Noodology - Irvine

Small noodle shop in Irvine with bold, spicy Taiwanese flavors that hit the spot. Everything we ordered had great texture and spice, and the portions were solid. Spicy Dumplings: Get Soft dumplings in chili oil that had a good kick and lots of flavor. Great way to start the meal. Dry Pork Noodles: Get Really comforting. Loved the mix of minced pork, scallions, and egg on top of springy noodles. Braised Beef Noodle Soup: Get Super flavorful and rich. Comes packed with meat, veggies, peanuts, and a broth that has heat and depth. The space inside is small but cute. Pretty casual and chill, though not ideal for big groups. Service was fast, nothing fancy. I'd definitely come back for another spicy noodle fix. Food: 8/10 Service: 6/10 Atmosphere: 7/10 Value: 6/10

We’ve visited Noodology several times. Overall, the food quality is still good and that’s the main reason we keep coming back. However, there are a few issues that make the experience less enjoyable. There is no menu anymore—everything is through a QR code. Personally, I find this inconvenient because the characters on the phone are too small, making it hard to order. I need to ask the staff to order the food for me. The restroom was not clean and had a noticeable smell. I hope the restaurant can improve by cleaning it more regularly.

Noodology in Irvine is amazing! The noodles are fresh, chewy, and full of flavor, and the broth is rich and comforting. The place is clean, the service is fast and friendly, and the food is always consistent. One of the best noodle spots in Irvine!

Tried the new Tomato Braised Beef Brisket Noodles—perfect for chilly nights! Their Beef Noodles and Dry Noodles are always a win, and the Spicy Mao Cai packs serious heat! 🔥 Don’t miss the fresh cold appetizers. Fast service, cozy vibes—definitely worth a visit!

Rule of thumb is that if a Chinese food place has four stars, it's better than a place that has five stars. I have yet to find another place that has the Guizhou Huaxi noodles, so I always come here for a nostalgic taste. The menu is navigable and the service does just enough (not too much). The noodles here are the real deal and the braised tofu is just *mwah*

Noodology specializes in.. you guessed it, noodles! This spot is particularly known for having noodles from different provinces in China. Their noodle soups are rich, flavorful, and super comforting. They also have some amazing spicy dishes like their Chengdu dumplings and their newest item, spicy beef with peanut which was super addicting! The restaurant itself is pretty spacious with inside and outside seating. You order through a QR code on the table and the friendly staff brings out the food for you.

As the sun went down, the weather turned chilly. The decor was unique and the food tasted very authentic. My mom ordered the signature beef brisket noodle soup, and the brisket was so tender and flavorful. I ordered the golden soup beef noodle soup. We also ordered a cold beef salad, which was delicious. Overall, we were very satisfied with our meal, and we'll definitely be back.

Extremely tasty noodle dishes - All noodle dishes we tried were really excellent. Also, the sticky rice dessert is super tasty! I agree with some of the other reviews that the staff could really try to be friendlier. However, who cares about that if the food and price are great?

Perfect Taiwanese comfort food! I enjoyed EVERYTHING I ordered from here! The fresh milk tea was so refreshing! I recommend getting an extra cup of ice since they make it fresh so it's warm still. The service was very efficient and I saw that you can even order ahead and have it ready for you as soon as you come in to sit and eat. The dishes were very flavorful without being over powering. The spicy beef had a light numbing effect and the cilantro and peanuts were a great addition The tomato beef noodle soup hit the spot! Nice bounce and chew to noodles which is always satisfying. The brown sugar rice cakes were perfectly lightly crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside and soaked up the syrup well. Everything cooked perfectly Like and old auntie/uncle cooked it from home.

The food is REALLY good and spicy. Been here twice and it's essentially Sichuan because my mouth is numb (not all dishes, I just choose dishes that are spicy). Service is spotty... if you are seated in the back area like I was the first time, they didn't come by at all. (You order off a QR-code and then send the order online.) The second time, we sat right by the cashier so we got water refills much more and checked in on. Otherwise, small family business restaurant. Located in a small plaza with decent parking.

It's been a minute since my last visit but Noodology's menu selections are as yummy as I remembered. The Cold Pig Ears and Zhajiang Noodle with rice noodle (egg noodle is also an option) are still my faves. Even though there are other dining options in this plaza, the restaurant is still plenty busy during the lunch hour. There were two servers on shift, but neither was particularly friendly or attentive. That seems to be status quo at Chinese restaurants...would you agree?

Food is good and the service is fast. Especially like the pig ears in chili oil. Would recommend

Have been going here for years. Authentic taste, great portions, reasonable price. The spicy sour soup is mouthwatering and the dumplings have a very savoury filling.

I've had Noodology for takeout a few times during covid and came back after a long hiatus. It was one of my first times dining in and there were a few people inside so we were seated right away. The noodle dishes were just as good as I remember - spicy, flavorful, and filling! I love that some of the noodle dishes have roasted peanuts as a topping because it just elevates your meal, but the one I ordered had some sort of lentils instead which look almost identical to the peanuts but don't really taste like anything. I got the #13 Chengdu Hot Pot Beef Rice Noodle which was delicious but also very spicy and numbing. I had to take a few breaks eating it because of the spice but I still enjoyed it! I love rice noodle dishes and this place does not disappoint. We also ordered their spicy dumplings which could've had more chili oil, and we had to ask the server to bring us vinegar. Overall this is a solid noodle spot in Irvine!

Food was very good! All the dishes we tried were delicious. Service was amazing as well!

When you see chicken feet on the steam table, you know the restaurant's going to be legit! I called in my takeout order and it was sitting ready on the rack at the given time. I had ordered the Mixed with the Minced Pork Noodles and the Chengdu Zajiang Noodles (each $12.99). You have a choice of either egg or rice noodles. Portions were pretty generous for the price. Both said they were little spicy. The Zajiang noodles were just the tiniest bit spicy with a slight numbing from the peppercorns. The minced pork noodles were more spicy. They were delicious. Food is probably more like a 4 but giving it a 4 because it was a good value. Parking in the lot.

I really enjoyed this. The soups were good, the popcorn chicken, and the scallion pancakes were good. Everything was good, and prices were good too.

It is a restaurant that doesn't need too much introduction. Everyone will come to it if living in Irvine. It's what you can expect from a noodle place. Limited options for food and normal flavor -- I would recommend the Huaxi beef rice noodles, which is the one I usually ordered. Cautious about the sanitary conditions that someone witnessed a **cockroach** passing by in the restaurant.

What a great find in OC! This is probably one of my favorite noodle places in the area. This small little restaurant in a plaza a lot of other restaurants/offices. There are around 10-15 tables inside and most of them are for 2-4 people, not sure if I would recommend this place first large groups. Their menu has a variety of soups, dumplings, and other dishes! Their menu is online and you actually order on your phone which is pretty convenient. The service was okay since you just order on your phone and they bring you the food, they don't really check on you if you need anything after. We ordered the Taiwanese noodle soup, hot and sour noodles, and popcorn chicken! Everything was really good. The chicken was really crispy and had a little spice to it. For the noodles we got the rice noodles and they were really soft and not dough-y/chewy. The hot and sour soup had the perfect amount of spice/sour ratio. The Taiwanese beef noodle was really flavorful and the meat was super tender! The portions are also really big for the noodles which is a big plus for me.

On a Saturday night, there was only a small wait (5-10 min) I ordered the Guiling Hot & Sour Beef Noodle soup! They give huge portions. You can definitely share this between 2 or maybe even 3 people! The soup had a nice vinegar flavor, and was only mildly spicy. It definitely looks more spicy than it tastes! You scan a QR code to order, and everyone's order goes into the same cart. Highly recommend!

Service is good the cafe is super clean and it's not usually too busy. The food is absolutely fantastic. It's always a treat to eat here. My friends from China agree the giu ling noodle is sooooo so so good. Love the pickled beans too and the pig ears are fire!

I ordered a whole meal with them and some side dishes. Everything is very good. But one of the side dish call something spicy beef slices is rotten. And it happens to us another time before too. I hope they could look into that because I really like that beef.

I particularly enjoyed their noodles and side dishes! There's a great variety to choose from, and everything is packed with flavor. I highly recommend their Golden Soup Beef and Pork Ears! I always finish their soup to the last drop every time I visit.

Have always seen this place around but finally decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did. You sit down and order online and they bring your food to you. The staff was efficient and pleasant. The Chengdu Style Zhajiang Noodle with egg noodle was flavorful and delicious. The egg was perfectly cooked and the cilantro and meat portion was perfect. The noodle was too soft for my taste but overall I left very full and happy.

Flavors are incredible. Ask for extra pickles (Suan Cai) on the side--that bit of extra acid makes everything that much more Egg noodle is springy, perfectly cooked. Rice noodle impossibly soft, easy to digest, yet... fluffy? Love this place. 10/10 would recommend.

The water service was punctual and exquisite. The cups were small, however, so there was a need to refill very quickly.

Loved the food here! We got the pig ear, popcorn chicken, intestine egg noodle, and beef rice noodle with green peppers. The pig ear had a thicker oil coating than we're used to, so we probably wouldn't get it again but it was still good. The popcorn chicken came in large chunks and had fried basil. It reminded me of a better version of popcorn chicken from a boba shop since it tasted more seasoned. Could be juicer though. The intestine egg noodle surprised us in how soft the intestine was. It melted in your mouth and had a clean flavor. The soup for that bowl felt richer than the beef one we got because of the intestine. The beef rice noodle came out so quick, but that didn't compromise the quality! It came out piping hot and the rice noodles were cooked perfectly. It came with thin beef slices that were soft and mild in flavor. Overall, the food felt very comforting and had just what I look for when I'm craving a bowl of noodle soup. We came on Friday night at around 7:30 and there was no wait. Parking was easy.

Came for lunch and sat out in their outdoor patio. Was told it was best to order our food online and they would bring it out to us. They brought out waters for us which was nice. Somehow when ordering online, it defaulted to "take-out" so they had my order packed up and waiting when I finally went in to check on it. The gal I spoke with was nice enough to put it into a bowl and bring it out to me. For $17 all in, I thought the dish was overpriced and just ok. The several chunks of beef were tender and the soup was spicy, but nothing extraordinary. I probably won't come back for this as there are other tastier options at or below this price point I'd rather spend my money on. One thing I was really taken aback with was when we first arrived at noon, they had their delivery truck unloading supplies right in front of their door... like to the point where I at first thought that was a side door since it was mostly being blocked off with crates. Not only that... the two guys ended up smoking right there!! They were literally smoking cigarettes right in front of the restaurant's main door so the smoke was wafting into the restaurant. I probably should have suggested to my friend that we pick another restaurant but we had both already parked our cars and we wanted to sit outside to enjoy the gorgeous weather.

1. The noodle dishes were comforting and delicious! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes with seatings inside and outside! 3. The staff were friendly and quick with the orders! Note: In order to make a order at your table, you scanned the QR code on your specific table, and then you place the order on the linked webpage! You can still select to pay in-person! Photo: 5. Beef with Tomato Soup Noodle and 24. Tawainese Braised Beef Noodle

I finally had the chance to try this place. Had been craving clear broth soup. My husband ordered the Taiwanese Braised Beef Noodle Soup. He liked it a lot. Paid $2 to add a hard boiled egg. The portion was a good size and ingredients were fresh. I ordered the wonton in chicken soup. My portion was less than half of my husband's and soup was not piping hot. The soup was good, clear and refreshing. The wontons were underwhelming but not bad. We also ordered the popcorn chicken. I liked the added basil. Overall, if I do come back, I would like to try the Taiwanese Braised Beef Noodle Soup. There is minimal contact with staff. Ordering is through QR code and food and check are brought out to you. The place is pretty clean. Tables of 4. Located next to the beauty shop closer to Jeffrey. Parking is not an issue. Some spots directly out front have timed parking.

Good noodle soup! There's a ton of choices in Irvine for noodle soup and I would consider it a good option for lunch. Parking: private lot with good amount of parking. Just watch out for crazy drivers who like to speed through parking lots (happened to me). Menu: QR code menu - but paying is a bit confusing. I wasn't sure if we were supposed to ask for the check or just go up to the register and pay. We ended up just walking up to the register and paying there since a mini-line formed. Food: we ordered a spicy braised beef noodle soup and a chicken, mushroom, and corn noodle soup. The beef noodle soup had very good flavor and noodles. The chicken noodle soup had a very clean broth and was a nice alternative to all the beef items on the menu.

This place is a cute little shop in a plaza! We went for lunch and there was no wait, the menu was easy to understand, and the staff was nice and efficient. I got the beef noodle soup in the tomato soup and it was delicious! The noodles were tender and the portion size was great. I would come back again to try the other dishes they have. You can also get a free fried egg with check in on Yelp which was nice!

had the beef noodle soup, it was alright but nothing too special noodle texture was interesting just not my preference. soup was a bit bland wish it had more flavor and spice. service and atmosphere was alright pretty normal

We called in some take out and they really pack everything well in an insulated bag with the soup and noodles separated that it was still super hot and didn't need to be warmed up after an hour. I really loved the non spicy option I got!

Service is friendly and the wooden walls adds a comfy ambiance. We were promptly seated, and ordering is done through the phone. There is a QR code on the table that will lead you to a website with all their menu options. Do note, that the ordering through the QR code is for the whole table. So don't try to have multiple people ordering through the website at the same time. The food came out quickly. The pig ears were crunchy, slightly spicy, and quite delicious! The wontons were too salty. I tried to wash off the Szechuan sauce on the wontons in my noodle soup but the wonton filling was salty too. The "popcorn chicken" was tasty but I wouldn't call it popcorn chicken. The seasoning and the fry wasn't right. In the sense of normal fried chicken, it was tasty. Also very salty... The beef with green and red chili pepper noodle soup didn't come out right. There were no green or red chili peppers to be seen anywhere on the bowl. They replaced them with jalapeños instead. The end result, not very spicy. However if we disregard that, the dish is still tasty. The braised beef noodle soup on the other hand did come as advertised. No complaints here. The beef came in thick, tender chunks. Very good. Overall, I would say this place has decent eats that will fill you up, but some of the food items don't come as advertised. Plus too much salt chef.

Been on my list for a while and I was so excited to try this place! My placemat had a map of China and all their noodle dishes were placed on the mat to show you where all the regional noodle dishes came from! Very fun visual to look at. I got the Cantonese Braised Beef noodles with rice noodles - very familiar to me since I grew up eating it and it tasted so good! The portions were HUGE and tasted just as I remember when my mom used to make it. Very traditional! Love how you get to choose your noodles and it states it on the menu because a lot of people forget you can choose between rice or egg noodles or even thick or thin noodles! We love options! I also go to try some of all my friend's dishes as well and they were all so tasty as well. The ZhaJang noodles that my friend had are not your typical black bean/saucy noodle dish, but rather more dry and slightly salty. Make sure to mix all the dry dishes really well because the sauce and flavor get sent to the bottom. I will be coming back to try other noodles from regions I haven't had before!

Food: large bowl of hot, delicious noodles. The menu has a good selection. I ordered the one with pickled veggies and it was very good. I was only able to eat half of it and save the other half for dinner. For the taste and value, I would definitely return to try other dishes. Service: It was okay. I came here during a weekday lunch and the place was quite full. There was no wait time for us but as we were done, there were others waiting outside for open tables. I think it's worth the wait if you're not in a rush to eat and run. Ambiance: It's a mom & pop establishment. The place was a bit tight and the tables were situated quite close to one another. The decor looks a bit old but we didn't mind. We're just there for the food and good company. Overall: we will return to this restaurant and try different dishes. Next time, we'll also try the cold appetizers that are displayed (and served) in front section of the restaurant.

Food was misleading, we ordered the number 2 minced pork noodles because we expected there to be soup as shown on the online menu. When we got the food, it ended up being a dry noodle soup and instead of the boiled egg we got fried eggs. No condiments are given as well, I'm guessing they charge extra for those. Nobody came around our table to check on us either. They also pressured us to tip them and pushed the receipt towards us. Not the best experience.

Noodology is a solid place for some good soup that comes in ginormous portions. Parking lot is huge and the restaurant itself is a decent size with about 10 booths in it. You'll see a barcode once you sit at a table, and from there it will take you to the website where you can view the menu and order and pay from there. Because of this, we didn't really have to interact with any of the workers. I got the braised beef noodle soup, and it was HUGE. I definitely could've shared this with one or two more people. It comes in a bowl of about 8" inches in diameter. It had the tiniest kick to it and really hit the spot since it was cold that day. There were a lot of beef pieces in it and the pieces were really large and thick, but were cooked just right and weren't chewy. I got the rice noodles and they were okay, I'm just not a huge fan of thick noodles. Price is reasonable for how much food you are getting. This is a great place to come to if you want a huge bowl of soup!

Noodles itself were good but the beef tasted like goat/sheep. I could not finish it because I absolutely don't like that taste. The broth itself was okay but could not finish it either. Online ordering and delivery was very quick. I enjoyed the herbal tea and would get that again. Overall I would rather try something different than get the hot and sour beef soup again.

Been coming here for the past five years, and it's become my favorite Chinese noodle restaurant in the Irvine area. 5 stars for food alone. 1 star docked for service. My go-to is the Chengdu Braised Beef Rice Noodle soup.... beef is always tender, soup has a rich beef flavor, and noodles have that perfect QQ texture (contains peanuts, so careful if you have an allergy). Generous portions. I also like adding Pickled Beans as a side dish. Don't expect amazing service in terms of manners or conversation, but food always comes out fast. Restaurant is never overly packed, so a great pick if you want a fast bite.

Good satisfaction spot for Chinese noodles. Flavor is not bad, but many of the choices all have the same base broth with a few toppings changed. Overall not a bad spot for some good noodles and pricing is fair. Be sure to double check your orders though as they tend to always give you the wrong soup that you ordered. Food: 4/5 Quality: 4/5

My friend recommended me to try Noodology for the pig's ear, so I had the opportunity to check out the restaurant during the long weekend. Ordered the pig's ear and Chengdu dumplings to share, along with Chinese beef noodle soup. Pig's ear were nice and crispy, although I wished the chili oil would've been a bit more pronounced-- all the same, the pig's ear tasted more delicate and nuanced than the ones I've had elsewhere. Chengdu dumplings were almost like soup dumplings: the meat was juicy and tender inside, although it did lack a bit of flavor...the chili oil coating paired nicely, though. The Chinese beef noodle soup was medium-spicy and rich in beef broth flavor. The beef was tender and had the perfect fat-meat ratio. Unfortunately, the noodles were a disappointment, was they were overcooked and lacked the chewiness that I had been expecting. Portions are huge, and you're sure to feel full afterwards. There are plenty of options to choose from, and I'd definitely try out more menu items next time!

Always my go-to if you want a rice noodle soup. Attentive service and reliable food. Very fast turnaround if you want something quick.

I had to rely on yelp reviews and pictures to figure out what to order. The menu doesn't have descriptions and the workers don't interact with you. I waved a waitress over that I was ready to order and she pointed at the barcode on the table. Oh, I'm suppose to order on my phone, Didn't know. Good thing the soup is amazing or I wouldn't come back!

The service here is very fast and efficient! It's a self-order system with a QR code placed on the table that leads you to a website where you can order online, and you can also pay by yourself online (or go up to the front to pay as well). Our dishes came out within 5 minutes of being ordered, which was very nice! The Chengdu hot pot was deliciously spicy! It comes with an option of rice noodles or egg noodles. The broth was mouth-numbing but still enjoyable regardless, and the cilantro in the broth added a fresh taste to the entire dish. The peach tea was refreshing and was a nice break to drink after having so much of the spicy soup broth. The marinated peanuts were also a nice snack and appetizer to eat! I'm not entirely sure what the peanuts were marinated in, but it tasted like a subtle hint of oil. It was still good nonetheless, although I most likely would not order them again as the price was a bit expensive simply for some peanuts. There is dining inside and patio dining as well. A waitlist does form around 12PM, but that is usual and typically expected of any place. Also, the front door of the restaurant needs to be tugged a bit harder than normal in order to open, so just beware and know that it's not broken or locked! I recommend coming here if you are craving spicy soup or noodles, as these will completely satisfy your cravings!

My friends and I were hungry after getting tea drinks from Sunright. We walked around the plaza and spotted this place after checking a few other places. It's in the same plaza as Sunright and Miibox. You might need to look for a parking spot, as it can be tricky to find one depending on when you go. (Some of the spots are marked 30 minutes only.) The restaurant is more on the casual side. You are seated, but you place your order via the website, which is accessed via a QR code on the menu. Sometimes you could flag someone down for more water or napkins, but there were times when it was faster to go up yourself to ask someone at the register. They specialize in noodle dishes from various regions of China. I bought one of the spicy beef noodle dishes. Pricing was comparable to other places I've gone. I would say our order took maybe 7-10 minutes. The portions are large and I took home leftovers. They are generous with the beef pieces - I had 4 good sized beef medallions in my bowl. Broth was well seasoned and not overly salty or too spicy to handle. Noodles were delicious and the bee was good. The food is good if you want a good bowl of Chinese noodles at a fair price. I will say that partly due to the pandemic, their system of ordering at the table and a partial interaction with the wait staff was a little off. As I said, you were better off going to the front to ask for more napkins, the check, etc. versus waiting for someone to walk by. I sense that things were different prior to the pandemic - hopefully they can figure out how to smooth things out.

Quick service, decent food, and good portion. I added an egg for extra protein, but turned out there were a lot of intestines already. The noodles were too soft for my liking, but overall a good bowl of noodles.

Firstly, we had a to-go order and ended up with something completely different from what we ordered when we got home. Second thing, This place needs to improve its customer service. We've visited twice, and while the food is good, getting assistance from servers is consistently challenging. There's a male server who comes across as unprofessional and rude. It's disappointing that the staff doesn't seem to know how to greet customers properly. Good food loses its appeal without great service!

Not my favorite Chinese noodle place in Irvine but still really tasty! Portions are large and service was prompt. Can be hard to pick which item to get if you're not familiar with the different noodle soups but most of them seem like a solid choice. #9. Cantonese Style Braised Beef Briskets Noodle (4/5): broth was flavorful, but I felt like the meat could be more tender. I also liked the bok choy! popcorn chicken (4/5): not exceptional but satisfied the craving dumplings (3/5): the dumpling skin was a little too thick for me, but the sauce was good

I ordered takeout from here and needed something soft to eat due to having recent surgery. The noodles had a nice texture and the broth was good. I don't think I could give it a totally fair assessment because of my physical health status. I'll try some other dishes in the future when I'm able to fully chew and enjoy what I'm eating. I didn't take a picture as I forgot. I also had to cut everything up with a pair of scissors before eating it.

Portions are generous, service is efficient and the food comes out quickly. This eatery is in the same parking lot of several other Asian must haves but this place was the only one open for dine in (at the moment re: Omnicron). There is plenty of seating inside with outside option. What's also cool is they use several food delivery services including services for Asian cuisine specific foods. I ordered #24 and the beef was tender but still had chew to it. The broth was delicious!!!!!!! I rolled out happy. Will definitely be coming back and bringing hubby next time because I know he would love it. He's a noodle snob so I think this will meet his expectations.

Really enjoyed this place when it first opened, but today I ate here for the first time in a year and it's safe to say it will be my last time. Upon walking in during lunch hours, all of the employees were visibly lounging around in the dining area, and nobody greeted me at all. I just *assumed* I should sit at a table, and when I saw the QR code I *assumed* I should scan it to order -- no service from anyone whatsoever. When my food was ready the server kind of just tossed it onto the table. And everything looked incredibly low effort. I ordered the tomato beef rice noodle soup, and the soup was lukewarm at best, the pre-sliced beef and vegetable stalks cold and tossed in a pile atop the noodles. The only good part of this dish was the noodles themselves. I also had the pig ear appetizer, which was overall good but had unevenly distributed seasoning, making some slices inedibly salty while others were fine. You have to get up from your table and serve yourself to napkins, extra utensils, condiments, etc. The whole experience resembles that of a cafeteria, except when you walk up to pay your bill there's the tip section of the receipt and the cashier standing in front of you is staring at what you'll put down. Overall abysmal, wish I'd kept my impression of this place as what it was before.

My favorite dish here is the beef tomato noodle soup ($13.99). You can have regular flour noodles or rice noodles. The flour noodles are thin and tasty and the rice noodles are bigger and thicker. I love this slightly zesty and savory broth. I wish they gave you more beef and vegetables in this dish because it's literally mostly a bowl of noodles. Tasty noodles none the less! We've tried other noodle soups like the Taiwanese beef noodle soup but nothing to rave about. With take out - they did mess up my order and give the second dish rice noodle instead of flour noodle, but they fixed it quickly. They're supposed to have online ordering but it wasn't working. Alternatively available for order through fantuan! Parking can be hit or miss since there are numerous other businesses that share the plaza.

This place hit the spot! What do you do when you don't want pho, ramen or udon? Yet you are craving some type of Asian noodle. With a quick yelp search, I discovered this place was close by with good reviews. You order on your phone and you pay at the end by handling it with your server. Chengdu Braised Beef Noodle was my favorite. It was mild in flavor and not too spicy but just enough! My husband got the No 26 Beef Noodles (both with egg noodle) but his was a bit too spicy for our taste but doable. The portions were huge! Very generous helping of beef as well they did not skimp out. Would definitely return here again. This place is not suitable for large groups.
