Spicy Noodle is Not

Oct11

Location: 3314 S Bristol St, Santa Ana, CA 92704. Phone number (714) 957-2818

I finished a meeting down in Santa Ana and googled to find some food. This Chinese place came up on Yelp as 4.5 stars and was named Spicy Noodle House…

Standard minimall.

I knew looking inside that I was in for it and I even wandered around the mall to see if there was anything better, but this being Santa Ana there was nothing so I buckled down.

Kung Pao Shrimp. I ate out the shrimp and left all those bell peppers. It wasn’t even hot. The rice was worse than Panda Express rice.

House made pan-fried dumplings. These were better. Not good or anything, but tolerable.

Ick. So not worth it. Not worth the MSG, the carbs. I’ve become very spoiled with regard to Chinese. How can this get a 4.5 on Yelp?
