Asian Noodles in Los Angeles

Asian Noodles

I recently discovered this place while eating across the street at the Spring Street Smokehouse.

I went back to Asian Noodles the next day, expecting pho, or pad thai, or chinese curry noodles. I was pleasantly surprised to find this was a filipino joint, on the edge of Los Angeles' historic Filipinotown district.

The seafood noodle soup I had was delicious, a clear broth with noodles and generous portions of shrimp, mussels, squid, and some sort of white rolled "leaves" of seafood which I couldn't identify. I thought it better not to ask, at least until I'd finished. I learned this when I was traveling in Asia - if I like it - eat it all and then ask what it was...
The bao bun had a braised pork inside as opposed to the roasted pork as you fund with Chinese dim sun, and was tenderer and juicier.
