Noodle St. Irvine

The noodles were amazing

Good food

This place is a dream for foodie zabihatarians. Like all that longing for cool food that ya never had. Bc all the meat here is halal! Them hand cut noodles be dang chewy and hella flavourful. They give you a pair of scissors if you ask nicely for the noodles. Also be prepped to be in the SPLASH ZONE with the soup. It’s worth it but you will probs get some on you. Beyond the noodle soups, the other noodle dishes are amazing. Even the cold noodle dish is bomb. Also them beef patty rolls, 10/10. Portions are pretty large, but also I don’t eat much. The staff is chill and really nice so be nice to em! Parking: A lot of parking bc the huge parking lot. Kid-friendliness: Kids are allowed in but keep in mind the soups can splash around

Yes, they charged tips based on the price including tax!!! Like others, they charged you more tips than what you checked on your receipt. Please double check 2 days later

Merchants keep manipulating the tip amounts, secretly altering the tip percentages! The tip is calculated on the taxed total, not the cost of the food! 商家不断的在小费上做文章，偷偷改小费比例！这家餐厅的小费是在含税的基础上计算的，而不是在单独的菜价基础上！ 1. Evening Visit with 20% Gratuity on Taxed Total: On one occasion, I dined in with a group of six. Upon receiving the bill, I noticed that a 20% gratuity had been automatically added, which is understandable for a large group. However, my concern arises from the fact that this 20% was calculated on the total amount including tax. This is not a standard practice and seems unfair to the customer. 2. Lunch Visit with Discrepancy in Tip Charged: On another visit, during lunch, I chose a 15% tip option on the bill. However, upon reviewing my bank statement two days later, I discovered that I was charged a 20.5% tip instead of the 15% I had selected. This discrepancy is concerning and suggests a potential issue with your billing process.

The service improved a lot, the food is very good

Knife cut noodles undercooked. Asked well done got home and still not cooked well.

This place can be a hit or a miss depending on who services you there. Two of the staff there are very unfriendly and don’t follow up with customer requests for food order prep. Beef quality here is average. They don’t use the best beef and they don’t use the worst beef so beef quality is average. Offering freshly made knife cut noodles is a plus but those are often undercooked.Fried rice here is not so good and more Americanized. Beef rolls to cut back on cost they add throw in all the stems from Cilantro as well into beef rolls. Beef in soup is often on the chewy side as they don’t use prime beef and just boil it. Once in a while you get lucky and can be a little less chewy. For spinach here they use the American Spinach and not the Taiwan spinach and leave stems in which are not soft. Those stems will continue to chew as you chew them. Knife cut noodles noodles often undercooked.

It's not my preference; I usually don't enjoy noodles, so my rating might be lower compared to others. I have specific noodle places I prefer due to being picky. Additionally, the soup and spice flavors weren't to my liking, and the spiciness overshadowed other tastes.
