Business Spotlight: Traditional Guilin Noodles

Food has always been a family affair for Zhen Wu, co-owner of Traditional Guilin Noodles in Downtown Monterey Park. Inspired by generations of home cooking, Zhen and his mother turned their shared passion into a beloved local restaurant.

Zhen and his mother chose Guilin noodles, a simple yet delicious dish from Guangxi, China, for its endless customization possibilities. Traditionally, it is a soup-less bowl of rice vermicelli topped with braised meat, pickled veggies, peanuts, and green onions. The dish's star is the sauce - a secret family recipe passed down through generations.

Zhen and his mother take pride in using the freshest local ingredients, including specialty items sourced nearby, to create an authentic taste experience. Their commitment to quality and customer service has earned them a loyal following, helping them weather recent economic challenges. "Monterey Park boasts a wide variety of Asian cuisines, making it challenging to stand out," said Zhen Wu. "We owe our success to the loyal customers who have supported us with overwhelmingly positive feedback. Their support was crucial for us to weather the economic turmoil of recent years."

Beyond the delicious food, Traditional Guilin Noodles offers a welcoming atmosphere with cozy decor, lots of greenery, and even board games for a fun night out. Their spirit of resilience shines through, proving that with passion and dedication, anything is possible.
