Tasty Noodle House – Sawtelle
7.7
A reliable Shanghai-style noodle and dumpling stop where speed and comfort come first. Soup dumplings and pan-fried buns are the move, backed by hearty noodle bowls that hit the spot on cooler nights. The room is simple and busy, leaning more utilitarian than atmospheric.
