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!

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

Came here for the beef noodles, left with a plate of Pork Foot Rice and Popcorn Chicken. Even the minute maid is special. As always great place for 古早味everything

Overall: Great place for Taiwanese food with quick, no frills services. This is one of my go to spots for beef noodle soup. Plenty of parking, usually no wait, and great food. The Service: Service is definitely no frills. It's not a fine dining restaurant, but the server is attentive, took my order quickly, and would refill my water when needed. Everything was quick and efficient. The Food: Monascus Pork - 5/5 Very few places serve this dish and it's one of my favorites. The crispy fried pork is well seasoned and is a bit fatty so it's very delicious. This pairs well with the pickled cucumber. You can order this dish by itself or as an entree where it's served with rice. Beef Noodle Soup - 5/5 This is definitely one of my favorite beef noodle soup places since the soup is nice and rich, but not heavy tasting. It has a bit of spice but isn't too spicy. I love the pickled mustard greens that they give. I prefer it with just the beef, but you can also order it with tendon and tripe if that's something you like. The portions are huge! They give so much meat and noodles which gives you more bang for your buck. The taste is very homestyle and reminds me of when I visited Taiwan! I prefer the regular noodles - they were a bit thicker and had a nice bouncy/chewy texture to it. You can also order the noodle soup as a combo where you can get a small appetizer sized amount of cucumber and bean curd. This combo also includes a drink. Price: Beef Noodle soup prices range between $15-$18 depending on what meat choices you get. The other entrees are also around the same price point with appetizers ranging between $8-12. The portions for the food are a lot for what you pay for. The Atmosphere: It's a rather large restaurant which can accommodate for larger groups. It's a casual restaurant so don't expect a fancy dining atmosphere. Parking: Located in a strip mall, with plenty of parking.

I already have my go-to's in the LA and OC areas, but this being Christmas Day, some of those places were closed. And so, as I was feeling some beef noodle soup, I looked and I found! Corner Beef Noodle House did the trick and hit the taste buds, but it also is not quite as amazing as my already-established go-to's in the area. Location: Corner Beef is located in a plaza, which is good for parking. That said, the parking lot does tend to still get crowded (from the other tenants of the plaza)! I was able to get a good parking spot though. Service: It's seat yourself as you walk in, but there isn't a sign or anything to say this. As I was waiting, props to the one server who has to serve everyone, but she also didn't turn at all as I entered and didn't acknowledge me at all. So I chose to just seat myself after waiting a bit, asked aloud to make sure I could seat myself, and that's when she turned her head for the first time and acknowledged my presence. Friendly, yes. So overall friendly and kind, just perhaps there's something a bit off that could rub somebody with less patience the wrong way. There are plenty of tables. Also some customers. This place seems to stay at least somewhat busy. Definitely not empty, but also not crazy packed. Now on to the food! Since beef noodle soup is in the restaurant name, this was what I was going to go with, and what I think would be fair to write a review on this establishment on. The noodles are pretty bouncy - that's a good thing! Pickled vegetables get served on the side - that's a good thing too because I know some who don't like the pickled veggies. I happen to love pickled veggies with my beef noodle soup, so I dumped the entire small ramekin in there. The broth was rich and flavored,. Spicy enough too - did a good job clearing my sinuses. A bit salty. I would also add that the beef chunks were a bit tough and large too. Not horribly tough, but tough enough to where I noticed it wasn't super tender like I prefer it. And since these were extremely large, it took a bit to get through them. Still, they tasted good enough, just not as good as some of the other places I've been to. I have to say I came into this establishment curious how things would play out - I read the Yelp reviews ahead of time. Most were good and there was one that stood out saying how horrible everything was. I tell you what - after trying this place firsthand, I question that one reviewer for whether or not something else was at play, because this place wasn't THAT bad. The meat was certainly tougher than it should be, and that prevents it from getting 5 stars, but overall, this place isn't bad, is overall decently good, and the service is the same - food came quickly, server was friendly but also with not the most outgoing mannerisms. Take to heart what you will - but if you're in a bind and have a beef noodle soup craving, Corner Beef Noodle is certainly not a bad place to go to. Just don't expect the same as you would get in Monterey Park at the unfortunately-closed Mandarin Noodle House - man, I miss Mandarin Noodle House! But therein lies the standard I go by.

The dishes I ordered which really delicious but half way of having then I bite metal piece ,omg so lucky .I can't even think if I swallow . Should not happen and have to careful because of food. Really disappointed and regret to eat that

I'd say this place has one of the top beef noodle soups in the area. We got the Beef Stew Noodle (16.47), Wonton in Chili oil (14.94), Mochi (7.73), and Honey Aiyu Green tea (4.99). The beef noodle is pretty sweet and not very spicy at all, and I like how bouncy and slightly chewy the actual noodle strands are. They pack a lot of beef into the bowl, and each piece is tender and not tough to chew despite the look. The wontons had a strong chili smell, but it wasn't super spicy and tasted vinegary. The standout to me was the mochi - it was nice and chewy and the peanut and sesame flavoring was just right! I'd definitely go again, even on a random Wednesday night the place had decent amount of guests dining in.
