The combination of the different noodle textures is awesome, and the lamb is always flavorful and goes perfectly with the sauce. This is one of those places where I already know exactly what I want before I even look at the menu because the same order hits every time. If you like lamb and handmade noodles, definitely give LAN Noodle a shot.

I have been wanting to try this Michelin ramen restaurant for a while now. Was going to dine in,…read morebut mom needed me to take her somewhere. So had to order Togo. I guess it was a good thing since street parking was very limited. We got the Truffle meat lover ramen w/soft boiled egg. We also ordered a side of the house made Wagyu wontons. I like the comic on the bag. It provided a little description of the owner. Neat! When I opened the container of broth, I could instantly smell the truffle. It smelled so good!! I couldn't wait to mix it with the noodles. I m not one who likes thin noodles, but these noodles were great. So good job on the noodles. When taking a taste of the broth, I got a little disappointed. It was saltier than expected. I didn't want to ruin the original flavor, but I had to squeeze some limes. It was also a bit too oily. I know the truffle played a part in it so I am just sad about the salty part. The Wagyu wontons didn't help. The skin was fine, but the filling was super salty. Yelp photos showing Michelin 2021, 2022, 2023, & 2024. Was the quality better back in the days? I dunno, but 2026 ...SaLTY. Still a good ramen, but I might need to wait till my levels get back on track before eating it again. I didn't go in to pick up the foods, but was told that service wasn't that good...kinda lacking.

IYKYK this is the #1 Thai spot in LA- Anajak Thai can't hold a light to this place. My husband and…read moreI have brought our families here, we've done delivery countless times, and every single order comes out ridiculously consistent and so good. Our favs our the spring/green rolls (I literally dream about these rolls and that peanut sauce), spicy basil rice and rib eye, papaya salad, pad thai, sea bass and tom kha kai - my sister-in-law says it's the best she's ever had. Save room for dessert too. Their roti and ice cream dessert and sticky mango are dangerously tasty. Really, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Plus the interior of this place is gorg.

La Ong is now one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the Los Angeles area! The ambiance and overall…read morefeel of the restaurant are intimate, modern, and sleek. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive from the moment I arrived. When I checked in, the host greeted me warmly and had my table ready immediately, even though I had made my online reservation less than 10 minutes earlier. The waitstaff also regularly checked in on me throughout my meal to make sure I had everything I needed. I started with the Thai Limeade, which had a nice kick from the rum and paired perfectly with its zesty, tangy flavor. I also ordered the Brussels sprouts, which I was initially hesitant about because the dish is topped with an over-easy egg. My hesitation was completely misplaced because they were amazing! If you love garlic, you'll definitely love these sprouts. For my main course, I ordered the Crispy Pork Noodles, and flavor-wise, they were incredible. The crispy pork is paired with vermicelli noodles, watercress, egg, and chili garlic, creating a unique and delicious combination that you really have to try for yourself. Another thing worth mentioning is the portion sizes -- they are HUGE! And I'm definitely someone who likes to eat, yet I still brought home a ton of leftovers while leaving the restaurant completely stuffed. Sure, the prices are higher than what I'm used to paying for Thai food, but you have to take into consideration the location -- Beverly Hills on Santa Monica Boulevard -- as well as the fact that the quality of the food is top-notch. In my opinion, the experience and portions make it well worth it. I can't wait to go back because there were so many other dishes on the menu that I wanted to try. If you're a fan of Thai food, I highly recommend checking out La Ong for yourself!

I tried coming 15 minutes before opening on a Sunday during lunch time and that helped a lot! Would recommend coming during the day if you want to avoid waits. Some of our favorites: -Chicken Kalguksu: I get this every time! The broth is amazing, have never had such a rich, flavorful chicken broth before. You can taste all the herbs, seasonings, and time they took to prepare. The broth is a little on the thicker end, but super filling. -Seafood Kalguksu: the broth is so flavorful and it comes filled to the brim with all types of seafood! The spice actually pairs really well with the seafood too. If you want a spicy stew, this is it! Noodles are thick and chewy too. -Bossam: so yummy! I wish I could get it more often but it's a huge portion, so come with a group so you can try it and the noodles! Everything is quality- the bossam slices, the lettuce, the toppings on the wide. Chefs kiss! My only small gripe is the portions are so big that when I come with one other person, we only have the stomach capacity to eat two dishes! Always excited to come back and try more.

After having a sauna at Crystal Spa on Sunday evening, September 13th, I had dinner with my mom and…read moremy two brothers at Hang Ah Restaurant (항아리 바지락 칼국수). I think I've been coming here for a very, very long time--probably for about 20 years! I used to come here quite often back then. At some point, though, I stopped coming as much because the parking situation in this shopping center became so busy and chaotic that it was difficult to even get in from the entrance. Also, the last time I came here, maybe two years ago, the valet parking attendant was so rude that I didn't really feel like coming back. This time, since we were already in the area for the spa, we decided to stop by again. Back when I first started coming here, it was just a very small noodle restaurant. One thing they've kept all these years--and what I think is such a great touch--is that they still serve yeolmu kimchi and kkom-bori-bap (barley rice) as a complimentary side. The restaurant became incredibly popular over the years and eventually expanded into the neighboring space, so there are now many more tables than there used to be. Since it had been such a long time since my last visit, I noticed they had quite a few new menu items that weren't available before, including galbi-jjim (braised short ribs), samgyetang (Korean ginseng chicken soup), and galbi noodle soup. One of my brothers and I ordered the perilla oil makguksu each, and it was absolutely delicious! It had such a rich, nutty flavor from the perilla oil, and it was one of those dishes that makes you think about it again later. In the past, I would always order the clam kalguksu whenever I came here, but this time I decided to try something different. My other brother ordered the clam kalguksu, and my mom had the dolsot (Hot stone) bibimbap. I tried a spoonful of my mom's dolsot bibimbap because I really like bibimbap too, and it was delicious as well. In the past, the wait here used to be incredibly long. You had to write your name and phone number by hand at the entrance, and then a staff member would come outside and call your name when your table was ready. This time, the system was different. We were told to simply wait in line, and she would take our orders outside. She said the wait would only be about 5-10 minutes, and she was absolutely right. While we were waiting in line outside, she handed us menus, took our orders, and then seated us at our table. The food came out quickly, the service was very friendly, and everything we ordered was delicious. It turned out to be a very satisfying dinner. After coming back here again after such a long time, I completely understood why this place has been so popular for so many years. It was just as popular back then as it is now, and honestly, I can see why!

The noodles are nice and thick with a really good chew to them, and the sauce is super flavorful and coats everything perfectly. Extremely filling, too. Also tried the cold noodles. If you're used to that super snappy, ultra-chewy traditional style, these are a bit different in texture, but the sauce flavor is so good that I still really enjoyed them. Portions and pricing are super reasonable for LA--starts around $13.95 and it was only a dollar extra to double up on the meat topping. Plus, they have a whole fridge stocked with popular Chinese drinks. I usually go for the white peach Chi Forest sparkling water, but decided to try the pineapple one this time--super refreshing and it cuts right through the rich oil sauce. Super solid spot if you're craving comforting, flavorful noodles!

Considering how well-reviewed they were, I was very underwhelmed. We found ourselves at The Grove…read moreon a Saturday night and decided to check out the Farmers Market. The Farmers Market is such a fun sight to see, with all the different restaurants to explore. I was craving something soupy that night, so I looked up a list of the best places to try at the market. Noodle Art popped up as a highly-reviewed spot, and since I always love to support good Chinese places in trendy spots, I decided to give them a try. Perhaps it's highly rated because of the limited options in the surrounding areas, but as someone coming from the San Gabriel Valley with a myriad of amazing options, I wasn't as impressed. Mediocre is the best way I could describe it. The menu options were slightly limited, but offered a good array of choices depending on whether you were in the market for something soupy, dry, or a rice dish. To start off, I will say their hand-pulled noodles were very good. The wide noodles were nicely thin and chewy, unlike some other hand-pulled noodles I've had where the dough is way too heavy. I tried the #5 with clear broth. However, the broth itself wasn't great. It had a slightly gamey flavor to it, so I'm not sure if they had cooked mutton in it, since that's another menu item they offer. I really didn't care for the clear broth. It also came with a scoop of potato and cabbage.

I used to love the Sichuan cold noodles from Mian. Today I went back to Mian at West Adams after a…read morelong time since I have been cutting carbs from my diet. Sadly I realized that the Sichuan cold noodles tasted very differently from before. I customized with added spicy and added numbness. But the Sichuan pepper oil flavor covered all the other flavors (spicy, salt, sweet). It was either due to the company changed the recipe big time, or somehow they missed some sauce today. To make things worse, the added noodles were served hot - i recall a while back the added noodles for Sichuan cold noodles were served cold with seasoning. Anyway overall experience wasn't close to my fond memory about Sichuan cold noddles from Mian. I still finished the noodles regardless. Other than this dish, other dishes turned out pretty good. And the waiter was friendly as before. Overall dining experience is good, but I probably won't come back to this branch at West Adams because of the Sichuan cold noodles not the same as before.

Tsukemen and Spicy Tsukemen Dipping Noodles: Both of these were delicious. The noodles have the perfect chewy texture and the chashu is tender and full of flavor. The dipping broth is to die for! Rich and savory, it is exactly what you want to dunk your cold noodles into. Chashu Ramen: My daughter ordered this one. The broth is a bit lighter than the tsukemen, but still very savory. A great option if you want something more traditional. The staff is always nice and the service is fast, even with how busy they get. Overall, this is a ramen spot worth the drive to and I would recommend it to anyone who loves a good bowl of noodles.

I'm just very, very disappointed with the food quality…read more I started eating at Tsujita when they first opened on Sawtelle, and it used to be one of those places I genuinely looked forward to. I haven't been back in quite a while since moving to the Long Beach area about six years ago, so I was actually pretty excited to have it again today. Unfortunately, it was a total disappointment. The noodles were too soft, the meat was mediocre, and all I could really taste was a mouthful of soybean paste flavor. The subtle bonito flavor that I remember and loved was completely gone. Instead, everything just tasted overwhelmingly salty. I've heard from friends recently that Tsujita may have changed their recipe, and after today, I have to agree. It's not the same. Something has definitely changed, and unfortunately, it's changed into something I barely recognize from the Tsujita I used to love.

While this may be a factor of it being delivered, the noodles were extremely mushy. Not even slightly softer than al dente, but very bloated. I could not even finish the bowl since the noodle texture made it not that great. The spiciness of the soup seemed to overwhelm the flavor of the broth itself, which was disappointing. However, the portion sizes of both the noodle soup and dumplings were great. I could tell the quality of the ingredients was high, especially with a mountain of vegetables and 3 dumplings already coming with the bowl. The dumplings were soft and honestly the star of the meal, I would've loved a specialty sauce to go with it. The kimchi was SPICY as well but tasty. I don't want to knock it down to 3 stars as I felt like it's unfair that I got takeout, but there's a chance if I'm in town again I would rather try the original kalguksu soup in person for a chance that the noodle soup is a better texture.

The food was equally disappointing. The steak was overly fatty and chewy and not rendered properly, I honestly questioned whether it was actually wagyu. The chow mein came with only four small pieces of meat, which felt unreasonable for the price. For a place positioning itself as upscale Chinese dining, the food felt bland and uninspired. I'd rather go to a local family-owned Chinese restaurant than spend $350 on mediocre food and poor service. To be fair, the manager was very nice and genuinely tried to turn things around with complimentary food and drinks, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the overall experience couldn't be salvaged. In my opinion, this place feels overhyped and carried more by influencer attention than by the actual dining experience.
