Vibe: Challenging ambiance amidst chowtime.

While clean and generally pleasing, the vibe at Dong Ting Noodle tends to get loud. This ordinariness may disrupt the ambiance and certainly detracts from an intimate date night experience implying the place may be better suited for a casual dining experience rather than a romantic one.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Place is a bit loud, disrupting the otherwise clean ambiance.

Perks: Exemplary service, questionable tranquility.

Prompt and friendly service is the high note in an otherwise moderate setting. Parking can be frustrating and costly, though, especially near UCLA, and the noise level isn't particularly conducive to quiet conversations. Still, the service staff will ensure you have a satisfying and unfrazzled dining experience.

  • Great Service

    Prompt and friendly service noted across multiple enthusiastic reviews.

  • Hard To Park

    Expensive parking, especially near UCLA, costs over $20.
