Nothing else I can say but I wish I knew this place sooner. The food is DELICIOUS!!! the beef tendon, the meat, the pork feet, cooked and taste so on point I wanted to eat it twice. Gotta thank my friend for recommending bringing me to this restaurant. I heard that their sausage is completely made in house and let me tell you this sausage taste better than the specialists that make sausages for a living in Taiwan !! This should be a must go place for beef noodle soup! Forgot to mention their mochi, just try it you will love it 😜

Came in because of an Eater review, and was very pleased with the food. We got the beef noodle soup with tendon, the broth was flavorful, the noodles chewy and bouncy, and the tendon was tender and cooked to perfection.

We also got the wonton soup with big, beautifully flavorful wontons. Can’t wait to come back!

Gotta try the beef noodle soup. We had the half beef and half tendon. They give u plenty of meat. The broth was not super salty, just the right amount of flavor.

We also order the Fried Pork rice. The dish came with one bowl amount of rice which is enough, And again alot of meat. Not thin either. I just didn't like they stir fried the veggie with dried shrimp. Also some pickled radish.

Been a while since I went back to Corner Beef Noodle House. They do have one of the best Taiwanese Beef Stew Noodle with generous portion of beef. The noodle is very chewy, great broth, however, I would prefer to be a little more spicier. I also ordered the Signature XO Sauce Noodle, single portion of Popcorn Chicken & Fried Red Pork, and for dessert, their Hot Mochi, consist of Peanut & Black Sesame. The popcorn chicken and fried pork are way too thick, but they still taste delicious. My wife, son and I love the mochi, big portion with lots of peanuts and black sesame, reminded me of a similar snack from Asia. As of now, the restaurant offers only take out, no dine in. And most importantly, CASH only.

This is a local Taiwanese restaurant that specializes in beef noodles, priced around $20 per serving. They only accept cash payments, but you can use Venmo or Zelle to pay. The beef soup noodles are served with four large pieces of tender and flavorful beef. The soup base is made with soy sauce and bean paste, resulting in a rich and savory flavor. This restaurant is known for having some of the best beef soup noodles in the greater LA area. Additionally, their Mochi dessert is highly recommended, with a great texture and portion size. However, their Ai-Yu dessert was disappointing, lacking the expected flavor and being overwhelmed by a strong honey taste. The side dishes are priced at around $13, but are not worth the expense. The parking situation is a bit difficult, with compact and limited parking spaces.

Cash only place. Great noodles, lots of meat, and there was pickeled mustard greens. However the broth was odd. We all felt that it was too sweet and didn't have enough beef flavor.

The fried chicken was amazing. Big chunks, really crunchy with lots of flavor. The boiled pork head meat was ok. The included sauce would have been sweet and salty enough if the meat was less sweet and spicy.

Overalls solid, but imo a little overrated.

Although their pretty much famous for their beef noodle soup, I mainly come here for the popcorn chicken. The chicken itself has enough flavor that permeates the entirety and that they are big and juicy.

Another thing I enjoy coming for is the tea pig skin and the dipping sauce they have paired with it. It's just a good way to break up the flavors of the other foods when eating in between bites.

Best beef noodle house you can find in SoCal, period. Portion is unbelievably HUGE considering an Asian stomach lol. The broth is super flavorful and beefy. The beef and tendon are thick cuts but incredibly tender, especially the tendon - it was like chewing some sort of jelly! Noodles got the perfect chewiness and they don't get soggy sitting in the soup.
The warm, freshly homemade mochi has got a lot of aroma from the black sesame and peanuts, but I personally prefer the sesame one better.
Their Taiwanese sausage served with slivered garlic was also on point. It's got the slight taste of rice liquor and sweetness.
Will definitely revisit but be sure to share with friends cuz the portion is overwhelming....
