88 Beef Noodle - Arcadia

The premium beef noodle soup I got was a solid 2. I wanted to like the place more but there were too many factors making me dislike it. The meat offerings were alright and fair, and tripe is not always offered which was nice. However one of the tendons was still cold on the inside which was unfortunate. There were also two noodle clumps that were not separated properly, or at all during cooking which really sucked. As for the broth, I personally like things a but saltier/spicy but regardless I thought it was alright. It was not super rich, but I won't say it lacked flavor.. maybe just complexity? I also didn't find it spicy at all, but no mind I just added some more chili oil myself.If everything was hot unclumped I'd give this bowl a 3 star. The reason I'm currently rating this place a 3 is because the service was great and I didn't have any issues with that. I will say though, at the price point (20$ OTD tax/tip/service fee; which I understand is likely going to be the same in many places) I would probably not order it again. Just didn't seem worth it for a 3 star bowl.

I ordered the House Beef Noodle Soup, and the meal is so flavorful and delicious it made me come back for more whenever i stopped by Arcadia.The Food: The beef noodle soup bowl consists of noodles, braised beef, vegetable leaf, and the soup contains chili oil and some other flavors. When you start off with the noodles, the texture is a good balance of not hard nor soggy. It's soft and chewy. The beef is very savory. When you bite the meat, it's soft and easily melt in your mouth. Also, the beef doesn't contain a lot of fat, which is a good thing. I like eating the meat because it gives a sweet spice aroma and it's warm.The atmosphere is nice and quiet. You have the view of the busy street to view while enjoying your meal. Parking is available, but it's small. The restroom is outside the corner of the restraunt.Service: The restraunt also take orders thru food apps and phone orders.Conclusion: i give this a 5 star because this place is one of the best beef noodle soup restraunt in the SGV. If you're coming to the SGV or near Arcadia, i suggest you visit this place and give it a taste. You won't be disappointed.Parking: The parking space is in a plaza and its free to park. Customer parking only. Also this plaza contain many nice snacks and drinks after you finish your meal.Wheelchair accessibility: Theres not stairs so its wheelchair accessible .

Went into this place with my family and my friends around 3:00 p.m. We were the only people in the store. They graciously closed the door and turned on the air conditioning.We ordered beef noodle soup, steamed dumplings, pan fried dumplings, sauteed spinach, beef roll.Beef noodle soup was delicious. There were plenty of noodles to share with four adults so everyone could get a taste.Beef roll was soft and they use cucumbers within.Sauteed spinach had a delicious flavorThey charge about a 3% service fee if you use credit card.I'm very grateful that we discovered this place today. Most other stores were closed at this time.

I understand this is a mom and pop shop so I am not trying to be mean or anything. But I tried this place due to the reviews and the beef noodle soup was so salty, the saltiness was so overwhelming I ended up throwing it away. It's as of someone dumped half a canister of salt.... that's how salty it was. I tried to rinse out the saltiness by pouring out the broth and adding water but the noodles were super salty as well. I don't like to waste food and my food history has some quite unpalatable dishes. I'm not sure if it was an off day or the cook was stressed out? When I went to get my food there was another party of 3 at around 2-3 pm in the afternoon. Most of the reviews kept talking about authentic taste and everything but I don't think so unless it's supposed to be this salty?I also ordered the 5 spice dish.... it's less salty than the beef noodle soup. But still salty as well and the portion size is very small about 5-6 slices. Same for the beef tendon dish.I'll give them a star for actually responding to online orders and letting you know when you can pickup your food. Some places you literally have to guess...Parking: There is a lot of parking in the back.
