Food is delicious Good price and great portion .I ordered kung Pao chicken lunch deal . The size is like a dinner entree size and the rice comes in a separate container all for $10 included with a free milk tea. The kid that works there he is very polite and very fast with helping customer in between packing food and taking orders

Omg!!! We love their beef noodle soup. We live far from here but when I have a doctor appointment, we make it a point to stop and eat there or order our food to take home and by the way it's still hella hot when get there.

Just absolutely excellent. First off, I really appreciate the vegetarian options here. They don't skimp out on the amount of tofu they add to their dishes and it's so yummy. The mapo tofu is delicious - spicy and flavorful. The hot dry mix noodles are out of this world. The sauce they use is so delicious and the little tofu pieces as well as the vegetables they add in are amazing. The portions are also so big for the price.

This place is a surprise find for me. I was visiting the now-closed butcher place without knowing that it was permanently closed. I was hungry, so I just popped into this restaurant. Me and my party ordered the Spicy Wonton Soup, Beef Noodle Soup, Black Sugar Boba Latte, and Lemon Yakult. While there are indoor and outdoor seating areas, the place runs like a to-go shop: no table service, you pick up your food from the counter when ready on a plastic tray, and no metal cutlery or dinnerware--just to-go containers and plastic cutlery. I didn't expect much from the looks of this place, but I was wrong. The soups came out piping hot, which was nice on a cold day, but you want to use caution with kids. The wonton soup had about 15 wontons in decent size, with a lot of diced green onions, cilantro, and a good amount of scorched red pepper oil floating on top of the liquid. The soup was savory and spicy due to the oil. At first, I didn't think I'd get full, but it ended up filling me up pretty well, and I had left-over soup that I took to-go (the soup was too good to discard) by simply putting a lid on the container that it came in. My party enjoyed the non-spicy beef noodle soup; he said he'd order it again. The black sugar boba was very sweet, full of liquid brown sugar goodness. The lemon yakult (yakult is a sweet probiotic drink) was refreshing but a bit too sweet for me. I am not sure whether you can customize the sweetness level; after all, this place is a noodle place, not a boba house. I found the overall atmosphere and food to be authentically Taiwanese. I didn't expect authenticity from a to-go spot like this, so I was pleasantly surprised. I will come back to try other dishes. Parking is free; you just need to get into the right parking structure. You will see signs around the building. If you are entering a parking structure that's pretty narrow and small, that's the right one.

This place is a bit inconspicuous. Its located at the bottom of an apartment complex around the bend. All the spots in front are labeled "pick up only", but I don't think it's checked too much. I think there's a parking garage in the back, but the ones in front of it are all labeled resident so I wish there was better signage. Going in, the vibe is very friendly and casual. The cashier had the chillness of a surfer dude and a lot of the seats are like metal stools. It's very much self service so they market no tip! It was pretty free on a Sunday morning. You order on a kiosk and pay there but for their special desserts you have to order with the cashier. You pick up your plastic tray to the table, and the tableware is pretty much disposable. Then you separate and throw into the trash cute yourself. The noodles are reasonable priced and decent portion with the thicker spaghetti like rice noodles. Spice level wise- I got extremely spicy and it was more chili oil than spicy, it was bearable. I think medium spicy is like chili garlic sauce. Overall consensus was that the broth was on the saltier side so I could not finish it. It might very been the addition of dried chili too that made it too salty. Beef noodles- super tender like melt in your mouth and decent amount of chunks. Flat wide noodles. Would recommend. Dry noodles- my order, a bit salty but good portion. Comes with roasted peanuts and pickled string beans ( which are really hard to find now) the string beans are sooo crunchy, I def need a plug to their supplier, cuz I missed them so much. The meat was also very tender Guilin noodles- didn't try but again lots of pickled string beans in it. Coconut Jelly with osmanthus- for $5 I really enjoyed it as a cooling dessert. The jelly was on the soft jiggly side with not much osmanthus flavor. There was some crunchier pieces on top and the red bean added a nice sweetness. Pretty clean flavor? Not creamy or floral so it was a better finisher than a drink. If you come here I recommend smaller groups due to limited seasoning? Very casual lunch vibes and the beef noodles are all good because they cook their beef super tender, just on the salty side. It's a good deal for the flavor.

I just discovered the perfect spot for a quick and delicious lunch: Qin West Noodle in Irvine! Their authentic Chinese noodles and cozy seating area with street food-style stools brought back amazing memories of my travels in Japan and Mexico City. The flavors of their Guilin and Wonton Soup were spot-on, delivering that classic Chinese flavor I was craving. I loved the peanuts in the Guilin soup -- they added an unexpected twist of flavor and texture. And let's not forget about their Matcha Milk Tea with Red Bean! If you're a fan of red bean like me -- Don't miss out on this drink! (FYI I got 50% sweetness )

|[ c h e a t m e a l n o o d z ]| Pretty authentic and quite delicious for the occasional Chinese noodles cheat meal! Tried some of the beef noodle soup and such a classic, freshly made noodles in flavorful soup, yummy and decent portions 4/5. Wonton soup was also really good! The wontons were flavorful but not salty and the soup was also pretty bomb and I love how big the bowl was and the decent portions 5/5. Also not too much oil in the soup which I appreciated. |[ o v e r a l l ]| Small space but was easy for order in and take out, parking out front also easy. Efficient service. My only critique is to improve on the packing of the soup as some of it spilled in the car and it appears the top popped off. Will def be returning for authentic Chinese noodle cravings!
