Bang Bang Noodles

As someone who looooves biangbiang noodles, I thought these were decent. The Sesame Dan Dan Noodles were tasty, especially with the additional chicken. It’s not spicy, but still quite flavorful. I also enjoyed how the carrot and cucumber balanced with the sesame flavor. The Sichuan Garlic Noodles were okay, but we were not prepared for just how spicy it was. I don’t think I would recommend this unless your tolerance is super high! In my opinion, the spiciness took away from the rest of the flavors. Overall though, I thought the noodles were a bit too thick. They were also quite oily and and heavy on the sauce- we couldn’t finish either order. I think adding a bit less oil/sauce would make it easier to digest, if that makes sense! The service was alright, but the atmosphere was lacking a bit. There was one table in front, and a few in the back, but the seating wasn’t that comfortable or clean. I would say this place is best for takeout. Overall, it was a good meal but I’m not sure if I’d recommend this place because I’ve had better! But perhaps some of the other noodles on the menu are less heavy.

I just stopped by on a whim and was so surprised by how good these noodles were. The summer special was light and refreshing but still filling! The texture on the noodles was nice too. And to top it off the people there were so nice and friendly. I’ll definitely come back when I come up this area again!

It was disappointing to come and see that the quality went downhill since I’ve been here. I really wanted to love it but the portion sizes are small, there was too much garnishing in contrast to the actual noodle, and while mine wasn’t spicy, my boyfriend’s dish (which wasn’t supposed to be spicy) was overly spicy. There are other places in the market that I’d recommend going to before this.

Best and only (?) handpulled Szechuan noodles in town!! These noodles really hit the spot when you’re craving hand pulled noodles. We got the Szechuan Garlic Noodles, Tingly Cumin noodles, and cucumber side dish! The owner was in store and it was so fun to hear about how he thoughtfully created his recipes on putting his own spicy twist to these dishes. He sold us on also having us try the strawberry aqua Fresca which is the perfect dessert(?) drink to wash down all the spice and chili oil goodness. It’s pretty nice at night with the string lights and cool summer breeze. And what’s better is that there was easy parking despite being in this part of town! Thanks so much Bang Bang for not only the amazing food, but also incredible service! We look forward to our next visit!

Arrived here after my friend recommend this place. The service and the food was so so so good! Everything made from scratch and tons of love. Had noodles and dumpling and he gave us some cucumber salad for free. Everything was yummyyyyy Go there now!

Location surprising because the only seating available was outside. However, Robert, a one-man army, was super friendly and made some good recommendations. The szechuan garlic and the cumin hand pulled noodles are my personal favorites, full of flavor and great chewy texture. Food was delicious and I also enjoyed the fresh strawberry fresca.

We had the Sacheon garlic noodles with beef, and they were amazing! The beef was juicy and tender, and the noodles were truly hand-crafted. Overall, the dish was spicy but not overwhelming. There was a crispy element added to it—I’m not sure what it was, but it made the dish even more enjoyable. I have to say, the dumplings were amazing! They were juicy and full of flavor. I absolutely loved them. We also tried the peach tea, which paired well with the noodles and wasn’t too sweet. I would definitely come back to try other noodle dishes as well!

Partnered with my relentless insomnia is the constant scrounging for food videos. It's only been recently that I’ve been able to actually look through all these trendy restaurants in California and be able to bookmark them down to truly satisfy my cravings. Which goes into how we ended up driving all the way down to Culver city for Bang Bang Noodles, buzzfeed - worth it. The noodle bowl on their recent sauce video caught my husband's attention almost immediately. Was it the slapping effects of the noodles? Was it the way the chili oil drizzled over the fat wide noodles? Who knows, but it captivated us enough to make the hour long traffic ride over and we were promptly disappointed. Szechuan Garlic Noodles - ($18) - Just an FYI , the noodles alone are $15, if you were to add any proteins, which they supposedly added in the video it’s an extra charge. And it was like 3 extra pieces of thinly sliced beef. Noodle texture was great, fresh, bouncy and held onto the flavor very well. Noodles alone I would have given a raving review, but we know we aren’t here for just the noodles. The noodles were coated in an EXTREMELY salty sauce. We weren't even able to taste any garlic flavors. By the time we reached the bottom of the bowl, a pool of oil was sitting on the bottom with the rest of the garnishes that were deemed basically inedible from being doused in a hellfire of salt and oil. So, in summary; would not recommend. Preaching to avoid.

Sauce for noodles was inedible, sorry can't recommend this place. I asked for a refund and was told I would receive a refund for of the bowls we ordered but was never received.
