Reviews for 101 Noodle Express in Arcadia, CA

Bring Cash! Pre-pandemic this was my go to beef noodle place, then the pandemic hit and they were closed for nearly the entire... duration. I am glad they have finally reopened. Parking: can be difficult since their lot is small but you can always park onthe side streets. Tea - good Beef noodle soup - tender beef, spice was not the burning type of spice but instead had more ofan irritating effect. Wish the soup was hotter when served. Noodles were well made and variable in width. Enjoyed that the soupcame with egg and seaweed which was a first for me in this dish. Beef rolls - great taste but wished the wrap was crispy andthe dish was hotter. Pan fried pork dumplings - they had a freezer taste to them which I didn?t noticed pre-pandemic. Hopefullyas they go through their batches, they will be fresher. Chili oil - you need to include this with your dining experience. It?snot spicy in my opinion (but I have a higher tolerance) but adds a beautiful flavor. Much better than chili oils I?ve hadelsewhere. Each dish was $12-14. Post pandemic prices seems about average. Service was good but we were one of 2 tablespresent just prior to closing. I also had to run to the bank since they are cash only, but it was in the middle of the nightand the bank is next door. I will be back earlier in the day on my next visit and I hope the food is served hot then and mydumplings are fresher in taste. Read more

They serve a variety of handmade noodles, dumplings, soups, and Chinese style charcuterie. You can get the dumplings steamed or... panfried. All the portions were generously sized. The food was all tasty and very authentic in that it tasted. The same as thenice fast casual restaurants in China. Service was quick and friendly during an early lunch Christmas Eve. They gave uscomplimentary xiaolong bao for ordering more than $45. So we got 6 dishes for for $50 after tax. The restaurant interior wasnice. Great casual dining option. Read more

Great food! It?s your typical Chinese restaurant where you share food from the main dishes. Parking is hard and place isn?t as... clean but it?s got good service. Prices are in the high end but you get good portions and most likely will have leftovers. Trytaking home leftovers at buffets. Read more

Foods are on the plain side but it is good late night spot. Nothing fancy and the place is on the auto pilot (no one care).

Good fast Chinese food restaurant. Their chicken soup noodle is special. They even have Shandong chicken ????, which I have... never seen in US before. Their lamp soup noodle also is a good choice. ???pepper sauce???????????????????????Pay attention thatit is a cash only store. Read more
