The SGV's beloved beef roll counter — flaky scallion pancake, marinated beef, and a line that has fed Alhambra for decades
The beef roll at 101 Noodle Express is one of the San Gabriel Valley's most celebrated street-food translations: a flaky scallion pancake layered with slow-marinated beef, hoisin, and cilantro, then rolled tight and cut into cross-sections. Regulars treat it with the same reverence that other LA neighborhoods reserve for their signature tacos. The noodle soups — particularly the beef noodle — are built on a broth that simmers for hours, and the pork chop version is a satisfying alternative. The dining room is cafeteria-efficient, the prices are decades behind the neighborhood's rising food costs, and the line never seems to discourage anyone.
