Dong Ting Noodle is one of my go-to spots! Great value, great food, and incredibly friendly and fast service. We come here pretty often on Sundays after a full day of badminton and leave totally stuffed! It's clean and spacious inside - and rarely ever is there a wait! Here's what I've ordered from across multiple visits: - Pork Belly Rice (5/5): Great value order - I order this all the time on Uber Eats from work and at 11 dollars, it is a steal. Be the envy of all your coworkers as you open this aroma bomb in the cafeteria! The pork is super tender and cut so that every piece has a bit of fat on it, and the vegetables add an acidity that helps balance out the fat. - Beef Noodle Soup (4.5/5): Honestly, probably the best in west side. The broth is super flavorful, the beef tender, and I love their egg noodles. Word of caution: if you order this spicy, it comes with a thick coating of spicy oil over the top of your dish. I don't think anyone who's ordered this spicy has liked the copious amount of oil, so I'd recommend ordering the original and adding spicy oil yourself. Popcorn Chicken (5/5): Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, fragrant and flavorful. Amongst the best popcorn chicken I've had. Just don't order this via delivery, it does not travel well (their containers also trap moisture). Numbing Spicy Chicken (Cold Appetizer) (4.5/5): A "mild" spice for people that can eat really spicy food. The chicken is full of meat and paired with the sauce is strangely addicting! Beef and Onion Shao Mai (2/5): Unfortunately, I can't recommend their shao mai compared to everything else on their menu. Part of the wrapper was still hard - not fully steamed - and the meat was kind of dry. Price wise, it's also pretty expensive for what you get. Chicken Noodle Golden Soup (4.5/5): I got this delivered when I was sick with the flu and it hit the spot. Hearty and flavor packed soup with a really strong and pure flavor of chicken. I prefer the beef noodle soup taste wise slightly more since the chicken soup can feel a bit more one dimensional flavor wise due to the mild flavor of chicken and lack of sour vegetables. Wood ear mushroom (4/5): Definitely not something I'd order independently, but it's one of the options for the bundles on Uber Eats. A very mild spice with a bit of sourness, it's quite refreshing. The portion size on it is definitely a lot for one person! I know I'll be visiting or ordering again soon - thank you for the great meals!

I walked by this restaurant couple times and finally tried it. You order from a QR and the food comes quickly. The service is friendly and they help you with any questions you have on the menu. I highly recommend the Shao Mai. I've never had this style before. It comes with 3. It looks like a flower and its larger than traditional size Shao Mai. The popcorn chicken tasted delicious with lots of fried basil. The numbing spicy chicken had a great flavor profile and not too spicy. The xiao long Bao I would skip. The flavor was good but the skin was just too thick. They don't validate for parking. I parked for little under 2 hours and it was $6. I would park in this building and walk to the other stores when it's a busy night.

My friends and I happened upon Dong Ting Noodle during an excursion to Sawtelle on a rainy day, and boy were we not disappointed. Combining yummy food a pleasant environment, Dong Ting Noodle is a must try. Spicy special fish (5/5): The fish was cooked to perfection, tender on the inside and sitting in a pool of deliciously spicy chili broth. It was pretty spicy, so having a decent spice tolerance would be good for this dish. Xiao Long Bao (5/5): About as good as xiao long bao gets, with thin skin and savory broth inside.

I came here on a Thursday night to catch up with a friend. It wasn't busy at all and we were seated straight away! They had an interesting feature where you could order on the app and it was directly sent to the kitchen so there was never really a need to interact with the server too much - the server we DID have was very nice though! I ordered the house special beef noodle soup, the snow beef & onion smile dumplings, and the crispy chicken. The beef noodle soup was the exact soupy comfort I needed - the beef was really tender and excellently cooked, the broth itself was veryyyy flavorful and I really enjoyed the crunchiness of all the veggies that were in there. The smile dumplings were sooo tasty, I even opted to put them IN my noodle soup and that was FANTASTIC! They were especially good when I added some of the table chili oil inside as well. And then lastly, the crispy chicken - whenever I'm having multiple *soft* dishes, I always need a side of something extra crispy/crunchy to have a texture break, this chicken was the perfect something. Once again, incredibly flavorful and there was SO much of it that I was able to bring home leftovers. All in all, I really enjoyed all the food I had here! Parking was a little difficult but that's Sawtelle Blvd for ya. In total, I spent around $47 (not including tip) so considering I got 3 things AND had leftovers, I'd say that was a decent price.

They serve a mean bowl of beef noodle soup here. So comforting and perfect for colder days!! The dim sum was kind of so so. Oddly dry. Also food and service was served pretty fast. Kind of felt rushed.

Located at the north end of Sawtelle, the restaurant is clean and well-lit with pleasant glass front and semi open kitchen. Inside the seating is on the casual side. The servers were attentive and we got seated right away. Orders can be placed either through QR code or the server can bring physical menu if asked. Great selection of dishes and below are what we ordered: Beef Noodle: the soup broth was flavorful and beef pieces were tender. Noodle consistency was nice. Not too firm nor too soft. On the spot. Black Truffle and Mushroom Dumplings: aesthetically unattractive and there were only a hint of truffle in the fillings. Slightly disappointed. Shredded Chicken Noodle: nice noodle texture, great broth flavor, and the shredded chicken strips were tender. Changsha Spicy Medley: mixture of wood ear mushrooms, bean curds, beef slices and other ingredients. The seasoning was so powerful, it kind of hit your palate on your first try. What a great combination. A great Chinese noodle option in Sawtelle Japantown.

Dong Ting Noodle is one of the many restaurants in the Sawtelle area, but it has its own unique dishes and tastes! The interior is modern and inviting, with a window into the kitchen so you can see the food being prepared if you choose to. I ended up ordering their signature dish, the crispy chili beef noodle, and enjoyed it! It's very different from other noodle dishes I've had, and the beef feels almost like jerky in texture. Definitely a place to try out!

Friendly and amazing staff! Adam our waiter was so prompt and polite. I got the extreme spicy beef noodles and he made sure due to my request to really make it as spicy as possible! Great for collagen because of the tendons but the soup was very oily so def avoided sipping on it. It was soooo spicy and tangy. Def hit the spot after BeautyCon. Wood ear mushroom salad was so flavorful and tangy. Def one of the best o ever had. Love that this spot is a new addition to Sawtelle

We were walking down Sawtelle with hunger pangs. I was not in the mood for Japanese cuisine and as you may know this street has a lot of Japanese restaurants (although more recently that's been changing). One of the newer additions has been Dong Ting Noodles which serves Chinese (Hunan-style), casual eats. The restaurant was relatively empty when we came for dinner on Tuesday, but we later found out that we had been seated pretty close to their closing time. They close at 9PM. We ordered to share, but to be honest, I enjoyed my red braised pork rice noodle more than the house special (so I ate most of the red braised pork), and he enjoyed the house special beef noodle soup more than what I had ordered. All that to say is we all have our preferences so your assessment of these soups may vary from my own. Also, I saw the Sea Buckthorn Juice advertisement on the screen and added it on to our meal. I have never had sea buckthorn before. Let me tell you, it was tart, sour, and sweet. It felt like I was drinking a combination of various familiar fruits I have had before but all-in-one. We ordered: 1. House Special Beef Noodle Soup - Spicy ($14.99) 2. Red Braised Pork Rice Noodle Soup - Spicy ($14.99) 3. Sea Buckthorn Juice ($3.90) This restaurant is located at the north "end" of the Sawtelle strip so it's not near the hustle and bustle of most of the restaurants but is still super convenient to walk to. I have returned since June since this spot is somewhat enroute to my commute coming home when I take the freeway. Good food.
