    drunken noodle with chicken
    Tiffany D.

    Located inside of a supermarket, this hidden local gem is must go. Not only does it offer many dishes, but theyre SUPER AFFORDABLE and STACKED with food. We got the crab fried rice (9/10) and the drunken noodles with chicken (8.5/10). Both dishes had giant portions for such a great deal (both less than $30 total). Have to come back again!! Service was relatively fast and there are seating indoors.

    Cash Only.

    New Star Thai is very affordable decent Thai eats. It's the familiar Thai food greatest hits like : Noodles (Pad Thai/Pad See Eww), Curries, Soups, Fried Rice, Stir Fry. This food stall is run by an older friendly Thai couple. It's A-okay nothing stellar. My favorite thing here are the chicken noodle soup and they have a vegan noodle soup that's not bad. CASH ONLY!

    Great affordable choice for Thai food! Got the $40 party tray and it was pretty good price had to be my favorite part. Fwd over 10 people with leftovers! Also got Thai tea which was only $2! Everything in this food court is great especially Star Thai, classic !

    I was craving papaya salad, and I thought I would try the Salty Crab Papaya Salad. The idea sounds good, but when I tried it, the salad was a little too pungent with fish sauce, and the salt crab was just way too much for me to take. If I come back next time, I would just probably just get the regular papaya salad.

    Crab Fried Rice
    Ann M.

    The food here offer great value for the price. The portions are generous, and you get authentic flavors without breaking the bank. For a casual meal, the prices are decent and affordable, making it a go-to spot for a tasty Thai fix on a budget. Crab Fried Rice was okay. Kinda bland but worth the price 7/10 Tom Yum Noodle Soup was okay also. They give a lot of noodles but not enough broth. Not spicy enough. 6/10 Cash only

    A little mom and pop establishment that makes great Thai food. Prices are unbeatable and portions are very generous. My kid loves the pad see yew and I love their glass noodle salad. Orders usually take about 10-15 minutes to come out. You can browse other food stalls while you wait. This food court has lots of other options ranging from Vietnamese desserts stall to Chinese dumplings. Highly recommend for a quick and affordable meal.

    Pad see ew. Bad!
    Amir M.

    CASH ONLY. Pad see ew was pretty bad. More like Chinese chow fun than anything else. Even then, it lacked flavor and was not memorable. I will not be back.

    Pad thai
    Amy T.

    This is the thai restaurant located at the food court at The Square in Rosemead. We ordered pad thai and Tom yum, total was about 20 bucks. Took about ten minutes to come out. Great value and portions. I really liked the pad thai and I'd come back for that. I want to try their hainan chicken or fried rice dishes next time.

    Chicken Pad Thai
    Lily H.

    First time trying New Star Thai. I've seen this food court restaurant any times while coming to shop at the GW Supermarket. I had the intention of trying their Mango Sticky Rice since I haven't tried that before, but they removed the item from the menu. During this visit, I tried the Chicken Pad Thai. I was curious to try something new and see if it could be my new regular spots. Currently the food court seating area has been dismantled so no dining in. Everything is take out. Opening opening the to go box I thought the amount of food was pretty decent. Lots of ingredients for sure and many different flavors. For the Pad Thai there's lots of vegetables, soft noodles, and finely crushed peanuts. If you have a nut allergy I do not recommend this noodle dish. Overall, it was tasty and for $8.50 for a box of noodles, it was decent. I'll probably come back to try their other dishes, especially their Mango Sticky Rice. For those of you who have not been to the food court inside The Square plaza, it's inside the store to your far left if you're entering from the main entrance. Parking is usually plentiful, however on weekends when most people do their shopping parking spots can fill up quickly.

    Updated Menu 11/2024

    Food always good and tasty and reasonably priced for the portions given. It's my goto place for Thai food. Quite authentic.

    Crispy pork with Chinese broccoli ($8.50)
    Maggie C.

    Cheap Thai food at the food court. My niece and I wanted to grab something quick before going shopping. Crispy pork with Chinese broccoli ($8.50): not bad for the price. The taste was OK, but the pork skin got hard and chewy really fast. Chicken pad thai ($7.50): we were a little disappointed because the noodle was overcooked and greasy. The lady who took our order was nice, but her husband (?) was cranky. He didn't like the fact that I asked for another plastic bag since the sauce was all over the bag. QUICK TIP: LOCATED AT THE FOOD COURT INSIDE THE SQUARE PLAZA! 3 stars!! New Star Thai is almost yummylicious!!

    I had a wonderful meal at Mr Dragon Noodle House. It's located in a plaza surrounded by other…read morerestaurants 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.

    My first visit to Mr. Dragon Noodle House…read more I stopped by for dinner on a Saturday night. This place is busy. As soon as I walked in, a waiter handed me a menu along with an order slip to fill out while I waited for a table. That sure made the service feel less personal than I'd prefer. Every table was full, people were waiting near the entrance for seats, and the energy inside was loud and lively. These days, I'm more of a quiet-corner kind of diner. Unfortunately, I didn't find my usual quiet corner this time, but I managed to find a corner, and that was good enough. My dinner. Hot Tea ($2.00) Xiao Long Bao (8) ($13.00) The dumplings arrived steaming hot filled with juicy pork and flavorful broth. My favorite part of the meal besides the tea. Spicy Beef Ramen ($16.00) Large chunks of beef sat in a rich, vibrant red broth alongside ramen noodles, vegetables, and a hard-boiled egg. The beef was not as tender as it looked. The broth was too spicy for my liking. I do not recommend. Total: $41.02, including tax and a $7.00 tip. Overall, the food was okay, and the service sure needs improvement.

I loved the Chengdu Zajiang noodles the most. The flavor was wonderfully complex even without chili oil. The noodles in both dishes were cooked to perfection and so bouncy. The beef in the beef noodle was so tender. The "sticky rice" dessert was fried rice cake with brown sugar syrup; the texture was delightfully crispy. The dumplings were so juicy; the skin was perfectly cooked as well! The cucumbers were tossed in vinegar, peppercorn, and chili. You order through a QR code, and service was extremely quickly. We were able to snack on the cucumbers before our entrees arrived. The sun does tend to get in your eyes if you sit facing the window during midday. The two combos were enough for 3 people. I hope to come back and try their noodle soups!

The beef is sooo tender and the meat quite literally fell off the bone. The noodles were cooked perfectly too.

My sisters-in-law who live in the area highly recommended this spot when we were deciding on a Sunday dinner the night before we flew out. Among the four of us, we ordered: - Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) - Biang Biang Noodles: least numbing of the noodle dishes we ordered. If you LOVE carbs and not a lot of sauce, this one's for you! - Dandan noodles: this thin noodle dish is slightly more numbing than the Biang Biang noodles, but still bearable and tasty. - Chongqing Special Noodles: most numbing of the three! I had to pause eating this a few times as it was getting a little uncomfy! The noodles are side but thinner than the Biang Biang noodles. I liked that we ordered noodle dishes each with different noodle types, flavors, and spice levels. The Biang Biang noodles were respite from the Chongqing Special Noodles, while the Dandan noodles had the right amount of peanut flavor and "mala." We arrived 45 minutes before closing on a Sunday night (it was a holiday the next day though). We were surprised that there was still a line of people wait in for seats close to closing time! Thinking we weren't going to be seated, we decided to order for takeout. We ended up being the last party to be seated! The staff was kind to transfer our takeout orders as dine-in dishes! The staff had the right amount of customer service and attentiveness for a Chinese restaurant, if you know what I mean haha. For amazing noodle dishes, comfortable seating, and accommodating service, Chong Qing Special Noodles gets a solid five star rating!

We ordered the cucumbers, chongqing special noodles and you po noodles. Cucumbers and you po were relatively flavorless. Cucumbers weren't garlicky enough, and again, minimal seasoning/sauce. We ended up dipping them a bunch. You po also relatively flavorless. The noodles seemed fresh, but were a bit overdone and almost soggy. They were enhanced by the best of what we ordered, and that was the Chong Qing noodles. Decent flavor, noodles were cooked well, and nice portion of meat and bok choy. We asked for spicy, and it wasn't that, but the sauce/soup base definitely saved the other dishes. Won't be going out of my way to come back, accordingly.

For appetizers we ordered the Takoyaki, chicken karage and our main dishes Deluxe Tsukemen x3. The Break down: Atmosphere: 4/5 They greet you as you walk in, which I sets the vibe. You're welcomed into a cozy apace that has some decorative elements even to the music choice. Reminds me of our trip to japan, which I MISS SO MUCH! The Food Takoyaki: $8.95. 4/5 Stars. - Comes in 5pcs with sauce and bonito flakes. I liked how the outside was a bit crunchy and inside was fluffy! Karage: $8.95. 5/5 Stars - Comes in 5pcs. The sauce was tangy sweet kind of like teriyaki sauce. It was crispy but still so juicy and soft. HANDS DOWN GET THIS! Loved it so much I could have a whole bowl Tsukemen: $22.45. 5/5Stars - If you aren't familiar with this, the broth is separate from the noodles. Its a different way of experiencing noodles. The broth is thick, creamy and flavor profile is on point. Inside of the broth there is mushrooms and pcs of pork. The noodles are cooked perfectly and also comes with pcs of nori, soft boiled jammy eggs and 4 pcs of thick chashu. Portion size lets just say they are generous and we all can EAT ^^, Kakigori (MATCHA) $8/$14. 5/5 Stars - Definite MUST! Its made with Japanese shaved ice, a very creamy soft cream matcha sauce and matcha powder! I cant tell you how good this dessert is. The wife is obsessed and one if the main reasons why we found this spot in the first place. Please try! Service: - Super friendly staff! They are quick to get our order and serve our meal. I asked for more limes for my noodles 2x and both times they were quick. Made us feel very welcomed and checked in on us on a regular, which also reminded us of the service Japan showed us once upon a time. Overall: We love this place and we keep coming back with new people to share this type of noodle experience. Check them out im sure you will enjoy it. Lets just say we drove an hour to eat this. You def will not be disappointed :)

The…read moreother two ordered tsukemen ($26.50 for the spicy deluxe and $23.50 for the spicy chasu) and found it very salty because they chose to consume it not by dipping the noodles in the bowl of broth, but rather by pouring all the broth from the bowl into the noodles, trying to recreate a normal bowl of ramen. I can't speak for them, but I will say, if you order the tsukemen and find that you want more dipping broth, that will be an extra charge. Order a regular bowl of ramen if you do not plan to dip the brothless noodles into the broth for each bite. BF and I both tried the spicy tuna bowl ($7.95), chashu bowl ($8.95), and tonkotsu ramen ($15.95). The bowls are a little smaller than the ramen bowls and are a great option if you want a light meal without feeling super full. The tonkotsu ramen had a slightly rich broth that was flavorful and a decent portion of noodles. We opted not to order the ramen with the egg since we were also trying the rice bowls. The three items were more than enough for the two of us and a good variety of food. Parking here is horrible at the street level, so head downstairs for the two levels of underground parking.
