After a long night of losing your money in the casino, you can at least be comforted by the hot, deliciousness of authentic tasting Asian food. My most recent visit consisted of me losing all night on the slots, then deciding we were hungry on top of everything else, at 11pm. Luckily, Noodles is there! We stood in line for about 10 minutes, ordered at the register. Be sure to show your Pala player card even if you just got the card that day (like I did) and you'll get a discount if anywhere between 5% to 30%. I got a 5% discount (like $1 off, still better than nothing). We ordered the shrimp dumpling and BBQ pork Chinese noodles and the steamed Sui Mai. The goal was about $23 or so. We took a seat inside where it's nice and quiet (to avoid the heavy smoke and noise out in the casino) and our food came out in a huge plastic bowl and plate just like how they do at Chinese restaurants I frequent. The portions are large (great for 2 people) and very delicious. Both dishes tasted just like home and my childhood. I'm also 100% Chinese so at least I can speak with certainty as to the authenticity. We'll definitely be back, not so much for the gambling, but maybe just for the food! read more

Noodles - Yum! - Chinese Near Me - Pala, California

All of the food is good here but the fried rice RULES. The portions are huge, enough for 2 to share. The Udon was a little on the bland side, but you can spice it up with rooster sauce. This is probably one of the best places to eat in Pala. The service was fairly fast but the long lines can be discouraging. I saw from 20-50 people in line at all times so be prepared to wait. read more

See all

Of course it's going to take a long time ordering and receiving food! It's the best in the food court! I drive half an hour to order their beef teriyaki. My favorite item on the menu along with other delicious entrees. I love eating here! read more

Noodles - Wonton soup! Love it!! - Chinese Near Me - Pala, California

Gambling the night away could work out anyones appetite, but hopefully you have some money to spare. Noodles is a bit hidden in the back, next to the Deli of Pala Casino. Once you're back there it's not hard to spot the line that edges its way out of this small restaurant, as the patrons can easily be spotted sitting at tables outside the restaurant eating several types of noodles. Or, you can easily follow the busboy that takes their plate back to the restaurant. If you're feeling like japanese - they have it. how about some chinese - yup, it's there too. maybe a little bit of vietnamese - definitely on the menu. or who knows, your feeling like thai - it's there. Every flavor to satisfy your ever expanding thirst for noddles, haha. We ordered the following: Pala Fried Rice - Served with Chinese sausage, chicken, bbq pork and shrimp. What i loved about it was even the next day it was still good. Beef Bulgogi - Marinated bbq Korean beef served on a bed of bean sprouts. This was by far my favorite of the dishes. Served with white rice, the flavor of the beef completely exploded in my mouth. I couldn't wait to have it the next day. Pad Thai - Rice stick noodles with chicken, shrimp, eggs, bean sprouts, mushroom and bamboo shoots. It's not my favorite of the noodles, but it was quite flavorful. I didn't have that much, but my dad said it wasn't bad. The service wasn't bad either. Since the waters and waitresses were delivering food so often, it was quite easy asking for assistance in refills, bagging, etc. read more

Noodles - Cute interior - Chinese Near Me - Pala, California

Noodles is a pretty good restaurant. They have great Chinese food and menus in many different languages. Their portions are pretty big so I usually share family style. I would recommend sharing if I were you unless you were ordering just one thing. Overall, Noodles is a pretty good restaurant in the Pala Casino and has a lot of great food. read more

I went here last night with some family. Usually I'm not too stoked on getting some food at a casino but since my relatives wanted to get some asian cuisine, I figured why not go. The place is decorated pretty nicely, as does any restaurant is at a casino. The place isn't too overly decorated but at least the overall consensus is that it's clean. We ordered a bunch of food. I'll start off with the Pad Thai. It's pretty good. It's a bit spicy but I tend to like Pad Thai like that. I think it's a great mix of vegetables and noodles. We also go the fried rice plates. These go great with some of the entries. We ordered the orange chicken which was just ok. I'd actually say that the Panda Express version is a bit better. The beef broccoli plate is very tasty. It's got a good mix of vegetables with the meat. I also had some wonton soup. YUM! Add a little bit of sriracha sauce and it's a wrap! Overall, I'm a fan. We ordered so much food that I went into a food coma but with no complaints. I topped it off with a Sapporo and went home a happy camper. (minus the $40 I lost at Craps!) read more

Noodles - Chinese Near Me - Pala, California

The best Chinese food in a casino. It's pretty authentic. Flavors are dead on. Why not a 5 star you may ask? Well, sometimes the line gets ridiculously long and people take forever ordering. At times there is absolutely no seating inside because it's just too crowded. But if you do go during off hours it shouldn't be too bad. My favorite dishes are: Chinese fried rice with Chinese sausage, shrimp egg roles and Salt and pepper shrimp. Prices are a little on the high side for Chinese food but we'll worth it. read more

Noodles - Inside noodles. - Chinese Near Me - Pala, California

Four of us ate here yesterday. All four thought food was very good. Not great. We will eat there again next time we are here. Portions are huge. Left overs we're enough for us all to have dinner that night in our RV. They need to work on moving line faster during peak times. Process of ordering at cash register and paying at same time slow. Orders were delivered to table in a reasonable time considering busy Sunday lunch time read more

To say it was Terrible service, and worse food would be an understatement. By the conduct of the personnel it was obvious our patronage was not appreciated. Food was slammed on the table, and then we were sneered at as if we were a nuisance. It was obvious that my wife and I were bugs to the woman who brought our meal. The dumplings were as hard as a rock, as was the Orange Chicken. If both our meals were $2.00 it would have been way to much!! Would not ever return. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere. Pala needs to re consider this establishments on going association with them. I may not even return to their Casino as a result. read more

Pretty yummy! Got the beef bulgogi! Big portion! Tastes great without adding anything! read more

Noodles - Delicious! Beef bulgogi. - Chinese Near Me - Pala, California

We went for a drive around Pala and did a yelp search for local Chinese places, that's how we found this place. Do Not eat at this place here are the reasons why. We had 3 dishes all had hardly any spices. I had the Mongolian beef, it was beef that's for sure, but had 0 taste. Another person got the soup, the broth tasted like water and the food again was hardly spiced. Another dish, I did not even ask about, because my friend refused to eat it after the first bite. If you like plastic forks, knives and spoon, here is the place to come. We found them to be top quality, but was expecting silver ware due to the high prices. read more

Long lines but good food, Ordered dim sum and some seafood delight, special fried rice and etc..good food good casino. read more

Noodles - Pala fried rice, Seafood delight, siomai - Chinese Near Me - Pala, California

I think like most asian restaurants once you find the entrees that you love you always gravitate back to them. Otherwise known as staple dishes. We love love getting the crispy fried shrimp appetizer, bulgogi, and orange chicken I swear by these 3 items it will make you come back time and time. Other items to try is the pala combo fried and their soups. What I didn't like is the pad thai its not traditional and flavor is off. read more

Worst pad thai I have ever tasted. The noodles were undercooked and the proteins overcooked. The tamarind flavor was extremely sour. Waitress was friendly. read more

Pre COVID-19, this was our go to place. Great Asian flavors and noodles. I just went back there the first time again today and I will say there are several big changes that will make me not come to this place until it gets corrected. 1. There is no take outs unless you have a room in the hotel. What are these people thinking? 2. Food is less savory. I should know, I ate at that place 2-3 times a week before COVID. There is some difference in the way it is prepared which is probably more about reducing cost. 3. Smaller portions higher prices. The portions are much smaller and if you have eaten there before the pandemic, you know how large their servings used to be. The fried sea food udon is delivered on a big family dinner plate. Now it is a much smaller plate and portion. That goes with their soups too. But the price is up, anywhere between a dollar to two more from the previous pricing. 4. Finally, they have only small take out boxes for leftovers. My soup was in this cardboard like bowl and they gave me a plastic plate as a cover so I can take it with me. This is the most ridiculous service I've ever encountered from a restaurant. Whether this is a restaurant or casino/resort policy, it is broken and it's no longer a place I would visit again. read more

Decided to try Noodles after seeing the wait at the buffet and cafe. Overall great selection of food from Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese and Korean recipes. Ordered the BBQ rib appetizer (comes with 3 large full size spare ribs), Pad Thai and Sweet and Sour Chicken. BBQ ribs were juicy and sticky from the sauce. Pad Thai was delicious and tasty. Sweet and Sour Chicken was all batter and barely and contained chicken, but the sauce was tasteful. Portions were large and we had plenty of leftover food for later. Not ad and will return. read more

Meh, nothing too special here but they're open late. I'd rather head to the Cafe next time. Portions are huge and items are decently priced. Their orange chicken comes out hot and crispy so I play it safe with that. I tried a Chinese flat noodle dish (can't remember the name) and it was sooo bland I threw it away, which never happens. read more

Honestly, better than I expected! We were pleasantly surprised that the food was pretty good and authentic. The portions are also really large! They have some large photos of the dishes as your enter. They also provide menus in English, Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese. Lots of different noodle offerings from all the Asian cuisines. The hostesses taking your order in front may not be Asian but all the cooks and chefs in the back are Asian, that's always a good sign. If you're playing at Pala, this is a good place to take a break and get a bite to eat. You won't be disappointed! I'll be back the next time I'm here. read more

Bruhhhhhh why the stars for this place only 3!!?? Pala Fried Rice is so bomb! Like I don't think I've had anything better.

Went with my mom and we ordered: -Pad See Ew (shrimp) -Shrimp Sui Mai -Japanese Ramen The pad see ew was super dry and there was barely any flavor. I had to put heaps of hot sauce on it to even tolerate it. Japanese ramen did not taste like Japanese ramen. I didn't try the shrimp sui mai. Food quality was a 4/10. Won't be going back. read more

I stood in line for 30 minutes to order a to go order. I ordered the Pad see ew and it had NO flavor and the noodles were dry and so was the chicken. I am glad a substituted vegetables instead of bean sprouts, because the vegetables were the only part of this dish that tasted good. I wouldn't recommend this place. Go next store and have the street tacos or the chicken nachos, you will be glad you did! read more

We went here because the line to choices was ridiculously long. There was some type of problem with the register or person placing the order because it took them 15 minutes to take our order in line. I got the pad Thai which was very hot and did not have much flavor. My wife got the fried rice combo which was rather bland. read more

Noodles (an Asian noodle bar) is a nice option in Pala's "food court" and far more appealing than waiting in that horrendous line for the buffet. Choice is paramount. They serve - Thai, Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese-style noodles. A cornucopia of noodle-carb-overload. That said, usually, I'm wary of pan-Asian cuisine because it's like a bad case of kitchen ADD and a bit of an identity crisis. Isn't a good general rule of thumb is do a few good things well? Comparably, is there a restaurant out there that offers pan-European cuisine as food for thought? It's hard to justify a $12 bowl of pho to me. Granted, I've never tried it, but if it is THAT good, why pay so much when I can be patient for another 1/2 hour or so and drive to any other pho place and spend less than half that amount (~$5) elsewhere. Nope. Didn't get this. I ordered stir-fried vegetables with shrimp over crispy noodles. While the stir-fry and shrimp was solid, my crispy noodles were misplaced. Where was the crunch? Prolly lost with my socks in the dryer or the few Andrew Jacksons at the Three Card Poker table. I also ordered a trio of loosely wrapped shrimp spring rolls for $6. Ok. Dad's beef teriyaki and mom's combination fried rice. Good. So, Dad wanted to hang out and eat here for Father's Day. Mom and I were cool with that. I've eaten here a few times before and overall, I'm ok with Noodles. Food isn't spectacular, but I do come back, so there's something to be said there. It's kinda cool that they have menus in four languages - Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese, and English. As a tip, go to the deli next door and order soda if you want a drink. It'll save you some time. I was kinda bummed after ordering that I saw that they offered new menu items - Korean. Now that's something, I don't get a taste of everyday. Next time, here - or just get the real stuff. HA read more

Pretty bad Chinese food. Not recommended. Similar to Panda Express but with triple the prices. Tasted very Americanized and crappy read more

Everyone who follows me on Yelp knows that my favorite food in the world is Miso Ramen, and I am a fan of all types of Ramen such as: Tonkotsu, and Shoyu. The menu just says "RAMEN". It doesn't tell what kind it is. I went up to the counter to ask the woman what type of Ramen it is. Was it Miso? Tonkatsu? Shio? Shoyu? And she just replies: "Chickun Sooooouuuuuppppp." I didn't know how to interpret that. I am aware that a lot of places make the broth of their Shoyu Ramen with chicken bones, so I went ahead and ordered it. It was a joke. You know that instant ramen that you buy at any supermarket? That is what they sell here. They gave me that "Maruchan/Nissin Chicken Flavor Ramen" that broke ass college kids eat when living at dorms. I was really pissed because they didn't charge me 25cents... They f*cking charged me $11! Do you know what they use for Charsiu here? They use that sweet and sour pork that you find at all-you-can-eat chinese food buffets. Do you know what they use for their Naruto? They use a stick of imitation crab meat! (Note for all you Inland Empire, OC, and North San Diego people who think Ramen is an instant snack that you add hot water to) Real Ramen is made by boiling bones for over 20 hours. The noodles are made fresh everyday. It usually comes with slices of bamboo, charsiu, and a decorative fish cake(Naruto). Guess what else...they use Chow Mein noodles for their Pad Thai. What pisses me off a lot is reading the reviews of some nationalistic-Asian yelpers who leave insulting comments for restaurants that are owned by a type of Asian that they dislike. You see it all the time. The best example would be when a guy writes something like: "This place is a Japanese restaurant but they got those damn Koreans and Chinese working here! Don't eat here". ... Look familiar? Now...the thing about "Noodles" is that it is an Asian restaurant which is obviously owned by a white person. I challenge all of you nationalistic-Asian yelpers to eat here one time. After you eat here, you will never complain about another Asian owned restaurant ever again. read more

Just finished eating here with my bro and his gf...can't believe we drove 2 hrs away from good OC food to this....I'm not a picky eater and usually anything will taste good especially when im hungry. I ordered the shrimp wonton and bbq pork noodles and my bro/his gf ordered udon soup...not tasty at all. I know this sounds harsh but I just want to throw up looking at the food. Maybe my appetite is a bit low too. Anyways, I wouldn't recommend this place. Not worth the wait! read more

Noodles - Chinese Near Me - Pala, California

Pre Covid I loved this place. It's totally changed since. Food is average now for sure and not worth it.

The portions are huge!!!!!! 1 dish easily serves 2 people. The food was pretty authentic, much better than a Panda Express or Chinese buffet in a mall. Pad Thai- Very impressed, not the best I've had but very close to great Thai food. The noodles were thin angel hair sized not the flat noodles you would expect in Pad Thai but the flavor was great. Huge portion! Pad See Ew- This is my favorite Thai noodle dish but I was not impressed with their version. Pad See Ew usually has a savory taste to it....a mix of sweet and salty but this was just plain and boring. I had to add soy sauce to it, then I abandoned it for my kids Pad Thai. Huge portion! Spicy Tom Yum soup- Very good Tom Yum!!! This soup was very authentic! I would certainly order this again! It's not a bowl of soup, it's a sink full of soup....HUGE portion! Salted Shrimp- Wok fried whole shrimp with a wonderful sweet and spicy sauce. The only problem with this dish is that once you peel all the shells off the shrimp there's no sauce left on the shrimp. The sauce does not soak through the shell into the shrimp. So after peeling the shrimp you are left with a pile of bland shrimp and a pile of shells with all the great sauce on it. I've never really understood the thinking behind wok frying whole shrimp in Asian cuisine .....it's such a waste....I want flavor ON the shrimp and the last thing I'm going to do is lick the sauce off the shells. They should de-head the shrimp before frying so the sauce can get into the shell. So if you like shrimp this way you will love the sauce on the shells! I would certainly return to Noodles. The food was not perfect, but for a casino restaurant not in Vegas, I was impressed and happy. read more

This place is legit. It's no china town, but it's pretty damn good! The hardest part is making a decision since they have so many choices. Ate here twice during the weekend just to try something else on the menu. read more

Noodles - Crispy chow mein - Chinese Near Me - Pala, California

The bf and i usually eat here every time we hit up this casino. I must say that the food here is pretty expensive when you know that you can get it for about half the price somewhere else but the portions are pretty big, so we usually share. They also have a pretty extensive Asian menu for this place, being in a casino and all. So far i've had the Pad Thai, Tom Yum, and the Congee. The Pad Thai is pretty good considering that it's coming from a casino. The Tom Yum is pretty tasty and it's better than what I had expected. The Congee was surprisingly good and the serving was huge. I was expecting a smaller portion since it's probably one of the cheaper items on the menu but that thing was super big and tasty, definitely the bang for your buck if you like rice porridge. I know i'll be coming back and when I do i'll be ordering a heffer size bowl of Congee :] read more

Noodles were very bland and both meals had no true standout flavor...no comparison to the noodles in vegas we ate at. Service was horrible, order food in line then sit down...fresh juice on menu consists of bottles of naked juice. Won't be coming back to this one. read more

My husband and I visited the Pala casino and we wanted to sit outside because of COVID, but this restaurant only offered to-go for hotel guests. Seemed strange they didn't want to open up revenue for to-go service. I had to order dine in, then ask for a box when they brought the food, to then pour the food into the box just to take it to go. This was super inconvenient and just didn't seem to make sense. The food is not bad, but not good enough to convince for more than 1 star. Strange way to run a business read more

YUMMY!!! Total ASIAN deliciousness! I had beef teriyaki which was so tender and flavorful. I also tasted the pad thai and it had great flavor just maybe I would ask for a little more sauce. I wish I would have gotten a soup because they serve them in these HUGE bowls ! I think I am going back just for the shrimp wonton in the winter !! Diet coke establishment ! read more

Over charged prices for low quality not 100% authentic Asian food. I ordered the Pad Thai and Combo Pho ... The Pad Thai wasn't even made with the usual Flat Noodles that is Pad Thai and the Phone also wasn't the usual Vermicelli Noodles. Both the Pad Thai and the Pho were made using Somen Noodle which are very thin and light. Along with my husbands order of the Combo fried rice the total was close to $50 and I have to say NOT worth the cost being they're cheating and cheap on the type of Noodle used and nothing was all that tasty. The Pad Thai didn't taste like Pad Thai and the Pho broth was overly salty even with lime squeeze. I normally don't even add lime but this one still lacked flavor. Just like Noodles in a ocean salt water broth. Won't eat here again ! (T^T) read more

Very huge portions definitely a sharing place. I'd recommend getting different dishes and sharing everything. I shared the pad thai, curry, and egg rolls all were good. The "silky" sake was refreshingly nice. read more

Noodles - Chinese Near Me - Pala, California

I'm pissed about my poker session at Pala, but the food at Noodles made up for it. The line looks short but it doesn't move very fast, you'll be waiting a good 20-30 minutes as they have 1 cashier getting the drinks and ringing up the customers. The 4 of us ordered the following: Chicken Fried Rice Curry Chicken Noodle Soup Cantonese Crispy Fried Noodles w/beef Shrimp Tom Yum Soup Shumai Everything tasted really good, just a little under seasoned. Soy sauce & sriracha made it all better. My favorite was the shumai, even though it wasn't piping hot, it was still really good with the sweet soy sauce and hot sriracha, I could have popped about 10 of those babies myself, yum. I have to warn you these portions are huge, that's why the price tag is so high, everything runs around $10 but you can feed 2-3 people per order. I'll be back for the food, but not for poker, too many idiots calling to put a bad beat on people, not cool. read more

Well, I have to say they've got the right name because you get practically all noodles in every dish. Anyone who knows about stretching your food $$ knows you can do it with lots of carb-filled noodles, and they do that here yet still charge a lot. The amount of vegetables you get is minimal and it's typically very few Asian veggies, and a lot of carrots and green onions (in every dish). A good Asian restaurant would have a nice amount of mushrooms, water chestnuts, maybe bamboo shoots, and bean sprouts (they have none). The meat is something like processed frozen stuff they just heat up and toss in. If you order a shrimp dish, expect as many shrimp as you can count on one hand. Appetizers are way too pricey, and are small amounts, and their pork buns are a lot smaller now, with a teaspoon of some kind of processed meat inside. Not happy with this place anymore. They used to be decent. read more

NOODLES: Am a regular..can't pass up eating at Noodles at least once a week. The buffet is fabulous, but this place has the best fried rice any where. Like the BBQ..but plain fried rice to die for Be prepared to wait a really long time, there is always only one person taking orders, and very slow at that. Take a book to read while you are in line.. read more

So disappointed! We've made special trips to Pala just to eat at Noodles! Apparently they changed cooks, and it was horrible! Prices are not cheap and was given plastic spoons and forks. Ordered a large bowl of soup for 2 and was given 2 small plastic spoons. How can you scoop soup into smaller bowls with a tablespoon size spoon? We asked the server for a ladle and was told "I'll try & find one", which she did. My husband ordered orange chicken, which was very different from what he's had many times there. It was tasteless, rubbery and hard to chew? We talked to the manager and they did bring my husband a new batch but unfortunately, it tasted the same. The manager did inform us that they have a new cook. Well....they need to get the old cook back! We'll not eat there again! Judy read more
