Shanghai & Sichuan dishes, pork buns, beef noodle soup, great value
























"Yes, the food at this San Gabriel restaurant (in addition to their other locations throughout LA) is tasty, but you’d be remiss to limit yourself to just noodles. This tiny shop specializes in the flavors of Dalian, a coastal city in northeastern China, which translates into a variety of potent seafood dishes, like jellyfish in spring scallion oil and stir-fried sea snail. Just make sure you also have these three things in your cart - buttery scallion pancakes, the enormous beef noodle soup, and juicy pan-fried dumplings so good, they might even inspire you to put jeans on for the first time this week. To place an order, visit their website." - kat hong

"Chinese restaurants from L.A. are increasingly branching out to San Diego, and Tasty Noodle House is one of them. This modest restaurant specializes in Shanghainese cuisine as well as scrumptious plates from other regions. The fish fillet and beef with spicy sauce are numbingly spicy and delicious and the Shanghai pan-fried pork buns topped with black sesame seeds are a must-try." - Helen I. Hwang


"A new Asian dessert shop is expanding to the Convoy District, joining other resident restaurants like Tasty Noodle House, Tofu House, and Crab Hut." - Helen I. Hwang

"This busy Shanghainese restaurant branched out from L.A. and quickly established itself as the place to dive into Shanghai grilled pork buns, ginger scallion beef with noodles, and beef in spicy sauce. Waits can be long but it’s worth it." - Helen I. Hwang


"I mention favorites like Tasty Noodle House on West Third Street, which also offers a similar variety of pan-Chinese dishes." - Farley Elliott
