Came here for a quick lunch to go and I ordered the beef noodle soup for my dad and the saozi noodles for myself. My dad loved the beef noodle soup which is saying a lot cause beef noodle soup is one of his all time favorite dish to eat and he makes it all the time too. He said this one was one of his favorites and he loved the noodles. He said it was thin and bouncy and held a ton of flavor. The saozi noodles I got were also really good! Extremely flavorful and the noodles had an amazing bounce to them. I'll definitely be back to try new items. I also got the pumpkin cake and that was delicious too. A bit oily since it's fried but yummy. read more

After passing by this place many times, I finally decided to give it a try -- and unfortunately, I was very disappointed. With so many restaurant choices around, I really regret choosing this one. There was absolutely no greeting or explanation when I walked in. I assumed I had to order by scanning the QR code, but the cell reception inside was poor, so I spent quite a while trying unsuccessfully to place my order. It wasn't until I saw another customer walk up to the counter and speak to a staff member that I realized I could order there, so I got in line and did the same. The restaurant itself is very small, and you basically find your own seat. Water, napkins, and disposable utensils are all self-service, and after eating, you're expected to place your dishes at a window on the side. The front door was left slightly open -- it seemed like it might be broken -- and there were flies flying around inside. That was very unappetizing and made the whole dining experience uncomfortable. Since this was my first time here and I hadn't read any reviews beforehand, I ordered one of my favorite types of noodles. Unfortunately, it was terrible. It was overwhelmingly salty with no depth of flavor at all. The best way I can describe it is noodles tossed in dark soy sauce -- just salty and one-dimensional. From the environment to the service to the food, the entire experience really turned me off. There are so many restaurants to choose from, including plenty serving similar food, that I honestly don't think I'd be willing to come back and try anything else here. read more

This place is located on the Promenade side of Santa Anita Mall with many other Asian eateries. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has a very casual setting with limited seating inside and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You order at the counter and they call out your order number when it's ready. Tipping is not needed and it's not even an option when you pay for your order. Popcorn Chicken was excellent and portion was very generous for under $10. My wife described it as more like a cross between chicken karaage and popcorn chicken. It had good amount of seasoning without being spicy or overpowering, and tasted fresh. Beef Noodle Soup had good broth without any MSG attack. This dish can be upgraded to spicy soup if desired. You also have the option of going with flat rice noodle, round rice noodle, or ramen noodle. read more

Been wanting to try this spot. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or eugh. I got their pork rou jia muo, saozi noodles, and beef noodle soup to try. The pork rou jia muo had a fluffy pan fried bun that reminded me of the bing my grandma makes and was filled with savory tender umami pork. The sao zi noodles had savory meat, bright cilantro, crunchy bean sprouts, tofu, soft potato bits, and qq noodles. The beef noodle soup was really comforting and had a savory flavorful broth, tender juicy beef, crunchy boy choy, and soft noodles. Tastes authentic and yummy, Portions are massive, and prices are fare, this place is pretty good. Pork Chinese burger $6.25 Saozi noodles $15.75 Beef noodle soup $16.25 read more

Qin West Noodle - Instagram/YouTube/TikTok/Yelp/Google Maps: @AC9MOO - Chinese Near Me - Arcadia, California

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a quick and casual Chinese restaurant that's quite cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You order at the front cashier and they'll call your number to pick up. Rice isn't available, but you could go next door at Hodori to order steam rice for takeout. I tried the beef noodle soup, popcorn chicken, and fried chicken cutlet. You can between wide or thin noodles for the soup. I thought the broth was savory, a little salty, with tons of braised beef chunks and noodles. For the price you're paying, the bowl had so much food. I couldn't finish it. Both the chicken cutlet and popcorn chicken were tasty. Crunchy on the outside and tender inside. I would definitely go back and try a different type of noodle soup. Compared to the prices of restaurants nearby, this place was pretty reasonable. If you're looking for something quick, come try this eatery. read more

Came in here for lunch during the weekend. My husband and I got the beef noodle soup and dumplings mostly for our toddler. The portion size was pretty great! We were able to feed our kid and share the beef noodle soup together. (We weren't that hungry.) for $25 for the soup and the dumplings wasnt bad. We thought the portion was pretty fair and the amount of noodle and beef were great. The soup felt a little light so we added vinegar. We prefer less salty though so didn't mind. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's indoor and outdoor seating. Self serve water (no ice). They had high chairs for kids.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, easy place to get a quick meal. read more

Qin West Noodle - Beef Noodle Soup 牛腩面 and Zhajiang Noodle 炸酱面 - Chinese Near Me - Arcadia, California

Qin West Noodle is located in the promenade at The Shops at Arcadia. You can find Qin West Noodle across from 3 Cats and also from Cha Redefine. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Qin West Noodle also has some outdoor seating, in which you can dine with you dog, like my husband and I did this past Sunday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Because The Shops at Arcadia are currently running a special promotion called Dine & Discover (where participating eateries and tea shops are providing discounts and/ or special items with your purchase), we ended up decided to come here for lunch. We arrived a little before 1 pm. My husband waited for a table outside while I went inside to order the following: Guilin Soup, $14.95 prior to tax- I ordered this for my husband to be mild in terms of spicy-ness. My husband didn't think it was spicy at all but he has been trying to consume less spicy foods. He liked the soup and thought it was flavorful. I didn't get to try any. He thought the meat was good but wished there was more. Zhajiang Noodle, $13.35 prior to tax- I didn't want a soup dish and went for a dry style noodle dish instead. I really liked this dish. It was very saucy with pork and flavors of tomato. I also really liked the sliced cucumbers. The noodles itself was really good and had a nice chew to it. The portion size of this dish was big enough for 2-3 people to share. --------------------------------- (Total= $20.64 after Dine & Discover Promotion of $5 off each dish above). Please note that the above total also included a 2.3% transaction fee. This is where I am rather disappointed and annoyed with my dining experience. I paid cash purposely to avoid the transaction fee but yet I was still charged. I did not realize this until way later, after I had already paid and ate my meal. It even says I paid cash on the receipt too... So if you do pay cash, you want to make sure you check that you are not charged the credit card fee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is some limited seating inside but you may also be able to find a table in the Eat Alley or just around the promenade.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Utensils, napkins, water, etc are all self serve. After you pay, you are given a number and you have to wait for your order (whether you ordered to go or for dine in. You can also ask for a plastic lid if you want to take your food home if you dined in). read more

3.5/5 Zhajiang Noodles $14 a bit too salty. Has leftover meat, which meant great portion, but part of the reason was saltiness. Overall Qin West has some good deals here and there but the taste is rough around the edges ... you will be able to find a better of version of what they offer elsewhere. They are a no tips place so that can be refreshing. FYI extra charge for using credit card. read more

Not sure if this is a hot take, but I genuinely enjoyed my visit here. I thought all the food tasted fresh, and all the items had a very fair price point. It's really hard to find noodles without a soup broth, so having noodles with vegetables on their own made me happy. The service was also super quick. The person taking our order helped my dad navigate all the non-spicy items on their menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is located within the Santa Anita mall, and it was very clean inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely go back again! read more

Qin West Noodle - Assortment of dishes - Chinese Near Me - Arcadia, California

Came here for the Dine & Discover promotion so they had $5 off their Beef Noodle soup which ended up being a great deal! At first the worker there didnt know how to apply the discount, but after the manager stepped in and was able to give us the deal. Service was quick, food was ready in about 5 minutes after ordering. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Casual dining spot with indoor seating. Can be a little cleanlier.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Portion was huge, came with tons of beef & noodle, free side of chili cucumbers, and a pink lemonade.Noodle texture had a nice bounce, left feeling very full and I had leftovers that I ate for my next meal. (4/5) Definitely worth it during the promotion and I believe I ended up paying ~$12 for the whole meal, which is so affordable in this economy. I was satisfied with this meal though standard (3.5/5) if there was no promo going around. read more

For a noodle spot, I thought the food here was okay. I saw that they were advertising summer items only available during the summer so decided to give those a try. Chicken Cold Noodles - I thought this was pretty tasty but it also was very simple. It comes with chicken breasts and basically its cold noodles with chili and a few other ingredients. It's refreshing and overall I liked it. (4/5) Fried Chicken - This was new and the flavors were good but I also felt it was a tad lackluster. The chicken wasn't as juicy as I thought and because it comes with the whole thigh there are a lot of bones to go through. It's not something I'd get again personally. (2.5/5) Overall this spot is okay but it's not something I would crave. We had to wait about 20 minutes to get our food as well which was a lot longer than I expected. read more

Came by here for dinner with the family and we ordered a couple dry noodles, and couple soup based noodles. Beef Noodle Soup Guilin Soup Dry Mix Noodle Chicken Cold Noodle Popcorn Chicken The noodle soups were pretty good, but the dry noodles were very salty for me personally. Popcorn chicken is good - but you can't really go wrong with fried chicken pieces. One thing to note is that you get extremely good value here. The portions are HUGE, they come in huge paper bowls. My teenaged boys are usually garbage disposals for food, but even they couldn't finish the noodles and we took everything home and enjoyed it again for lunch the next day. Don't expect nice decor here. There are a few tables inside and out, but there are bags of containers and lids throughout the dining area - apparently the dining area doubles as storage. You can help yourself to ice and weird tasting water from their old water machine by the cashier. read more

This review is just for the popcorn chicken! Came here on a Saturday afternoon during lunar new year weekend and order just the popcorn chicken, which came out pretty quickly, within 5 to 8 minutes. It tasted like it was just fried instead of it just sitting there. Super crispy, hot fresh and just the right amount of seasoning and heat. I was pretty surprised by the amount for 10 bucks. I would say this is a better deal than a lot of boba places, considering it also taste so good. If you're looking for a snack or popcorn chicken highly recommend coming here! read more

A solid place for a quick meal! The noodles were good quality and we left satisfied with leftovers. We ordered the seasonal summer cold noodle chicken dish and the beef noodle soup. The soup itself was well balanced and the beef was incredibly soft and melts in your mouth. One of their best sellers for a reason! The cold noodle was quite refreshing, but I thought the chicken was a bit salty. I couldn't get enough of the chili oil peanuts they add to the dish. They're super addicting! The service was nice and fast. The ambience is very casual with a few spots inside and outside. Great deal for the price and quality! Good for a meal break during your shopping trip. read more

Came to Qin West Noodle and left in a full-on food coma--in the best way possible! The Guilin Soup was incredibly satisfying--loaded with tender beef slices, bok choy, and a rich, savory broth topped with fragrant chili oil. It had just the right level of heat and depth, perfect for spice lovers. The Dry Mix Noodle was just as impressive--springy noodles tossed with beef, peanuts, pickled veggies, and chili, all topped with a perfectly marinated egg. Every bite had great texture and flavor. Don't sleep on the desserts either. The Fruit Jelly was light and refreshing with real fruit pieces like grapefruit and peach, while the Osmanthus Coconut Jelly was rich, creamy, and delicately floral with that classic osmanthus fragrance. Both were the perfect cool-down finish to the meal. The portion sizes are HUGE, so come hungry or ready to share. Can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu! read more

Small indoor and outdoor Chinese joint in a corner on the Promenade of the mall. How did I never try this place until recently all these years? I feel like I jipped myself. The food is so good. I always see a lot of people eating there but didn't try until now. Food served in to-go containers already that are cute, made of sturdy paper bowls that don't leak through even to the next day. Every dish on the menu has been delicious with my favorite being the Zhajiang noodles. Service is decently fast. Self service ice, water, utensils and condiments. There are trash cans to throw your trash away. They also don't ask for tip, even when you pay by card. Pros: -Rewards program to accumulate points for dollars off your next meal -lunch special on weekdays come with free chili oil cucumber and pink lemonade -food is good, plentiful and fairly priced -self service to-go containers, utensils, napkins, soy sauce, vinegar -cashier and person who packs the food are nice Cons: -no restrooms inside but there is a community promenade restroom about 15feet away read more

A pretty average noodle place I think. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's pretty dirty with a lot of flies and the workers are swatting them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's kinda funny. If this place was HELLA good, then I wouldn't mind, but it was just a little average. Flavors were pretty mainland China, vinegar served on the side... flavor profile is more nuts, chili, vinegar... that type of flavor profile. I didn't mind my noodles, but I wouldn't come back. read more

Small place. Simple menu. The food was very good. I was the first to order. I was asked what I wanted, and I placed my order. Then our group placed their order. Everyone's food arrived, except mine. Everyone was partially through their meal. I asked what happened. I was told my order didn't get placed. I then placed, and paid for my order. I was told it would be ready quickly. I was reminded by our group that we have a movie to get to at the AMC and we had to go. I asked for a refund and to cancel the order. I was told the order has been started and they cannot do that. I told them I was not happy with that and explained why, but it did not sway their decision. Hence this review. They made a mistake. They had an opportunity to correct it. They were more concerned about an order placed than the satisfaction of their customer. A big mistake in my opinion. I'm a business owner. That's not how I run my business. Satisfaction is guaranteed. The customer is always right. Hopefully this review will cause them to rethink their policy. I would return to this business and bring friends. I don't think I will now, simply because I am suspicious of their order of priorities. read more

Drove all the way from the Valley for some zhajiang noodles...they were out. Ok, fine. Tried to get the golden noodles...also sold out. what the hell? Asked him what he recommends, and man... big mistake. Dry noodles were dry in all the wrong ways. Got beef tendon and some other stuff too--none of it hit. Honestly, I should've just walked out the moment they didn't have what I came for. Ended up going Din Tai Fung down the hall--blessing in disguise. read more

We went to try out this GUI Lin noodles place for their lunch special. It was a very good deal! $15 ish for a pretty big bowl of dry noodles and a side of cucumber cold dish and a cup of lemonade. The portion of the dry noodles are very generous and good portion of thick cut beef. The beef tasted a bit hard for me but it's still good enough overall for me to want to come back again because it's a great deal. The cucumbers were good but it's soaked in mild chili oil. I just hope it's not so oily. The minus one star is because the free lemonade is really not in sync with this type of food. It honestly goes with green tea or something more Asian. Lemonade just really turned me off and it's definitely too sweet. I know it's a set lunch but I just think it should be more thoughtful or even if it's $16 instead to upgrade to a simple unsweetened tea will be match this type of food much better. Service is simple we just order at the counter. I appreciate that no tips are needed. Because nowadays every restaurants asks for tips even if's just a take out. Not that they don't deserve it but it just seems to become too aggressive and mandatory when supposedly tips are given when we think the service is good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is simple and casual. I sat right by the windows which it's pretty nice to look outside while eating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would come back and hopefully they would change the drink one day! read more

My friend and I opted for their Beef Noodle Soup and Dry Saozi lunch specials, which is notated as a L on the menu. It includes a side of spicy cold cucumbers and lemonade. All the food had great flavor and texture. With the price of around $15, it is certainly a very good deal around Arcadia.

I used to really like this place for authentic Chinese food at the mall. My last visit was extremely disappointing. I ordered the dry hspicy mixed noodles and the sauce was way too much compared to the portion of noodles. Everything was so salty. The noodles themselves were overcooked as well -disappointing. Hope it was just an off day. read more

This was my first visit to Qin West Noodle. They are located on the promenade area of the Santa Anita mall whatever it is called now. They're located near the CPK and the meet fresh. I was waiting for my boba order to be completed and wanted to see how long I to go order would take here since I was getting hungry. The waitress is really nice and told me it would take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes depending on the type of noodle I ordered. I went with the Liang Pi and the zhajiang noodles. I was able to customize the level of spicy for the Liang Pi but since my sister doesn't eat too spicy I asked if I could get an extra side of chili on the side. I thought the food was pretty tasty. I would definitely go a little bit spicier next time. I like how there's lots of noodle options here at the mall so this is another great option to choose from. read more

I have tried their liang pi, dry mix, and zhajiang noodles. I like the dry noodle options because the sauce/seasonings taste stronger and the crisp cucumber cuts through any spice.

Doing an update after several years. The food for a while now has been consistent in quality. Though the customer service is still kinda lacking.

The sesame balls aren't worth the price though. Too few for a high price read more

I came for the beef noodle soup with handmade noodles because my friend wanted to do a head to head. The one here won in terms of quality of noodle (decent q), clarity of broth (I hate broth that hasnt been strained so it has the fat floaty stuff), and the richness of the broth (umami, but not overly salted). I also liked that they have a lunch special which comes with a little side veg and drink! Of all the other beef noodle soups in this mall, I recommend this one! read more

Waited over 40 minutes for 2 noodles with just 3 other orders ahead of us.

This place was a pleasant surprise, especially being located on the promenade at the Santa Anita mall. Located across 3Catea and Meetfresh, this corner noodle shop looks to be owned by an Asian mom and pop. You order at the counter and then find a table either indoors or on the patio. He had a variety of noodle dishes to choose some, as well as sides and drinks. The drinks were more like desserts and had a lot of different ingredients in them, but we opted out this time. I got the Liang Pi which is a popular dry noodle dish that's suitable for the summertime. I'm used to LiangPi being made with a more jelly-like noodle ( Liang fen) but this one was thicker with a rice noodle like consistency. It wasn't as "melt in your mouth" as I would've liked. But I did enjoy the flavor of the seasoning once mixed, which was peanuts and garlicky. This comes without meat, but you can add beef shank for an additional fee. Pro tip: add some black vinegar in the liang pi. My husband got the golden beef soup noodle. This had a sour and spicy cabbage soup that is really good! The beef slices were also tender and thin. I really enjoyed this soup, but it is on the spicier side so because not to choke when slurping up the goodness! Overall I'm glad we gave this place a try and can definitely see us returning here again in the future! read more
