To get to this place, I usually map to 653 Fairview Ave, Arcadia and park on Fairview. It's just easier because this restaurant is located on a super busy street and there's no time to just look around for parking when there's a ton of cars behind you. There's a small lot sure but I'd rather just park on the huge street side. The food in this tiny cafe is delicious. Good portion of beef. Fair prices. I hate the parking situation and the chairs aren't the most comfortable but it's so good I'm gonna come back read more

Fivefive Noodles - Beef noodle b9 I think comes with soup on the side. Delicious and filling - Noodles Near Me - Arcadia, California

Small shop, not much ambiance, nice service, good food. The Thai tea was the cutest with the bear and comes with a refill. Not too sweet but not the best compared to actual Thai restaurants. I'd skip the Thai chicken wings, it was piping hot but wasn't the biggest fan of the outer cornstarch coating. The beef stew soup was great - I enjoyed the flavor and it was a huge large portion. Probably could have shared it. My partner chose the beef stew soup less form which was ok, probably wouldn't get again. Lacked a little flavor. What really made this place stand out was the service. It was just one person working at the front and she was very quick, and generous. read more

WOWOWOW food here is Amazing! Great service, clean restaurant. Definitely a mom and pop shop, and not a chain generic restaurant. 10/10 -Steam chicken with chili oil was so flavorful and moist. 10/10 Set A breakfast- congee of the day was peanut and fish with fried dough and chow mein. By far the best chow mein Ive ever had. You can taste the wok-hei and its well seasoned. Congee was flavorful without having to add pepper 10/10 special beef noodle soup- super light broth but packed with flavor and had a lot of protein. Will have to come back to try the rest of the menu! read more

We came on Mother's Day after visiting the arboretum. Just wanted to support a local mom pop business on this special day. We were the only table dining in that day. Hopefully they receive a bit more love on normal weekends. The noodle soups were super homie and each came in a giant bowl. I loved their crab tomato noodle soup and genuinely think they have one of the best broths for that dish. Would def come back just this noodle soup alone. Next time would make sure to check out their combo and breakfast menu! read more

Stopped by on a weekend morning and was seated right away. The restaurant has a cozy, homey feel- perfect for a relaxed, casual hangout. Service was warm and attentive. Street parking is available right out front. Beef Stewed Steamed Rice Noodle- a unique Cantonese-style dish with soft, silky rice noodles topped with richly flavored beef stew. The texture combination was really interesting (in a good way). It does get a bit heavy toward the end, so it's a great option to share. I'd definitely come back for this dish! read more

We love trying mom and pops spots so decided to do takeout at FiveFive Noodles. We ordered the steamed chicken combo but sadly didn't get any rice. The person who took my order said she didn't understand that I had ordered the combo. Overall, the chicken was kinda chewy and tasted decent with the sauce. But without rice...we didn't want to finish it. We also had the wonton noodles. The stock itself was awesome but the wontons were rather dense and didn't have much flavor. Lastly, the ume plum sparkling soda the highlight, with surprisingly lovely contrast of sweet and slight saltiness (though I imagine it's a bit of an acquired taste). My kiddos both said the food was "meh", but loved the soda. read more

Food - well priced breakfast combos, we got the soy sauce chow mein, congee (the day's was salted fish), youtiao, and lemon iced tea -- all tasted pretty great overall and hit the spot for someone looking for a great breakfast in the 626 :) Service - pretty quick overall, family run Ambiance - kind of easy to miss right next to the Psychic shop next door; nice and clean shop overall the Thai tea bears look cute definitely will consider getting the drink next time! read more

Cute little noodle spot across from KFC on South Baldwin Ave. Only street parking, no parking in the back. The restaurant is clean, gets good lighting, clean, and has 6 tables. They have really cute bear thai ice milk tea with a small frozen bear on top. Our server was really friendly. Please be patient though as she was the only person serving the tables. I really enjoyed my HK beef stew. I would come back to try other items. read more

Very hospitable and quick service. The inside is homey but not too cozy. This spot is an introvert's dream. Ordered a large chicken pho via fantuan for takeout. My take- having lived in SGV and tried almost every chicken pho.... this is genuinely the best chicken pho in town. I was entranced by the succulent chicken, delicious broth, and generous portion of noodles. They gave me a packet of hoisin sauce, chili vinegar, and ginger onion sauce. At home I squeezed my own sriracha to triple dip the chicken with the hoisin. It was so good I couldn't take a picture before I dived in. Attached are my leftovers after I got full read more

Pregnancy craving for that spicy sour Guilin noodles continue! haha! I had this place bookmarked for their hot and sour rice noodle soup. It wasn't exactly the Guilin style but it was good. The flavor I was craving was there and it did not disappoint. The noodles were definitely different from the Guilin style. The Thai tea was good and wasn't super sweet. I actually tasted the tea and that's rare! If you pay cash and your bill reaches a certain amount , you get your drink comped! They also provide 1 free refill on your drink. The chili oil chicken was okay. It tasted like the Taiwanese cold dishes but with chicken. I don't normally see a chicken option in most restaurants but they typically make this with tripe and pork. The restaurant is located on Baldwin. I'm not sure if they had a parking lot in the back but I parked on the street. It's a small restaurant and has about 6-8 tables. read more

After a leisurely walk at the LA Arboretum, my friend and I were famished and in need of a cold drink and some yummy food. She suggested Fivefive because of the frozen bear drink. Turns out the food is also pretty good. My friend had the crabmeat tomato basil noodle soup and I had the five five hot and sour rice noodle soup. My friend didn't say too much about her soup except that it was pretty good, and she took the leftovers home. I enjoyed the hot and sour rice noodle soup (4/5). It was good and had strong flavors that made this soup so easy to eat. The soup is spicy but not overly so and it was definitely sour and had strong Chinese herbal taste that I loved. My friend was thrilled with her frozen Thai tea bear (4/5) and I ended up getting a Ume soda (4/5) (which was salted plum in soda water). I liked that our server suggested we take a glass of Thai tea to go with the bear. Service was friendly and efficient. The restaurant is all white and very clean. The restaurant had a steady crowd so I think this is a popular little place to grab a bite. Parking is street. Due to construction on the sidewalk, it was a bit confusing where parking was ok and where it wasn't. But that should not deter anyone from checking out this cute little noodle cafe. I'll be back!

Fivefive Noodles - Hot sour noodle soup - Noodles Near Me - Arcadia, California

Quaint noodle shop with hearty noodle soups and kind employees. Perfect for brunch or when you need to satisfy your noodle cravings. I love ordering the house special noodle soup with half egg noodle half rice noodle to get the best of both worlds. We usually park on the street and sometimes have to walk for a minute or two if all of the spots are taken (which they sometimes are, because Garden Cafe is next door and gets busy around brunch time too). Overall, a tasty noodle spot with flavors that remind me of home. I recommend giving it a shot if you haven't already! read more

Fivefive Noodles - Noodles Near Me - Arcadia, California

There are two primary reasons why I like Fivefive Noodles. The first is their Hot and Sour Rice Noodle Soup. It is a bowl of sour, funky, and extremely appetizing rice noodles with a savory broth, diced pickled green beans, slivered pork, bamboo, egg. I have no clue the cuisine this comes from but it ranks as one of the best things I've ever eaten and crave it constantly. This is an acquired taste. My husband thinks this bowl of soup is one of the most pungent things he's ever smelled but I adore it. The other is their Thai Iced Tea. You can usually get this free if you are with a group and spend enough. Sometimes they give it for free if you pay cash. The tea is good, but the selling point is the ice cube shaped like a teddy bear made out of frozen Thai Tea. Who can resist? I think the owners might be Cantonese/Vietnamese because there are a lot of those influences on the menu. The House Special Noodle is a lot like Hu Tieu. The Crab and Tomato Rice Noodle is Bun Rieu. Crispy Chicken is Ga Roti. And of course, they have both Chicken and Beef pho. read more

We usually dine in but FiveFive is now doing a to-go dinner service(flier says Tuesday-Sunday), which is perfect for a Sunday evening when we want something good but don't want to cook or go out. We ordered the beef stew with rice and grilled pork and rice. Delicious as always. Also Added an ice lemon tea for $1. read more

This is a small family run restaurant with only half a dozen tables. Young mom waits on the tables while dad does the cooking inside the kitchen. It's a Saturday and an elementary age girl (around 4th grade) helped mom to clear the tables. The restaurant is clean and the food is delicious! They have the cutest ice bear Thai Tea and it comes with a refill (at the restaurant or take it to go)! We will definitely return and support this small business!!! read more

A little hole in the wall, easily overlooked because it's on a busy street! Tried the house special noodles with all the fixings. t was delicious, the soup was clean and fresh. My aunt tried the chicken noodles, it was also very good, chicken was tender and moist. We also had their breakfast special, the soy sauce noodles were very good, it wasn't dry like other places. We really enjoyed it! We'll be back very soon since this is the closest place to us with viet/hk/chiu chow noodles! read more

Stopped by on a Sunday morning to try out a new place and found this quaint little restaurant surprisingly delicious. When you step into the restaurant it feels like stepping into someones kitchen/ living room. Cartoons playing on the tv. Kids sitting at tables with their families enjoying a Sunday breakfast/brunch. It's a mom and pop and had a cozy feel about it. Got the fried chicken rice and wonton soup and they hit the spot. Rice was delicate and chicken fried lightly paired with some light broth. Staple comfort food including porridge and fried chinese donuts are always a go to. The restaurant even sent us home with their adorable Thai tea Bear drink. A cozy place to grab some casual eats. Yum! read more

A cute small restaurant on the busy streets of Baldwin Ave. It's really easy to miss this spot. They have less than 10 tables from what I remember. They don't have parking available but there was street parking right outside when we got there. The menu looked really good and I wanted to order everything honestly. Lol. I really enjoyed the house special rice noodle. It was packed with a lot of ingredients and you can taste the goodness in there. We also got the fried pork dumplings which had corn inside which I've never had such dumplings before. The crabmeat tomato basil noodle soup was a bit bland imo. Tastes a little watered down and not a lot of things in the soup. Also, if you spend $49 and pay with cash, you get a free cute cup of Thai bear milk tea. That was sooooo good. Service was great and they were attentive. We had small talk with the waiters and a laugh in there haha. read more

It's a rainy day in LA making it perfect for comforting noodle soups! We started off with their crispy and delicious pan fried shrimp & corn pork dumplings.

Love how it comes with a free refill! read more

*This was for a to go order* I ordered the #5 special noodle with thin noodles (I think it's called Hu Tieu in Vietnamese) and it was just ok. Came out to almost $17 and the portions were just ok. Overall it tasted fine, but I think for the price I probably wouldn't return. Located on Baldwin so it's a busy Main Street and easy to miss. Had to loop around twice. Overall service was fine, inside had a few tables, looked relatively new. read more

Stopped by following a recommendation by a friend and I do have to say, my stomach was well satisfied. Ordered the crabmeat tomato basil noodle soup, five five hot and sour rice noodle, and steamed chicken with chili sauce. First off, the steamed chicken with chili sauce was good, although I have to say that the chili sauce is very reminiscent of the lao gan man chili sauce (if not the same). Chicken was tender and savory and was enjoyable. I tried a little of the tomato basil noodle soup and although good, I would have enjoyed it slight more if the flavor was stronger since it was a bit light for my taste. The five five hot and sour rice noodle, however was the standout. In comparison, each bite satisfied each of my taste buds. It does have a moderate sour taste (hence the name) so if you're one who avoids such flavors, this may not be the best option for you. However, definitely still worth a try if you can. The interior is a bit small and service can be a bit slow at times since there's only one person working in the front (at least during the time I was there - on a weeknight around 7 p.m.). Parking can also be a challenge since there's no designated lot so you'll have to park on the street. Give it a try! read more

I was excited to try this restaurant as their menu lists some of my favorite noodle dishes. However, the taste was not up to par. It was very mediocre and lacking flavor. I think if you're in the area and looking for a quick meal for a decent price, this place is a considerable option, but I wouldn't recommend it if someone asked me. We ordered their chicken noodle & house noodle. My friend said the house noodle was very bland which is odd because it's their house special. Or maybe we came on an off day. The dining space is small and the staff looked overworked. The table next to me had to stand up and yell at the waitress to request for the bill. He yelled 3x before he caught her attention.. read more

Cute spot a couple of doors down north of Garden Cafe. It's easy to miss because the signage is on the street level but it's there. We got two large bowls of noodles and the portions were very, very generous. The brown chicken with chicken gizzard and liver was delicious. The broth is perfectly light and the chicken and the innards very well made. In fact, dare I say, this tasted better than most pho ga I've eaten around the SGV. The chicken and innards just tasted fresh and well-seasoned. Also had the large special beef rice noodles which equivalent to a pho dac biet. It was massive and I was stuffed. The broth was delicious and not filled with MSG (no post-meal thirst). I got their famous Thai ice bear milk tea which is Thai iced tea topped with a frozen piece of the tea in the shape of a bear. For $5.99, it comes with refills. I'll admit I got this drink because it was cute but it turned out to be the best Thai iced tea I've ever had. I rarely order it because I often find restaurants and boba shops make it way too sweet (or diluted if I ask for less sugar). The one here is strong, creamy and not very sweet. Literally perfect. If I wasn't so stuffed and if it wasn't $5.99 a pop, I would've had more of it. Can't wait to come back to try more of their menu options in the near future. The restaurant is rather small with only 5 or 6 tables for parties of up to 4 but service was quick and attentive. They are a very popular spot for takeout as traffic was steady with people picking up their orders on a weekday lunch hour. If you spend over a certain amount, you can take a complimentary drink with you on your way out - either a lemon iced tea or Thai iced tea depending on the amount spent (as of Jan 2024). read more

Absolutely ecstatic I stumbled into this place looking for some pho. Although it's not advertised as such on their menu, but it's there!!!! Now here's the truth... walking back to the restroom you get to see the magic happening. I saw the largest stock pot full of delicious hunks of beef and vegetables slow cooking to make that fantastic broth. Service was great, attentive and responsive to our needs. Cute place with a small dining area. Come with a full belly because portions are large and the prices are fantastic. read more

This place is definitely NOT 5 star worthy especially being in the SGV area where there are way better & way more flavorful spots. Food here is comparable to BMC, low quality and simple. Price wise and taste wise BMC still beats fivefive noodles by a long shot. Had I known they "try" to do fusion Viet noodle soups, I would've ate at a legit pho spot better. And let's be honest I came here for the Thai milk tea bear which they didn't have and it took them 20 mins after placing my order to let me know. Wish the waitress told me that sooner. Btw their milk tea is the worse I've ever had, watered down, tasteless with no creamy texture. Store bought premade bottled Thai tea is way more superior. Service is molasses slow, took 30 minutes just to get our Thai teas! While almost every table that came after us got their drinks. Hard pass, there is wayyyy better fusion spots around! Also, this place is tiny, so tiny that you won't even see it driving by, which is a good thing. Just keep driving you aren't missing anything! read more

Found this place on yelp and got to try it today with my coworkers. What stood out for me was the cute Thai tea with the bear ice! So CUTE!!! ***This review is for To-Go only. *** Located on Baldwin Ave. Right next to Garden Cafe. Small little restaurant. Very clean and new. We all ordered the House Special Rice Noodle. I believe it's Chiu Chow style noodles. Flavorful, savory and decent portions. BUT! Small order costs $15 and its a $1 more for large. I ordered a large because i wanted to see what difference it is. I regret ordering a large because the bowl looks exactly the same. I feel like I got ripped off the extra money. I had to call the restaurant back to ask them which bowl was large because they all look same! Same amount of pieces of meat and shrimp (i have photos for reference) the only difference was the bowl was a tiny bit taller. Got to try the cute Thai tea with the ice bear. Just a typical thai tea but don't think its worth the $6 for it. Overall, the food was good and service was quick and nice people. read more

Cute small restaurant next to Garden cafe. Service was great, they cleaned the table and closed the drapes so the sun wasn't in my face when I ate. The Thai ice tea is super cute with the bear on top but it lacked flavor. Not pictured is lemon tea which I liked more than the thai tea. Maybe just too much ice or not sweet enough for the Thai tea. The chiu chow noodles were good and flavorful. The spicy sour noodles were good as well and you can choose the level of spiciness. The chili oil chicken was the best dish and my favorite. The burn of the sauce with slight sweetness was fantastic. Overall good spot for a quick dinner. read more

We don't usually venture out to Arcadia to eat, but my brother was craving noodles so we decided to try this place out. It's a very small and cozy restaurant with about 6-7 tables. I don't think they've been open for very long and I think they're probably most popular for their Thai iced tea with the Thai tea bear on top... so of course we had to try that! Here are the noodle dishes we tried: - Crabmeat tomato basil noodle soup - House special mixed noodle - Chicken noodle soup with egg noodles - Rice noodles with brown chicken and gizzards I don't think I've had soup noodles like this before and it included some things I don't usually eat (i.e. blood, gizzards, etc.). It might not be for everyone but it's worth trying. The texture of the egg noodles really stood out to me. The egg noodles were wider than what I normally had and I liked them a lot more than the rice noodles. Although the Thai tea is obviously very cute, it's actually probably some of the best tasting Thai tea I've had. It was super flavorful but not overly sweet, which is hard to find. You get a free refill, and when you're finished and the bear has melted a bit it's kind of like having Thai tea shaved ice. There's a parking lot in the back, but can be easy to miss especially since the street can be kind of busy. Parking lot is also pretty small but we managed to grab a spot. Overall I don't think I would go out of my way to come here again because this isn't personally my go-to food choice, but it's definitely worth a try. Service was also really great! read more

I came on a Saturday at noon time for lunch. There was a wait but I was next in line. The place is very small only 6 tables of 4. It's north of the Garden Café. They have a small parking lot in the back or street parking. I had this place bookmarked for a while since I was attracted by their teddy bear thai tea. I actually had no expectations for the food, only the drink but boy was I wrong. We ordered the Brown Chicken and gizzard rice noodle, house special with rice noodle and the teddy bear thai tea. Both noodle soups were packed with flavor. I read a review that the flavors are bland but I found the flavors were strong yet they didn't use msg. No idea how they did it but it was really good. The chicken was soft and tender and served with the green onion ginger sauce. The teddy bear thai tea was also really good. It was not over sweeten like most places. It came with one refill which was nice. Service was ok. We had to ask for refills and the check but that's normal for Chinese places. They also offered freebies like an ice tea or a thai tea if you order over a certain amount of money and pay in cash. We only had 2 people so we didn't meet the spending minimums but if you come in a group of 3 or 4 you can easily meet the minimums. I will be back again. read more

Fivefive Noodles - Noodles Near Me - Arcadia, California

I ordered the Beef Stew Noodle (B5), my friend got (E5) House Special Soup, and my other friend ordered the Panfried Dumplings. We also got 2 Thai Iced Bear teas. The 2 soups were outstanding! Delicious broth, lots of meat, and plenty of noodles. Not greasy either. My friend didn't like her dumplings, though, hence the deducted star. The dumpling filling had corn in it and the flavor was lacking. Our Thai iced teas were so cute. I would've liked it to be more creamy, but the 1 free refill is good especially since they're about $5 each. We did get one free since we paid cash and our bill was more than $50 (Yelp special). Parking is hidden at the back if you don't find a spot on the street. This is a quaint little restaurant, but I do see us going back again. Friendly staff too. read more
