    78. Crispy Noodles Shrimp ($1.50 premium upgrade fee) Chow Mein.
    Rick S.

    The service was very friendly and welcoming. From the perspective of "Noodle World" (which I often confused with "Noodle Planet") and I think I've been to other locations, the menu here is smaller in variety but does cover the "All Asian Noodles" of Chinese (Fun/Egg), Japanese (Ramen/Udon), Vietnamese (Pho) and maybe Thai... both soup noodle dishes and dry / fried noodles as base staples to choose from. I could have sworn the menu of "Noodle World" was more robust 'tho with many other dishes. So, I think this might just be a "smaller" (in space) location to the one in Alhambra, maybe. Parking was easy 'tho and it's on the cusp of the East Los Angeles area. Nothing too wrong about this place, other than the restroom/bathroom is a bit intimidatingly overrun by graffiti where it has a bad aesthetic, but isn't filthy nor dirty per se, just not the way a public restroom should look and they might consider getting rid of the graffiti (unless it's a clientele problem that continues to arise and can never be kept clean).

    Chicken tom kah is very good here, I would say this is a great noodle soup alternative to pho or ramen on a cold day. The broth has the right balance of Thai flavors, lightly sweet, savory, sour, and a little spicy. The spicy spaghetti is good as usual, would recommend if you want a dry noodle. The interior dining service is good but location is old and campy, it would do for quick lunch or dinner. Feels like eating in Asia. 3.5 stars but 4 for nostalgia and price. This is a solid to-go spor

    I had ordered dinner here and it was kind of my fault for ordering at the wrong Noodle World as I thought I had ordered at the once in Alhambra. I actually never knew this place exited just to find out it has been here for a long time. The parking situation itself was pretty tight but i managed to find a spot as it's located in a very small strip mall on Atlantic Blvd. Restaurant itself was pretty small; probably 4-5 tables? I had ordered for pick-up anyways and the staff was friendly. Ordered their Seafood Spaghetti (non-spicy) and their Fried Chicken Wings. Though I wish I ordered their spicy seafood spaghetti instead as the non-spicy was ok. Had to order non-spicy for the kids. As for their fried chicken wings, the wings were dry very fried which wasn't too bad. Good thing is they had a nice sweet tangy sauce to dip the wings in. The chicken itself could've been more juicier on the inside but nevertheless, taste wise is pretty much on par with the location in Alhambra.

    It's a nice surprise to see Noodle World still around. There used to be more locations. I ordered to go online and the food was ready within less than 15 minutes. The interior looked clean and well-maintained. Not sure how it was dining-wise but I think most people order to go anyway.

    I used to come here all the time, it was always kept up and prices were reasonable, buy now prices seem to be much higher for the amount food you get. The seating area looks and smells run down. The company/workers/ owners have really let this place go. I mean really their restroom is disgustingly filthy and (please check the picture) what does that say about the entire place , I'm even. Afraid of what the kitchen might be like - even though they have an A rating for inspection - I think the inspector needs to come again. Well I hope this helps potential patrons, to be honest I'm a bit bummed about it. Won't be returning . Need to find a new Thai food place in Monterey Park, CA.

    Pad see eww

    I ordered some pad se ew and some mixed fried rice for delivery and it was so good! The positions are really good to share. The flavor was great for both dishes. For my personal taste the rice had too much onion but they were pieces big enough to pick out. That wasn't my dish tho but I had a taste. If I ordered my own I would ask for no onion if possible. Other than that it was a great lunch! Oh yeah! The peanut sauce is a must! It's so good.

    Take out phone order was quick, just waited for less than 10 mins, Noodle came slightly over cooked, soft and soggy. It was nonetheless delicious and accurate for the taste. Portion is plenty.

    I ordered the chicken Tom kah but exchanged the protein for shrimp. It was very citrus flavored but I loved it! It was filling and cheaper than the soup place across the street. I was served within 10 minutes. The waitress was friendly. I had a yummy Thai Tea with my meal. Delish!

    Noodle World has been a staple in my family for so long, and it honestly never disappoints! If you're looking for a good, casual dinner this is the place. I always get the seafood pad thai, and it's always good. Noodle World serves big portions that I'm never able to finish, which makes it great for splitting dishes with family! I also highly recommend the Seafood Pad See Ew with crispy noodles (my dad's go-to order). The interior is casual, with small tables and a big mural on the wall. The servers are always really nice and cheerful, and the food gets served fast. I really like that this is one of the few places left that still serves almond milk tea too!! It's definitely nothing fancy, but I've personally never been disappointed by the food or service here :)

    Went for lunch ordered the pad we yu, pad thai and iced thai tea with boba. Liked the pad thai but the pad se yu noodles were thinner then i usually have and taste wise was just ok. The thai iced tea boba hit the spot! Ordered ate in service was fine (it's a small eatery) we were there right when it opened so maybe the wok wasn't hot enough(?)

    Do they do curb side pick up?

    No. You have to park and possibly wait in a line. The food is great but the Covid set up isn't the best

    Are there gluten free noodles that can be requested? I didn't read anything in the reviews.

    They have a lot of rice noodle dishes but I didn't see any substitutions.

Luyixian is a gem located in the ABC plaza near the intersection of Valley Boulevard and Garfield Avenue. Luyixian serves a variety of soy-based dishes, regional Chinese comfort cuisine, and Zhejiang specialties. Luyixian is mostly known for their braised pork rice and beef noodle soup. The atmosphere there was nice and the staff there were very friendly. Parking can be found either inside the plaza building or underground. I ordered the braised beef rice. The braised beef rice was mouthwatering! It is like a home cooked meal. The braised beef was very tender and juicy. The beef is served with sauteed cabbage, pickled vegetables, hard-boiled egg, and a scoop of rice. The braised beef rice will taste even better when everything on the plate is mixed together. My dish took about 10 minutes to be served, which is quite quick. So far, my first time dining at Luyixian was a great experience! I would definitely recommend this gem to anyone who loves braised pork rice or other Chinese dishes!

Not a fan of bean sprouts but will eat if I need to, but in this case - it totally overwhelmed the dish. There also wasn't enough rice noodle for me. Everything else was good, but that kinda blew it for me. Also got the spicy soup with beef and tomatoes. This is more of a gentle burn in spice they slowly works its way up. It's good if you like spice. Restaurant wasn't too busy when we arrived but got a good amount of customers by the time we were leaving. Workers are friendly. Not sure if I'd be back though.

Beef roll looked more like a giant taco but was also excellent. In the most convoluted sequence of restaurant occupancy in the annals of Chinese restaurants in the United States, Noodle King has supplanted Rice Hero/Hero's Kitchen/In Joy Lunch in Alhambra in the space formerly occupied by a different restaurant named Noodle King in the 1980s and 1990s. There's a lot to explain here. I used the compound name for the previous occupant because the name on the front entrance was Rice Hero, the back entrance said Hero's Kitchen and the digital menus said In Joy Lunch. I say the old restaurant was supplanted, not replaced, because the old restaurant sort of still hangs around, with a tiny sheet of paper with all 3 old names taped to the front door, and many old dishes still on the menu. Why the three names I don't know. In Joy Lunch had been a popup that operated during lunch hour serving Dongbei food in a space in YYDS Fried Strings in Rosemead. In Joy Lunch then struck out on their own last year with this space in Alhambra, adding the new names. The old Noodle King had been a Taiwanese noodle fixture before moving out in 2003. Since the new Noodle King also serves some of the Rice Hero/Hero's Kitchen/In Joy Lunch items, the same name seems to be just a coincidence. But despite holdover menu items the staff clearly say they're a new restaurant, with the Noodle King himself greeting you at the front entrance and the signage in both front and back now say Noodle King.

From the outside, you can't tell the inside has really good space with booths plus tables and chairs, but it does. They weren't super busy at the time... about 5 tables occupied. I was greeted right away by the one server who was working the entire floor. Interior was clean and well lit. Atmosphere was comfortable. Menu has a variety of options... boiled dumplings, pan-fried dumplings, steamed mini buns, stir-fried noodles, regular noodles, rolls & pancakes, side dishes, rice, soup, and beverages. They also have frozen food to-go (just two items... dumplings and dezhou chicken). I got one Steamed Mini Buns (aka Xiao Long Bao), one Stir-Fried Noodles with pork, one Lamb Noodles Soup (with hand torn noodles), and one Jasmine Green Tea with honey. Yes, this seems like a lot of food for one person. I'm not a stranger to bringing food home for another meal. *Steamed Mini Buns - juicy with flavorful pork filling, adequate skin thickness, good size buns *Stir-Fried Noodles with pork - best dish out of the 3, good balance between pork, veggies, and noodles, mild spice level was perfect, portions were reasonable for the price *Lamb Noodles Soup - great amount of lamb and noodles, lamb was tender, noodles were a tad mushy on the edge... they need to be firmer, soup was savory *Jasmine Green Tea with honey - good size cup, tea was a bit bitter, probably needs more honey Food came out steaming hot and timely. Staff and service were wonderful. Yan, the server, was patient and helpful. He did an amazing job working the entire floor by himself. Thank you Yan! Highly recommend this place for their pan-dried and soup noodles. I would come back for more pan-fried noodles and try their pan-fried dumplings.

The minced pork with noodles (aka Jia Jiang mien) is also good. For this visit, I did not order dumplings. But their dumplings are usually good. The service is adequate but don't expect good service.
