    Came here for the first time for the never-ending pasta bowl, and it was a great experience! Our server was very nice and attentive (I can't remember his name unfortunately), and kept checking up on us for refills and making sure we were ok! Food came out quick and everything tasted fresh! Ambiance was nice and it was dimly lit in the restaurant. The portion sizes are definitely huge and my eyes were bigger than my stomach.

    Our server, Jazzmyn was excellent and made our family time enjoyable and fun. Servings were nicely sized and the taste just right. Five stars go to our server who went above and beyond other servers I've had recently.

    Haven't been to an Olive Garden in over a decade. I was surprised to see them so busy with a 35 min wait for a party of 2. Fairly nice in there with lots of seating. Service was average, I think they are spread thin since paying and ordering apps is through the tablet on your table. But food came out quickly. Overall the food was WAY TOO SALTY but I guess that's well known. The breadsticks and the mozzarella sticks were great. The entrees, both the chicken Marsala and the tour of Italy was very bland and salty at the same time. The only flavor was salt. The soups were only average, felt like canned soup. The tour of Italy dish was supposed to come with lasagna but they were out so they replaced it with a ravioli in meat sauce. It was inedible; no clue what was in there. The pasta was also overcooked. I think if I were to go back I'd just get the breadsticks, salad, and apps. Also disappointed that the breadsticks you get with your entree do NOT come with marinara. That's an extra $6 but the breadsticks are unlimited. I believe soup/salad is as well.

    Rating: 3.5 Stars, but 4 Stars sounds great to me. Olive Garden Mission Statement: At Olive Garden, we know that life is better together and everyone is happiest when they're with family. From never ending servings of our freshly baked breadsticks and iconic garden salad, to our homemade soups and sauces, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Credit Cards: They're accepted. Restroom: They're available to use. Visitation Right: Been to this location a decent amount of times. Location/Parking: Located next to BJ's and parking can be a bit tough. Just be patient and find a parking stall in this plaza. If you don't want to do that, you'll be able to find street parking. Just have to pay attention to the parking signs. Ambiance/Decor: Neat ambiance with modern furnishings. They have couple of the tv's in the bar if you would like to watch some sports. Service: Fairly consistent. Friendly, attentive, and offer nice suggestions. Wants and needs are fulfilled at a decent time. Food Of Choice: 1) Unlimited Soup, Salad, and breadsticks: Can't go wrong with this iconic staple at Olive Garden. For the soups, you can choose between 4 soups. - Chicken & Gnocchi - A creamy soup made with roasted chicken, traditional Italian dumplings and spinach. - Pasta e Fagioli - White and red beans, ground beef, fresh tomatoes and tubetti pasta in a savory broth. - Minestrone (V) - Fresh vegetables, beans and pasta in a light tomato broth - a vegan classic. - Zuppa Toscana - Spicy Italian sausage, fresh kale and russet potatoes in a creamy broth. Made with gluten-free ingredients. Even though, it's not considered clean eating, I do like the creamy soups (chicken & Gnocchi or the Zuppa Toscana). The Famous House Salad is good. I normally ask for no olives, onions, and the italian dressing on the side. As for the bread: I like the bread without salt. Bread is life! :) 2) Never ending create your own pasta, never ending soup or salad, and never ending breadsticks. Usually get either the fettucine or angel hair with 1/2 meat sauce and 1/2 5 cheese marinara. Almost forgot the mushroom pasta sauce! Absolutely yum! Olive Garden For Thought: Wouldn't mind coming back. Make sure you ask your server or hostess for some Andes chocolates mints!!! :)

    I went for a lunch special as I was staying in a hotel across the street. Got the breadsticks and garden salad. I weirdly like their salad. The pasta was fine. It's Olive Garden so the decor was Olive Garden. Service was fine. It wasn't that busy.

    I love how they have smaller portion sizes now. Passes are always really heavy so this size is perfect! Our server was absolutely amazing. I just wish I remembered her name! The food was really fresh! I would recommend this location to anyone! Also the salad was absolutely amazing.

    Half gallon of Zuppa Tuscana soup
    Veronica R.

    There's just something about Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana that makes it my ultimate comfort-food go-to. I love grabbing a half gallon or gallon to take home, especially when I'm craving something warm, hearty, and reliably delicious. The savory broth, tender potatoes, sausage, and kale hit every time--it's filling without being heavy and always tastes like it was made with care. My only complaint? The breadsticks situation. When you dine in, they're unlimited... but when you take soup home, suddenly you have to buy breadsticks separately. I mean, if I'm committing to a gallon of soup, the breadsticks should come free--at least a dozen. That combo is non-negotiable. That said, this soup is still my favorite choice when I want something comforting, satisfying, and easy. Zuppa Toscana never disappoints, and I'll keep coming back--breadsticks or not. I'm here 2 times a month for my soup pick up orders lol

    Greasy sauce, supposed to be a cream sauce but the separation and oils made me sick afterwards

    I usually come to this location but today multiple things were off. I noticed there is new management. Soup came out cold but I didn't want to say anything. Then I get my pasta, I only ate a few bites and felt the sauce was off, I pushed all the noodles aside and you can see how it was so greasy and the sauce split. I went home and was sick to my stomach and queasy afterwards.

    Our comfort food. The portion here is always huge that we would never able to finish it. Each entree comes with a free salad or soup. Fried Mozzarella: 5/5. Crunchy, loaded with cheese, pairs well with margarita sauce. Chicken Alfredo: 4/5. Tasty, chicken is tender, noodle is not overly cooked. A little bit too creamy for us. Spaghetti with meat sauce: 4.5/5. OG option. Service was a disappointment on that day, they forgot our utensils and water twice.

    I used to frequent this Olive Garden growing up, and after more than 10 years I'm finally back to see what's changed. They still have the unlimited salad and breadsticks, but now you also get unlimited soup with the purchase of an entrée. I tried a few items this time: Seafood Alfredo - Creamy and pretty good overall. Nothing too crazy, but I enjoyed it. (4/5) Tour of Italy - A fun dish that comes with three different items, so you get a small taste of everything. The lasagna was pretty good, as was the Alfredo, and the Chicken Parm was decent. (4/5) Overall, I never expect much from Olive Garden, but it's always pretty solid. I always enjoy the unlimited sides!

    Olive Garden has stepped up their game. Andrew was a great server, literally on top of everything. We were sat right away on July 4th and ordered the Lasagna Fritta and Spinach Artichoke Dip, which were great. The pastas were good, but the service is what really put them over the top!

    Wonderful service as usual, I keep forgetting to get that one servers' name. He always helps us get some soups togo gotta love that guy. I got the 6 oz steak with fettuccine, I like rare but I should have gotten it medium rare. I should have known better since I finished it there. I was planning on taking it home and filling up on soup and bread sticks. I tried the lasagna which was also pretty good.

    Never Ending Soup, Salad & Breadsticks

    Came to celebrate a birthday and really wanted some soup and salad!! We only waited a few minutes given it was Wednesday night, we ordered drinks and a calamari appetizer to start. We got to sit near the back which was more intimate and a little darker than the other rooms. We noticed they had lighter options on the menu which works out since I plan to have lots of endless gnocchi soup! The calamari was just as good and crispy, love their spicy sauce that comes with it. The bread was warm and glad they gave us another basket when the salad and soups came. We get to dip fresh bread into the soups. I ordered the chicken parmigiana which came with spaghetti and marinara sauce. I also chose soup and gnocchi and chicken which I got four times. When my order came, I was busy taking care of my son so when the server was grating cheese I forgot to tell her to stop, which means they'll just keep going until you tell them! Amazing....glad I got the lighter version because I was super full from the soup. We got the birthday dessert and the servers sang for her, it was the chocolate mouse cake slice which was like an ice cream chocolate cake.

    Has Olive Garden stopped serving a big bowl of salad that everyone can share?

    No they still have it, it's the all you can eat salad or soup and bread sticks

    Is Olive Garden open for indoor dining yet? If not, when?

    Hi Juli, Yes, our dining room is open in Arcadia. We are on limited seating capacity, so we recommend joining the waitlist from our website before arriving.

    Do they honor gift cards right now? Since dine in is no longer an option right now, are they allowing the buy one entree and get another for $5 for pickup and if so, which entrees can we choose from? Thanks!

    What time is lunch start?

    Lunch is available Monday - Friday from 11 AM - 3 PM, Stephanie C.

I almost always order the Galbitang-it's light and comforting without feeling heavy, arrives hot and generously filled with beef.

Every soup I've tried has been incredibly bland and lacks the deep, rich beef or pork flavor that you would expect. There's just no depth or boldness to the broth, which is especially disappointing for a restaurant where the soup is supposed to be the main focus. I came here again today with a group of coworkers, all of whom are Korean, with the majority of us having grown up in Korea. Unfortunately, we all had the exact same reaction. None of us enjoyed the soup, and the overwhelming complaint was that everything tasted bland. Even the kimchi was disappointing. The radish kimchi lacked the crisp, crunchy texture it should have, and the regular kimchi was missing the strong, punchy flavor you would expect. The interior is also very bare-bones and feels like the restaurant was opened with the bare minimum needed to operate. That alone wouldn't bother me if the food made up for it, but unfortunately, it doesn't. It's honestly disappointing because I feel like so many Korean restaurants that open in the SGV end up falling short, and unfortunately, this place is another one that falls into that category. After multiple visits, I can't say I've had a meal here that made me want to come back.

Recently, I noticed the lines disappeared so we came for an early dinner. The interior is pretty cool. It's kit just tables and chairs but the design element is unique. Some seating are inside a honeycomb shaped booth, some are just in the middle of the dining area. We were seated at a table that resembles a birdcage. There's a lot of wood and warm colors, which makes the ambiance stand out over other ramen places. We ordered a ramen, omurice with katsu, some skewers and popcorn chicken. The spicy ramen was delicious, but there was no soft boiled egg as shown on the menu photo. All I saw was a broken egg white at the bottom of the bowl. 4/5. The omurice was nicely done. The egg was perfectly soft and silky with a nice curry sauce in the side. The katsu that came with it was crispy, hot and tasty. 4.5/5. The popcorn chicken was great. Perfect seasoning and crispy. 5/5. The skewers however, were the low point of our dinner. They did not appear they were cooked fresh. The meats were dry and tough. The scallops were OK but tiny. Chicken was average. The whole order did not satisfy. We also got an Amazing Lemonade and Thai iced tea. The lemonade was a very refreshing drink, and the Thai tea is just like all other places. Our server, unfortunately forgot his name, was excellent. Very personable and great at describing flavors. The friendliness extends to the rest of the staff too. It's a nice place to check out. Note their parking lot is fairly small, and shared with Paris Baguette next door. It's a 4.5, rounded up.

My favorite appetizers are always the popcorn chicken and crispy hot piping purple sweet potato fries!! Their ramen is also super yummy, but I prefer their tonkatsu omurice with curry sauce. Love the fluffy egg blanket over the rice on that dish. I also enjoy getting their omurice as a combo since it comes with a Thai tea! As for desserts, I can vouch for their matcha pudding and matcha tiramisu which were not too sweet :) I'm only giving them 4 stars bc it's slightly pricy and also I feel like as nice as the free coupons on the ramen bowl are if you win them, it's also a gimmick especially because you have to redeem it the next time you visit AND dine in. I feel like I have to come back and spend even more money to get my free item, so I feel a little robbed. Something for the restaurant to reconsider. Maybe allow customers to redeem their free item the day of their visit or allow us to redeem it to go instead of dine in. Overall super great restaurant though and everyone should try their food at least once!

The noodles themselves had great texture and the braised pork was a mixed bag. When it was good, it was genuinely tender and satisfying. But the consistency wasn't quite there -- some bites were exactly what you'd hope for, others ran a little dry. For a dish that lives and dies on the braise, that 50/50 split is hard to ignore. The broth also felt like it stopped just short of the depth and richness you want from a bowl like this -- solid base, but could push harder on flavor. The pork potstickers though? Zero complaints. Crispy bottoms, well-seasoned filling, and a satisfying bite all the way through. If you're on the fence about ordering them, don't be. The chili oil on the table is also worth mentioning -- punchy and well-balanced. Use it liberally, especially if you feel like the broth needs a little more punch. One practical note -- the restaurant runs warm inside. Not unbearable, but noticeable. Do yourself a favor and ask for iced water when you sit down. You'll want it. LAN Noodle is a spot with real potential. The bones are there -- the execution just needs a bit more consistency to match the ambition.

There used to be several locations across Southern California, and I'm glad the Arcadia location is still here. Every visit brings back memories.

The Taiwanese meatball soup is comforting, and the Taiwanese sausage always reminds me of night markets back home. What I appreciate most is that SinBala doesn't just serve street food. It brings those familiar flavors into a warm, home-style setting. It's nostalgic without trying too hard. Before you leave, save room for dessert. Their shaved ice is a must. I always recommend the brown sugar shaved ice topped with five mochi or boba. It's refreshing, not overly sweet, and the perfect ending to a meal. Taiwanese food is often overshadowed by other regional Chinese cuisines, but places like SinBala remind me how unique it really is. Simple, comforting, and full of character. I'm grateful this little piece of Taiwan is still here.
