Heard about this dish and wanted to try it. Got to the restaurant around 3pm and there were a few tables occupied. The place was cozy. Largest table had 8 chairs and a TV above it, but it was turned off. The only server there welcomed me when I came in, but was on the phone. She gave me a menu and I ordered the dish. When it was brought out, I dove into it, and it was chilled and refreshing. The peanuts, the cucumber, everything mended together deliciously. When I was done with half, I wanted to take the rest to go for my lunch the next day, but the lady was still on the phone. She sat at an unoccupied table and laughed now and then, so I assume it wasn't business. When I was finally noticed, she brought me the bill. I can't believe it was only 10.95! Prices here were great! I wanted to pay cash so I could leave an entire bill for tip, which I did, but I was expecting the usual $15 -$16 total, so she got an almost $10 tip! She was very appreciative, which I love to see whenever I leave big tips. So her happiness made my day. Loved the noodles the next day too. Didn't have to microwave or anything because it was already a cold dish! If I'm craving cold noodles again, I will definitely be back! Hopefully, I will be interacted with more next time too.

I've been on the hunt for a good chicken cold noodle and finally found it! Perfect amount of sesame to garlic, good amount of cucumbers and chicken and perfectly cooked noodle that take in the broth. I loved every bite! My boyfriend got the bean paste noodles and his were great too! Service and quick and great prices. Place is small but quaint. One thing, the owners speak Chinese, you can point to order but it would be easier to have someone with you that can order for you if you need to be specific.

im so glad! very authentic, homemade/handmade everything i think! meat is juicy and the service was pretty quick, nice servers. the place was small and they dont have lights in their sign so i never noticed it before but it's such a cute and clean place!

When I'm craving some pan fried buns I come here! Their house special is my favorite. Also all their Dan Dan noodles is spicy and garlicky which I love. What's even better is their price!

Came here on a whim and had a feast. No one spoke English so we went on YELP and ordered from reviewer's recommendations . We had things we have never seen before and everything was amazing. So much fun. The presentation was fascinating and belied the humble location ( and low prices )

Large portions! Staff speaks Mandarin, no English. Happy with our take out. We ordered the below dishes off their menu. But prices might be a year or 2 years old so unsure what the prices are today. #48 mung bean jelly $4.95. Lots! #32 beef roll $7.95. Not ordering again. #81 stir fry Chinese celery and shredded pork $8.95 #67 sauteed fish filet $11.50. Lots of fish! Ordered through the phone. It took 15min to be ready. Parking is limited. $22 cash for frozen dumplings. Looking forward to trying it. I use to enjoy Kingsburgs, but now enjoy Mama Lu's original location frozen dumplings. Open to suggestions if you know better places.

Happy Noodles has been here in Arcadia as long as I had been here (11 years and counting), but this was probably my first time coming here! Happy noodle is located away from most other Chinese establishment, but that does not mean it is not nearly as good or authentic! I especially loved their noodle soup with pickled vegetable and pork (雪菜肉絲麵), and their beef rolls (牛肉卷餅). I was actually very surprised at how much I loved their beef rolls: it wasn't oily, it was saucy but not too salty, and good beef to cilantro ratio. There were so many other dishes that I wanted to try, their Shan Dong Stuffed Buns, cold appetizers, lamb dishes, etc. Their dishes brings a taste of home and I'm so glad I found this place. Although the decor and service may not be best, it's a nice mom and pop shop that should not be replaced!

My all time favorite Chinese restaurant! Seriously my family and I love this hole in the wall so much. The interior is small but the food here is amazing and portion sizes are huge. We always get the same dishes when we come and they never ever disappoint. Lamb casserole ($15.50) - super flavorful and soul warming lamb broth with tofu, glass noodles, lamb meat with green onions and cilantro. A MUST GET! Hot and Sour Mung Bean Jelly ($5.95) - thick mung bean noodles (just tastes like glass noodles) in hot chili sauce. The perfect appetizer to start the meal and I love adding the remaining chili sauce on everything else. Stir fried Sliced potatoes ($9.50) - self explanatory but you can order it cooked with vinegar or without. Comes with sliced carrots and green onions as well. So delicious and always cooked perfectly. Stir fried pig kidney ($11.95) - if you love kidney you'll love this dish! Comes with kidney, celery, wood ear mushrooms, and cooked with chili for a bit of a kick. Service here is typical of what you would expect at any Asian restaurant, but they always quickly accommodate anything we ask for. Parking lot is fairly small but there are some hidden spots in the back.
