Been coming here since I was a little girl, and it is still just as good. Parking could be challenging when you're coming at a busy time. I don't think I had ever waited more than 25 minutes to be seated. The staff is friendly and quick to take your order and bring out the food. Portions are great for the prices too. It's also a go-to place to order takeout and just pick it up. I also enjoy the variety of drinks and boba. read more

Finally had a chance to make it here post covid. The food gave all our friends and I a bad stomach ache. Be careful eating here. We spent the next couple days with diarrhea and terrible stomach pain. Customer beware!! Prices are also a lot higher than they used to be. read more

This is one of my fave restaurants been coming for years and I will continue to do so for as long as they are open . The service is fast ,friendly, and attentive. The food, no matter what your order is amazing ,I myself am partial to the chicken fried rice add in more than healthy portions at a reasonable price makes it a go to for me when I'm in the area. I'm not much for Boba but my partner is and they love all of the bobba drinks on offer so yea I can't speak highly enough of this restaurant if you are a lover of Asian food come here and have yourself some pad see ew and relax read more

1. Waiting time .... ok 2. Waiting time at table.... 20 min without anybody bringing water or taking the order. 3. Food Waiting time ....not so good. 4. Restaurant is open only at 1/4 of capacity. I really enjoyed coming here, but the Waiting times have gone so bad. read more

Food: full of msg and lack real flavor. The ingredients used are cheap. Ordered one of the popular dishes Pad see you. Thus dish used to have other flavors such as garlic and looked much more appealing than what I got. I ordered pork with my Pad see you and the pork pieces looked n tasted funny. The entire dish was black in color from being drown in soy sauce. The little portion of veggies in the dish were bitter and also tasted funny like dish water taste. My mom's Seafood Tom Yum had a 3 inch layered of msg floating on the bottom of her broth. The cook didn't mix the msg all the way through in the broth. I'm disappointed they used msg anyways on top of that; can't believe how much they used. I won't be coming back. read more

The food was delicious and the service was fast. The Boba was bomb. And the price was cheap for the amount of food you get. I really love coming near there so much I want to try. There is not much of an environment though they remind me a little bit of a cafeteria with a lot of families. There are no TVs and no music, at least I didn't hear music. The staff as fast and friendly. My favorite dish is The pork miso Ramen read more

I usually doesn't like to give bad reviews, only when it's really bad then I feel I have to. Just to inform other people. The food doesn't taste good like I used to eat there and the amount not as much as before, but the price got more expensive. We couldn't finished the food because lacked of seasoning. I might not go back to this place anymore. The server Yim has bad attitude, but when it comes to payment, she keeps asking if I already put the tip. To me, that's so rude. I usually give tip 15% because of the waitress so nice, but for her I only gave less than 10%. Actually, she deserves 0% tip. She needs to be nicer and when people ask for something, please respond nicely to all customers in order to get more than 15% tip. read more

Whenever our family is craving fried rice. There is only one place to go. Noodle World. Particularly, this location always delivers when it comes to service and taste! It's in Alhambra, so if you are in the area. This is the spot. We ordered the Garlic Spare Ribs at this location specifically because they always give the best pieces. The Hainam Chicken was on a whim. The description of the dish is what locked us in. Battered and deep fried chicken! You can't go wrong! The Shrimp Fried Rice dish was delicious. A home run; as always. This joint never disappoints! read more

This was my go to spot before but lately the dishes are getting expensive and they cut back on serving tea and condiments.

They're doing outside dining and takeout and curbside pickup. Plexiglass divider between the person manning the register and the customer. I called in my order, was told it would take 20 min, took me 16 min to get there, and while I had to wait in a short line, my order was already ready when I got there. I ordered a taro smoothie boba without having ordered it beforehand and it only took about less than five extra minutes of waiting before getting the boba. The food was really good! The portions are also HUGE. The fried rice had a lot in it--not just pineapple, but chicken, shrimp, cashews, and a huge pineapple slice. It was good. The Thai leaf chicken was good too: ground chicken, a runny egg, and white rice. I think I liked the chicken dish better because it was refreshing and unique; whereas the fried rice was good but probably, in my opinion not their star dish. There was what looked like an old bob's big boy statue, on each end of the restaurant, which was super confusing. The menu was a bit confusing as well, as they had yaki soba but also pad see ew. I couldn't pinpoint what their specialty was, but was content with the theory that I settled on, which was that "noodles" was their theme. The parking lot is fairly large--although there were quite a few people waiting for takeout, and a couple dining outside, there were many spots still vacant. read more

Noodleworld is a great place with a huge variety of food and with large portions. Dishes here average around 10 dollars per dish but a dish can easily feed 2-3 people. Even dishes that are meant for single serve, such as Pho, are huge. Service is good and the dishes come out quickly. This place is great for accommodating groups since the portion size is big and also the restaurant is pretty big as well. My favorites of this place are: Noodle World Spaghetti, Shrimp Fried Rice, and Thai Boat Noodles. This place is also good for take out. I recommend calling them for take it so you can get your food when you get there. Dinner time is extremely busy so if you want to skip the wait, I would call for to go and pick up. The parking lot is a decent size but in case it gets packed, there is parking on the street. read more

Noodle World - Chinese Near Me - Alhambra, California

Noodle World used to be our old standby restaurant for late evening dining. We probably dined here 2-3 times per month, along with the rest of the San Gabriel Valley residents. It was a common sight to see a people waiting in line for a table as late as midnight 7 days a week. Then COVID came and everything changed. When the moratorium on inside dining ended, Noodle World reopened with shorter hours (closing at 9 pm) and a significantly reduced wait staff. In the few times we have eaten at Noodle World since COVID, the food quality has gone downhill as well. Prior to COVID, the food was passably good. Now it's just plain bad. Thai Pan Fried used to be a really good dish here. But when I ordered it back on Sept 9, 2022, the chicken was fully of unchewable tendons and bones. It's supposed to be boneless. Apparently, the cook didn't care enough to carefully prepare the chicken properly. To make it worse, on the way out from the restaurant to the parking lot, I saw an interior window sill with a several day accumulation of dead flies. It was a sure sign that they don't clean the restaurant. Yuck. read more

This use to be my go to spot when I was in high school, for the price you can't complain. Not much has changed. Service is slow at times, and you pay up front at the entrance. You do get a bang for your buck. Can't go wrong with their Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. read more

The food does not taste as good as before. I'm not sure if they change ownership or not but my favorite durian sticky rice taste awful. The durian bowl doesn't even too good to eat neither. I thought they would separate the sticky rice and durian with syrup. My coffee was super sweet and I don't know what are those chunky piece still stick to it (powder?) read more

Honestly hate this place, but my family loves it. The Thai food is horrible, the pineapple fried rice is flavorless with white patches of rice in it. Never mixed well. The only thing about this place is the portion size is huge, but everything taste so bad The spaghetti is what my family likes but its always a hit or miss depending on the chef. The phone line is always so hard to get through. Overall: Food: 3/10 Cleanliness: 6/10 Services: 6/10 read more

Good food, bad service From time to time, if my girlfriend's family wants different noodle dishes, we'll usually here. The wait times are long, parking is horrible, and the restaurant isn't exactly the CLEANEST place. Food: Food is very tasty. They have noodle dishes from around the world and they even have rice dishes as well. I highly recommend getting the beef with rice because it's super tasty and they give you a lot for the price. Pad see ew is definitely another dish I recommend. Service: Service is pretty bad. Everyone's always in a bad mood and they aren't really attentive. Most of the waiters and waitresses hide in the back near the kitchen so you have to flag them down if you need anything. Overall, the only thing saving this from a low-rated review is the food. The food is super worth the wait and all of the other cons. I suggest coming here if you want to try new things! read more

Food is mid and overpriced for its poor quality. I ordered a dish that supposedly had veggies, but it was mostly just noodles with a little bit of meat and one vegetable. read more

Noodle World is basically what the name is...noodles from different parts of the world. In Noodle World, you'll basically find everything in one place. So if you don't know if you're craving Thai, Ramen, Pho, Spaghetti, Chow Mein, etc. you'll find all the choices of the world here! This store is actually really big compared to the other Noodle Worlds and probably the most popular and tasty out of the other ones as well. I ordered the Spicy Spaghetti which they now changed the name to Srirchagetti (???) but it's the same thing. I tried to get them to make it more spicy for me, which didn't really help so I ended up putting chili and jalapenos in mine to make it more spicy. It made it super good and definitely one of my favorite dishes here. The sauce is more on the sweeter side than spicy. But hey, you'll definitely love it when you get it! For $10, the serving size is HUGE. I probably can eat 3-4 different lunches with this amount of food. It's definitely worth it!! I believe all their food contains huge serving sizes so it's definitely shareable with others. One thing that I didn't like about this place is their service. They really suck...even though I know Asian places don't have decent service but the people are kinda rude. When I was ordering to go, the lady that was taking my order really confused me when I was paying... she asked "you'll remember your order right??" and I'm like "huh??". I think it's because she didn't give me a receipt so she's asking whether or not I'll remember my order when they bring it out which confuses me because I only ordered 1 thing...They also forgot about my coworker's food and we were waiting there forever until we had to ask them about it. Other than that, the food is decent and there's a small parking lot in the back that'll definitely be packed if it's a busy day! read more

Noodle World - Spicy Spaghetti w/ Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Alhambra, California

The food isn't amazing per se, but it's the nostalgia and memories that comes with the dish that I love. The spicy pan fried noodles brings back my old high school memories when the Noodle World in Old Pasadena used to be me & my friends old stomping grounds. The spicy pan fried noodles comes with a spicy kick, heaping portions of flat noodles, beef, and a variety of veggies. I was delighted to find out that they still offered this dish here and that the portions were still big and prices are affordable. You probably won't find the best of service here, but it's all in the food. read more

Pad see-yoo is the best I've ever had. The portions are slightly bigger than the San Marino location. I ordered for take out. The only thing I did not like is I waited to pick up longer than expected. Perhaps they were short staff. I'll be back for take out. read more

I'm surprised that I haven't reviewed this place yet and that I only have 1 picture. I've been coming to Noodle World for years. Private parking available, but finding parking (and a table!) is rough during peak times. Service is just okay here. Most times, the waiters are too busy to check up on you. You have to actually flag them down and even then, there's a chance that they've already got a list of other customer's requests to deal with first. The food is decent though, and the portions are generous for their price. I don't think I've ever finished a dish in 1 sitting by myself. I'm either sharing or taking home leftovers. I usually stuck to a few favorite dishes like the spicy spaghetti, the rad nah, the beef steak, or the crispy chow mein, but it looks like their menu was trimmed down! Sadly, some of my go-tos didn't make the cut. It's still a good backup plan for when everyone wants something different or no one knows what they want. I'm still coming back. read more

We normally eat in, but did the phone order. We ordered pad Thai, three different ramen, and the broth was delish. We had sweet rice and mango for dessert. The food overall was great. We highly recommend Noodle World if you're not in the mood to cook. Enjoy. read more

This review is mainly for the spicy spaghetti. I've been ordering it since high school and 13 years later it still taste good. The Hong Kong pan fried noodles are a hit or miss. Last time I ordered it it was great. Today the beef slices were overcooked. The beef and Chinese broccoli to noodles ratio needs work. read more

I work in Alhambra so me and my co worker come to eat lunch here almost everyday (LITERALLY) usually, my order is never correct but I never make a fuss I just pick out what I don't like, not a big deal. Until today that we went in to have lunch. My soup was wrong AGAIN but again nothing crazy. The server comes to bring us our sodas and spills it all over my legs. She apologized and I told her it was okay so she cleaned it up (not correctly) as the soda was dripping down on the side of the table. We had our lunch, we paid, and we left. A thinner lady ran out the door behind us catches up to us in the parking lot and literally yells at us because we didn't leave a tip. We said excuse me? We are not obligated to leave a tip as we only had enough to have lunch and she said "I remember your faces, don't ever come back here!" She was so upset she continued to say things but we walked off in shock that she would do that. So rude and it looks so bad!! Again we're here constantly and we spend our hard earned money to eat here but after this we will never come back. I'd give 0 stars if I could! read more

You know exactly what you are getting when you step into noodle world. This place is super affordable, tasty and huge portions. if you love nooderssss like me, this is your place.. You can literally order any type of noodle, rice nooderssss, egg noodersss, fried, deep fried, anyway you want them they can do it. I've eaten here plenty of times my go to is their spicy spaghettis, hubs loves it when they add extra basil and extra mush in it, second favorite is their seafood chow mein (fried egg nooderrrss) with gravy. Like I said earlier their portions are huge so whenever we order food from noodle world, its usually for lunch dinner and midnight snack! lol I've tried their other locations as well, but I always find myself coming back to the OG! if you haven't tried it wat are you waiting for go try their spicy spaghetti! read more

I always get the deep fried hainan chicken. Service is quick and ambiance is a hommie vibe.

Noodles! YUM This place has a very extensive menu of lots of noodles, it also has some rice dishes. Their dessert menu has lots of boba drinks, kinda reminds me of what happened to that kid in asia that had surgery due to impacted bowels because he had at least two or more of these drinks and brainiac did not chew the stuff, I know, a future politician. We ordered the Papaya Salad, a house noodle soup and opted for egg noodles and a crispy beef noodles. The papaya salad was huge and they use a very pungent but oh so good fish sauce. The house noodle soup will never be ordered again, because they use chicken breast meat, this white tasteless cardboard should only be relegated to landfill material. The crispy beef noodles had other customers coming by and saying "wow", it was ginormous and real good. It could have used a bit more gravy, but you did get a huge serving. This was a very good dish. A quick tip, be prepared to be impressed by the good comfort food and huge portions. It's really not a 4 star rating, but more of a 3.5, but definitely not a low 3 star rating. read more

Not my first time here...been here many suns and moons.m, just finally checked in (LOL). Always a good place for a quickie noodling when all others are closed...they have all types of Asian noodles...so it's satisfying to know there's a place opening late for soups, rice, pan fried and drinks. Also, good place for groups and within the price range for everyone. read more

I been coming to this Noodle World location for many years. If you want a quick place for takeout or late night dinner, Noodle World is a great option. I do have to warn you, parking during dinner rushes can be brutal. You may end up having to park on the residential street area. I usually get Noodle World to-go for the sake of convenience and not having to wait in lines. Of the times I've ordered, the food was ready in 10 to 15 minutes when I call in between 5 and 6pm. I usually get the Noodle World Spaghetti (mild) and Seafood Crispy Chow Mein. For those who've had crispy chow mein, you know that sauce tends to make your noodles soggy if not eaten right away. Luckily, the noodles and sauce are separated for takeout orders. Customer service is not too bad. As long as I get my orders right, I got no complaints. When you have a late night craving for noodles or just hungry for food options I highly recommend Noodle World. They even have boba drinks to go with your tasty meal. read more

Service has gone down a lot. It used to be our go to spot. Food is good tho but having service makes me stay away

I was asked if I wanted to go to a place I've been before or a "new" place... Answer: New place! Noodle World... mmm... sounds like a place with comfort food, right? But... they have ALL kinds of noodles - Japanese, Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese! Besides pasta and pho, there are also salads, boba drinks, and desserts! Wow! I got the BBQ Pork (cha siu) Wonton noodle soup. I found out that "egg noodles" are like ramen and "rice noodles" are cherng funn (we say "look funn" in Hawaii). So, when they ask if you want egg or (wide) rice noodles, you'll know how to answer! The cha siu was on the fatty side, so I ate around it. There were a few stalks of choi sum for color. The noodles and broth were filling and satisfactory! It was a clean, well-lit, spacious environment with two Bob's Big Boy figurines. When I first saw the Big Boy through the window, I thought we were in the wrong place. Turns out that this location of Noodle World used to be a Bob's Big Boy! Haha! Anyway, this is a good place for a warm meal on a chilly night...thanks for the great suggestion, Tim! I'll try the egg noodles next time! read more

Noodle World - Chinese Near Me - Alhambra, California

I have a preference for finding restaurants far away to dine at. The first thing is to enjoy the food, the second is to travel a bit for relaxation, for fun! I've been here to eat about 5 or 6 times; the majority of dishes served here are various types of noodles. The prices are very good, not expensive, and for my taste, the food here is delicious. The service is excellent, and there is plenty of parking space right behind the restaurant. Of course, I will come back to eat again in the future. read more
