Noodles near Manhattan Beach, CA

“The service was fast and good. The waiter gave us some additional time to go over the menu and returned promptly when we were ready to order. The food came out fast and was hot. Fried rice was not greasy. Restaurant was clean and no wait time. Definitely will come back and try the noodles.“

“I come to LA from the east coast once or twice per year and I make my travel schedule around eating at Moto once per visit. The tan tan men ramen is absolutely the best ramen I have ever had. The broth is pure perfection... The side dishes are solid as well and the sushi is simple, but out of this world fresh and tasty. Sam is a great host. See you on my next trip Moto!!!“

“Feels like a modern trendy hip pho spot that totally passes the vibe check.We were greeted as we came in even during the busy dinner time.Sat at one of the booths with space to have a stroller next to us without being in the way for others.The staff are super friendly with awesome ink tats and just super chill.I ordered the #4 pho with streak and brisket which was yummy, next time I will for sure get a large.We got 2 orders of the #30 the minced pork and veggies egg rolls which were delicious and gone as quickly as they came.Huge dinning area with a modern rustic open kitchen décor.Needed to stay up so I got me a Vietnamese coffee which was on point.Can’t wait to come back to try other things off the menu.Parking: Big parking lotKid-friendliness: Able to fit a stroller next to our table“

“This was the last place my husband and I visited while in LA. Because of the location I was scared the food was going to be trash or that the restaurant would be so nasty that I wouldn’t want to eat there. However, this place was a pleasant surprise! Yes, it was a little rundown and outside there was a lot of garbage and old furniture but inside was clean although it was older, it was still very clean. The food was absolutely delicious! This is one of those those places that I wish that we had in my hotel. It’s a little mom and pop hole in the wall spot but their food packs of mighty punch and the service does too! The staff was very sweet and accommodating. If you’re in LA or nearby, I would definitely recommend for a good pho“

“Our dinner at Uovo set a new standard for authentic Italian pasta for us. We recently visited Italy and have had pasta on our brains (and in our hearts, and in our stomachs) for months now. Visiting Uovo, despite the fact that we were in Southern California, brought all of our sensibilities back to Italy. Every dish we got was delicious. It's their main thing, but in case you're not aware, the pasta is made in Bologna, Italy and shipped to them every day...so it just doesn't get much more authentic than that.My wife and I shared the tasting menu so we could try all of the vegetarian options, including Caco e Pepe, Pomodoro, and Tagliatelle in truffle sauce. All three were perfect and were my budget and waistline to allow, I would eat any of these every day.The tasting menu came with a small arugula salad, and Tiramisu which we also shared and which were great.The place is intimate...we ended up being seated at the bar. They don't take reservations, which is, on one hand refreshing as you know you're always going to have a fair shot of getting a table as anyone else...but, of course, that means wait times could be long. (But put your name in and they'll text you so you can wander around Santa Monica while waiting.) They do have tables but it's really the luck of the draw based on when you put your name in and what comes up first.Anyone who loves authentic Italian pasta dishes (or who yes yet to realize you love them) will find the very best of those here.“

“This is probably the most popular place to get your lunch at from students and faculty at El Camino College. Every meeting I'm at around lunch time I see someone eating from Mr. H. I really love their spamasubi and their miso soup. It reminds me of my high school days when people would sell spamasubi from their backpacks. The place has a few tables and chairs to sit on if you are looking to dine in or wait for your food. Cool thing about their service too is they have a buzzer for when your food is ready. Sometimes it takes a little long to get the food to come out but it's always hot and ready to eat when they do.“

“We sat at the communal table and enjoyed looking at the aesthetically pleasing feasts our neighbors ordered! We shared a bento box with fresh sashimi, crispy tempura, and warm side meats served with colorful condiments. Once we placed our name on the waitlist, we enjoyed a stroll until our number was called. The portions are generous, and the atmosphere is friendly, both from guests and servers. Next time, we will order the soups and noodle combinations.“

“I walked by this place a million times and it's always busy but for some reason I never expected much. Boy, was I wrong! The pasta here was perfectly made. The staff were friendly and efficient. The timing of the courses was spot on. I didn't even mind the wait when we arrived, we went for a walk around the marina and enjoyed the view and they texted when the table was ready. Best of all: did I mention the pasta? It was absolutely delicious!“

“Amazing delicious food and the best customer service!! The food has so much flavor and you can tell it's made fresh when you order it. I've gotten noodles and sandwiches here and everything is always so good. The drinks are delicious as well. The owner is hands down the best owner ever, such a genuine and kind soul. We will absolutely be back again and again!“

“The woman who attended me was amazing!! I really loved the strawberry milk and the pork belly was very delicious. I was just a little disappointed in the egg since it was warm on the outside but really cold in the inside which made me lose my appetite. The noodles also tasted too much like eggs in which I don’t really enjoy. The soup was really good though and again the pork belly tastes amazing!!“

“Parking is really easy even on weekends. The restaurant is spacious and the staff is friendly. The menu has lots of different food options. This place is great to hang out with friends and family to catch up or meet up. Our party had a baby, they have high chairs and staff were very accommodating, we did not feel like a nuisance while dining here. When the baby was rowdy and there was a lobby area just a short walk away to calm the baby down with various Japanese decor.“

“Got lucky today after arriving at LAX. On our way home we found this spot! Yelp gave 4.5 stars. Absolutely delighted with my experience at this pho restaurant! The food was incredibly delicious, showcasing authentic flavors that left my taste buds in awe. The ambiance was enhanced by the charming touch of traditional music, creating a delightful atmosphere. What truly stood out was the exceptional service - always delivered with a genuine smile. A 5-star gem that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking an outstanding dining experience!“

“I love the ramen at Jidaya, especially their tonkotsu - it’s thick, rich and tasty. They’re very consistent, too. But to be honest, I thought about giving it 2 star so it doesn’t get too busy but post pandemic, everyone restaurant could use the business.“

“Stumbled upon this hidden gem and couldn’t have been happier! Fabio immediately greeted us with warmth and friendliness while he was making the food and taking orders. We loved our pasta dishes and he made sure to check in on us and the other diners. Definitely will be back!“

“Never had ramen broth that wasn't made from pork. The taste was amazing, light, refreshing and less oilier than tonkotsu. The noodles were boiled to perfection, chewy and delicious. The TanTan Men were tasty as well, the peanut broth wasn't too overpowering. I will definitely go back again in the near future.“

“Cash only. Busy lunch location for the area. Standard menu items that cover rice to noodles, a big menu for a small mom and pop shop. Small parking lot can get hard to get out of during rush hour. Maybe easier to park on the street instead.“

“This is an old Japanese soba restaurant. I had a good time visiting. Both for entertaining and personally. The staff at the store are Japanese, but of course their English is no problem. I used it yesterday for the first time in a while, and 80% of the customers were non-Japanese. Soba is becoming more and more recognized. I love the soba noodles, but I also love the ginger-yaki set meal. I love the spaghetti salad that comes with it. It's not on the menu, but it comes out when you order.“

“For the ultimate Korean-Chinese dining experience in South Bay, look no further. Dive into authentic Jja Jang Myeon and Jjam Ppong at this must-visit establishment. Whether you're new to Korean cuisine or a seasoned foodie, it's the perfect starting point. Don't miss out on trying the Gan Jja Jang--it's a rare find with its smoky wok flavor, generous portions of diced onions and squash, and a less oily consistency compared to traditional Jja Jang Myeon. Highly recommended!“

“This is a great place to get soup dumplings. I would highly recommend making reservations well in advance if you want to eat here for a special occasion. I had to reserve my table a month in advance.If you are going to get an appetizer I would recommend the cucumber salad and the string beans with garlic.I would also recommend sticking to the soup dumplings; although their other items are also delicious. The noodles in spicy sauce are great. The pot stickers are also a great choice if you like a crunch with your savory dish.The fried rice was the only thing I thought was just ok. If you are not a big fan of fried rice I would recommend skipping this and getting more soup dumplings. Remember to make room for dessert. The black sesame seed dessert is delicious.“

“Pork xiao long bao: 4/5 Beef noodle soup: 4/5 Three cup chicken: 5/5 I was pleasantly surprised by dan modern chinese. We tried the classic pork xiao long bao, which were absolutely delicious - thin dumpling skin and loads of soup inside. The beef noodle soup was great as well. It's not the rich beef broth that I was expecting - it's more of a light, refreshing broth, but still very good! And finally the three cup chicken was super flavorful and delicious. Great service and a very nice ambiance.“

“I had lunch at this restaurant with my friend when we were visiting LA, and I'm so glad we stumbled across it! The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was so friendly. One of the best Thai restaurants I've been to, and definitely somewhere I'll be visiting again the next time I'm in town!“

“New Thai food in town. Everything so yummy. I really like my crab rolls and noodle soups. Just recommended if you not like spicy that much get mild is better cause of medium here is pretty spicy. Nice ambience, simple and clean. Good and fast service my food came out fast. I'll be back here again when I'm in town. :)“

“Got take out from Palmsugar, just two dishes since it was the first time trying it - got chicken pad thai and vegan spicy basil fried rice. Both dishes were amazing, the basil fried rice was honestly 10/10 - had spice, excellent flavor, well cooked. The Pad Thai was also very good.Definitely would recommend and will likely try more of their food.Vegetarian options: They seem to be able to make most options vegetarian/vegan - the basil fried rice has the option for tofu, no fish sauce, no egg and at the bottom, an additional option to make it vegan - perhaps to ensure it would be. Flavor was still phenomenal, thoroughly enjoyed it.“

“My recent visit to Ko Ryu Ramen was made exceptional by the outstanding service provided by Valerie. Her warm demeanor and attentive care elevated our dining experience to new heights. With her expert recommendations and genuine enthusiasm, Valerie ensured that every aspect of our meal was perfect. If you're looking for delicious ramen served with a smile, be sure to ask for Valerie at Ko Ryu Ramen. She truly made our visit memorable.“

“The duck is incredible!!! Period! My food was so good that I totally forgot to take a picture of my plate before I started eating ? I loved it and will go back! Wrist check, I am wearing the Seiko Presage Prestige SARX045 JDM release on the Hirsch Liberty leather strap.“

“I've been coming here for the last 5 years. The portions are great and the soups are to die for. My go-to soup is the Liuzhou soup. Just a heads up, the establishment definitely caters to a majority Chinese crowd, so you know the food is legit. Be respectful and keep an eye out for your order number as they will probably announce it in Mandarin first lol“

“The restaurant is in a nondescript strip mall, and the interior is jam-packed with tables. More tables are located in the back. Not any atmosphere to speak of. Super busy on a Sunday evening when we visited, and the service was slow as a result. Sampled noodles, sashimi, and ton-Katsu, and all the food was good. Moderately priced.“

“I'm not sure what the low ratings are about. It may not be the trendiest place, but it sure is a solid go-to for no frills, yummy ramen. The space is small and connected to a karaoke bar; some of the sound gets through. Value is their selling point. $9 gets you a satiating bowl of ramen while paying $3 more still gets you a heftyyyy size. The Kotteri Shoyu ramen was flavorful and the noodles were well-cooked. The only thing I would dock a star for is the chashu seeming a little dry or overdone for my liking, but that wouldn't be enough to stop me from coming back though. Service was quick. We were in and out in 20 min!“

“Sushi Boy has always been our go to place for sushi and party platters. For Christmas, we ordered a California platter at their location in Torrance on 190th St. Glad they're ipen on Christmas day 2022. The place looks rundown and dark and not appealing but the service was good and everyone was friendly. Placing an order was easy and our order was ready for pick up upon our arrival. They are in the same plaza as Walmart close to Starbucks. Lots of parking available. The California platter comes with California rolls, spicy tuna rolls, and salmon rolls. Everyone loved it and everything was fresh. They also give you the wasabi, ginger, soy sauce, little bowls for your sushi dipping. All was great and it was the hit at our party. Thank you Sushi Boy for providing fresh and delicious sushi and thank you for being open on holidays. We appreciate you!!!“

“I think the only thing Asian about my girlfriend is the Cauc-Asian, If you are okay embarrassing yourself fumbling over angel hair soba noodles, this is the place for you. If you actually know how to use chopsticks you'll feel right at home. The sauces are decadent, and oddly the music makes me want to dance. Unlike ramen that makes you want to shit bricks, the soba noodles are light and refreshing. The spicy sauce oddly resembles Mexican hot chocolate but with soy milk. Delicious in all the right ways. Would get a perfect 5/5 if I had another beer option. Certainly will be coming back. 100% buckwheat, no bullshit.“

“My husband and I live eating here or getting delivery. We've gone to 2 different locations, with friends, or just us two over several years and the food is consistent and delicious. The portions are also a good size. My only wish is that the inside atmosphere was more inviting, and occasionally the food can take a little long to come out. The staff have always been helpful and polite.“

“Love this restaurant. The wait time was supposed to be 20+ minutes but I feel like I got it in less time. It's nice to see everyone working at a tolerable speed where I don't think they're stressed out and orders aren't taking more than 20 mins. My experience with Kimbap at other restaurants is they take more than 30 mins because they're also dealing with online orders, phone orders and in house orders. But I believe everyone at this restaurant was doing that but still making good time management without sacrificing the quality and presentation of the food. I had an order of beef kimbap and an order of spam Kimbap. I'm looking forward to trying out more of the menu here when I'm in the area.“

“Hakata Ikkousha is one of the staple ramen places in Torrance and one that I love a lot. I really love the ramen and the broth as well. However, this ramen is super heavy, though. The broth is really strong and not super clean like other ramen, so if you like stronger more oily broths, this would be the place to go. Really good karrage as well.“

“I absolutely love this place! I came in for the Pad Tai and it was very delicious. But their Tom Kha is freaking fire! The Chicken Mushroom Curry Soup is to freaking die for, I got the large with extra chicken and I've died and gone to heaven! Definitely making this my local Thai spot moving forward. Excellent customer service and easy ordering online for pick up.!“

“My partner and I have been coming here nearly every 2 weeks for a long time and they have never let us down!! The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is always delicious. Lots of great vegetarian and vegan options as well! We recommend this place to everyone we know, 10/10!“

“First time found it through yelp I'm trying to go to more small businesses and find places that can accommodate me. I got the orange chicken because it didn't have soy and the person I was with got the Mongolian beef with noodles. I ordered on the phone the person was very sweet and knowledgeable and very considerate about my allergies. Everything arrived very sealed tight in plastic accept for my orange chicken and it had a cool opener the radish it looked like it was seasoned with ginger. It came with a side of rice. I felt I didn't really need the rice because the orange chicken was so flavorful. I like the idea of Korean Chinese fusion! Definitely will be coming back here.“

“Tiny restaurant bustling on a weekday for lunch, a good sign. Delicious carry out baps and Korean tofu stews to go. Recommend the spicy pork bap. Nice little booths to stay and eat, but you will have to listen to the kpop videos lol. Small parking lot out front.“

“First time here. Got their Fried Chicken Curry and the Shischo Ramen to go. Both were outstanding! Perfectly done noodles backed up by broths that bring the flavor for days! For the first visit we went with the lowest heat levels. For my wife, the level one Curry was hot enough. For me, I'm looking forward to ramping up the heat next time! Not a large establishment but worth the wait...Parking: Have you battle the parking for the other restaurants on this end of the parking lot, plus the madness from the In-and-Out lines.“

“Overall it’s good and average pho ? for neighborhood restaurant. Meat was surprisingly better tasting than from the looks. broth was good and average. Noodles were the weakest and just basic. The service was friendly and great. Price is high but for local area pricing it is fair or slighter cheaper than average in the area.“

“One of the best galbi tang I've had and not just in the South Bay, but all of LA. I've been to plenty of places in Ktown and I still prefer Hansol. The portion is huge, bachan is delicious, and the meat is juicy. They give you two giant ribs per portion. I can't speak to anything else on the menu since this is all I ordered, but my friend also enjoys their chicken katsu. 100% worth coming. To go is equally good. Great for a cold day!“

“First timer here. Huge portion sizes, good prices, and they offer more meats compared to other pho spots. The to go bowl is HUGE. You’re eating straight from a bowl vs a styrofoam container you usually get from other pho spots. That’s a huge plus for me. I will be coming back ??“

“I had to edit because I did not do it justice. First time here and I'm definitely coming back to eat the Boat Noodle Soup again before i try anything else.The broth is like a Pho made in the style of Ramen. It's a very dark broth unlike a delicate light Pho (Pho is trash if the broth is dark.) This broth is absurdly flavorful. Bro!If you're reading this, stop wasting time, hit "Drive" on the map and come taste this soup!Word of caution. I eat a lot of spice and getting Hot on this Boat Noodle soup was too much. Hahaha. Go medium if you like spicy food and mild if you barely eat hot food. First time I sweat eating spicy food in like two years.But I loved it!“

“I wanted to share my amazing experience at Casa Noodle Teriyaki during our recent trip from SD to LA. We ordered the chicken teriyaki, salmon crunch roll, spicy tuna crunch roll, baked salmon roll, and avocado roll, and they were all absolutely perfect! The staff was friendly, and the restaurant had a cozy atmosphere. I can't wait to go back to LA just to dine at Casa Noodle Teriyaki again. I highly recommend it!“

“Came here because of an IG video. Michelin ramen in a supermarket? Ok I’ll make the drive to see what the buzz is all about. Upon further research, their other location is in the Michelin guide. It’s still clearly advertised as so at this location. But nonetheless, I did enjoy their tsukemen ramen. The broth was rich and hearty. Their noodles and chashu were extra thick and different from other tsukemen ramen I’ve tried previously. I could tell quality ingredients went into making this ramen. Was it worth the drive? Probably not but I had a great time at the Japanese market and left with an inflatable Pocky stick!“

“Very cozy, personal Japanese restaurant that has a wide menu selection and many extras, house specials, that are listed on the walls only... Fried rice, Kara age chicken, mapo tofu on rice, big huge bowls of ramen ?, most everything I have tried so far is ?Vegetarian options: You can always ask them about whether they use strictly vegetarian broths for certain dishes, if yes, then just add more vegetables, or withholding the meat for certain dishes may be all that's needed...Wheelchair accessibility: A bit difficult, as it is a small place ...there are two or three tables outside though, for those who really want to try it...“

“We discovered this Noodle bar in January when I was down at UCLA for a minor surgery. Food was great then, so we stopped by for lunch last week. Food was great again.Totally recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a clean, quite meal with GREAT food....“

“I've been here twice so far with my daughter...The first time I was served by Nikki and the second time I was served by HollieBoth ladies provided excellent customer service...They took our order, brought our food, and answered any questions we had during our visit...The food here is second to none and I would definitely recommend anyone try it...Vegetarian options: The stir fry dishes are best for people who don't consume meat. Most of them don't come meat unless you ask for it...“

“Went there for lunch with some folks! It was amazing! Ordered all the food and sat down, got a couple of tables together and boom!The food came in waves! Just one dish after another!The staff was so friendly! Super nice!Awesome experience. Great setup. Order and get yourself the plates and utensils and to go boxes and bags. AwesomeOnly thing that sucked was parking. But we found some meters so boom!Parking: Parking is shared with a bar. There was none when we went.“

“Possibly the best ramen in the area. Get the salt ramen. The soup has a deep richness with some hint of fermentation, possibly miso or mirin. The pork belly is tender and fresh. The toppings varied and were complimentary. Pricing is a great deal. Overall, such a hidden gem for the “

“Decent Vietnamese. Portions were smaller than other Vietnamese places, and many of the sauces such as the Nuoc Cham for the Bun Bowl and Peanut sauce for Spring Rolls, were weak and watered down. Would come here again, but hope they can improve these things.“
