Noodle Art in Monterey Park

I cant say I know how the rest of the menu tastes, but their signature noodle bowl is really fantastic! It was way more filling than I expected, since it has small cubes of pork, potato, eggplant, tofu, and a couple of other things, in addition to the noodles themselves. Flavor is great with just the right about of spicy. Definitely recommend you give it a try

First time trying this place. I’ll give the pork burger 3/5 because the bun was a little dry, the shedding pork was pretty oily but tasty. The cold noodles with chili oil was okay. But the spicy braised beef noodles was so good, not too spicy and had a level of numbness. I’ll come again if I’m around this area!

Update: tried hand cut / biang biang noodles elsewhere - including popular influencer spots - and Noodle Art is still my fav!! I love trying the dry noodle options while my husband adores their noodle soups. Still need to try their massive plate of braised chicken noodle which looks amazing!!*** original review ***Was in the mood for really good noodles so husband and I ventured over from West LA one Sunday and it was 100% worth the drive! The hand cut noodles were so deliciously chewy and the Qishan noodles had a fragrant hot and sour broth. The staff is super friendly, too!

The family enjoyed the order which was predicated to one of those YouTuber food travelers. Michael ? You gotta see pics. The fresh noodles were tasty and handmade quality is evident. Seasoned with turmeric and cumin etc..Just yummy overall. Loved the cold noodles on this warm summer day. Lamb soup with pita bread was seasoned just right. But not too enticing. There were a lot of missing items I would have liked to try, but they were red inked out as in the pics. A hole in the wall of some sort, but yet again, If you like fresh noodles, this place is alright if you’re in the area. As always post where ever your palate takes you.

I’d give it a 3.8 rating if I could. The place wasn’t bad or anything. The prices are really good and cheap and it’s an easy in and out stop for a quick noodle lunch. Their speciality is in noodles, and the dishes are slightly spicy! We got the Chinese style hamburger with lamb meet and noodles. The vibe and ambience is very family and cozy vibes. Parking is easy and There are people outside the restauarant soliciting sometimes but overall a decent lunch place!

Im a Chinese immigrant to the United States for two years. Its the first time Ive had such delicious Chinese food. Its the first time Ive tasted authentic China overseas in two years! The meticulous care and considerate service of the waitress, Miss Beauty, makes me feel very warm and warm, and dining in this restaurant is very homely! Very very good!

For a Szechuan place, there are great options with no chili sauce. I had gone with two friends who dont really eat spicy and they were able to find food to suit their palate. I got noodles with spicy sauce and the flavor was slightly tart and savory. My favorite was the stir-fried cabbage. $10 for a plate, amazing flavor and crunch. Theyre known for their noodle soups with lamb and beef but I dont eat lamb so I passed on that. The have mung bean in the drink fridge and I really appreciated it wasnt too sweet.

Weve gone several times now and while their flavors are truly a cut above, I think the real distinguishing factor is their dedication to providing amazing textures in all their dishes. The last time we went, the waiter even apologized for the noodles being overdone and offered to replace them with a better batch before we had even taken a bite; we ate the original and still found the noodles to be bouncier than other places.I would highly recommend getting at least one of the vegetable side dishes along with whatever you order, that way you can have a truly multi-textural experience. In particular, their sliced potatoes (a common Chinese side dish) has been elevated with the addition of subtle Sichuan chili peppers and their bean curd has a snappy bite with a nubbed texture.

This is a western style hotel with authentic taste. It comes from Xian, an ancient city in China. The hotel area is very small, but there are many seats and many guests. The food here is very delicious, and the meat pie is also very delicious. I like it here and I often eat it.
