    I ordered the signatures summer noodle salads and the crispy pancakes with beef This is a small, casual spot with only two or three tables, so it seem like most customers order takeout. The cold noodles tasted pretty good, with a nice sesame flavor and the portions were quite generous. The crispy pancakes with beef were also tasty and satisfying. Overall, it's a simple little place with good food and friendly service. A nice option if you're craving quick and casual xian style snacks.

    This place is such a hidden gem! We stopped by for lunch and ended up ordering way more than we planned because everything looked so good. The cold noodles were refreshing and flavorful, and the pork sandwich was honestly one of the best I've had. Crispy bread, juicy meat, and packed with flavor. The restaurant was cleanand friendly, Definitely a spot we'll come back to whenever we're craving authentic Chinese food.

    Summer Noodles

    When I heard that this place made handmade liang pi, I just knew I had to try it. Mama Noodle is within the Duke Bakery on Duarte Rd, and you can see those fresh noodles on display when you walk in. I ordered their Summer Noodles which are supposed to be spicy, sour, nutty, and refreshing. Like the description says, I got all those flavors when I slurped up a noodle. Their noodles have this nice chew to it that is almost addicting. I had a hard time putting this dish down honestly. I would definitely come back again to try their Flower noodles and beef noodles!

    Crispy Pancake with Braised Pork

    My experience with Mama Noodle was a bit of a rollercoaster. I initially tried to order through an app, but my order was rejected. When I decided to go in person, I was told they were busy with a large order and had to wait about 30 minutes. I returned at 11 am and was finally able to place my order for the Signature Summer Noodle Salad and the Crispy Pancake with Braised Pork. Despite the rocky start, the food was worth the wait. The Signature Summer Noodle Salad had excellent flavor and felt incredibly refreshing--a true summer dish. The Crispy Pancake with Braised Pork was also pretty good; however, I thought the filling was too little. Overall, the food is good, that's what really matters. I will definitely buy them again.

    Chinese hamburger (rou jia mo)
    Holly H.

    Food: - liang pi (glutinous cold noodles): 8.5/10, very authentic sauce, nutty and salty - rou jia mo (Chinese chopped meat hamburger): 9.5/10, better than the other ones I've had in restaurants nearby, meat filling is super flavorful - summer price special $9.99 per dish! Service: - friendly staff - fast service - they make the dish when you order so the rice noodle does not stick together Ambiance: - spacious parking lot - booth seats and tables available - shares the same space as Duke bakery

    Liangpi (凉皮), or "cold skin noodles,"
    Ann C.

    My aunt and I were buying bread at Dukes bakery and wanted to try Mama Noodles for dinner. The chef, Shawn, was super friendly and patient as we decided on what to get. My aunt ordered their Signature Summer Noodle Salad and I ordered their Beef Marinated Cold Noodles. Their signature noodles is called Liangpi (凉皮), or "cold skin noodles". It's a popular, refreshing Chinese dish from the Shaanxi Province, known for its wide, chewy, and slippery noodles made from wheat or rice starch. Mama noodles are served cold with their delicious dressing of chili oil, black vinegar, garlic, and sesame paste, along with toppings like shredded cucumber, bean sprouts, and cilantro. It was super flavorful and great on this Hot LA summer day. We will definitely be back to try their other items. Please support this small place and give them a try... great service and excellent food!

    Crispy pork burger (I took a bite already)
    Fang F.

    Cute place, share room with Duke Bakery now. No big sign outside, and I really don't like this parking lot... But! I like the noodle salad! It's just good amount and with a lot of sauce (I love extra sauce), and after put all sauce in the noodle will suck the juice in and make this dish more flavorful. I also ordered the crispy pork burger but I got a different feel as I have tried before, not what I wanted but hard to say I don't like it. Well, I'll try something else next time!

    Are you kidding me???? God! Look what I ve found! 卷凉皮 in LA! That's crazy! This is not just regular Liang Pi but the best way to enjoy it like a burrito. With full of veggies inside and wrapped with wheat starch. Located inside Duke bakery. Parking spaces are available in the plaza. Server is so friendly and helpful with the order. I'll definitely come back for more soon again.

    Generous amount of food and souces.

In terms of toppings, I enjoyed the wife's special noodles the most. There were a lot of tasty, tender beef pieces. I enjoyed the sauce and seasoning. The pork from the house special noodles was decent, but the dish overall was a little oily. However, I preferred shape and texture from the house special noodles. There was a nice chewiness to the noodles.

The pork sandwich bun was decent (4/5) since the beef was tasty but the sandwich bun could be better. We also had the traditional beef noodle soups with either the wide flat and triangle ones. You can't go wrong with these freshly made pulled noodles, and they are very hearty portions. Flavor is good and the beef is very tender. The smashed cucumbers were decent also (4/5), but nothing spectacular about them. Service is very quick, attentive and pleasant. This is a good go to spot for a quick meal. The dining room doesn't seat a lot of people so try not to come during busy dining hours on weekends to avoid a long wait.

Overall, most of the dishes were solid. The only one I could have skipped was the chicken and potato dish...it just didn't stand out compared to everything else. I think this was the dish that we took leftovers since everyone else also felt a similar way regarding that dish. The skewers were well-cooked, but the cumin flavor was a bit overpowering for my taste, and it lingered longer than I would've liked. With that said, there were definitely some highlights. I really loved the shrimp fried rice and the beef dumplings, but my favorite was the wide noodle dish with mixed meats. It was incredibly flavorful and hit all the right notes. I actually ordered it after noticing another table enjoying the same dish. Honestly, their reactions said everything and it absolutely lived up to the expectation. The owner was warm and welcoming, which added to the overall experience. The restaurant itself is very clean, with bright lighting and a modern aesthetic that makes it feel inviting. Parking is also convenient, with plenty of space available in the back garage. All in all, it's a spot I'd recommend for anyone looking to try authentic flavors from the Xi'an region.

Their broth is pretty light at this location (really similar to the Kim Kee near Rosemead Blvd and Garvey Ave), but their ground pork (I suspect it's Taiwanese-style because it's a braised flavor) added a good savory flavor to balance the soup. It was very heartwarming for a cold night, tastes like childhood, and brings me a refreshed, satisfying breath ~ like finishing a bowl of pho.

I chose #3 Braised Pork Rice Noodle and #9 Crispy Pork Rice Noodles Signature to-go. OMG, I was super surprised by the soup savoriness and flavorfulness. SO GOOD! The noodles were a generous amount and you can slurp them very easily. Pork portion and size were more than adequate. VERY TASTY! The roasted peanuts were great tasting... it brought back some nostalgia... nice addition to the bowl! They have a condiment station (red hot chili, hot chili oil, spicy pickled daikon, spicy pickled cabbage, spicy green onions, green onions, cilantro) where you can get as much as you would like for your bowl. Do you see a trend? Lots of spicy condiments! Staff ladies were really friendly and nice. They didn't speak much English. I just pointed to the items I wanted. Prices were very reasonable... $11 - $15 per bowl. Payment options are cash or Zelle only. Funny, I didn't have enough cash on me so I left to go to the bank to get cash. They didn't start making my order until I returned. It wasn't an issue because it literally took them a few minutes to make the bowls. Wait time was nothing. Restaurant front was clean. Shared seating is available inside the President Square Food Court. Free parking at the President Square in Arcadia. Highly recommend Mojie Noodle! #1 Guilin Style Rice Noodles is their top seller. Too bad I don't eat beef anymore otherwise I would get it. I hope they add fish to their bowls in the future. I'll be back to dine-in for more tasty rice noodle bowls even if I stick with pork or I might even try their chicken gizzards.
