The last time I had Guilin noodles was when I was in Guilin and purposes some roadside. It was served in a plastic bag, but it was one of the more comforting noodles I've had. Years later I noticed a few Guilin noodles place pop up. I decided to give this high Yelp-rated one a try!Food: Guilin noodles in soup with medium spice level - Thicker yet smooth rice noodles in a savory broth. Medium spice is perfect for me. Came with sliced meats and some pickled vegetables. Service: Very friendly wait staff. The waitress made various recommendations. She sold me on the chrysanthemum tea. It was good! Environment: The outdoor seating area is larger than the indoor seating. Came here on a weekday for lunch and it was near empty. Price: It's pretty reasonably priced for a large bowl of noodle soup.

Great vegetarian noodle soup. The broth is pretty light, I got medium spicy and could barely taste the kick, so you can definitely go higher. Love that they include tofu by default as protein compared to a lot of places that only have carbs for their veggie option. Added an extra hard boiled (tea?) egg and washed it down with some sweet chrysanthemum tea.

this is solely for the operation of this noodle placed. while the food is great, the operation and how the business is being run is disappointing. twice I came here after checking both websites (Yelp and Google) for the hours but the owner decided not to open. There was one time I called and no answered. Later I found out the owner is on vacation when I messaged them and found out days later. how difficult is it to update the hours or leave a greeting message on the business landline? Tip: call before to make sure they are open.

I'm a sucker for rice noodles and these hit the spot for me! Huge portions and great prices. I ordered the spicy fish noodle soup and asked for it to be numbing (mala) spice and added pickled veggies for a sour kick. The soup was rich and the rice noodles were the perfect chew. Service was fast and the auntie who worked there was so sweet! Will be back soon - especially because it is getting chillier!

The most popular bowl, Guilin noodle, has a bacon studded broth adorning rice noodles and fixings. You'll find the satisfying bowl laced with peanuts, pickled green beans, preserved vegetables, lettuce, chili oil, and shaved pork. Service is friendly and straightforward with a simply arranged dining area inside and out. If you're a fan of bacon, noodles and soup, or never had bacon flavored broth, you owe it to yourself to give Trational Guilin Noodles a try.

The House Special Guilin Noodles are an absolute must if you're a fan of spicy food, even if you can only handle a hint of heat! The mild spiciness was perfect for me and added an extra kick to the dish.Not only is there seating available inside, but they also have plenty of outdoor seating options. And let me tell you, the lady who was working there was unbelievably kind. Her hospitality made the dining experience even more enjoyable. I'm already looking forward to going back for another visit.

Came here for lunch on a Saturday during lunch hours and it was kind of empty. The outdoor patio was very spacious and had lots of shade despite that it was a sunny day. I could see some tables inside as well. Music played in the background, creating a nice ambiance. Service was fast. The lady asked us if we wanted to sit inside cause there's AC but we were okay. Then she quickly came to take our orders, recommending their homemade teas. The food didn't take too long to come out either, less than 10 minutes. I got the house special Guilin noodles with rice noodles in the soup. I choose the lowest level of spicy, expecting it to be hardly spicy but it still kind of burned my throat. Next time I'll ask for no spice. The portion was amazing for the price of $11.99. You just don't see that often in this economy. The wintermelon tea was only $2.50 and had no ice inside which means it won't dilute. The rice noodles were on point, nice and chewy with some slices of beef and peanuts in the soup. The tea was also good. Highly recommend for some yummy rice noodles that are reasonably priced. Also come try just to support this small business! They're right next door to the dance studio that had the shooting.

I wanted to take some time to write a review for our favorite place to get Guilin noodles. We've visited this business several times: so many times that we've become regulars here and the sweetest woman working (often alone it seems) always remembers our order. The food is so reasonably priced and the portions are LARGE. The traditional guilin noodles are authentic and we always make sure to ask for it to be extra sour and extra "mala" or "numbing." It quite literally never disappoints and the soup always comes out in record-breaking time. This shop definitely deserves more business and it didn't feel right gatekeeping this hidden gem in the 626, so here's my review for yall haha.Traditional Guilin Noodles is in my top 5 of favorite places to eat in the area. Go give it some commotion and thank me later.

A good place to enjoy rice noodles. The portion size was quite big. There is nice outdoor seating as well. We also got the cucumber salad but the taste was not as refreshing as expected.
