    Solid beef noodle restaurant with a simple menu and great food. The atmosphere is very cozy and you are treated well like family. The food come out very fresh and was super satisfying on a rainy day. Quick, filling, great value, and no frills.

    House Beef Noodle Soup + House Beef Noodle Soup w/ Tendon
    Flora W.

    Nothing warms me up like a big bowl of noodle soup, and 88 Beef Noodle makes Beef Noodle Soup just how I like it. One night, my fiancé and I were in Arcadia, passing by and starving after a long day of errands. I had just thought, "Oh jeez I wish I could have a big bowl of noodles right now" haha, and my fiancé pulled up in 88 Beef Noodle plaza on Baldwin at around 8:30 PM, since we saw they were still open. We were very grateful what looked like, the owners, still seated us and made us two big bowls of noodle soup. We just wanted a quick bite so we didn't fancy the appetizers this time, but I definitely want to come back and try them. We ordered 1 House Beef Noodle Soup + 1 House Beef Noodle Soup w/ Tendon. The bowls were huge and packed with beef. The beef was what you'd expect - oh so tender, juicy, and packed with rich flavor. The tendons in my soup were especially fun to eat and had a melt-in-your-mouth texture. I would come back just for the tendon in their soup. Aside from the beef, what makes a great Beef Noodle Soup for me is broth, and the chewy noodles. Their dish hits all stars. I can taste the hearty layered broth flavor and the aromatics they added in it, especially the star anise. The broth was savory, and slightly sweet almost, and so umami! Their springy noodles were a joy to eat as well - in China, we call it "Q" meaning a noodle is very bouncy and has a great chewy texture. Thank you for taking care of us that one night 88 Beef Noodle owners! I hope to get to try your appetizers and enjoy your beef noodle soup again very soon.

    It's in their name, so it must be good, no? What has stopped me in the past was that I tried two other local places for beef noodle soup, and they just couldn't cut it. Something was missing in their flavors that made the soup not all that satisfying. So, one fine evening I decided I should give this place a try hoping the third time's the charm. As others have mentioned, the lady at the front was very kind. I decided on ordering the #1 House Beef Noodle Soup to-go, which came out to around $17. The lady said it would be ready in about 10 minutes which turned out to be closer to 5 minutes. After I got home, I carefully combined the soup with noodles, and within seconds I noticed how fragrantly comforting the broth was. Indeed, my expectations were exceeded. The soup turned out rich and the beef moist and seasoned to perfection. I wolved it down quicker than I thought and realized I wanted more, even though it was a sizeable portion of noodles. Over the past several months when I'd passed by, there would be a man sitting inside during the lull of summer staring into space, passing time smoking a cigarette. It definitely left an impression on me. One other time, I noticed that some of the windows were boarded up which was concerning, cause I thought they were either burgled or going out of business. Luckily for us all, they are still around.

    cold sesame noodles and xiao long bao
    Shannon H.

    I was looking for a place to get my beef noodle soup fix. While looking on yelp, I stumbled upon this place that also had cold chicken sesame noodle.. something else we've been looking for so we decided to give this place a try. We ordered the cold appetizer platter, spicy wontons, premium beef noodle soup, cold sesame noodles and an order of the xiao long baos. The spicy wontons were perfection with a hint of citrus which came from the vinegar that was in the dish. The wontons were not too spicy but had a light peppercorn flavor. The beef noodle soup was light in consistency but very flavorful unlike other places where the soup feels a bit heavy. The texture of the noodles was nice and springy in both the beef noodle soup and cold sesame noodle dish! The xiao long bao was good but next time I think I'll opt for the leek pancakes! Xiao long bao skin texture was a little thick and I can do without this dish. I'll definitely be back ! Everything was delicious and this place is quiet and clean. As someone else mentioned in another review it is literally a mom in her kitchen (:

    Leek Pan Cake (韭菜盒子)
    Anna H.

    My friend and I employ the 3-star method for specialty Asian restaurants: The rating is balanced between those looking for good service and those looking for good food. 88 Beef Noodle definitely falls in that category. Don't expect to get stellar service -- because it's just a mom in her kitchen -- but you know you're getting a meal that tastes like home. Sick of studying for finals, we made the 40-minute drive to Arcadia in search of warm, soupy noodles. I ordered the House Beef Noodle Soup (老爺牛肉麵) and Leek Pan Cake (韭菜盒子). I think I would probably translate them more as chive pockets? I was honestly really homesick and it tasted just like food my mom makes or what I would get on the street in Taiwan. The beef was so flavorful and melt-in-your-mouth; probably one of the best places I've had beef in America other than in my own kitchen. The noodles were a little bit more like what you'd typically see in a dry noodle dish so I was initially thrown off, but it grew on me since it was great at soaking up the flavor from the soup. The chive pockets were just what I would expect them to be, and they also made for great leftovers the next day. I'm pretty sure the lady taking our orders was also the one in the back making all of the food; definitely tastes like a family operation filled with love and labor.

    Beef stew noodle mix
    Stephanie C.

    The 4 stars are strictly for the beef stew noodle and I wouldn't try out other stuff. Their beef stew noodle is really good and you can pick between the types of beef (tendon, meat, or mix). It's gently spicy and very tender. The presentation is so so and the store itself is old, but that's where you find food cooked with the heart. This is a long time mom and pop shop so there is a small wait for the food. The day I went was only a mom doing everything (cook, take orders, serve, etc)

    Inside
    Chewson H.

    I've driven past this place like a million times while going traveling up north Baldwin Ave to the mall so I decided to give it a shot. They have a specific parking lot which is not shared with the other businesses north of it. It's blocked off so you cannot cross each parking lot. The main entrance is actually on Baldwin Ave and the nearest cross street of Arcadia Ave is an exit. The parking is a one way. Upon entering this place, it's like a mom and pop shop. It's not a very big place either. When I walked in, I saw some older folks folding dumplings so it seems like their dumplings are made in house. The inside feels a bit run down and the table was a little sticky. It reminds me of those small restaurants back in the 90s and early 2000s. I ordered two items, their spicy beef noodle soup and some juicy pork dumplings aka xiao long bao. The portion size of the beef noodle soup was good, there was enough noodles and the beef looked and tasted very tender. It was really good. In the picture I thought it's bok choy but in reality it's spinach. I found that a little weird. The juicy pork dumpling would be a pass from me. The skin is really thick and tough to eat. It's not on the same level as Din Tai Fung or Mama Lu. There is literally no service, they drop off your food and then they disappear. It's one of the places where you come for the food and not for the service. Pricing for this place is alright, it's not too expensive but it's inline with other beef noodle places. I would highly recommend not using the restroom here as it has seen better days. It's on the outside and it's really really run down. There's a locker inside and it's super rusty. Overall, good beef noodle soup, no service, average pricing, and parking is small. One of the best beef noodle soup places around.

    #1 House Beef Noodle Soup
    Ron R.

    We have been driving by this place for years and have been wanting to try it and finally got the chance. Careful if you try to turn into the lot off of Arcadia as it is one way and you are not supposed yo enter from this side (see pic), although we saw lots of people doing it. The lot is on a small strip mall shared with other businesses and is divided from the rest of the mall. So if you enter from Baldwin (only legal entrance) it is the second driveway. The lot is pretty small and parking will be challenging when busy. We ordered numerous items to try them and took left overs home: #1 House Beef Noodle Soup, #10 Noodles with Minced Pork Sauce w/ side dish (i.e., Taiwanese style jajangmyeon), #18 Curry Chicken Fried Rice, and #22 Leek Pancake. All of the items were good, but the #1 had the best flavor. It is spicy so we asked for medium spicy. The noodles in the soup of #1 seemed identical to the noodles in the #10 jajangmyeon. The broth was the best part of the soup, but the beef and noodles were good. The noodles tasted much better on the #10 jajangmyeon. The Taiwanese style typically has a lighter and less flavorful sauce than the Korean version and so adding some Chinese hot sauce provided on the tables improved the flavor. The "side dish" was pickled vegetables and while tastes vary, we just don't care for the style of pickling 88BN uses, which is pretty standard for many places. If you like curry like we do and if you like fried rice, then you should like the #18. The curry flavor was strong and good but not overpowering. The #22 is not a pancake and is what we call a "chive pocket" or "chive bao" at other places. At 88 BN it had the standard items of vermicelli glass noodles, egg, and leeks/chives, but also small bits of tofu. The skin at 88 BN was thinner and less greasy than many other places and this was nice. We did not use hot sauce on it, but if not flavorful enough for you, then using some will work. We would get all these items again, but would want to try: #4 Premium Beef Noodle Soup, #9 Cold Noodle Plate with Chicken, and #16 Spicy Wonton (pork and shrimp), and "I" Combination Cold Plate. The lady who was our server was nice and did a good job. The inside is small and has relatively little seating. It might be tough for large groups and do takeout or catering might be better for that. It was not busy when we went on 11:00 on a Sunday , so it was pretty quiet. You need a key to go to the restroom, which is outside in the back. The restroom is clean but it it what we think of as "old school style Chinese restaurant" or old and run down. Just remember to bring your umbrella if it is raining and you plan to use the toilet. Overall the Yelp rating for this place is too low and should be a 4-5 star. We would definitely recommend giving 88 BN a try, but would suggest eating in rather than take out as the style of dishes served here will probably taste better that way.

    My friends and I came here on a random Wednesday night before going to see light scape at the Arboretum. They had a standing bar outside for an outdoor dining space. The noodles were good but I wouldn't warrant an out of the way trip here for them. Prices are cheap and they take card. The service was friendly but brisk.

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.

First off, the takoyaki octopus balls were full of flavor. I feel that this place does them really well. You don't feel overwhelmed by any seafood tastes and instead, you get well balanced flavor throughout every bite with the combination of the ball itself, the sauces and the flakes on top. Next is the omurice. The egg is cooked to perfection and tastes absolutely amazing. The curry, however, which was recommended by the waiter over the Demi glaze, tasted exactly like the Vermont curry cube you get in the grocery store, so I'm not sure why he recommended that over the Demi glaze. The fried rice within the omurice was alright too. Originally, I wanted to get the tonkatsu omurice but got it on the side as the choice wasn't available for the lunch menu. I would suggest doing without the tonkatsu because it was dry and there's a million and one places that can do tonkatsu better than this place. Honestly, I wish I had the opportunity to cut the omurice myself and choose how much curry I put on it, but the staff did that instead, which I guess made for a good video, but took away from my innate desires to cut the egg on my own haha. Next, the ramen tasted pretty basic like what you could get at any ramen shop. For the chicken wings, I've never had chicken wings in this flavor. They were really really good and I would definitely recommend the wings. For the desserts, I enjoyed both the matcha and the snow globe. I'm not sure what I enjoyed more, however. The snow globe is a gelatin and it doesn't really have too much flavor until you get to the parts with the flower. Plus the little clear balls have a nice flavor and texture. For the matcha, it has an interesting texture and then an interestingly light, yet deep matcha flavor. Oh the drinks. The Thai tea tastes exactly like how it does everywhere else. The amazing lemonade is a lemonade with a few slight modifications, like with cucumber and maybe some other things as well. For the service, it's pretty good here. Everyone is pretty attentive. There are three things at the table, such as cayenne pepper and two other bowls you can add to your dishes to add flavor. I forgot the name of the one I liked but it looked kind of like pork floss or loose tea, and that one had a lot of flavor. I think what's most appealing about this place is the ambiance because you can like sit in a honeycomb, there's fancy designs everywhere and you feel like you're in a different place. I think it's a good restaurant but it's kind of weird how some things here are amazing and some are just okay.

The restaurant has different chili powders on each table, which I really appreciated since I love spicy food. I do think the broth was quite salty, but maybe that's just how ramen is.

Parking is kind of limited, however, so I recommend avoiding peak dinner/lunch hours. Servers were very kind and efficient.

The broth is on the thicker, rich side, with a flavorful spice and large cuts of tender beef. The noodles are wide and chewy, which are my personal favorite for beef noodle soups. The shop itself may look small and unassuming, but their food is consistently delicious and reasonably priced. Please come and support this mom and pop shop, you won't be disappointed!

    OMFG! My husband grew up in LA So he grew up on the real real Asian food. In SB we have a fave spot…read morebut coming from Taiwan, Beef Noodle soup is home to him, so he drags me into any place he can find when we're traveling up and down the coast. Who would've guessed that the BEST Beef Noodle Soup would have been in the middle of Arcadia. The BEST. And the pork & shrimp dumplings some of the BEST we've had in SF and LA top spots. The cold jelly dish (mung bean) is AMAZING. Who knew such a small unassuming mom and pop shop could rival some of the Michelin spots we've ventured to. But honestly, most food that's made like your Mama made it is obviously gonna be better than any restaurant you ever go to. This is like they just happened to have a restaurant in their home. The food came out almost immediately, that broth had been cooking to perfection for who knows how long. Every bite of every dish was PER-FEC-TION. Just WOW. Thank you Auntie!!

    So I took my kids to this place on a Saturday night, there were only two tables when we got in. So…read moreI took a look of the menu, and ordered the tomato egg noodles, hun-yuan cold jelly and beef noodle. When the tomato egg noodle arrived, I was surprised by how little the sauce was compared to the amount of noodles, probably 2 tablespoons of sauce on top of the noodles and a few shredded cucumber. The cold jelly, according to the pictures, supposed to have some shredded bean curd and beans on top but again there was a few shredded cucumber on top of it and that was it. So I ask the server why the food looks different from the picture and she just answered "That's just how it is". Based on the amount of food we got, everything was overpriced. From my understanding this place was Michelin rated in 2021, I'm not sure how they got it, but quality definitely was not like that when they were rated. While I was paying, I saw the worker took out some frozen meat and placed them on the floor. - I mean are you serious ? ? I don't usually leave for reviews, but what they did really made me concerned about the food safety there and I want people to know. I'm sorry, but I don't think I will come back.

    This is place is AMAZING! One of the best Guilin noodles around. It's nestled right in the middle…read moreof food court so it can be easy to miss. Usually get the Gizzard (#2) or the Braised Pork (#3). Portions are huge and if you're not feeling super hungry, this can definitely work as 2 meals. There's also toppings such as green onion, cilantro, etc that are self served. Other reviews say soup can get pretty spicy, but it's not too bad. This is coming from someone who has a very low spicy tolerance. Noodles are as cheap as $11 straight up with no tax charged. They're mainly a cash business but also accept Zelle. We usually get to go so they already prep it in a to go container. Heard they usually charge extra if you ask for a to go container separately? Overall this place is my definition of comfort food. You can call your order in ahead of time if you don't want to wait. It's also nice to grab some Milk Tea at the vendor next door to balance out the oil and spice from the soup.

    My Mom and I had already eaten our quick lunch. We couldn't help, but noticed people one after…read moreanother buying from Mojie Noodle. Inquirier Us wants to know. What's so special about their noodles? Let me tell you, they are very special. Simple soup bowls with rice noodles that don't stick together, topped with good portions of protein choice primarily beef flank, braised pork, pork intestine, pork trotter (aka pig's feet), crispy pork, or chicken gizzard, plus roasted peanuts and your condiments of choice. I chose #3 Braised Pork Rice Noodle and #9 Crispy Pork Rice Noodles Signature to-go. OMG, I was super surprised by the soup savoriness and flavorfulness. SO GOOD! The noodles were a generous amount and you can slurp them very easily. Pork portion and size were more than adequate. VERY TASTY! The roasted peanuts were great tasting... it brought back some nostalgia... nice addition to the bowl! They have a condiment station (red hot chili, hot chili oil, spicy pickled daikon, spicy pickled cabbage, spicy green onions, green onions, cilantro) where you can get as much as you would like for your bowl. Do you see a trend? Lots of spicy condiments! Staff ladies were really friendly and nice. They didn't speak much English. I just pointed to the items I wanted. Prices were very reasonable... $11 - $15 per bowl. Payment options are cash or Zelle only. Funny, I didn't have enough cash on me so I left to go to the bank to get cash. They didn't start making my order until I returned. It wasn't an issue because it literally took them a few minutes to make the bowls. Wait time was nothing. Restaurant front was clean. Shared seating is available inside the President Square Food Court. Free parking at the President Square in Arcadia. Highly recommend Mojie Noodle! #1 Guilin Style Rice Noodles is their top seller. Too bad I don't eat beef anymore otherwise I would get it. I hope they add fish to their bowls in the future. I'll be back to dine-in for more tasty rice noodle bowls even if I stick with pork or I might even try their chicken gizzards.
