Noodles near Lake Balboa, CA

“Fantastic food, fair prices, friendly service. Thank you, Sam and the staff, we enjoyed the food and the company. The place feels warm. The food we took to our fellows in the office got many compliments. Thank you,“

“Visited Uovo in Studio City for the first time and tried their tasting menu. The truffle pasta was amazing, seriously good. The pomodoro was just okay, didn't impress much. But the Tiramisu? Wow, I'm not even a big fan of Tiramisu and it left me speechless. Worth a visit for sure.“

“Loved this place! Super fresh ingredients and very friendly staff. Ordered the Nam Tok Salad, the Chicken Pad Kee Mow (Drunken Noodles) and the Isaan Larb Kua. Everything was really tasty and the server was great about explaining the spice levels. The Nam Tok and the Isaan Larb Kua were especially delicious because of the use of lime juice -- that tangyness paired with the spiciness and the savoriness in both dishes was a winning combo. In terms of spice level, I'd say that I usually like spicy food and handle it well, and the Medium was just right. There are additional chili sauces available if you want to dial it up a little bit. Very generous portions and I was honestly quite stuffed. The price is also ridiculously low and I have to say this is one of the most amazing value Thai places I've ever been too -- the pad kee mow was $12.99 for the chicken version!! They were making pickled chilis on one of the side tables, which is one sign you know this place is legit -- when they make their sauces and condiments from scratch, by hand. Really looking forward to my next visit here.“

“This place is amazing. Top notch service and the fooooooodddd is OMG!!! I can’t believe it took us this long to try this place. We were fortunate to be served by Betsy and Tia who were so friendly and professional. We had such a nice time. Highly recommend and will return soon.“

“Best vegan Ramen I have had. Toppings are amazing. You can feel the depth of interest the creators at this restaurant have taken creating each bowl and maintaining their level of perfection with each order. Staff is very kind. All around a great place to keep coming back to over and over.“

“This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the valley! The staff is so, so friendly. The food is fresh and delicious - highly recommend the green curry! The restaurant is clean and there is plenty of free parking in the back lot and on the street. They have affordable lunch specials too.“

“We came here on a whim, after finding The Daily Outpost mysteriously closed on a Friday evening. Umigame is so good! Everything, from the poke bowl, salmon teriyaki, brussels sprouts, and edamame, were perfect! High quality food beautifully prepared. Very good service also. We will definitely be back.“

“A great addition to the valley. From a valley girl who eats everywhere OUTSIDE of the valley, I can truthfully say that I am happy about this being so close to home. :) Ambiance and atmosphere here is 10/10. Both of my experiences have been pretty great. Staff has all been nothing short of attentive and really nice. Both times I have sat at the bar, and each time was a pleasant experience. However, I will say that the restaurant gets very loud which can be a tad bit overwhelming, but I don't think they can control that. As for the Ramen, I can honestly say... it was flavorful. My first visit, I decided to try something outside of the norm, which was the Shrimp Wonton Ramen. It was delicious! Definitely not a traditional ramen but just as good. The friendly bar tender recommend I try the Spicy creamy Vegan ramen with added wontons the next visit.. which I did. 10/10 would suggest!!! The broth on the Spicy Creamy Vegan Ramen is super flavorful! Adding in the Shrimp Wontons just made it 10x better in my opinion. I have yet to try any of the small plates, because the ramen is sooo filling. But next time I definitely will. Great beers on tap, and yummy cocktails! As mentioned, I will be returning back to try other things on the menu. Overall, I do enjoy this restaurant.“

“This is my new favorite Thai spot! I always get take-out/delivery so can't attest to the service but so far my orders have always been accurate and hot! My go-to order is the chicken pad Thai and the filet mignon with garlic string beans. The pad Thai stands out to others because of their sauce (I get mine extra saucy). Will be ordering again soon!“

“Wow, this place is a hidden gem! First time trying it and i will definitely be back! Flavor is delicious and the prices were amazing. Can't wait to try other items. The service was nice, everyone was friendly. The ambiance was cozy and clean.“

“Short Ribs are delicious! Do yourself a favor and order Special B. It comes with Grilled Teriyaki Chicken with Beef Short Ribs, sides of rice and salad plus teriyaki sauce and chili sauce. The short ribs and chicken were not only delicious they were nice and hot! You can tell they came right off the grill! Portion size is big for the price. For appetizer, ordered chicken egg rolls (qty: 3) comes with sweet and sour dipping sauce. Egg rolls were hot and crispy. Owner was very friendly and accommodating. He offered to clean the table before we sat down. I liked and appreciated that. The restaurant is very clean and has a small dining area.“

“Delicious Udon and other Japanese specialties“

“Michelin rated 2021, 2022, & 2023.....this is a high end ramen shop located on La Cienega Blvd in Beverly Hills.All the noodles here are made fresh in house in the front of the shop on display.The signature #1 truffle soba reminds me of the famous truffle Michelin rated ramen in Tokyo. This is what I've had the several other times I've visited. Today I came in specifically to try their new tsukemen (dipping ramen) Ise.It's described as spicy yet sweet dipping ramen with noodles served on the side. The noodles are wide and flat....very fresh too! They also provide a side of truffle oil and green onions so you can customize your bowl. The soup was much thicker and more intense than a normal ramen broth. It coats the flat noodles very well. They also give you a pretty good portion of the pork charshu.I really like this place but it is a very expensive bowl of ramen for $38. If the price was more reasonable, I would give it a 5 star. Even with the price at $38, I still come back. Food is delicious!Parking: There is metered street parking on both sides of the street or a valet $12 right next door. They share the valet lot with another restaurant.“

“Takeout experience only since I'm a lazy lady. The vegan pho was phenomenal! Like better than any other Asian veggie soup I've had in AGES! Nice amount of veggies, flavorful broth, good portion, and it travels well. The stir-fried spicy lemongrass imitation beef is really good and has the best texture. I think it's a little too much lemongrass for me but we still get a portion every time we order. The mixed tempura is battered nicely! Always a hit. The stir-fried tofu and mushroom plate is so tasty but so small. I wish the portion size was a little bigger since neither of these ingredients is that expensive, ya know? I need to try a few other things on the menu. I've tried the vegetarian stir fried flat noodles, the vegetarian udon, the catfish stewed with green onion... these weren't bad, but they won't be my repeat order. Overall, I really enjoy their pho and this will be part of our regular rotation!“

“Absolutely wonderful time, good service by Jose, hot and tasty food, cold Dr.Pepper, and life is good. Definitely plan to come back here as it was a great experience overall! Jose was our server, and he was so kind, fast, and attentive to our table. Small area inside to eat but when it comes out, just Wow! If I come back I will try to take a photo of it before I finish it.“

“This is honestly the best Thai spot that I've ever been! The bbq chicken and drunken noodles melts in your mouth. The inside of the building looks very aesthetic and was the perfect vibe for my girlfriend and I for date night. The waitresses were super nice & very informative and helped guide us to the perfect dining experience. This place is way better than a 5/5 - broke the scale. My favorite Thai place of all time“

“We decided to give this location another try and we were blown away by all of the delicious meals they prepared. The shrimp pad see ew was flavored to perfection. The crab fried right was just right and the spicey fried rice was balanced with the right amount of heat. You can always request the kitchen to turn up or turn down the spice level according to your taste buds. Try the lychee martini, you will thank me later. The service was five-star from the moment we walked in. We were greeted with a warm welcome and our waitress made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our dining experience. The restaurant is small and intimate, perfect for a local date night. We had a great time guys, thank you and we will see you guys again soon.“

“Just passed through Vietnam, craving Asian food.Come try the Thai restaurant near your houseOh what a surprise, so deliciousAuthentic crab fried riceAuthentic sour hot potOkay papaya saladPadthai is a bit salty, please add a squeeze of lemon for ten points mmmmWill come back!!!“

“Small and cozy (and hidden above Panda Express on the corner of Reseda and Nordhoff), this Japanese eatery offers traditional dishes at reasonable prices and large portions. The service was prompt and friendly. The chicken katsu curry and seafood Ramen are the two best dishes.“

“Came here yesterday for the first time after visiting the Thai market across the street. We had a beef noodle soup and a Thai curry pizza, they were both really great! I think I'll like their marinara sauce pizza more because the onions were a looooot for me. But if you love onions, this is the place!!!The pizza dough and crust was just ? great. Soft, pillowy. Definitely recommended.The beef noodle soup was great too!!! The perfect touch of sweetness and spiciness. Super flavorful. And the folks here were super welcoming and nice! Would definitely recommend this joint!“

“Such amazing food and wonderful service. We called close to when they were closing and they still happily told us they'd deliver. We thought the food might be dry or scraps because we called 20 minutes before they closed but no, we were so wrong. The food was super fresh, and the noodles were juicy and the portions“

“I sampled their famous xiao long bao, delicious dumplings, savory fried rice and garlic string beans. Each dish was a taste experience, from the delicious dumplings in broth to the perfectly seasoned fried rice. The service is great and the atmosphere is inviting. Don't miss this place for authentic Taiwanese cuisine and unforgettable flavors. It has the taste of home.“

“We had a very nice birthday dinner for my friend.Service was excellent.Wait time for food was a little long. One suggestion is have a spicy level for those with a sensitive palette. We ordered a side of mango to cool down the heat and that hit the spot :) Overall great experience , definetly be back.“

“Amazing amazing place. The cashier and chefs are the kindest people ever. The food tastes authentic and truly amazing. It was raining and they were so kind to let us shelter and enjoy our food inside temporarily. They treated us so well and we couldn't be more grateful“

“I go here often- they are open late and it's so great to have a Thai place so local that is open late. Food is pretty good. They are also very sweet to me every time! There is no seating, it's a take out only place, so just be aware of that, but I highly recommend to anyone looking for some quick, tasty Thai food, especially late at night when most places are closed!“

“I've been dining at Chin Chin on Sunset since it opened in 1983. It's a great place to people watch and have a great meal. True to form the Chinese Chicken Salad was perfectly prepared and as delicious as ever. The steamed and salted edamame were fresh and flavorful. Service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant decor is tired and worn. The upholstery on the banquette and booths was torn and frayed. The colors and fixtures are drab and dated, giving a very sad feeling to the once iconic Chin Chon.“

“Always nice staff and food is great“

“AMAZING!!! This place is genius and delicious. I wish it were located closer to home, but well worth the drive. Prices are great, food is incredible, and to top it off...VEGETARIAN!!!! I'm far from vegan and love Chinese cuisine, so this place giving me the great taste without the negativity of eating a lot of meat...perfection!“

“Service was a little slow for having 3 tables in the whole building. The food was really good. We ordered some drunken noodles and 2 pad see ew. They were delicious. I asked for a 7 spice level. Boy, did it have me sweating. Even though it was spicy I couldn't stop eating.“

“If you can't get to SGV, where the quality and selection of Chinese food is incredible, Sam Woo is a great valley option. Standouts are their BBQ meats; roast duck, roast pork , char siu. Good selections of all noodle dishes; chow menial, Lo Meir, chow fun. Then like most Chinese restaurants hundreds of options. The key here is their consistent authentic dishes. Casual and good service.“

“10/10! I came here for a solo dinner on a weekday night. The servers were extremely attentive and friendly and made some great menu recommendations. The food came out quickly. I got the three item bento box, which was absolutely delicious and a great value, especially for the neighborhood. Definitely a hidden gem in West Hollywood - the neighborhood needs more of these types of local, friendly spots with amazing food and great prices. I can't wait to come back!“

“Cute pho spot! Delicious food w great service! Their sweatshirt are dope too!“

“Haven't been here for a big while,coming here to celebrate Mother's Day with my kids and my parents Atmosphere is great ,not crowded , got big. Table straight away . I am on wheelchair and it's easy enough to wheel in . Foodtare good ,especially noodles eg. Yentafo, boat noodle,tomyum noodle etc. it's all great than last times I was here but better taste before put anything in . Service are good and clean.,Khun ras still came to welcome everyone . Will be back again“

“It is definitely a place I will return to, I ordered the pineapple rice and it is delicious, my husband ordered the seafood soup and was satisfied, let's support him more because it made me sad to see the place empty when it has such good food.“

“The staff is so kind and the food is absolutely amazing! Super affordable and they play good music. I will definitely be frequenting this place again. It’s a really feel good environment and the energy is great. Thank you guys so much ♡“

“Check out O'Gusto Pizza and Pasta for a taste of mall food court simplicity that packs a flavorful punch! The service is quick and friendly, making it a breeze to grab your grub and get back to shopping. I went for the O'Gusto 12", and let me tell you, it hit the spot with its perfect mix of toppings. Plus, with upbeat music playing and the lively mall atmosphere, it's the ultimate spot to refuel during your shopping spree. The decor is straightforward but fits right in, adding to the no-frills charm of the place. And let's not forget about cleanliness--both the mall and O'Gusto's storefront are spotless, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Quick tip: if you're dining with a group, be sure to place your order first, so you can eat together, since the wait is 10-15 minutes. Now, onto the pizza itself. O'Gusto serves up a slice of heaven that only gets better as it cools down. With a soft yet slightly crispy crust, it's the kind of pizza that keeps you coming back for more. In short, O'Gusto Pizza and Pasta may be located in a mall food court, but don't let its simplicity fool you--it's a hidden gem serving up deliciousness with every bite. So next time you're shopping 'til you drop, make sure to swing by O'Gusto for a taste of mall magic!“

“Came in for a spontaneous solo Satur-date before my nail appointment next door at Galaxy. It was amazing! Clean and elegant with cool vibe music. I ordered the M&M roll and miso soup and it was perfect! They have quite an extensive menu so I will definitely be coming back soon! Thank you, PJ! Everything was awesome! :) * this is an edit because I decided to have dessert and tea and I'm so glad I did! It's my first time to try Crispy Roti- I love it! PJ suggested green tea ice cream a la mode and it is absolutely divine.“

“Food was great. Orange chicken and grilled bok choy was tasty. Large portions.Not sure what they are going for as fast atmosphere, kinda like a military chow hall. Metal cups? Odd.Had to ask for some items twice. Will return for those big portions, will have lunch for the next day.“

“I love Pho and am very hard to please when it comes to a good pho. I have been to many pho restaurants and have not been impressed at all. The West Hills Pho 1, however, despite being much more distance than many others close to me are my ideal pho place. It's a clean and nice place, the food is served so quickly within few minutes of ordering, the quality and amount of pho served is wonderful, I order chicken pho, there was such generous amount of chicken white meat in there, generous amount if the soup, noodles, fresh mung bean sprouts, fresh basil, fresh and juicy lemon halfs which I asked for, I love lots of lemon juice in my pho. This is by far THE MOST DELICIOUS AND BEST PHO I HAVE EVER TRIED.“

“EVERYTIME I come to eat here, the food and service is outstandingly amazing. It’s not only my go-to Thai spot because it’s close to my home, their food is high quality and fresh. Been going here for the past 5 years I’ve lived in NoHo. Best place to eat. AND GREAT PRICES TOO!! <3“

“Our 1st time going and BOY IT WAS DELICIOUS. I was sadden about them closing. Awesome Customer Svc“

“And again, best Thai food I've had since the days of Thai American Cafe - Silverlake, 1990s. As I may have made mention in a past review, it's hard to find great tasting Thai and I've been searching for years - have finally found at The Dish. What're y'all waiting for, go in and taste for yourselves. Lately I've been getting the Chik, Red Curry - but everything I've had is excellant“

“I started ordering from this place via DoorDash but since they’re close by I thought I’d just go directly for takeout. They make their food SO fast!I’m a huge noodle soup guy and they have all kinds of options. I’ve ordered the boat noodle and duck noodle soups so far and both have been so good! I would normally have to drive to Chinatown for this kind of quality!Parking in the complex is abundant. This is definitely becoming my go-to comfort food spot.“

“Ordered the lechon kawali and papaitan. It was delicious and a good portion. The owner, June, and his wife are very welcoming. They gave us a sample of their famous turon. It was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and had the crispiest outer wrap . It was really tasty. Highly recommend this place“
