This restaurant was such a hidden gem. I've always thought their Arcadia, CA branch was the only location they own. What a nice find from 'the City of Monrovia,' CA. I used to go to their Arcadia, CA location for drinks when I worked at the Santa Anita Mall, Arcadia, CA. before. Service~5/5~Any ways. The host was very inviting, friendly and efficient: I ordered their KBbQ Rice dish, Fried Tofu and Beef Fried Rice partly for tomorrow's lunch. Food~5/5~Prices were extremely fair because ultimately portions were large enough for 2 meals. I can't finish my KBBQ Rice dish. The steamed rice were all properly cooked. This place should be remaining at a solid 5 stars..... I've included a bunch of pics for reference. I'll be back in no time. Thanks for showing me a great time with quality food I can taste!!!! read more

It's been awhile since I've eaten at Noodle St, but every time I go I walk out happy! The service is always great and their locations are always clean & spacious. It's a nice place to come with friends and family especially when you're hungry since the food comes out pretty quickly. We ordered the pan fried dumplings which you can choose 4 or 6 pieces, the beef roll (spicy), and their spicy beef noodle soup to share. 1. Fried Wontons - the wrapper is chewy and doesn't fall apart when you go to pick it up. The bottoms are crispy and the wontons are decently filled. 2. Beef rolls - we got it spicy but the spicy level is not unbearable. To some, you may not even taste the spice at all. The pancakes are crispy and not soggy. The beef is cooked perfectly and sliced thinly so it's not chewy. If you love green onions and cilantro, these were filled to the brim! 3. Spicy Beef noodle soup - even on a hot fat it's honestly the star dish on their menu. I don't find the dish spicy, but definitely flavorful. You can taste the beef in the broth and the flavors all work together. The beef is tender and the vegetables included are not soggy. We got the triangle cut noodles which was a good level of chewy and holds up well in the beefy/oily broth. Overall, the restaurant is pretty consistent with their dishes and I have yet to order something that I didn't like. read more

Still love to come in for their lovely hand pulled noodles - and their soups have been perfect in all this rainy weather! I have a new fave here - their Dan Dan noodles are soooo fantastic!! And the staff are so attentive and welcoming - definitely one of our local favorites. The Dan Dan noodles come with a savory, luscious broth with ground pork and spinach. The ground pork is delicious- very well flavored and soft - compliments the broth perfectly. You can choose your noodle style and my go to is always the small flat noodles - they're similarly shaped to linguini but way better! Flawless texture and flavor - and they hold up very well in the broth - always! I add just the tiniest amount of chili paste for a little kick - really takes it to the next level. My default is almost always one of their broth style noodle dishes - but my hubby always goes for their stir fry dishes and he loves them! He almost always goes for the standard round noodles and they're similar to a spaghetti noodle in size. We've tried chicken, tofu, and shrimp and a variety of veggies - all combinations have been excellent. Their scallion pancakes and beef roll pancakes are also wonderful - You really can't go wrong here. It's a very relaxed vibe and always fun to watch the talented chefs work on their noodle craft while you eat. Plenty of parking as it's located in a large shopping center. As regular customers I can highly recommend their noodles!! read more

I cannot wait to come back here this place has amazing stuff all around even the service was incredible.

Noodle St is perfection. This is the first time at the Monrovia location and it's exactly the same experience as other locations. Food and service is consistently good. The location is in a grocery store plaza so there's plenty of parking available. The restaurant itself isn't that big, so there was a bit of a wait (but worth it!). As usual, we got the spicy beef noodle soup and beef pancake roll. Highly recommend both dishes. read more

Came here because there were a lot of positive reviews. My family and I were also craving dumplings and noodle soup. As we walked in, we were surprised to see a big window to the kitchen. There were chefs making fresh noodles. Jackpot!! I ordered a shrimped, pork, and chives steak dumpling. It was so good. Nice and fresh. I ordered the Bone-in noodle soup with knife cut noodles. So good!! The brother looks clear but it is so good in flavor. The noodles that were knife cut are the chewiest noodles and they were. The other family members ordered the same as me and the other one ordered the spicy brisket noodle soup. My family loved all the dished and were utterly surprised how good it was. I would recommend this place to anyone. We will certainly be back. The atmosphere was low key and this ambiance was simple but cute. read more

Came here for a quick lunch while we were in the area. I ordered the spicy beef soup with the standard noodles. Loved the flavor, I do think it could have used more beef in it. My coworkers all ordered different stir fry and loved what they got. For the table, we ordered the beef buns which are actually soup dumplings. The quality was good and I'd order again. read more

The food is absolutely delicious after living in New York for close to 20 years, the price is a little shocking but the food is definitely delicious. We got pan fried dumplings, Taiwanese style beef roll and some absolutely delicious fried rice. We would definitely recommend this place.. we were the last order they took. The kitchen was closing within five minutes. They were so kind to let us place the order and sit and wait for it to be done and then even allowed us to eat a few bites outside the restaurant as they continue to close up. Listen New Yorkers if you're longing for a taste of home, this is a great place to stop by read more

Came here on a Rainy day for some soup. asked our waiter which soup he recommended and he said depends if you want spicy or non spicy. I opted for the spicy. I regretted my choice afterward. Noodles and beef were great but the broth was pure oil, chile oil. As pictured side by side comparison. Based on precious pictures of spicy noodle soup you can actually see the broth. I will be back since their Korean Bbq rice, dumplings and beef roll were all excellent. Service wise they take your order and bring everything out pretty quick. They are on it for providing water refill and to go boxes. Location is small and has good spacing between tables. A lot of take out orders just during the time there. read more

Food tasted great and staff was kind enough to serve us before they closed. Great quality food and service overall!

I really love Noodle Street in Monrovia. I came here when they first opened with my wife and my boss (two separate people, this time), and I have returned several times. This last visit was extra nice because we brought two of our four kids. What a treat! I'll start with the food. It's great. I generally come for some variety of soup, most often ramen. This visit I ordered the Japanese Style Miso Noodle Soup. At Noodle Street, one can choose from a variety of noodle "types." Texture is a big part of the eating experience, so choose wisely. I wanted something hearty today, so I went with the triangle cut. We also ordered some sides, most notably the scallion pancake, which is a family favorite that we order wherever we go, and the pork dumplings. Once again, we had options: pan fried or steamed. We went with fried today. Both sides were absolutely delectable. The ambiance is relaxed and the decor modern. It can get a little noisy when it's packed, but I don't mind the noise, most of which is from the customers, not the restaurant itself. Don't worry, it's a polite kind of noisiness, happy people eating delicious comfort food. This isn't a Patrick Swayze Road House situation. Last but not least, the service is swift and attentive. The wait staff move swiftly from table to table, taking orders, delivering food, and checking in to ensure everything is satisfactory. The level of service is enough to make me feel valued without crossing the line into intrusiveness. On our last visit (Nov. 27, 2022) the place was absolutely packed, but we managed to get seated quickly. We had a slight snafu with our order. My daughter and I both ordered the Japanese Style Miso Noodle soup, but the kitchen only sent one out. I waited a bit to see if it was just taking longer or if it was truly forgotten before alerting our server. He felt so bad and rushed back to have one made on the fly. I had my soup in minutes, and it was worth the wait. I mention this issue because this can happen anywhere. What matters is how the establishment responds, and I am happy to say that this was not only an honest mistake but also one that was corrected swiftly and professionally. This incident makes me love Noodle Street in Monrovia even more. If you are reading this review, I hope you'll give Noodle Street a chance. They are just the nicest people, and the food is great. Especially now during the cold-weather season, why not have a bowl of delicious soup? Enjoy! read more

Really amazing food, the Japanese miso noodle the beef roll pancakes and the cucumber salad here are so good, my favorites here! But there's a lot on their menu and everything I've tasted has been really good! read more

I got Covid again and was dying for some hearty soup yesterday, so ordered from this place through Door Dash. I had the spicy beef noodle soup and it hit the spot!! The portion size was also enormous, so I was able to save almost half of the dish for dinner #2. On a spicy level, I'd give it a 3, so not actually spicy at all, but at least had a kick to it. As others recently mentioned, the beef in this dish is exactly like birria and the dish overall was a wee bit salty (and I admittedly love salt too much, so that's saying a lot coming from me lol). But overall, 5/5 for sure! The homemade noodles were bomb and I love how you get to pick the cut of the noddle. Also loved how much spinach was in the soup (as well as the other toppings, but it was def heavy on the spinach). We can't wait to order from here again and try some of the other dishes! read more

The soups we reach had were all very tasty and the wait staff was very friendly. The service was excellent. One of our favorite places in Monrovia. read more

We stopped into the restaurant because of the reviews while traveling through Monrovia. Very efficient place and we were seated right away. We had the beef shank noodles with kale and pickled cabbage. The broth was excellent especially how spicy it was. Not for those who don't enjoy spice. Serving size was very good. We also saw the people across from us get the rib bone noodle which had 2 ribs in the bowl of noodles. I would definitely go back to the restaurant again. read more

I have been here a few times and the food is always great. My go to drink is always a passion fruit green tea which I will always recommend.

Overall, good vibes and good food! read more

I came here with some coworkers and we were pleasantly happy with eating here. The service was friendly and fast. I ordered the signature beef soup and it had great flavor. My only regret is getting the standard round noodles since they were too mushy for me. Next time I'll try the thickest noodle which is the knife cut since I like my noodles to be more al dente. We also ordered some steamed and fried dumplings as well as the garlic cucumber salad. The fried dumplings were better than the steamed in my opinion but I could do without ordering either next time. The cucumber salad was very good though. read more

First time coming here after looking up some good restaurants while visiting the monrovia area, and this did not disappoint! Their service was excellent, and everyone was friendly, prompt, and worked quickly to get our orders to us. We tried the Korean BBQ plate, the beef roll, and the braised chicken, and everything was great. The noodles dish was a tad spicy, but the noodles were hand-made, which you can see them making them in the window at the back of the dining area. It was clean and not very busy for a Thursday night. Overall, I would love to come back and try more of their dishes along with another beef roll and passion fruit green tea! Not sweet, just delicious and fresh! read more

Everything is amazing here, but the service makes it perfect. The only thing I hate about this place is I keep coming back and have gained weight because I love the dumplings and hand made noodles. read more

Delicious food, first time exploring Noodle Street. Love the options of noodle length and width. The drink was specially tasty, nicely brewed green tea with natural flavor. The Korean beef with rice was super flavorful and cooked perfectly. The serving sizes are huge, enough to share family style. The only thing I would want is more broth on my dish, the plate is shallow so there is more chicken and veggies but very little concentrated broth. Will def come back and try more dishes. The service was friendly and inviting, plenty of water refills to go around. read more

I've passed by this noodle place so many times and decided to give it a try. I came on a weekday afternoon and there was no wait. I ordered their signature noodle and it took about 10 minutes to arrive. I loved the light taste of the soup with the addition of cilantro. The meat was also nicely cooked but not too firm. I also loved the generous amount of green onions in the soup, which provided a nice tinge and texture. I wasn't that big of a fan for the noodle. It was slightly too soft for my liking. Overall, this was a relatively good beef noodle soup. Aside from the noodles, the dish itself was perfect for cold weather. read more

The food is always good here. We had the Korean barbecue rice juicy pork dumplings and beef pancakes with chives. Which were soooo good. The employees may charge for ginger or other sides so order dumplings and they give you one free or just ask the manager. But they are usually very nice and don't charge. The bathroom and the restaurant itself is clean and has a warm ambiance that makes people feel welcome. read more

Located right next to the Vons and blaze pizza, in a nicely lit moderate sized restaurant. Service was quick and responsive and knew from the dishes we ordered that we will be needing two small bowls to share food. They were even attentive in seeing the slight struggle of cutting the noodles to offer nicely packaged scissors. I wish I gotten the beef noodle soup with hand shaven noodles after reading other reviews instead of the small flat noodles. The beef rolls have a little too much green onions, but they were repurposed into the beef noodle soup. It would be better to have the shredded ginger from the soup dumplings in a sauce plate than piled on the center dumpling so it can be mixed with soy sauce/vinegar/chili oil. Restaurant was surprisingly busy on a Tuesday at 5pm. read more

Am I a big fan of their thick cut noodles that's homemade? It's good but nothing earth-shattering for me. I've tried a variety of their dishes here and my favorite, so far, is their Spicy Beef Noodle Soup. I definitely like the Monrovia location better than their Pasadena spot since they have a more extensive menu. It is also nice that they keep their restaurant air-conditioned, especially during the summer months when I'm trying to enjoy a bowl of hot noodle soup without sweating off my makeup. Perhaps this is a controversial opinion but I'm not a big fan of them giving us ladles instead of a normal noodle soup spoon - it is ridiculous to maneuver. -Stir Fry Noodles w/Tofu: 4/5; this is the epitome of ugly-delicious. Very filling and a large portion. -Spicy Beef Noodle Soup: 5/5; has a good kick and they load it with a variety of toppings. -Japanese Miso Noodle Soup: 3/5; they use their pork broth which is way too thick and heavy since they don't skim the fat out of it. -Dan Dan Noodle (Dry): 4/5; this is not your traditional Dan Dan since their version is served in that fatty pork broth so I had to ask for it dry. Thank goodness I did since the broth was given to me on the side, which frankly looked unattractive and tasted bland. Once I ordered their braised egg and some cooked beansprouts as additional toppings, the noodles were tasty. read more

Great place for any day of the week! Although they do have a location at the mall, I prefer this one. There is plenty of parking, it is bigger and they have more items to choose from. The last time I looked at the Arcadia menu, I noticed some dishes were not available here. I am not sure if that has changed, but I recommend you double-check before going. I love their Spicy Beef Noodle Soup 20/10! Most of the time it is spicy. I like that you can choose which noodles you want. I always get standard for this. This is definitely my favorite dish at Noodle St. The Cucumber Salad is not my fave, it has a certain taste that I do not like, but my friends do enjoy it. Chicken Wings are good too, but I only ordered it once. I also like their Stir Fry Noodles 9/10 which I do change up here and there. I like to order the shrimp, chicken, or tofu. You get to build your own and choose your noodles too. The Cha-Shu Pork Fried Rice is yummy 20/10! I highly recommend it. I also like to order the Watermelon Juice. It is always so fresh and just the right amount of sweet. My friends order the Passion Fruit Green Tea. *Will post pics soon.* Service is great, they are always nice and welcoming. They take your order right away if you are ready and give recommendations. Food does not take long to come out. You are able to see the kitchen from the big window they have and can see them making noodles. It is family and kid friendly. Even though I prefer to eat at the restaurant I do like to order the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup to go. I either pick it up or get it delivered. You might think it does not taste the same but let me tell you....IT DOES! read more

Highly recommend! Less crowded than the one in Arcadia. The place is clean and the service is always great. Food is delicious!

Gets pretty packed during weekend nights, it's a convenient location right at the edge of Downtown Monrovia. They do have a Yelp waitlist also. We came here as a party of 5 and waited ~30 minutes on a Friday night. Once we sat down, the service was pretty quick. Honestly, wasn't sure what I was expecting out of Noodle Street in Monrovia, as there are many better options for noodles in the 626 area. To my surprise, the food was actually pretty good! Scallion pancakes are the most basic, generic Taiwanese food you can get. You can't really mess it up, but typically you don't see them being the star of the show either. For some reason, the scallion pancakes here just hit the spot! Very crunchy on the outside, and still soft and chewy on the thin center. We also got a pan fried fish dumpling, and the dipping sauce that accompanied it was great. We also got an order of the beef noodle soup, and the beef was VERY tender. read more

Definitely the best noodle restaurant in LA, fresh handmade noodles...yummm, plenty of parking spot and the service was fast and friendly, thanks Danny for great recommendation. read more

Noodle St offers a variety of dishes served with their own freshly made noodles.. I have visited a few.times and will surely visit again.

There's so much variety here at Noodle Street. A good mix of Asian fusion options. Plenty of open space and seating at this location too. Very accomodating to parties of 10. Sometimes I'm craving beef rolls or jajangmyeon (black bean noodles) and this place hits the spot. I of course had to try their beef noodle soup and xlb. I love that I can change up the thickness of the noodle type too! I would probably try the spring cold noodles next since it's been getting pretty hot. It sounds refreshing and delicious! read more

My mom really wanted to come here after her neighbor mentioned liking it. We shared three items. Fried calamari - 4/5 Nice mix of rings and tentacles. Flavor was good, but it was a tad greasy. Portion was decent. Beef rolls - 3/5 The flavor was really nice, but the roll was like 90% cilantro / green onion. I'm assuming beef costs are causing them to skimp on the beef. I wouldn't recommend getting this unless you're really craving beef rolls. Spicy beef noodle soup with thick noods - 4/5 The broth was very full bodied. Noodles were made / cooked well. The spiciness was fine. It was the right level for my mom so I didn't mind it being not super spicy. I thought the kale was a bit weird, but it worked just fine. This place is really clean, service is good, and food arrived quickly. It's quite pricey for what you're getting though. Would I come back? Probably not. read more

May 2022 - Customer service reached out regarding my last review and while unexpected, I'm greatly appreciative! So of course I had to come back! Party of 3, dined in on a Saturday around 6 pm. No wait. Food/Pricing - Spicy Beef Noodle ($14.80), has tender beef chunks and slightly spicy but I love it that way! Ordered standard round noodle. Savory Braised Chicken ($13.80), for those who enjoy numbing spicy (mala spicy), this dish is perfect for you! It's also very tasty and the chicken is very tender. Ordered standard round noodle. Signature Beef Noodle ($13.80), comes with beef slices, isn't spicy, and the broth is delicious! Kimchee Fried Rice ($12.80), always a solid choice! Service/Ambiance - The service is usually good but this time everyone was very happy, friendly, and attentive! Will I be back? You bet! read more

I've had this spot dine in and takeout one time each. When I dined in, I clarified with the manager on what can be made vegan. All noodles noted on the menu are made with eggs except for the knife cut noodles and rice noodles. If you're gluten free and vegan, there is a rice noodle option. I ordered the Tofu Stir Fry with Knife cut noodles, Veggie Rice Noodle Soup, and Scallion Pancakes. I loved the sauce for the Tofu Stir Fry noodles and the Scallion Pancakes were deliciously crispy. I thought Veggie Rice Noodle Soup was okay. It needed more flavor. I most likely would not order this again. Staff were nice and noise level was average. This restaurant is in downtown Monrovia. It's located in a large lot and there is only one gender neutral restroom. There are also other locations such as Fullerton, Arcadia, Pasadena, and Irvine. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area. read more
