Really portions have been suffering in take out almost offensive considering how expensive their dishes are. For a noddle dish... you're looking at $20 out the door plus tax, little portioned and the cashier will flip the damn iPad and ask for more money from you. What a shame... stopped ordering the veggie soup so bland. And really wish they had an option for vegans where if no protein is chosen can substitute for more noodles or vegetables.... Missing ala-cart options, more veggies more soup more noodles. Anyways... this went from once a week spot to once a quarter of that spot. Really hate forking out so much cash to get little in return. read more

Got take out and had the spicy beef noodle soup (knife cut noodles), beef roll pancake, and lamb skewers. Very good, well packaged, and good mix of flavors. Looking forward to eating in person at some point. read more

Bone in rib rice noodle soup hit the spot!!! It came with two huge meaty tender ribs and the most flavorful clear broth! Radish and noodles were cooked to perfection! Didn't look like much but after the first bite I couldn't stop slurping it down! Beef roll was one of the best ones I've had! Exterior was crisp and interior was packed!! I'll definitely be back! YUM read more

It's hard to find a good noodle place around especially for a cold rainy day. I was glad that Noodle St moved into Culver/Irvine Blvd. strip mall. This place serves Halal meat hence there was no pork on the menu. There are lamb, beef, and chicken only. My favorite dishes to order are beef roll and its signature noodle. Occasionally, I would get their chow mein. My daughter's favorite dish is their scallion pancake. We used to get both beef roll and scallion pancake from Asian Tapas but since the business has gone away, it was hard to find a good beef roll and scallion pancake around. This place has been our go-to. To be fair, in the beginning the beef roll would always have too much cilantro than beef. The ratio was very off but lately it has been very consistent with its cilantro to beef ratio. So far, we haven't disliked anything we've ordered and it's been our monthly place to visit. read more

How I heard of this place: My sister first discovered Noodle St and hasn't stopped talking about it for months. It was among the top places she had to share with us on our recent visit. Type of cuisine: "As Chinese immigrants, we have our deeply rooted cultures in noodles for thousands of years. For us, it is a taste of home. With the help of friends, we opened our first restaurant in 2017. What started as a small wish of bringing the most authentic handmade noodles to immigrants just like us, became something grander. We are excited to find out that many American people also loved to dine with us. Over time, we realized that great food is borderless and we want to make the tastiest Asian style noodles accessible to everyone." "Hand-pulled noodles, or handmade noodles, are also known as 拉面 (la-mian). These wheat flour-based ingredients are an important component of Chinese food culture. They are noodles that are not made by machine, but by the strength of a human's upper body." "These noodles were first a necessity then made its way into being an art form, transforming the culture of food to what we know as today. Our chefs have mastered ways of creating several shapes and sizes of noodles, uniquely from round, flat, triangle and knife cut shapes. The difference in texture from soft, smooth or chewy attracts different ways to indulge." Ambiance: Clean, vibrant reds and whites, and sleek, the customer is easily won over and intrigued, yet gently welcomed to take a seat. What I ordered: Spicy Beef Noodle Soup ($15.50), my sister's favorite, includes chunks of beef shank, spinach, pickled veggies, cilantro and green onion in a deep broth. It was recommended that I try the Savory Braised Chicken Noodle ($14.80) prepared with boneless chicken, potatoes, green bell peppers, onions, served with knife cut noodles (this ended up being my son's favorite!). For our kids, they selected the Stir Fry Noodles ($15.80) with onions, spinach, bell peppers, and carrots. Among the table, we shared the Scallion Pancakes ($6.80) - crispy pan-fried flour pancakes with green onions. What I loved: The Spicy Beef Noodle Soup had the best broth, the Braised Chicken had the best flavor and ingredients, the Stir Fry Noodles filled us up and the pancakes were greasy goodness indulgence. Why I loved it: A great spot for delicious, hand-pulled noodles. The service could have been better, the server more well-informed (and acting like he cared), but the food easily made up for it! Cost: Average read more

High quality freshly made noodles. Really like getting their knife cut style noodles. Delicious and got a nice consistency somewhat mochi like. Lol. We ordered the chicken stir fry and beef noodle soup. The broth was delicious with a lot of scallions and parsley flavor. Service was great. East pay via Apple Pay or by phone. Only downside is the lack of clean bowls. I had to send a few soup bowls and plates back but the staff apologized and got new ones right away so that's good. read more

Noodle St is one of my favorite places for beef noodle soup. I love their thick noodles while my husband likes the thin noodles. The texture is absolutely perfect for both - cooked al dente, the perfect chewiness. The portions are pretty decent. Fast service. Perfect for a cold, rainy day. read more

Noodle St - Noodles Near Me - Irvine, California

Great food; like really delicious food. It's not often I come across places that I can say are delicious, but this place truly is. The staff are super nice and patient (we have kids). The place is clean and has a laid back, comfortable vide. We had a variety of things: beef noodles (standard and spicy) korean bbq style beef, calamari, beef fried rice, but for me, the best thing was the bread beef wrap - so good. I can have that everyday. One down side is; it's on the higher price spectrum. It's not expensive, but it's not a value meal (unless you split between two people, because the portions are large). All-in-all great experience, would definitely go again. read more

I've returned!! This time eating inside the restaurant. Huge improvement over takeout (as expected). New this time was the beef noodle soup. This was phenomenal. The noodles were amazing, and the broth was soul soothing. So satisfying and I was very happy with this bowl of noodles. Eating the beef rolls fresh was a totally new world. Same flavor profile, nothing surprising. However, the flaky, soft yet crispy, roll really benefits from immediate consumption. Still a ton of cilantro for my taste, but much happier with my experience this time around. A lot of what I touched on in my previous review still holds true. But I'm glad I came back around for another try! read more

Highly recommend to everyone! read more

I've tried this place several times, usually opting for the spicy beef noodle soup or the tomato egg noodles. In general, Noodle St is a great option for fast, casual Chinese noodles and the price isn't too bad. What I liked about the spicy beef noodle soup is that it came with pickled mustard greens, plenty of beef, and some chili oil (on the side) so that you can switch up the flavor profile depending on your needs. The only issue I've noticed with this place is that the spice level seems a bit inconsistent. My friend, who can tolerate much spicier meals than I can, told me she found the spicy beef noodle soup way too spicy, while I found it mild and piled on the chili oil to make it spicier. read more

Return visit: most definitely and weekly if I could! Recommend it to others: YES! Tasty and satisfying 4.8/5.0 in my book: Food quality: 5 Great fresh house-made hand pulled or knife cut noods. What's not to love! Taste: 5 Savory and super yummy soups, cucumber salad AND the panfried meat "pockets" or beef rolls (sorry forgot to take pics) are simply amazing! Service: 4 Always quick and efficient. Could be friendlier, but it's not like they're rude, so not a big deal. Value: 5 Not easy to find this kind of price range Irvine these days. X-Factor: 5 Just tastes "more authentic" than most noodle houses in the area, and consistently demonstrates someone cares about serving great affordable delish food. read more

came with girlfriends on a Friday night 6:30. the restaurant is not packed and got seated right away. our party of 4 ordered some of their famous dishes and the food came out pretty fast. so the services were good. cold noodle was very thick rice noodle. flavor was ok, nothing special. calamari is also average. scallion pancake was crispy but not too thin. the beef roll was wrapped using the same fried scallion pancake, which other places uses steamed/fresh wrapper skin/tortillas. lamb skewers were tender but also comparable with other places. the beef noodle soup is their famous dish, looks really good with nice color soup and the beef is tender enough, but once we tasted the soup we all agreed it's all soy sauce flavor no beef flavor at all. the place is bright and roomy, service was fast. which attracts many younger crowds. read more

Always my go to restaurant. There was something up with my order today, but the manager and staff handled it right away, fixed everything on the spot, and even offered me something to go. Things could happen, but their great service and kindness really stood out so I just wanted to come here and shout out to this business. Also, their egg tomato noods and beef noodle soup is amazing, def recommend. I'll still be back :) read more

I ordered their signature beef noodle bowl, because I figured you can't go wrong with their main dish right? Wrong. They serve you 4 TINY pieces of beef with a gang of noodles. Literally no other vegetables except 2 small pieces of radish. The whole time I was eating I thought to myself I could make a better bowl of soup at home. Save your money and eat elsewhere folks. I'm being generous with 2 stars, as we were immediately seated and the waiter (Latino guy) was very hospitable and pleasant to chat with. read more

I can't complain, the beef pancakes are mind blowing! Bite in while it's hot though ! The crispy crunch of dough with the juicy tender cuts of beef with parsley is paradise! Service is generally fast and ambiance is welcoming! read more

Sunday lunch, full restaurant but wait was just a few mins. Ordered the signature beef noodle, noodles with minced beef, and lamb skewers. The beef noodle was clean sumptuous broth and rice noodles, few slices of beef, and veggies. Very big bowl of soup and could be shared. The minced beef noodles was a dry noodle with garlic, veggies and ground beef. Mix it all together and it for a great bowl of noodles. The Lamb skewers were juicy and you get to pick you spice level. Went for the medium and it was on par with hot or above of hot chicken place. A little gamey but still a good appetizer. Overall good experience and recommend for. Something different than ramen. read more

Absolutely love the signature noodle dish they serve. It's definitely up there with ramen and pho tier level for me. This type of noodle, pho, and ramen are all S tier noodles. Their beef pancake rolls are also very well done. Service is quick and fast and food is served fast even when they are packed. read more

I wasn't expecting much, but everything at this place was exceptional! We had the spicy beef broth with noodles....so flavorful and perfect spice level! The beef rolls were crispy with tender beef with fresh veggies. Our kids enjoyed the chicken stir fry with noodles. Spicy chicken wontons were on point too. The smashed cucumbers were the perfect complement to it all. read more

Starting this off my saying that I've been waiting for so long to try this place and I'm really glad I did. I really enjoyed the spicy beef soup that they're known for. I really like the clean aesthetic of the place, I feel like they maximized the space and overall it's a very enjoyable space. The service when I went wasn't necessarily the greatest, I think our server was very young and not trained well. I I'll admit the shrimp that we had was very greasy and I didn't enjoy it at all. I think they nailed the spicy beef soup and i would definitely come back here just for that. read more

Very authentic. Genuine service. Love the wide handmade noodles and the shumai were on point. Quick and easy, simple decor with open kitchen. read more

Pretty solid. Tasted savory and delicious. Pretty interior. Service was standard. I'm still a fan of the Fullerton location. For some reason, the food over there is just seasoned with love and everything hits. Honestly, it's probably because they would give us the food piping hot and Im definitely a fan of piping hot soup over warm noodles. Still very delicious and I will continue to get the chicken savory braised over knife cut noodles. A bit of chewy fat parts on the chicken that were distracting. Still a great place to meet new friends and hang over fresh noodles. read more

I got both the traditional beef noodle soup as well as the spicy beef noodle soup and would definitely have to say the spicy one is better. It had quite a lot of flavor and was definitely on the spicier side but had better quality meat and better flavor overall. I'd say the traditional one is almost closer to a pho broth then traditional beef noodle soup. However, flavor was quite decent as well. I love the option of having both thin and thick noodles here and have to say both are quite good. read more

Noodle St - Friday at 4:45pm - lots of room - Noodles Near Me - Irvine, California

Love this spot! If you ask 10 people what their favorite spot for beef noodle soup is, you'll probably get 10 different answers, but this is always one of my go-to answers when someone asks me! I always order the spicy beef noodle (with the knife cut noodles) as well as an order of the beef roll pancakes. The serving sizes are quite generous, so if you're not too hungry, it's a perfect combo to split amongst two people. Surprised this spot isn't constantly packed, but that just means if you're ever in a mood for a delicious noodle soup, this spot is the perfect place to swing by. read more

Saturday evening dinner date with my hubby. I was craving beef noodle soup and found this spot on Yelp. We only waited 5 minutes before getting sat at a table near the front. First thing we noticed was the nice quality of their custom wooden chopsticks. Also, hubby casually mentions the Chinese characters in their name translates to "pulled noodle street." Today I learned! After ordering, we turned around to watch the open kitchen concept. It was exciting to see all the chefs working closely together, churning out bowl after bowl of noodle soup. Even more impressive was seeing the dance of the hand pulled noodles happening right there in the restaurant. Our dishes arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. Each bowl is topped with 5 generous pieces of braised beef, sprinkle of cilantro and chili oil if you ordered it with it. I had a blast picking up the noodles and placing them on my spoon to get the perfect noodle and soup bite. The crispy beef roll has a nice crunch at first bite. The amount of sauce and fresh chopped cilantro inside the roll was just right. Another cool concept is paying your bill at the table using a QR code. No need to get up and wait at the register or wait for the card to come back. Hubby and I left feeling full and satisfied. The noodle soup itself is very filling. We ended up taking home 1/2 the rolls for a midnight snack later. We will definitely be coming back when craving a beef noodle bowl again. read more

Noodle St - Seasonal Veggie Noodle Soup - Noodles Near Me - Irvine, California

My favorite beef noodle soup and beef rolls! You must order the spicy beef noodle soup with the knife cut noodles. The broth can heal my soul and the noodles are perfectly chewy. I like to add a bit of the chili oil and vinegar provided at the table and it's perfect. Beef rolls have the most crispy pancake skin and the beef slices, hoisin sauce, green onions, and cilantro fold together so perfectly and each bite is delicious. I will say I have noticed there's less beef in each bowl now. Last time I went there were only 4 cubes of beef in my bowl and the other 2 bowls in my party): whereas before I would have some beef to take home. Otherwise, service is good and the restaurant is easy to find and there's plenty of parking! read more

Absolutely Unacceptable. Never Again. If you value your time and taste buds, steer clear of Noodle Street. This place is a total dump, and my recent visit was a complete disaster from start to finish. The service was non-existent. We were seated quickly enough, but then completely ignored. Had to flag down three different people just to get menus, and another twenty minutes went by before anyone bothered taking our order. It felt like a total joke; zero professionalism from the staff, who seemed completely lost and disorganized. And the food? Disgusting. I ordered the signature beef noodle soup with knife-cut noodles, and it was a bland, oily mess. The "broth" was basically salty water with no depth of flavor, and the beef chunks were dry and mostly fat, not the tender meat you'd expect. My partner's dish was somehow even worse, utterly tasteless and drowning in a weird, gooey sauce that tasted like stale dishwater. Portions might be big, but it's all cheap filler, and the quality is a straight-up rip-off for the price. We couldn't even finish half of the slop they put in front of us. This was, without question, one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. Save your money and eat somewhere else. Anywhere else. read more

Hubby and I tried this place last week. I've been busy, but I can't stop thinking about the delicious soup I enjoyed, so here's the review (finally!). When a restaurant lists a Signature Dish, I usually try to order it. However, my eye caught on the Bone-In Rib Rice Noodle Soup. Both of us have ordered Asian bone-in beef rib soups in the recent past, so I thought I'd try this soup instead. I saw the descriptions of the Standard Round v. Knife Cut Noodles on the menu, and after a little discussion with the waiter, went with the Standard Round noodles for my order. The big bowl of soup came with 2 large, meaty rib bones, daikon radish slices, green onions and cilantro in a very flavorful beef broth. I was very happy with this lunch that had enough leftovers for 2 more meals! Hubby chose the Noodles with Minced Beef Sauce. It included a bowl of soup. I've since looked at the company's website, and I am impressed with their story, mission statement and clearly spelled out values. We'll have to come back to try that Signature Beef Noodle/Rice Noodle Soup. Also, I was tempted to order the Beef Roll Pancake and the Lamb Skewers. The menu is not extensive, but it has good listings. Chinese restaurants have a negative stereotype regarding indifferent or poor service, but we had good, attentive service from the staff. read more

I wanted to take my mom out for an early Mother's Day lunch since I won't be able to spend the actual day with her. We are regulars at this Irvine location because we prefer its ambiance over the one in Fullerton. However, I have been incredibly disappointed with the taste and quality of the food during our last few visits, but I continued to come, hoping it was just a bad day for the chef. Sadly, today will be my last visit to this location. I understand that service can be challenging these days, but you would hope management would at least try to deliver genuine hospitality. When we arrived, we were seated right away, but our server seemed stressed and distracted. We sat there without drinks while she literally ran around the restaurant attempting to clean tables, ignoring us as she did so. Eventually, she came by and asked if we knew what we wanted. I placed an order for an appetizer and asked for water. She quickly grabbed her sweater and left without a word. My mom and I sat there watching as more people were seated and had their appetizers brought out while we hadn't even had our order taken yet. I asked another server for help, and he promptly took our order but also disappeared, along with a group of friends who clearly worked there. We waited a long time for our food until I made a comment to my mom apologizing for the poor service we were receiving. Another employee overheard and approached our table to check on our food. He brought our order much later but didn't come back afterward. I asked for a refill and never received it. When the night crew came in, a server finally brought us extra napkins and water. Wanting to address the experience with management, I requested to speak with a manager. To my surprise, the manager who came to our table was the same one who had delivered our food and didn't return to check on us. He explained why we experienced such poor service, apologized--as he was clearly aware of the situation--and offered a free appetizer for our next visit. Unfortunately, it became clear that even the manager did not understand what genuine hospitality meant, let alone how to provide good service. They brought the bill and said nothing else, simply thanking us and apologizing for the experience. I'd I coukd rate negative I would. read more
