Noodle Monster — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Excellent!!! I definitely recommend you check them out. I loved my food.

Fresh and very flavorful. It's the flavor that will bring me back.

Don't let the storefront scare you off. This is a step above most storefront restaurants in terms of quality and flavor.

The chicken satay was fresh and quite good. Great cucumber salad and peanut sauce.

I had the Spicy Tonkotsu and loved it. Really really liked it. The flavors were so good. The pork was very tender. The noodles were perfect. My new standard for Tonkotsu.

The staff was very friendly and attentive.

It's the typical storefront setting, but quite clean.

I think they are known for their Pho, so i will try that next.

You must try this place. The flavors were so good.

UPDATE

Went back a week later and had the Beef Pho. It was good. I don't know what good Pho is, so I'll just say I'll look to try other dishes. Third time trying beef pho at three different places and it's probably just not my thing.

My friend had the Panang Curry and it was outstanding. Too hot for me, but they said it could be made more mild though my friend ordered it mild. The flavor was truly excellent. I highly recommend it.

We also had the Shrimp Rolls and they were very delicious. The shrimp...

Noodle Monster is a very casual noodle asian / noodle restaurant in a very casual part of Valley Village. The food was tasty enough, though presentation varied.

I had the fried rice with soy chicken (I’m a fiend for soy meat dishes). This was very easy. The soy chicken was tender and worked well in the dish. It wasn’t anywhere near as beautiful as the other dishes that the other folks in my parter ordered and could have used some vegetables to round it.

I also had a side of battered tofu. This was was light and came with a sweet peanut sauce. It was a little over fried which seemed to make much of the tofu inside the batter disappear…it was almost like tofu-puffs. (Sure “Tofu Puffs” SOUNDS exciting, but in practice it wasn’t as satisfying as I wanted.

We had a side of vegetables at our table which were super fresh and hella-green!

As I mentioned, this is a casual place which is almost nice-ish, definitely clean and while we were seated for dinner, lots of people coming in for...

We were excited to find a noodle restaurant that served pho, ramen and Thai dishes! However, we were disappointed.

The service was ok.

Food: -Khao Soi: It's a Thai noodle soup dish. You have a bowl of noodles and slices of chicken in a bowl of Thai yellow curry. The dish was flavorful and they served generous portions. However, I've had better in Thai town. It's nice to know that you can order this dish here.

-Spicy Thai Basil Chicken: Not good. We ordered medium spicy and it tasted like mild. It was served with big slices of chicken instead of the traditional ground chicken. It was not what we expected. It lacked flavor.

FYI, Thai Iced tea is FREE with Yelp check-in! But, it tasted kinda watered down.

Overall, it was a disappointment. We won't be coming back especially since there are much better Thai food options...
