After a long day of walking around, we decided to warm up at Noodle St. Being able to check-in with Yelp was super helpful and gave us a good idea on wait time. Once we were seated, we were met with a friendly server who offered recommendations to our party depending on spice levels. I tried their beef fried rice and the portions were huge for the price! I had to get a braised egg and it made for such a great combo. I also tried their chili oil and loved how spicy it was. I wish there was a Noodle St. close to my city! read more

Solid place that I would absolutely go to again and try something new. The place is bright, open, clean, and a decent size inside. Service is fairly quick (have to be to keep up with the amount of people coming in and out) and friendly enough. The food (outside of mine) was very tasty and had a decent selection size. Great flavor and very fresh. Mine (seasonal veggie) was very underwhelming. The taste, compared to everything else, was mid. It needed salt or some other seasonings. I ended up adding chili to it, which helped, but not much, which made me think salt was the missing factor. Not sure how that happened because the other soup, and my friends braised chicken noodles, tasted absolutely perfect. If anything, the other dishes were super bold with their flavors. I love that you can pick different handmade noodles. They were so good. A little chewy and cooked well. read more

My friends and I decided to try this place out after reading the wonderful reviews & seeing the pictures of their dishes. I was also craving soup so this was the perfect option! We ordered their chicken wings, garlic string beans, spicy beef noodle soup, scallion pancakes, & beef scallion roll. The food came out within 10 minutes of ordering, which I appreciated since I was starving. The soup was packed with so much flavor & had a generous amount of knife cut noodles. The beef rolls had a nice light flavor to it & wasn't dry at all. The garlic string beans were PACKED with garlic, which was delicious. The chicken wings were a bit dry but nonetheless still pretty good. My friends really liked their scallion pancakes & devoured them all. Overall, I would definitely come back if I was ever in the area again. It definitely satisfied my cravings for Chinese food. read more

Great quick service. It was a chilly day so we wanted something soupy. You get options from appetizers, noodle soup, and rice dishes. There's an option to choose what type of noodle you want: round, flat, triangle, or knife cut. No matter the type, the noodles were very fresh, you can even see them making it through the large clear room in the back. I ordered the signature beef noodle with triangle noodles. The soup needed a tad bit more seasoning but it was good, especially the noodles. Temperature was perfect. Great quick place to drop by if you're shopping in Pasadena. I would probably come back and try the other items in the menu. read more

Noodle St - Triangle Noodles with the Signature Beef Noodle Soup - Noodles Near Me - Pasadena, California

We ordered the chicken noodle soup. It was ok. The triangle noodles were a little hard, soup was a little salty but it was fun to watch chefs make the noodles live in the window. The ambience and service were excellent. Very clean and pretty restaurant. Think I have to try a different kind of noodle. read more

Highly recommend this spot. Best noodles I've had in LA and really just as comparable to top spots in Taiwan. Solid portions for the price and everything on the menu hits.

Noodle St - Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (3P) (mild spicy) - Noodles Near Me - Pasadena, California

Noodle St Meeting up with friends in LA and this was such a great spot in Pasadena. It's a cool experience because you can actually see the chef making the noodles right in the window while you're there. I went with the signature beef noodle soup (15.50) and chose the knife cut noodles. The bowl came with sliced beef, radishes, cilantro, and leeks. They were very generous with the amount of noodles they served, though I honestly wish there was a bit more meat included to balance it out. Everything tasted fresh and it was the perfect place to catch up with the group. Fresh handmade noodles and great group spot read more

Noodle St - Signature Beef Noodle Soup (3P) - Noodles Near Me - Pasadena, California

I ordered online from noodle st as I was craving it. Togo/deliveries orders are great since they placed them nicely in packaging and also separate the soup and noodles. But one thing was they have so less beef which they usually give more in person when dining in. Other than the portion of meat the noodles and soup were great. read more

Noodle Street in Pasadena is hands down one of the best spots I've been to in a while! I ordered the black tea at 50% sweetness (perfect balance ) and the beef noodles -- honestly, the best I've ever had. Everything tasted super fresh, and you can literally see them making it fresh right in front of you. That alone lets you know it's legit. I also got the beef roll and it did NOT disappoint. Packed with flavor and made just right. On top of that, it's in such a beautiful part of the city. Pasadena is always a great place to walk around before or after you eat. Definitely a perfect first date spot lol. Great food, great vibe, great location. I'll for sure be back! read more

There was that familiar Friday night hum in Old Town, the kind where you can feel the weekend settling in before you even sit down. We stopped into Noodle Street for dinner, craving something warm and steady to close out the week. We ordered two bowls of the spicy beef noodle, one savory braised chicken noodle, and a plate of green beans to share. The noodles are what keep us coming back, clearly fresh made with that springy chew that holds up even after sitting in broth for a while. The spicy beef had a deep, slow building heat rather than an aggressive burn, and the broth tasted layered and developed, not rushed. The braised chicken version leaned more comforting and mellow, with tender pieces of chicken that pulled apart easily. The green beans were a nice contrast, cooked just until tender with enough seasoning to make them more than just an afterthought. Everything came out hot and at a steady pace, which made the meal feel relaxed instead of rushed. For a busy Friday night in Old Town Pasadena, that balance stood out. It is one of those dependable spots where you know the noodles will be fresh and the bowls will hit the mark. If you are heading in on a weekend evening, expect some energy in the room, but it is worth it for a solid, satisfying dinner. read more

Tried this place with my sister and mom and we loved it! The cashier, young lady, was NOT friendly at all. She actually had an attitude all interactions we had, BUT I food made up for it. The other interactions we had with a few other people who worked there were very pleasant. We got a beef kbbq rice bowl, and we also got these beef pancake like things, but they weren't pancakes at all.. it was more like a burrito. We loved the detail in the chopsticks definitely took the to go because the quality was great. We sat in the window seat and it was perfect. Great view to people watch! Aside from the cashier everything was great and the restroom was clean! Definitely recommend. read more

It was a surprisingly short 10 min wait for weekend dinner at 7:30pm. Very bright, spacious and clean inside. Obviously the noodles are the star of the menu but only got the beef roll and lamb skewer this time. Service was attentive. Food came out very quickly. Beef roll was packed with green onions and thinly sliced beef, sweet from the hoisin sauce, and not dry or oily. If you don't like green onions or cilantro, definitely not the dish for you. Lamb skewer was juicy and had a nice kick of spiciness which paired well with the cold refreshing cucumber appetizer. Each dish seemed small but the combination of the 3 was filling You can see the chefs rolling/cooking the noodles and other dishes through the glass in the back. Will definitely try to come back and try one of the fresh noodle dishes since I'm usually always looking for good hand pulled noodles read more

Pretty good but pricy relative to beef noodle soups. A chain since I think they have one near UCLA also but the chef seems to try to innovate by using kale instead of the typical bok choy. It actually worked so I think that's a smart switch for nutritional value. Lamb skewers were overpriced, 9.95 for those three skewers. Service was friendly, a bit slow but nothing to complain about. Ambiance is a typical restaurant, the bathroom was a bit hard to figure out but it was after a run for me so could be my food starved brain. Would I go again? Probably not on my own but would go if a friend wanted to try it read more

I'm glad I found this place! I love spicy beef noodle soup but hadn't had it in a while. This rendition featured a lot of kale, I saw some mentioned they order it without - I would consider doing that but I didn't mind it too much. The noodles were terrific and the soup had decent flavor, but I've had better (about an 7.5/10). But for a chain this was solid. The beef roll pancake was really good, and I enjoyed the watermelon juice. My cousin said her shrimp stir fry noodles were a 8.5/10. Service was A1! Cool, modern ambiance. If I'm near a location and need to satisfy a fix, I'd come back. Now time to waddle around these Pasadena streets until I'm not so full! Lol read more

Visited Noodle St on a whim since I was in the area. I had the Korean BBQ rice bowl which was yummy. My son had the vegetable soup with knife cut noodles which he liked. My husband had a chicken plate with a type of spicy numbing oil that he was not a fan of. As for the service, I was very impressed. They provided bibs and even shears to help cut down pieces of food which was so helpful. They also were accommodating to our small children. Another aspect we enjoyed was the ability to look into the kitchen and see the fresh rice noodles being made! read more

We've been here a few times now, and it never disappoints. Everything we've tried has been absolutely amazing. My personal favorite is the beef roll pancake. It's packed with flavor and cooked perfectly every time. Our go-to dishes are the green onion pancake and the spicy beef noodle soup--both are incredibly delicious, rich, and full of bold, comforting flavors. Everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully prepared, with just the right balance of seasoning. My daughter especially loves the green onion pancake, which says a lot because she's pretty picky! The service is also a big plus. The staff is attentive, friendly, and always helpful without being overbearing. On top of that, the ambiance is really nice, comfortable, and welcoming. Perfect for a relaxed meal. Overall, this place has become one of our favorites, and we'll definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend! read more

We were seated right away on a Saturday night and there's ample seating in the restaurant. Service was quick and attentive. I tried the knife cut noodles which were chewy and thick. I think I would opt to try the flat noodles next time for a flatter noodle. Items ordered: - Beef roll pancake: Really good pancake! There's a lot more cilantro and green onions compared to other beef roll pancakes I've had in the past, and I wish there was a bit more beef, but overall still solid. - String beans: Pretty good flavor but the portion was a little smaller for what you pay for - Signature beef noodle soup: A simple soup that I would definitely order on a cold rainy day or if I want something comforting. Would get again! Overall a solid noodle spot and would come back again! read more

This was my first time getting the tomato egg and it was sooo good! I highly recommend this dish. The flavor was really balanced and it was personally enough to split into 2 meals. The portion size for the price was worth it for me. I will definitely be ordering this again when I get the chance. Service was nice. They even gave us bibs so we didn't spill onto our clothing. I came on a weekday for lunch and it wasn't super packed. It's narrow inside but they have a good amount of tables. read more

Checked out Noodle St for the first time based on all the raving reviews. The dishes were good but found them to be somewhat average. The beef noodle soup seemed to be popular. The beef bone broth was lovely with al dente noodles. Loved that you can select the cut of noodle for each order as well. The service was friendly and attentive but with so many options in the area, Noodle St didn't really offer an entree that stands out. read more

It was a rainy and cold Saturday evening. My girlfriend and I finished our service hours and craved for something warm. Since the wait for hotpot was 45 minutes at 4 pm, we decided to walk over to Noodle Street to slurp some hot soupy noodles. Noodle street was fast sitting us down. I'm surprised the restaurant was kind of full at 4 pm. After browsing the menu, we decided to have the spicy beef noodle with the knife cut. The soup broth was rich with a mild spicy kick. It was perfect on a cold rainy afternoon. The beef was very tender and well marinaded. The noodle was very chewy. The bowl of noodle was a perfect hit to the spot. The ambience was casual and welcoming and servers are very attentive. A perfect early dinner to warm us up on a rainy night. read more

We shared a few different bowls: * Cold Noodles * Beef Noodle Soup * Tomato Egg Noodles The highlight was definitely the noodles themselves--super chewy and fresh. Everything was really flavorful and hit the spot. Definitely a solid addition to the rotation if you're in the area! read more

This place is worth checking out. The beef noodle soup was absolutely incredible. The broth was flavorful and tasted like it had been simmering for hours. The beef was perfectly tender and the noodles had a great texture. We also ordered the shrimp potato strings as an appetizer, and they came out super crispy, golden, and light. Service was quick and the servers were friendly the moment you step in. read more

I'm gonna be the outlier here. And it was more about the service than the food. The place was busy - dinnertime - and the floor was understaffed. The waiters seemed competent. However. The four of us ordered pretty quickly after being seated. Two soups, two rice dishes. Two soups and one rice dish came out. We all finished and waited and waited. We asked three different people to check on the outstanding order and three different people, including our server, told us three different kinds that it was coming and that they were sorry. By the time the food finally came, our fourth diner was so overwhelmed by her day and the lame service and the long wait that she role down and cried. We took it to go, but it ruined our day entirely. My soup was bland and basically a bowl full of noodles even though I said light noodles. The other noodle soup diner said hers was fine and the rice dish was fine. I would never come here again and cannot recommend it. Horrible experience. It's also really unpleasant in there - very bright and cheap looking. I'll give her the Cook's points, they looked like surgeons back there with their white clothes, hats, and masks. To their credit, they did comp us the late dish, but IMO they should've just comped us the whole meal since obviously we had someone very upset about it. I also had to chase them just to give them my money. It was just a bad experience. I don't care how authentic your bland food is, if the experience is terrible it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I do not recommend. read more

got signature beef noodle soup with knife cut and the chicken spicy wontons. the chicken wontons were really good! definitely the highlight of the meal. signature beef noodle soup is good too but didn't have as much of an impact as the wontons. the broth tastes really clean and you can add more chili oil if you want it to be spicier which i like. service was attentive and constantly asked if we needed more water. the water tastes crisp there too, maybe it's because i'm from oc but pasadena water tastes so much better. read more

My favorite Noodle St. location! The interior is beautiful, and it's never too busy whenever I come, so I'm always able to snag a seat right away. Service is efficient and attentive; they regularly check in to make sure you have enough water, which I really appreciate. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu if you're craving something homey and comforting. Some of my favorites include the chow mein, tomato egg noodles, and the beef roll pancake. The signature beef noodle soup's brother has a very clean taste; though I do wish it came with a bit more meat. The chicken wontons also have a clean flavor (honestly better than Din Tai Fung in my opinion). Always so happy to come back and try other things on the menu! Parking tip: Street parking in this area is tough, so I don't even bother. There's a structure behind Miniso that charges just a couple of bucks for the first few hours. I think it's totally worth it for the convenience. read more

We were tired and mildly hungry after a long day and ended up finding this noodle spot while walking around Old Pasadena. With a party of four, we decided to order a variety of dishes to share so everyone could try a bit of everything. We ordered: * Spicy Beef Noodle Soup - Great Bold and satisfying with an easy level of heat. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the four chunky pieces of beef were super tender. * Signature Beef Noodle Soup - Good A classic and comforting bowl. The lighter broth was well balanced and aromatic. The beef came in traditional thin slices, more Northern-style Chinese beef noodle. It would be even better if it had the same chunky beef as the spicy version. * Triangle Spring Mix Salad - Good Large, light, and refreshing. A nice palate cleanser between the heavier dishes. * Cucumber Salad - Good Crisp and refreshing with a subtle tang. Simple but effective. * Scallion Pancake - Great Super crispy on the outside and soft inside with a nice scallion aroma. Great for sharing. * Chicken Spicy Wontons (mild) - Good Well seasoned with a gentle kick. The wontons were tender and paired nicely with the sauce, though I still prefer the original pork spicy wontons. * Potato String Shrimp - Great Crunchy, flavorful, and well balanced. The shredded potato added a fun texture, and the shrimp were cooked just right. * Passion Fruit Green Tea - Great Refreshing with a nice balance of sweetness and tang--perfect for washing everything down. Service was quick and efficient, and the food came out surprisingly fast despite the dinner crowd. Portions were decent, prices were great for the area, and the menu was simple and easy to navigate. Overall, this was a satisfying stop for noodle comfort food in Pasadena, and we'd definitely come back when the craving hits again. read more

Noodle St - Noodles Near Me - Pasadena, California

We were served two small bowls of cucumber at the start of our meal and assumed it was a complimentary side (similar to what a lot of Korean restaurants do). We didn't question it and started eating. Midway through our meal, the manager came over and said it was actually a mistake - that the cucumbers were a paid item. He gave us two options: keep eating and get charged, or have it taken away and not be charged. At that point, we had already eaten about half. Of course, we declined the extra charge since we genuinely thought it came with our order. What happened next is what lost me as a customer. The manager took the dish and immediately dumped it in the trash right behind me, where I could hear it. It felt unnecessary and honestly a bit disrespectful. A better way to handle it would've been to acknowledge the mistake and just comp the dish this time. Instead, it turned into an awkward moment over what couldn't have been more than a few dollars' worth of cucumbers. Not a great experience, and not a place I'd return to based on how this was handled. read more

Noodle St has several locations throughout California. This location is located in downtown Pasadena away from a bit of the hustle and bustle on nearby Colorado road. The prime reason to visit this restaurant is for freshly made noodles. The pulled noodles are made right in front of you in the open kitchen. The restaurant actually offers a choice of four freshly made noodle types! We tried the triangle noodle with chicken entree- the hunks of chicken were impressive in the dish. We also got the beef pancakes that consist of flanked beef, cilantro and more all wrapped up in the perfect wrapper- add a little hoisin and chili sauce and you are all set. In addition to these items, we got the chili oil wontons. All three of these dishes amounted to under 50 dollars with tip and tax. Pretty good in today's economy. As for the environment- the dining area is causal, open and spacious. The dining spaces opens up to the kitchen were you can watch your food being made. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Parking can be tough in downtown Pasadena. I suggest the city parking structures which are minimal in cost. Otherwise try to grab a parking spot on the street- but don't forget to pay the meter. read more

I was with a few work colleagues heading to lunch. I happened to see Noodle St on Colorado Blvd. I knew I had to check them out. The next day I walked here from my work place for a late lunch. It was 1 mile walk to and 1 mile walk from. There were no customers at the time. Lots of inside dining space. Very clean and bright. I can see the chefs from afar on the other side of the entrance. The gentleman behind the counter was very nice and helpful. I didn't pre-order so I ordered right there at the counter. I got the Savory Braised Chicken with knife cut noodles, green onion pancake, and peach black tea drink. I waited no more than 15 minutes. Food came out piping hot and heavy. Wow, there were a lot of moist chicken and tons of veggies. Texture of the noodles were just right. Overall dish was very savory and delicious! I would order it again. As for the green onion pancake, it was light and crispy. Yum! Peach black tea was refreshing as it had the perfect balance between peach and tea flavor. I would return back here to try their other dishes. Btw, they don't serve Dan Dan Noodles at this location even though it is owned by the same owner of their Monrovia location. Thank you Noodle St! read more
