I liked it. Had a noodle craving and decided to check this place out. Inside is bright and modern. A decent amount of seating. A good place for small groups. I got the beef noodle (flat) soup. That definitely hit the spot for my noodle craving. The broth tasted good. It says spicy on the menu, but it was pretty mild to me. I would have liked more heat. My friend got the chicken noodle soup and liked it. We also got a scallion pancake. I'd say you'll probably need a bowl + side to get decently full. They also have dry noodles and rice dishes on the menu so I'll have to check those out next time. Overall this was definitely a good noodle spot. Service was good. Fast and friendly staff. There's street meter parking but they fill up fast. There's also some parking structures within a few blocks. read more

Portions here are huge! I always get the tomato egg noodle. Cucumber salad is heavy on the garlic, but I love it. I've had friends get spicy soups, and they've said it's not very spicy but that it's still pretty good. read more

Noodle St - Noodles Near Me - Pasadena, California

The noodles here are authentic, legit and worth every penny. We got the cold noodles, spicy beef noodle soup, and the shrimp chow mein and everything was amazing! The noodles were perfectly "qq" or "al dente and chewy" as some may know it. The cold noodles were not too salty or spicy and the sauce was so good I ended up pouring it on everything. The beef noodle soup was a good level of heat for mild but be warned it's spicy!! My favorite was the knife cut noodle chow mein. Perfectly wok charred and chewy. Service was okay, just basic but the major props go to the chefs who you can see working hard behind the glass. Everything is so clean and you can see them working hard at making the noodles and the occasional flames from the wok. The food comes out super fast too! Absolutely recommend if you want to try authentic northern Chinese cuisine and spices, just come with an open mind and know spicy means spicy! read more

I came home late from work and my apt was still warm from the days heat. I instantly craved something cold, but savory, and Noodle St.'s cold noodles (specifically their quinghai clear cold noodles and their slippery spicy deliciousness) popped into my head... and luckily it was open until 10pm! We were seated quickly, ambiance was modern, clean, well lit, overall cheery. I took a chance and ended up getting the spring cold noodles instead to add some protein and veggies. I wasn't sure if it'd hit the spot since it was a different noodle type. They did not hit that specific craving, but were amazing in a different way. The noodles were more of a dry style than brothy, but the thin texture held the chili oil well. The sliced/shredded beef, steamed kale, and veggies were a great accompaniment. I will say since the noodles were so tangled, it's not the easiest dish to share since the noodles need to be cut to separate. It was a good portion, I wasn't super hungry, and half a bowl left be satisfied. We also got the beef stuffed dumplings. These were a bit of a miss, would skip. I wanted the beef rolls, but opted for a cilantro free option for sharing. The inner beef meat log was well seasoned and steamed within a thick outer wrapper. It was difficult to eat since the beef easily slipped out of the wrapper. The wrapper was kind of thick to eat on its own. Staff were attentive, even as we got close to closing time, which was appreciated. They have a lot of variety, and love the variety of different noodle types they have. It was intriguing watching the different noodle making processes. Will def be back for more noodles this summer! read more

This is not about the food but rather the management. After expressing interest in applying for a job, the manager asked about age, which is illegal to do so under the california fair employment practices act. When I chose to focus my answer on my restaurant industry experience instead of answering directly, he blocked me. Shame on you. read more

The best noodle place in town. I can't say enough good things about Noodle St. From the service, to the food, to the prices, and the window into the kitchen to see the chefs making the fresh tasty food. The staff always serves us with respect and kindness and the food comes out SO fast. The spicy beef noodle soup is my go-to, but I also really like the bone-in soup, the clear cold noodle, and beef roll pancakes are also my favorites. Definitely try this spot out when you're on Colorado you won't be disappointed! read more

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

FOOD POISONING!!! My partner and I walked in 45 minutes before closing (we were hungry so we knew we'd eat fast). The cashier made it a point to let us know they're closing "soon", as if he wanted us to contemplate going elsewhere. We saw there was another couple who sat down before us and we continued to stay and order. The cashier is now warning us about a spice level being numbing. My partner agreed to it, and the cashier still continued to pry if we were OK with spice. We again said yes please. The noodles came, and he was right, it's a real numbing sensation, BUT it's actually the flavor that was questionable. Something tasted off. My tap water smelled AND tasted weird so I didn't bother to drink it. We were getting glares from workers cleaning nearby / even cooks. It all made sense the next day. The following morning at 5AM, my partner and I were both getting ready for an early day and he is complaining about cramps and stomach pains. He then collapses onto the floor wailing out of pain. This man has a high pain tolerance so I immediately take him to the ER. The care team had to do numerous lab tests and CT scans and while we're all hoping it's not kidney stones, the doctor came to the conclusion it was a terrible case of food poisoning instead. Thanks for the $3000 bill and "extra spice", Noodles St! We will never be back. For the record, we were out of there 5 minutes before closing, while the other couple was still eating. read more

Really good noodles! Also good location if coming from Glendale or Burbank as you don't have to drive all the way to the SGV.

A great spot for quick delicious food. Was in town for a conference at the convention center and this was an easy walk and super fast. The menu isn't 100% clear on their gluten-free options but turns out most of the noodle bowls can be done with GF rice noodles. They were so good and fresh. The server was very knowledgeable about GF options and very accommodating of my allergy. My friend enjoyed her gluten noodles too! read more

Noodle St - Noodles Near Me - Pasadena, California

We ordered the (1) signature beef noodle soup, (2) qinghai clear cold noodle, and (3) cucumber salad. My favorite was surprisingly the qinhai clear cold noodle. (1) Signature beef noodle soup ($14.50) There were four options for what type of noodles we wanted in this soup. We chose the chewiest type which is called "knife cut." The overall flavor of the soup was good, but the chili oil was doing a lot of work. Also the knife cut noodle was great in texture, but I actually didn't love them. I much preferred the cold noodles that we ate instead which I found out is not an option you can choose. I actually probably wouldn't order this item again I would try something different. (2) Qinghai clear cold noodle ($10.80) I really enjoyed the flavor and the type of noodle selected. It was what brought me the most joy from the three food items we ordered. Definitely order this one! (3) Cucumber salad ($7.50) This was a refreshing appetizer. It was interesting how they combined the cilantro and cucumber together. I really liked the sauce it was covered in. Overall, I return to try the other plates and noodle options they offer! Also, it's wonderful that it's located on Colorado street where other businesses are right next door. read more

If you're looking for hand pulled noodles, Noodle St will definitely satisfy your cravings. I've come here a couple of times and they always hit. Their hand pulled noodles and savory broths are always consistently satisfying. My favorite is definitely the Bone-In Rib noodle soup, the other items on their menu are good too but the rib meat is just so good, unbeatable. The review today is to shout out their service! They were so sweet and checked in frequently. Great vibe, great food, busy atmosphere. Fantastic lunch spot in old town Pasadena! read more

I work close to this noodle shop here is my honest review Quick look: friendly staff- delicious food-good portions The staff was so welcoming and friendly even the woman who was cleaning the glass on the door greeted me warmly. when I asked for a recommendation and explained, that it was my first time, the girl at the counter quickly gave me recommendations, pointed out her favorite combination, and then proceeded to give me even more information on other top Favorites, which was very helpful. I trusted her decision and ordered exactly what she recommended which was. 1 stir-fry noodles with the hand-cut noodle option with beef Wow! The Noodles were chewy just an amazing texture, hardy and offered a good mouthful. The dish had no lack in flavor surprising amount of umami not too salty vegetables had a nice crunch which is needed For this dish. Back to customer service, I mentioned I was on work break they said the wait was 15 min and then got it out to me early I was pleasantly surprised A gentleman overheard me ask if there were condiments the girl said came with chili oil he then asked if if also liked sriracha because who doesn't love Sriracha I appreciated his offer and the way he was paying attention to his environment and assisted me so cheerfully Lastly I love that you can customize with different noodle options. I'm very excited to come back and try another dish! read more

We used to love coming here and today there we experience was ruined by their horrible service. Not only did the food quality and quantity change (literally 4 pieced of meat in the noodle soup) also they added kale to the spicy beef soup. In the end when they gave us the bill, they gave us a tote bag that had the noodle Street logo. We spent a good amount and had a family member with us so asked if we could get 1 more bag and the waitress said no, it's one per table. So we asked to speak with the manager so came by and also said no which ok we tried, but to make matters worse, the manager and the the waitress we initially spoke to started chatting across from us and laughing! Super unprofessional and rude. Let them keep their bags, no one wants to promote business with bad service! read more

Noodle St - Chicken Stir-Fry Noodles - Noodles Near Me - Pasadena, California

Great food and I promise the vibe here is also very chill and relaxing. Friendly servers and great price.

Noodles St (several locations). The Pasadena compared to Fullerton establishment is much more relaxed and quiet. In fact, now that I tried here and when willing to pay for parking in a structure, I may choose to eat here instead. The pulled noodles are made in-house. It's an art to be able to effectively and consistently "pull" a roll of dough into thick spaghetti-style noodles. 4 of 5: My spicy beef noodle soup, with flank beef, is delicious. The broth wasn't as spicy and temperature wasn't popping hot! 5 of 5: What really wowed me is the perfect - beef pancake wrapped rolled. In the other establishment (or competitor restaurant) offering this similar dish, the wrapper is usually too oily or doughy. The Noodle St (Pasadena) have the perfect light, crispy texture wrapping grilled flanked beef and light splash of hoisin sauces. read more

This is a great find in downtown Pasadena! We were in the area and decided to pop in because of a craving for some Chinese food. It turned out to be an excellent decision! It was very well-lit and clean inside, a very welcoming and comfortable environment. We were promptly seated and had our order quickly taken as soon as we were ready. There's a decent amount of seating while still be spaced apart nicely, so it doesn't feel cramped. The food came out in no time - we both got beef noodle soups, but with different types of noodles. I got the flat style of noodle for mine, which was described on the menu as being similar to fettuccine. I thought they were very chewy and were delicious with the broth. If you want a bit of spice, I thought it had a great kick with each sip of it after adding some chili sauce. I have no complaints. The prices were pretty reasonable for a big bowl of beef noodle soup - about $14. The food itself was chewy and delicious, the service quick and efficient, and the ambiance vibrant and welcoming. I definitely recommend! read more

We came on a Sunday evening and had to wait about 5 minutes to be seated at a full restaurant. We got the beef pancake wrap,Qinghai clear cold noodle and cucumber salad. Pros - I do not like typically like Chinese food as I find it often greasy but it wasn't the case here. everything was good. I don't have Chinese food often so I don't have much to compare it to but we both enjoyed everything. - prices were reasonable Cons - Parking is a hassle if you've never been to Colorado street. You may have to walk a few blocks. Overall - 8/10 read more

Got a beef noodle soup that was approximately 5% beef, 45% noodle, and 50% soup/misc. BIG SAD. Otherwise, very flavorful broth, nice ambiance (clean, bright), very kind wait staff. But was so so so disappointed by the lack of beef in my beef noodle soup, one of their star menu items. 4 stars instead of 3 because my friend seemed to like hers (she got the spicy version of mine and I don't think they skimped on meat for her bowl.) I will chalk mine up to bad luck. read more

After a LOOONNGG day of almost barfing at Universal Studios, we decided to ease our stomachs with some SPICY BEEF NOODLE SOUP. We entered and were seated immediately. I enjoyed that the guests could see the entire kitchen and see their noodles getting made. We placed our orders and within 15 minutes, our bowls of noodle soup arrived. I cannot speak on the authenticity, but the beef noodle soup here was YUMMY *chef's kiss*. The spice level was just right and the noodles were cooked to perfection. The beef was tender and juicy. Definitely would come back to this chain to enjoy their other bowls of noodles (or the spicy beef noodle soup again!) read more

Noodle St - Spicy beef noodle soup as of 9/5/23 - Noodles Near Me - Pasadena, California

More like 2.5 stars for the beef noodle soup and service, bumped up a bit since the side dishes were good. However, I would rather go to other Noodle St locations. I think our server was brand new, as he couldn't provide a recommendation for his favorite items, nor water when requested... This occurred during early dinner service when there were only a few other diners at the restaurant. We also requested extra bowls to share between the three of us, which came 5-10 min after our beef noodle soup. We sat there waiting, since we couldn't eat, and the hand pulled noodles got slightly soggy despite being the thickest cut. Furthermore, the broth was one-note, mostly soy flavored. In comparison to the Fullerton location, the broth seemed dark and mixed uniformly with the chili oil. Is it because I forgot to ask for "light spicy", and ordered it as-is (medium)? There was no complexity as compared with the other locations; normally it's got a light savory broth layered with chili oil. Lastly, I didn't see xiao long bao on the menu and found out they do not serve it at the Pasadena location. My brain short circuited and I balked for a second before I remembered I was in public. I tried to recover by asking the server for his favorite thing on the menu. He stuttered and said the noodles were really good. This was after we had already ordered beef noodle soup. It's not the end of the world, I guess this place is alright if you want to come for a snack - but only if you've already paid for parking doing something else in the area... Portions are big and filling. The beef roll was good with its crispy exterior, soft beef, plenty of fresh cilantro, and good amount of sauce. The marinated cucumber was good, with garlic and cilantro. read more

This place was nice and clean. The reason they got 4 instead of 5 stars is our food came separately. The food looks amazing and tasted really good. A little chili oil added and we're good to go! We ordered the Signature beef noodle/rice noodle soup and the chicken noodle/rice noodle soup. The beef noodle came with beef shank , radishes, cilantro and leeks. We substituted the standard round flour and egg noodles in the beef dish. The chicken noodle soup had chunks of large dark chicken chunks, spinach, shiitake mushrooms,cilantro and green onions. Pretty delicious and the soup was boiling hot. Pretty noisy in here so hard to have a conversation. Overall a very good meal. Street metered, lot and some free parking in the area.

Literally everything we ordered was so good, so much so that we were speechless. The cold noodle appetizer, the crispy beef roll, and the cucumber salad, lamb skewers, and kimchi fried rice.... oh!! And the watermelon juice! We will definitely be back!! read more

Noodle St - Noodles Near Me - Pasadena, California

Their noodles are incredible, fresh and handmade in-house. However, I'm giving them 3 stars because of the service. I've ordered pick up twice and both times I had to wait an unreasonably long time for my order. The second time, I waited over 40 minutes despite the restaurant not being busy at all. What's the point of ordering 6 hours in advance if the order is not ready on time? One time is understandable, but this happened twice. The food is great, but the pick up experience needs serious improvements. read more

Found a wavy black hair about the length of my finger engrained in my thick cut noodle. Surprising to see when I was splitting up the soup with my date. I wouldn't have thought to see something like that with their clear walls into the kitchen (looks like they should consider hairnets along with their fancy hats). Besides that, service was actually really good. But the food was just not it at all. The beef noodle soup was just so bland and tasteless. And there was barely any beef in the soup. And the beef rolls barely had any beef or flavor as well (although I did like the texture of the roll). The ratio of everything was off. Was hoping to have an easy local spot to go to in Pasadena but it looks like it will have to just be SGV instead. read more

Great spot for handcrafted noodles. I've ordered to-go as well as dined inside and both were positive experiences. I really enjoy the spicy beef noodle soup. Not too spicy, tender beef chunks, rich flavorful salty soup, and lots of green onion. You can choose the type of noodles you want - I like the triangle and knife cut since they're thicker and chewier, but you can get standard spaghetti or flat noodles too. The beef roll pancake is good too, but not as good as some other places (like Mama Lu's) - the chili sauce on the side isn't that tasty. The passion fruit tea and watermelon juice is really good and refreshing to contrast the salty soup. Inside has plenty of seating and super clean. We parked at the lot across the street. read more

Noodle St - Passionfruit Black Tea (3P) - Noodles Near Me - Pasadena, California

Delicious delicious food for any weather! What I've tried: Signature beef noodle soup- highly recommend, it's a noodle soup that warms you up in the winter and also very enjoyable all year round. The beef broth is very flavorful and the noodles absorb the flavors very well. It also tastes very light at the same time, so it's just perfection in a bowl! It also comes with some chili oil on top, which I love, but you can opt to have it on the side if you'd like. I get this with the standard cut noodle. Tomato Egg Noodle - just so few ingredients, but so amazing! It's flavorful and packs a punch. I can't even describe how amazing this is. Get it with the knife cut noodles! Spring cold noodles - perfect on a warm summer day. The noodle street flavor is there with the chili oil and the veggies just make it so refreshing! Highly recommend. read more

Yum! We went to Universal Studios this day, and needed to get dinner somewhere decently close and wait out the horrible traffic. My friend said this place had good beef noodle so we came here. I dislike coming to Pasadena because of the parking situation, but we parked in a public garage this time. Note that Noodle St does not validate for parking. We took a little over an hour, which amounted to $3. I got the spicy beef noodle soup and it was delicious! I don't get this dish often, but was glad I did here. The soup wasn't super rich, but had good flavor. They were also generous with the meat and noodle portions. Everyone at the table got this dish, so I can't comment on anything else haha. They have other locations with better parking situations, so I'd definitely try the other locations again. read more
