I loved both the dishes we got - the wife's noodle and hand pulled house special. The wife's noodle's beef was super tender. Our favorite though was the hand pulled. It is on the oily side which many have mentioned but the pickled bamboo helps cut through that and is very needed.

The price is nice and will leave you full before eating the entire bowl. The green onion pancake for me was the star of the show though. It was so dang good. I could've eaten 3 entire plates of it. It was also a hit with my little nephew, very grab-able and his favorite item to stuff into his face. The day we went there was a cook and one server but they did their best to serve everyone as fast as they could but the items took a bit of time to come out through no fault of their own. Parking is easy!

When I used to live closer to Arcadia, I loved going to Noodle St anytime I was at the Santa Anita…read moreMall. Now, even years later, Noodle St has maintained the same consistency and quality that I remember from a long ago. I really only get their signature beef noodle soup. The broth is very flavorful but adds a lot of room for you to add in other things you like, such as chili oil. The noodles always have a great texture and chewiness to them, with 4 options that you can choose from. I particularly like the combo of daikon and beef slices they have. The wait time was about 20 min on a Saturday at 2pm, which speaks to their popularity when competing against all the other options at the mall! Workers were friendly and polite. I always enjoy visiting this location!

It wasn't terrible but it wasn't amazing or recommendable…read more Pros: the food came out extremely fast. No exaggeration, it came out to the table 1-2 minutes after ordering. The staff was efficient, the place was clean, and the price wasn't too expensive. Cons: the food just wasn't amazing. It's not something I would recommend to friends or family. The spicy beef noodle soup lacked flavor and the beef wasn't tender at all. The qinghao cold noodles were better but I wouldn't come back here just for that. Overall, it was a bit disappointing flavor wise.

Imo one of the better Taiwanese beer noodle places in the area!…read more We came on a Sunday evening and there weren't many customers so I was a little worried. However there was nothing to be worried about! Our server was friendly and attentive. We ordered various beef noodle soups and they all came in a timely manner. The portions were huge, including the meats and shank pieces. The soup was also flavorful without being too spicy so it was enjoyable. We also got the cucumber appetizer and the cabbage and pork dumplings. They all had a good taste to them. I liked the little self-serve sauce buffet too. We all enjoyed our meals so we'll definitely come back.

So happy to see more Xi'an food popping up around SGV, especially when it's done this well. As…read moresomeone born and raised in Xi'an, the flavors here felt genuinely authentic, and I already know I'll be back. We ordered the Youpo Noodles with Beef Brisket, Marinated Beef Sandwich, and Cumin Lamb Sandwich. The marinated beef sandwich was the standout. They absolutely nailed the execution, from the tender, flavorful meat to the texture of the bread. I would come back for this alone. It immediately took me back to eating rou jia mo from a street cart while walking around Xi'an, which is about the highest compliment I can give it. The noodles were freshly handmade, wonderfully springy, and completely soaked with flavor. The beef brisket made them even more satisfying. The cumin lamb sandwich was the only item I felt slightly on the fence about. The filling was good, but I personally wanted a little more seasoning and a stronger cumin flavor. The interior is spacious and clean, service was fast and painless, and there is plenty of parking in the lot. Such a great addition to Arcadia and easily one of the better Xi'an spots I've tried in the area.

XiAn Foodie 李老三 serves food that is not only delicious, but authentic and full of soul. The handmade noodles were impressive. perfectly chewy and springy, soaking up the rich sauce. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying! The lamb skewers, beef skewers, beef shank noodles, lamb & carrot dumplings, and oil-splashed noodles are all highly recommended. Everything was tender, aromatic, and clearly prepared with great care and attention to flavor and ingredients. Spice lovers will definitely be happy here, but even if you normally don't eat spicy food, you'll still find yourself going back for bite after bite. The restaurant itself is simple yet elegant, clean, and comfortable, with the warm feeling of a beloved local spot. The service is friendly, and the food comes out quickly, creating a relaxed and welcoming dining experience. Especially after a long day, having a hot bowl of their oil-splashed noodles feels genuinely comforting. If you enjoy unique Xi'an cuisine, I highly recommend giving this place a try. You can taste that the flavors have not been overly adjusted just to appeal to the masses. Instead, the restaurant preserves the authentic spirit, warmth, and bold flavors of traditional Xi'an cooking.

This is our go to noodle spot…read more My family and I really appreciate this location. They give great hospitality and the food is good every time. Never misses a beat. The food is good and tastes clean. We've pretty much ate everything on the menu like a TRUE fatty. We like the chicken wings app that has this nice curry with a hint of spicy rub and the side sauce gives this good balance of some kind of sweet chili ketchup? Our go to is the beef noodle or the short rib noodle (same same but different) and the tomato egg noodle. The tomato egg noodle gives the childhood nostalgia of the Chinese egg tomato dish that I'm sure majority of Chinese family makes for dinner. The noodles are def fresh every time. More recently we were adventurous and got the build your own stir fried noodles and yum. I highly recommend this chain.

This was our first time here and will not be returning to any noodle st based off this unsatisfying encounter.

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.

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.

I originally came in excited to try the Tokyo-Styled Loaded Chashu Pork, but unfortunately it was sold out. Luckily, the Curry Nikutama turned out to be a pretty delicious backup choice. The udon noodles are made fresh in-store and have that satisfying chewy texture you'd hope for from a good bowl of udon. The beef was tender, the curry had a fragrant savory depth, and the soft-boiled egg added a nice richness and creaminess that tied everything together. One of my favorite parts was the condiment station -- being able to add fresh cilantro, green onions, ginger, togarashi, lime, and other toppings lets you really personalize the flavors and brighten up the bowl. My only minor notes: the curry leaned a little saltier than my personal preference, so a lighter touch on the seasoning would make it even more balanced. Also, during my visit there were quite a few flies around the dining area, which may have just been a seasonal issue, but it did take away a bit from the overall experience. Overall, still a satisfying bowl of udon with fresh noodles, comforting flavors, and a fun customization experience. I'd definitely come back to try the chashu pork when it's back in stock!

I'd like to preface this review noting that I've never written a bad review…read more AMBIANCE/ SERVICE -- We decided to eat here since our original plan did not work out. It's been a while, but we loved the original location in little Tokyo. So heavily disappointed this time around. First of all-- SO MANY FLIES!!! I counted fives flies on one customer's purse and at least 15 on the bench. We decided to try to eat at the tables outside even though it was warm, but the flies were extra aggressive. I asked the workers if we could take our food inside the food court and ensure we would bring the trays back since we had our 6 MONTH BABY in the stroller. I was extremely shocked when they did not allow it, esp since we had a baby! We settled at a table with the least amount of flies-- then one of the workers kept swatting them, which just made the situation worse. FOOD-- quality has dipped tremendously. It was fine as "mall food". But noodles did not taste fresh and my broth was too salty. OVERALL- would give a 0 if I could.
