Tried their coconut soup and went back the next weekend for it, all their food is delicious We had wings, egg rolls, fried rice, edamame and some other dishes everything was so flavorful, definitely recommend this place. Prices are very good and big portions. Fast service read more

Food are the same which is great. Portion is big. I usually get crispy chow mein noodles, pad see ew, pad Thai, chicken satay. Cat fish is great. Pho soup is not good. Iced lemon tea is not good. But the service is going downhill tremendously. You have to waive several times to get attention. Parking is great but in busy time, it can be challenging. Good for hanging out with friends and family. Not for date night. read more

Good Thai food. It's not traditional Thai food but it's very good and large portions. The chicken hanian is a great dish here. Also really enjoy the pad thai! They have a very large restaurant great for large parties. They have plenty of parking also I like the drink selection too, the passionfruit green tea is great! They have a new Lunch special option, that also applies to takeout which is especially nice! read more

This place has been here since I was knee high. I was dragged kicking and screaming, metaphorically of course. It is better than I thought it would be for a jack of all trades diner. The selection is mind boggling. For a fill me up place, it is great but if you looking for more this is not for you. read more

It's been a while since we were last here. We used to come to this place a lot when we lived a little closer. We pretty much ordered the same food we were used to ordering. But somehow it didn't taste as good as I remember them. They do serve pretty good portion. The garlic spare ribs was good but nothing special and not as tasty as I used to remember them. Beef steak was good but could be more tasty. The mixed vegetables with beef was actually really good! I don't remember having the beef panang here before but the soup/ sauce was a little too watery and the beef was kinda tough. The bbq pork wonton noodles was food. Service was good and fast. I remember before we always had to wait a bit for our table. Now the place is not as packed and we were seated right away! Ambience is very casual, light and a bit on the loud side but nothing that will bother diners. read more

Portions good we had a lot leftover to take home. We ordered two honey dew slushies with boba. Was good except was t sweet at all. should have had them add some sugar. Service was nice. Someone was cleaning windows and they had some small construction in the other dining room. Parking was easy 1 hr on street and they have their own parking lot. read more

Food: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 4/5 I haven't been here for a while and my family wanted to go eat here for lunch. We ordered noodle world fried rice, pad see ew, cat fish with chili sauce, spicy fried chicken, chicken satay, and grilled chicken. I noticed their food quality went down just by looking at some of the food. When I tasted it, it confirmed my doubts. Satay sauce was watery and the meat look weird. Spicy chicken sauce also used to be thick and full of flavor but it's very light now. I did not enjoy the food. We went on lunch time during the week and they didn't have much tables but yet when I ordered two drinks, it came about 10 minutes apart for each drink. They need to hire more servers or be efficient. Sad that one of my favorites restaurants going downhill. I won't be back anytime soon. read more

Low price, plethora ration of food per order, and above all the quality of unique and exotic flavors makes this my to go place every time although it will take me average 1 and a half hour from Westlake/Agoura area. Totally worth every penny spent, and every effort to get here. We normally take home order so that we may continue snacking the leftovers for all days! The order takers are very patient, professional, helpful, & above all friendly. read more

It's been a while since I've been back, but the food here is still pretty solid. They still give pretty large portions which is great for this current economy. Service here isn't the best, but you just have to flag them down. The restaurant itself is huge and spacious. I usually order their pan fried noodles like the Pad See Ew and Pad Thai! They do offer a huge variety of dishes, if you're craving something different each time. read more

They were okay. I took my picky mom here. She ordered a beef stew noodle. She didn't like it. My wife didn't like what she ordered. I ordered the Thai boat noodles. It was good. Service was okay. The waiter was the one who told me to get the boat noodles. I dunno. If picky mom doesn't like it, it would be tough for me to make a return visit. read more

We got Noodle World for our coworkers to celebrate a birthday and everyone enjoyed the food. We got a wide variety of noodle and rice plates like pad see ew, pineapple fried rice, and etc. When I picked up the food, the cashier was very helpful and used a cart to help carry all the boxes to my car. The portions are really good, it was enough to feed more than 10 people. The flavors are delicious, the only downside for some people was that they felt the pad see ew was a little too salty, but overall everything was good! My coworkers and I would definitely reorder from here again for any future celebrations. read more

A classic for my family. We get their stir fry noodles. Pad Thai. Pad See Eww. Rah Nah is also tasty. When we come with a big group, we will get the fried chicken wings too. Pro tip. Get the green salsa but pickled jalenpeno. Service is okay. Paying is easy since they have a device you can use apple and tap. Very casual place to have dinner with the family. There's a lot of seats so good for big parties. read more

Can't believe I'm about to say this but... the Tom Kah w chicken is surprisingly good as well as the pad see ew. I haven't been back to noodle world for a decade because there's always better specific noodle shops in the SGV. But these 2 dishes are 4/5 for me and so large you get lunch the next day. Also, ask for Thai chili in fish sauce and crunched peanuts as condiments. They are quick to serve and before you even ask, they'll give you sharing plates and bowls because they know everything here is to be shared (due to size of dishes for a decent price, average $16 a dish). I still like the diner vibe although the place needs an upgrade. The Tom yum is okay for me but considering there's no good Thai places here, this'll do. read more

Fast service with getting our order and our foods. But if you need refills or anything else after you get your food, forget it. The servers doesn't come back unless you get their attention. During our dinner, we tried to get a waiter attention for a water refill after he was done with a nearby table, we caught his attention, however he sarcastically said to us that people don't care that he's a human, he's not a robot, people treat him like a robot ??? And he proceeded to say he will come back which he did when we paid for our food at the end. Never got our water refill. read more

It's a solid spot with solid food. The initial service is fast making it a great lunch spot! After you place and get your order it is a little hard to get someone to come around again unless you get their attention, but it is not that big of a deal. I would say this place is great for lunch or a quick bite. There is plenty of seating and does not feel so crowded. read more

Came here during lunch hour on a Monday and it wasn't busy at all! Very easy parking and we were seated right away. I tried the pad see ew, crunchy noodles, and spring rolls. The portion sizes are definitely shareable! I couldn't finish my pad see ew serving. You can choose chicken or pork for the dish. The chicken was cooked well. I would come back to try other dishes since it's pretty affordable. read more

GREAT SERVICE, CLEAN, AND FAST! I work in the area, and I just had to try this soup place that I've heard so much about. Customer service: 5/5 I love that this place is clean, and the women are so nice. They are extremely busy! Like, orders on top of orders type of busy. So I cut it short, and ordered as soon as I stepped in and glanced at the menu. My food took about 10- 13 mins? Cost: 4/5 I think it was pretty decent for the area. I payed $23.00/24.00 for a soup and edamame. I feel like other places charge a bit more per item. Food: 3.5/5. I got the #14, and I did not like the undon soup at all. My edamme was good, but it is kind of hard to mess that up. The undon soup was the real reason I went, and ahhh it was maybe missing...something. The broth itself wasn't the best. The pork may have been the worst part of the meal, it tasted very...off? The smell was also off putting. I am used to my miso based spicy undon (I may have gotten spoiled) because the one I received just tasted so odd and I didn't like it. Too watered down? The fish cake was not edible. All around: 3.5 / 5. Would I go back? Maybe, maybe not. Do I suggest it? 100%, yes! I think I will try a few other things. read more

Wow, what can I say about Noodle World? I've been coming to this location for years. I must say the atmosphere to dine in is not what it used to be. Now they don't even provide chili/sauce trays. Everything is packed for to go orders to in to go containers. I usually order for take out and once in the blue moon, I'd dine in. I came after lunch hours so the restaurant was not busy. I ordered Pineapple Fried Rice and Thai Pan Fried Noodles. In the past I usually ordered Hainan Fried Chicken, Mint Leaf Chicken, Spicy Spaghetti and Noodle World Tom Yum. Extensive menu but not everything is delicious. The noodle soups lately have been pretty bland. I do feel that food here used to be delicious but has been going down hill lately. Still a nostalgic option for locals, I guess. read more

Haven't been here in years. Relieved that the food is still just as good! The spicy beef salad is a favorite. The spicy chicken noodles were good too. Fried tofu was just ok.

I used to frequent this place decades ago during my college years. At that time, this was one of the best places for my friends & I to get a grub on if it was a bit late at night. We knew we'd have yummy food for a decent price. I'm glad to see that it's still true today. The portion is big and yes, the price is decent. The taste of the food, in my humble opinion, isn't the same anymore or maybe I just came on a busy Sunday night around dinner time. We ordered the Mint Leaf Chicken, which was good and came with a huge portion of rice! The Chicken satay was ok. The House Wonton was big but came with too much green onions. The broth was a bit too salty and oily for my taste. I have to say that the service was wonderful! We asked for to-go containers and one of the dishes that we couldn't finish was the chicken satay that came with 2 sauces. Our waitress brought us the lids for both of them before we even needed to ask for them. She checked on us several times too. If you're looking for food with big portion and best bang for your bucks, this might be the place for you. I notice a lot of people were picking up their orders for to-go. read more

I haven't been to this place since college, (early 2000's), but I'm glad to see this place has survived through tough times like the pandemic. It makes me happy to see small businesses like this still open and operating. The food is still good as I remember it. And the classic Big Boy statue is still the main feature in their dining room. Just a nod to the building history and previous business. I ended up ordering the Shoyu Ramen. It was delicious and packed with flavor. It had a decent amount of pork, and pieces of fish cake. When my dish came, I asked the waitress for some chili paste. She acknowledged my request, but was in the process of serving other guests. She became so busy as the dining room began to fill, so simply forgot about my request. Only when she came to collect my empty bowl, that she remembered. She was so apologetic and truly authentic, I didn't make it a big deal. Truly understandable, I was watching her as she was in charge of several tables, and multi tasking. I felt empathetic for the server, I didn't want to ask her a second time. She's already doing her best, and she wasn't stopping for breaks. She truly is a hard worker. I could forgo making my ramen "spicy" for one meal. Regardless, this is still a great place to eat. This won't deter me and I will still come back to this place. read more

This place has been a staple place to get variety for over a decade for us. Pad see ew, hainan fried chicken, spicy spaghetti and tom kah are all hits in our household. Nice tall windows for a street view and a Bob's big boy to welcome you when you use the bathroom. Service is very straight to the point but our last visit, the worker that gave us our togo order interacted with our daughter. She talked to her a little bit and gave her a sample of their shaved ice and our daughter loved it. And when you make our daughter happy, you make us happy. But I'll probably have to get her shaved ice now read more

This review is simply off of the to-go orders we recently got. My wife's family use to frequent here a lot when they lived closer, so they've always talked about it. They go here quite often with the whole family since its so spacious and is a good spot for a lot of people to share items. For my mother in law's birthday, we got a few dishes and I just felt like some of the dishes were quite bland. The beef salad was good as usual but some of the noodle dishes didn't really have any flavor to it. I've been wanting to go in person since its been a while so hopefully my experience & the flavor will be better next time we go in. read more

Haven't been here in years. Stopped by this weekend and the food quality has declined over the years. It was decent, but nothing particularly memorable.

This is a 2.5 rounded up. Too bad we can't be more exact while reviewing. I recall coming here over a decade ago and it was a lively restaurant, and the food was much better. I've been back no more than a handful of times since then and the most recent visit gave me a different perspective. We walked in and stood by the counter waiting to be seated, and even though there were many staff members walking around, no one made eye contact or even acknowledged us. After a short while, a man with no smiles whatsoever seated us in the direct path of the wind from an industrial fan, so it felt like we were outside during winter. No one came by so we just got up and found another table. A short while later, a lady took our order. People there don't seem very friendly or even happy to be there. Plus, one thing I dislike about some restaurants is when the bill comes, they hand you a POS device, swipe your card and stand there staring while it's time to calculate the tip. That's as tacky as it gets. At least pretend you're busy and walk away. Don't worry, we're not the type to dine and dash. The food: Overall, decent. Because they seem to be Jack of all trades, they're master of none. Over the years, we've tried Chinese, Thai, fried, soupy noodles. They were all decent and edible, but not one stood out for us to crave. There were no condiments on our table so we couldn't even adjust the flavors. Asking for to go boxes, I had to get up, look for someone and ask for it. I used to think of this as a place for comfort food. But this past experience gave me anything but comfort. So I think I'll just pass on this for a while and seek out the many other SGV restaurants that offer great noodle dishes. read more

Everything I have tried here has been pretty solid. This spot was hot in my younger days. Glad to see this business continue to thrive during these times. Seemed to have larger portions than at my last visit. Food was & still is affordable with sharable portions. Generous with the proteins. Prices for most stir fry dishes are around $13. Quality of the food has been consistent for the majority of my visits. I like that the menu options offer a variety of asian dishes from soup broths to stir fry. Different noodle dishes from Japanese, Chinese, Thai, & Vietnamese. Great dinnertime staff. Very friendly, attentive & efficient. read more

My friends and I came in on a Sunday night and surprisingly got seated right away. There are plenty of tables and our server was nice. Parking behind was full but there were plenty of spots on the street. We got the Thai Boat Noodles and Hainan Fried Chicken. All their dishes are shareable!! I was able to take it home and ate it for lunch the next day. I liked the Hainan Chicken more than the boat noodles, but if you want something more for warming your insides it would be the boat noodles. I just REALLY liked the sauce the Hainan chicken came with. read more

We've been coming here since pho was $8 and rent was reasonable. So yes, we're loyal--possibly trauma-bonded at this point. Service? Let's just say it builds character. On a bad day, you'll be staring at your menu so long you'll start memorizing it. Once they do take your order though, the food shoots out of the kitchen hot and fast. Menu is massive but we don't mess around--we stick to the legends: Noodle World pho, mint leaf chicken, and crispy seafood chow mein. Those three always deliver. The pho is always comforting even if it's 60% noodles, 30% soup, and maybe 10% of the good stuff. I've dabbled in other noodles before but nope - we've since retreated to our go-tos. Prices have gone up like everywhere else, but portions are still generous--$200 can easily feed a group of 10 with leftovers to spare. The place hasn't changed in years--same decor, same vibes. But it's casual, has tons of parking, and on a good day, it hits just right. Not perfect, but it's our perfectly imperfect spot. read more

We ordered take-out on a Saturday during prime dinner time and it was ready in about 15 minutes from when we placed the order. The food was still very warm when we got home. We ordered: - Seafood Fried Rice - Pineapple Fried Rice (no cashews or raisins) - Eggrolls (pork) The portion sizes for for the fried rice were great for the price. Enough that there were leftovers for the next day. The eggrolls were good, the filling ratio was perfect. Both fried rice were flavorful and had distinct flavor profiles. We would order this again but would also like to try new things too! read more

The place used to be a Bob's Big Boy and it shows. The restaurant's interior hasn't been updated in some time and it shows. The table I got was a bit sticky and getting the staff's attention took time. To be fair, I came in at 2:30 PM on a Sunday and they were a bit short staff. But I will say the food was amazing and the Tom Yum I got was extreme creamy and delicious. Maybe I came at a weird time but the food was great. And I'll probably come again since they have a very wide selection of noodles. I definitely will say that this place has a wide variety of noodles and is more noodle jack of all trades than master but the decor and staff leave much to be desired. read more

This is a popular place for lunch or dinner. They are "quick" to serve you when you enter to dine in or take-out. They also have delivery service on their website. They have you covered, there is something for everyone. The menu includes beef, chicken, pork, seafood, veggie or tofu dishes. Their motto is "slurpin' good!" A few highlights from the menu: APPETIZERS - Chicken Wings, Edamame, Egg Rolls, Seaweed Salad. ENTREE - Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese soups, Wok Pan Fried Noodles. Rice dishes with Pork Chops, Chicken Curry, Catfish, Spare Ribs, and Shrimp Fried Rice. SOUPS - Ramen, Udon, and Pho, and "noodleless" soups too. I didn't see Mango Sticky Rice on the menu, but believe me, they have it and it's good! It's sweet, tasty and has a crunchy topping that I really liked. One serving was enough for two people $9. There are three locations in the San Gabriel Valley: Alhambra, San Marino, and Monterey Park. Bring the family and friends. Most important, don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary sent ya! read more
