Meet Qin Noodle Review - Alhambra - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Meet Qin sits on a stretch of Main Street in Alhambra with excellent food—including dim sum at Lunasia or stir-fried Indonesian dishes from Borneo Eatery—but this noodle joint holds its own. Hand-pulled noodles are available in three ways: in soup, stir-fried, or dry. The sizzling oil biang biang noodles are as head-turning as the fajitas at Chili’s, still sputtering as the chili crisp blooms in the hot oil. The noodle soup isn’t as performative, but the clear broth with tender beef chunks is pure comfort. There are also fun riffs, too: mapo tofu noodles arrive with generous amounts of cubed silken tofu and fiery minced pork, while the egg and tomato soup is gently sweet with fluffy egg curds." - Kat Thompson

I think I found my favorite local noodle spot ❤️ Meet Qin Noodle is fresh and flavorful. Location is clean and well lit, staff is friendly, service is quick, and prices are great! It’s everything you could ask for. Free parking in the garage nearby. Great spot in downtown Alhambra with lots going on. The “Chinese burger” was fine but felt like a gimmick, not really worth mentioning. But the noodles are out of this world. They’re very fresh and well cooked. We tried the biang biang noodles all 3 ways, stir-fried, soupy, and in the 3-in-1 sauce. It was all delicious but the stir fried cumin lamb stood out in terms of flavor and texture. Highly recommend and will absolutely be back for more!

Service was fast and friendly. We ordered dine in and take out. They wanted the food to be fresh for take out so they cooked it fresh. I had the cumin lamb and cold noodle it was flavorful and the lamb was tender. It did not have the numbing spice like the Northern Cafe one if that helps. I came back here and got spicy cold noodles. It didn’t taste spicy but it upset my stomach and woke me up at 3am :(

I have been dying to try cold spicy noodle. It uses fast food ordering system: you order at the counter and they will bring food to you (but you don't pay until the end). The place is clean and staffs are friendly. Did came out faster than I expected. It also has the best Chinese burger I have tried. The cold spicy noodle was great as well (btw, it's not spicy at all and has a strong fresh garlic flavor).I wasn't impressed with 3-in-1 noodle dish. The noodle lacks texture and tomato paste dominated the flavor. Overall, definitely give this place a try if you are in the neighborhood. 👍

Food is good. I really love their pepper noodles. I love their skewers. I frequent here often. Lots of very large tables. No small ones I also wish they played a little music or something. I feel like this place could be really trendy if they changed the vibe up a little bit. The guy who takes orders here seems miserable. The woman always has great vibes

This is my second visit. I had #N11 last visit. It was very good. I ordered a hamburger like sandwich (#R2, a pan toasted crust filled with sliced beef with chili bites) and a plate of cold noodles (item #C1).. I finished every bite and drank the soup to the last drop. Fresh ingredients. No MSG, I did not feel thirsty at all. Definitely worth a try if you are a fan of noodles Parking structure is behind the restaurant, and the rear door is open. They take order at the counter and serve to the table. Pay after you eat. Will return again for other items.

Absolutely spectacular noodles. Friend told me to try the 3-in-1 which includes tomato sauce and I told her that if I wanted tomato sauce, I'd get spaghetti. However!!!! It was anything but!!! Absolutely spectacular bowl of noodles with different spices and very very thick rice noodles. The marinated pig ears are pretty fantastic as well!!! A must try!!

We wondered into Meet Qin not knowing the type of food served here. As both of us can't eat spicy food, we went with the server's recommendations of the beef noodle soup (N1) and biang biang noodle with egg tomato gravy (N12). The noodles are made there and you can certainly taste the freshness.

Decent spot to get your hand-pulled noodle cravings in! I will say SGV has a lot of great shaanxi restaurants, so it’s hard to give out higher ratings, but overall this place was good. It was fast and easy to order, but I’d probably try a few other spots before coming back here. We tried the spicy noodle soup and the sizzling oil Biang-Biang. Both were flavorful but a tiny bit greasy. I would definitely want to try the classic cumin lamb next time but I wasn’t in the mood at the time. Overall decent place!
