- They were amazing.
They're super al
dente, super chewy.
Very delicious.
A lot of flavor.
I definitely would say
more than I expected.
Because I've had these
types of foods before,
but this one actually
made me, I don't know--
my taste buds were like, boo!
Hi, my name is Robert Lee.
This is Bang Bang Noodles.
We're in Los
Angeles, California,
also in a little corner
called Highland Park.
Bang Bang Noodles is a
hand-pulled noodle shop.
We specialize in
Biang Biang Bin.
It's a northern Chinese
noodle that is a handmade.
It's like a belted noodle, which
is kind of like a street food
noodle as well.
It's kind of a quick food.
Has a lot of texture involved.
And it kind of is a
good, great noodle
to absorb all the
sauces, to give
you that flavor in one punch.
And I feel like it's
one of those noodles
that could be the next ramen.
And I personally think
that it's something that I
really think LA's missing.
And I really wanted
to bring here.
And it really drove
me to understand
more about my culture.
All street vending right
here, and maybe about a matter
of a half a block up.
That's the reason why I
did street food, because it
originally is street food.
And we're just trying to
maintain that process as well.
I did have long lines.
My lines were pretty much
around the block to the point
where it was almost
like an hour wait.
An hour and a half,
to a two-hour wait.
And then COVID hit and
I was like, all right.
So what do I do?
And then this opportunity
kind of popped up.
And I was like, all right.
Let's do it.
Me, personally, I just kept on.
I felt like I know I needed to
keep on surviving and pushing
as much as possible.
And I feel like a lot of
other businesses did too.
I've been having
cabin fever like crazy,
so it's good to get out and
enjoy some fresh air and really
good food with some friends.
We're trying to
make sure that we
can provide for all the demands
that we are having right now.
So we have a two- to three-hour
callback list right now.
It is a mini escape.
Basically, it's not how we
used to go to a bar and eat,
you know?
Great thing is that we're
trying to be happy with what
very little we have right now.
And I think it's great.
I'm hoping they're
smiling in those masks,
you know what I mean?
We're definitely
smiling back here.
We're doing the best we can.
