Food was oks, but the service needed to improve a lot. Please pay attention with customers orders.

Menu

​We visited here a couple of years ago and quite enjoyed our meal, so we decided to give it another visit on our drive home from San Diego. ​We ordered: 1. ​PHNOM PENH HOUSE SPECIAL (sliced pork, ground pork, stomach, liver & shrimp) 20. ​PORK RICE PORRIDGE HOUSE SPECIAL (three-layer pork, stomach, spleen, liver & blood) ​Side of Cha quai (breadsticks) ​For the noodles, you have the option to order them with small or big rice noodles, small or big egg noodles, or a mix of both. The egg noodle options has an extra $1 charge. You also have an option to order it dry or in the broth. We ordered the small rice noodles dry. The dry option comes with the broth on the side, along with a giant beef rib bone. The highlight for me here is the broth, as it is super tasty, and the beef rib was super tender. I prefer the dry noodles since you can add additional seasoning to them; my favorite is the chili oil, which was quite spicy. ​The rice porridge is different from the ones you get at dim sum. It is lighter, with the rice grains still pretty intact. Like with the noodle dish, I really liked the broth and it goes well with the house-made breadsticks. The pork liver was a bit too overcooked for my taste, though. ​Overall, the dishes are pretty solid. Will come back again.

#1. Phnom Penh Noodles (House Special) thin rice noodles and egg noodles. #10. Beef Stew. BOMB

This has been on my bookmark for so long! Pretty sure this place replaced the OG Guppies We were in the area and I was really craving some Asian noodles and this was the perfect spot We got 2 dishes and an appetizer and we were stufffed! I was not expecting those portions. Very worth it for the price. I got their #1 Phnom Penh Noodles in a large so I can have half and half noodles! I got their thin rice noodles with the thin egg noodles with the soup on the side. It just hitsssss. The large is hugeee and super flavorful. I had to actually Togo this home cause it was so big We also got their Beef stew also in a large and got half large and thin egg noods. Super flavorful and the large is large. We also had to Togo this home too! The appetizer we got was their chicken wings and it was so crispy!! Loved their sauce and pickled veggies it comes with. Ate that whole thing up! Overall very delicious and happy with their portions. Highly recommend if you're in the area and not wanting India food

Ordered the student noodles with beef, it was pretty decent, and the service was amazing, very attentive and nice. Loved the decor inside as well.

Garlic Shrimp Egg Noodle
Jeff I.

I was greeted immediately when I walked in. Wanted a table so I waited for the cleaning of a table that finished and was being cleaned up. Maybe 7minute wait. It is my first time here but saw yelp n just ordered what looked appetizing--Garlic Shrimp Egg Noodle (fried not noodle soup) The dish came with a soup on the side and the entree, which included 3 slices of pineapple probably to wash away the garlic after eating. The noodles were clumps together and tasted a bit raw/flour-y. That wasn't too bad, but would've liked it without that taste. The shrimp tasted ok...there were a good portion. The garlic...honestly this was something I didnt like as i knew this flavor...its either raw garlic that is passed due and has those clear parts and a bit sour or those preserved garlic in citeic acid, but tasted as if it were left out. Like a wet dish rag smell. I know this as i've used large bag of garlic from Costco that became this as I didnt use by the best buy or that it had fridge burns that cause the bruising and when I used it my dishes, it tasted lik this. This flavor ruined the dish and I didnt eat it all and took home thinking I can pick out the garlic pieces and just eat the rest. This took off 2 stars. Service was ok, altho I only ordered, food came, and asked for check, so didnt need much service. I added a Khrak Cambodian iced coffee at the end to take home... this was ok too. Just Cambo version of a Vietnamese Coffee. This here was a little darker coffee flavor I felt and less sugar (which is good for me). Im not sure I'll come back, not because of the food or rating, but because there are plenty of places to go for lunch and chose this place for today. Thank you.

Food/Drinks: The Shack Wings were well cooked and seasoned (not dry or overly salty/garlicky, which can easily be the case). The pickled vegetables were a nice accompaniment, to refresh the palate between wings. The Seafood Noodles had a nice flavor to the broth; however, I ordered it with egg noodles, which I would have preferred to be a bit more al dente. Lastly, the Cambo Khrack Iced Coffee was pretty decent--the coffee taste definitely came through and wasn't diluted. Service: No complaints! Immediately attended to, upon walking through the doors. A few waiters constantly checked in on us, and one had an infectious energy. Also, appreciate the accommodation for our vegetarian friend, who had Tofu Fried Rice. Ambiance: Casual, industrial. Parking: Ample parking. Located in a plaza.

This Cambodian restaurant specializes in a variety of delicious noodle dishes. We ordered the Beef Stick Rice and the Loat Cha (stir-fried rice drop noodles with beef, bean sprouts, and eggs). The loat cha had great flavor, and the beef was tender. We also tried the Awesome Peach Tea, which was packed with real peach flavor. The restaurant has a great atmosphere with a spacious outdoor seating area. the customer service was friendly and attentive. Definitely a great spot if you're craving authentic Cambodian comfort food!

Chas S.

The spiffier sibling to one of those OG Long Beach Cambodian restaurants. Nice to have this spot in Cerritos. Service is super friendly and the food comes out quickly even when the restaurant is full. We probably wouldn't order the BBQ beef sticks again but wow the lort cha was so tasty as was the mixed rice dish which was as delicious as it was pretty. We enjoyed our meal. It is a family spot and pretty humble inside. I do wish that our table wasn't sticky. The doors and windows could also use a good scrub down sometime too tbh.

Phnom Penh noodles with soup on the side
Rebecca T.

I'd never had Cambodian food before, so I was keen on giving it a go while in the area. Ordered a decent spread of food to share, includong Phnom Penh noodles (dry, soup on the side), Student Noodles, egg rolls, and Camboignets (cha kwai, but sweet). Also got a Cambodian fried rice to go. The Phnom Penh noodles and Student Noodles were tasty, huge portions and full of garlic flavor. The broth came on the side with huge hunks of meat, and was very rich and comforting. The egg rolls were nice and crispy, but just your standard egg roll. The Camboignets were a delight, nice and doughy, and similar to a French beignet. Had the Cambodian fried rice the day after, and it was decent, if a bit bland. It took a long time (30+ min) to be seated, but service was really nice once we sat down and the food came really quickly. I would definitely come early in the day and/or put yourself on the waitlist in advance, but overall, a solid introduction to Cambodian cuisine!

Cambodian Fried Rice with Chinese Sausage Bai-Mon Bowl
Jonnie N.

Back at RiceString Noodle Shack and this time I switched it up for the rice dishes--and wow. The Cambodian Fried Rice came out glossy but not greasy, perfectly seasoned with that smoky wok hei aroma that hits right away. The Chinese sausage added just the right touch of sweetness and richness, giving each bite extra depth without overpowering the dish. It's comforting, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. I also tried the Bai-Mon bowl. I initially thought it would be more salad-forward, but it's actually a hearty bowl layered with proteins and fresh greens over rice cooked in chicken broth. That broth-infused rice makes all the difference--fragrant, savory, and balanced. It's a full, well-rounded meal that leaves you happy but not heavy. The only small downside? I arrived a bit late for lunch, so the in-house soup was out of pork bones. Still tasty, just missing that extra depth. Even so, it's an easy 5 stars. The food stays consistent, comforting, and crave-worthy--and the service remains just as attentive and sweet as ever. Definitely one of those spots that keeps you coming back for more.

First time visitors Located in shopping plaza - plenty of parking spots Indoor and outdoor dining, bar dining as well Clean with industrial elements, seat yourself mostly establishment until it gets busier? Staff all helpful, help take order food run clean Happy hour for select appetizers before 6pm but unsure of the start time Cambodian style food, along with drinks, noodles, entrees, a doubled sided menu with good variety! Definetly food on the sweeter side but provides plenty of condiments to add spice sodium etc Sharing yes for sure and leftovers absolutely Tried out the student noodles and RP bowl. Wasn't sure how to eat everything but I think that what made it fun trying the food as is, dipping, mixing, or eating things in a certain order. Fresh made to order, flavors did not overpower, broth tasted comforting and soothing, the giant neck bone meat was tender and the cartilage was soft and fatty in a good way, always nice to enjoy the extra marrow flavor For meats primarily saw beef chicken pork shrimp but look like online tofu was an option and combination of the meat also an option that would also determine a price difference Would certainly comeback to try more. Certainly family friendly, date night, solo dining, and group of pals hangout establishment. Lively quiet and comfortable setting.

#3. Beef & Meatballs Noodles
Lulu T.

This place used to be Guppy Tea House. Now, it is called Rice String Noodle Shack. There's a reason this place has done well, their food is tasty all the way through. Try their Crispy Egg rolls? You won't be disappointed one bit. Or, their #17 RP Bowl Beef Soup? It is like a tastier version of Pho without all the vegetables that can get in the way of what you enjoy the most, the proteins. Additionally, they also have Beef and Meatball Soup #3 which is filling at a regular bowl size. The City of Cerritos since the 80's has gotten lazy regarding work hours. Normal business hours usually were 7/8am until 7/8pm for restaurants and some past those hours. Nowadays, you wander Cerritos and think "how do these people work when they open so late into the morning (often 11am) and close so early by 5 or 9pm?" Thankfully, Rice String Noodle House figured out how to take advantage of business hours and feed people before they go to work, in the morning, because they open at 8am. Finally a restaurant that opens early in Cerritos, Ca! Come by with your family, meet up for good soup and food with your friends. Located on South Street and Pioneer.

Ask the Community - RiceString Noodle Shack

Will you guys be open on New Year's day?

This place is listed today as having outdoor seating. Is it still available? If it is, is it covered or heated? How many people can sit there? / June 8, 2023

There is some outside seating and it's covered. I think there's heat lamps. But why need heat lamps if you can can a nice hot soup served. Hope this helps and check out my review on YELP!

Do you guys have catered orders for beef stick?

They do, it's $3.50/stick minimum order 25 sticks. Also place the order a few days prior to the event so they have enough time to prepare for it :)

Are you open for dine in now?

We will be Open tomorrow (Monday) for Dine-In.

What are the gluten free dishes that can be ordered?

Under Noodle Soups, you can order any bowl. Choose small rice noodles and make it dry w/pork bone soup for a more fulfilling portion. Also, our Ba-Bong and Mekala comes w/standard rice noodles, veggies, and protein. For our Stir-Fry Noodles, our… 

Are there vegetarian/vegan options? I don't see it listed on menu.

Sorry our online menu needs updating. But Yes, we have Vegan Option available. Please ask our servers.

Do they use a lot of MSG?

I'm going to say no because I am super sensitive to MSG and never had a problem

Um...what happened to the tea house that used to be here with the fish tanks and amazing shaved ice?

Guppy Tea House had its successful run. But unfortunately they closed down. We don’t know the details, but we believe it’s due to lack of capital.

Are dogs allowed in the outdoor patio?

Yes, I just asked.

I've been coming here for a years, but my recent visit Friday night was incredibly disappointing. Word is that management is revamping the menu, but the execution right now is a major step backward. The Food & Drink: * The Ramen: The soup arrived at the table cold, and the broth was completely bland. The noodles had a distinct chalky texture, and the entire bowl felt like it was put together using pre-packaged, "out of a bag" ingredients rather than being made with care. * The Sake: I ordered a hot sake, but it was served tepid. The Cleanliness: The physical state of the dining area needs immediate attention. Both our dining table and the sake carafe itself were noticeably sticky to the touch. It was telling that on a night when next door restaurants were packed, Umaya was almost entirely empty. The Silver Lining: The one bright spot of the evening was the waitstaff. The servers were actually very good, attentive, and polite. It was the waitstaff that have me upgrading from 1 stars to 2 stars. I hope management takes a hard look at these menu changes and cleanliness standards. Until they fix the food quality and bring back what made this place great, I won't be returning.

Sort of expected. Mostly sort of safe. I didn't really want safe, I wanted something with character, something with a little edge, or history, or at least something noteworthy other than it was currently in style. Maybe Formosa already is that place, but I didn't know how the community receives it; I just knew it checked the right boxes for me. I did a better job selecting the venue than the girl. True to promise she stayed for one drink, then got urgent phone call. Said she had fun and wanted to meet again. Honest to God the urgent matter was so topical relative to what we were talking about in a context that is in my professional wheelhouse, that I didn't even realize what had happened, which I suppose is the essence of grace. About Formosa: I stayed for a couple of drinks. The place filled up. I filled up. Sampled the menu liberally. Lamented internally that date couldn't share in the enjoyment. The place has rose up lighting which is flattering to everyone. It's like Chinese submarine lighting. Tastefully redone. Attentive service. Good food. Has all the makings for a great first date.

BUSINESS PERMANENTLY CLOSING 6/28/26…read more Came here with some gals for afternoon tea. It's a cute little restaurant in Old Towne Orange. It's decorated really cute inside and out!

When you go in, there's a tea sampling station with the menus so you can see which tea you would like to order. Our server was really sweet, but she was the only one serving all of the tables, so she would come by every 10-20 minutes to check on us and some things we asked for didn't make it to the table.

So first thing's first... we came 30 min before close so some items I wanna try were out of stock. So we made it work. Got 18 wings and side of fries we also tried the lemongrass ranch. Customer service was great they were gracious enough to accommodate us and allow us to sit and eat although they had already began putting up tables and chairs. We tried the dirty Elvis wings and that's by far my fave flavor of the night. Sticky caramel with a hint of smokiness and spice. We also got the Cambodian Dirty wings which is their spin on lemon pepper. Those were also delicious .. crispy and cooked to perfection. The last flavor we tried was the sweet and spicy garlic. And tbh those were underwhelming. Tasted like sweet n sour sauce with garlic. Nothing special about them to us. The lemongrass ranch was tasty and paired well with the Cambodian dirty wings which but I don't have to order it again. Next visit I definitely plan on grabbing the fried rice and/or the garlic noodles and trying the orange habanero wings. Real casual vibe. Nice staff. Good food. Can't wait to return. But get there earlier in the day to have more options on flavors and sides.
