Master Gan Noodle & Dumplings

I was super excited to see soup dumplings on the menu but I wouldn't really call them that. They're a lot smaller than I anticipated and no actual soup inside. Besides maybe a few drops worth. Pork tasted off to me, like what you might except pre-made frozen. I'd be interested in trying their other food but definitely won't be ordering their soup dumplings again, especially not for almost $9.

Good beef noodles! Hand pulled noodles have a good texture. It's great to have a place to go for beef noodles in the valley.

I had high hopes for this place but left disappointed. I wanted to try something different, but I ended up regretting it. The house special noodles were underwhelming, and the service was also inconsistent. Alvaro, the first guy who helped me, was friendly and welcoming, but the girl with glasses who rang me up was the complete opposite. Honestly, I can't say that I'll be back.

Handmade noodles stretched to order in a mall in Northridge?!! The best. And ample parking!!! Worth the trip.

Fresh handpulled noodles in the Valley! This is NOT ramen, the broth is more clear, and the fresh NOODLES are the main event here. This is authentic chinese noodles, if you want ramen then go to a ramen place, if you want panda express go to panda express. The texture of the noodles here are top notch! We got the Biang Biang and Lanzhou La Mian, both are the best you'll find within 30 miles!

This place is fantastic! I went to the mall with my mom and decided to grab something to eat. I noticed Master Gan and thought I would give it a try. I am so glad I did!! The soup was soooo good, rich flavor and the noodles were out of this world. Worth the money, you won't be disappointed!!!.

I love Master Gan it changed my life. It has the most delicious Thai Tea, dumplings and beef noodle soup i’ve actually ever had. Today was my first time and i still have to try the other things they have but it’s already won be over the food is just that amazing. Master Gan pls come over to lake view terrace there’s a building that closed and it still hasn’t had a business from what i see pls pls come over ill vouch for you plsplspls 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The food is delicious and prepped quickly! The noodles were very good and the dumplings tasted awesome! I’m glad they were chicken. The Thai tea was delicious and only cost 4 dollars on its own!! Im definitely coming back again

No honestly, this was so good!! The noodles could be a little warmer but this whole short rib noodle bowl was so fire! and the Gyoza dumplings were 10/10 and the chili oil was actually spicy Come to this place if u really want noodles and meat. It was too good.

Don't like eating inside the mall much. The food is alway meh....until I found this noodle place. The noodles are made on the spot and are delicious. I've had about 2 different types of noodles, but favorite is Biang Biang with medium spice. Nice and spicy, but not overwhelming. Love the price as well. I don't recommend the pan fried dumplings. They taste different from what used to and have indigestion. Great and pleasant service. The ambiance is typical of a mall.

This is located at Northridge mall food court on the 2nd floor. Ordered the house noodle special. Comes with 4 dumplings and choice of Taro or Thai tea boba but with no boba. I got it spicy and nonspicy for my kids. My kids enjoyed seeing the noodles being hand made through the window. The noodles are chewy and definitely a hit with my kids. They said they prefer it to pho. I'm not much of a noodle person so if they enjoyed it then that is all good with me. My kids are picky eaters so finding another spot we can go to is awesome. The food came out quick and it was really hot. So don't burn your mouth trying to eat it right away. It was my first time trying these types of noodles and it was definitely a hit with the fam. Definitely recommend.

This offering should be considered a flagship eatery of this mall. You get to see the noodles being made by someone that is passionate and masterful in his trade. He is mindful of his audience and appreciates the attention, smiling at anyone who looks from afar or locks in with a camera. They've somehow priced things very affordable. You can get a bowl of delicious noodles, dumplings, AND Thai tea for under 20 bucks? That's incredible. The food itself is delicious too. The broth is rich in flavor and not overly seasoned. The beef is super tender and doesn't demand much bite to tear apart. The noodles are cooked perfectly and are lengthy for anyone that enjoys slurping. I kept the leftover broth because it's very difficult for me to say goodbye to something that could definitely be used in a dish home. The dumplings are fine and a nice bonus. The sweetness of the Thai tea is nice contrast to the savory meal. You might find yourself a bit sleepy afterwards processing the heaps of noodles and sugar from the beverage. There's surprising amount of offerings available in chicken as well for those that don't do beef/pork. I really appreciate this flexibility in options.

Doesn't compare in the slightest to the good Beef Noodle places in Las Vegas. I had to try it after reading reviews and now I know.

Who knew a legit beef noodle soup place could exist in the valley, much less at the Northridge mall?? I got a bunch of take out for our weekly family dinner and it was a LOT of food. Their combo is ridiculously a great deal. I do have to warn that if you are lactose intolerant the Thai tea and taro milk tea have a LOT of milk in it - a few of us had pretty bad tummy issues from it :( But that's our bad - not the restaurant's. The braised beef noodle soup was delish - very flavorful broth - maybe a tad too salty but still good. The noodles are hand pulled and you can definitely taste the difference. Definitely adding this place to my take out roster!

Finally, there's a good spicy beef noodle place in the valley. Now I dont have to drive far to San Gabriel for this. The soup is very flavorful. They make fresh noodle upon the order, they are very generous on the amount of noodles. The service is nice and fast. The menu is very easy to follow. I love the open kitchen so you can see how they make your soup.

Inside the Northridge mall food court on the second level. 2nd time in two days, and we love it. Everything is made fresh here. You can watch the Master at work making fresh noodles . We tried the following: - Noodles with beef, very tasty and on the spicy side. You can taste the fresh noodles. - Fried noodles. They were awesome, tasty I wanted more. As fresh as they come. - Fried dumplings. Tender, fresh, and tasty filled with pork. - Shrimp Tempura. Delecious good size shrimp in tangy batter. - Shirt beef ribs. I am very careful earning beef shirt ribs at most places. But after tasting most of their food, I decided to try them out. Oh boy, they were very tender and very tasty. I am not a big fan of eating at foid courts, but Master Gan proved me wrong. If you are ever at Northridge mall, this is a must stop. And one more thing, prices are very reasonable.

Surprisingly so delicious especially since it's located in a food court of the Northridge mall. I ordered D1 which is the special dry braised beef noodle. I ordered it dry with mild spice. Once I mixed it up, the sauce coated all the noodles and was a pop of flavor with each bite. The noodles were so good, beef so tender and flavorful and the spice was just right. Definitely going back.

Master Gan brings a taste of the San Gabriel Valley to Northridge mall, courtesy of the same owners behind 1919 Lanzhou Beef Noodle in Arcadia. Their menu offers a variety of intriguing dishes, including the trendy biang biang noodles. When seeking recommendations, the owner suggested trying their house special beef noodle soup, which can be customized to your spice preference. While Northridge mall may not have been a regular stop for me for food or shopping, Master Gan's presence in the food court has piqued my interest, especially for their flavorful beef noodle soup and other menu offerings. I'm eager to see more unique dining options like Topanga Mall's Topanga Social popping up in the Valley. Here's to hoping for more exciting culinary scene to flourish in Northridge Mall!

Great servings, amazing taste and seating always available! I love coming here for lunch!

Ate here for dinner last night. It's located inside the northridge mall food court. I got the spicy beef noodle soup. The noodles are amazing and delicious. My only complaint about the spicy noodle soup is the amount of chili oil. It was incredibly oil and I couldn't really taste any of the broth. My tongue started getting numb not because of the spiciness but because of the amount of raw chili and oil. I would go here again and maybe try something else, because like I said the noodles were amazing.

Who would have thought you'd find an amazing restaurant in a mall? You can watch the chef make each bowl of noodles to order, throwing and stretching the dough until the noodles are perfectly thin and neverending. The handmade noodles were fantastic with a perfect al dente texture, and the broth was delicious. The tender beef practically fell apart. I absolutely loved this place! The ambiance could be a bit nicer, but I can overlook that for some incredible braised beef hand-pulled noodle soup.

Tried Master Gan since it seemed to be new to the food court. Ordered the Braised Pork Ribs Noodle and it was so good! Marinated well, tender and complimented the noodles. The noodles are freshly made and you can see them preparing them- perfectly chewing and recommend adding the chili oil on them for a little spice. Very kind service from the people cooking, the cashier and when preparing my order. Would definitely come back here to try more things from their menu.

With the opening of Master Gan, there are now 2 places in Northridge - possibly the entire west Valley - to enjoy Lanzhou beef noodle soup. I ordered the combo, which included said noodles, a small order of dumplings, and a choice of taro milk tea or Thai ice tea for just $15. Service was fast, with my food coming before I could reply to a Facebook comment. With handmade Chinese noodles, it's all about the texture. Master Gan's noodles have that perfect chewiness you can only get from fresh noodles made on the spot. The beef and cilantro broth was on point, and true to what I remember tasting in China. This is the kind of noodle soup my parents used to drive an hour outside the Valley to get. The Thai iced tea and taro milk tea were good, maybe not "top-tier" but better than the matcha I had recently from the boba shop at Topanga Social. The only downside to the meal was the dumplings; just lacking in magnificence, unfortunately. They were a smidgen better than the frozen ones from Costco across the street, but sadly, of similar composition. Pre-made, possibly off-site. Good noodles and good dumplings ought to go hand in hand. I'm confident that Master Gan is capable of bringing better, and I'm hopeful they will, as the restaurant finds its footing. I didn't notice Biang Biang Noodles on the menu until after my meal. I do look forward to trying them on my next visit!

I recently tried Master Gan Noodle and Dumpling located in the food court of Northridge Mall and I was pleasantly surprised! For anyone doing a bit of shopping or simply in the mood for a variety of food options, this spot is ultra-convenient. The highlight for me was definitely the noodles - they were chewy, bouncy, and just the perfect texture, all swimming in a flavorful broth that really hit the spot. It's great to know you don't have to trek all the way to the San Gabriel Valley for a decent noodle soup fix anymore. Plus, the turnaround time on orders is impressively fast, perfect for a quick but satisfying meal. The only small downside was the dumplings. They were a bit on the soggy side and didn't pack much crunch or flavor. Despite that, the overall experience was positive, and I'll definitely be back for those noodles. If you find yourself at Northridge Mall and craving some comforting noodle soup, give Master Gan Noodle and Dumpling a try!

I tried their dumpling and bbq pork bun combo with a Thai tea. The dumplings wasn't anything too special amd the bbq pork bun was good but the bread was a bit dry. The Thai tea was good.

Great taste and service. Loved the house special. So flavorful! Definitely coming back for more.

I wanted to like this place but the spicy soup I got was probably okay at best. No problems with service or anything. The food just wasn't very good.

I was surprised by their food! It's my first time to have soo chewy and yummy noodles in Valley! I'll definitely come back to Northridge Fashion Center for the noodles!

Always get a great meal at Master Gan Noodle for a reasonable price. Customer service is always fantastic.

Was very excited to see a ramen noodle place at the Northridge mall. Decided to give it a try. * Order: House special "spicy" * Flavor: It tastes like extremely watered down pho. I asked for the soup to be spicy but they gave the spicy oil sauce as a side they don't add it inside the soup. Btw the spicy sauce tasted like sesame oil with roasted sesame seeds. * Expensive $$$$ In my opinion not worth the money. Pros: Portion side is great.

I found this place on Reddit, and let me tell you, the food was awesome! The portions were huge, so you definitely won't leave hungry. And the soup? Oh man, it was delicious! Perfectly seasoned and super tasty. I'm definitely going back for more!

Yummy noodles....freshly made! Workers are helpful. Can't believe they're at the food court coz definitely not your typical food court quality but now I have the reason to visit this mall just to eat at this yummy restaurant. Don't wait...just visit and try all the noodle soup , you will not regret it .

Absolutely delicious! All of the noodles are handmade on the spot. I've had the round and flat noodles and prefer the special spicy beef soup.

Great food and service! We really enjoyed. The food is fresh and tasty. You can't beat freshly made noodles .

I am adding a follow up on my review trying new items. The braised chicken is tender and savory. I love that it is not salty at all. I ordered the hot beef noodle soup and it definitely has a bite. The combination of heat and herbs makes the soup flavorful without being too spicy. The picked cucumber helps balance the noodles. Great combination. This place is becoming one of my go to faves.

I was really looking forward to trying this place because I heard they made the noodles from scratch but sadly it was a huge disappointment. I ordered the Beef Short Rib special with dry noodle and pan fried dumplings. The pan fried dumplings were not freshly pan fried. They most likely make a batch at opening and keep them in a tray ready to serve. I ordered an hour after they opened so I would hope things would be more fresh. I'm not sure if the broccoli is meant to be cold but it was. The noodles were barely even warm on the surface but the moment I flipped them over they were cold like the broccoli. The only item that was barely even warm enough to be edible was the beef ribs (thankfully). The ribs were the only thing I could convince myself to eat. I was surprised when my food was ready in under 5 minutes but now I see why. I would not recommend this place to anyone unless they like eating their food cold.

I wanted a new Lunch at the Northridge food court. I tried Master Gan Noodle and Dumplings spot. I had the C1 item. It's a delicious beef noodle soup. The noodles are FRESHLY MADE ON THE SPOT. For REAL. So delicious. So flavorful. You can get it Mild or Spicy. I was told to get the mild and he would spice it up if I desired. It was perfect flavored. And the Dumplings were good too. If you are desiring a bowl of beef noodle soup and something different from the food court. This is a good look.

I came here on a whim. The hubby and I were craving Biang Biang noodles and didn't want to make the drive to Culver City or 626. Their house special noodles were good, but lacked cabbage or some sort of crunchy veggie. The biang biang noodles do not compare to others we have tried. Since this is a mall location, we figured that they probably decided to opt out of the cumin or numbing spice. It also did not come with protein, so we added pan fried dumplings and xlb. I took off 1 start because both dumplings tasted like they have been sitting in a food warmer tray all day. If the pan fried ones were made fresh and still crispy and the xlb were still juicy, this place would've most definitely gotten 5 stars for bringing variety to the valley. We were going to get boba afterwards, but the meal came with an option of Thai tea or taro milk tea. The Thai tea was a hit.

I've been excitedly waiting for this place to open! I was at the mall today and saw it finally opened so I stopped by. I asked if they had anything vegetarian and they told me they had a noodle dish I could have. Everyone was extremely friendly and they even gave me a free Thai tea which was super appreciated! The noodles were delicious and I loved the hot sauce that was offered on the side. I will definitely be back!

Combo was super filling and super yummy! The Dan Dan noodles were so chewy with an addicting chili oil sauce. The staff were friendly and kind, and constantly smiling. They were also really inviting and encouraged me to watch one of the chefs make the noodles~

They're new in Northridge Mall and we loved its authentic style! With on the spot freshly handmade noodles, I ordered their house special combo C2 hot braised beef noodle soup that includes 4-piece pan fried dumplings, and Thai tea with choices of cilantro, leeks, none, mild, medium, to hot spicy. Another must try is the D4 braised pork ribs noodle or rice, B2 4-pieces barbecued pork bao, B1 soup dumplings. Once our order was ready, they served the hot food on our table instead of us going to the counter. The combo price with huge serving sizes is reasonable for the price of $18 and we're definitely going back to try the rest of their menu.

I was surprised to see this in the mall food court. I tried it and it was delicious! Authentic! Please keep this new place alive by eating a bowl of the noodles.

This is a new food court joint. With Amazing staff service. The food is made to order, the noodles are hand made. It's clean and stands out with their lighting. I hope this place remains in good service coz the food here is good.

The food is so good! I got the house special lanzhou beef noodle soup and the broth is delicious and the hand made noodles are perfect. Also I am not usually a dumpling person, but the dumplings WITH the soy sauce and chili oil are perfection. I went back to go buy more after I finished my first four. The service is amazing and all the staff were incredibly sweet. I will definitely come back whenever I visit the mall from now on.

Chinese hand pulled noodle!! It's about time a place like this is in the SF Valley! I was looking for a place for dinner. I was glad I found this place. I wasn't sure at the beginning since it is inside the Northridge Mall food court. But I was wrong. I got a combo, braised beef soup noodle, it comes with 4 pan fried dumplings and a Thai iced tea or taro milk tea. It was delicious, the beef was tender and tasty, the soup was excellent. My husband got the house special chow mein, no meat, it only comes with veggies. Dumplings and taro milk tea also came with the meal. He liked very much. I also got the chow mein for my son, I did asked for chicken in the chow mein. My son said the chicken was very tasty and tender. I would totally recommend this place. I told the chef, "I'll be back!" and he smiles.

I am very excited that this placed opened. The noodles are fresh and the staff are friendly. The mall is loud but what can u expect. I'm going to try everything here. Come get some I'll see you there.

Watched a dude hand pull my noodles and they had that great bouncy chew when I ate them. The beef soup was hot, simple and delicious and did not skimp on the noodles and beef. I ordered the special combo and I'm stuffed. Roughly $15 for a noodle soup, 4 fried dumplings and a taro milk. The dumplings were fine but not great so next time I would probably order a la carte and try something else with the noodles. Anyways, I can't imagine a better option from a mall food stall.

Got the C1 special with the house special beef noodle soup. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the broth was tasty. Portion size was perfect too. Also got a side of the beef short ribs and that was delicious. So tender and had wonderful flavor. Overall the food is very tasty and authentic, like what you can find in SGV. So glad to have this place in the valley!

Delicious! Tried the biang biang noodles, braised chicken, bao, dumplings, and taro drink. Everything tasted great and portions are generous. Will definitely return soon.

Hand pulled noodles... that's all you need to know. You should be running to this place now. If you like wider noodles get the biang biang noodles mild, anything else will ruin your taste buds. The soup noodles are delicious too with thinner hand pulled noodles. I'm picky with noodles and I crave the biang biang noodles from here.

First of all, this is not a Ramen Noodle Place, this is traditional Chinese/Hong Kong cuisine. I came here the first week they opened and was excited to try their menu as soon as I saw their methods. Owner and employees and cooks are amazingly friendly. Making noodles from scratch, brazing the meat for hours until it satisfyingly slides clean off the bones. There's no spicy sauce, it's Mala chili flakes in sesame oil used in all south east Asia. The house special isn't supposed to be creamy or brothy, it's clear, cleansing, and herbal. The prices are 11$-19$ which is pretty economic for authentic food like this. It's like I'm back in Asia every time I come here, and I'm happy to see customers coming back. My go to for whenever I dunno what to eat, already my 5th time here since opening last week.

For a mall food court, this place is very good. First of all it's a nice touch to see your noodles being made fresh. I ordered the BiangBiang noodle and braised beef. The flavors of both dishes were very good. A good place for a good Chinese noodle fix without having to drive to SGV.

Went here 2 weeks ago. The soup and noodles are bland, the meat is tender and good. Maybe im just used to ramen and pho taste that I didnt appreciate their kind of soup.

I do not typically leave reviews, but this place deserves 5 stars and is well worth my time. The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the house special spicy and it was everything I could have asked for and more. The broth was flavorful and the noodles were simply amazing. When you walk up to the counter, you can see them hand pulling the noodles right then and there. Additionally, the service is outstanding. They were so kind and helpful from the moment I walked out. The food was ready very quickly as I waited less than 5 minutes. This is truly a gem and frankly too good to be in just the Northridge mall food court. I HIGHLY suggest!

Good noodles, bland broth. My husband and I tried the beef noodle soup and the pickled veggie beef noodle soup. Everything was good for a fast food restaurant except for the broth. It was pretty bland. If it wasn't for the pickled veggies, the soup would have been very bland. We had to mix my soup with my husband's to make his more flavorful. If they can add some umami/depth and salt to the broth, this place has 4-5 star potential.

Soup was so good. And the noodles were fresh. I usually get pho but this was a nice alternative. I was looking for somewhere different and this soup hit the spot.

Hand pulled noodles are a must. The noodle soups were tasty and the ribs were really good highly recommend them. For non Asians the ribs may not be to your liking, but so tasty. The cucumber dish was too salty. Staff were nice.
