1. The portions of the Roodle dishes are huge, and these dishes were delicious! The mini pot roodle had a good level of spice! Also, I love that the coconut bomb had boba pearls! 2. The spot had fun casual vibes! 3. The staff were friendly and timely with our order! 4. Parking lot is decently sized, but it was not crowded at opening! 5. There are only indoor seatings! Note: There is a unique QR code on the table where you can place your table's order on the website! You can also choose to pay off the tab on your phone or ask the waiter for the check after the meal! Photo: Mini Pot Roodle, Magic Tofu Roodle, Coconut Bomb, and Cold-Tossed Pig Ears

Very quick and attentive service. I was very interested in coming here to try the "Crossing the Bridge" noodles, a dish where the ingredients all come on the side and you cook them in the hot broth. I was super impressed by how well and long the big bowl kept the soup piping hot. It was an unusual but fun experience adding everything to the soup and watching it cook very quickly. I got the tomato soup base which was very flavorful and definitely a must-get if you like tomato broths like me, and the noodles were very thick and slippery. I also ordered the coconut bomb which I really liked. It was mildly sweet and had a blend of textures from the toast, milk, and jellies.

Xishang Roodle had been on my list for a couple of months after seeing it on Instagram and reading positive Yelp reviews and I finally got around to trying it this past Friday. I decided to order the Wagyu Beef Crossing the Bridge rice noodles while my sister ordered the Original Crossing the Bridge rice noodles. Both the meat and broth quality were pretty good and I thought the extra meat in the Wagyu Beef Crossing was worth the $5 extra compared to the Original. They were unfortunately out of the House Special Beef Soup and noted that it wouldn't be available until the weekend. Parking was plentiful outside and the service was very quick. Overall definitely a worthwhile spot to eat when craving good Chinese noodle soup and will likely return on a weekend to be able to try the House Special Beef Soup next time.

Plenty of parking in the Bristol Place Plaza. Step inside and it was bright, modern, vibrant and the only right section is a counter for take out. We went on a weekday and it was pretty busy. The host/waiter mentioned that they have tables but the chefs are behind so wait times for food might be delayed by 15-20 minutes which we were ok with. You order through scanning the QR Code app and you will pay your bill there as well. We ordered our food and it came relatively quickly so that was appreciated. We started off with the small fried pork ribs which was delicious and fried well. The original Roodle was good and I love the aesthetics with all 9 side dishes where you dump it in the amazing delish broth. It was filling. Noodles were soft and slippery. Good taste overall.

Interesting concept. Noodle soup has the meat/veggies/side comes in small plates. It reminds me of beef stew and Vietnamese bun Bo hue. Not sure if I would go back but I do love the concept. Coconut bomb was not to my liking. It's definitely coconut but it's not a drink I would order again. Service is typical of an oriental restaurant - the waiter will come when you call for them.

There are plenty of parking spaces. Once seated, you scan the QR code to view the menu. I ordered the Original Crossing the-bridge Rice Noodle. This is a unique way of eating the food and they do provide instructions, but it's not as complicated as it looks. You'll receive a tray of mini dishes that consist of meat, egg, veggies, etc. They also provide a separate bowl of just broth and a separate bowl of rice noodles. You put the egg in first then meat, veggies, and rice noodle. The broth, meat, noodles, and veggies were all really good. The broth was super tasty and perfect for the cold weather. Recommendation(s): - Original Crossing the-bridge Rice Noodle Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Restrooms available - Plenty of parking spaces - Order and pay via the mobile phone

I came to Xishang Roodle for their crossng the bridge noodles. Located in the same plaza as Target a few blocks from South Coast Plaza, they are the only place in Orange County that I am aware of that serves this novelty dish. Back in the Yunnan Province of China, a scholar was studying for an imperial exam to become an official. His wife would have to cross the bridge to bring him his meals. She found that the noodles would get soggy by the time she got it to him, so she decided to separate all of the ingredients and not mix them until she arrived. What a nice wife! When I arrived at Xishang, I was welcomed to sit at any seat that's empty. They have QR codes at the table for you to scan and order from. I ordered a Tomato Broth Roodle ($19.99) and an Iced Lemon Tea ($5.99). The noodle came with rice noodles and 9 different small ingredients to throw into the hot broth. I asked the staff for their recommendations, and I was told to throw in the quail eggs first, then the meat items, then the veggies, and lastly the noodles for the optimal cook times. I enjoy the interactive meal. Staff was also nice to bring me extra napkins even before I had to ask for it, and remove dishes when I was done with it. The tomato broth was not the best I've had, so it effected the taste of everything. If I were to come back I would get a different broth base. The ingredients were really quality delicious items, and fun to eat. I would consider coming back the next time it's soup weather.

Inside is clean and fine. Service is efficient and quick. Got the original which was yummy but a tad oily? Interesting concept to serve all the components on the side similar to hot pot? Cute and relatively yummy but I'm not amazed. Tbh I miss the restaurant that this place replaced.

This place is super unique with how they serve their noodles. They present it in a set with all of the toppings separated. It's such a cool and cute way to eat it and mix it all together. The flavors of the appetizer, noodles, and drinks were all really tasty. The workers were super nice and attentive too. I love the interior decor. Parking won't be a problem because it's located in a large shopping plaza.

I really enjoyed the food here. I ordered mild spicy for most of our side dishes but they were still too spicy for my kids. I wish the "mild" was less spicy so that my kids could enjoy this more. Perfect spice level for me though. The Yunnan noodle was served traditional style, with 9 little dishes of toppings and a bowl of soup and separate bowl of noodle. We enjoy assembling it all into the soup. Our friend got the Wagu beef Yunnan noodle soup and the beef looked very marbled and fresh. One thing I noticed was the soup tasted to be maybe chicken based? I expected it to have a stronger pork bone broth taste. Flavors were good. Portion size was decent. Pricing was reasonable. Overall a pretty good experience!
