seated immediately and how modern and clean the decor is. As far as the menu goes, it's pretty straightforward and not all that extensive, but it's no less interesting. Along with their selection of noodle dishes (several of which sounded tasty), they also have a solid selection of a few rice plates, appetizers, and sides as well! -- BEEF ROLL PANCAKE - Beef, Green Onions, Cilantro, and Hoisin Sauce...$12.80 Ehh...I wasn't high on this one, but it's definitely a "me" issue - there was so much fresh cilantro in this! Some of the slices of beef felt a bit dry as well, but I actually thought the pancake was great! The outside was slightly crispy yet the inside had a nice chew to it. -- LAMB SKEWERS - Lamb, Chili Powder, and Cumin Powder...$9.50 This was my favorite dish of the night! Each of the skewers had a fair amount of meat, the chunks of lamb were juicy with a good bit of char, and the seasoning had the perfect balance of cumin and chili powder. -- SPICY BEEF NOODLE SOUP with Chunks of Beef Shank, Kale, Pickled Vegetables, Cilantro, and Green Onions...$16.50 Not bad, but not as awesome as I had hoped for either. The knife cut noodles were cooked well, the slices of beef were moist, and I liked the kale, despite how it initially felt like an odd addition. As for the broth, it wasn't bad, but I wish it had been a bit more luscious and beefy. While I waffled back and forth between giving three or four stars for the food, it ended up being an easy call after factoring in service. For the most part, the workers were fine - they greeted us when we walked in and were generally pretty friendly. That being said, throughout our meal, it felt like we were being rushed out. Someone would come to take away each plate almost immediately after we would finish the last bite and were quick to hand us our bill and clear our table. It would be (somewhat) understandable if the restaurant had been busy, but the place was barely half full the entire time we were here. Considering how so many folks seem to like this place, I can't help but wonder if we might have had better luck trying their signature noodle soup dish. At the very least, a more relaxed experience (and less cilantro, for me) would've helped. Given that, I wouldn't mind coming back to give a couple of their other dishes, but in the meantime, THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down for now feels about right. read more

I came here twice now! The first time was a gift I received from an unnie friend MK. She was celebrating the start of grad school for me, and covered for my meal. I ate so well MK. The second time was also a gift from my mom in celebration of getting through my first few weeks of medical school. This place is wonderful to grab spicy beef noodle soup. The signature dishes are Signature for a reason which is why I give a 10/10 for all of the dishes we ordered thus far: 1) Spring Cold Noodle with Round Noodles 2) Spicy Beef Noodle/Rice Noodle Soup 3) Beef Roll Pancake 4) Signature Beef Noodle/Rice Noodle Soup A bowl and a beef roll pancake is enough to split between two people! If you are going with a friend and you both wanted to try a little bit of both. Service was quick and personable. There were some servers who could have slowed down and checked in with us more regularly. The interior is beautifully arranged. You can see the noodles being made in the open! We loved the food, and have been blessed by them. God bless you all! read more

I came here with my dear friend on a Saturday evening for a quick dinner - the space was big with a lot of tables and were seated very quickly. We ordered the beef noodle soup and beef roll pancake to share and it was a LOT of food for two people - we were both only able to eat one roll each and took the rest home, so it was great value. The flavors were very good and I think the pancake stood out to me the most, so I would come back for this specifically. Thank you to the attentiveness of the servers as well! read more

This is my go to food for clean Halal noodles. My go to order is the chicken braised handmade noodles, which is absolutely delicious. There are green peppers, onions, and potatoes so it's a very hearty dish and perfect for a cold night. It has a little bit of heat, but it's not overwhelming and I'm a weak sauce lol I usually do takeout here, but there are plenty of tables to dine in. Staff is efficient and friendly, even when it is busy. Please bring back the mustard green side dish as I love putting that in my chicken noodles! I've also gotten the beef noodle soup, which is really good as well, but I prefer the braised chicken dish because the meat is so succulent and tender - so yummy! Parking is easy to find and it's located in a plaza with other restaurants and stores. Please support your local businesses! read more

The restaurant in Westwood has a small but excellent menu. I had the spicy (not so much) beef noodle soup + green onions pancakes (best I ever had).

It a very nice casual place to relax at lunch. read more

I crave this place often! Any of the soups with the beef roll- So good! Great recommendation from our server- to mix the mild and spicy broths. Also tried the mince beef noddle dish and wontons in chili oil and my son loved it. Servers are also very attentive by filling drinks, bringing a pair of scissors to cut the noodles for the kids and checking-in often. Looking forward to the next visit! read more

When I say I've been dreaming about this place since I first tried it a few weeks ago, I'm not exaggerating! I came here with a friend a few weeks ago for a quick lunch. It was so good that I had to come back. I was in the area and figured I'd stop by. It was just as good. I got their signature beef noodle soup. You get your choice of standard round or knife cut noodles, I got standard round. They have a spicy version that is also delicious if you like spice but I stuck with the regular since it was 90 degrees outside. The soup comes out piping hot and quick. You can get it with some chili paste in it and I highly recommend it. The broth is so delicious with layers of flavors. It's so refreshing that I could drink it without any noodles and still enjoy every bit. There are thin slices of beef, but I wish there was about twice the amount. The bowl it comes in is huge, I usually end up taking some home for an extra snack or meal later. I also got the cucumber salad which is perfect with the hot soup. The cucumbers are so fresh, crunchy, cold, and packed with flavor. Last time I got the wings and I loved them. They have a perfect crunch, really juicy, and a little curry flavor to them. The servers are on top of things, very friendly saying hi as you walk in. It's not a big space but it's usually not packed. The kitchen is completely open in view of the dining area, it's fun to watch them cook. I'll be back many times for sure! read more

I drive past this place almost every day, never thought to try it until something hit me and I just had the noodle craving, and it's definitely going to be visited more often this place is super sick! They hand cut their noodles and it retains such a great quality, the soup itself I got the regular beef, not a lot of kick to it so those who are sensitive to spice you're good, I'll go for the spicy next time. Inside is pretty simple, they've got a nice open space, nothing overly done in terms of aesthetic, they really want you to focus on the food. The orange chicken I also had, super crispy and definitely a good shareable. Our waiters came back pretty often to check in and fill waters, I enjoyed that they were really on top of it. Next time your cravings lead to noodles, soups, etc, this should be heavily considered! read more

Delicious knife cut noodles! You won't find a very extensive menu here. They specialize in knife, cut noodles from China, and they are nice, thick, and chewy. I always go for the tomato egg dish, costing $14, but it comes with a healthy portion and can be split into two meals. The restaurant is located inside a plaza, which has plenty of free parking slots. They can get busy during lunch hours so be prepared to join the Yelp waitlist if you go during that time. In general, the wait was 8 to 15 minutes long. read more

I was feeling under the weather and decided to treat myself with a DoorDash order so I wouldn't have to drive. After $35 with tip and fees, I expected a comforting, balanced meal. Instead, I got a huge bowl of noodles, lots of broth, and only three tiny cubes of meat. For the price, that's beyond disappointing. I'm not stingy with tips, I appreciate good food and service but this felt like poor value. Save your money and go somewhere that actually delivers. read more

One of my go-to spots for beef noodle soup! I've been many times and I somehow always gravitate towards the spicy beef noodle soup with the knife cut noodles! I feel like the broth has a cleaner and lighter feel versus a mom & pop noodle shop. (But don't get me wrong, I love those too!) The broth still has a very deep flavor to it (: I also really like the qinghai clear cold noodles. As for sides, i recommend the crispy tofu or the lamb skewers. Service is always pretty quick and I've never really had an issue. Make sure to try out the chili crisp they have on the tables read more

Came in right at rush hour and were nicely greeted and seated by Eric. Eric let us know about some of their popular options and grabbed our drink orders. Ordered Spicy beef noodle, Bone In beef soup, beef roll pancake, and cucumber salad. Everything was amazing. The hand cut noodles were thick and cooked perfectly, the traditional noodles were also cooked perfectly. The cucumber salad was generous and had plenty of garlic & sauce. Spicy beef noodle soup is not too spicy but rather a perfect blend of flavor. Portions are substantial! You could very easily share a soup with someone - although you may not want to considering how tasty the options are. Staff was attentive and cleared plates as needed. Considering it was rush hour, the wait for food was not as expected - having gotten most items within 10 minutes. Their open concept kitchen was a nice touch, as you could see the attention to detail of the dishes served. read more

Service was not the best. Our server, Wyatt, seemed to have a bit of attitude and was not the most welcoming. For the dishes, I was not impressed. Even though the knife cut noodles should be chewy they seemed overcooked and too soft/mushy. The broth was bland as well, with the meat tasting unseasoned. Overall, I was very disappointed with the quality of the food. Also, me and my friend ordered the signature beef noodles and while his came out nicely, the presentation on mine was not the best. I would not come back here with the only dish we enjoyed being the lamb skewers. read more

*HALAL FRIENDLY* Yum yum yum!!! Round 2? 3? and I looooved. We, of course, ordered the Spicy Beef Noodle/Rice Soup which was so filling for our group of three! 5/5 as always and will be ordering this every time I come here! Alongside this, we ordered the Beef Roll Pancake. Each pancake piece was pretty big! It was pretty decent and more on the light side for sure -- I'm such a cilantro girlie so trust me when I say this hit the spot for that! It is not particularly flavorful, but if you dip it into the soup of the Spicy Beef Noodle/Rich Soup...yum! 4/5 in its own, but 5/5 dipped into the soup! The service was great as always and I do have to again make note that the portions for these dishes are SO good. The prices are 100% worth it and I'm already craving my next visit! read more

Food was good and came really quickly. Service was good, although they asked us quite a few times if we were ready to order when we clearly were waiting for the rest of our party to arrive. Good amount of seating. Clean restaurant as well. We ordered the signature beef noodle and savory braised chicken noodle. Both were very good and well priced. We also ordered the lamb skewers which were good but I think I'd pass next time since I don't think it was that worth it. read more

This place is pretty good. We started with the fried calamari, which was a good portion and was fried pretty well, though I wish this was served before the noodles instead of at the same time. I also got the spicy beef and tendon noodle soup with knife cut noodles. The noodles were great and very chewy, but my issue with this was that the soup was just a little flat and missing a depth of flavor. Also, they really have to give more meat. I literally had less than 5 chunks of meat in my bowl. However, it was still a solid bowl of beef noodles. I have nothing to complain about the service and the ambiance. I think all in all, this place is not bad. read more
