Wow! Can't believe it took me this long to try this place. It's the real deal for sure. we got the dumplings and it was so juicy and full of fillings. The beef noodle soup is a great shareable portion for two. I am used to beef noodle with 2-3 thin slices of beef but this one came with 3 fat chunks of tender beef. Noodle was well cooked and broth was perfectly seasoned. I can't wait to come back again
This place is located between LAN noodle and Pho Ha so there's a lot of noodle competition! Plenty of parking available in shared lot. Came here for the first time since we always go to LAN noodles next story so decided to give this place a try. Wasn't busy for it being 6pm so plenty of seats here available. We ended ordering: Pork and Cabbage Dumpling - good portion for the price you're paying. Stuffy is good but is on the salty side. Best when eaten hot. (They sell frozen dumplings if you want to take some home) Traditional Minced Pork with Dry Noodles - recommend this dish here if you like dry noodles; only $10 and it's filling! Although the egg was warm on the outside but a tad cold in the inside so maybe warm it up a bit more. Premium Braised Beef Noodles - friend had this and she found nothing special about it. Their menu doesn't include drink options but they sell bottled beverages behind the counter. Owner should think about getting it added. Sauces are served community style; they're not at your table. Big turn off were the water cups that were provided. They looked old and should be replaced. Overall, a simple establishment if you want both noodles and dumplings.
The cold noodles here are so good, delicious, and authentic like Taiwan's. Beef noodle, sides, tofu, and the frozen dumplings are all must haves that we tried. Small restaurant with one server so you have a to be a bit patient with the food. Can come with a small or large party as they can move tables around. Affordable and tasty!
Menu photos will help with ordering. Don't know if it's my phone connection or a language barrier but it doesn't matter. This spot has the best sesame cold noodle and minced pork noodle in the 626. Had no luck even at the good Taiwanese joints in Alhambra Monterey park plus more like pop and joy as they've been way too salty and noodles aren't as good. Ordering at the location and waiting for the food has generally been fast.
Tried here for dinner with some friends. Located in a large plaza, there is plenty of parking. Staff only spoke Mandarin to us, not sure if they know English. We were seated right away and given waters and menus. They weren't very busy at 6:30 pm. We ordered the braised beef noodle soup ($10.99) and pork and chive dumplings ($10.99). The braised beef was very tough to chew and dry. The soup was a bit spicy so be warned. Portion was decent but mostly just soup in a large bowl. The dumplings came in 10 pieces and were fat and juicy. Nothing super special about the filling though.
This is a casual eatery. Nothing fancy but the menu has some Taiwanese classics so I gave it a try. Most people in the restaurant had ordered their beef noodle soup, and they smelled pretty authentic. But I ordered the pork intestine noodle soup because I don't see this on many menus. The flavor was average -- tastes familiar, but not something I would go out of my way for. The soup was weirdly lumpy -- I know it's supposed to be thickened with a corn starch slurry, but this was lumpy like someone didn't properly dissolve the starch in the slurry before adding it to the soup. Didn't really affect the taste but was not as smooth as I would've expected. I also ordered a side of braised kelp, which was ok but a bit sweeter than I like it. The staff was friendly and they were playing a Taiwanese song from 1989 that I heard when I was young, which adds to the nostalgia. It's not the best Taiwanese food I've had in LA but I'll probably come back to try their beef noodle soup. You know, for science.
We had a quick unmemorable dinner here. Ordered the #1, #4 beef noodle soup and boiled pork Napa dumplings. Not much difference between the noodle soups except #1 had an egg and two bok choys. I guess that makes it "premium"? But I don't understand the up charge. The dumplings had lots of juicy fillings and thin skin. I saw a few people grabbing a bag of frozen dumplings to go. The service was adequate and the restaurant was clean. It was kind of a hole in the wall with no frills. There are freezers on one side of the restaurant storing frozen dumplings for purchase.
We stumbled on Xiang Ji when we spotted a picture of their braised three treasures noodle on their window. What luck! We walked in and were quickly sat as the restaurant was near empty upon our arrival; however, there was a wait no more than 15 minutes after. Again, what luck! We ordered their chicken gizzard (cold dish), braised half tendon half meat beef noodles and braised three treasures noodles. As we waited for our order, the server directed us to their "sauce bar" that included four chili oils. I wish I took a picture but two of their chili oils/sauces were incredibly tasty. One was a red paste and the other was garlicky. We enjoyed our dishes. The chicken gizzard has a pickled vegetable mixed in (that we loved), along with our noodle soups. The broth was flavorful and the meat was tender. As we looked around, we noticed several tables with their bean curd, and that's definitely on our list for our next visit. They have frozen options of many of their dishes, as well as their dumplings. Looks like a great option! Plenty of parking available in the plaza. No frills but delish!
Heard this place was popular for beef noodles so came here to try with some friends. There is plenty of parking in this plaza which is good. And there was no wait for a table when we came. It is a casual sit in restaurant and they have a good amount of tables. We got the Beef Noodle Soup (10.99) and the pork and chives dumpling 10 pieces (12.99). The noodles and dumplings were served pretty fast which was nice. You can get sauces for your noodle or dumpling at a separate counter by the door. I didn't get any because I thought it was good enough without. The dumplings were pretty good and big and I liked the filling. As for the noodles, it was a bit spicy for me since I can't eat any spice. The employee said it isn't too spicy so I trusted them but it was still a bit spicy for me but I could still eat it. I didn't drink much of the broth though. They gave plenty of beef with the noodles but the pieces were tough to chew and a bit dry, so I couldn't finish all of it. Overall, I think this place is pretty mid and is a hit or miss for some people. I thought the beef noodles I tried at another place were much better and not spicy. I wouldn't come back here again but worth giving it a try if you are curious.
Came back here again recently with my family and they finally have a name front. glad it was renamed from "apt" because that was just confusing. Their customer base has improved and the flavors of their Taiwanese food continue to be authentic. Service is a bit on the slower side as they usually only have 1 staff running the whole dining area - taking orders, bringing out the food, packing to-go orders, processing the bills; I feel for the person. I think it's a family-owned business so the family members take turns. Anyway, as long as you don't come here while in a rush, then you are good.
I tired the cold noodles and sesame noodles, both of which tasted very Taiwanese and authentic, instantly transporting me back to Taiwan. The braised dishes were also very authentic which I really liked. Their chive and shrimp dumplings had thin wrappers and the filling didn't break during cooking Pefect. Their chive restaurants isn't big, but it's clean, the service is excellent, and parking is easy.
We are from NorCal and was driving to SoCal. I found this restaurant on Google and I also looked at the Yelp review. Parking was easy and getting a table was no problem. However, I did not enjoy the food. I love tendon and ordered the half tendon and half meat beef noodle. The tendon was so soft, it was like eating something fatty. We also shared a plate of cabbage and pork dumplings. They are good size but unfortunately they were not too tasty for me. Overall, I was disappointed that beef noodle soup in Arcadia is not as good as in NorCal.
Delicious spot for some Taiwanese cuisine. Great service - it's seem like family own so kinda got the feeling that the daughter is helping out with being server and cashier . Ambiance is like a small family own restaurant Got to try there beef noodle soup it's delicious The stinky tofu bring you back to Taiwan Same with the pig intestines vermicelli soup All items I order was right on point that bring all the yay want tastes back!!! I order all my items without cilantro (cause I'm not a big fan) but for you that like the cilantro it will bring the look and taste up a notch.
I'm a fan of Xiang Ji. I think the food and service is great. FOOD Signature Dry Noodles - good taste and texture. The cold noodles are nice in the current hot weather. Premium Braised Beef Noodles - the beef quality is great. You get tender beef and tendon. The noodles and broth are great too. INSIDE It's very simple inside. It also seemed clean when I went. SERVICE Friendly and helpful PARKING Large, shared parking lot (free). I didn't have issues but I think the lot can fill up during busy hours. read more
Imo one of the better Taiwanese beer noodle places in the area! 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. read more

House dry noodle is very tasty. Great noodle texture and extra sesame tasting! Also got the dumplings and they were delicious as well. Very juicy and flavorful. Great quick service. The food tastes wonderful and definitely like home cooking. I will be returning and highly recommend anyone that is in the area. Plenty of parking available in the plaza and also conveniently located by boba shops as well. I really like the ambiance of this place because it feels very no frills and mom/pop style. They also sell frozen dumplings to go so I'll definitely have to pick some up next time. read more

The beef noodle soup was good. My favorite was the pork intestine noodles which is the brown soup noodle. This is a signature Taiwanese dish and not many places in LA serves it. This one was good and the only thing I would come back for. They had various stuff dumplings. The pork dumplings were a little bland. The beef dumplings were good but were not out of this world. They use store bought skin, probably to cut labor and cost, but honestly there are better options around the area. This is a casual spot. The service was limited. We had to ask for things more than once. They do have a self service sauce station for your dumplings sauces. read more

Very small restaurant with a lot of parking. Upon entering there's a little corner dedicated to sauces and a giant freezer with frozen dumplings - when I saw this I knew it was a good sign! The service is really great, the lady server is very nice and friendly. The food itself was 1000/10! My boyfriend and I got the green chive, pork and shrimp dumplings which were so delicious that we had to get another order! The prices are very reasonable too, definitely would recommend! read more
Excellent Taiwanese comfort food! The beef noodle soup came in a huge portion and was delicious, the braised combination plate was very well done and authentic, the dumplings were fragrant with nice flavor and texture, and the braised stinky tofu was stinky but in a good way. The restaurant itself was homey, and the wait staff were super friendly and welcoming. I wish I live closer but will happily go out of my way to eat there again :) read more

WOW. We demolished everything. We got the combo platter, three treasure noodles, and the steamed cabbage pork dumplings. Will be coming back for the combo platter- everything on it, pork ear.. seaweed knots.. tofu.. was delicious. The tendon in the soup was so savory and flavorful. read more
Solid Taiwanese restaurant with lots of options and big portions. The #1 noodle bowl came with the 3 gigantic pieces of meat, the most meat I have gotten in a noodle bowl. The noodles are packed with flavor and very satisfying. Plenty of indoor seating and friendly staff. read more

It's pricy considering this is just a noodle/dumpling spot. 1) Chives pork dumpling-4 Full of Chive flavor bursting out in mouth, juicy and tasty. Self serve counter for dipping sauces, so u r responsible for the taste you mix in to the food 2) Braised Beef tripe slices-3 Chewy w/mild flavor. Wanna try their staples Beef Noodles, but it's $23+tax n tips wd be $30?! This is a rich community ai suppose.. read more

Classic beef noodle, Taiwanese style, with rich, flavorful stock. Taiwanese hospitality (I lived in Taiwan right out of college, and it feels like the neighborhood eatery I used to go to). Cozy mom and pop feel. read more

Decided to check this place out last minute and it did not disappoint! Got here on a Sunday around 6pm and got seated right away. Got the first item on the menu, which is the beef noodle soup, which comes with an egg and bok choy. The beef chunks are huge and very tender! What's special is the beef chunks are a combination of beef and beef tendon. Generous portion and authentic taste! The broth is flavorful but not overly salty and you can opt out of green onions and cilantro if you would like. Side note: they also sell frozen dumplings to go, which seems to be pretty popular! The lady serving us was super nice and polite! There's parking in the plaza (just be sure to double check since some spaces are 30 minutes only). read more
Food definitely is great if you are into Chinese cuisine. Service was definitely personal attention. Ambiance is acceptable. You cannot have reasonably priced food in elite restaurants. Besides, I love a hole in the wall places. It's in a sense private. It was more than filling for two people sharing. Had to take home leftover noodles which is in the picture. Almost went next door which is also a noodle shop. We'll try it next time. read more

I wasn't in the mood for taiwanese food but the juicy dumplings on the front page was looking too scrumptious! We ordered the #4 braised half tendon half beef noodles. The broth was good and full of flavor, with a mild kick. The cuts of meat and tendons were a bit big but biting into it was surprisingly soft and tender. Usually other places the meat is dry but I really liked it. I appreciate that you can choose which cuts of meat you want. I loved the al dente, slightly chewy noodle texture as well! We also ordered the #10 braised beef noodles. The broth was lighter, non spicy but still full of flavor. You can taste more of the broth and green onion flavor. This would definitely be the meal I would have if i was sick. Both noodle bowls were a huge portion. The chive and pork dumplings were delicious as well. The skin was thin and chewy. The filling had this great umami flavor, slightly sweet but still savory and very juicy. The chili garlic sauce they had on the side did it for me. I was also surprised at the service. The server was really kind and attentive. She saw me packaging my leftovers and suggested to keep the meat with the soup and noodles on the side so that the meat can stay tender and noodles not soggy. I wasn't sure how this place was going to compare to their nextdoor neighbor since I've been to Lanzhou noodle a few times. This one might be my new favorite beef noodle spot! read more

Wow, can't believe I've slept on this place all these years. Use to go to college down the street, but not sure why I never tried it. My friend brought me here claiming authentic Taiwanese beef noodles. Lived up to the hype! When the menu came, I just went for the signature #1 beef noodles with boiled egg. I probably could do without the egg and just go with traditional beef noodles next time. The beef is super slow cooked and marinated to its juicy fullness! Meat fell apart and melted in my mouth. Mix in a little bit of their spicy sauce from the window counter and you are golden. My friend had the triple meat, tendon and tripe. Might give that one a try next time! Seems very mom and pop owned. It startled getting bustling around 12:30pm. There's only about 8 or so tables but restaurant was full by the time we left. Authentic and official Taiwanese beef noodles. Go try for yourself! read more
