Noodle Art

SO good! I’m half Taiwanese and often crave a bowl of beef noodle soup. Noodle art delivers! They make their own noodles, you can watch in the back how there’s a chef pulling noodles into perfection. Lots of ways to eat noodles here - soup based, with meat sauce, and even cold! I love their display of options, it reminds me of going to Japan and seeing their menu on display. They have delicious bokchoy, and tomato egg - a dish that my mom used to make growing up. Ordering ‘for here’ means you can eat from their wide decorative bowls, they’re super pretty. You can also choose your own level of spice from 0-5! They serve authentic jasmine tea and honey teas in bottles, along with coke, sprite, and San Pellegrino. My big bowl of beef noodle soup came out to less than $16 after tax, and I was 10000% satisfied. Will definitely be coming back to try other options!

Loved the fresh hand-pulled noodles, super springy and flavorful! The spicy beef noodle soup hit the spot, and the portions are generous. It’s a great spot for a quick bite while exploring the market. Just a heads-up: some dishes can be a bit oily, and seating gets tight during busy hours. Still, definitely worth a visit if you’re craving solid Chinese comfort food.

Both meals were great sizes and so yummy. Lots of great flavours and felt/tasted very authentic

Fresh handmade noodles without waiting long. Plus you get to choose your spice level. Majority of bowls are only $13.99 and really filling. This place is my go to now whenever I’m at the farmers market.

A gem in the farmer’s market. Very good. Lots of v yummy choices. Get #6 hand pulled noodles with topping choice. Egg tomato and potato vegetable and braised pork goooodddd. 3 level spicy mild.

Initially I was super overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of restaurants at The Original Food Market, am I'm so glad I decided to give this place a try. Super friendly and quick service (waited roughly ~3 minutes) and the food was very authentic and well portioned. Got their braised beef noodles and I loved every bit of it, my only regret is not adding more tomatoes and eggs which they give for free among some other toppings. Definitely would come by again if I'm ever in the area.

Good cheap feed. I got the level 1 spicy formy beef noodles. Be warned it's the numbing chilli. Otherwise, really good and affordable feed.

Extremely good chicken noodle soup, rice with shrimps or chicken. Just didn’t like crowded market place but it is not about “Noodle art”.

Noodle Art is a newish stall in the West Patio section of the Farmers Market, where it's been slinging handmade Chinese noodles since sometime last year. If there's been buzz about it anywhere, it certainly missed me. I only found it because I was hungry at the Grove and it had solid Yelp reviews. It's definitely a casual spot, best for a quick lunch when you're already parked at the Grove or Farmers Market. I went with my two-year-old and our nanny, who met us there, and it was an easy place to grab a table and eat a good, low-key meal. The stall was run by a pleasantly gruff, efficient Chinese man, and service was nice and fast. My only complaint is there was no water available for customers. I begged a cup off a neighboring stall just to hydrate the baby. The noodles were great. Not quite as springy and fresh as you might get at a top spot in the SGV, but excellent for the middle of L.A. There were noodle soups and rice dishes on the menu, but we just got two of the signature dry noodles, plenty of food for two adults and a toddler. The #6, or Three Toppings Spicy Handmade Noodle with Pepper Oil, was a satisfying combination of wide, chewy noodles and spicy chili oil, with three choice of three readymade toppings, added on by the scoop. I got the braised chicken, the spicy pork, and the egg and tomato, and these all worked well. I ordered the #8 Stir Fried Lamb or Beef or Chicken Handmade Noodle in Cumin Sauce with chicken and the thinner udon noodles. I also got it without spice, since my son would be eating this one. It was 100% mild but big on flavor, with plenty of cumin. I was honestly relieved that my kid liked it. I thought it was delicious, with soft noodles stir fried with tender chicken and vegetables. We took home about half of the #8, and I very much enjoyed the leftovers (which I did blast with sriracha). I'm a fan of Noodle Art and would highly recommend it if you want some good Chinese noodles in this part of town.

Pretty good! I've been looking for a restaurant that has similar offerings to Xian Famous Foods in NYC. This is the closest thing I've found so far in LA. I ordered the spicy cumin lamb noodles and requested that they be served with the wide noodles vs the the thin ones it typically comes with. Flavor was spot on. Noodles were a bit too thick and doughy. Those are generally good things imo, but in this case it made the noodles a bit uncomfortably chewy and cumbersome. I wish it had more cabbage mixed into the noodles since this is a pretty heavy dish. Service was prompt.

First time dining here and I'd rate it as a 4/5. Portion is very generous and there is a wide selection of options, from noodle (in soup or dry) and rice dishes (pictured here). I grew up in the San Gabriel Valley so I was spoiled with incredible Chinese and Taiwanese food growing up. I have a high bar for this cuisine (for better or worse in writing this review). Noodle Art's braised pork was quite tasty but not as nuanced in flavor that I'm used to. The rice was not as moist as I had hoped for but still good. I am down to try the other dishes, especially the noodle options- they looked delicious from what I saw other diners eating. I'll make an updated review if I have a different opinion the second time. Try this place out if you're craving some solid Asian rice and noodles, at reasonable prices.

Noodle Art is located near the bathrooms in the Farmers Market near the West Patio entrance. For less than $15 you can enjoy a generous bowl of noodle soup, a dry noodle dish, or a rice dish. For this price alone, it's worth a try and it's especially nice on a cold fall night. If you're with a group, have a person, or a few people, scout out a table while one person orders for everyone. Tables can be hard to find during busy hours. You could order using the QR code but it was confusing and the website was hard to navigate. The line was actually faster. Plus you know that they have your order. I got their Braise Beef Clear Soup ($13.99) and was told I could add a few toppings with it. I added veggies and bok choy with the wide noodle. The soup's broth tasted more on the bland side. Their veggies were nice, very chewy and cooked perfectly. The beef was tough and I didn't finish all of it. The noodles were soft but didn't break a part. They were good. My husband got their Braised Beef Stew Brisket Soup and were given thin noodles instead of fat ones. He said his broth was okay, slightly spicy which he was fine with, but his beef was chewy. Overall I would come back if I had friends who wanted to try this place, but if I was by myself I'd skip and try another place.

In a tourist area such as Farmers Market, where Dubai chocolate tablets can go for $20, it was refreshing to see a food place where you can get a nice meal for less than $15. Located by the restroom (it can be the best and worse location depending who you ask), it has a huge menu on the wall with pictures and descriptions of the dishes. We ordered Braised Beef Noodle Soup and 3 Toppings Spice Noodle with Pepper Oil. Both non-spicy. We also ordered them with wide noodles which are similar to Pappardelle pasta. Braised Beef Noodle: the broth was flavorful, beef was soft and the noodle was cooked perfectly. 3 Topping Spicy Noodle with Pepper Oil: you can choose the toppings from the serving trays and they will mixed them with the pepper oil before serving. The noodle's consistency was very good. The seasoning was on the spot: flavorful but not overpowering. The combination of the topping with pepper oil was delightful. The service could be better however it is not really a big deal considering how busy they were.

The food here is hot, fresh and delicious and the portions are generous. You can easily share one dish between two people for $14, that's pretty amazing value these days. You can see them cooking the noodles fresh behind the glass too. This was my first time having Xi'an style Chinese food, and I certainly will be seeking it out more after this. We got the lamb stir fried noodles in cumin sauce, and I'll also admit this is the first time I've had a cumin-flavored dish. I'm not even a fan of cumin, but it worked really well here. The dish was also very peppery and spicy, it just really hit the spot. If you're at the Grove doing some shopping, popping in here to snag some fresh noodles wouldn't be a bad idea at all.

This place was so good! The noodles were fresh and hot. Even though it was busy they got our food ready pretty fast. Definitely recommend of you're in the area.

After passing by this amazing fragrant stall a gazillion times I finally decided to try it. Every time I pass by I can smell the cumin, so I ordered stir fried noodles with beef in a spicy cumin sauce. My order was ready fairly quickly and I was also provided some chili oil for that extra kick. You can adjust the spice level to your preference, I asked for 3, but the receipt said 2. After I added the chili oil, the spice level was perfect. Everything was cooked well and the texture of the noodles still had a nice chew. I loved the amount of stir fried veggies in this dish too. This might just be my new favorite place to grab a bite at the farmers market, we will definitely be back soon!

Finally!!! A spicy cumin lamb with wide flat noodles!!! Almost on par with the NY Xian famous foods one. You can pick your spice level 1-5, I got a 4 and it was spicy but not too overwhelming. Hand pulled noodles were fresh and chewy, not too thick. And lots of veggies! Parking validation for the lot too! I believe 90 minutes free with validation

A gem in the farmer's market. Very good. Lots of v yummy choices. Get #6 hand pulled noodles with topping choice. Egg tomato and potato vegetable and braised pork goooodddd. 3 level spicy mild.

Came here on a whim as I was actually gonna hit up Pasta corner. The last time I came it was closed and not yet open for service. This is some great hand pulled noodle and the texture and flavors were on point. I choose the three items where you can pick your three to go with your hand pulled noodles. I did beef, spicy beef, and veggie. Man all I can say is yum! This is a food court type so order your food and find a spot. I'll be back the next time I'm in the area!!

So happy that Noodle Art opened at the Original Farmers Market! I don't have to drive all the way to the SGV to get Xi'an food and soup! Straight off the bat, 5 stars for price, quality of food and accessibility in a neighborhood that does not have these kind of noodles accessible. The braised beef brisket spicy noodle dish was delicious! So much flavor in the broth and it has just enough of the numbing heat. The noodles were just the right amount of chewiness and was packaged separately in my to-go order. They do have other dishes like cold noodle dishes, lamb or pork hamburgers (please refer to the pictures others have posted as it is different than American ones) and rice dishes. Prices are very reasonable for Farmers Market and you get so much food for the price. Service was great! Friendly and efficient. Man behind the counter did a wonderful job introducing their business. I hope they do very well in Farmers Market! I will be updating my review as I try new items.

Great find at the farmers market! We were pleasantly surprised by Noodle art! Both their noodle soups and dry noodles are flavorful and tasty! Portions are good and QR code ordering is super convenient! Will definitely be back when we're at the grove :)

The noodle soup was pretty good. I added chili sauce for a little heat and salt. There were scrambled egg and potatoes and bok choy. I wished I had ordered double noodles, because they were homemade and delicious.

The handmade noodles with cumin lamb are quite good. Nice to have good Northern Chinese food here.

Yummy number 7! Braised beef, beef brisket, and minced vegetables. Super fast service, delicious flavors, and tasted fresh! Loved the noodles and the level of spice. We dined at a table nearby the spot in the market. The bowl was huge and a good value!

First time here. Although the food was decent, I do not believe we will be back. The price was rather high for some noodles. It is all outdoor seating and may be difficult to find a spot if you come during a high traffic time.

Cheaters ! We got #3 yesterday in reliance on colorful picture of that spicy soup that promised a variety of vegetables in it What we got was essentially a bowl with 90% of broth /noodle content and 10% of microscopic pieces of sausage and potatoes ( not real vegetables ) + literally only 2 pieces of bok choy The picture at the store and the description are MISLEADING, doesn't reflect the real deal : high carb, low quality meat, virtually no vegetables meal to saturate your stomach with carbs ! They need to change the ratio: 20% noodles, 20% meat ( not sausage) , 30% vegetables ( exclude potatoes which should never be mixed with noodles in the first place!) and the rest is spicy broth ( the broth is ok by the way )

One of the worst/disappointing dining experiences. First my husband ordered our spicy braised beef rib noodle soup using the QR code along the counter. He waited about 15-20 min and noticed everyone who ordered before and after us got their orders. He then inquired about our order which the workers received the print out but it was missed. The worker said he gave us some extra beef given the prolonged wait time. We ordered wide noodle but after starting to eat we realized we were given the wrong noodle. My husband brought back the dish to the counter but they said they ran out of wide noodle. Upon leaving we saw others receiving their order which was served with wide noodle. Not only did they not want to correct their mistake of giving us the wrong noodle but also lied about running out.

Absolutely phenomenal. In original farmers maket near 3rd street entrance. Dude in the back making handpulled noodles from scratch. Limited but delicious menu. I love the stir fry noodles with cumin but can't go wrong. Seating hit or miss in market. Service friendly, counter service, 5-10 minutes prep.

I've been here quite a few times since they opened. This place is a massive improvement from the previous eatery that was here. I sometimes get the shrimp fried rice. The pricing is fair, and the portions are just right. Tonight, I got the Braised Beef with noodles. I enjoyed seeing the noodles being prepared and the braised beef was very tasty. The dish overall was really good and again with the pricing it was a win for me. The counter people are always friendly and helpful. This will definitely be a "go to" place for me whenever I am visiting the Farmer's Market.

This is a new amazingly good noodle spot in the market. Noodles made fresh when you order. I've tried 3 items so far and all very delicious. Serving size for the price is a deal!

Best Chinese noodles in LA. The texture, flavor, and spice level is on point and everything is so well balanced!

Absolutely delicious. We had lamb noodle soup and noodle with three toppings, also the pork hamburger. The food was authentic and the flavor was so good that we will definitely come again. I recommend one to add vinegar and chili oil for noodle soup to have extra flavor. They also have Chinese beverages. If you have a hard time finding the place, it is at the left end of the market near a pasta house.

the first location i visited was in monterey park and i loved it! shoutout ben who took me last year lichrally and i adore hole-in-the-walls! did not know there was a pop up in the farmers market side of the grove -- the cold noodles are such a refreshing meal, especially in the summer heat. i think i'm always going to be addicted to sesame oil and chili oil too... fast service despite the busy lines !

My Dad and I visited farmers market for Father's Day. I opted for Noodle Art and had the braised noodle soup with chicken instead of beef. The customer service was great! The lady at the register was very helpful and offered suggestions, as it was my first time. I didn't really enjoy the noodle soup. It was rather bland and flavorless. I tried to keep eating it, because I didn't want to completely waste my money; however, I don't see myself returning.

Quality quality quality. You can taste it in the fresh homemade noodles! We ordered the number six on the menu and I can not remember the name but it's their best seller which is why we chose it. It was amazing the sauce the noodles the MEAT! The pork was tender and there was a 3 choices in toppings. We shared the meal because we had already snacked prior but night recommend getting two different meals so you get the option on tasting different items because everything looked amazing.

Delicious! Meat was fall off the bone tender, ground beef was so well seasoned and noodles were clearly hand made. I wasn't sure what to order so luckily I was walked through the menu (thank you) and settled on the #7 when I went to the counter to order. I asked for spice level 2 (1 - 3 level), and it wasn't so much spicy as simply flavorful again. Just a wonderful burst of heat and seasoning, delicious again. I did dry noodles instead of soup but I want to try the soup next time. Everything looks fresh and tasted as much, so I'm happy to know this place is close.

headed to this place for some chinese burgers. located in some outside food court. exterior and interior looks like one of those places in a mall food cout but clean. haha. simple menu. looks to be a authentic chinese noodle house. no chowmen or pamda express here. have bunch of spicy looking tossed noodle dishes with chlli oil and veggies, noodle soups, fried rices etc. ordered what i came for. chinese burger with shredded cumin all spice braised beef between a pan grilled bun made from what you find fimd in those steamed bbq buns at dim sum. they cook to order so 10mins and got the food. total damage $9. and tbe verdict? its good. bun was crisp and hot with good soft chew. and the beef nicely flavored and juicy and tender. and plenty of beef and good sized burger. for $9 totally worth it. will definitely be back for the burger again and try the noodle dishes. looks yummy. recommended.

Delicious food and super helpful and nice staff! I forgot to take a photo before finishing my bowl of spicy noodles, but they were great. Can't wait to come back!

I'm glad that the farmers market at the grove has more asian options! This place is OK, but they dont give enough meat and they try and overcompensate by spices and oil but it feels so unhealthy when you eat it. To be honest, this place is not worth the money. it doesn't really remind me of food from where my family is from (Lanzhou and xian), which is what this type of food touts itself for being. Obviously you can't get the same quality as overseas, but it's just good enough for the price.

VERY VERY VERY authentic Chinese style noodles. Highly recommend #10 Located in Grave food court.

Really delicious noodles at the Grove Farmers Market. I have never had noodles this good! Can't wait to go back!

Noodles are definitely the main event. Hand pulled with a bit of a dumpling texture which I enjoyed very much! This place is basically giving chipotle as far as it's set up is concerned. The noodles seem to be the thing you wait for because the meats are already cooked in those warmer containers. The wait however is not long at all, it is a very fast process as far as noodles and soups are concerned. The price is pretty good, can't complain there. The service was also good, the people were nice and made sure you knew what you were ordering. My only small issue was I felt the broth wasn't as flavorful as I'd like but the meat and noodles overall were great. I got the thick noodle with brisket and some other meat (sorry I forget the name and number). They said it was spicy, I have a pretty high spice tolerance so for me it was none of the sorts but I'm used to that being the case for places that say their food is spicy but for someone who isn't used to spice, it maybe for you so make sure to check and ask the spice level of all the dishes! They tell you as well but just to be sure. They also have fried rice dishes that looked great. I would say definitely give it a try!

Very good addition to the West End of the market. Great chewy noodles, and excellent clear mutton noodle soup, fresh vegetables, delicious and fast.

On my yearly trek to the Grove I found myself craving more than just my favorite pasta spot. I didn't have to look far and immediately to my left I gazed upon what I call the 8th wonder of the Modern World, Noodle Art. The customer service was impeccable I immediately felt as though I should take my shoes off as I felt I had entered home. The variety of food options made a Call of Duty Warzone loadout drop look like a measly Swiss Army knife. I had the number 5 and when I was blessed with the meal in front of me I felt as though Jormungander the World Serpent was preparing to enter my mouth and traverse my throat. The meat was a whole different adventure. The amount of meat that I was given and entered my mouth made adult film stars jealous. It pains me that I must now have to choose between two spots when I visit the grove but my stomach will not be as heartbroken.

What I had was ok. Definitely better than most Chinese fare at Farmers Market. But you have to like spicy a lot, which I don't, or eat lamb or beef, which again, I don't. But I had noodle soup with chicken and it was good. Note: despite all the signs about ordering by phone while standing in front of their stall, know that you can also pay at the register with your card. It was very frustrating trying to get onto FM's wifi or getting cellular service in that corner, and trying to order. Next time skip the high tech and go for the register.

The service is good but we asked the lady if the food was spicy and she said no the spicy is not that spicy. So listening to the persons advise who has been working there for years, we got the spicy. As soon as we took the first bite boy was it spicy almost not enjoyable. The point is if you love spicy go for it get it if you tolerate spice DO NOT GET THE SPICE.

This place is so delicious! Freshly made noodles and the best combo and spicy and savory. #6 with soybean paste is a must! We shared and it was the perfect amount of food even though it looked small.

Very authentic xi'an style noodle. Been there twice already and tried different things, all were good. Looking forward to try more items on the menu!

Food looked gross. Taste was decent. Service was rushed. I don't recommend it unless you are really craving some Asian food.

Amazing Xi'an food. Highly recommend! I got the Liang Pi and Rou Jia Mo, they are absolutely delicious!

Delicious & Authentic Xi'an noodles. Highly recommend, some of the best Chinese food I've had in LA so far. Staff are friendly also :)

Food is amazing. The noodles are handmade which was great watching before eating. The wide noodles I had were great.

We've been here twice already and really enjoyed the braised beef noodle soup, both the brisket and the ribs versions. The staff are so nice and friendly, too. This is one of the best additions to the Farmer's Market, and also one of the best deals! Many places are so overpriced these days, but this place offers a fantastic value and is yummy to boot. Noodles are delish. Will definitely be back!

Delicious soup and super friendly staff! Got the braised beef stew, the brisket was cooked perfectly!

Awesome authentic Chinese food conveniently nestled in central LA. The pork Chinese burger (rou jia mou) is a must try, and you can't go wrong with any of their lamb dishes. I recommend the pita bread lamb soup (yang rou pa mou) if you're down to try something unique. The staff is super friendly.

Totally legit Xi'An food! The Liang Pi I got was on point, better than some spots in SGV. Definitely coming back to sample more noodle dishes.

When i am craving some real authentic Chinese noodle soup and dry noodles, this is definitely my go to! I love it that they opened a stall here in Farmers Market! Food is totally great and reminds me of Asia in every bite.
