Noodle World — Restaurant in San Marino

I've been coming to this location since it was known as Tongdang. I came here for some takeout - getting some favorite dishes not only for dinner but some leftovers for the week.

The place was clean, safe for them and us, and they couldn't have been more friendly or accommodating. I'm glad they're still open, I'm glad that they still have the lemongrass pork and my other favorites. My order was delicious, meat was tender, and portions were generous.

I do wish they had a system you could pay ahead but smaller places often don't. The prices seem around the same to me, but my feeling is if we want our favorite places to be around when life goes back to semi normal, treat them generously now when they're struggling.

I'm using the quarantine to try some other dishes which I tend not to do but now seems like the right time because, well, nothing's normal anymore. The one new dish I tried wasn't a favorite, but I discovered a new sauce I do love! Is it wrong to give a dish to a family member and tell them they need to get...

Went in today to get my usual pad see you with fry tofu, and it was not like how it used to be before. They gave me broccoli instead of bok choy and didn’t mention why when I got home. I opened my plate to five broccoli that didn’t even look mixed into my noodles when the only reason why I get this dish is because the bok choy is one of my favorite things about it. I asked for a chili oil on the side and the little container was 1/4 filled with chili oil I am incredibly disappointed. I should’ve opened my box there and then so I could’ve asked for a refund never going to leave without opening my food first because I want my pad see you with bok choy and enough chili oil to give my noodle some spice. Seriously I’m so disappointed that I didn’t open it there and then because I would’ve asked to remake my dish with the bok choy or giving me a refund because I did even...

Love this place! So many different things to order and choose from! The Rare Steak Pho has always been my fav and the Pad See Ew noodles.

Parking is a little difficult cause you have to find it in the store front or on the side streets.

There are lots of tables! There wasn’t anyone to greet us right away but when the waiter came up, he was really nice and helpful. He brought us hot water with lemon on a freezing night, it was perfect! He also asked if we wanted an extra bowl when we ordered soup, so he thought ahead!

We ordered the Rare Steak Pho and Green Curry. Both were good! The Pho’s broth was very tasty! The green curry was a tad too spicy for me but still good (not the best but it was good)!

Overall, had a great experience with warm food on a cold night. The wait wasn’t too...
