Best Taiwanese beef noodle in SGV! The braised meat and tendon is perfect. The tendon is flavorful. The meat is always cooked perfectly. The boiled dumplings are really good. Do not mistake this shop for the Lanzhou beef noodle next door, the broth at Xiang Ji hands down is a lot better. Remember to go to the counter near the door for chili sauce. Service is great.

Love the beef stew noodles here! Piping hot soup with big chunks of beef, delicious. If you are a big fan of garlic make sure you get the braised seaweeds knots and cucumbers, super yummy but no kissing your SO until tomorrow... yes they are that garlicky. If stinky tofu is your thing you should definitely try it, very different than the fried ones you usually see at Taiwanese restaurants. We ordered it because of the table next to us was eating it, the stinky tofu smell so bad we just had to try it haha. Pro tip: can call and order ahead of time so by the time you arrive at restaurant the food is ready for you. The owner and the servers are all very nice, they will go over the menu to you and make recommendations based on what you like, 5 star experience every time!

I'm a big fan of Beef Noodle Soup. I came here for the first time the other day to try theirs. Asked for the most popular item on the menu and was told a spicy beef noodle. It was good. However, the meat included parts generally not consumed by most here in the States. My mistake for ordering what I did. Otherwise, I enjoyed the place.

I've ordered their dumplings, beef noodle soup, and mixed cold appetizer and they were all very good. If you have a low spice tolerance like me (right now at least), watch out because the spicy beef noodle soup is spicy, haha! I was still able to eat it by dipping the noodles in the soup rather than eating it with soup. Service is great! They're friendly and understand both English and Chinese. It's a bit easier to point at the pictures and order by numbers and reference the name as well (the old menu has different reference numbers). Ambiance: the store has fluorescent lighting, which is bright. Although cold, it reminds me of my trips to Taiwan for some reason, which is a bonus. I also like their frozen dumplings! You can boil them yourself at home and they taste great. It seems pricey, but you get a lot, and they last forever in the freezer.

Beef noodle soup (tendon and tripe) was tried--spicier than I prefer although I'd agree it has a good taste. It's totally a throwback ambience, no frills operation where you can get your Taiwanese food fill. Also tried the flat noodles, came al dente (nice) but preferred the original noodles.

I had a pretty high expectation for this place. Hoped the beef noodle soup would be as good as places in Taiwan, but still not comparable. The noodle and broth was pretty average. Beef was a bit too hard and dry. The A choy was good! Generous portion for the price. Might come back and try other things if I happen to pass by, but def won't be getting the beef noodle soup again.

This small restaurant used to be Apt Li Xiang (owned by a Taiwanese actor Hsin Shao), but now this restaurant is independently owned and is still serving Taiwanese-style beef noodle soup and dumplings. [Parking]: Easy free plaza parking. [Amenities]: One person was doing both cashier and server jobs. There's a QR code to scan for the electronic menu, but physical and laminated menus are also available. Condiment station is located near the front entrance and customers will find vinegar, sesame oil, chili sauce, and special chili oil. [Menu]: Option #1 to #9 are some variation of braised beef noodle soup. Yes there's even braised beef noodle soup ... with no meat (#9). Just a note - the standard beef noodle soup is actually #8 as standard meat for beef noodle = beef shank. Personally my typical beef noodle soup option is half tendon and half meat (#4). In addition their dumplings are also pretty popular and our server recommended green chive + shrimp + pork dumplings (#17). *** #17 Green Chive, Shrimp & Pork Dumplings (10 pieces for $12.99): These steamed dumplings tasted surprisingly solid. #4 Braised Half Tendon Half Meat Beef Noodle (beef shank and tendon): Savory broth and both tendon/meat tasted great. Everything about this bowl tasted just right. *** While the overall dining atmosphere and service felt pretty standard like a typical noodle house in the SGV (San Gabriel Valley), there's no question Xiang Ji Arcadia has one of the best beef noodle soups in the SGV when it comes to a balanced flavor profile for broth (Corner Beef Noodle House in El Monte = generous meat portion but greasier broth & Mr Dragon Noodle House = stingy on meat portion but savory broth just like Xiang Ji Arcadia's).

Looking for some good Taiwanese food in SGV. Decided to try this one out because of all the positive reviews here. First, the most important part, the name of the restaurant is not "Apt Li Xiang La" anymore. It is now called Xiang Ji beef noodle. The Chinese name stayed the same (that's how I found it). I will post their outside picture so everyone can see it. The food is pretty authentic and good. We tried the beef noodle (#1, with three different types, the meat, tendon and honeycomb stripe). The soup base is good, meat is tender. The noodle is a bit soft for my taste (I love hard, chewy hard of noodle). But overall the taste is good The cold dish, we tried the combination and also the pig intestine. The intestine is a decent surprise as they cooked it really tasty and well. It's not easy to find a place that serve this dish any more. The combination is decent. We also tried the dumping, chive shrimp and pork kind. Dumpling skin in great, not too thick, and the fillings is tasty. Overall a very decent experience. I wish that they will have some rice dish on the menu though.

Are you craving some Taiwanese beef noodle soup? I have to say this place in Arcadia seems like a hidden spot of yumminess. The inside isn't that big but the lady that mans the station can do it all. She seems to be super friendly and honestly, her food sells it all. I wish I lived closer to this so I could have this weekly. That is how much I loved their soup broth. The beef and meat inside the bowl were also very juicy not dry at all. The noodles are made to order, so when you do come here order the way you would like them to prepare the noodles. If you like them soft, ask for the noodles to be soft, if you like them to be harder ask them to do that. I prefer my noodles to be a little bit on the harder side. It does make you feel like you are in Taiwan after our spread of what we had ordered. For just two girls we ordered a grip! We were starving and missing some food from Taiwan. Don't forget to order some cold dishes they are very unique.
