"This is a much larger venue than it looks from the outside. They have a large patio area, a separate bar area and even a separate area for groups. I was greeted immediately upon arriving and sat quickly. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I ordered the mixed vegetable noodles with duck. This came in a large bowl and they didn't skimp on any item. I, unfortunately, wasn't able to finish it. It could easily be shared. There are other items on the menu I want to try so I'll be back."
"my boyfriend and i went to this lovely ramen place as part of our 6th month anniversary!!! we ordered the chicken gyoza and we agreed it was splendid, perfectly cooked, very well-seasoned, and not too salty :). I ordered the shoyu (soy sauce) ramen . the broth was incredibly flavorful and their noodles are so good and filling. my boyfriend ordered the tonkatsu (pork) ramen. he said the meat was very tender and it was savory. we both 1000% recommend this place for some yummy ramen and gyozas. the ambiance is calm and the restaurant has a cute Japanese decor and a chalk drawing of One Piece!!! (and a lot other anime characters :D). love it here."

"We learned about this new location opening up on social media and we're so excited about it. We absolutely love the food & the staff are so sweet! The vibe of the location was also very welcoming which I love. It's absolutely worth waiting in line for!!!!"
"The customer service was great The food was super good We moved from la so we been missing some Korean bbq and don't feel like driving all the way there so I'm glad this place is near us it deff hit the craving part for us The beef belly is my favorite Will be coming back"
"I'm all about finding healthy food options on the go and I am so happy I found this place! The serving sizes are great, the food is fresh and healthy, and you wont spend any more than you would at a cheaper fast food drive thru! I appreciate the calories being clearly listed on the menu so you don't have to guess how many you are consuming. I haven't eaten in the restaurant physically, but I have ordered the food for pick up and delivery and they have gotten my order right every time! My only complaint is how little shrimp you get when you order shrimp as your protein."
"Great Chinese food! This was my go-to spot when I was younger. They've been in business for 37 years. Their lunch special is my favorite and still so reasonably priced at $11.95 for entree, soup, egg roll, fried wonton and bbq pork fried rice (lunch M-Sat 11-3). open till 9:30pm."
"Restaurant was empty last night when we arrived. Sat ourselves. Waitress came around and asked how she can help us and we said we'd like to eat dinner. She seemed like she was in a hurry. She seemed so rush that I checked the closing time, thinking maybe we got there right before closing. They didn't close for over another hour so that was not the reason. The restaurant was also freezing!!! It was close to temperatures outside. Anyway, we ordered. Food was delicious as always. Hot and full of flavor. We get the Pork Tonkotsu ramen with chicken , Egg and garlic. This time we also got the Gyoza. It was fresh and delicious!!Great food!! But staff could be friendlier. Remember, you wouldn't have a business without customers. I'm giving 3 stars because of service but food is a 5!"
"I was craving Thai food and decided to give this place a shot as I'd never been, and had seen great reviews. I'm going to be honest I left this place knowing I wouldn't be back. The service is super friendly so 10/10 for that, but the food was over priced for the quality of food, and not something I'd have again. The spring roll had a piece of chicken in each one measuring the size of my pinky finger. It might as well have been a veggie spring roll. I only ate half of a spring roll I didn't care for the sauce it was served with it. The dish lacked major flavor. The first bite I took of my noodles was not bad, but as I kept eating all I could taste was oil. Will just say I left most of the food behind and ended up feeling a little sick."
"I wish I had the names of the employees to rung me up and took my order. They were both kind and helpful. We had a great time laughing and talking as well. I definitely needed something warm or hot and it hit the spot.The tofu steak is pretty crunchy. This might be a turn off to some so if you want it a little softer let them know and I'm sure they'll make the adjustment.I got the Tonkatsu black Ramen. It's listed as one of their spicy dishes. If that's not enough, you can ask for whatever chili they use on the side or order the soup extra spicy. It will have a pretty good kick in the back of your throat just the way it is but for those of you who crave the fire!!, have at it.I finally got the names of my servers, so thank you Isabel and Heidi. They both made recommendations as to what their personal favorites were, and came and checked on me while I was eating to make sure I was good."
"Their food is excellent one of our go to spots. Only disappointment I had was our Pad se eew was sparse on the noodles. We were told at the end of the course they were out of those noodles after our dish. Basically our dish looked like half of an order compared to what other pictures show of the same dish from others. All in all this place is really great maybe should have received a half order price rather than full price."
"It's difficult to find sushi in arvin but this place does a good job offering different sushi options with a Mexican twist. The restaurant is super clean, and staff is friendly. I asked to order a vegetable w/ avocado roll (without any seafood/fish) and they were super sweet and made one. We ordered to go and they added spoon/fork/napkin individually wrapped. The chile and grilled onions were a plus to this meal and added a slight of spiciness."
"I love Pokerito, the food is always always fresh. For my experience. I had one bad experience but that was through Doordash, and they corrected it right away. They're always super polite and nice. It's kinda dark but with the heat right now ,it's still pretty pleasant. I got my boyfriend into them."

Our family has been coming to the Noodle Bar for years. My husband was wanting some drunken noodle and I wanted to try their happy hour food and drinks. All our food came and quickly and was fresh. Everything was very good but the star was their vodka wings. I also had a lemon drop martini that was great. Bonus with the Noodle Bar is that happy hour is everyday.

The atmosphere can use some music. I had a pork ramen, it was good but nothing stood out, I've had better. The best thing was the service, but my fiancé and I were the only ones in the restaurant.

The food lacked flavor. Sweet and sour pork meal. server might as well worked for the DMV. The 2of us were the only ones there on a Tuesday during lunch. I don't have to go back. I should have saved my appetite for tacos.

First time trying this place. The garlic rice was amazing. 10/10. The ramen, was a whole different story. I did not care for it. It grossed me out and I couldn't eat more than 4 bites. Very disappointing. Glad I finally tried this place but probably won't be back.

I ordered the pad Thai, spring rolls, and yellow curry. The pad Thai was good but could do with a bit more flavor. The spring rolls were good but it was mostly a giant veggie roll with a tiny amount of protein. The yellow curry was inedible for me. The entire top centimeter was just oil, and no matter how much I stirred I couldn't get it to mix. I did try it, but all I could really taste was oil and ended up tossing it in the trash.

"Ok. This is the honest truth about it. This place is hole in the wall. I would NEVER give this place a 4 star BUT the kitchen is serious and that's where they invest the talent. It has good food and that's what you'll get. Leave the rest of your expectations at the door and you'll have a nice evening. No crying over not being greeted at the door, not having the greatest waitress of all time and the greatest atmosphere. I mean, look at the pictures! That's it. 4 stars because of amazingly delicious food folks! If the service was 4 stars service it would have been 5. I wanted to give them five stars so bad but I just couldn't. And last but not least, the pepper oil is hot! If you mess with it don't use over a tsp or so. You've been warned!"
"Great for the price and convenience. We order take out here 2X a month. Don't forget the Gyoza... it's delicious.Dynamite roll is great too."
"This is a total hole in the wall type of restaurant. But the food is absolutely amazing. My husband got the fried chicken and was in love with it.Service leaves a little bit to be desired, and the restaurant doesn't feel incredibly clean. However, for takeout I think it's awesome."
"Came here for a quick bite on Memorial Day. It was busy, but Karen greeted us right away and was very friendly. They were busy, but she was very efficient and courteous in helping us. We always enjoy the food and service here."
"Love the egg rolls from here, and the kalbi beef was a stand out dish for sure. U don't personally like speing rolls, but my husband loved them. Very crisp and refreshing."
"My husband and I were starving a few days ago, and after so many bad experiences with Panda Express, we decided to try out Panda Wok. I remembered in the past, the food wasn't very good so I was mentally preparing myself lol But I was oh, so mistaken! I ordered the General chicken (which it said was new on the menu), beef broccoli and noodles, while my husband also got the beef broccoli and orange chicken. All the food tasted so fresh and so good! The General chicken has the perfect amount of sweet and spicy, the broccoli was so fresh that I bit into it, it had that little crunch. The orange chicken was very good, although I preferred the General chicken. Service was fast, and food was cheap. Please keep up the good work, good Chinese food is hard to find on the east side."
"This place is a hidden gem! If you love amazing Korean barbecue and delicious kimchi, you have to try it. You can choose from chicken, pork, or beef--I went with the beef, and it was so good! The sweetest little old lady runs the place, and she's so kind. I was camping at Red Rock State Park, about 30 minutes away, and found it by chance. Now, I plan my camping trips just so I can come back here. It's that good! If you're near Ridgecrest, you have to check this place out. It's a must!"
"Yall I got the privilege to try this place before it officially opens on Friday and oh my goodness this place is going to be a new Visalia favorite! I got the spicy chicken teriyaki bowl with white rice and I wish I had a pic to show you but I devoured it the moment it was in my hands. The meat was juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned, the sauce was sweet and salty, a great addition to the white rice and sautéed veggies. Service was excellent and efficient. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu !!!"
"Back at it because I can never get enough of my Steve's special. Here with the kids and we enjoyed our food. Huge shoutout to Maui Pho for always being consistent and yummy!"
"Portions are great & the food is always hot & fresh!! And they have chili OIL!!!! And they are not stingy with it either they are always super nice on the phone and in person."
"My sister found this place by accident while pouring gas. It's located within the same premises of AM PM gas station on 10th west and ave N. She told us about the chicken bowl and my parents and I immediately went to search for this little hidden gem. Service was great! I don't know her name but she was very sweet and helpful, ranged up my order. We ordered the teriyaki chicken bowl with brown rice and veggies. The chicken is very well potion with the rice and veggies. Chicken was so tender and delicious! The brown rice is tender not hard or tough to eat. Sometime brown rice can be challenging to eat. I really enjoyed this bowl. It's delicious and I definitely recommend!"
"Brown rice, half & half chicken and beef, veggies, and onions, magic sauce and hot sauce. That is what I always get at this place. Customer service is always top notch, place is always fairly clean, trash can is NOT over flowing, easy parking. Next time I will try their soy meat bowl."
"Visited on Customer Appreciation Day with my kids. We received two complimentary chicken bowls and cookie. I also ordered potstickers as a side. The cashier was very friendly! The food was prepared promptly! Now onto the food! The chicken tasted absolutely delicious! Very soft and juicy! The rice was cooked perfectly and I loved the waba sauce on top! The potstickers were VERY delicious and I dipped them with Boom Boom sauce and it was so good! Will definitely be returning to try other menu items! Thank you for the generous offer on Customer Appreciation Day!"
"Great service and great food! Our server was very hospitable and friendly. We had about 12 people at the table but she treated each of us with kindness and gave great suggestions on food. The sushi was good and I enjoyed the Thai basil chicken. The drink selection was great. I don't live in the area but I would certainly be a regular if I did. The entry way was really pretty and the bathrooms and table were very clean and well maintained."
"It's my first time coming to this place, and I was not disappointed. I wanted a lil snack so I got the pan fried egg foo young, it came with 3 for $10.95 and they did NOT skip out on the sauce! Very tasty dish! The service was great too I will be coming back to try out the rest of the menu!"
"There is a parking garage 1/2 block south. It is on the corner of Eye & 19th street. Lots of seating both inside and outside. I was seated quickly and my waitress came over right away to take my drink order. I started with the garlic edamame and the mixed veggie and shrimp tempura. Loved the big chunks of garlic in the edamame. The coating on the tempura is a bit thick for my taste, though a good variety. They have a fairly extensive menu, which was nice. I then ordered two rolls, the rainbow roll and the Pinky Funky. Both were loaded with fish. The sauce on the Pinky is really good. More of that please. I will definitely contribute back."
"Just went back with my & this restaurant Hits the spot EVERY TIME!!Thai Tea is Great, but NO half & Half next time i love the strength of the tea!"
"First time here. Came with a group and sat by the big front window. It started to drizzle sideways rain as we ate, adding to the atmosphere of the restaurant. I mean that in a good way. I had the teriyaki salmon bento box which came with miso soup (not pictured but delicious) and I was pleasantly surprised at how big the portion size was. Ate some spicy garlic edamame from a friends plate and it was scrumptious, just like every bite of my lunch. It was served up steaming hot and I greatly appreciated that as well. Excellent prices, too. Service was quick and friendly. Our waitress had the memory of an elephant. All in all, lovely experience. Will definitely return & highly recommended."
