    Cucumber

    Came here for dinner because we were craving some beef noodle soup and this place did not disappoint! There were plenty of tables and seats in this cute restaurant and they've got a simple, focused menu. We ordered the beef stew soup (no meat), beef offal noodle, and clear broth beef noodles, the wonton in chili oil, popcorn chicken, and cucumber cold dish. The beef stew and beef offal noodle had the same soup base and I liked it a lot more than the clear broth one. The noodles were all very QQ though! The wontons were good and the cucumber cold dish was also not bad (I think I would've preferred if they made it with more vinegar though). The star dish of the night was definitely the popcorn chicken though! Very nice outer crisp with juicy, tender chicken on the inside, yum! Service was very nice! I asked for more ice water for my table just once and the waiter was very perceptive and left an entire jug by my table! They also asked if we wanted any bibs to protect our clothes from any food splashing, very considerate! Overall, good food with good portions and great service! Would love to visit again

    Beef noodle soup

    The most comforting bowl of beef noodle soup I've ever had! The quality has stayed consistently excellent over the years. The noodles are made in-house and have the perfect chewy texture, while the beef is tender and generously portioned. What brings everything together is the rich, savory broth. This bowl is more than enough for 2 people to share! I also enjoyed the Popcorn Chicken as an appetizer. The pieces are large, crispy, and very well seasoned. This restaurant is located in a plaza, but there is always ample parking. The restaurant itself is also never too busy and the employees are very efficient with helping customers get in and out.

    I can't believe it took me so long to try this place. I loved it so much! Prices were fair, small parking lot out front, not much of an ambiance. We got the beef noodle soup, fried pork app, cold sesame noodles and the peanut sesame mochi dessert. Everything was spot on - my absolute favorite being the beef noodle soup. The noodles were thick and bouncy, the beef was tender, and the soup was so flavorful. The mochi would also be something I'd get again - a lot for two people though. Better to share with 4 people.

    I've neve been to Taiwan but I imagine that this restaurant is close to what they serve there. My family likes the beef noodle soup here and recommends it to friends. Pricing is more than other places but the portion is large enough to have leftovers or feed two so it's acceptable. I get the tendon only beef noodle soup, as I like the texture of well cooked tendon so much. The flavor of the broth is rich and concentrated. The noodles have a bouncy chew texture and doesn't soak up the broth even when refrigerated overnight. The amount and size of tendon they give here is phenomenal, never seen quality and quantity like this really justifies the pricing. The wonton soup is also a large portion, that is sharable. The wontons are different from Hong Kong style, a big size and just ground meat no shrimp. I wouldn't order this again as the beef noodle soup is just so much better. Chilled cucumber salad was addicting and small enough portion to be finished off in one sitting. Crunchy and marinated in a quick pickle this was so yummy as a side dish. You can order soup to-go or even refrigerated so you can reheat at home in your own convenience. Limited menu but if you do one thing right it's all you need. Service was attentive and pleasant, cash payment is encouraged as you get a slight discount compared with card.

    The beef noodle is just ok, and yes there is lots of ingredients and I will give 3 stars for the food. However, the service is bad. I came around 11am and I was the only customer there. The waitress assigned me to a sit just facing the restroom (the door is opened). So I wanted to sit somewhere else as no one else in the restaurant. When I told the waitress she is impolitely told me why I have to switch, she just have to close the door and that's it. I was shocked and I regretted that why I didn't insist to move to other seat. But then, when there were other people came in, she asked them they can sit 'anywhere'. It's a very unpleasant lunch for me so I won't go back to this restaurant again.

    Beef Stew Noodle Soup ($16.47) - "Close Up on Noodles and Beef"
    Ian A.

    I had an adequate experience at Corner Beef Noodle House (El Monte). I ordered the Beef Stew Noodle Soup ($16.47). I loved its springy, fresh noodles; however, the soft, jelly-like beef is mildly bitter like burnt blood. It's an acquired taste. (Important: Bring Cash. There's a 3% Cash Discount.) I arrived at Corner Beef Noodle House (El Monte) on Sunday (around 5PM). Parking is easy. The lot is spacious. Staff is cordial and efficient. Staff quickly took my order. My food arrived in three minutes and 20 seconds. Extremely fast!! As mentioned, I ordered the Beef Stew Noodle Soup ($16.47). The broth is thin, savory, and sweet with a light spice. The noodles are thick, springy, and fresh. And the beef melts apart in your mouth like beef gelatin. Unfortunately, the beef is also a little bitter and dry. It tastes like frugal ingredients that were well-prepared. It's not bad. Regarding ambiance, Corner Beef Noodle House (El Monte) is very clean. The floor and tables sparkled. There's about 15 tables. There's also a customer gender neutral restroom. The music is also very soft. Overall, Corner Beef Noodle House (El Monte) offered a good experience. If searching for an affordable spot, this is an option. It's not bad, but I'd visit with tempered expectations. 4.3 out of 5

    Half Meat/Half Tendon Beef Stew Soup Noodle

    To put it simply, this is one of the best beef stew noodle soups I've had, and I keep coming back for it. Every time I come, the quality remains so consistent. What makes this dish unique here is the beef itself is perfect - flavorful, tender, and almost falls apart in your mouth. The tendon similarly is soft and well seasoned. It's hard to find beef noodle soups that is so balanced and it's usually a hit whenever I bring someone here with me for the first time. The servers work fast and the restaurant has a lot of tables. They refreshed the look of their menu, and it is now really easy to read and order. If you like beef noodle soup, you need to try this one!

    Without saying, it's really precious to find Taiwanese restaurants in LA. Corner Beef Noodle House is one of the jewels! Ample choices of lunch "bento" for popular Taiwanese foods -- popcorn chicken, pork chop, braised pork knuckles (ham hock) and stinky tofu. Surely you cannot miss their signature dish -- Beef noodle soup! They also provide frozen, cooked food for a convenient, quick meal when you need it. Now they have discount when you pay cash -- 10% off and buy 6 get the lucky 7th free. Some side dishes are UNIQUE and cumbersome to make such as 生腸! It's only available here throughout LA, or probably in the entire California state or nation wide! The "Ai-yu" lemon drink is also a distinctive, special beverage in Taiwan. Must grab one when you come to the Corner.

    I was committed to try all of the top 5 beef noodle soups in the SGV so we headed to Corner Beef Noodle House. Located in a strip mall in El Monte on Pack Rd., the interior is minimally decorated. The menu is Chinese noodle dishes and sides. We ordered the signature beef noodle soup which was very good but the noodles were a bit over cooked. The broth was deep in flavor. Spicy wontons the wontons were huge like Wenzhou style, not your normal small wontons The sauce was a bit on the seeet side. Boiled chitllins was not good. Service was ok. Plenty of parking.

    Popcorn Chicken
    Stacee S.

    According to my friend, Reddit says this place has the best Taiwanese beef noodle soup in SGV and after going today, I'd say that is accurate! Absolutely loved the soup. Super flavorful and the braised beef was so tender and tasty, thick noodles were perfectly cooked. One bowl was enough to share because we also got popcorn chicken, fried pork chop, and Taiwanese sausage. Everything was just so good, I'm still salivating thinking about it.

    Came back 2 years later and very disappointed. The beef was so hard that it was not edible. The tripe was also too chewy, and the tendon was perfectly soft but lacked flavors. Noodles and soup were still good. The cucumber side dish was soggy. Sadly, I think management and the chef had changed.

    The Good & Okay 1Beef Tendon Stew Noodles Ordered with less spice. The mouth feel of the beef tendon was good. 2Fried Popcorn Chicken Noodles Soup The mouth feel of Popcorn Chicken was good. More seasonings on the top of chicken would be better. More leaves would be better too. (Spending over $50) Free Winter Melon Tea: A pleasant free addition to the meal. The Disappointment 3Braised Pork Feet Underboiled! Both of the mouth feel and tasate were not good. The meat needed more cooking time. And 3 out of 4 pieces still had hair on them. Disgusting! The staff automatically waived the charge for this dish. My Advice: I suggested that if the pork feet are not fully prepared or up to standard, they should inform customers and stop selling them, so that they can keep food quality, standards, and the restaurant's reputation.

    I heard the hype around this place's beef noodle soup so I had to try it out. There's parking onsite as the restaurant is located in a plaza. Service was normal. I got the Half Meat Half Tendon Beef Noodle Soup and was unfortunately not impressed with it as the meat that came with it was tough and the broth had a good helping of MSG in it. I could taste it plus I was super parched afterwards and had to chug a ton of water. The tendon was just okay, I won't probably come back for the beef noodle soup as there are other places that have better versions.

    How much is the frozen lion heads original flavor and a box of cold dish seaweed? When I called I was told lion head is about $23, but my total bill was $33, does that mean the small box of seaweed was $10? Or was that a mistake? I was in a rush...

    I'm regards to the beef noodle soup, is this place better than Bull Demon King on valley?

    If you're looking for spice no. If you're looking for for savory and flavor and better noodles then yes. Their noodles have a great texture. Plus alll the other Taiwanese dishes are a plus. Pro tip: Buy some of their XO sauce to go.

    Are the noodles hand made?

    Some are, like the house special.

    Did they change owners or management recently?

    Nope! It's still the same owners that started the business.

This is my go-to place if I ever crave actual authentic Taiwanese comfort food.

There used to be several locations across Southern California, and I'm glad the Arcadia location is still here. Every visit brings back memories. I come for the Taiwanese classics that are becoming harder to find. The popcorn chicken is still one of my favorites--crispy, fragrant, and seasoned the way Taiwanese street vendors do it. The Taiwanese meatball soup is comforting, and the Taiwanese sausage always reminds me of night markets back home. What I appreciate most is that SinBala doesn't just serve street food. It brings those familiar flavors into a warm, home-style setting. It's nostalgic without trying too hard. Before you leave, save room for dessert. Their shaved ice is a must. I always recommend the brown sugar shaved ice topped with five mochi or boba. It's refreshing, not overly sweet, and the perfect ending to a meal. Taiwanese food is often overshadowed by other regional Chinese cuisines, but places like SinBala remind me how unique it really is. Simple, comforting, and full of character. I'm grateful this little piece of Taiwan is still here.

    My mom recently went to the location in Chino Hills and really liked it.

Arrived at 12:00 and the place was empty and we were the only people there. Kind of scares you a bit when there are no customers at lunch, makes you think maybe something is wrong with the place. However, while eating, there were a lot of people picking up orders to go and 4 to 5 more tables were seated by the time we left. You seat yourself and you scan the QR code to order. We got the pork stew rice and Hakka style salted pork and both were really flavorful and tasty. The little sides were also really good, especially the eggplant. However, the worker said the veggie sides change daily, so you won't always get the same ones. Overall, really good portions, tasty food, and the price is pretty good for the amount of food you get.

Bento options include minced pork over rice, stewed pork and a few variations of it, popcorn chicken, fried pork chop or chicken. They got street food options like oyster omelette, shrimp omelette, assorted marinated meats, and popcorn chicken. If you dont feel like bento boxes, they also have noodle soups. I ordered a preserved veggie stewed pork bento along with an oyster pancake. I was able to do less rice and more veggies, they just switch the placement of rice with the broccoli, the difference is very small, you still get a hefty amount of rice. While the veggies were great, I ended up needing more rice because the stewed meat was on the saltier end. Oh well, mistakes were made and the whole meal was eaten nonetheless. The omelette however was a bit of a disappointment. The texture was lacking in eggs and the veggie wasn't A-choy. The pieces of oysters were clustered in one section, you get huge chunks of the corn starch filling. The whole thing wasn't mixed in too well. Next time I'd just do a bento and nothing else. Portions were very generous and I was decently content with the food.
