CLOSED: Soft opening for Kirin Noodle House as of July 2024. RIP, He's Noodle Zone. Loved coming to He's Noodle Zone for their authentic beef noodle soups and interesting appetizers and unique menu. I will miss the friendly service, authentic flavors, and casual ambiance at He's Noodle Zone. Hopefully, Kirin Noodle House will have delicious offerings as well!

We only came here because boiling point had a line out the for right at opening but it did not disappoint. All the items we got were really good, I especially loved the matsutake noodles, the broth felt very herbal and healthy, and I loved all the mushrooms and juicy chicken that came with it. Crispy pork was super good, especially dipped in the side of sichuan powder(?), and the spicy wontons were also good. The sauce had a nice kick and the wontons themselves were nice and flavorful as well. Our waitress was very nice, at first there wasn't really anyone there but as lunch time approached the customers started filing in and it soon got pretty crowded so it's nice to know this place is well-loved by the locals

Solid spot for Dan Dan Noodles! The best part is that they have free noodle refills! Dan Dan Noodles are available spicy and non-spicy. I can't handle a lot of spice an ordered non-spicy but wound up using the chili oil on top of the table because they weren't spicy enough. The spicy version was a little too spicy but I found out later that you can order it less spicy which would be perfect for me! They also have other noodles and appetizers available. You access their menu via QR code and order online. A complimentary small dish of pickled cucumbers was included. Unlike Sup Noodle Bar which is located in the same plaza, you won't have to wait a long time for your table nor have difficulty trying to flag down your server to try to get a refill on your noodles. It's a shame this place isn't busier (though easier for me to get a table)! Plenty of parking available in the lot.

I always go here when I'm craving some Dan Dan Noodles in Irvine! This is one of the smaller restaurants located in Heritage Plaza, but the great thing about this place is you get seated immediately and they have quick service. For ordering, you scan a QR code and order online. First time I've done this while dining in, and I think it's very convenient. I usually get the Dan Dan Noodles with Less Spicy. Perfect spice level for those who don't have a high spice tolerance like me! They also have free noodle refills but I usually get too full to get a refill hahaha. Overall, I've loved my experience here every time and will be coming here again!!

He's Noodle Zone is my absolute favorite spot for beef noodle in all of Southern California!! This place outbeats any spot in the 626 area and they need to open one up in the Bay ASAP!! Like most people in the plaza, I normally go to Sup Noodle Bar but one day I decided to give He's Noodle a shot since I heard such good things and saw that they also have 'endless' noodle refills. That was probably the greatest decision in my life and boy I have not been back to that Sup Noodle Bar location since. No hate against Sup Noodle Bar but their wait times are outrageous at any time of the day. Don't get me wrong, I would be at Sup Noodle every week if there was no wait but every time I've been to He's Noodle Zone, there has been none. Although I'm not complaining, it's sad to see how such a great place with great service and amazing food can be over shadowed. I know they did open somewhat recently so I have hope that they will get the attention that they deserve. Their broth is soooo good and their meat is extremely tender. Their noodles are cooked perfectly and taste so fresh every time you order a refill. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu and if there's any restaurant in Irvine you should check out, this spot would be in my top 3!

I LOVE NOODLES and this place definitely satisfied my cravings!! 'dan dan noodles': there was a generous amount of different toppings, including the minced pork. LOVED the noodle texture and thought they were perfectly chewy! was pleasantly surprised to find out that they offer free noodle refills too!! also i was still able to fully enjoy this dish with regular spice level, it honestly wasn't that spicy! 'sichuan hot and spicy dumplings': the wontons were flavorful and I really enjoyed the broth as well, it was slightly sweet and there was that numbing sichuan spice, but it was not overwhelming at all! when dining in, you order thru the QR code at the table and they bring the food to you! service was quick and staff was nice. overall, everything was really good and I can't wait to come back to try their other noodle dishes!

Food: 9/10 Service: 9/10 Ambiance: 8/10 Definitely a must try if you're in Irvine! The food here is definitely full of flavor. They use a lot of spices that just work together really well with their perfectly cooked noodles. The Sichuan Braised Beef (spicy) is not too spicy and it's REALLY good. You have to give their Chongqing Small Noodles (spicy) a try as well! Ask for extra noodles if you have room and want more, it's unlimited. Lastly, don't ask, just order the Peach Coconut Jelly dessert and thank me later!

Dan Dan noodles 10/10 very flavorful and the noodles were the perfect amount of chewiness. paired well with the fried egg Beef noodles 9/10 also very good and flavorful but I definitely preferred the dan dan noodles Service was also quick and staff were friendly

Yummy! Randomly yelped this place because we were close by and was craving dan dan noodles. It's located in the Mitsuwa/EMC seafood plaza, near the Mitsuwa. Parking is what it is in this plaza, but there are always spots behind the building if the parking lot gets too crazy. Food was pretty good and great portions! Loved the dan dan noodles, the regular spicy level is perfect, and they also offer a non spicy option. Hubs also enjoyed his tomato beef noodles. Menus are via QR code, and you order via their online system as well. Food comes out pretty quickly and service is fast. When we came, the AC was on pretty high so we were pretty cold, lol. There was also no music playing, and we were the only ones in the restaurant (at first) so it was eerily quiet for a bit until more diners came in. Anyhoo, would def come back!
