    Dirty men's room door.
    Adrian C.

    I return here for the quality of food: not the BPM thumping techno or the rank-odorous loo. I asked if the volume could be lowered and was told it was "preset". (Yeah right.). Then the loo ... Soilove is a product that cuts through calcified buildup (see pic). Now that ventilation plate is something altogether different. A vacuum will do. The graffiti? Well - just place "video surveillance" signs will deter the graffiti bandits. Also - a sealer membrane over the mirror would discourage the varmints.

    I frequent this location for lunch when I'm at work. They've always been very welcoming and friendly. My food always comes out fresh and tasting great. I actually prefer this smaller location over the Noodle world in Alhambra!

    Fried Tofu
    Jordon C.

    I have been and ordered from here for years, and will continue to do so, but my experience is always almost great and then... meh. I wouldn't bother with any of their ramen, nor their chicken karaage - both belong in the garbagè. Mind you, this is fast food, yet their pho and Singapore noodles are actually quite delicious for a quick fix. Any of the rice dishes are satisfying - roll the dice and order them twice and enjoy the fair price! Enough rhyming, give them a go. I love their Thai and matcha smoothies! Their satay salad comes with a beautiful peanut sauce, the seaweed salad can be a bit slimy at times, but oh so flavorful. The fried tofu could use a little more frying, but the sauce that comes with it is wonderfully sweet and savory. Orders are quickly made and the staff are always friendly.

    This is my new go to spot for a quick bite after LAX. There's ample free parking in back. The food is quick and the people at the counter are friendly. Its affordable so you can treat whomever picked you up at the airport to dinner without further depleting your travel funds. And the food is good. I got their special which was a Tom Kha Soup with beef instead. The beef was super tender. The broth was spicy. Like very spicy and i cant usually handle spice. They have lots of seating. Its nothing fancy but spacious. I like that they provide take out containers on the counter so you can take your leftovers home without even asking for a box.

    BBQ Wonton Noodles
    Hendra W.

    There aren't many choices to choose from when it comes to Asian Noodles (Japanese ramen excluded). However Noodle World Jr. definitely hits the sweet spot when it comes to these dishes. The restaurant is spacious, clean and customer service was great! The food: BBQ Wonton Noodles (8/10): This is a classic Singapore's dish. If you would like to have a light tasting but delicious soup noodle, this is the one for you. I thought the soup wasn't thick in flavor, the BBQ pork was tasty and the texture was also not hard to chew. I also loved how they added some vegetables into this dish. The wontons (steamed dumplings) were also tasty. The only complaint that I had was that their noodles tasted a little soggy. Singapore Noodles (9/10): This dish is also known as Fried Bee Hoon. This dish tasted delicious. The portion was huge and they were also generous with the pork slices. This dish can easily become salty, seasonings have to be just right and they cooked it really well. Tom Yum Ramen (10/10): Not technically ramen, but it's named that way! However, names aren't important, this was probably my most favorite dish among all the dishes I have tried. This dish tastes mildly salty and sour (how tom yum should be). The noodle's textures were much better than the one in BBQ Wonton Noodles. Portion was generous and the soup was savory. Mango Sticky Rice (10/10): This was a SEASONAL dish. Therefore, I am not sure if they would still have it if you were to visit the restaurant. Anyhow, we went to Noodle World Jr. for more than five times in a month and we always had to get their mango sticky rice. Portion was good, their sticky rice was sweet and chewy. Also, mangoes were sweet and juicy! Totally recommended! If you are near LAX and love Asian noodles, then you definitely have to try the noodles served in this restaurant!

    26. Singapore Noodles
    Russell R.

    If you want great noodles, reasonable price and a quick meal, this is the spot near LAX! Everything here is good! My favorites are: Singapore Noodles, Drunken Noodles and Pad Thai!

    Noodle World Jr has become a staple stop on the way to LAX or a welcome back to LA visit. The garlic noodles are very flavorful and portions are a good size. You can got wrong with any of the noodles selections, pho or ramen , etc. great service and welcoming staff.

    Amit L.

    Ehhh...it's good but it has potential. First time trying Noodle World Jr was executed by Grubhub and it really disappointed me. I had ordered the yakisoba with shrimp and chicken and they forgot to add the shrimp. The amount of chicken in there was barely non existent. The flavor was very mild and I had to tweak it with garlic salt, soy sauce, sriracha, and some fresh chilies, not to forget adding my own shrimp and more chicken to the dish. Recently I went back but this time I went into the restaurant. I decided to give them another chance and ordered the Drunken noodles. It wasn't bad. The Jalapeños had a kick to them and they didn't forget my protein of choice this time. I think they could've added a little more sauce or salt because it tasted like there wasn't any sodium in it and it was dry. Since it was a take-out order, it was ready for me within 10 minutes. The staff was polite and friendly. I would definitely go back and try their soups and see how I can "jaz" it up.

    Chicken Tomkah mild spicy

    I ordered the chicken Tomkah mild with veggie egg rolls and it was so yummy. It had a lot of flavor and it was served with mushrooms.

    6. UDON
    Megan B.

    The udon broth is so flavorful. This is my favorite spot to order udon to go. I substituted the pork for additional fish cake. My only issue is They still charge even for substitution.

The regular menu is quite expensive with the cheapest at $17 for appetizer and salad options and most expensive at a whooping $80. The lunch menu was more affordable but still on the pricey side $21-$32 with add on options. The waitress was taking our orders and what surprised me was with my co-worker ordered the pad see ew and the waitress asked her how spicy she wants it. I was aw shocked. I'm not a Thai food expert but I do know pad see ew is a noodles dish that's offers a sweet soy sauce flavor. Never served spicy. I didn't get to try the dish but when I asked my co worker how it taste she said it was spicy and not sweet at all. I'm not sure that was an authentic pad see ew. I ordered from the lunch menu and got the tumeric chicken, with steamed vegetables and paid extra $7 to substitute for a papaya salad. I asked for #2 spice level but it was not spicy at all. Other co workers said they asked for medium but it was way too spicy. So it looks like their spicy levels are inconsistent. I'm not sure how this restaurant can justify the prices with the quality they are serving. Probably won't be back. Service was mediocre. Didn't offer to refill our waters.

The rice was piping hot and the mangos were sweet and soft, drizzled with a generous serving of sweet coconut milk. Personally, the rice was a bit too soft for me and the coconut milk was a tad too sweet, but it still scratched the itch I had for mango sticky rice. I went close to closing so the staff could only offer me takeout, which was fine. They were friendly both over the phone and in-person when I picked up my order. I'm only dinging it a point because of its high(er) price point. I would be down to go back again to try out their entrees next time though!

My wife and I came for my birthday outing (she surprised me). Thai is always a "go to" and when we hit LA it's food time. The appetizer set the tone - crab wontons (ummmm - yeah I'm no food geography expert but I imagine they didn't originate in Thailand but who cares they rock!) My wife said probably the best she has ever had - crispy, creamy, actual crab sightings in the filling - loved it. Green curry - loaded with ingredients and aromatic and enticing. Eggplant, bamboo shoots lots of meat, veggies - and the curry underneath was loaded with flavor. Medium spice hit just right (I can handle Thai hot but I am taking it easy ok??) Drunken noodles - but an udon version? Let's try it - loved it! Again - plentiful meat, basil fragrance wafting to my nostrils, spicy sweet and savory blended sauce - fantastic. Verdict?

I felt like I came to eat and my mom's house. They take Debit Card and Apple Pay WITH a pin only. I forgot my wallet and paid with Apple Pay. It did not have a place for tip which made me feel awful. At the end I apologized and she was like "it's ok, next time." And she was genuinely fine with it. She reassured me not to worry about it. So I'm determined to come back to tip her because if anybody deserved a tip it was her. I ordered Pad Thai with tofu- I like to order peanut sauce on the side and the woman found it interesting and struck a non judgmental conversion about it. I could really tell she was genuinely curious. This was my favorite dish. It was good. I also ordered spicy fried rice with tofu and spicy panang curry with vegetables. I chose 4 out of a 6 for spicy and it was not spicy at all for me. The rice was fine, nothing extraordinary and nothing bad. The panang curry was yummy. I don't know if it's regional but it was very light in taste and light in thickness. BUT I enjoyed it for what it was. Felt like I had gotten home made chicken soup or something like that comforting and not overly processed. Maybe it's because I ordered it with no protein and just vegetables. I ordered a lot of food so I explained to her that I was going to eat some and take the rest to go. When she brought the food she brought it nicely packed without a bag. She also brought me a real plate and utensils to eat here. She let me know that when I was ready she'd bring a bag which I thought was thoughtful. She also made sure to say "take your time, no need to rush. We close at 8" and it was 5pm. Again, it felt genuinely nurturing, she wanted to make sure I felt taken care of and welcomed. It meant a lot because I was frazzled from forgetting my wallet and from having a hard day at work. This was my first time here and it won't be my last. There is a small lot on site.

What I judge is the response....which is what prompted my original review. Several of my reviews here deal with that response rather than an isolated incident, and that's where a company's true colors shine. It isn't when everything is running smoothly when that recognizable critic is present (and also my objection to having a clear photo as requested by Yelp), but when the unexpected happens to an otherwise anonymous customer. How the staff manages their response when a valid complaint is made make all the difference, and unfortunately it took taking my complaint public to get a response, but yes, they came through in the end and I'm happy to recommend them again.

And I've always been circumspect about "quick serve" versions of these cuisines...and apparently for good reason My friend (who apparently thinks this restaurant is fantastic) suggested we try it so I was game. We both ordered lunch specials for $16.95. My choice was the basil chili and pork which came with a choice of soup or salad. My friend ordered the broccoli cashew with chicken. We both opted for a salad and brown rice. The salad came with a disgusting ranch dressing but turned out to be the best part of the meal. My entree had lots of diced zucchini, bell peppers and carrots in an indescribable goopy sauce along with a giant mound of brown rice and a fried vegetarian egg roll. It was both unappetizing and virtually inedible. There was paper thin pieces of pork as well which didn't improve the experience. My friend's cashew/broccoli with chicken looked equally unappetizing but he ate it with great delight. I wouldn't feed this food to my dog and I can only posit that this dumps' longevity can be attributable to fast and cheap. Because there's absolutely no other reason I can imagine that ANYONE would think this dreck even approaches the concept of Thai food. To make matters worse, several hours later I developed a stomach ache and came down with explosive diarrhea. Do yourself a favor and stay away from ANY ethnic restaurant that offers cheap lunch specials or buffet service. If there was an option to rate this restaurant with zero stars I would have!
