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

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

Great beef noodle soup. Everything comes out hot and the flavors are delicious. A smaller menu from their other location in Monrovia but it suits the location and it offers all the favorites. read more

Completely ignored. My friend and I love going to Din Tai Fung but decided to go to Noodle Street instead. We went up to the cashier, and there was a male worker there. He did not acknowledge us at all. We waited patiently while other workers came to speak to him, and we still were not acknowledged. After waiting about 10 minutes, we decided to walk away. He continued fixing his papers and never once said a word to us. I am not sure if my ethnicity contributed to this experience, but I have experienced discrimination a few times in the past, which made the situation feel uncomfortable. The male worker was tall, thin, and of Asian ethnicity. 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

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

Good food. There was a fly hovering around when we first got seated and throughout the meal though. It would've been much better if there weren't any. There's a window you can look through to see the chefs at work. It's located next to Nordstrom, near Din Tai Fung. 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

Their cold noodles are the best, I get them every time! There was one time I had one of their ramen/noodle soups which was also very good, but my favorite will always be the cold noodles 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

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

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

For some reason Noodle Street never quite hits the spot for me. I love knife cut noodles but the ones here are really just ok. Service is very quick - food is served within 10 minutes even if it's busy. They take Yelp waitlist too. Waitstaff is relatively friendly. They have seating inside and also outside of the restaurant- both of which you can people-watch. I've tried the tomato egg noodle, beef noodle, cold noodle, and all of them are just fine. Prices are not bad read more

Amazing food as always. My favorite spot to go to at the mall. I love coming for the Signature Beef Noodle Soup and Green Onion Pancake. I also was able to enjoy the stir fry noodles and garlic string beans today. Everything was absolutely delicious! I enjoyed my food with a refreshing passionfruit black tea. It was all extra wonderful because of the attentive service and kindness of the staff. They even gifted me a set of Noodle St chopsticks and a spoon. I love Noodle St!! The best seats, aesthetics, and the best food! read more

I am not a fan of their clear noodles (or liang pi); there was not enough spiciness and too much vinegar. For every two bites I had to down some water due to the sourness. We also got a side of calamari, which was also bad; it had less than 10 pieces and was over-fried. read more

Noodle St - Beef Roll Pancake(4), Cucumber Salad(Vegan), & Signature Beef Noodle/Rice Noodle Soup - Noodles Near Me - Arcadia, California

This place was delicious. Customer service great. I highly recommend this place. Very clean and good is served fast.

YES! YES! YES! I have been meaning to try this place for a minute. I am glad I did as it was the best decision ever! The potato string shrimp were a little too starchy in my opinion, but they were flavorful nonetheless. The signature beef noodles is delicious. I ordered mine with flat noodles which is great. The beef that is in the soup is not tough or chewy like you would normally get in soups. It was tender and would fall apart almost like butter. My partner stirred the noodles with minced beef before I had a chance to take a picture. It is a dry noodle that does not have broth to it which I thought would make it difficult to stir together, but it was rather effortless. The garlic, carrots and minced beef coated each noodle with the a dressing that is rather difficult to describe but delicious to eat. The portions are rather large so if you do go in a group I would suggest sampling different types of dishes. It is right next to Din Tai Fung and space for this particular restaurant is limited. The employees do try to accommodate bigger parties, but it would be recommended for date night or a party of 6 or fewer. The waitlist for this restaurant is through the OpenTable app which makes it easier to add your name while on your way or to even see how long the wait may be once you arrive. The employees are friendly and consistently checking in to make sure that you are seen and well taken care of. 10/10 recommend and will go back again and again. read more

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

Yum! My friends and I stopped by for a quick dinner after the gym on a week night. We were sat immediately, and greeted with excellent service. Our server was quite thorough, and made sure that we were all ok with the garnishes on each dish when confirming our orders, which was much appreciated. The broth was delicious. Spicy, but not overly so. If you wanted a bit more of a kick, there's chili oil available on the table to make adjustments. Liked the bit of kale included. Would definitely return! 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

Can't help but feel this place is a little racist. They sit us down and ignore us but serve everyone that's Asian around us. Another non Asian couple was also ignored which makes me feel it's a little more systematic and a little less coincidence. I can't recommend coming here. I highly recommend not visiting this location. In short, the servers will ignore you, unless you're Asian. 0 out of 10, I do not recommend. read more

I absolutely love this restaurant. I went for the first time in Pasadena and I LOVED it. I always skipped this place to go to dinner tai fung next door and I will never make that mistake again. The noodles are so fresh and the broth is so clear and refreshing. Noodle st definitely the definition of less is more. Although their isn't going on too much in the soup everything together pairs so well making it the best restaurant at this mall. You can adjust the spiceness of the soup which I love. Their scallion pancakes are absolutely phenomenal and I love their beef rolls. I have not stopped eating here since I tried it. 15/10 recommend read more

Would've enjoy my noodles better if we weren't attacked by FLIES. I was only able to capture three flies in this photo after continuously swatting them throughout dinner. The server didn't bother to move us to another table when we raised our concerns or move these plates. Black bean sauce or fly? Definitely won't be coming back. 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

Unexpectedly delicious! We saw they had beef noodle soup, and we got 4 of them for our party of 5. 2 spicy and 2 regular. They have the knife cut noodles which, to me, are way better than the regular noodles. The cucumber salad was also really good, and we also got the beef appetizer that looks like a burrito. They were also huge and very tasty. I liked this place a lot - totally hit the spot. The waiters were professional and friendly. There are plenty of seats in the area - probably warm in the middle of summer since it is pseudo-outside, but for October was comfortable. It wasn't cheap, but honestly nothing is anymore, so comparing to any other sit down restaurant- it was on par on cost but with excellent food and service. read more

With the weather heating up, I dropped by Noodle St. for something refreshing and light. I decided to order their dry cold noodles, a sliced beef pancake wrap, and an icy cold black tea. Unfortunately, the experience left me with mixed feelings. FOOD: * Dry Cold Noodles: The dish looked promising, presented almost like a Korean Bibimbap, with sliced beef, shredded carrots, and poached spinach artfully arranged. However, the taste fell flat. The noodles weren't particularly cold, and the flavor leaned heavily on spicy and sour, lacking depth. Also, the toppings appeared to have been prepped well in advance -- the beef and veggies looked dry, likely from sitting out too long. A simple fix could be assembling the dish after pouring in the vinegar and chili oil to freshen things up. * Beef Pancake Wrap: This was the highlight of the meal. A warm, crispy scallion pancake wrapped around sliced marinated beef, fresh cilantro, and a touch of Hoisin sauce (I think). The flavors were balanced, savory, and satisfying. * Iced Black Tea: Surprisingly good! Nicely brewed with a subtle Earl Grey fragrance that added a nice twist. SERVICE: Disappointing. Even with enough staff on hand during off-peak hours, it took over five minutes just to be acknowledged and seated. The host never made eye contact or asked if the table was okay -- just pointed and walked away. I noticed this wasn't just my experience; other guests received similarly indifferent treatment. Two staff members were at the front -- one busy refilling to-go soy sauces, the other simply ignoring the growing line of customers waiting to be seated. When I asked for a recommendation, the waiter's response was robotic: "What we have on the menu is what we offer." No effort to engage or help. AMBIANCE: The restaurant is located in a mall and offers some outdoor seating, which could be nice on a breezy day. Inside, the atmosphere felt average -- not particularly warm or inviting, which matched the tone of the service. FINAL THOUGHTS Would I return? Maybe, for the beef pancake wrap and iced tea. But the overall experience needs work -- especially the service and the attention to detail in the cold noodle dish. With a bit more care in preparation and customer interaction, Noodle St. could be much better. Rating: (3/5) read more

After a long day of shopping, my friend and I came to try Noodle St. We waited about 20-25 mins before being seated. I ordered the watermelon drink and that was refreshing!

I cannot wait to come back! 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

This restaurant was recommended by my daughter. However, every time I had a chance to eat here, all of the tables were full. We were lucky to get a table for lunch on a weekday at 11:45 am. By the time our meals came, every table was full. The food is terrific! The broth is so delicious, and the flavor in the stir-fry was awesome. We'll definitely looking forward to coming back and trying other dishes. It's located inside the Santa Anita Mall next to Nordstroms. I thought it was going to be noisy, but it was pleasantly on the quiet side. Highly recommend this place. read more

Totally loved the food! But the guy who served us was blah. I actually called the restaurant to find out exact location and he took the call like "what are you asking?!?". Then when we arrived at the restaurant of course the same guy is serving us. Not the best person to be working at a job that's customer facing. Other ladies that work there are nice. Ambiance is whatever's since it's inside the mall, next to Din Tai Fung but it's literally in the hallway next to DTF. Good casual dining place for lunch but maybe not for dinner, especially important dinner. Will definitely try other locations but not here. Loved the noodles and the beef wrap!! Would've gave 5 if it wasn't for the rude server.. read more
