    Lamb Skewers (3P) Only okay

    Very good service, great food, huge portions. Best to share with someone or you will be taking home a doggy bag.

    New noodle place in Westwood... yet another Chinese restaurant. Look, I'm Chinese, love my food, but they have to come up with something different . I like their prices, small menu. I got their house special spicy beef noodle soup. It had tender beef. Nice waiters. Big bright space. I would go back if I am in the area looking for cheap eats.

    Spicy Beef Tenden Noodle

    Ykw... Noodle Street is soooo good, I hope more people try their food. This was my second time coming here but this time with my boyfriend-- he was craving beef noodle soup... He got the signature beef noodle soup, and I got the spicy beef with tender noodle (We both got the knife-cut noodles, so chewyyy) Mine said spicy, but honestly it was not spicy at all. My boyfriend can barely handle spice and he kept stealing spoonfuls of my soup because he liked it so much LOL Lately I've been trying to eat dishes how the chef meant for them to be eaten instead of picking everything apart like I usually do. I'm kind of picky, so I almost didn't try the kale because I'm not really a vegetable person, but once I did, it actually made everything better. I feel like when I stopped overthinking and just ate it all together, I started enjoying food way more. The best bites were when I'd sip the broth first, then eat some kale, then beef, then noodles. Literally so goodddd! I recently discovered tendon too, and now I'm a BIG fan. They gave me a really good piece and the texture was so satisfying. I'm already thinking about having it again tonight for dinner. We also got the beef rolls, which were really good. The sauce inside had so much flavor and I just wished there was more of it. It wasn't dry at all either, and it had this slight sweetness. The vegetables inside tasted fresh too. I genuinely really like Noodle Street. Like everyone there is so nice, they helped us pack our leftovers, checked on us, made sure our waters were full. Just really good service.

    A nice addition to (Westwood Village! I hadn't noticed this place before but as I was looking for food to go I thought I'd try it out. I'm sure glad I did. Kevin was very helpful in suggesting what k should order. I ordered the stir fry with shrimp, the signature beef. Oodle soup and the spicy chicken soup. Everything was very tasty, especially the stirfry. Only downside is I wish they would offer white meat for the chicken soup instead of all dark meat. But overall, the food here was so yummy that I came back the following week with so I could dine in. A shout out to Kayla! Although she didn't take my order she just seemed like a breath of fresh air.

    Beef Stir-Fry Noodles knife cut

    First time here and I haven't tried this place before but I have seen the one at Arcadia before. The place looks very bright and clean, the open seating and windows to the kitchen feel very modern like other Asian restaurants such as ding tai fun. We were seated and I really wanted to try their signature dishes but unfortunately spice level cannot be modified...I cannot handle spice and the beef noodle soup was all spicy...so I decided on the knife cut noodles, which I ordered for the stir fry beef noodles. I was a group of coworkers so they each ordered something. I think what I saw as a great dish was the crispy fried tofu, it was very good, wish I go that dish! My dish came out last, it was very good, i did taste ginger so i had to be cautious as I do not like ginger. I still ate it but avoided any small ginger just in case but still got some. I was quite satisfied, there was plenty of noodle versus vegetables and meat, so it was filling. We tried each other's dishes and I would say the best one I tried was the crispy tofu. Staff were pretty attentive as well, they were around and making sure we are ok.

    While we were strolling through Westwood Village looking for a place to dine, a brand spanking new restaurant on Weyburn caught our eyes. So we decided to check it out. It was a newly opened Chinese noodle spot. Inside, the restaurant with its East-West modern fusion décor was clean and bright, and with open kitchen in the back where we could see the chef knife-cutting the noodles from the dough. The seating arrangements of tables and booths could accommodate 60+ guests. The friendly staff led us to our table and brought the water right away. After browsing through the menu, we ordered the following items (we don't know how they did it, but first hot dish arrived in less than 5 minutes): Bone in Rib Rice Noodle: The noodle portion was generous, and they were nicely al dente. The bone broth was clear and light but savory. The rib meat was fall-of-the-bone tender. Chicken Stir Fried Knife Cut Noodle: The dark color sauce was quite flavorful and a tad sweet. The knife cut noodles were pleasantly firm. The carrot threads and green pepper went well with the soft chicken pieces. Beef Roll Pancake: Thinly sliced beef was paired with green onions and cilantro, then dressed with flavorful and slightly sweet Hoisin sauce, and all bundled together with beautifully crispy outer wrap. Creating a perfect combination of flavor, aroma, and texture. Korean BBQ with Rice: The beef pieces offered some resistance and could be a little more tender. The mixing of savory and slightly sweet Korean BBQ sauce with perfectly steamed rice was a combination made in heaven. Prices were reasonable and food was superb. Great new culinary addition to Westwood Village.

    The food is delicious! We had the beef wrapped on a scallion pancake-ingredients so fresh; the spicy wonton is full of flavor and the spicy beef noodle soup was on point with lots of noodles and perfect texture. Mmm mm. Service was efficient and the interior is bright.

    Beef Slices Cold Noodle

    I've been to Noodle St. twice now and have enjoyed both visits. The first time I ordered the noodles with minced beef sauce, and the second time I tried the beef slices cold noodle. Both were pretty good, and you could definitely tell the noodles were made fresh that day. I'm personally not the biggest fan of knife-cut noodles, so that dish was not really my favorite, but it was still solid. I ended up enjoying the beef slices cold noodle a little more, and at $11 it was definitely worth the money.

    Our Son brought us here to try this Noodle Street. This place was so packed when we arrived, we thought it's gonna take a long time to wait but the line moved fast. My wife got the SPICY BEEF AND BEEF TENDON NOODLE/RICE NOODLE SOUP, my soup was the SIGNATURE BEEF NOODLE/ RICE NOODLE SOUP and my Son had the WATERMELON JUICE. and KOREAN BBQ WITH RICE. Both my son's and wife's food was delicious but mine tasted bland , I expected that this would be a very tasty one but it's really bland and I didn't enjoy this Soup. I probably will get what my Son got next time, the Korean Beef with rice because it was very tasty and with tender meat. There are plenty of tables inside, service was fast and friendly. Mostly Students or teens dining in this area since it's close to the Campus and plenty of small restaurants too around, so Parking kinda tough , theres side street but kinda hard to get one but only a few steps from the restaurant there's a paid parking lot .

    My family and I were in UCLA area, and my wife had previously tried the Noodle St. restaurant, so we decided to dine there tonight. We ordered Signature Beef Noodle Soup with sliced beef, radishes, cilantro, and leeks, Stir Fry Noodles with onions, kale, bell peppers, and carrots, Lamb Skewers with lamb, chili powder, and cumin, Beef Roll Pancake with beef, green onions, cilantro, and hoisin sauce, and Beef Fried Rice with beef, green peas, and green onions. All the food we got had a great taste and quality. This Noodle St. restaurant tastes better than the one at the Arcadia Mall. We will definitely return when we are in UCLA area.

    I was really impressed with this spot today. I stopped by for lunch, cause I heard some good things from a friend. After a 5 minute wait I was sat at a table by a nice waiter, who was happy to tell me about their best sellers. One of the bestsellers was being consumed at a table next to me by a patron and as soon as I saw it, I just had to have it. I went with Savory Braised Chicken Noodle entree and it's probably one of the largest entrees I was ever served in a restaurant setting. The entree was just massive and I honestly wasn't sure if I'd finish it, but I did....I did. The noodles were delicious, served with a few pieces of potatoes and peppers, soaked with savory, flavorful broth and overloaded in a good way, with extremely yummy chicken pieces. Each ingredient of the entree tasted very fresh, tender and juicy and the entree just hit all the right flavor notes of a phenomenal meal. I'm still in Awe of their portion size. You won't leave this place hungry. The energy here was great, with the design being contemporary and the place being pretty spacious. The customer service was very solid as well. Will definitely come back for more!

    What we ordered for 4 people and shared. We did not leave hungry.

    This place is popular for their noodle soups and it did not disappoint. This place is popular for students and families alike. The portions are huge! We got the spicy beef noodle soup and it had great flavor. The beef roll pancake is filling. It tastes great with their chili oil. The spicy chicken wonton were also decent. Honestly between these 3 dishes, 4 of us shared it with the thought of ordering more and we were all decently full. The service, well, it's a bit slow. They didn't bring us waters, or spoons or extra bowls. They also don't buss the tables either so you are left with a table full of dirty dishes. So, I took a star off. But honestly, We are here for the food and not the service. Overall, since this place is halal, it was very busy and I highly recommend it. We got there at 6 and it was fairly busy but got a table right away. Then there was a bit of a rush after but the patrons didn't camp around after they finished eating so the tables turned over quickly.

    Worked on call this past weekend--rainy and cold weather. The perfect way to end the evening was with a warm, generous bowl of beef noodles Service is always great, and street parking was easy since students are still on holiday break.

It's not "destination dining" but is located next to Diddy Reese's Cookies and Ice Cream which is how I stumbled upon this place next door. The food was okay. I'd say the Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet lacked a quantity sized portion of the fish and had too many fillers to make the dish seem bigger than it was in quality. The Pad See Ew, we tried was okay, nothing monumentally special, it was serviceable. So, that's where nothing was impressive but nothing was too offensive either, it just could have been better maybe the price lower and portions higher?

The grilled chicken with black pepper sauce was just so so in comparison. Gave it 3 stars because there were flies flying around the patio. Covered trash cans might reduce this problem a bit. Price is also on the higher side. $6 milk tea was not very worth it.

Super friendly guy took my order and gave me a glass of water. The restaurant was small, but had a very nice, clean vibe. The sandwich was supposed to have come with pickled daikon and carrots, along with cilantro. It came with lots and lots of carrots and a fair amount of jalapenos. There was no daikon that I could see or find, and maybe three sprigs of cilantro. If the carrots were pickled, they must have been pickled in the last ten minutes before I got them as there was no discernible flavor other than carrot. Although I went to eat the sandwich about fifteen minutes after I picked it up. It was very soggy. The meat was very much on the dry side, a bit greasy, but again, overall, pretty flavorless. It also seemed more like roast pork shoulder rather than pork belly. This sandwich is not something I would ever order again as I have had some very good bahn mi elsewhere. If I do come back, I will try one of the soups or salads or maybe a spring roll to see if my experience was just a one-off. Being generous, maybe they watered down the flavor profile to adapt to American tastes, but for me, especially considering the price, this sandwich was a complete failure. Very disappointing.

    I have been a loyal GoGoBop customer for many years and have visited this location countless times…read more I have always enjoyed the food and have consistently received friendly service from most of the staff. This is the first time I have ever felt the need to leave a negative review. Unfortunately, there is one tall male employee who has served me on several occasions. Based on my personal experience, every time he has been the one preparing my bowl, the portions have been significantly smaller than those served by other employees--not just the rice, but nearly every item. A bowl that is normally filled close to the top by other staff has consistently been only about one-third full when he prepares it. Each time he has served me, I have left feeling hungry. Today, while waiting in line, I honestly hoped that someone else would be serving me. Unfortunately, he was the employee at the counter. I ordered three portions of rice and one vegetable. From the very beginning of my order, he repeatedly acted as though he could not understand what I was saying, even though I was speaking clearly. The customers standing behind me could clearly understand my order and even tried to explain it to him, but he continued saying that he could not understand. As he prepared my bowl, he again gave me much smaller portions than the standard serving. The three portions of rice together were roughly equivalent to what I would normally expect from a single standard scoop. At that point, I knew I would not have enough food for my meal. Because he repeatedly said he could not understand me, I finally asked if another employee could please help me instead. When I pointed to the food to clarify what I meant, he responded by saying, "Don't raise your hand so high." I found this unnecessarily rude and dismissive. For a moment, I even wondered whether ordering three portions of rice was somehow inappropriate. I am currently following a meal plan designed by my nutritionist, and this is simply the amount of food I am supposed to eat. Afterward, I spoke with the Chef Manager and asked whether ordering three portions of rice was a problem. She clearly told me that it was not my fault at all and that my order was completely reasonable. Because I felt so uncomfortable, I got back in line and purchased another bowl just so I would not have to be served by the same employee again. This time, the Chef Manager assisted me. She immediately understood everything I said, treated me with professionalism and respect, apologized for my experience, and assured me that if I returned in the future, she would make sure I would not have to be served by that employee again. I truly appreciate the Chef Manager's professionalism. However, no customer should have to ask for a different employee simply to receive the correct portions and be treated with basic courtesy. This review is not about receiving extra food. It is about receiving the standard portions that every paying customer should expect and being treated with respect. After many years of supporting GoGoBop, I left feeling embarrassed, disrespected, and deeply disappointed. I sincerely hope management reviews this incident and addresses it appropriately, because one employee should not be able to undermine the positive reputation that the rest of the staff has worked hard to build.

    Every dish we ordered at Meizhou Dongpo was packed with flavor and tasted like true comfort food…read more The fried rice was simple but incredibly well executed, with perfectly seasoned rice. The braised pork in brown sauce was rich, tender, and melted in my mouth. My favorite of the meal was definitely the garlic vermicelli shrimp. The shrimp were fresh and cooked perfectly, while the vermicelli soaked up all of the garlic sauce. It was easily the standout dish and something I would come back specifically to order again. The Kung Pao chicken was tender, and a good balance of savory, sweet, and tang. The restaurant isn't that big but it does have tables suitable for larger groups. This is a decent spot for lunch. The only thing is the dishes are a little more expensive compared to other restaurants. The staff were attentive, efficient, and made sure everything arrived promptly which I appreciated.

    The Peking duck is still the reason to come, but nearly everything around hasn't kept pace with the…read morecompetition. The space feels worn -- menus tattered, décor dated, the whole interior overdue for a refresh. For a restaurant positioning itself at the higher end of Chinese dining, Meizhou Dongpo is sleeping on the finer details. No complimentary tea service, and rather than offering a pot for the table, they serve individual tea by the mug -- a comically oversized Western mug at that. Chopsticks arrive without spoons, and when you ask for one, you get silverware instead of the porcelain you'd expect at Chinese restaurant. The Peking duck accoutrements came with a little plastic spoon on the tray. Small things, but they add up.The fried rice was a letdown too and looked nothing like the menu photo. Spots like Din Tai Fung and Lunasia Signature are operating at a different level and the gap shows. Meizhou Dongpo has the bones of a great Chinese restaurant. The duck alone proves it. But until they invest in the experience around the food, it's hard to recommend at this price point.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    My expectations for Chinese food out in the West LA area are not super high but Dong Ting was…read moresurprisingly decent! It is located right between Coco Ichibanya and 10 speed so I would opt to try to find street parking in the neighborhoods just behind the restaurants or metered parking on the main road -- this can get tricky during peak hours though. You have the option of ordering from a tablet right at the front if you're just planning to do take out! It was relatively empty when we got there so we were seated right away and placed our orders with a QR code. Our server was there by herself around 5:30 but the food was prompt with coming out. Portions were HUGE to be honest for the price relative to what you usually expect these days in the LA. - Popcorn chicken: came out piping hot and freshly fried, nice aroma from the fried basil. Solid spot if you're craving Chinese popcorn chicken - Woodear: surprisingly had a nice spicy kick from the chilies, no complaints! - Beef noodle soup with spicy: only a very subtle mala flavor but broth was beefy, noodles had great texture. Only lacking thing were pieces of beef were kind of small but otherwise I was very satisfied - If you spend over $50 you get a free dish (pork dumpling, xialong bao/soup dumpling, or spicy (saliva) chicken. Opted for the xiaolong bao which was okay... meat was on the leaner side and didn't taste fresh but the skin wasn't super overly thick and a decent amount of soup inside Overall, for the value and standard of Chinese food in the west LA area I would come back if I ever wanted something decent local to me! :)

    This is a pretty good place to eat in the Japanese centric area of Sawtelle…read more The chicken (fried chicken) is excellent and a good portion. I also tried the noodle soup, which was good. Parking can be easy on the weekdays if you park in the adjacent neighborhood residential streets (watch for parking restriction signs to avoid getting any tickets). The downside to this place in my opinion is the automated "APP" ordering system using a QR reader menu and online ordering. I'd say it would be more personal to have a human being take orders and engage with customers who may have questions and create a friendly vibe. The staff were helpful and friendly, so that wasn't the problem, it's the lack of opportunity for engagement that I think would make this place a bit more warm and fuzzy feeling in atmosphere.
