    Udon
    Travis P.

    I've been here a few times and would say the food is pretty good. I don't think there is anything super special, but the food overall was good. The service was also very good and accommodating, especially since I came in with a party of 8. Here are my thoughts on the food: Spicy Beef Tripe - I actually really enjoyed this one. It was cold and had good flavors. (4/5) Shrimp Fried Rice - It was simple, but it was good. Nothing over the top, just a simple classic. (4/5) Pan Fried Dumpling - It was delicious, had good flavors, and was juicy. (4.5/5) Beef Udon - Another simple dish, but it was good. Nothing overly done, just a nice carb to have. (4/5) Beef Roll - Best thing they have for sure. Nice flavors and made perfectly. (5/5) Pan Fried Bao - Pretty good. It had juice inside, and the meat was tasty. (4.5/5) Popcorn Chicken - We got this one mild, and they basically didn't put any spice on it. TBH, it lacked flavor, and besides being pretty crispy, it definitely needed some spice. (3/5) Beef Noodle Soup - It was good and pretty traditional. (4/5) Overall, most of the food was good but not spectacular IMO. It's a solid place to eat if you're looking for pretty good food, and the price isn't too bad! Parking - Now this stings because this lot SUCKS. If you come during peak hours, just pray because it's a very popular lot with plenty of good restaurants, so it gets crowded. I ended up exiting and driving south to the first local street, where you can park and walk over.

    Came here for some soup and I always try the beef! Perfectly tender beef and tendon! The noodles were cooked well, however, the broth could have used some more flavor It was a bit bland for my liking, however, the noodles and beef were tasty! The service was attentive and always ready to serve you on standby The ambiance was busy for lunch. The restaurant was clean and medium to small party friendly

    I recently came back here again for a quick Sunday dinner and here are some of the key highlights: * Parking was easy this time as I was able to find an available spot in the parking lot immediately. * I was able to check in 5 minutes ahead of time via Yelp and only waited 5 more minutes in person before receiving a text that our table was ready on Sunday at 7:30 PM. * One of the most efficient services for Chinese restaurants in the SGV (San Gabriel Valley) area as the staff wasted no time serving food, refilling water, and responding to a check request. * Ordered slightly different dishes this time and C1 Xiao Long Bao (juicy pork dumplings 8 pieces -$13.00) and C5 Beef Roll (6 pieces - $16.00) were A-tier dishes. Xiao Long Bao's flavor profile tasted more like steamed dumplings. Beef roll didn't taste as good as I remembered (probably because it had slightly less hoisin sauce), but it was still a good beef roll nonetheless. * Personally G4 Black Pepper Beef Fried Udon ($15.99) was a surprising discovery and an S-tier dish. Basically think of it as beef chow fun, but replace flat noodles with udon and add egg and bell pepper - excellent flavor profile. C3 Pan Fried Pork Bao (6 pieces - $13.00) were comparable to the ones from Kang Kang Food Court. 4.5 stars for the food with 4 items enough to feed 3 to 4 adults. I would say their noodle dishes like Beef Noodle Soup / Black Pepper Beef Fried Udon / Fujian Style Fried Vermicelli are slightly better than their dumpling dishes. Bump it up to 5-star for the excellent service. P.S. - There's another new location in Diamond Bar.

    8/29/2026: Wow! Second visit almost exactly 1 year later, and this place still doesn't disappoint! We pulled in to the parking lot around 8pm on a Saturday night, and the very ample parking lot was packed to the gills. There are several restaurants in the lot, but Mr. Dragon Noodle House seemed to be the busiest with several groups of people waiting outside for a table. I called and was told they're open until 9pm, but if you arrive before 8:40pm they will still seat you and you can order and dine. He quoted a 10-20 minute wait which didn't seem possible, but we took a chance and placed our name on the waitlist. I love the tablets that most restaurants in SGV use. It's so efficient! The host handed us a laminated menu and an order form after we checked in so we could figure out what we wanted even before we sat down. They get high marks for efficiency! Within 10 minutes, we were called to our waiting table. They are a well oiled machine! As soon as a party leaves, a team of 3 smiling staff converge on the table to clear the dishes, clean the table and re-set for the next patrons. We ordered our drinks and a Popcorn Chicken appetizer. Hubby says this is the best popcorn chicken he's had to date, and he's a bit of a snob! No dipping sauces needed. He ordered "No Spicy" and they brought chili powder on the side. They fried what I believe was fresh basil with the chicken and it was so tasty, I would request extra next time! It's well seasoned and crispy. The portion is easily generous enough to share with 4 or more people. Their 0% Sugar Green Tea is served icy cold in a huge beer stein, and is so refreshing! A perfect accompaniment to the meal. It comes in many flavors as well but I didn't want anything sweet. We shared an order of their Hot Oil Shrimp, Pork & Cabbage wontons in a bowl. Delicious, but if you're not a heat seeker don't forget to request it "mild". Now for what I considered the star of the table, their House Special Beef Noodle Soup. This is a dish that I love and am always looking for the best bowl.. and Mr Dragon is high up there. Don't come at me, but we had heard the hype about Corner Beef Noodle House and tried theirs last year. In an evening without a crowd we were virtually ignored when we walked in and I had to accost someone to seat us. The soup wasn't nearly as good as Mr Dragon, and their service couldn't compare. I'll have to give them one more chance. There was no room for improvement at Mr Dragon Noodle House. Beefy broth, tender chunks of beef and perfectly bouncy noodles. Yum!

    This is one of my favorite places in the 626. When you arrive you will be given a sheet to fill out regarding what you'd like to order. Once you're about to sit down, the server will take your sheet so the kitchen can prepare your order. Once you sit down, the food is brought over to you within minutes. The restaurant is clean and feels like you're inside someone's kitchen. I have never had a bad meal here and I love everything I have tried. Must get: noodle soup

    We had such a delicious meal! Located in a busy strip mall, we arrived at 7pm on a Sunday just before it got crowded. We ordered so much food. Our server was friendly and informative. The food arrived one dish at a time, but fairly fast. Service throughout the meal was minimal, bit it did not take away from our dining experience. Every dish we ordered, in exception of the Hot Oil Pork with Vegetable Wonton, was plentiful and delicious. We tried the following dishes: -Popcorn Chicken 5/5, large portion and perfectly fried. -Crab with Pork Xiao Long Bao 5/5 -Beef Roll 4/5 -Pan Fried Shrimp Pork w/Vegetable Wonton 5/5 -Hot Oil Pork with Vegetable Wonton 2/5, Way too spicy. -Shrimp Fried Rice 5/5, shrimp was perfectly cooked. -Braised Beef Noodle 5/5, amazingly good! Overall, we'll be back! It is a small spot, that's busy and tight on space, but so worth a visit.

    I had a wonderful meal at Mr Dragon Noodle House. It's located in a plaza surrounded by other restaurants and stores, and there's plenty of parking spaces in the lot. The popcorn chicken is a must - the portion was huge and the mild flavor was top notch. The beef noodle soup was also solid. It came with a generous amount of noodles and big chunks of flavorful beef. Lastly, the regular soup dumplings pass exceptionally well with the ginger, vinegar, soy sauce condiment. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive. Atmosphere inside was hip and vibey. Overall, this is a great restaurant and I'd highly recommend others to try their dishes.

    Yum, got the popular braised beef and tendon noodle soup at medium spicy to-go and it was delicious. Spicy but not too spicy, beef was tender af and tendon was yummm. Would order again for sure and also try other stuff there. Inside seating looked chill, servers were helpful, will come back to dine in next time I'm in the area.

    My husband and I were in the area and decided to give this place a try. It was packed! The shopping center parking lot was completely full, so we ended up parking on a nearby residential street and walking over. We ordered the Sichuan-style beef noodle soup, pork and leek pan-fried dumplings, pan-fried pork bao, and the beef roll. Everything came out quickly and was really tasty. The place has a cozy, trendy vibe, and while it's a little pricey, we left happy and felt it was worth the wait. We'd definitely come back if we're in the area again.

    It was my first time visiting and I was not disappointed! We ordered the beef noodle soup, xiao long bao, and black pepper beef udon. My favorite was definitely the black pepper beef udon! It was flavored really nicely and the udon was a good consistency. The beef noodle soup was also very delicious and it would be perfect on a cold day. I do wish the XLB was a little softer and warmer. We beat the rush and were seated quickly. We also got our food fast as well. This plaza does get busy but parking is not too bad.

    Came here yesterday with my daughter for a little mother/daughter lunch run and everything was absolutely delicious!! We may have ordered too much food, but everything online looked amazing and we couldn't hold back on trying new things. Service was 10/10 we were seated very fast, food was brought out fresh and hot! Thank you for such an amazing first time experience, we will be back :)

    Just wow! The spicy braised beef noodle soup was sooooooo good! It was pretty early so I was even debating ordering something so heavy, but wow I'm glad I did! They have huge portions and the spice level is perfect. The meat was falling apart and I was easily able to use my chopsticks to break it apart. The service was good, they were in there to get food out, not chit chat and socialize. They weren't rude at all just not a hospitality staff lolll. Cute place too? they had a good amount of seating and got the food out quick. The potstickers were just okay for me though, I felt like it lacked flavor except for in the one bite you got the juicy broth too. Just needed more salt but the texture and bite with salt were great.

    Let's start with the service, it's quick and efficient. Tables move fairly quickly. Takes minimal time to get drinks and dishes out to tables. The food is priced great and quality is high. Can get a lil noisy but it's a vibe ;) parking can be a shit show, but cars move in and out regularly. Definitely keep coming back for the food.

I even didn't want to take any photos of the food, because I was so pissed off! Save your money and go somewhere else.

The meat was really tender, but the wrap was too soft. The beef noodle soup had tender meat in it, but didn't have much taste to it. It was very average. The service is good here. Very fast and polite. It is a small busy restaurant. Get ready to wait. HAPPY SQUIDING!

    *** Credit cards accepted over $30 ***…read more Sinbala is one of the most iconic and long-established Taiwanese restaurants in Los Angeles and the flagship restaurant has been around for 20+ years. This is my go-to place if I ever crave actual authentic Taiwanese comfort food. Although the restaurant closed its secondary location in Rowland Heights and had a rumored change of ownership right before COVID, this flagship location is still here to stay. The original founder Linda used to work at Wan Chun Taiwanese Food before opening Sinbala. [Parking]: The parking lot can be packed during busy hours, but I had no issue finding an available spot on Sunday at 5:30 PM. [Atmosphere]: Casual dine-in setup and you are not exactly coming here to vibe but rather to enjoy good Taiwanese comfort food. [Menu]: The signature dish to order here for 1st timer is definition #1 Sausage Rice as their Taiwanese sausage is their claim to fame item. While Yelp's top highlighted items include #36 Popcorn Chicken and #2 Fried Pork Chop (all solid picks), I am a sucker on their noodle bowls such as #24 Beef Noodle Soup and #18 Pork Stew Noodle Soup. As a general rule of thumb, The general rule of thumb is their menu has picture of featured items and those are the one to get.

The general rule of thumb is any dishes with pictures on the menu = featured items. *** #25 Steamed mini pork bun (aka XLB prep takes 15 minutes - 10 pieces for $16.29): The XLB here had thick skin and was not super juicy, but it had an excellent flavor profile. #1 Sinbala Sausage Rice ($15.38): This remains the classic dish to order and is still one of the best Taiwanese sausages in LA and Orange County. #18 Pork Stew Noodle Soup ($15.38): If a restaurant sells any stew noodle soups, then you know that's a legit Taiwanese restaurant. The flavor profile really hit the spot and reminded me of the same stew noodle soup I had from Taiwan street vendors. *** This still remains one of my top Taiwanese restaurants in Southern California as there are fewer and fewer legit Taiwanese restaurants in Los Angeles / Orange County now.

    SinBala - Arcadia…read more SinBala is one of the rare Taiwanese restaurants that has stood the test of time. I grew up eating here. There used to be several locations across Southern California, and I'm glad the Arcadia location is still here. Every visit brings back memories. I come for the Taiwanese classics that are becoming harder to find. The popcorn chicken is still one of my favorites--crispy, fragrant, and seasoned the way Taiwanese street vendors do it. The Taiwanese meatball soup is comforting, and the Taiwanese sausage always reminds me of night markets back home. What I appreciate most is that SinBala doesn't just serve street food. It brings those familiar flavors into a warm, home-style setting. It's nostalgic without trying too hard. Before you leave, save room for dessert. Their shaved ice is a must. I always recommend the brown sugar shaved ice topped with five mochi or boba. It's refreshing, not overly sweet, and the perfect ending to a meal. Taiwanese food is often overshadowed by other regional Chinese cuisines, but places like SinBala remind me how unique it really is. Simple, comforting, and full of character. I'm grateful this little piece of Taiwan is still here.

    I came to 101 Noodle Express in Alhambra for a late dinner on a Thursday night. It's located in the…read moresame building as Alhambra Valley Bowl. From the outside, you can't tell the inside has really good space with booths plus tables and chairs, but it does. They weren't super busy at the time... about 5 tables occupied. I was greeted right away by the one server who was working the entire floor. Interior was clean and well lit. Atmosphere was comfortable. Menu has a variety of options... boiled dumplings, pan-fried dumplings, steamed mini buns, stir-fried noodles, regular noodles, rolls & pancakes, side dishes, rice, soup, and beverages. They also have frozen food to-go (just two items... dumplings and dezhou chicken). I got one Steamed Mini Buns (aka Xiao Long Bao), one Stir-Fried Noodles with pork, one Lamb Noodles Soup (with hand torn noodles), and one Jasmine Green Tea with honey. Yes, this seems like a lot of food for one person. I'm not a stranger to bringing food home for another meal. *Steamed Mini Buns - juicy with flavorful pork filling, adequate skin thickness, good size buns *Stir-Fried Noodles with pork - best dish out of the 3, good balance between pork, veggies, and noodles, mild spice level was perfect, portions were reasonable for the price *Lamb Noodles Soup - great amount of lamb and noodles, lamb was tender, noodles were a tad mushy on the edge... they need to be firmer, soup was savory *Jasmine Green Tea with honey - good size cup, tea was a bit bitter, probably needs more honey Food came out steaming hot and timely. Staff and service were wonderful. Yan, the server, was patient and helpful. He did an amazing job working the entire floor by himself. Thank you Yan! Highly recommend this place for their pan-dried and soup noodles. I would come back for more pan-fried noodles and try their pan-fried dumplings. Btw, cash, Zelle, or Venmo payment ONLY for bill total under $50. Bring cash if you don't plan to eat lots.

    I have been coming here for years. I like the beef roll here. It doesn't disappoint…read more The beef and tendon noodle soup is sometimes a hit and miss. This time it was very good. I have had ones in previous visits that the beef was chewy, not tender. You have a choice of regular noodles or hand torn noodles. Hand torn noodles are more filling since the noodles are much thicker than the regular noodles. They are both good. It is a matter of preference. The minced pork with noodles (aka Jia Jiang mien) is also good. For this visit, I did not order dumplings. But their dumplings are usually good. The service is adequate but don't expect good service.
