Tasty Noodle House:An Underrated Shanghainese Gem in Hacienda Heights

Tucked away in a corner of the Hacienda Heights 99 Ranch plaza, Tasty Noodle House has been my go-to spot for authentic Shanghainese comfort food for years! I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve dined in or ordered takeout from this humble eatery. And guess what? Their menu boasts over 100 dishes—yes, you read that right! 😲 While they’re best known for their noodles, from soupy bowls to mixed noodles with various toppings, they recently launched an incredible deal: $13.99 for a noodle bowl with your choice of 8 toppings! Options include a fried egg, braised beef brisket, red-braised pork, and Shanghainese-style tofu. It’s the perfect affordable lunch for busy office workers or anyone watching their budget! 🍜💼 Though it might not be the first name that comes to mind for Shanghainese cuisine in LA, their dishes like Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, Pan-Fried Pork Buns, and Fermented Tofu are absolute standouts. The ribs strike a perfect balance—not overly sour, and coated just right without being overly starchy. The pan-fried buns? Quietly delicious, with juicy fillings and crispy bottoms. Other classic Shanghainese dishes like Eggplant with Basil, Pork Belly with Tofu Knots, and Crab Roe Tofu are also solid choices that never disappoint. This no-fuss, neighborhood spot has built a loyal following over the years—and for good reason! With generous portions and wallet-friendly prices (just $15–$20 per person), it’s like that sweet, underrated flower in LA’s Chinese food scene that everyone adores once they discover it. 🌸 Let’s continue supporting these cherished local gems—here’s to many more years of deliciousness!
