4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: August 2 | Eater LA

"After a 90-minute wait at Din Tai Fung’s Arcadia outpost left us desperate with a hungry toddler, I was thankful for Noodle St right next to the mall restaurant, which serves a tight set of hand-pulled noodle dishes that come out a few minutes after ordering. The cucumber salad is laden with so much garlic you’ll almost breathe stinky anti-vampire breath after dinner (I say this in a good way). The beef noodle soup comes with a choice of four kinds of noodles—standard round, flat, triangle, and knife-cut—and while it’s not a city-class version of the dish, it’s something most palates can enjoy; my highlight was the egg and tomato noodle with chewy knife-cut noodles that soaked up the broth, a comforting dish that tasted a bit like the greatest version of Spaghettios ever." - Eater Staff
