Noodology

Perfect Taiwanese comfort food! I enjoyed EVERYTHING I ordered from here!The fresh milk tea was so refreshing! I recommend getting an extra cup of ice since they make it fresh so it's warm still. The service was very efficient and I saw that you can even order ahead and have it ready for you as soon as you come in to sit and eat.The dishes were very flavorful without being over powering. The spicy beef had a light numbing effect and the cilantro and peanuts were a great additionThe tomato beef noodle soup hit the spot! Nice bounce and chew to noodles which is always satisfying.The brown sugar rice cakes were perfectly lightly crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside and soaked up the syrup well.Everything cooked perfectlyLike and old auntie/uncle cooked it from home.Follow on ig @rachiesayang for more

The food is REALLY good and spicy. Been here twice and it's essentially Sichuan because my mouth is numb (not all dishes, I just choose dishes that are spicy).Service is spotty... if you are seated in the back area like I was the first time, they didn't come by at all. (You order off a QR-code and then send the order online.) The second time, we sat right by the cashier so we got water refills much more and checked in on. Otherwise, small family business restaurant. Located in a small plaza with decent parking.

Noodology specializes in.. you guessed it, noodles! This spot is particularly known for having noodles from different provinces in China. Their noodle soups are rich, flavorful, and super comforting. They also have some amazing spicy dishes like their Chengdu dumplings and their newest item, spicy beef with peanut which was super addicting! The restaurant itself is pretty spacious with inside and outside seating. You order through a QR code on the table and the friendly staff brings out the food for you.

It's been a minute since my last visit but Noodology's menu selections are as yummy as I remembered. The Cold Pig Ears and Zhajiang Noodle with rice noodle (egg noodle is also an option) are still my faves. Even though there are other dining options in this plaza, the restaurant is still plenty busy during the lunch hour. There were two servers on shift, but neither was particularly friendly or attentive. That seems to be status quo at Chinese restaurants...would you agree?

Food is good and the service is fast. Especially like the pig ears in chili oil. Would recommend

I've had Noodology for takeout a few times during covid and came back after a long hiatus. It was one of my first times dining in and there were a few people inside so we were seated right away. The noodle dishes were just as good as I remember - spicy, flavorful, and filling! I love that some of the noodle dishes have roasted peanuts as a topping because it just elevates your meal, but the one I ordered had some sort of lentils instead which look almost identical to the peanuts but don't really taste like anything. I got the #13 Chengdu Hot Pot Beef Rice Noodle which was delicious but also very spicy and numbing. I had to take a few breaks eating it because of the spice but I still enjoyed it!I love rice noodle dishes and this place does not disappoint. We also ordered their spicy dumplings which could've had more chili oil, and we had to ask the server to bring us vinegar. Overall this is a solid noodle spot in Irvine!

As the sun went down, the weather turned chilly. The decor was unique and the food tasted very authentic. My mom ordered the signature beef brisket noodle soup, and the brisket was so tender and flavorful. I ordered the golden soup beef noodle soup. We also ordered a cold beef salad, which was delicious. Overall, we were very satisfied with our meal, and we'll definitely be back.

When you see chicken feet on the steam table, you know the restaurant's going to be legit!I called in my takeout order and it was sitting ready on the rack at the given time. I had ordered the Mixed with the Minced Pork Noodles and the Chengdu Zajiang Noodles (each $12.99). You have a choice of either egg or rice noodles. Portions were pretty generous for the price. Both said they were little spicy. The Zajiang noodles were just the tiniest bit spicy with a slight numbing from the peppercorns. The minced pork noodles were more spicy. They were delicious.Food is probably more like a 4 but giving it a 4 because it was a good value.Parking in the lot.

Have been going here for years. Authentic taste, great portions, reasonable price. The spicy sour soup is mouthwatering and the dumplings have a very savoury filling.

Food was very good! All the dishes we tried were delicious. Service was amazing as well!
