Yummy Noodle — Restaurant in Fountain Valley

Exploring Yummy Noodle: A New Hand-Pulled Noodle restaurant in Fountain Valley

Just a few streets away from my friend’s house in Fountain Valley, a new Lanzhou hand-pulled noodle restaurant called Yummy Noodle has opened about three months ago. Being a noodle lover, I decided to gather some friends and check it out.

At Yummy Noodle, you can choose from three types of noodles: hand-pulled (fresh), knife shaved, and wide noodles. I went with the wide one for my Dan-Dan noodle, and I have to say, the texture was just perfect—chewy and satisfying. Our group of four ordered a variety of dishes, and overall, we enjoyed our order, especially considering the reasonable prices. However, I wouldn't recommend the Shanghai juicy dumplings, as they were quite average.

what we ordered: Lanzhou Hand-Pulled Noodles ($15.49): Two of my friends chose the fresh hand-pulled noodles. They both loved how the noodles paired with the flavorful broth and the six slices of beef.

Dan Dan Noodle ($12.99): The flavor was great, the portion was generous, and it wasn't spicy at all, which was a plus for me.

Spicy Wontons in Chili Oil (10 pieces, $9.99): These were small in size but tasty, and the chili oil wasn’t too spicy, which made it quite enjoyable.

Steamed Chicken ($9.99): I liked it and ordered an extra to-go and pair with some sliced cucumber.

Shanghai Soup Dumplings (8 pieces, $11.99): These were pretty average and didn't taste handmade, so I wouldn't recommend this one.

The dining space is quite spacious, and the food came out quickly. The staff was friendly and could speak Chinese and English, which made ordering easy.

Given that there aren't many places like this around the area, I've already made a return visit!

By far one of the best noodle shops I've been to in the past couple of years. Let me start off by saying my family, especially my son loves noodles. We've tried a lot of noodle shops ranging from LA to OC and so far, Yummy Noodle ranks 1st for our family. We were seated quickly and service was excellent. The food came out quick, hot, and fresh. Everything was super flavorful and tasty. The ambiance is really nice too, the kids loved seeing the chefs behind the counter hand-pulling and hand-cutting all the noods, it was a great experience.

We ordered: Lan Zhou noodle soup - 5 stars, I can eat this bowl on a daily basis. Steamed chicken - LOVED the sauce, sweet and spicy, but not too spicy, perfectly balanced. Veggie spring rolls - Bigger than most eggrolls you get at other restaurants, very flavorful and came out steaming hot. Beef wrap - OMG!!! the first beef wrap I ordered where they gave more beef rather than spring onions and cilantro. Xiaolongbao - Goodbye DTF, hello Yummy Noodle. Finally, I can get my high quality XLB while the kids enjoy a hearty bowl of noodles!!!

Overall, if you haven't tried Yummy Noodle yet, then you're missing out. Make sure to visit this place you won't regret it. Best of all, the pricing is super affordable, I was very surprised when I saw their pricing, for the quality and quantity of food, you...

Wow, true fresh hand made noodles, they literally sliced the noodles right in front of you, and it taste superb. This is the freshest hand made noodles in OC.

We tried the following dishes:

Chong Qing Style Spicy Noodles with knife shaved type noodles ~ the flavor of the broth was very rich with a little spice numbing kick to it, I love it, the noodles were so fresh and chewy, you can taste the freshness in every bite!!

Shanghai Juicy Dumplings ~ my kids loved it so much we ended up ordering 4 orders. Yes 4 orders of it and they finished it all !! The dumplings was that good, even though the skin was not as thin as DTF but it's up there!!

Spicy Wontons ~ I honestly think that this is one of the best spicy wontons around, it's smaller in size but the taste is very well balanced, they seasoned it very nicely!!

Beef Wrap ~ the roll is huge and it's very nicely seasoned with sesame oil and the beef is very well marinated and with the right amount of sweet bean sauce too!!

Veggie Spring Rolls ~ perfect food for kids to enjoy churchy skin with veggies inside

Fried Shrimp ~ typical tempura shrimp

YES, 100% we'll definitely be back to try other dishes, the price is very very reasonable and the quality of the food was top notch!! If your into fresh noodles and juicy dumplings, this place is a...
