    Potato String Shrimp
    Susan F.

    Visited another location (Arcadia) and now trying the Irvine location. The noodles were tasty but the minced meat was a little dry and they gave you very little spinach. The four stars is mainly for the potato shrimp. Very tasty and comes with a sweet chili sauce. Service staff were friendly and fast, really appreciated that. Restaurant appeared clean and quiet vibe.

    Last night was our first time here and we love all we try, in particular I felt for the potatoes shrimp and the dumplings, my boyfriend loved the beef roll, and something that I have to point out and I appreciate so much is how clean and neat the place was, more that how good was the food I loved the entire restaurant and how much it made me feel in a mice environment

    Wow! Great noodles for the price. The hand cut noodles and the broth is authentic asf! Great portions as well and they arent afraid of giving you more meat. Same goes with the beef pancake rolls. The scallions and little bit of sweet oyster sauce is sooooo tasty!!!!! The noodles came out so fast and the rolls were so crisp and fresh. Nice lively establishment! Great for a cheap quick bite!

    Really enjoyed this restaurant. I didn't take pictures of everything we go but everything was delicious. We got the beef roll, spicy beef noodle soup, tofu stir fry and garlic green beans. Everything was very delicious! The soup was so delicious and rich in flavor. The beef roll probably one of the best I've tried & the stir fry had great flavor. I also tried the mango green tea and it was very good. The restaurant is nice & the service was great! I would definitely return!

    Service is great and the inside is very spacious. One thing I absolutely loved is the lighting they have above each table. So good for the perfect shot. We ordered the beef pancake, lamb skewers, fries, and spicy beef noodle soups with thick cut noodles. The beef pancakes were super yummy and flavorful. The lamb skewers had too much cumin for my taste, but the meat itself was good. The fries were nothing to brag about, and I probably wouldn't order them again. The soup itself was delicious and the broth was great. I'm not a fan of beef, but this one was super tender and easy to chew. The noodles were good, but they do become harder to eat as they get cold. They also don't taste the same once reheated! The serving size is huge and a bowl can easily be shared by two people.

    The highlights here are the super accommodating staff and portion sizes. This was a convenient stop for us in the area for dinner and it wasn't busy, so there was no wait. There's a variety of seating (booths, tables, and a bar-ish style in the middle), which makes it good for any group size. However, I found the food to be lacking. I ordered the noodles with minced beef sauce and thought it was just okay. While the portions are generous, the dish was had too much oil and salt, making it difficult to finish.

    We got the Spicy Beef Noodle/Rice Noodle Soup ($16), minced noodle beef sauce ($15), spicy wonton ($9) Spicy beef noodle we got with knife cut noodles, meat was tender, noodles were thick, broth was spicy for me but I enjoyed (7.5/10) Minced noodle beef noodle we also got with the knife cut noodles, we liked the texture of the noodles but there wasn't enough meat and it felt like it was missing more flavors. Wouldn't get again (5/10) Spicy wontons or dumplings were pretty good (7/10)

    Pretty good noodles. I got their beef rib noodles. I opted for the knife cut noodles. We also got the beef pancake. But we didn't realize the portions for so huge we had to take half of the beef pancakes home! I suggest only ordering the beef pancake appetizer to share between 2 people. Don't be like me and order 2 orders of that for 2 people. Decent portions. Very filling

    One of my fav Chinese restaurants in Orange County!! Been coming here for years. This place isn't too busy and I believe it's under-rated Must try: - Qinghai Clear Cold noodle (they run out by dinner sometimes) - Beef Noodle Soup with knife cut noodles - Beef Roll pancake We've came here over 10 times and these are our favorite things to order on repeat!

    This location of Noodle St is located in a shopping plaza surrounding by other establishments, plenty of parking out front. The restaurant itself is open, has relaxed vibe, and the staff was attentive. They also offered us bibs to protect our clothes which I loved! We ordered the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (8/10) and the cucumber salad (6/10). I wish the soup itself was a little bit warmer, but the flavor was delicious. The cucumber salad was okay, but I've definitely had better at other establishments.

    Hands down the best place for hand-pulled noodles--and they're even open on Christmas! Every dish was exceptionally flavorful. The hand-pulled noodles were perfectly chewy with a generous portion that's great for sharing. Don't skip the cucumber- it adds the perfect refreshing crunch on the side. And their chili oil? An absolute must to drizzle on top for that extra kick. Service was fast, and you can really appreciate that everything is made fresh right in the open kitchen. It's a great spot whether you're planning a date night, family dinner, or even dining solo. Next time, I'm excited to try the no-spice clear broth, the broth itself is so rich and flavorful, and it's mild enough to be kid-friendly too. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to!

    Noodle St is a spot serving up some authentic and delicious Chinese dishes. This spot is located in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. Inside, they have a nice modern interior with a solid amount of seating. Wifey and I stopped by for dinner around 7pm and were seated right away. For their menu, they have a good selection to choose from. Wifey and I opted to get the Beef Roll, Savory Braised Chicken Noodles, and the Signature Beef Noodle Soup. Overall, everything that we had was delicious and filling with a generous portion size. All of the staff here are very welcoming and accommodating. We will definitely be back for another satisfying meal next time we are nearby the area!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE "DAO" ($10) - potato espuma, slow poached egg, truffle oil, toast. THIS was so good. Creamy, savory, airy foamy, and crunchy all in a bite. If you love potato and egg flavor that isn't strong on either flavor yet it's present, this is for you. Perfect liquidy-whipped texture for dipping toast in. Reminds me of a breakfast dish but great appetizer for any hour of the day. HIGHLY RECOMMEND BEEF BELLY BAHN MI CHAO ($14) - black peppercorn sauce, sunny eggs, pork roll, pate, potatoes. This dish is popular to order here but I thought it was just ok. I love thinly sliced beef belly but felt their cut of beef belly lacked any firmness and was mostly gelatinous ends. I felt the beef belly could have been cooked just a tad bit more not to burn it but to render the fat. The sauce was saucy in flavor, the eggs were too runny for my liking, and although it was recommended to smear the pate in for more flavor, I am not Into pate. The bahn mi roll was average but girth-y in size. Also, gets kind of stale after awhile. Portion was plenty, this meal is good to share for two people or one extremely hungry person. I literally was full 1/4 of the way. RECOMMEND Until the next review...

    Four of us went to SUP Noodle Bar in Irvine on a Tuesday evening. We arrived at 6:00 p.m. and…read moremanaged to snag the last available table without a wait. Judging by how quickly the place filled up, coming much later would probably have been a different story. The Food Between the four of us, we ordered the Parmesan Fries, two variations of pho, the Filet Mignon Fried Rice, and the Cajun Garlic Noodles. The Parmesan Fries were a very generous portion, exceptionally crispy, beautifully seasoned, and--in terms of flavor--just about perfect. My only complaint was that they were noticeably oily. Other than that, I couldn't find much fault with them. The Filet Mignon Pho was a treat. The beef was exactly as promised: tender and flavorful. What surprised me was the distinct kiss of cinnamon in the broth. Personally, I would have preferred to suspect the cinnamon rather than clearly taste it, but that's entirely a matter of preference. My wife loved every bite. I also managed to steal a taste of the Filet Mignon Fried Rice. While I certainly didn't regret my own order, I immediately knew what I'll be having next time. The filet was wonderfully tender and juicy, and the rice had a beautifully rounded, savory flavor. A real winner. My Cajun Garlic Noodles were excellent. The sauce had just the right consistency--rich and creamy, yet still delicate enough that the garlic and seasoning weren't buried underneath it. It was certainly on the heavier side, but somehow managed not to leave me feeling weighed down afterward. Rich without becoming exhausting is not an easy balance to strike. The Atmosphere SUP has a modern, distinctly Asian noodle-bar feel. Hard surfaces, no carpeting, and very little acoustic dampening mean that, in polite restaurant language, the atmosphere is lively. In less polite restaurant language: it's loud. That didn't bother us, and it actually suited the casual, energetic atmosphere. But I probably wouldn't choose SUP for a quiet, intimate dinner--or for hearing a lengthy story in which every single word matters. The Service This was the standout. We were not the world's easiest table. Between four first-time customers, individual likes and dislikes, questions about the menu, and various dietary requirements, we gave our waiter plenty to work with. Chase was patient throughout. He explained things, repeated things when necessary, answered our questions, and helped guide each of us toward something that suited us. By the end of dinner, all four of us were convinced we'd ordered the right thing. I'm fairly difficult to impress when it comes to restaurant service, but Chase impressed me. This isn't fine dining, nor should it be judged as such. What stood out was something much simpler: at every opportunity, Chase did a little more than was required of him. He was attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without lecturing, and patient without ever making us feel that we were being difficult. That deserves recognition. The Bottom Line We thoroughly enjoyed the food, the service, and our evening at SUP Noodle Bar. The food was flavorful and well prepared, portions were generous, and the service--particularly from Chase--was exceptional. The only caveat I would mention is the noise level, and that certainly won't stop me from returning. In fact, I already know what I'm ordering next time: That Filet Mignon Fried Rice.

I was meeting my foodie friend there at 12:30. The parking lot has limited space, which made it an extra challenge to park. Thankfully I only had to circle the block once to come back and snag a spot. (Meanwhile, my friend got there before me and was already enjoying an appetizer). Orders are placed at the counter and they call your number once your food is ready. The dining room consists of mostly booth seating with one "communal" table, and counter seating with 5ish chairs. There are also a handful of tables set outside. I've really been enjoying banh mi and their Bulgogi beef sandwich sounded great. I also happen to have a thing for popcorn chicken, so I got an order of that to round out my lunch. Oh, and based on the rave reviews I've read about their peach & lychee green tea, I ordered one of those as well. Let me just say, lunch was very satisfying! The sandwich was generously filled the fresh ingredients and the meat to veggie ratio was perfect. I'm not sure what the green sauce was that they finished the sammie off with but it was SO tasty!! I requested the popcorn chicken with medium heat and it was just spicy enough to leave my tongue tingling slightly. My friend saved an egg roll for me and it was also really good. (The tea by the way was very refreshing.) Now, this was my first time here but I never saw anyone come out to check the dining room or wipe down the tables after the lunch rush. This was especially concerning to me because they had a guy doing work on the windows who put his feet/ shoes on the tables right under said windows. Ewww. But aside from the parking challenge and the table hygiene/cleanliness, our visit was quite enjoyable and the food was very good. We would definitely return, but we'll have to plan around the lunch rush!

    This place is located in the Irvine Spectrum. The entrance was located on the side closer to the…read morefountain rather than the parking lot on the side with the Target. The other members of my party didn't realize that and walked around to the other side to find the entrance. I had notified the other members of my party that there were discount gift cards available at Costco, but the Little Sister website did not dictate prices so we were not sure if we should have bought them. For a party of 3-4 people, I would say $100 of store credit would be used up in one visit. It was slow food. We sat down and ordered, and they brought out the food more or less at the same time for all of us. Some weirdo kept taking pictures next to us, so don't expect too much privacy. Either way, going here satisfied our curiosity, and the food was noteworthy. My friends had a better sense of taste than me and noticed the taste was different than what one could order the same thing at another restaurant was, but I didn't notice too much since my sense of taste is different than theirs.

    Ambience was great it is such a cute date spot! The bar is particular is very nice…read more As for the food I got the sea bass plate that comes with lettuce and veggies to be used as a wrap for your sea bass. The star of this plate was the sauce that came with it. It changes the flavor profile of the sea bass entirely. Personally, I did not like the sea bass alone. It tasted rather bland but the sauce rescued the plate. We also got the garlic noodles which were yummy but nothing crazy, we give them a 3.5/5. Not pictured was the cooked bokchoy because as soon as we tried the first piece we could not stop because it was so good!!! We lastly had the blueberry pecan tart which was.... Omg.... Amazing I wanted to order a second. I get very overwhelmed by sweetness but this plate was perfect. Creamy, freshly baked, big enough for one person or to modestly share between two people. It's topped with vanilla ice cream which was a huge plus! Would def go again though solely for the pecan tart.
