Hollywood Noodle House is one of the hidden gems in SGV. When you're craving Thai food, and don't feel like driving all the way to Thai Town in Hollywood, this is the best place to enjoy authentic Thai food! My favorites: -Spicy catfish -Fried wonton -Fish cake -Khao Soi -Pineapple fried rice -Crispy pork fried rice Their Khao Soi is one of the best. The owner is a native of Chiang Mai, and I'm so happy that she's cooking her family recipe of this classic Northern Thai noodle soup! The service is friendly. Street parking is available, and there's additional parking in the back as well. read more

This place has good tasting food, the flavors are correct and sharp. I can't give this place a solid 5 as I am more picky with the texture of foods. For Khao soi, I prefer if the item is more wet noodle and soupy. The way it is here, their best item, is that it is partially deep fried and just enough broth to soak the noodles in, after a few minutes it becomes more of a pasta with a thick curry rather than a Khao soi I prefer (think ramen like). The panang Curry tasted good, I just prefer it a bit thicker. It does feel watery until you let it soak into the rice, just not my preference. The pad kee mao was tasty, I thought the texture and balance was just right. Overall, if I were to come again, I would get their flat rice noodle dishes. I have preferences with texture on thai dishes. Overall though, the taste and pricing is good, I cannot ding them that harshly for my preference, 4 stars! read more

My first time here at Hollywood Noodle House in Arcadia. It truly feels like a hidden gem in the area. This small restaurant serves comforting and incredibly delicious Thai food that deserves much more attention. Generous portions at very reasonable prices. Every dish is packed with bold, rich flavors that feel homemade and full of love. I was blown away by how flavorful and well-executed each one was. The Khao Soi was rich and comforting, the Beef Massaman Curry was deep and aromatic, and the House Fried Chicken, which is marinated overnight, was incredibly flavorful and crispy. We also tried the Prik King, Poh Tak Seafood Pot, and many other dishes that were just as impressive. Every plate showed the care and authenticity behind the food. Hollywood Noodle House delivers quality Thai cuisine and flavors that truly stand out from many other Thai restaurants. If you're in the SGV and love Thai food, this is definitely a spot worth supporting. read more

Great experience at Hollywood Noodle House! I haven't been here in a long while, probably well over a year. I ordered the Hollywood Noodle Soup, you get to choose chicken or pork and I chose chicken. Medium spicy, with thin rice noodles. It was a delicious dish, and I completely finished my bowl and I'm happy and full! It was topped with two fried wonton skins, which added a delicious crunch. Also, great service. I'm happy to support this small business and would recommend you come and try it out! I will be back! read more

I've eaten here three different times and have thoroughly enjoyed every experience. The boat noodles, Khao soi and duck curry were amazing! Everything tasted fresh and flavorful!!

Lovely neighborhood restaurant under new ownership but still a local family owned business! Friendly service, fresh ingredients, fair portion and very reasonable price. They have a huge space and is good for group lunch or parties, or maybe a school fundraiser event. The owners are super nice and wanted to give back to support the community. read more

Been here several times over the years, but first time I noticed they participated in DineLA, so we took a short drive here. This review is based on one recent visit only since the owner told me they took over the business a year ago. The interior is spacious and clean. There's a small kiddy foosball table too. Classy lounge music doesn't really fit the Thai vibe is still nice. DineLA menu: We got tofu and vegetables, papaya salad with sticky rice and fried bananas. All were served in a single plate. Another item was Hollywood grilled chicken, chicken skewers, jasmine rice and fried bananas, also in a single plate. The chicken skewers were served with a dollop of peanut butter. One piece of tender, another was dry. The grilled chicken. He said it's chicken breast, but I got a leg quarter, served with a sweet & spicy sauce. Without it, the meat was bland. We also ordered Drunken Noodles (pad kee mao) with chicken. The menu was a bit misleading so the chicken was an extra charge. Other Thai places include some kind of protein. Unfortunately the chicken was dry and tough and the noodles didn't have that hot fire wok taste. The service was very friendly and personable. But for me, the food didn't wow me. I hope they do well because I'm always rooting for a family owned business. read more

Ordered Doordash and got the Beef Pad See Ew because they were having BOGO deal so it was only $29 including tips/taxes for 2 orders! The Pad See Ew was decent. There was a lot of beef and it was very tender. The vegetables were ok since it seemed to consist of a lot of broccoli stems instead of actual broccoli. The noodles were very flavorful and not too greasy. Overall, it was not bad but I probably wouldn't purchase it again at full price. read more

Redemption! I saw they were offering a DineLA menu, and since this location has changed ownership, I wanted to give them another shot after my disappointing experience last time. I'm glad I did. They've clearly cleaned up the place, dining in is now much more comfortable and noticeably cleaner. Service was solid as well. We were consistently checked on and asked how everything was. Overall, the food was good, especially for DineLA. From the menu, I tried the following: Fish Cake - Simple but tasty appetizer. Nothing fancy, but enjoyable. (4/5) Hollywood Wonton - Crispy, well-fried, and flavorful. Pretty good overall. (4/5) Pineapple Fried Rice with Chicken & Grilled Prawn - Surprisingly delicious. Simple, comforting, and packed with flavor. Probably my favorite dish of the night. (4.5/5) Crying Tiger with Sticky Rice - Tasty and straightforward. My only complaint is that the beef portion was pretty limited, and it's not a dish that leaves you feeling very full. (4/5) Fried Banana - This was a bit different. It was banana fried in a eggroll wrapper. It tasted good and was crispy though! (4.5/5) Overall, I'm glad I gave this place another chance, it's miles better under the new ownership. Definitely worth a try if you're craving Thai food in Arcadia. read more

Service was excellent as ever, always consistent. Never rushed and always caring. 10/10 Food was on point as ever, as I've been saying in my previous reviews, best boat noodle outside of Thai town. Very rich and flavorful broth, along with a decent serving of meats and garnishes. 9/10 The crunchy tofu is like any other deep fried tofu, it's a 7/10, good. I can't get enough of this place! read more

Oh, Khao Soi, you've got me out here going around trying all these Thai spots just to eat you again. I'm basically on a mission at this point. Glad I did though, because I wouldn't have found this place otherwise. Their Khao Soi is really good and super flavorful curry with very tender chicken. I also ordered the Ka Prao and it was delicious too. read more

We have been here twice this month for lunch. The first time we got water & tableware quickly but the second time we had to wait a while. Nevertheless, the food was fresh & tasty. We have tried Prik King, Khao Soi with tofu, Yen Ta Fo, Rad Na & Fish Cake. We enjoyed every dish, but my favorite was Khao Soi, & the presentation was catchy. Lunch specials are available on the weekend, and for an additional $3, you get a Thai Tea which is not overly sweet. The space is simple, roomy & clean. It was relatively quiet (not busy) both times we ate there. Our server was polite & attentive. She never let Hubby's glass of water fall below halfway. If you can't find street parking out front, there is a parking lot in the back. This just might become our go to Thai restaurant. read more

Stopped by here to try their Thai food and was pleasantly surprised. The place had the vibe like you were dining at your Thai aunt's kitchen. Our server was busy wearing different hats all evening and was incredibly kind to all of his customers. He graciously gave us a complimentary Thai iced tea that was delicious! Although we stopped here for their pork jerky, it wasn't our favorite. We collectively felt it wasn't as crispy as we usually like but still enjoyed it. The crab fried rice was yummy with generous crab meat. My favorite was the Spicy Ka Prao Tofu dish and beef pad se ewe. read more

Was craving Thai food on a weekday evening, and came across Hollywood Noodle House on Yelp. I've actually driven by multiple times, but I don't think I've ever tried it out. They're located on Live Oak a few stores down from Savers. There's a small lot in the back for parking. We were actually the first customers of the night and the restaurant was empty when we got there, but more customers came after us, and there was a steady flow of people picking up their takeout orders while we dined in. We were able to talk to the owner, who told us that he had recently taken over and was revamping the menu and the interior dining room. He shared with us that while he's Chinese, his wife is Thai and the brains behind the recipes that they have on the menu. He threw in two drinks on the house, which was incredibly kind. The coffee was good, but I enjoyed the Thai tea more. Not too sweet, super refreshing! Thai papaya salad - $12.95, super refreshing and fulfilled my craving. Papaya was shredded with carrots, peanuts and green beans, and had a side of cabbage. The acidity was perfect, and not too sour. Tom Yum noodle soup - $15.95, came with the option of chicken or shrimp. There was a good amount of rice noodles and chicken, but not much in the soup itself. Loved the flavor of the tom yum but felt it was slightly on the pricier side. Yellow curry - $10.95 plus added protein of chicken $3.99. This came with a side of rice. The curry was not too spicy despite us ordering medium heat. Good amount of potatoes and carrots - flavor was strong and the dish itself was hearty. Overall, great new update to this Thai place! Owner was friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back to try some more items! read more

Hollywood Noodle House is one of those rare spots where the food feels like it came straight out of someone's family kitchen instead of a restaurant line. You can literally taste the authenticity in every bite. Rumor has it there's a Thai grandma in the back running the show, and honestly... the flavors confirm it. The noodles are rich, comforting, and packed with that deep, soulful seasoning that only comes from real home cooking. Nothing feels watered down or "tourist-friendly." It's bold, fragrant, and unapologetically authentic. If you're craving Thai food that tastes like someone's grandma made it with love (and probably a little bit of secret magic), Hollywood Noodle House is the spot. read more

TL;DR: Khao Soi was really good. Service is good but food took long to get due to being a small place probably. We were looking for Kelso because we are so into that right now found this place on yelp and people were saying how good it was so we had to try it location is tucked in a small strip mall and when we got here at 5:50 and we were the only ones here so a little apprehensive to go in Service was good and we got sat down with menus and waters immediately. Order the Khao Soi with chicken and also a spicy tofu dish with ground chicken and basil with a side of rice. Also got two Thai iced teas. The cow soy was really good even the presentation was kind of cool. They use some dry noodles to elevate some chopsticks to look like it was floating in air. The spicy tofu and chicken with basil was really good too, but it is almost like a Chinese dish. The food was good, but I would have to say the drawback is that the kitchen is pretty slow. The server many times had to say sorry the food is taking so long to multiple tables while we were there and had to apologize. Not his fault but thinking that this place is really small. Maybe the kitchen is not prepared to start cooking immediately. It has people enter. The food is good small little restaurant I would say kind of a mom and pop, but the speed of the food coming to you could be better. I would come back though. read more

How have I never left a review for this place yet? I've been here so many times and ordered take out from here pretty often too. This place is dang good and underrated. And the owners are so nice. We used them for catering for my baby shower once. They were so good on the follow up too. Anyways the sauce in the beef salad and the pad thai is straight up crack to me lol. It's so savory and tangy and delicious. The papaya salad with crispy pork is also fire. I've never been disappointed with the curry. Or anything I've ordered from here really. I think it's better than some of the other more popular Thai places in the area. I really think it's a hidden gem. read more

I came to this place last night with my wife for dinela and we were caught by surprise. This small mom and pop place had some really good food. Not to mention the great service from the guy. The dinela food all being served at once was a nice twist also. I like eating all my food at once, so that works for me. I had the crying tiger, fish cake, thai donut and shrimp fried rice on the side. All the food was really delicious. The wait was around 15 minutes. So please give this place a try, because it's a new favorite for me. read more

Really enjoyed my meal here. The ambience was clean, relaxed, and welcoming, making it a comfortable place to sit down and enjoy Thai food. We ordered the pork larb salad, papaya salad, chicken wings, and a curry soup. The pork larb was flavorful with a great balance of lime, herbs, and spice. The papaya salad was fresh and crunchy with the perfect sweet-sour kick. The chicken wings came out crispy and juicy, and the curry soup was rich, aromatic, and very comforting. Service was friendly and attentive, and the food came out at a good pace. Overall, a solid spot for Thai food with fresh flavors and a pleasant dining atmosphere. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes. :) read more

This place is our favorite Thai restaurant in SGV, warm atmosphere and staffs are friendly as always. This time we ordered pork jerky, it's our favorite appetizer. For the main dish, I tried Hollywood Pad Thai, was very tasty, big portion, the noodles were perfectly cooked, big shrimp mixed with their secret sauces. also my husband ordered Duck noodles, he said the duck meat is soft and the soup was really nice well balanced taste. There are more our favorite dishes that we like such as Pad see ewe, basil fried rice, pineapple fried rice and Tom Kha or Tom yum soup that we always order for to go too. read more

A hidden gem in Arcadia! Went for a galentines dinner- they are currently offering a special menu that is available through April, as well as the Valentines special. Food was solid . Pad Thai was delicious and sweet, it'd be perfect with some more sourness to it with the addition of lime. Ka Prao was so good and spicy! I enjoyed the balance of the spice, texture, and the crunchy bell peppers. Crab rangoon was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The mango sticky rice here is the best I have ever tried!! Totally recommend!! The rice was served hot and the mango was sweet. We loved it so much! Service was top notch! I accidentally spilled water and the man serving us was so kind to offer us a new table. He was super sweet and accommodating. The space and ambiance was nice too. Parking is easy! Would love to come back for their lunch specials! read more

My parents and sister had raved about this place and I wanted to try it myself, so they agreed to go with me again the following week! The owner was so nice, friendly, and welcoming. The restaurant is a good size and very clean. The food was absolutely amazing! We had no leftovers to take home. We left full and happy. They have Chiang Mai style food. Restaurants rarely have khao soi and I was so happy they did. Parking street in front or behind. Definitely looking forward to the next time I'll get to go back! There's so much more I need to try. read more

I've driven by this spot a few times and finally stopped in. We were the first ones in for dinner and were warmly greeted by the owner, who was incredibly kind and even gave us Thai tea on the house (great flavor and not too sweet). The restaurant is clean and also great for larger groups. I remembered reading a few reviews saying the food could come out slowly, but that definitely wasn't the case for us. Everything came out at a nice pace, and you can tell they put a lot of care into each dish. We ordered the Khao Soi with chicken, Tom Kha wth shrimp, and the Hollywood Pad Thai. All of them were delicious, but the Pad Thai ended up being my favorite. read more

Wow -- blast from the past. the last time i step foot in this restaurant was back in early 2000. and now 20 yrs later... i revisited Hollywood Noodle House with a friend and it brought back so many memories. I met up with my friend for dinner yesterday and was greeted by a friendly staff and later learned that he's the owner. His wife is Thai and they take turn watching the restaurant. The owner was very nice when I entered the restaurant, i think he knew the weather was scorching hot outside so he quickly brought me a cup of ice water and then later asked me if the AC was okay. he went to turn the AC higher to cool the restaurant down. when my friend couldn't find the item from the menu we asked if he can customize one of the soups and he was very nice about it and told us that since the restaurant is slow today he was sure the kitchen can recreate the dish that my friend once had there. we were both very grateful for that. i ordered my go to Thai dish which was the drunken noodle and it was great! i loved my medium spiced drunken noodles. prices are way more affordable than so many other Thai places. while catching up with my friend the owner gave us each a Thai Iced Coffee on the house - super nice of him. overall our food was delicious. with so many restaurants opening up in the surrounding city / area it's hard to keep up which place to try, which place to return to. And i'm glad my friend brought me back to Hollywood Noodle because this is a restaurant that was forgotten in my mind. and it is tucked in a very small quiet strip mall where it's very easy to be missed. i hope this review will bring in new customers to give this place a try to support a mom-pop shop or to bring back old customers who were once a high school student or a college student to bring their family to give this place another chance or nostalgia. read more

This place is truly a hidden gem. One of the better tasting Thai restaurants in town. They offer daily specials on certain dishes for only $10! I stopped by on a Friday and it was boat noodle (single serving). It was yummy and packed with flavor. I got spicy and it was the perfect level of kick. Tempted to try the Thai spicy next time. I also tried the Tom yum with shrimp (a little salty but still good), sweet and sour fish, and lard na. I'm looking forward to coming back soon to try other dishes! Street parking in front or rear.

The Khai Soi is incredible. It is one of the best I've had in southern California, better than chiang rai in Long Beach, better than Manaao in Tustin. Yes, it really is that good. The owner is sweet, she let me in on the secret that, while they follow a strict recipe for the Khao Soi, it is best on the weekends because a 70 year old grandma makes it. It's all in the pinch of experienced hands. The floating chopsticks is gimmicky, but the taste is the real deal. Best Khao Soi, ever. read more
