    Nice place
    Anthony P.

    This place has quickly become our favorite noodle restaurant. We have been here several times now and the service and food are always amazing. Fresh vegetables and flavorful proteins make each dish a new STORY. The interior ambience is relaxing. If you happen to be in Temecula, stop by and give them a try. I highly recommend the Udon noodles or Banh Mi sandwich.

    This place uses some of the freshest ingredients, and you can really taste the difference. Their bowls are always fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. Also, they have the best crab rangoons!! The staff is consistently friendly and efficient, making every visit a pleasant experience. I also appreciate how clean and spacious the restaurant is. Definitely one of my favorite spots!

    Still one of my favorite meals I've had in Temecula! To say I'm obsessed would be an understatement. I ordered the same thing as last time, but it was still just as delicious. The garlic shrimp is so flavorful and the tiger sauce is perfection. The veggies are so fresh and the rice noodles make it feel like a lighter meal. I did try an order of the crab rangoons and they were so good! The flavor of the cream cheese and the dipping sauce was a great pairing. I hope to branch out next time I visit, because I really want to try a banh mi!

    Just minutes from my house and I finally made it here!! The place has a cool vibe, nicely decorated, clean, inviting, we were greeted immediately. The aroma of lemongrass beef cooking, was mouth watering!!! Lots of great options, dry bowls, soups and appetizers....great noodle selection and toppings to choose from. Will definitely be back to try out the different bowl options, pho was delicious.

    Bbq Pork banh mi is the best!
    Myrine S.

    Love their bbq pork banh mi! This is my first review but I've eaten here a handful of times and I've only ordered the pork and chicken banh mi. It's that good! Generous amount of grilled meat, warm toasted baguette with healthy veggies. Ask for the jalapeños on the side if you don't want it too spicy. Love that it is made to order. Appreciate the fresh, quality ingredients.

    It's like a Vietnamese chipotle- we ordered 3 soups and one bowl - after soccer games yum!

    I want to love this place as it's independently owned, but unfortunately the food was just ok. I ordered their Bahn Mai with lemongrass beef. The beef was good with flavor but the rest of sandwich was ehhhhhh...the bread needs to be fresh with a crisp as well as the herbs and vegetables. The vegetables did not taste fresh, were they from a prepared bag? The vegetable preparation is not in line with usual bahn mai sandwiches: which is critical to the overall sandwich. The soup was better/ the flavoring was good. Price is not bad for the food. Service was good: friendly Ambiance: the dining area decor was basic but clean. Plenty of parking outside the restaurant in the lot

    Bbq pork bowl with rice

    Always enjoy the food here. The bbq pork was tender and flavorful. Good portion size. Lots of condiments to choose from. They"ve added to tables for outside seating which was nice as it does tend to get Smokey inside from the fresh grilling going on .

    10/10 so good. Fresh ingredients! Owners are always here, everyone is super helpful and friendly, and I love how clean the space is. The meat quality is good! I can't stand getting chunks of fat in my food and they really deliver on quality and flavorful proteins! They also don't add in MSG which is super hard to find and 100% appreciated! We came back again 2 days after our first visit because we thoroughly enjoyed it!

    Jo J.

    As someone who is a huge BIGGG BACKER, honestly, this place was amazing. No complaints at all. We got the beef bowl and the red curry and both were amazing. The flavor was top tier. Def going to be a frequent spot for us

    Lemongrass Bahn Mi stuffed!
    Che' M.

    This spot is simply amazing. Showed up about 30 min before closing and was immediately greeted warmly. I knew i wanted the lemongrass bahn mi but I wanted something else. The young lady was very nice and patient with me. I ended up getting the Chapter 2. That garlic shrimp was outstanding and all the veggies were fresh! Now on to that damn sandwich. It was the best Bahn Mi I've had in my life. The flavors coming out of it were mind blowing! The portions were huge. We all know how some places get real skimpy, not them! Oh and the place was spotless, with plenty of seating, and an amazing condiment bar. Needless to say, I will be returning often. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

    Ask the Community - A Noodle Story

    Should we make a reservation (looking at 6:00 p.m.) or is there enough seating?

    It's fast casual, you order at the counter and seat yourself. They don't have reservations but there is usually a table or two open when I've been there.

    Do you have Vegan options?

    They have vegetarian for sure. If you build your own bowl yes but the chapters or premade ones are not.

    Met up for lunch for a belated birthday lunch celebration for our brother. It was our first time…read moremeeting up for the New Year (January), and birthday boy chose Mongol House. It was a little hard to find the restaurant, especially since the sign is not right over the entrance, but just next to it where the small market is. Look for the Winchester Center sign next to the market. Since we arrived before it opened on a Sunday, we browsed in the market until it was tine to eat. We had a reservation for 6 of us, so they seated us at the one round table near the front. There is another longer table next to it on the left side where there's a colorful mural. The rest of the tables are booths. The restaurant is spacious and roomy and very clean. You can order items from the menu or build your own hot pot which is AYCE. Everyone in our party chose the hot pot. We were each brought a small blue pot that contained the sterno to heat up the soup and the broth of our choice inside. We also placed our meat order with our server. We went to the back-left corner to grab our veggies, and some other things to add to our hot pot. Our server came by often to take more meat orders, clear empty plates, and check if we needed more broth or if our sterno needed more fuel. Our server was delightfully cheerful and friendly. She was helpful and answered all of our questions, especially when we had to choose our broths. (Forgive me for forgetting your name!) I highly recommend calling ahead to make a reservation if you have a larger party. Accessibility notes: most of the tables are padded booths. If you can transfer and slide, you should be okay. Otherwise, see if you can sit at a table that has chairs on the left side. The restaurant is spacious enough to park your mobility aid (or stroller for babies) near you. The restrooms are located in the back-left corner, 2 single stall restrooms, one for men and one for women. There is enough room for someone to enter with their mobility aid and a helper companion. You can enter the restaurant without climbing a step, but I don't recall where the handicap accessible parking was since we used a regular parking space and I climbed up the curb. No one from the family is local, but my brother-in-law chose this restaurant because it's somewhere where we can meet in the middle. We all loved it, and are adding it to our rotation when we need to come together for a celebration.

Looking back, we probably should have left at that point, but our kids were already starving. Once our food arrived, we still had to flag down a server just to get our drinks and utensils. The drinks eventually came, but the utensils never did we ended up getting them ourselves. We never had an assigned waiter just multiple people bringing our dishes. The service was so poor that I honestly can't even remember how the food tasted because the entire experience was overshadowed by the lack of attention and organization. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst dining experiences I've had, and I won't be returning.
