To ease some inquiring minds, this restaurant used to be one of the Mandarin Deli locations. After the much-undisclosed drama and change of ownership the monicker was changed and so did the quality of food.The menu has remained mostly the same throughout decades with this location seemingly having additional items. The quality and taste do appear to differ from their origins though. Although they offer more hand-pulled options, the dumplings here are not as delicate tasting and often times bland in filling.Although still good, there was just something lacking with each visit.

Knife shaved noodle are the best!! Their food portion is huge, service is decent. The pot sticker was okay average. If you love noodle and dumplings and Chinese pancakes, this place is a must try!

This place is known for their signature noodles just to name few from hand craft noodle, knife cut, thin, thick. Since its mainly Shanxi style, majority of the dish are spicy and taste delicious. But they also have many non spicy choice too so no need to worry. My favorite are the noodle soup, there are like 10 different types and I am on my 5th try xD.

Beef noodle soup and hand pulled noodles are top notch. The noodles are girthy, have good texture, obviously hand pulled, and are a wonderful transport mechanism for the flavorful beef broth. I had about 7 pieces of beef in my soup, which was adequate. Any more and it would detract from the primary purpose of ordering this dish, which are the soup and noodles. Honestly it was so good I forgot to take a picture. I had a side of pan fried dumplings, which were seared perfectly. The meat inside was cooked right, and complimented the crispy chewy textures of the wrapper. The boiled dumplings I could have done without. I ordered pork and cabbage. It obtained about a rounded teaspoon of meat and veg, and was rather unflavorful without the soy/vinegar mix that accompanied the dish. Lastly, how can one come to a Mandarin noodle shop without ordering the Xiao long bao? They call it Small Dumpling here. Theres no pic on the menu, and its hidden in the middle of the menu. Weird. Its strictly middling, for me at least. Our party was split in ratings. One said itl lacked flavor, similar to what I felt about the boiled version. I felt it was average, and so did the last person. The bao actually mightve been slightly overcooked, so a few stuck to the tray, tearing the bottom and losing the holy Grail which is the juicy soup contained in the dumpling. overall, a good experience. Food came quickly, water was attentive with refilling out waters and tea pot.

I had tried two other SGV noodle places and thought they were good enough, but this place takes it up a notch. The broth was not too thick but balanced and flavorful, noodles and dumpling wrappers have the perfect texture. This is now my go to spot for noodles in LA even with 30+ miles of driving.
