1919 Noodle Express - Monterey Park, California

Great spot for noodles! They are Lanzhou style with 7 different varieties to choose from! This restaurant is located in Atlantic Times Square. There is underground parking that can be accessed on Atlantic or Hellman. If entering from Atlantic, take the upstairs ramp. The restaurant is very close to AMC. (You can park downstairs, but you will need to find the stairs to walk up.)

I do like the N2 braised beef noodle soup, N5 lamb noodle soup, and N4 spicy beef noodle soup. I love the flat noodles! I tried the beef rolls $12.99, but it's such a small portion. The ones at 101 Noodle Express are better (and they have a good green sauce too).

Service is good.

Credit card/Apple Pay accepted. Bathroom is available in the back.

The noodles they serve up are pretty generous, no denying that. But gotta say, feeling a bit let down by the skimpy meat portion. On a happier note though, the soup packs a real punch in the flavor department!

I used to like this place! But last time I came here, service was still great, and while the noodles to broth ratio was OK, but the ratio of to meat was severely lacking. What used to be a whole slice was cut in half, plus, you finish the meat WELL before you even finish the noodles or broth. So while they kept prices low, you have to account for the extra $2+ you need to pay for extra meat, and even then, I'm not sure they'd give enough.

You can choose the hardness/softness, and the thickness of the noodles, all sorts of choices. The broth was really good. Proportions of meat to noodles was great!
And their dumplings were nice! Not puffy, and filled with air. Packed with goodness in every bite!

I love comfort food. And they offered that but there just wasn't enough flavor in the soup. I don't mind light broth. But their both yesterday night was like water and salt. Noodle texture were great.

$14.99 Pickled Cabbage Beef Noodle Soup
$15.99 Chef Special Spicy Beef Noodle Soup
$7.99 Spicy Chicken Gizzards
$5.99 Hot and Sour Sliced Kelp

I'd go back if looking for somewhat later night clean broth. But overall, I'm a bit disappointed. Maybe I'm too picky or it was an off day.

My favorite place to get mala noodles from. Strong mala taste and fresh noodles. The pig ears are also a good recommendation here. I tasted the broth from a few other noodle soups and they were good as well. The only feedback I have is that the tables could be cleaned better.

Cozy atmosphere, absolutely delicious food. The house beef noodles were the best noodles I have ever tasted. The serving was enough for 3 and cost only $13. The noodles were very long and hard to eat, though. There could've been a little more beef, though.

Choose from 7 different types of hand pulled noodles in soup or dry form. Potato salad and beef dumplings were great!

Great quiet store for a quick lunch at 3pm after lunch hour rush. The potato salad, dumplings and beef noodles were all great. Ordered kelps but now I know kelps is not my favourite, no fault of 1919 though 😂
