Small business restart with great food. Had the #20 which is the house noodle soup, with the soup on the side. . Also ordered the Chinese donut to dip it into the soup. Very filling and I left happy and very satisfied. They also have rice dishes as well. Another gem of a restaurant in the San Gabriel Valley!!! Ill give it 10 diamonds out of 5 stars!!!! Side note, the owner/host speaks English, Cantonese, and Vietnamese from what I was able to pick up while dining there. Update: several months later came back to this gem; still as good as I remember it. Got their special noodles with the Chinese donut. Honestly cant go wrong with that. Got me full. Still very much satisfied with their food!!! 👍👍👍Further update: came in on a cool August morning. Needed to satisfy my noodle craving. Came back to Sams noodle station and got the hu tieu dac biet cold (soup on the side) and a side of Chinese donuts. Sams doesnt disappoint. Family run business, speaking in Cantonese. They have their regulars and randoms like me coming in. Its relatively slow in the morning, granted I came in just around 8am after dropping the kids off from school. The mornings would have kind, elderly people coming in n out. Great place to grab a bowl of noodles and then a coffee at Lees next door in the same plaza. Maybe grab some fresh baked goods at simply splendid. All n all, a wonderful experience.

Same foods served here as in Mackey Noodle in Duarte. The foods are mostly Chow Zhou style cooking which means a lot of noodle items and pan fried turnip cakes.Since we like the fried rice noodles at Mackey, we ordered the dish here along with fried turnip cake. Both were good and delicious. But the flavors at Mackey is more stand out. I can taste the wok Hei in Mackey’s noodle.Besides the difference in food, Mackey provides a more pleasant dining environment and friendlier service. The surface of the tables here were very sticky and seemed like they had not been clean thoroughly. The server here was also not overly eager to serve us. When we asked a few questions about the food, the server was very impatient, it was like we are bothering her for being there. I guess we would not return here and will just stick with Mackey noodle then.

Got the wonton noodle soup and the bot chien which is good. Solid place for wonton noodle soup. You can get rice noodles and egg noodles dry or wet style. Great service and clean too.

Yellow Noodle Soup was no good have a bad smell like been expire for days. The rice noodle was ok but the soup also smell bad and taste expire. Told the owner and he ignore me. Told him third time he was like so what it the chief fault. Also when I pay the lady over charge me. So be careful and look at the bill.

The portions are generous and the broth is mild and fresh. The house rice noodle is very good and comes with a good amount of protein. A menagerie of fish balls, shrimp, ground pork and slices of chicken. Make sure you try the mildly spicy orange sauce in the little containers on the table. If you get the leftovers to go the waitress might be nice enough to give you an extra bowl of broth to go like she offered me!

Top 3 noodle places ever! Love the fact that you can mix and match your noodles choices ranging from pho, rice, and egg noodles thick and skinny. There is a huge selection of different types of toppings you can get. You must MUST try the noodles topped with pig liver. It will change your life!!!

My parents and I love coming to this place, every time I come I always get the beef with red rice. I also like the pig kidney they have too. All of their food are super flavorful and the staff is super friendly.

The laksa broth had a good spice level and was so good! There was a lot of chicken, a few pieces of shrimp, and some puff tofu on top. This bowl was so big that I saved half for lunch the next day, and it was still delicious! I would highly recommend it.

Love the special dry noodle there. Everything was good. If you are not afraid of trying pig organs, this is a good place to try.

Good variety on this noodle shop. My standard order is the assorted noodle. Their porridge is pretty thick and hits the spot when I need a warm meal. Fried noodles are also tasty.

Good to destination if you’re craving noodles! They’re known for their house special which I would recommend. One thing that I love about this place is your ability to pick what noodles you like. You can also mix and match the noodles which is a plus. Parking can be tough depending on what time you go. Expect a wait too during the weekends but worth it.

Kim Kee Noodle Cafe is a casual local Chinese noodle eatery with Vietnamese influences. My family is loyal to this restaurant for its extremely low-priced but tasty authentic eats. Their house spicy satay sauce greatly enhances any of the dishes. My favorite here is the fried rice cakes. Environment is really humble but service is pretty nice. Expect a short wait as it always gets crowded.

One of the popular Vietnamese noodle soup restaurant. The taste not as good as before. But still keep the average . The fired rice cake added egg is very yummy. Very warm service . Reasonable price. Coconut dessert is very good.
