    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.

    Spicy Beef Tenden Noodle
    Kirsten C.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 .

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Scallion Pancake (3P)
    Chinsin S.

    Okay, this place exceeded expectations. I was waffling between a 4 and 5 here, but I'm going to go with a 5. First, the staff was phenomenal. Everyone was so kind, patient and personable. I felt like a novice my first time here, asking a ton of questions because well, I was genuinely curious about things and they were so knowledgeable, patient (again) and even added their own thoughts. Second, the the place was brand spanking new and spotless, having been open for just around 3-4 months. And lastly, the food hit the spot, cozy and comfy. I went with two options today for lunch: Spicy Beef Noodle Soup with knife cut noodles and the Scallion Pancakes. The Scallion Pancakes - absolutely get them. Do not walk. Run. Those were by far some of the best I've had - 10/10, no notes. They were so warm, crunchy and didn't taste oily at all. I shouldn't have finished the entire plate myself, but whelp, here I am! As for the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup, it was above average and while not the best I've had, I would totally go back again. I was skeptical at first, as I didn't expect to find a solid bowl in West LA, but Noodle St proved me wrong. While the broth was hovering between average to above average (not exceptional), the beef was top tier. They were also generous with the beef portions and everything tasted flavorful and tenderized. Big fan. Overall, if you're craving hot soup during a cozy and cold day in West LA, you can't go wrong here, and arguably, this could be one of the best on our side of town. I'll be back for sure!

    Shrimp Stir-Fry Noodles
    Michael M.

    Quality of ingredients, overall taste, value for dollar paid and size of portion exceeded all of our expectations! In addition, the staff could not have been more attentive. Execution was flawless! In terms of ambiance, I would recommend Noodle St. For a fast casual lunch or dinner. It is very lively with most of the customers being UCLA students which was to be expected. Would not recommend for a date night unless you are a student of UCLA finding young love. We ordered way more than we should have, being just my girlfriend and I. However, do not regret at all. The Spicy Beef Noodle Soup was perfect! Server recommended that I add a bit of vinegar and he was spot on. While we assumed the Beef Roll Pancake would be appetizer size, it was extremely generous and could easily be an entree. The freshness of this dish contrasts nicely with the uncious broth of the Beef Noodle Soup. The Beef Rib Soup was also a showstopper. If you like a clean beefy broth, highly recommend. We also chose the Stir Fry Noodle with Shrimp. We fought over every last bite of this dish. Highly recommend the Knife Cut Noodles in all of the above dishes, although the normal noodles also looked amazing.

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.

    3.5 stars. Good to…read moreabove average Indonesian food. Chicken satay was excellent. Savory and sweet at the same time. Popcorn shrimp was on a skewer. The kids like it. It was crispy on the outside and the shrimp was slightly on the firm side and slightly savory. Nasi capcay included a lot of fresh vegetables. It had more liquidy sauce than expected . The veggies soaked up the liquids quickly and began to get a little soggy. However the veggies were savory. The dish could use more greens. NOTE: this dish comes with shrimp which was NOT disclosed in the menu. We specifically ordered veggie only. One party member wanted a veggie dish but could not eat it due to shrimp allergies. Let them know to cook without shrimp if you have shrimp allergies The Nasi bunkus was delicious. Traditional Indonesian food would typically have a lot more tumeric and spicyness but this dish felt more streamlined. You can ask for more turmeric and spicyness if you prefer. Also The chicken was flavorful but a bit dry. The Riice was good, flavorful and not greasy. Perkedelle was tender but did not have as much crispyness as other perkedelle that ive had. The potato inside was not as light and fluffy as expected (compared to other perkedelle) and was instead on the slightly dense side. It was still good. The Bakwang jagung, or corn fritters, were both crispy and a bit dense and sticky. It was savory and was not greasy at all. We liked this dish. Es doger was good BUT had tough meat husks in the drink. The coconut flavor and bits were a nice addition to the drink. The casava and condensed milk had the right amount without being overpowering. If not for the husks in the drink, i would recommend it. Es cendol was heavy on the condensed milk and slightly overrpowered the pandan jelly and bits of jackfruit. It was ok. Overall this restaurant is an option for the area if you are looking Indonesian food.

    I went here today for lunch with my girlfriend at around 1:30 p.m. The restaurant looked clean,…read moremodern, and wasn't busy at all. Customer Service: (5/5) The waiter was very nice throughout. She was very endearing as she talked to my girlfriend in chinese and also kind to me when speaking in english. When asked about dishes and proportions, she was very knowledgeable and honest. Food: (4.5/5) We ordered the Mapo Tofu and Meizhou Special Fried Rice with chicken. The food came out within 10 minutes and the portions, as I saw on previous reviews, were generous enough for us to share and be full. The Mapo Tofu came out on a hot ceramic bowl. It wasn't as spicy as I thought, not overly spicy but just enough where you get that numbing kind of sensation in your mouth that leaves you wanting more. The beef wasn't like the ground beef you see in other mapo tofu, but more of chunkier pieces which I wasn't a big fan of as it didn't seem spread evenly. The Meizhou Special Fried Rice with chicken was probably one of the best fried rice dishes I've ever had. You can tell it was made from a wok and the flavors were just incredible. The chicken seemed to have been friend separately and added on top afterwards but the saltiness of the chicken didn't take away from the fried rice at all. Instead, it added to the flavor and made it all so enjoyable. For the ultimate experience, I'd recommend eating both together to maximize your palette!

    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! :)
