Great employees and Great Fried Seafood Udon Noodle!!! My family and I shared the Xiao Long Bao, the Fried Seafood Udon Noodle, the BBQ Pork Noodle Soup, and the Combo Pala Fried Rice XO Sauce. The Xiao Long Bao comes with 5 of them, and they come with soy sauce and picked ginger. They look amazing, but most of the soup fell out because the dough stuck to the parchment paper. The meat inside the Xiao Long Bao is decent, and it pairs great with the pickled ginger and soy sauce. The Fried Seafood Udon Noodle was a favorite out of all the dishes we ordered. It doesn't taste greasy, and everything in the dish is paired well together. The texture of the noodles were perfect, and there's no complaints about the dish. The BBQ Pork Noodle Soup tasted a bit greasy, but the noodles seem to pair well with the BBQ Pork Wontons. The wontons didn't have a strong BBQ Pork flavor, but it did taste different enough from regular pork wontons where you could consider it BBQ Pork. The Combo Pala Fried Rice XO Sauce looked great, but it also tasted greasy. The components in the fried rice were great, but there was just this greasy taste all over. The service was amazing. All the employees were so kind, helpful, and all smiles. They're all very quick, and they're all great! There's plenty of seating inside of the restaurant, and there's seating outside the restaurant. The line for ordering at the restaurant can become long very quickly, but luckily the employees are fast with taking orders and placing orders. The restaurant is unfortunately in a "Smoking Allowed" zone of the casino so it can get a bit nauseating to eat outside the restaurant. I would come here again! The Fried Seafood Udon Noodle was great, and I'd get it again! read more

This restaurant is very small and few tables for dine. I'm impressed this Asian mix restaurant. They have pho and Chinese food. Ordered Chinese food it was really good. I loved all the food we ordered such as: beef broccoli with rice, combination crispy noodles and fried rice with xo sauce. It really worth it. Also the costumer service is amazing very friendly. The only bad thing I can say is the casino smells like cigarette so the restaurant smells like cigarettes too read more

Didn't expect the shrimp to come out like that. I expected some sore of fried peel shrimp but it was actually pretty good. My mom is a big fan of the seafood delight. The bao is okay mostly bread. Thai tea is pretty good. Lots and lots of seating both inside the restaurant and outside. U order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. read more

The food here is actually pretty decent if overpriced for what you get. They were extremely cheap with the amount of chicken in the sweet and sour chicken as well as the orange chicken. They should call it sweet and sour pineapple vegetables with a few stray chicken bites. The combination fried rice was a generous serving. They did give us a lot of bulgogi but unfortunately it was very dry. The serving size of the seafood crispy noodles was also lacking. Flavor wise, it seemed pretty much par for the course. It was interesting to see they brought some of the furniture out from the buffet to the food court now that the buffet is closed. It's a shame they shut it down because that was one of the highlights of going to Pala, especially lobster night. At least it's a lot more comfortable in the dining court area now. I was bothered by the attitude of the woman who brought our food out to us. After having to gather our own plates and utensils, I asked if we could get more napkins. She just pointed at the plates which had one napkin on a couple of plates (that WE had to round up). We had a party of 5 so I said we'd need more. She grumbled as she walked about 10 feet to a cabinet where they were kept. I felt really bad having her use so much energy to perform such a demanding task. She should have just told us where they were since we got everything else already. Sheesh. Anyway, FOOD: B SERVICE: nonexistent. read more

Long slow lines. I ordered seafood Delight. Supposed to have scallops, squid, fish cakes. The only seafood was Shrimp! RIP off!!! My friend ordered same dish. 20 mins after my dinner arrived he got his. We asked 4 other servers to check. I finally said " My friend ordered same time as me! Please bring his dinner and unlike mine, make sure he has seafood and not just shrimp!!! Finally it came, just before I was going to go into the kitchen and have a discussion. This place has a potential to be great! Poor mgt!!! read more

One of the things that hurts this place has nothing to do with the restaurant. The seating area is right next to the smoking area of the casino. Really odd that they have a non-smoking area next to their gift shop, snack bar and nicer restaurant but not next to their three other eating establishment, Noodles, The Cafe and the Luis Reys sports bar. On nicer days, there is a patio close by so you can take your food outside if desired. But, back to the place. This is a stand-in-line to order, wait for them to bring you your food place. There is some seating inside the order / prep area but the majority of the people sit in the larger area next to the slot machines. There is a menu board on the pillars as you enter and additional menus up by the registers. This causes a bit of delay as new people wait to get to the register before they figure out what they want. If you have a medium appetite, you can easily share one entree. The Beef Bulgogi is very good and does come on top of bean sprouts with a side of white rice. Quantity changes on each visit but the prices and food quality here are much better than the Chinese place in Harrahs. When we are a little more hungry, we like to add one of the rice dishes. We will either get the combo fried rice or the pork fried rice. The soups are also very popular here and are all around $19. Again, a large bowl and very filling. They have free bottled water if you ask. From standing in line, to order to delivery of food can take a while so hopefully you are not in a hurry. We do enjoy it even though the closest dining environment is less than optimal. Enjoy!!! read more

1 Star This was hands-down the worst pho, fried rice, and lo mein I've ever had. Everything was unseasoned, overly greasy, and had a heavy, lardy aftertaste. It's like no one bothered to taste the food before serving it. Pala, I get that you're going for authenticity, but there's no excuse for serving dishes with no flavor. You have a standard to uphold, and this place is falling far short. Do yourself a favor: skip this place and head to Luis Rey or the café instead. You'll have a much better meal there! read more

I was in one of the hangry moods where I needed to eat. Being at Pala there's about three choices. Opted for middle of the road Asian food. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Went with an Orange chicken that came with rice. Not sure if the chicken had been fried a few times but it tasted like it.. then there were these burnt things I thought was chicken but it turned out to be burnt orange peel. My wife went with the pork ramen. She put her super power to work and made it disappear. She said it tasted good. Overall I'd eat it again, maybe asking for a fresh batch just because I know now. Middle of the road pricing. read more

We had to return all of our plastic ware, as it appeared to have been previously used (food was still stuck to it). Even the "new" forks had a film that was remarkably similar that found in cheap dishwasher detergent. In other words, they're "recycling" their plastic ware. The paper napkins also had evidence of being re-used. Gross There's also a lack of chairs. Only two per table, so if you want to eat with three people you're going to be stealing someone else's chair. The amount of seating in general is woefully inadequate. As for the reason to come into the restaurant, the food? Overpriced and remarkably substandard. The chicken in my lo mein tasted like it had been sitting out for a week, and was so dry it would give Anakin Skywalker horrible flashbacks of his days on Tatooine. Skip this disgusting place. read more

Looked over the restaurant options and from menu and thought Noodles sounded good. We were a little disappointed in the quality. The potstickers were ok 3/5 and could have come right out of a bag. The Haam Sui Gau was not very good 2/5, and the siu mai was dry and light on flavor 2/5. We are from the 626 so have high standards. Been here before over years and seems to have really come down. This is surprising especially considering I would think that Pala would want to offer their players, especially those that like Asian food, very high quality food. Service and ambiance ok. Robot was on a break. read more

We come here for the Wok-Stir Fried Udon Seafood Noodles! The fried Salted Shrimp had great flavor but would'be been even better if they dredged it in cornstarch. Combo Fried Rice & Sui Mai was also very good. Only thing that was off putting was the casino went back to smoking which unfortunately carries over to the restaurant. read more

Located inside Pala casino. Severely disappointed. Ordered Lo Mein combo. It did not have any flavor. Also ordered the beef and broccoli. This came with white rice. The beef was good. The rice was cold and hard. My husband returned the rice and asked for a fresh one. The top of the rice was hot. The middle of the rice was clumpy, and hard like it hadn't finished cooking. Needless to say we got up and left the food. You order at the counter, pay and then find yourself a seat. We will not be returning. read more

Changes are inevitable, but not always for the best nor agreeable. From past visits and experiences, Noodles was a surprisingly good restaurant for Chinese dishes. The food court always felt a bit limited, but I can always count on having some comfort food items here. Today, the menu has been changed and updated. For the good, there are some welcome additions. Other Asian-inspired dishes have been incorporated. Unfortunately, I don't think the quality consistency is here anymore. Staple dishes like the Orange Chicken could have been more crispy and less sugary. The Fried Rice needed a bit more wok hay. The flavors were a bit muddled and not as distinctive as before. The introduction of Pad Thai should have been better thought out, for this staple dish usually determines the tradecraft of good Thai cooking. Dim Sum items and Wonton Shrimp Noodles continued to be very good. Along with the Bulgogi. The biggest disappointment here is the deletion of the Porridge/Jook from the menu. This was once the best example of such a basic dish I have ever had. I am saddened to see it gone. read more

Noodles - Bulgogi beef - Chinese Near Me - Pala, California

With a generic name like this expect average food. It's no secret I stay at casinos and love trying their food. Barona's and Sycuan's Asian restaurants are one of the best (I know you read those reviews). I was slightly disappointed here. First, it's small and so is the menu. And it really doesn't have an identity. I mean you get Japanese udon and Chinese pork buns and Korean Tom Yom but don't expect Vietnamese pho or Thai curry or Korean chicken or Philippine adobo. Second, I got the seafood udon. It was ok and better with hot sauce. There was a good amount of seafood and I did like the variety. But just tasted at best average. Overall three stars. The menu is just to small to be called an Asian restaurant. But the service is fast and friendly. M read more

Since Pala got rid of the buffet now they can charge whatever they want for food and people have no choice but to pay. At all other restaurants is nearly imposible to find tables, lines to order food are long and slow. And I'm writing this even before trying the food. Basically over 1 hr to get a simple order read more

Recently staying at the Pala Casino for the first time. Noodles was the first stop for the evening dinner. We love Pad Thai so we ordered it plus broccoli beef. Both very tasty, and the two of us shared and had leftovers. Two days later, we were checking out and we ordered the Pad Thai to go. Service was fast with a smile. it's more like cafeteria style nothing fancy, you walk up to order and pay then find your seat and put your number on your table. read more

Definitely worth a try when visiting Pala Casino. I like their Dim Sum as well as their deep fried salt and peppered shrimp. The staff are super friendly and patient. Food is always made to order. Even their Thai Tea Boba is tasty. Their offerings do taste better if you use a comp. I'll be back again when dropping in. read more

Noodles is located inside the Pala Casino dining area. I believe this is one of the better place to eat when you're hungry in between gambling or just walking around doing your thing. It seems like a blend of Chinese and Thai food from what I see on the menu. I wanted to play it safe and get the Orange chicken over here because I saw everyone sitting have a plate of it in front of them. You go up to the counter, order and then pay as the food is brought out to you minutes later. There is a good amount of seating area as well. The Orange chicken was decent and definitely fresh as it was the more popular item. The flavor and texture was how it should be and at times it's best to play safe just like when you gamble as well. read more

Noodles - Orange Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Pala, California

Had dinner at Noodles after a concert at Pala casino. Food seem fresh to order. I ordered the crispy Cantonese noodles with vegetables, which seem more like uncooked Ramen with vegetables so I was a little disappointed, but I did finish my plate and shared with my husband. My husband ordered the udon noodles seafood bowl, which he loved and finished. The restaurant is very busy, limited seating inside the casino the service was quick, and the ambience is well you're inside of a casino and can see the entire casino floor so it feels more like a Casino Cafe, than a Restaurant. Nothing wowed me about our dinner, I was hungry, I needed to sober up after a few cocktails from the concert, so it did the job not sure if I would return. The decor is nice & modern. read more

**Updated** 4 STARS Today's casino winner (wife) was hungry for some type of Asian noodles. I tried to remind her (even showed her my post on Yelp) the last time we ate here and how she didn't care for it. So, we're waiting in line to order, this nice elderly lady (yes, she was Asian) turns to us and says, "Only a few items are good here", she went on to recommend the crispy noodle for my wife and the Pala combo fried rice for me. WINNER-WINNER!! My wife luv'd-luv'd the crispy noodles with chicken and vegetables. Veggies were perfectly cooked, no rawness but not mushy. Chicken was velvety tender, the way it should be. Noodles were crisp but getting softer by the minute as the flavorful sauce started to permeate thru the noodles. My Pala fried rice combo: Can't go wrong with shrimp, chicken, char siu and Chinese sausage expertly stir-fried in a seasoned wok. Well done wok master of Pala Noodles restaurant. Zhōngguó lo tàitài (elder Chinese lady) knew what was up! I'm glad she shared her knowledge because now we also, are in the know. read more

Fried rice: 2/5. Not really a fan of the fried rice. rice was too dry but big portions but sooo dry and hard. 4/5 for the pad thai. spicy and sour with a kick. 4/5 for the crab claws only wish it came with five per order not three (yes im greedy like that). Overall, decent chinese/asian food inside a casino. read more

As a local, this was our family go to restaurant for take out. Be warned, unless you're a hotel guest you cannot do take out and even then only two entrees per . What does a family of two adults and two kids do? I have to agree, the food quality has gone down. The flavor, the chicken was over cooked, portion sizes... like other Yelpers I ate the rice. I'm confused during a time business is struggling they wouldn't encourage take out. I'm sad to say it will be the last time I go there after years of being a customer. I don't gamble, I had no other reason to be in the casino. I just enjoyed their food and convenient location to our rural living. Even if you do like the food, they won't give you a to-go box if you can't finish it. read more

Very busy restaurant in Pala casinos. If you go for dinner, on average plan to stand in line for 20 to 30 minutes to order. The food is good and hot. Portions are small. We use to be able to split a meal between 2 people but they have cut the portion sizes in more than half. Prices are high for the portion size. read more

Asian here! I love Asian food, but This place served so far the worst food I've ever had in my life. I was little shocked. It is absolutely disgusting. Every single ingredients on the meal had something terribly wrong with it. If you are curious you should go and order what I had. Combo soup (shrimp wonton, bok Choy, roasted duck, noodle) It smelled terrible, looked terrible, the duck meat was very old, noodle had strong stench that my husband across the table was disgusted, wonton tasted like expired frozen food from grocery store, bok Choy soaked up the smell from of the noodle and it also tasted bad. I was vey hungry but I couldn't eat. My husband ordered crispy chow mein but he also said his meal was terrible. Also I was pretty annoyed by how the waitress kept piling up dirty dishes onto this "carrying robot" which was sitting right next to me for a long time, the huge pile smelled bad too, she was literally squeezing the dirty dishes and left overs between piles until it's completely packed. I Felt like eating by a garbage can. Too bad because This casino also has several nice restaurants, bar and cafe, and I enjoyed every bite of the meal and drinks from where we had visited during our stay, but this restaurant "Noodles" is something from a different world, I believe it needs to be shut down. read more

The service is all right it's basically order at the desk and then you sit down at an empty table. If you sit "outside" the restaurant you do get a slight smoke smell. It's basic Chinese food. The great thing about it is you get huge family style portions that can feed three to four people. read more

Customer service was great! I waited about 15 minutes for a nice fresh plate of chicken pad Thai. The portion was pretty big, and I couldn't finish it. I love my food steaming hot and that's exactly what I got. You order, and have a seat and they bring it out to you. The tables and seats were clean, and had a plate and chopsticks ready for you at every table. The portion was for 2 people forsure. I really don't know why so many people didn't care for it. I think they have definitely stepped their game up since all these bad reviews for this place. Give it another shot. I would definitely come back! Was it the best? No, but it was fresh. The reason for not 5 stars is because the amount of egg that was on my plate was ALOT. I thought it was chicken, but most of it was egg. If you like egg, you'll love it. I also appreciated the fresh jalapeños and limes they give you on the plate. (I added the siracha on top) read more
