We love the food here and have been coming here for years but after BEWARE: our visit yesterday, we all had a reaction to the MSG that they put in the noodle soups aka feeling a tight feeling in the head and feeling very sleepy and drowsy. Aside from that, service is always great. It's typical mall ambiance so it's always busy around there. Not sure if we'd like to return because of the MSG, though. We never felt this way before until yesterday and it's clear they changed their recipes to add MSG, maybe to make the soups easier to cook and last longer? read more

Tomato and egg is always the favorite.. it's kind of like food court food, so not a lot of service was provided

Noodle St - Noodles Near Me - Arcadia, California

Been here multiple times, this Noodle St is located in the Santa Anita Mall (The Shops) near Din Tai Fung, on the walkway to the promenade. They had a yelp waitlist and I ended up waiting about 5 minutes on a Sunday around 6 pm. Food here is pretty similar to any other Noodle St, prices slightly elevated. I tried out these items. Spicy Beef and Beef Tendon Noodles (Standard Noods) - The noodles had a good texture and the soup was actually very flavorful. It's on the stronger side compared to other beef noodles I've had. Tendon was super tender as well as the beef. I thought this was actually very good. (4.5/5) Beef Roll Pancake - Solid beef roll pancakes with good flavors. It's pretty standard but overall it was good. A simple classic. (4/5) For food in the mall, this place is good. Nothing over the top good but it is a place I would go. Prices are okay and the food was good. The tip options they give are 18%/20%/22% so be ready to put other if you want less. read more

after spending a morning at the los angeles county arboretum & botanic garden, my partner and i walked 18 minutes to the noodle st conveniently located within the shops at santa anita. the service was as quick as our wait to be seated. i ordered a plate of beef rolls and a bowl of signature beef noodle soup (hand-pulled noodles, sliced beef shank, radishes, cilantro, and leeks). since noodle st offers the option to choose the type of noodles, i opted for the flat noodles for the extra chew. the noodles were chewy as advertised, the beef was tender, and the broth was light. devouring half a plate of beef rolls in addition to a bowl beef noodle soup within one seating was the norm tor me, but i wasn't able to eat my usual amount because the portions at noodle st were more generous than expected! read more

I passed by Noodle St often and finally tried it a few days ago. I thought the price is pretty reasonable and I liked all the dishes I ordered. I was not that hungry but here's what I got: Scallion pancake Peach black tea (free from yelp check in) Qinghai clear cold noodle Chicken noodle/rice noodle soup The staffs are polite and accommodating to the requests I made. Food came out fast and I thought the price would be much higher since it's inside a mall. I'd stop by again to try other dishes. read more

You can never go wrong with Noodle St! If you're in the market for some comforting foods, this is always a solid option. I've frequented a number of their other locations and my top picks are their Spicy Beef Noodle Soup and Beef Roll Pancake. On this particular visit, I wanted to try something new and opted for the Egg with Tomato Noodle. An interesting twist on the classic Chinese Tomato Egg Stir-Fry dish which is a personal favorite! It's exactly what it sounds like featuring eggs, tomatoes, green onions, and knife cut noodles. For about a solid 5 bites, I thought it was ah-mazing! Then, the sweetness started to kick in and made it a bit hard to finish the entire thing (their portions are rather generous). Tomato egg generally sits on a spectrum of sweet to savory/salty and however you prefer it is entirely up to personal preference. While this dish was yummy, there wasn't any component to help cut the sweetness. For context: The classic Chinese Tomato Egg Stir-Fry version of this dish is usually eaten with white rice. Wouldn't particularly recommend this dish if you're not a fan of sweeter foods. This location sits within The Shops at Santa Anita and can get super busy during the weekends and peak meal times. It's also right next to Din Tai Fung which drives them a ton of extra traffic. Try to visit during an off time or be prepared to wait a while. read more

Noodle St - Egg with Tomato Noodle - Noodles Near Me - Arcadia, California

I loved the bone-in rib rice noodle soup. Both ribs came with plenty of meat and the broth was delicious. I opted for the standard round noodle shape and they were as springy as they claimed. I also tried some of the Qinghai clear cold noodle which was a solid appetizer. We went on a Sunday during dinner so there was a 30 minute wait. The food came out really quickly after we ordered though so that was greatly appreciated. read more

If you love the Din Tai Fung Cucumber salad, you're going to love Noodle St's cucumber salad even more! The cucumber salad here has a generous portion to share for a whole table. It's authentically smashed cucumbers with the perfect amount of garlic, salt, sourness, and sweet flavor. If you're tired of waiting in line for DTF across the hall, I'd recommend choosing this place as a plan b because they serve their beef noodle soup super fast and it will leave you satisfied. The service was really nice! I was treating my friend out for her birthday and she tried to pay!!! But luckily our server knew to hand me the bill since I told him it was my friends birthday. I was struggling to get my wallet out of the bag, but he waited for me while my friend and I were fighting over the bill. The ambiance gives more street side dining vibes since it is a fast and causal restaurant. The restrooms are in the mall just a little bit of a walk away from the restaurant. This place is great for a quick and easy dinner with a friend! read more

First time trying noodle st! I got their signature beef noodle soup, beef rolls, cucumber salad, spicy chicken wontons, and lamb skewers. The signature beef noodle soup tasted clean and is definitely something I see myself eating when I'm sick. We were also able to select the type of noodles we wanted in our soup. The beef rolls and spicy chicken wontons were my favorite. The beef rolls had a nice crisp to it and the wontons were flavorful without being too spicy. Lamb skewers and cucumber salad was okay! No complaints. I would be fine with or without it. Service was great, and they were really attentive! I would dine here again, but I wouldn't wait more than 30 mins. read more

Inside the Westfield Santa Anita mall. Next to Nordstrom on the second floor. The open eating area is a quaint corner. It'll sort of feel like a you're on the back alley of Din thai fung. Uncle tetsu is next door. There's a viewing window to watch these mesmerizing knife cut noodles splash into the heated cauldrons of water. The service and food started off on a slow start but once the steamers started steaming, all was well. I've never had tofu as small and perfectly square as these rubix cube square tofu's. They were really crispy and needed a swim in that sauce to keep the earth spinning properly. The noodles had a good chewy bite to them but definitely add those table seasonings to spice things up. Broth had a subtle flavor. I wasn't a big fan of the kimchi rice. It was a bit overpowering with something other than kimchi. The scallion pancakes were good, as expected. There's an iPad kiosk next to the register. This is where you join the waitlist. The wait was about 25 min on a Saturday around 8pm. Restaurants are pretty busy at this mall so make reservations in advance if possible. If not, get comfortable and bring a book lol. read more

This was such a comforting meal! The broth was flavorful, and I got it with the triangle noodles and they were perfectly chewy. We also got the scallion pancakes, which I also highly recommend because they were crispy, flaky, and so tasty. read more

If you get lucky, you'll find street parking. We set the meter for 60 minutes, around the corner and a block away. It was just enough. The crew is mostly masked. The floor is well spaced. Next to us was a group of six. The restaurant prides itself on its noodles that they make in the back behind the glass for all to see. (See pic.) Patrons get a choice of noodle: thin, spaghetti, and thick. WARNING: Only two teas are refillable. We got charged for a refill on a refillable. We were refunded. read more

Dined in for the first time during lunch on Saturday, 05/11/24 to celebrate Mother's Day with my parents. Upon arrival, customers need to sign into the iPad to be part of the Yelp Wait List. You will get notified via text if it's your turn and if the table is ready. Very busy that day and probably waited approximately 15 minutes before being seated. Ordered the following: - 1 signature beef noodle/rice noodle soup (standard round noodle) = $14.50 - 1 noodles with minced beef sauce (knife cut noodle) = $14.80 - 1 kimchee fried rice with shrimp = $13.50 - 1 macaroon ice cream (got green tea) = $4.50 SUBTOTAL = $47.30 TAX = $4.87 TIP = $10 OVERALL TOTAL = $62.17 Wait time for our meals was minimal. I really enjoyed my green tea macaroon ice cream and would like to try the coffee one next. You also get to choose your noodles - a great option to customize your meal: - Standard round (similar to spaghetti noodles. made with flour and eggs - chewy) - Flat (similar to fettucine noodles. made with flour and eggs (chewier) - Triangle (similar to standard round, but wider and with a rigid surface. made with flour and eggs (chewier) - Knife Cut (approximately 3.4 inch wide noodles. made with flour (chewiest) read more

I hadn't been to the Santa Anita mall in about 20 years but met up with some friends here for dinner. I was apprehensive about the food choices we would find since most malls across the country have one foot in the grave and the other in a banana peel, but that is certainly NOT the case here! This mall was bustling and busy without a vacant store front to be found. There were so many different options of places to eat that we walked around the mall TWICE before settling on Noodle St. We waited about a half hour for a table and I'm so glad we did. Everything we ordered was delicious. They have different types of hand pulled noodles. There's seriously so many options I can't wait to return to try more of their menu items. The food here is top notch and the prices very fair. The service while not the friendliest or most efficient was fast. If you're not a mall person visit one of their other locations in Fullerton, Monrovia, Pasadena, Irvine, Eastvale, Chino, at UCLA or the Sherman Oaks mall location coming soon! read more

Beef roll has a great sweet sauce, meat is nice but kind of little, the outside roll could have been crispier, still a good entree. We ordered the original clear noodles and the broth was super rich, warm and really feels like it's 'cleansing' the soul, living up to its name. Got normal noodle texture, very authentic, perfect serving portion for one person, beef is kind of on the lower amount side, but it was really good Lamb skewer mild spiciness was actually pretty spicy, very true to name in spicy level, came kind of cold for us, very chewy texture. I mostly just tasted the spice and salt, not many layers to its flavor so it was just alright for me. Size was average, overall just okay. read more

Enjoyed a Friday afternoon lunch here, and it was very enjoyable. Ordered the cucumber salad appetizer, beef pancake roll, and the standard beef noodle bowl. The cucumber is your jam if you love garlic, the noodles and flavor were on point, and the roll was fun to try (onions galore). I would've liked to taste more of the sweet sauce that was in it. I love that they served the iced tea in a plastic cup, and I got to take it with me. Although it's smaller dining corner, it be seating arrangement is well organized. I would definitely try again and possibly switch up the kind of noodle for kicks. read more

On weekends or holidays totally recommend joining on the waitlist through Yelp if you wanna dine in, it's just easier, but otherwise they have a screen there where you can also join the waitlist! The food is so yummyyy. I only had the beef scallion pancake thing and their signature beef noodle soup. I'd say it's great comfort food, definitely coming back. read more

Came to Noodle St. for dinner a couple weekends ago for dinner with my husband. We put ourselves on the Yelp waitlist and walked around the mall since the wait was extra long. On our way back to the restaurant, I actually got a phone call that our table was ready so it was perfect timing (about 35-45 min. wait). We got a few dishes to try & share: -Cucumber Salad, was light and good. I do wish their marinade sauce mixture was more abundant, but I made a bit extra on my own plate with the vinegar and chili oil provided at each table. -Beef Stuffed Pancakes, careful there's juice inside. Flavor was good (think of Chinese beef pie), but the wrapping style isn't my favorite. -Noodles with Minced Beef Sauce, this wasn't what I was expecting and though I love hand-pulled noodles, the noodles did get all tangled after mixing all the components of the dish and wasn't the easiest to eat & grab to share. -Spicy Beef Noodle, this was actually pretty good! It does have a slight kick after a while and I loved that they already include some Chinese sauerkraut or pickled veg in it. Hubby wasn't the biggest fan, but I may come back and bring my mom. read more

This place is a great place for noodles! I had the Bone-in rib noodle soup, with knife cut noodles. And it was delicious. My bowl came with 2 decent sized ribs with an ample amount of meat. The beef was tender and peeled right off the bone. The broth was clear but full of flavor. The noodles were soft and chewy. Having knife cut noodles. meant the thickness of each noodle varied as it was cut by hand with soft serrated edges showing where the dough was cut by the knife. I felt it made the dish more authentic and handcrafted. The wait staff was excellent. They explained the dishes we had in question, and were patient as we looked over the menu. We waited a small amount of time as their dining area isn't that large, however, they're able to maximize their space with just enough room for the servers to walk in between the tables. I would recommend this place if you're craving noodles in soup. I would definitely come back to this place and try their other noodles in different soups. read more

Phenomenal! What a jewel! After eating next door at Din Tai Fung, I had space in my stomache for more... Service at the front was barren but decent. I ordered the cold noodle dish for 12$ and it took 1 to 2 minutes for my take out order, wtf? That is unheard of. The dish itself was amazing. The cold noodles were thick like udon but had a mochi like texture when eating it. The sauce was sour, salty and spicy. It had a distinct sweet and sour taste to it. It mixed with chives and passion made this dish worth the 12$. It was an appetizer but I remember being here 7 or 8 years ago and had their yakisoba, or in other words noodle stir fry and remembered it was just as good. This was before I even started yelping. The ambiance was great and it is next to "uncle tetsu" in this enormous mall. The mall itself is amazing with its store selection, but the food selection in this mall is extraordinary. The noodles were soft, delicious and had a wonderful bite. It was very salty though. Probably had more sodium that ramen broth at jinya or maruchan, but boy was it delicious. I bought this cold noodle dish because it certainly caught my eye. I saw their menu and thought this meal looked the best and the pictures made me want to taste it. A woman said it was too salty and I was hesitant at first to try it, but came to my senses and just went on to buy it. Boy was I lucky I tried it. It was amazing value and I woukd like to go back and try it again sometime. read more

Woo hoo! First visit but already a big fan of Noodle Street! They are right next door to the Din Tai Fung in the Santa Anita Mall and while the Yelp wait list may look long, they are fast with the food and turn tables over pretty quickly. Be sure to join the wait list from the Yelp app. I also like that the kitchen is 'open' so you can see the fresh noodles being made and your food being cooked. We tried the green onion pancakes which were thin, crunchy and not oily. The spicy beef noodles with standard round noodles (you can choose from 4 options) at the mild spicy level as they have chilli oil at the table so you can make it spicier. The flavor of the soup was flavorful and beef pieces tender. And lastly, the beef roll pancakes which had a lot of cilantro and green onions. More meat would have been better but the hoisin sauce had a nice sweetness to it. Would definitely go back and try the flat noodles as well as the qinghai cold noodles. read more

The cashier probably knows me by now. I come here almost every weekend just to get their beef roll and cucumber salad, occasionally their signature noodle. I'm ADDICTED to this place.

My colleague and I came here for lunch during our break. We were seated right away and the food came out rather quickly. That's the only positive thing I can think to say about Noodle St. I had ordered the Qinghai clear cold noodles, and the dish was incredibly salty! It was so salty that I could not enjoy my meal, let alone finish it. All in all, I've had infinitely better hand-pulled noodles elsewhere, so I have zero inclination to return here. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it. read more

You can join the Yelp waitlist before getting there so I recommend doing that if it's the weekend. Lots of places to sit and the high ceilings make it seem larger than it is. We ordered and the food came out so fast, minus the stir fry noodles which took a bit longer. Cucumber salad was refreshing and the spicy beef noodle was good. Rice noodles were kind of mushy but it's rice so it makes sense. Minced noodles were delicious! read more

Oh yeah a very affordable spot to eat at in this mall! My boyfriend and I wanted to eat something good, but we were not looking to hurt our wallets after spending a lot on an event nearby. We were immediately tended to and given a table to sit at. The server took care of us well and we were impressed by how beautiful the details were of the place. The chopsticks were long, perfect for use in tackling the noodles we were about to slurp on! You can custom choose what noodle cut you would like (fun!); I got the triangle cut noodles and my boydriend got the flat noodles. I ordered the bone-in rib rice noodle soup. I was excited because the broths smelled so good. My boyfriend got the beef shank noodle soup and we both enjoyed slurping them down. The meat was tender and flavorful. It greatly enhanced the noodle soup. The broth was warm and hearty, but it wasn't super flavorful. I definitely feel like without the meat, it would be missing something. The fried calamari was breaded and fried so well that the crunchy exterior gave way to a nice chewy experience in chewing the squid. The lamb skewers were amazing!! The meat was so seasoned and tender. The meat cuts were thick on the sticks and each stick of meat was something to savor. All in all, we had a great time eating here and would definitely love to come here again if we need to eat something delicious with a budget. read more

We joined the waitlist in person - they have a little kiosk to add yourself to the waitlist. Next time, I'm going to add myself to the waitlist while we're shopping! The wait wasn't long at all - maybe 20 minutes at most. Nordstrom is close by enough to hop over there and back quickly. We ordered the spicy beef noodle soup and beef rolls. I enjoyed both - the meat was high quality and so soft in the soup. I do wish they put a bit more noodles in the soup. Flavor was strong - a little more on the oily side (don't wear white like I did and splash on yourself). The beef rolls were also yummy! A little heavy on the cilantro/onions for me. Service was fab - they were attentive and brought what we requested over immediately! I also loved seeing the chefs working in the kitchen. I'm definitely going back and highly recommend you try this place. read more

3.8 stars I think Noodle St has been on my list for a while, but never actually stopped by. So, I decided today was the day to try it! I only got one dish, the Braised Chicken Noodle dish ($14.80). Upon arriving at the table, the smell of bell pepper hit me first, followed by the savory smell of braised chicken. Presentation was nice and colorful. Portion is big enough for 2 people to share. The noodles were so savory and chewy! For the salt-sensitive people like me, I highly suggest removing the noodles before the broth soaks into the noodles. But for the salt-loving people, I recommend letting it soak because the flavor is wonderful! The chicken dish came with onions, bellpeppers, potatoes, woodear mushrooms and lean chicken. The chicken was good, but just a warning to keep the chicken pieces submerged so that they don't dry out! Bellpepper really did nothing for the dish...but I like bellpeppers, so the crunch was a welcome palate cleanser for me. I'm not a fan of woodear mushrooms, but these were so irresistably tender that I ate all of it! I enjoyed the potatoes and onions, but the star of the dish remains with the noodles, imho :) Definitely looking forward to trying their spicy beef noodles in the future. read more

Great Noodles, fast service, good portions and affordable prices! Not a sit down restaurant but a great stop if you want a good, quick bite. We were still hungry after our brunch this morning so we stopped here after shopping and I am glad we did! The noodles had so much flavor, the veggies were cooked perfectly and the thin chicken was not dry like at most places. The beef roll pancake was mostly green onion and cilantro but I like my greens so I thought it was a nice balance to the fried dough. I would definitely come back to try more options. Tip: ask for a small bowl to mix together the black vinegar and chili oil to dip your roll in! read more

The broth from the chicken noodle soup is amazing!! I would definitely recommend it to a friend. I would have preferred the knife cut noodles with this though... the braised chicken was good but I would recommend the chicken noodle soup more. I saw reviews saying the braised chicken was very spicy/salty and I don't think it was. My only issue with this dish was that there was a lot more onion than any other vegetables... I definitely recommend the watermelon juice!!! It's not super sweet and it tastes refreshing! the ambiance here is causal and comfortable. Service was good, they came right away and they were nice. I would come here again but I would definitely change to knife cut noodles and get the noodles soups instead! Thank you Noodle St!! read more

We really love this local restaurant. Usually we order takeout because our work schedules get in the way of sitting down together. The food is always very flavorful with several choices on the menu. My favorite is the braised chicken dish. Service is always excellent with a very helpful and welcoming staff. When we have eaten at the restaurant it's very comfortable and service is great. Plenty of parking in the plaza but it can get crowded with several establishments in this old town Monrovia area. Still worth it for sure. read more

Bone in rib noodle soup is a must try here. Big portion and soup is tasty. So is the lamb skewer. 3 skewer in an order. You can also pick the spicy level. These two are my favorites. The egg tomato over rice is a good vegetarian choice. The eggs are really fluffy but bit too much rice for me. It would also add to the texture with more tomatoes. This restaurant is on the second floor between Nordstrom and ding tai fung in the mall. It was Monday night and we were seated right away. All dishes were served pretty quickly. Service is attentive here. Inside of the restaurant is bright and airy. read more

Delicious! The hand cut noodles are my go to hear in a bowl of soup. When I'm craving a lot of flavor I go for the beef noodle soup, when I want something lighter, it's the vegetable soup I go for. Their sides, tofu, cucumber, beef rolls and cold noodles are all great. Don't expect the service to be exceptional. They are either busy or not too attentive but it's not what I come here for anyway. Atmosphere, well it's in a mall across from din tai Fung, nestled between other shops so alot of action but again, you're coming here for food not for the dining experience! read more
