DongTing Noodle

food was good. however, i ordered the noodle soup with the pork. based on the menu, i had the misimpression that it would be at least a bit spicy, but it turned out not spicy at all. it was still delicious but it was just surprising to me. the side dishes were quite average. the atmosphere was ok. they had some cute and creative decorative menus and a funny (chinese) sign in the bathroom. although we went in on a sat, it was quite empty somehow.

Good atmosphere and vibes—‘perfect lunch spot in sawtelle for that beef noodle soup craving you’ve been thinkin about. I’ve actually tried this place dine in and out! The wood ear x innards x tofu skin salad is so mouth watering— spicy and flavorful. The noodle soups come with large portion and the flavor is so so good (for dine in)— I think the noodle soup delivery just doesn’t hit the same— but still tasty!! The meat is always delicious and so are the noodles :) The 盐酥鸡 here— my gawdddd chefs kiss THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. The right about of crispy textured and the perfect savory spicy notes that makes you want to literally inhale it. You can’t deny how good it is and they really give the basil to ya too— the Chinese broccoli as a side dish is also solid choice 👍 The beef noodle soups alone is about 18-19 bucks I think? So I would say the meal can easily be 20-30 bucks depending on what sides you got to order with. But if you’ve got a small stomach— bring a pal and split a bowl!! Will totes come back for other dishes 10000/10!!💫💫💫💫💫

Authentic Chinese noodle place with attentive & fast service. The place is very clean as well. Must try: shrimp & zucchini xiu mai (or any other xiu mai!). The technique is top level! (They seem to have changed the menu lately)

There wasn't a Chinese noodle soup restaurant in West LA other than Mr Rice. It's a good restaurant but it comes with hefty parking fees (finding parking near UCLA can be a nightmare, I ended up paying over $20 for parking). Then DongTing Noodle 🍜 came to save the day! I love coming back here when I need a light meal that's healthy and delicious! I have to say though, if you like noodle soup with a mild taste, then this restaurant is definitely worth a try! This place is cozy and clean 🫧! Customer service is great, too 👍🏼! You would order your food by scanning the QR code located on your table! The food: House Special Beef Rice Noodle Soup (10/10): This is by far my number 1 dish in the restaurant! The beef was juicy and mildly chewy! The soup smelled good and tasted really healthy! The rice noodles are neither soggy nor hard to chew! The portion was generous! It was mildly spicy, which adds to the flavor! Loved it 🤤😋! Soy sauce braised Pork Ribs Rice Noodle Soup (9/10): I loved this too. The pork was really savory. I didn't give this 10/10 just cos the soup could do with a little more salt! Red Braised Pork Noodle Soup (10/10): This is my number 2 recommended dish from the restaurant! The meat was my favorite part of the dish🐷🍖! The fatty part was maybe 1/3 of the meat on every chop of the meat, which I thought was a great balance (too much fats on the pork can be a little heavy on the after taste)! Soy Braised Beef Slices w/ Cilantro (10/10): **THIS IS A COLD DISH** I enjoyed this, the spice wasn't so overwhelming that you couldn't taste the beef slices! This is a good appetizer to consider! Crispy Chicken (10/10): Wow! There are literally so many restaurants selling popcorn chicken in Sawtelle, I would say this is perhaps one of the better ones because the chicken 🐔 were juicy and crispy! Seasoning was also on point! Thus, making this also a good appetizer to start your meal! Mini Pumpkin Pie (10/10): If you want something sweet and chewy, let this dish satisfy your cravings! I have come here thrice and never once have I gone without ordering this dish! Overall, I really enjoy this noodle soup restaurant and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to take a break from Japanese ramen 🍜, it'll be worth it! TIPS: if you like spice 🌶️ and would love more flavor on your food, then add the chopped chili provided on your table (I added the picture on this post for reference)!

This place is so good and the staff is so friendly! I ordered the crystal noodles with beef sauce and then we shared the wood ear mushrooms and mini pumpkins pies, which were all tasty. HIGHLY recommend the sea buckthorn juice and plum juice! We went on a Sunday night and there was no wait.
