    Anti- gravity noodles
    Susan R.

    If you're visiting the Anaheim Packing District and craving something a little different, 206 BCE Noodles is worth a stop. We visited on a busy Sunday and tried three dishes: the Cajun Shrimp Platter, the Cajun Crab & Shrimp Platter, and the fan-favorite Anti-Gravity Noodles. **The Food** The seafood platters were the highlight of our visit. Both were flavorful and satisfying, and like most seafood boil spots, you can customize your spice level -- a nice touch for those who like it mild or those who want to turn up the heat. Portion sizes were decent and the platters felt like a good value for the price. The Anti-Gravity Noodles are clearly the star of the show visually -- and the presentation is genuinely impressive. However, the "wow factor" does come with a trade-off: by the time the noodles are served and you make your way to a table, they can arrive on the cooler side. Warm noodles would elevate the dish significantly, so hopefully that's something they can refine over time. It's also worth noting that the menu is on the smaller side, so don't expect a wide variety of options. **The Service** Our interaction with the staff was straightforward -- order placed, food delivered, no fuss. The service was professional, though not particularly warm or personable. For a casual counter-style spot in a bustling food hall, it gets the job done. **The Atmosphere & Logistics** The space itself is open and comfortable, with several tables available. And of course, being inside the Packing District means you have access to plenty of additional seating throughout the venue. Keep in mind that wait times can stretch on weekends -- the district draws a crowd, and Sunday is no exception, so plan accordingly. **The Bottom Line** Pricing is mid-range overall. The seafood platters offer solid value, though the noodle bowls feel a touch pricey relative to the portion size. 206 BCE Noodles is a fun, unique concept with genuinely tasty food -- a few tweaks to the noodle dish and a warmer front-of-house experience would make it even better. Worth trying if you're in the area!

    Crab and shrimp boil for two
    Vanessa C.

    We came to the packing house and found this great spot for seafood boil. This dish is enough to share. They give you all you need, gloves and napkins. If you need the crab cracked open, just ask. They will crack the crab legs for you in the back. In their area they also sell lots of snacks and drinks.

    While exploring the Anaheim Packing District during our Disneyland visit over the Holidays, my family and I stumbled across 206 BCE Noodles! BCE Noodles is open for lunch or dinner with other surrounding vendors. The 206 BCE name is themed from when noodles were first written about, which is pretty cool! One of the known items that sets this place apart are the Anti Gravity Noodles. The noodle bowls having steaming noodles appearing to be floating on top of the bowl. It was amazing! The house special pho was delicious! There are other menu features dishes like the garlic butter shrimp or the Cajun Seafood Boils that have fresh ingredients and herbs! When my family and I visited, it wasn't too busy inside the restaurant. There were some tables available too, to eat at. Live holiday music was playing inside the Anaheim Packing District. There are also some sweets and snacks that you can buy from the shop! We had an amazing experience at 206 BCE Noodles. The team members here are awesome! The service was fantastic.

    Anti-Gravity Sausage Noodles and Cajun Calamari & Tator Tots

    Parking can get complicated 'cause the lot is super small. The place is located inside the Packing District. I ordered the Anti-Gravity Sausage Noodles and Cajun Calamari & Tator Tots. The Anti-Gravity Sausage Noodles were good, but the sausages were too spicy for me. The noodles were flavorful and a bit sweet. The Cajun Calamari & Tator Tots were good as well. Recommendation(s): - Anti-Gravity Sausage Noodles (but the sausages are spicy) - Cajun Calamari & Tator Tots Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Parking can get tough - Located inside the Packing District - Accept Apple Pay

    Located in Anaheim Packing District, I was looking for this noodles particularly due to the highlight in the internet. The order taker was kind giving me chili oil when I was asking the noodles to be spicy. Upon getting the food, I was amazed with the presentation, such a brilliant idea, make the noodles hanging like that! The noodles itself tasted great and super garlicky also the protein is quite a lot... The food court decor was so chic and artsy. A Must Try food when visiting Packing District!

    Food only took 10 mins and was really great. everything tasted fresh. A lot of food for $20ish and didn't have to wait long.

    Garlic Butter Shrimp Platter
    Henry L.

    First time here. The two gentlemen at the front provided great service and advise to pick a dish. I opted for the Garlic Butter Shrimp platter ultimately because it was shells off. The Cajun platter was a close 2nd choice (shells are on though). The vibe is chill. Just go find a table nearby and wait. They'll give you a buzzer that buzzes when your food is done. 5/5

    Shrimp Floating Noodles  Sausage Floating Noodles
    Dominic N.

    I liked: Shrimp Floating Noodles Sausage Floating Noodles The floating noodles are certainly the star of the show. Pretty flavorful and not too overpowering, which I appreciate. The shrimp and sausage are just okay in comparison, with the sausage being a bit on the dry side. Service is pretty minimal, they take your order and call your number. It is definitely not enough to justify the 17 dollar price point, but you are paying for the novelty and the Instagrammable vibe more than the actual portion. Worth trying once just for the floating #goodeats experience.

    Anny O.

    Presentation was just like advertised with floating noodles but flavor was meh.. noodles were too soft and there wasnt enough shrimp. The base that hold the straw is huge so you don't get a lot of the actual food Wait was long. Overall just good experience but wouldn't come back

    House noodles
    Ivan A.

    The floating noodles is a smart marketing tool because gets you to order it but the flavor 100% makes you happy about it. Ordered the anti gravity house noodles - bowl of egg noodles and garlic butter sauce, sausage and fried shrimp. It's Cajun noodles if you've offered at your local bag and crab or Cajun bowl grill. Classic flavors of butter, chilli, and spices. What makes it different is that it actually tastes rich evenly. Some crab bowl spice places skimp and it's a consistent flavor all the way through. Shareable between you and your person with out taking too much room if you wanted to try other stuff in the packing district. Service took sometime, they were busy that we had to wait 10 minutes before we could place the order. Maybe 15 minutes before our order was called. Inside is a giant "packing house" so it's cafeteria style. Find an open spot and sit. They had a band playing so it was a cool vibe.

    Cajun mussel platter
    Stephanie S.

    Go to spot every visit to Anaheim! Highly recommend the mussel platter medium spice level. Great portions and price.

    Garlic butter shrimp
    George S.

    Great little spot for one Cajun fusion food. We had their Garlic Butter Shrimp dish. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and had a lot of butter and garlic sauce, served over white rice. Restaurant was clean, service was fast and staff were friendly and helpful. They have some seating, but you can usually find seating within the packing house, since there are so many restaurants there. Overall, a tasty experience and we'll be back to try other dishes! Happy Nom Nom!

    Carolyn C.

    We really enjoyed their garlic butter shrimp platter and Cajun shrimp platter. Located in the Anaheim packing house on the first floor. I highly recommend this spot for your shrimp fix. Both platters came with a good amount of shrimp and rice, you'll need a to go box for the rest of it. They give you gloves to peel your Cajun shrimp and enjoy the corn and baby potatoes that come with it. The rice is shaped into a heart right in the middle of the platter. Such cute representation of the entire thing! To top it off, twenty bucks is a great deal for this delicious meal! The workers were very friendly and attentive. They got our orders out to us in a timely manner. We decided to sit on the second floor to join the rest of our friends who enjoyed other good eats at the Anaheim packing house. Looking forward to coming back already

He told us they were short staffed due to someone calling out for an emergency, and yet the whole time we felt well taken care of. Manny had great recommendations, was thoughtful and funny, and made us feel at home. We also met Paul, who was working the bar and also as an expo, and made wonderful cocktails. He even offered to make us something off-menu, and had mentioned that one of the drinks he had tried while making those off-menu drinks didn't turn out. The fact that he was so dedicated to making something we would enjoy based on our tastes that he wouldn't accept a sub-par drink really means a lot. He was also kind and fun, and we would absolutely drink the rest of the bar menu. The food was also great, I got a dozen oysters that were fresh and briny, my wife and I shared the Parker rolls, and we had sea bass and skirt steak that were each beautifully prepared and not too heavy. Funny enough if I had one note it would be that you couldn't cut the steak with the steak knives... because the steak knives were a little dull and not serrated. BUT we discovered you could easily cut the steak with a butter knife - that's how tender it was. Honestly while the food was great, the people who work here are the real sell. They're so cool and dang nice, we look forward to coming back!

If that bit of consistency doesn't speak volumes I don't know what will. Oc & Lau specializes in Vietnamese street food and essentially works in family style dining. Everything is brought out in platters & large bowls where food is shared amongst the table. The menu is filled with Vietnamese salads, snails, assortment of seafoods, rice, noodles, and hotpot. Vegetarian options are available. As if the menu isn't extensive enough, there is a whole section of drinks- alcoholic & non alcoholic.

Ingredients are always fresh and the quality is on point. My complaints stem from the restaurant ALWAYS being "sold out" of the razor clams and the stir fried basil clams coming out soupy and off tasting to what they normally should taste like. Not too big of a deal once you factor in all the other great qualities Oc & Lau has. The pricing is costly and the portions can be small depending on what you are ordering. Things add up quite quickly since my family and I eat to get stuffed. Lmao. 5/5 stars because a trip to LA isn't a trip to LA without visiting O&L!!! I'll forever be a fan!!
