Service is pretty quick and you order at the counter. The space itself isn't very large but they usually always have seating available.

After taking my dogs to the doggy park nearby, I decided to grab some vietnamese food. The area is…read morenostalgic to me because I used live here but I dont remember eating here much. However, I recently read their reviews and laughed that they give straight peanut butter as a dipping sauce for their spring rolls. That is a big no-no. Anywho, I was going to do takeout and drive home to eat because I had my dogs with me, but after I ordered I saw there was a table outside so I decided to stay. I ordered their salmon special with garlic noodles, spring rolls, and a vietnamese coffee. Total was $33 and I was able to split the portions for lunch and dinner. When I entered I did not speak vietnamese and neither was the employee in the front aware I was viet. After I paid and didn't leave a tip, she said something in vietnamese about either giving me a smaller portion because I didn't leave a tip or just complaining about not receiving a tip. Once I got my food and said thank you in vietnamese, the employee in the front got real quiet. Lmao I sat outside with the fur babies and enjoyed my salmon. It was flavorful but noodles were kind of dry. The spring rolls came in 2. They add avocado, tofu, and jicima in addition to other ingredients. This isn't your traditional spring roll. I can also confirm that dipping sauce is straight peanut butter with not even enough water mixed in to make the texture smooth. Its like getting a cup of peanut butter that is watery on the top and dry and chunky from the middle down. A sauce like this will not be acceptable in the vietnamese community down in Bolsa. Haha! The coffee was also only okay, didn't finish it. I dont think I would drive out of my way to eat here.

The tomato broth was also good too, very tomato, less salty than the bone broth. The girl at the cash register said she likes the mushroom soup so i'll try it another time. The owner (i think) was also there and helped describe the different soups to me. He said the mushroom flavor is strong. It's $15 per pound and i got full off of my bowl that was $11... i finished everything even the soup!!! I can't wait to come back hehe imma get more stuff so i can bring it home and eat it again. I loved the oil tofu skin and frozen tofu. I got looots of beef too! All of the veggies looked really clean and fresh (i inspected closely). I do wish that the udon and ramen came in halves instead of the whole big block. And i wish they had soup spoon cuz the soup was soooo good but i couldnt drink it as fast with the regular spoon )); but these are my only complaints. I dont care if they dont change these things because the soup is soooo good. I want to try the dry ones next time too! I'm so glad they opened here!!!!!! 10/10 would recommend :D

I've had a couple of things here and generally think that all the menu options taste good. The prices are also quite good, and the value is quite exceptional. The bags that they give take out and delivery orders in are very high quality too! It's basically a small, branded thermal tote bag. Service was okay, but nothing too special in my opinion. The restaurant wasn't very busy when I ate here, and no reservation was needed. The restaurant looked clean, new, and has a sleek, modern look. They have an open kitchen design, and you can see them making noodles from scratch in the back! If you're looking for a noodle-focused restaurant for a good value, Noodle St is a great chain. They've been expanding, and it makes a lot of sense why.

I realized after the fact that I had actually been here a couple years back, but luckily, it's worthy of its positive reviews. We ordered a pretty solid spread: pad Thai, chicken satay, a Panang pork curry, and another noodle dish that ended up being really tasty. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. No real misses in the group, which is always a win when you're ordering family-style and everyone is picking off everyone else's plates like civilized vultures. The chicken satay was a nice starter, the pad Thai was dependable and well-balanced, and the curry had good flavor. I do think it's a little odd when rice doesn't automatically come with curry, especially when there isn't really a lunch special price going on. Not the end of the world, but when you order curry, rice feels like it should be part of the team, not a free agent with a separate contract. Service was good and the food came out pretty quickly. Atmosphere-wise, it's more fast-casual than date-night destination. Clean and functional, but not a ton of ambiance. Prices are maybe a touch on the higher side for the overall setup, but the food quality helps justify it. Would I drive from OC just for this? Probably not, since we have some strong Thai options closer to home. But if you're in the Eastvale area and want a reliable Thai spot with good food and friendly service, Little Buddha Kitchen is definitely worth checking out.

Well, I finally made it back, and I'm happy to say the malatang did not disappoint. I still can't believe how much they pack into one bowl for the price. With tax, mine came to about $15. For that, I got shrimp, beef, tripe, crab, fish balls, mushrooms, bok choy, potatoes, onions, tofu, broccoli, bell peppers, sweet potato, and ramen noodles. The variety and value are incredible. I wasn't sure what combination to choose, so I simply asked the incredibly kind lady behind the counter to make it the way she would eat it. She absolutely nailed it, it was flavorful, comforting, and exactly what I was craving. If you're looking for delicious, affordable malatang with genuinely friendly service, this place is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back.

A Mother's Day win, thanks to my husband and daughters -- and Spicy Bowl made it easy…read more This was our first time ordering from Spicy Bowl, and they came through in a big way. My family placed a catering order a day in advance -- trays of fried rice, Kung Pao chicken, and orange chicken -- for my Mother's Day dinner. I wasn't there for the pickup, but from what I heard, the experience was just as good as the food. They were given an 11am pickup time and arrived a little early. The staff let them know the trays weren't quite ready yet, but rather than leaving them to wait empty-handed, they offered them Thai tea while they hung tight. My family raved about it -- apparently it was delicious. That little gesture said a lot. By the time dinner rolled around, the food had been kept warm for a while -- but you wouldn't have known it. Everything was still flavorful and satisfying. The Kung Pao chicken had just the right amount of heat and this was my personal favorite. The orange chicken was crispy with a nice tangy kick. The fried rice rounded it all out perfectly. Honestly, nothing but good things were said about that meal. Spicy Bowl turned a simple pickup order into a genuinely memorable part of my Mother's Day. We'll definitely be back.
