If you like lamb and handmade noodles, definitely give LAN Noodle a shot.

I guess it was a good thing since street parking was very limited. We got the Truffle meat lover ramen w/soft boiled egg. We also ordered a side of the house made Wagyu wontons. I like the comic on the bag. It provided a little description of the owner. Neat! When I opened the container of broth, I could instantly smell the truffle. It smelled so good!! I couldn't wait to mix it with the noodles. I m not one who likes thin noodles, but these noodles were great. So good job on the noodles. When taking a taste of the broth, I got a little disappointed. It was saltier than expected. I didn't want to ruin the original flavor, but I had to squeeze some limes. It was also a bit too oily. I know the truffle played a part in it so I am just sad about the salty part. The Wagyu wontons didn't help. The skin was fine, but the filling was super salty. Yelp photos showing Michelin 2021, 2022, 2023, & 2024. Was the quality better back in the days? I dunno, but 2026 ...SaLTY. Still a good ramen, but I might need to wait till my levels get back on track before eating it again. I didn't go in to pick up the foods, but was told that service wasn't that good...kinda lacking.

I tried coming 15 minutes before opening on a Sunday during lunch time and that helped a lot! Would recommend coming during the day if you want to avoid waits. Some of our favorites: -Chicken Kalguksu: I get this every time! The broth is amazing, have never had such a rich, flavorful chicken broth before. You can taste all the herbs, seasonings, and time they took to prepare. The broth is a little on the thicker end, but super filling. -Seafood Kalguksu: the broth is so flavorful and it comes filled to the brim with all types of seafood! The spice actually pairs really well with the seafood too. If you want a spicy stew, this is it! Noodles are thick and chewy too. -Bossam: so yummy! I wish I could get it more often but it's a huge portion, so come with a group so you can try it and the noodles! Everything is quality- the bossam slices, the lettuce, the toppings on the wide. Chefs kiss! My only small gripe is the portions are so big that when I come with one other person, we only have the stomach capacity to eat two dishes! Always excited to come back and try more.

The noodles are nice and thick with a really good chew to them, and the sauce is super flavorful and coats everything perfectly. Extremely filling, too. Also tried the cold noodles. If you're used to that super snappy, ultra-chewy traditional style, these are a bit different in texture, but the sauce flavor is so good that I still really enjoyed them. Portions and pricing are super reasonable for LA--starts around $13.95 and it was only a dollar extra to double up on the meat topping. Plus, they have a whole fridge stocked with popular Chinese drinks. I usually go for the white peach Chi Forest sparkling water, but decided to try the pineapple one this time--super refreshing and it cuts right through the rich oil sauce. Super solid spot if you're craving comforting, flavorful noodles!

Considering how well-reviewed they were, I was very underwhelmed. We found ourselves at The Grove…read moreon a Saturday night and decided to check out the Farmers Market. The Farmers Market is such a fun sight to see, with all the different restaurants to explore. I was craving something soupy that night, so I looked up a list of the best places to try at the market. Noodle Art popped up as a highly-reviewed spot, and since I always love to support good Chinese places in trendy spots, I decided to give them a try. Perhaps it's highly rated because of the limited options in the surrounding areas, but as someone coming from the San Gabriel Valley with a myriad of amazing options, I wasn't as impressed. Mediocre is the best way I could describe it. The menu options were slightly limited, but offered a good array of choices depending on whether you were in the market for something soupy, dry, or a rice dish. To start off, I will say their hand-pulled noodles were very good. The wide noodles were nicely thin and chewy, unlike some other hand-pulled noodles I've had where the dough is way too heavy. I tried the #5 with clear broth. However, the broth itself wasn't great. It had a slightly gamey flavor to it, so I'm not sure if they had cooked mutton in it, since that's another menu item they offer. I really didn't care for the clear broth. It also came with a scoop of potato and cabbage.

A great option if you want something more traditional. The staff is always nice and the service is fast, even with how busy they get.

While this may be a factor of it being delivered, the noodles were extremely mushy. Not even slightly softer than al dente, but very bloated. I could not even finish the bowl since the noodle texture made it not that great. The spiciness of the soup seemed to overwhelm the flavor of the broth itself, which was disappointing. However, the portion sizes of both the noodle soup and dumplings were great. I could tell the quality of the ingredients was high, especially with a mountain of vegetables and 3 dumplings already coming with the bowl. The dumplings were soft and honestly the star of the meal, I would've loved a specialty sauce to go with it. The kimchi was SPICY as well but tasty. I don't want to knock it down to 3 stars as I felt like it's unfair that I got takeout, but there's a chance if I'm in town again I would rather try the original kalguksu soup in person for a chance that the noodle soup is a better texture.

The food was equally disappointing. The steak was overly fatty and chewy and not rendered properly, I honestly questioned whether it was actually wagyu. The chow mein came with only four small pieces of meat, which felt unreasonable for the price. For a place positioning itself as upscale Chinese dining, the food felt bland and uninspired. I'd rather go to a local family-owned Chinese restaurant than spend $350 on mediocre food and poor service. To be fair, the manager was very nice and genuinely tried to turn things around with complimentary food and drinks, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the overall experience couldn't be salvaged. In my opinion, this place feels overhyped and carried more by influencer attention than by the actual dining experience.

Update- was really looking forward to dinner at Chubby Curry. My friends and I have patronized this…read moreplace since it opened. It was our go-to place for almost two years. We hadn't been in about 6 months and decided to drop in for dinner before a movie- Wow, has it changed- and not in a good way. There were fewer staff and they were spread thin, with not even half the tables full. The place was a little unkept. The menu is all digital- so we had some questions ordering our favorites. We got the Wagu steak with rice and curry and the breaded chicken breast. When the Wagu arrived it was unrecognizable- brown and looked over cooked - no pink. The entire dish was completely unappetizing. It was sad looking. I tried to show the server that this looked nothing like the menu photos in the front wall. He was already flustered and told me "to calm down ma'am" and that is "how it comes- we put soy sauce on it." The calm down nonsense was a real put off. My next question was, why is a restaurant putting soy sauce on perfect Wagu? None of the menu photos show soy sauce. We have never had soy sauce drenched Wagu here ever. The amount of soy sauce - if any-- is up to the guest. We all have our sodium preferences, right? I personally liked their Wagu plate as is. I tried to get the server to follow me to the front wall to show him the photo of all their Wagu dishes on their front wall and he was really not happy. Those photos were how their food always looked- fresh- colorful and delicious looking. The comparison was stunningly different- he would not hear it - and was visible upset with me. Sending this back caused quite a problem- more like an argument with the server who insisted this is how Wagu comes. It does not and I posted a review previously with photos from several visits to this once fun to eat at place. They offered to remake it and I caught the server and chef's convo. Chef was bewildered with the whole no soy sauce thing. The server came back with a small piece of Wagu in a service cup to show me what their Wagu looked like before the soy sauce bath. It was not the bright fresh pink. It was gray, like it had been prepped a couple days ago and refrigerated. Completely unacceptable and not appetizing. I told them to please not remake it. It would be a waste and please Just remove it and we'd order something else. The server was so upset with me he told me he would remove everything and not charge us at all. I felt that was unfair to the restaurant and his attitude was like don't order anything, and do not come back. My guy friend insisted that we pay and the server came back with a bill for just the chicken. I gave him cash for everything we ordered including the Wagu, and he brought me almost all the money back. I was particularly insulted by this. This was such negative energy- I did not want to touch it. I left all the money on the table and left. Message to the owner- replacing servers with digital menus does not lessen their work. it increases their time explaining what dishes are and how dishes come. You need more people because servers have more work in less time. I really felt for this server and did not feel any of this was his fault. The quality drop in food, the excess work due to digital menus, and food not matching the promises made in photos at the front wall from opening day are not your server's fault. We were expecting the same consistency and were sadly disappointed. We will not be returning.
