Excellent place for dumplings and noodles. Three of us went there for dinner and had the pork and shrimp fried dumplings, the beef roll, the pork and pickled vegetables noodle soup, and the stir fried vegetables. They were all delicious and very reasonably priced. We highly recommend this place for tasty food.

I used to go to the 101 Noodle Express in Atlantic Square all the time, but it closed. Then with COVID, I hadn’t been back to this restaurant in years. Today, while shopping at 168 Market, I spotted it again and decided to give it another visit.
Pulling into the parking lot, it was a little tricky to figure out the spaces since the lines were faded and it was dark. But since the restaurant was empty and there weren’t any cars around, I figured it didn’t matter much–so I just parked.
I ordered my go-to favorites: Shandong chicken and onion pancakes. I noticed right away that the price of the onion pancakes has doubled since my last visit. They used to be about $4.50, and now they’re over $10–OMG, inflation really hit hard these last 6-7 years! The Shandong chicken, though, was only around $12 back then and now is about $15, so that one didn’t increase as much. Taste-wise, it was just like the good old days. I really love the sauce in the Shandong chicken–it pairs perfectly with the cucumber. The onion pancakes were still good, but honestly, I think they’re overpriced now.
Service was good, probably helped by the fact that I was the only customer at the time.
When it came time to pay, the waitress asked me to pay in cash, but I didn’t have enough with me. She reluctantly accepted my credit card. I’m guessing it has to do with how tips are shared when customers pay by card versus cash. Oh well–next time, I’ll try to bring cash!

We ate here 12-24-24 for lunch and got so sick for over 72 hours after eating lamb noodle soup, pickled mustard greens (side dish), and beef rolls. Coughing and throwing up everything daily, diarrhea, body chills, fever, can’t eat or drink. All tasted good but we are never coming back. The lamb soup smelled funny but we didn’t think anything. This is the only food we ate and we never got sick from food for decades. Be careful of stale lamb or beef meat, or cooks and wait staff handling food who are not hygienic after bathroom use. Hard to know how we got so sick. The bathroom is dirty. Several reviews mention this. It’s difficult to know if it’s the staff and not washing hands or stale food or contaminated food. Cash or Venmo only.

My boyfriend and I came for dinner on a Friday night. We ordered beef rolls, pork pan fried dumplings, and beef & beef tendon noodle soup (with hand-torn noodle). Everything was delicious. I love getting their beef rolls whenever I come here and they don’t disappoint. The beef rolls are crunchy on the side with the right amount of beef, veggies & hoisin sauce. The dumplings were crunchy and I appreciate that they were also juicy inside. The beef noodle soup has a slight peppery kick. The hand torn noodles in the soup were amazing and the beef was tender. Like others have mentioned, it’s cash only so I recommend that you bring cash.

Yet another authentic Chinese restaurant to check out in San Gabriel valley area here in the city of Alhambra.
My wife had seen this noodle joint on IG and of course we love checking out new places for Chinese eats.
The rainy weather brings on the Noodle appetite and 101 Noodle Express did not disappoint.
We ordered a feast even though we came for some noodles.
Started off with some Dan Dan noodles, steamed / fried pork and shrimp dumplings .
I got their eggplant and pork noodles in a light yet flavorful broth which was quite delicious for a new taste for me.
We also got their Yang chow fried rice and chicken chowmein.
Chicken chowmein was decent in flavor however they could bump up their fried rice game which lacked a bit.
We were patient with their service because there was only 1 server who was quite polite and courteous to us. I felt empathy for her because she had 8 other tables to wait on (1 that had a party of 8) and that can be stressful while taking care of pick up orders and the phone ringing all at the same time. They could have staffed the restaurant with at least 2 more employees to allow a better form of service.
The dining area was clean and organized. Their restrooms could have used a little love, like a little bleach down and air freshener.
101 Noodle Express would have gotten an easy 5 star rating if it weren’t for a couple of setbacks.
Otherwise the noodles here were quite delicious.
We will be back to check out some more of their noodle dishes with soup.

Food is delicious and very authentic. I love the lamp soup noodles, light but very flavorful! The beef roll also very tasty and huge portions. Bathroom needs more attention though.

Quick Summary
Good food, service can be a hit or miss (which is similar to most Asian casual restaurants), and plenty of parking at the plaza
Food- 4 stars
Beef noodle soup- pretty good brisket. Soup and noodles are decent. It’s pretty standard and above average. Great that they give you an option of the standard or knife cut noodles
lamb noodle soup- same as above
Dan dan noodle- same as above. Highly recommend sticking with standard noodles for this one
Beef rolls- these are pretty good. The skin could be crispier, but they do a good job with the beef rolls
Service- 2 stars
I feel bad because they were understaffed and appeared to have alot of newer workers. Food timing wasn’t the best and had to ask multiple times for our order. It’s not surprising, but expected a bit more
Bottom Line
Good Chinese noodle spot without much of a wait time. Service is a hit or miss. Beef rolls are what I recommend here

Beef rolls are good.
Xlb is Mid. But what takes the cake away is that they use MSG in their beef noodle soup.
I might as well eat salt water with my noodles. I had to separate the noodles from the soup to make it edible. This place used to be filled with people and delicious food, but now it’s a shadow of its former self and I wouldn’t recommend it.

beef roll. Beef roll is a must. I’ve tried almost every beef roll in this area, and this is the best beef roll in the area. I also love their hand torn noodles in the beef noodle soup. Nothing fancy but the BEEF ROLL.
