    Spicy beef noodle
    Brian P.

    Would give a 1.5 if I could. Peanut celery salad left a lot to be desired. Had 2 bites only: 1 to taste and 1 to confirm that it wasn't for me. Didn't touch the rest. Pretty annoying tbh. Spicy beef was incredibly bland. Despite the meat being cooked well the whole thing was downright disappointing. Borderline offensive, actually. Never coming back, and it's best if you avoid this place too.

    Tried this place on a whim, first time we dined in and since then have ordered take out many other times. Our go-to favorites are the Oil Splash Noodles (wide flat noodles/spicy), Dan Dan noodle, Pork belly w/ garlic, Xiao long boa, & braised pear drink. The noodles are hand pulled and the quality of food is excellent. The restaurant is very clean and staff very friendly and super efficient. Plenty of parking in the center.. You really can't go wrong with this place.

    涼皮 - cold noodle
    Scarlett H.

    I've heard about the famous LAN-Zho noodles for quite some time, and finally made the trip to this place. It was indeed authentic, and indeed delicious! That said, this is the opposite of Americanized Chinese food so don't expect tastes like Panda Express here! The Lan Noodle is definitely their best! You have the option to order from half a dozen different kinds of noodles, kind of like an Italian restaurant offering different types of pasta with the same sauce. Fun and interesting. But the cold skin noodle (Liangpi) has a wonderful and unique texture and taste. It's great for a hot day. We also tried their Chinese burgers, but we're not so impressed. I think I will stay with noodles. Grey prices! For under $20, you get enough protein and carbs to fill you up, and maybe some to take home. Chinese restaurants are not known for their service, but this place is quite adequate. They're prompt and efficient, but don't expect them to endear you.

    Oil splash noodle and dan dan noodle with cucumber side
    Rebecca T.

    Pretty solid hand-pulled noodles! Got the oil splash noodle and dan dan noodle, along with cucumber side. There was also a BOGO free promotion for each dish, which was a steal! Delivery was fairly quick, and we were soon ready to dig in. The oil splash noodle was doused in chili oil and absolutely decadent; the biang biang noodles were thick and delicious. Only wished that we'd opted for spicier, as we'd just gone with mild. The dan dan noodles were my favorite, rich in sesame paste, yet had a surprisingly-strong Sichuan peppercorn kick! Definitely a numbing, tingling sensation, but I enjoyed it. Cucumbers were light on sesame oil, so I wish more was added, but the perfect, crunchy side dish to cool off from the spicy noodles. Overall, decent hand-pulled noodle shop. While nothing too mind-blowing, (especially compared to other noodle spots in town), it certainly did the trick for a take-out dinner!

    BRAISED BEEF NOODLE红烧牛肉面, SPICY BEEF NOODLE麻辣牛肉面
    Rebecca N.

    Saw this place on social media so wanted to give it a try, since good Chinese food is so hard to come by in West LA. I definitely would not come back as the food was just not good, portions are tiny, and service was not great. The beef noodle soup was probably some of the worst I've had. The noodles were abnormally thick and long, there was almost no flavor, and there were barely any noodles or beef in the bowl to begin with. Not sure why they were so skimpy, but we finished our food in no time and it was not filling whatsoever. Something was off about the broth as well - didn't seem super fresh. Service could definitely be improved, and the location/ambiance are just alright.

    Watermelon drink
    Sherilyn R.

    Fast food style mix with well handled noodles. No actual noodle crafting on display. Solid watermelon drink that they make in store, great option for a hot day or if you want a sweet break from spicy food. Food quality is hit or miss. Passive aggressive customer service. Got their braised chicken with triangle shape noodles - 3/5. The large braised chicken tasted okay. It tasted overcooked for the most part or used frozen chicken pieces that needs better handling to get optional flavor but still edible. The carrot and mushroom thoughtfully sliced, especially the mushroom - great work done there. And the triangle noodles mixed with the mildly spicy sauce was served on a flat dish. Again, really enjoyed the mushroom slice as it soaked in the sauce. The few carrot slices did not match well in taste with the rest of the food quality, threw the taste off. They nailed the noodle texture. This is suitable for the very casual dine/in and fast takeout. They have a good amount of clean space for large groups and small groups. Overall they are fast, the customer service leaves much to be desired personally but they are seemingly polite with the other diners & take out. As someone that grew up eating authentic Chinese food, this is in between Panda Express and the authentic Chinese food. Restroom? Yes, but didn't use it so I don't know what it is like. Parking? Yes, paid; plenty of paid parking in the garage below which will automatically scan your license plate and you pay via QR code available near the elevators (and all over the garage).

    Dan dan noodles, spicy oil splash noodles, and pork belly

    Ordered their doordash bogo promo. Got 2 dan dan and 2 spicy oil splash noodles and some pork belly. It was excellent. The chew on the noodle was great. Each noodle was super long and the portions were good. We saved the extra 2 noodles for tomorrow because this was enough for a family of 3.

    Scallion Oil Noodle
    Rose E.

    Service was excellent! Xiao Long Bao was just okay. Two of the dumplings did not contain any soup. The noodles were excellent! The aromatics were so inviting! Overall, I would return.

    XLB Dumplings.

    Awesome food. Very friendly and accommodating staff. The area under construction for now, but that's not their fault.

    Mustard Green Beef Soup
    Tim L.

    Lan Noodle is one of those places I keep in my back pocket when showing friends around LA, cold days, or when I'm simply craving good Chinese noodles. The staff are always super quick and friendly, the restaurant has ample seating (I've never had to wait for a table), and the food is fantastic. Be warned that they unfortunately do not have a bathroom, though. Their biggest sell for me is their house-made, hand-pulled noodles which are nicely textured and perfectly cooked in the style/shape of your choice. I tend to order their mustard green beef soup with their wide flat noodle shape. I'll have to try some of their other offerings, but can't recommend this place enough!

    Marc A.

    Home stretched noodles, parking, great service, clean...what more can you ask for? Just a great overall experience. The service was spot on! The noodles are made fresh right before your eyes and sometimes it's 3 feet long! Really! Bathrooms 9/10 Service 10/10 Food 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 Cleanliness 10/10 Will I Return? Yes

    I tried Lan Noodle via Doordash when I was in LA last year and was super impressed. I was in the area recently but intentionally wanted to eat here. I went with my sister and she was very impressed too. My noodles tasted delicious with ample sauce. The woman who served us was nice and answered questions we had.

    Lan Noodle, thin and wide noodles
    Callan K.

    I ordered the Lan Noodles for takeout through Uber Eats and enjoyed them. The noodles were just as advertised -- thin and wide. With so many different noodle options on the menu, I wasn't entirely sure which style to pick, but I was happy with my choice. The broth was light and beef-forward without being greasy, and even as takeout it arrived warm and held up well during delivery. Next time, I will definitely try to visit in person so I can enjoy the noodles fresh -- and I am looking forward to experimenting with a different style!

    This place is awesome. They offer half-size portions on the menu which is such a smart idea because…read moreyou're not locked into a full portion and can actually try a few different things. I wish more restaurants would do this. I stopped in for a quick bowl of their clear broth chicken ramen and it was seriously delicious: light, clean flavor but still really satisfying. Exactly what I wanted. I'm really not a huge fan of those heavy, creamy ramen broths that a lot of people rave about. I get the appeal but personally it just feels like artery clogging overkill for a few minutes of flavor that disappears way too fast. I much prefer a lighter, cleaner broth that you can actually enjoy without feeling weighed down afterward. They also have this matcha ramen that's limited to only 12 bowls a day which immediately caught my attention. It looked really interesting and now I'm curious enough that I'll definitely be back to try it. New favorite ramen spot in LA unlocked!

    I had dinner at Laki Ramen last night and I just love it!…read more My friend and I sat down, right as the small restaurant with indoor & outdoor seating got busy at 7pm on a Monday night. They have a small parking lot shared among many businesses if you drive over. We were warmly greeted and service was excellent throughout the entire meal. Their Karage was so juicy & plump, cut into slices rather than the nuggets you usually see. It was so incredibly delicious with tartar sauce & a chili oil served to compliment it. What makes Laki Ramen special is their Chicken Paitan/Baitang style ramen, which is rich & creamy and more importantly chicken-based. You usually only see pork-based ramens so this is a welcome change and I love having a speciality shop like this in Los Angeles. It left me feeling less heavy than with donkatsu ramens and has a few thinly sliced chicken pieces on top. I went with the Matcha Ramen which they only serve 10 of each day! But wow, was it nice and I absolutely loved it. Not to mention, the color was so pretty haha! I couldn't resist getting their Matcha Lemonade, as well, and I loved it so matcha ! That matcha lemonade is quali-tea!!! We also tried Laki's Chicken Cutlet Curry and absolutely loved it. Again, cooked perfectly in a rich and flavor-filled curry sauce. Everything we had at Laki Ramen was delicious! We agreed we'll be back and are intrigued to try their Clam Chowder Ramen! Oh and their music was fire!!! Aaliyah, TLC and Tupac!? I was loving the late 90s R&B/hiphop vibes.

I started with the house made chili oil dumplings and they were unreal. The dumplings were perfectly cooked and the chili oil with black vinegar was so good I ended up using it on everything. The staff was incredibly kind and happily gave me extra sauce when I asked. The spicy beef noodle soup was the standout. The beef was insanely tender and the broth was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat. The noodles had great texture and held up well in the soup. I also tried the Chengdu zajiang noodle and loved it. The sauce had that numbing spice and deep flavor, and the egg on top made it even better. Every bite felt intentional and well executed. The pickled cucumbers deserve their own mention. Crunchy, tangy, and full of flavor, easily some of the best I have had, even better than Din Tai Fung. On top of all that, they offer great deals after 3pm with discounted noodles and half off beer. MIAN is easily one of the best noodle spots around and I would come back without hesitation.

The service is usually pretty quick, but they do a lottt of meal-making during happy hour (3-6) so it's arguably a little slower then. The ambiance is pretty spare, with some placemats that explain mung bean soup and some lower-key Chinese decor throughout. It's a simple place, but it really does get the job done. I'll be back!

It was a little before noon and there was only one party in the whole restaurant. We got seated right away and it was by the front window for everyone to see. The menu had a lot of options and priced like all other places or I'm just getting used to the prices these days. They did have a lunch special for $20 and you can get a small pho, and then some other choices and then a drink. I couldn't tell you what the other choices were because I didn't order it. The waitress was efficient and got the job done. She did get a little overwhelmed since after 1230pm, everyone decided to grab lunch. Here's what we ordered: lunch special with small bowl of beef pho, a beef banh mi and unsweetened black tea. The hubs said that his pho was decent, the flavor was simple and didn't have that deep rich flavoring like other pho bowls he has had. The banh mi had great bread and the filling was pretty flavorful. The black tea was good. I had the build your own pho because I have to have vegetable broth but I added in chicken meatballs and shrimp. The broth was pretty tasteless so I had to add in some hoisin sauce, and sriracha. There were other condiments but I was too lazy to grab it from the other table. That helped out with the soup. The chicken meatballs were questionable as in I wasn't sure if it was chicken. There were plenty of shrimp and they added pieces of chicken. The noodles had a nice chew to them. Overall the pho was okay but it didn't hit the pho craving/spot. We also ordered pork egg rolls and they were interesting. They weren't crunchy at all. It was a bit oily and at one point, I wasn't sure if a part of it was cooked. There was more other filling than meat. The nuoc mam tasted like watered down fish sauce. I guess I was so hungry that I didn't mind it. Overall, the food was just okay. Nothing exciting to report and unfortunately I wouldn't go back.

The staff also wears gloves when handling food. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some indoor seating available with limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. I mention these things in my reviews for the sake of protecting immunocompromised people like the elderly and people sick with cancer and other illnesses. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was eating my food in this establishment several months ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The underground parking lot for this establishment is located super close to the restaurant. Each 15 min is $2.75. However customers of Uovo can get 2 hours for free with validation. And 30 min after the 2 hour mark, you get charged $2. However, after that extra 30 min cushion, you will be charged the normal rates. As mentioned by a previous reviewer / good friend of mine, scan your ticket in order to re-enter the parking garage on the right hand side. Food: My friend and I ordered the Cheese and Truffle tasting menu. I have been eating at various Uovo locations, and this was my first time here at this location. I'm a massive sucker for authentic Italian food after visiting Italy back in 2023. This restaurant chain just hits the spot every time. I love how their noodles are flown in from Italy every day. Just an FYI, all pastas were cooked al dente, which was perfect. My friend and I both ordered a glass of white wine. The Pinot Grigio paired very well with the meal. It was light, crisp, and refreshing with notes of pear, apple, and citrus. To start off with, we received a plate of yellowtail crudo. This is an elegant, Japanese-Italian fusion appetizer featuring thinly sliced delicate and buttery soft raw yellowtail in a vibrant citrus and soy dressing. Next, we received the tagliatelle in truffle sauce. I'm a MASSIVE sucker for all things truffle related. I'm just sad that it wasn't truffle season, so we didn't get any real truffle shavings on this dish. Booooo! Jk. Despite not being in truffle season, this dish was top notch. This is a luxurious, rich, silky, mouth watering, and deeply earthy Italian pasta dish. The sauce combines quality heavy cream, freshly grated Parmesan, and black truffle oil. Hands down my favorite dish here at Uovo. Moreover, we next received our pomodoro dish. The dish is exceptionally delicious, which a bright, high-quality tomato sauce. A classic Italian dish that you can't go wrong with ordering. To add on, we then got the classic carbonara. With crispy pork, a velvety and smooth sauce, and a punch of black pepper, this carbonara pasta was a rich, creamy, and a belly satisfying dish. Lastly, we ended our night sharing a tiramisu. It is served in a glass and featuring silky mascarpone, espresso, and a unique hazelnut twist. The portion is designed to be shared in a single cup. A perfect way to end a 10/10 meal. Staff: Karl and Ronaldo are both very attentive, kind, friendly, and helpful. They accept credit cards. There is no credit card minimum.

I came 15 mins to closing with a friend, and they still seated us and got our pastas out super quickly.

The prices of these dishes were also very reasonable (only around $20), which is sooo much better than a lot of other Italian places around LA that serve much more lackluster food. I also must emphasize that the service at this location is impeccable! The servers and chef were all super kind to seat us so late and still give us such delicious food. They even said they could prep the tasting menu for us, but we didn't want to make them go through a 45-minute service at the end of the night. I had an amazing time here and will be back again for the tasting menu another time! Parking can be found on the side streets and in the back for 2 hours!

    I had a great meal at Hangari Kalguksu, and I understand why it's a popular spot. On a weekday…read moreafternoon, my friend and I were given menus while we waited around 15 minutes in line. We were able to order in the line, and got our food within 10 minutes once we finally sat down. I tried their handmade clam kalgusku soup and beef bulgogi. Both portions were generous. The kalguksu was incredible comforting, with chewy, long, freshly made noodles in a rich, savory broth that was packed with clams. The beef bulgogi was also delicious. It came with a side of salad and rice. The bulgogi was tender, well-merinated, and paired well together with the sides. Great place for authentic Korean comfort food, and I would love to try their famous Bossam in the future!

    We were visiting from Seattle and stumbled on this wonderful restaurant after searching for bossam…read more We went during lunch time and we got lucky with the only handicap spot in the lot (my dad can't walk very well so we had a handicap placard). We ordered the medium bossam, galbi kalguksu, perilla seed kalguksu and spicy pork. There were 5 of us but the portions were so generous, we had enough food with some bossam left over. The bossam was amazing! The best we've tasted. We all loved the perilla seed kalguksu due to its taste and also bc it's so healthy for you. The owner came by to check how we liked the galbi kalguksu since it was a newly created dish and we told her that it was delicious, seasoned just right. Before the meal, as they brought out the side dishes, they brought out barley rice with denjang on top to mix with yeol-moo kimchi. That was a special touch. We absolutely loved the food there. I saved the info so that we can return when we visit Koreatown again in the near future. Highly recommend this place to anyone who craves exceptional Korean food.

    Food here seemed to look good but the taste was complete opposite. I think I should have gotten the…read morehint when we walked in and all the tables still had dirty dishes on the tables, but only one customer was paying. Also, he didn't clean off our table very well. I had to bust out my alcohol spray and wipe the table. Oh did I mention that chicken was left on their counter just sitting there entire we were there waiting for food and when we left. Not once did the cook touch it or move it so god knows how long thy meat has been sitting there. The xai long bao was okay in taste. I've like Trader Joe's better. And I've yet to find a place comparable to DTF. I ordered some The white fish dumpling was good, but it was missing something. Still DTF is better. For the price as well. The wonton noodle soup, was okay. Noodle was bland. The wonton tasted the same as the xao long bao. The broth was so-so. The BBQ Pork Belly Buns. Those buns were hard and one bite into the thing, I spit it out. My kid did the same thing. How in the world do you mess up BBQ Pork?! I love me some hole in the walls, but sorry I wouldn't recommend this place.

    Qi Steam Kitchen is known for its steamed dim sum and entrées, but I went fully fried for my order…read moreand have no regrets. I ordered the Taiwanese popcorn chicken with a side of rice and scallion pancakes. The popcorn chicken was very reasonably priced for the portion size and came with plenty of pieces. The scallion pancakes were priced a bit higher than I expected, but ultimately worth it. The chicken was extra crispy and well seasoned. It didn't have the familiar five-spice or cinnamon note I usually associate with Taiwanese popcorn chicken, but it was still very good in its own right. It also came with a side of sweet chili sauce, which paired well. The scallion pancakes were also a standout. Crispy on the outside, but soft, doughy, and pleasantly chewy inside without being overly oily. I would definitely order again.

It has a good amount of heat where it's not too overwhelming. Portion size is pretty generous. It's located in the Citizens Public Market so you order at the counter, grab a seat and they text you when your order is ready.

It looked great when I opened the container. It was very hard to eat with chopsticks and I finally switched to a plastic fork. It was still very hard to eat, but worth the effort. There was plenty of food with nice flavor, a little spicy with noodles thick and long, chewy, heavy, and stuck together. I could barely lift one high enough to eat, almost couldn't cut the noodle into shorter pieces. Mushrooms were large and chewy as well. The person at the counter was very helpful while my wife quizzed him on what she should eat. There are several spots for food and drink in the Citizen Public Market with some common seating. It had the feel of a rundown place that was no longer a market and not much of a food court. Bang Bang Noodles was well-staffed, clean, and you can even watch someone hand pull and loudly slap noodles on a table.
