What People Are Saying About Noodle Planet
The Editor

Families flock to this casual pan-Asian diner where diligent waitstaff take orders and navigate around a plethora of pleather booths and tables. As the restaurant's name suggests, the extensive menu features numerous noodle dishes--and hefty portions--from Thailand, Japan, China, Cambodia and Vietnam. Popular selections include pad thai noodles, pho noodle soup, crispy chow mein noodles and tom kha gai, a hot and sweet soup made with coconut milk, lemongrass, mushroooms and chicken.

I love Noodle Planet and will always love Noodle Planet. They have Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese and more... all kinds of noodle dishes, friend rice and much more. Staff is friendly and service is very good. Just wish they would accept credit cards (even if they charged 3%-5% more as an option for customers). Very casual atmosphere so not known for ambiance but a cool, casual, fun place to go with friends. Strongly recommend.

It's located in the heart of Westwood and I'm sure everyone who goes to UCLA has eaten here before. The selection of noodles is ridiculous and what is more ridiculous is I haven't had anything bad there before really. It's not necessarily amazing food, but it's good and prices are great for the huge portions.

This is one of my favorite, cheap, late-night eateries. They feature a wide range of tasty noodle dishes, including huge bowls of Asian-style soups (wonton, udon, pho, ramen, tom yum, etc.) for dirt-cheap prices. They also have delicious soupless noodle dishes such as spicy yakisoba. The only drawback is that their beef is tough and full of gristle, avoid ordering anything with beef. However, their chicken and fish are just fine. Don't forget to bring cash, as they don't take credit cards. I also recommend ordering a drink from Boba World (next door but part of the same restaurant) -- I'm a huge fan of their Calpico yogurt smoothies.
