The price is nice and will leave you full before eating the entire bowl. The green onion pancake for me was the star of the show though. It was so dang good. I could've eaten 3 entire plates of it. It was also a hit with my little nephew, very grab-able and his favorite item to stuff into his face. The day we went there was a cook and one server but they did their best to serve everyone as fast as they could but the items took a bit of time to come out through no fault of their own. Parking is easy!

I loved both the dishes we got - the wife's noodle and hand pulled house special. The wife's noodle's beef was super tender. Our favorite though was the hand pulled. It is on the oily side which many have mentioned but the pickled bamboo helps cut through that and is very needed.

I saw Lao Xi Noodle House on the Michelin Guide and decided to stop by during a SoCal trip! We came…read morefor an early lunch on a Friday and were the first customers of the day, so service was super fast. The dry-fried green beans were probably the most dry-fried green beans I've ever had LOL. I loved the blistered, almost charred texture, and they were really flavorful. The wife special noodle was good as well. It reminded me of a cross between tomato egg noodles and dry beef noodles. I really liked the doughy, dense texture of the noodles, although the egg was pretty salty and the beef was a little tough. Overall, it was a solid meal and I'm glad I stopped by, especially after seeing it on the Michelin Guide. That said, the noodles weren't quite as mind-blowing as I expected based on the hype. Still worth a try if you're in the Arcadia area!

What we ordered: * Appetizer Combo - A great way to start the meal with a variety of refreshing side dishes. * Braised Pig Ear in Chili Oil - Crunchy, flavorful, and coated in a fragrant chili oil with just the right amount of heat. * Sliced Pork Belly with Garlic Sauce - Tender, savory, and perfectly balanced with a garlicky sauce that wasn't overpowering. * Xiao Long Bao - Thin wrappers filled with juicy broth and flavorful pork. Definitely a must-order. * Braised Beef Noodle Soup - Rich, comforting broth with tender beef and chewy handmade noodles that really hit the spot. * Dan Dan Noodles - Creamy, nutty, and packed with bold sesame flavor with just the right amount of spice. * Mustard Green Beef Noodles - A comforting bowl with tender beef, chewy noodles, and pickled mustard greens that add the perfect tangy kick. The portions are generous, making it a great place to come with friends or family and share a variety of dishes.

I liked the crunchy texture of the bread for the Chinese burger. It's on the spicier side. The braised beef noodle soup and sautéed vegetables were my favorite.

First time trying Menya Hanabi and I can see why it's so popular! We actually came during their 7th…read moreanniversary event, so it was pretty busy. I got the spicy mazesoba and really liked it. The noodles were chewy, the sauce was flavorful, and everything mixed together really well. It was a little spicier than I expected, but still enjoyable. We also ordered the fried chicken, which was crispy outside and juicy inside. Definitely worth getting as a side. I also liked that you can add broth after finishing the noodles so you get a second way to enjoy the meal. Overall, a really good first experience. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes!

However, when it was time to pick it up, the service was very friendly and efficient. I ordered the Original Nagoya Mazesoba ($16.89 total w/ tax). Honestly, the portion was a bit small for the price, but I thought the taste would make up for it. Well, the noodles were perfectly chewy, and the sauce was tasty. It was good, but the flavor was nothing special. I honestly was expecting something more unique. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, but if I was in the area, I might try their other dishes.

So happy to see more Xi'an food popping up around SGV, especially when it's done this well. As…read moresomeone born and raised in Xi'an, the flavors here felt genuinely authentic, and I already know I'll be back. 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. Such a great addition to Arcadia and easily one of the better Xi'an spots I've tried in the area.

We had a party of 8, but they were able to accommodate us with a reservation made in advance. Also, they are halal, so it's great for eating here with friends who might have that dietary restriction. After getting seated, you scan the QR code on the table to place your order. I shared the Youpo Noodles with Fried Eggs with Tomato and the Youpo Noodles with Special Beef Paste. Both were very flavorful, and I loved the texture of the noodles. They were perfectly chewy. We got "mildly spicy," and it was just right. But be warned, I heard that ordering spicy is VERY spicy, so choose your spice level with caution! Parking can get tricky here since there's only a small parking structure, so make sure to allow extra time for that!

This place has some items that are amazing and other ones that you can just do without…read more I came here for Dine La for lunch and here's what I felt about their menu. 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. The interior of the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. It has plenty of seating, and the restrooms are very clean. Parking is kind of limited, however, so I recommend avoiding peak dinner/lunch hours. Servers were very kind and efficient.

Environment: The store location is horrible in that if you're coming from the East it is hard to access. The parking lot is horrible and with very limited space.

Everything we ate hit every flavor note you could possibly want from a great Asian restaurant. I will definitely be back soon to explore the rest of their menu!

I loved everything I got to eat from LaoXi Noodle House recently. It was worth the trek out there…read moreto try out their stir fried noodles, dumplings, and the trio appetizers. My favorite was the pork and leek dumplings. It was exactly like the ones I grew up eating in Beijing and very similar in taste and texture to what I make at home. Talk about taste of home!!! Totally nailed it. Another of my favorite was their stir fried noodles. Normally I dislike them because I feel like it has not enough chew to it. Loved the ones from LaoXi as it had not only a nice chew but the woodear mushrooms, cabbage, and the eggs nicely complimented the dish as textural contrasts. The appetizers were also delicious. I'm not a big fan of cold sliced beef but my mom enjoyed it and she loved the shredded potatoes. My favorite was the cucumber salad. Another worthy mention is how efficient and friendly the service we received. She patiently explained and recommended exactly what we would enjoy and everything hit the mark. The ambiance here is casual and family friendly. Some were dining with friends, some solo and others there for takeouts. I wouldn't mind making a trip out there just to eat their food again!

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.

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.
