We had seaweed salad, egg rolls and chicken Pad See Ew as our main dish. Seaweed salad was okay, texture was as expected flavor was good and light but dish was cold which isn't for me but I know that's just my preference. The egg rolls were fantastic! Nice and crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful in the inside. Our main dish, the chicken Pad See Ew was really good. This is one of my favorite places to order this dish. I highly recommend it. They offered 3 different hot sauces, one was hot and vinegary, one was a traditional oil, not super spicy and the third was Sriracha. The service was incredible. The server (only guy there) kept referring our drinks and packaged our leftover food at the end. Really happy with this lever of service, he didn't have to do all that. And if that wasn't enough the pricing was good. The whole meal for the two of us was only $28. That's a good value. We were really happy with this experience read more

I literally forgot how good this place was. It's been so so long since we last been here. Maybe about 10 plus years ago? I was strolling through Asian family-style restaurants and came across Noodle World. All the memories started to come back. I told my husband let's have our family Sunday lunch here. Everyone including my parents loved the food. My mom is beyond picky every time we go out to eat. SHE always has negative feedback or comments. I'm glad both my parents liked the food and enjoyed themselves. I highly recommend the pad thai with fried tofu, tom kha, pad see ew, wonton egg noodle soup, shaken beef and rice, and garlic noodle. Every dish we had were packed with flavors and so yummy. Portions are prefect for sharing. Free validation read more

I was feeling under the weather so I checked out yelp for the best pho in the area and this place popped up which I had seen plenty of times. I thought it was just a ramen place, but turns out they have Pho and all types of noodle dishes. I ordered the beef pho over the phone with a felt nice lady. She made me feel comfortable and didn't rush me or anything. They also have a texting system which lets you know when your order is ready which I liked. When I arrived I was confused on to where to park. The restaurant is on the main Street Ventura, where they have metered parking in front. In the back they have a parking lot which is free for short period of time and behind that more metered parking. The noodle spot is on the first floor of the la Reina mall and has indoor and outdoor seating. I came around 2pm on a Tuesday and it was empty. It looks pretty clean inside and if I ever wanted to come eat in I wouldn't mind it. The beef pho was a good portion of food. It came with all the sides of veggies, peppers, and sauces. I liked the flavor of the broth. However I must say that the beef portion seemed a bit underwhelming. With only 3 small slabs of beef, I found myself still wanting more protein. I would like if they maybe had 6 slabs of beef and it was cut into smaller pieces. Besides the beef shortage, I think I would come back but ask for more meat. read more

Oh noodle world we need a location in Phoenix! We usually go to noodle world in Alhambra or San Marino when we're in LA but this time we were not near those locations but we found this location. Thankfully it has all of the dishes we order from noodle world. Other noodle world Jr's. Don't have our favorites on their menu. Maybe things changed or it varies by location. This is a small place, you order first then look for a place to sit. The food came out fast, hot and delicious! It really hit the spot! Unfortunately we were so hungry that I forgot to take pictures! We ordered the beef spicy yakisoba, fried tofu, gyoza and the TomYum soup. Everything was delicious! We will come back next time we're out here. read more

Noodle World Jr - 24. Garlic Noodles - Asian Fusion Near Me - Los Angeles, California

One of my go-to value cheap eats. Been going here regularly but have to admit I have not dined in since pre pandemic. I think they have limited seating now but please call the store to check. This is my go to lunch during weekdays (DoorDash) and I always order chicken mint leaf - as seen in the picture below - it's has fried eggs on top cooked to my liking. This dish is so filling - I actually split it in half and eat the left over the next day. Note that it might be spicy for some - but just right for me. Aside from the chicken mint leaf - I recommend their garlic noodles and the beef steak. These are the 3 dishes I would recommend. Pre pandemic when we used to dine in here - I remember trying some of their noodle dishes but the garlic noodles are the only one that stands out to me. They also have boba drinks as well so when you are in the area and / or order through delivery - try out this place. read more

Noodle World Jr is solid! I like their signature Pad Thai that comes with chicken and shrimp. Another favorite of mine is the BBQ Pork Wonton soup. It's so good! It had bbq pork and dumplings. The egg noodles and broth complement each other. Staff is fine. Ambiance is ok. Recommend for lunch or take out. Parking can be tricky. Street parking only. read more

Parking: Went there right after lunch hours, got there around 2.15P. Metered parking right up front of the store. Brick & mortar: The store is half closed. They have a couple of seatings inside and several outside. Service: Only saw 1 employee. He was very friendly and very accommodating! He kept checking up on us and made sure that we had everything. After we were done, I had some left over water and I didn't want to dump it in their trash bin so I asked him if I can dump it in their sink. He asked for me cup, went outdoor and watered the plants! Amazing! Menu: food and drinks. Menu was simple. Ordered a couple of dishes and both are great! Panang Curry: Came with white rice. Tasty and not too intense. Pineapple fried rice: Great fried rice and not like others that always added curry spice, This one actually without and I preferred it this way. They fried it with a good wok and fire. I don't know how to explain it but it has the authentic smell and taste to it. Not like it was made with a fancy "wok" but this one was made with the real wok and real fire frying this fried rice! Then someone came in ordered their Thai tea boba. Upon hearing her, I went up and ordered the same thing! I didn't see any drinks on the menu so I didn't know that they even sell boba! Of course Thai tea boba was made to perfection. Definitely will be back! Thank you for keeping noodle world authentic even though your restaurant is the Noodle World Jr. read more

Once before a time not so long ago Noodle World was an affordable eat delivering value-minded Asian cuisine. The junior locations are a scaled-down version for an even more casual stop. Dishes here are individually sized and served in takeaway containers no matter whether you decide to dine in or find alternate accommodation. Departure from a communal dining experience, dishes here are limited and really at an average pace for flavors. The simple pleasures of noodles both wet and dry come out of the kitchen quickly and that is really all there is. There is also an overly use of sugar in the dishes. Flavors are not balanced. Rice dishes can be equally discerning. For the neighborhood, this may do exceptionally well, but the value for the seasoned may leave you wondering about alternatives. The service is excellent. The staff is very nice. Most of the business seems to be catering for pickup and delivery though. Parking in the building is expensive, but there is a public lot just across the way from the side street. Otherwise, street parking is an option. read more

Their garlic noodles are so amazing!!! It's my favorite thing on the menu so far (I recommend both beef and chicken versions). Portion size is good. I'm always full after and sometimes have some food to take home. Their boba is fantastic. Definitely try the Thai Tea if you're into that. Inside is very clean, never noisy, definitely enough spots to sit. Can sit inside or outside. I always see the same man there who I assume is the manager. He's very nice and gives good service! read more

Normally I get the spaghetti or pork chop at the senior Noodle World (planet) in Monterey Park or Westwood a long time ago and love love loved it. My friends were in the valley so we dropped by the junior and my vegetable noodle soup was so underwhelming. The broth tasted like mushroom and salt and unfortunately a cup of noodle would have been far superior. I asked my friends how their steak and rice and pad Thai (?) was and they gave an unenthusiastic "it's ok". The portions were fine although I had gotten the impression from other reviews that they were huge although it was just as well they were regular size. read more

We got the chicken garlic noodles and chicken chow mein. Chicken garlic noodles were super umami!!!!!!! Loads of garlic but not too overpowering. Noodles were soft and chewy. I loved the addition of mushrooms. The bit of crunch and sweetness from the corn and peas were perfect. Chicken was not dry at all. A bit greasy, but I didn't mind. For the price, the portions are pretty large. I still managed to finish everything though! And tastes better than it looks in the picture! This didn't affect my rating but fyi: Parking is sorta a nightmare. There's a back lot for parking, but Noodle World did not have validation. There's also no dine in. There are only 3 tables outside to sit and eat. The last time I went to Noodle World was a few years back when they had dine in, and I definitely miss it. It's not the same :(. Service was fast. read more

They are priced a bit expensive but the portion reflects the price. All the dishes got that wok hei (flavor/aroma of the wok fry) so they are good. The singapore noodle is a bit so-so but even so it's still enjoyable. They have boba too, the tea is just run of the mill milk tea, but the boba have a nice chew and they are sweet. read more

Excellent service and great food! The portion sizes are also good and it's a great price. Our family used to go to the Pasadena noodle world when I was a child. I thought all locations had closed down, but saw this location on my drive to work. It is exactly as I remembered. Not disappointed at all. read more

Noodle World Jr - Spicy Beef #8. so good - Asian Fusion Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Even though this is so close to me I could walk there, I had no idea it WAS there. I gather this is a chain and perhaps the Jr. means it's not as big inside. I skittishly ordered the Pad Thai - I say skittishly not only because it sounds like a Jerry Lewis word but because during the pandemic I've ordered Pad Thai from many Valley places and could not find on place to my liking. Anyway, it arrived quickly and very hot, which was great. I took one bite and there it was - Pad Thai that tasted like - Pad Thai, just the way I like it. So, that's an automatic five stars from the likes of me. I may chance another dish or two, but the Pad Thai was great and I don't care who knows it. read more

The food is really tasty and the portions are huge! It is a great place hang out and eat with friends.

I've been here twice and both times the food has been amazing. We ordered the Seaweed salad, egg rolls and the pad see ew. The Seaweed salad was a first for me and I would order again. It was very light and the texture was different but still a very good side to order. I will definitely be coming back read more

I miss you already! So sad to hear it's closed. Your food was always delicious, fresh, and quick. Your fried rice was the best.

Here's the salad w garbanzo beans I am making for lunch after ordering takeout from Noodle World. After waiting 18 minutes for two dishes, with no other customers, I went home and discovered my mint tofu order had been made instead as mint chicken. I'm vegetarian. The cashier I called acknowledged it was her error, but even after calling the manager, they wouldn't refund my order unless I came back to the store with the food. The manager added that their policy is "posted on the website." I am a former regular customer. read more

Noodle World Jr - the salad I made for myself after Noodle World sent me home with chicken instead of the tofu I ordered and wouldn't refund my order. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The four stars is for the customer service, cleanliness, efficiency and food. I had vegetarian ramen and a side of seaweed salad. I enjoyed my meal and thought the broth was seasoned nicely. Oftentimes when ordering vegetarian broth based soups they lack seasoning, but that was not the case. The seaweed salad was also good. Slightly sweeter than I prefer, but still solid. My husband had garlic noodles and although he liked that as well. This is a fun Ollie to get in for a quick bite. I would recommend for whenever you're in a pinch and want a decent meal. read more

I am an avid noodle lover so this place has been on my list for quite some time. The customer service is excellent!! Whoever was the gentleman working on 2/14/20 in the evening provided us with amazing customer service. The food on the other was horrible. The garlic noodles has no taste of garlic whatsoever, not even a hint! There were so many other flavors happening on that plate. Shiitake mushrooms, peas, corn, nuts, cheese... but no garlic flavor! As a matter of fact it tasted sweet. I added chili paste but even then it wasn't edible for me. Too much going on. Garlic noodles should be buttery and garlic-y - this was far from it. The gyoza we had was okay. The pad see you was good, but it's not something I would come back for either. The thai iced tea was also not up to par for me and the boba balls were too chewy. read more

Noodle World Jr was a bit of a letdown, and I'm sorry to say, I'm not a fan. Came here tonight for dinner for my first time and left pretty disappointed. This restaurant has always caught my eye walking or driving past it, as I'm a big fan of noodle dishes, but after giving it a try tonight, I'm not sure whether I'll be back. Perhaps my expectations were set too high. First things first, this is the type of place where you order/pay at the front, take a seat, and wait for your food to be delivered to your table. I was surprised to find that out, but I don't discriminate. I was excited to see what they'd serve up. In terms of noodles, the menu is quite comprehensive, offering udon, ramen, pho, and more. I opted for the beef pho option, priced around $9. Admittedly, this is more like a fast food restaurant than anything. The food was quick to come out, and they do go cheap here. Even the soup bowl was disposable. In terms of taste and quality of ingredients, it definitely missed the mark. The beef was below average, and the broth was too salty. The noodles were all densely packed together, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was just instant noodles. The serving size was not that generous, either. All in all, I think this place is a bit overpriced for what it is. You can find really delicious bowls of ramen or pho at authentic restaurants for cheaper, and the serving size will be a lot larger and more satisfying. If you're looking for an authentic noodle house, I would not recommend this place. While the variety of options is good, the quality and taste is not. read more

I really love this place! Started out coming here when I was sick for some of their pho or Tom kha soups but have since come back after just to eat there ! I still mainly love their soups though, as I don't usually order noodles (a vast majority of their menu-hence the name). Their boba is pretty good too. It comes in a fun reusable cup and has great flavor. Not too overpowering and just enough that you can tell it's sweet, but not too sweet. I also appreciate the service. It's a small order at the counter kind of place with no waiter service but I always get a "how is everything over here?" "Can I get you anything else" which I really appreciate, considering it's a more casual dining spot. Better service than some 4 star restaurants! Also just realized they have multiple locations. Can't wait to try out the others! read more

Noodle World Jr - Chicken Tom Kah. Really good! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I grew up eating the first noodle world in Alhambra. Now that I'm living in SFV, I go to this Sherman Oaks location. Same great food to fulfill my nostalgia. My favorite dishes are the pad thai and chicken satay sticks. I've always loved their pad thai because it's not too sweet like others and it's great with their pickled green chilies. The chicken satay is a new favorite. It's perfect for parties because the meat is on a stick. I recently ordered party platters from them. It was a great experience that I will do again. I put in the order with one of the workers. Then the day of the pick up, everything was packed and ready for me. They included condiments and everything. Very nice! My guest enjoyed the food and I feel it was a good price for a large portion. I'm very happy with the food, service, and experience. read more

Only one word- YUMMY!! I can't say I've tried everything on the menu, but the regular dishes never EVER fail- shrimp & chicken pad Thai, beef pad see ew, and fried rice. Coworkers, friends, and family- we order frequently. Portions are large compared to the pricing nowadays. They're not the fastest at filling orders, but the food never disappoints. We always recommend this place to out-of-towners, and it's always a happy, delicious time! read more

Overpriced and terribly disappointing. Ordered three different dishes for pickup (Singapore noodles, chicken garlic noodles, and beef ramen), and all were bland, flavorless, and very overcooked -- the pan-fried garlic noodles were burnt. Won't ever order from them again, many nearby options that are far better for less. read more

It was heartbreaking that Pasadena's Noodle World closed BUT whatever comes to an end will have another new beginning. Cue Sherman Oaks! I never thought Noodle World would make it so close to home and such brilliance that it did. About time the valley started getting some extra good hitters. Now this is a junior Noodle World so menu's a little tighter but noodles and drinks are still prominent. Their current popular dish: Garlic Chicken Noodles. Hit it with some garlic, throw in some chicken, sauté some shiitake mushrooms and don't forget the garlic crisps! Sorry guys.. I had to opt out of the extra ingredients of peas and corn, I just couldn't go along with the extra combinations. Honestly it did just fine without it! Sometimes you just need to be your own Foodie heroine and not be ashamed of eliminating ingredients when you know how to please your tastebuds best. Service was great especially because we came in 30 min before they closed. I never mean to be THAT customer but they handled it like pros. You got a fan, Sherman Oaks Noodle World Jr! So valley yelpheads, if you didn't know.. Now you do. Your Thai iced tea wasn't too bad either. I'll be back to check out your Pad Thai pretty soon. Till then, continue having a great run guys. You fit in well. read more
