Le Shrimp Noodle Bar Now Open At The Americana at Brand

Attached to the new Paradise Dynasty at The American at Brand is its sister concept, Le Shrimp Noodle Bar. It's the first "Wok-Hei" shrimp broth noodle venue in LA.

This is a smaller and more casual dining venue for shrimp lovers, as shrimp drives the menu, from deeply flavored broths to crispy toppings. It’s not an accent ingredient, it’s the star of the menu.

Atmosphere: The interior is more of an urban-street market feel rather than the formal dining room next door at Paradise Dynasty. There is wood paneling and darker timber furnishings for a more rustic feel. The use of warm, soft lighting provides a more cozy feel.

Cuisine Inspiration: Chinese and Japanese fusion shrimp ramen with a signature shrimp and chicken-based broth. Tantalizing “wok-hei” achieved with classic Cantonese cooking technique over a fiery wok.

A Must To Order: Signature Trio Shrimp Noodle Bowl loaded with whole prawns, prawn balls, prawn and chicken wontons in a slow-simmered shrimp broth. Big Prawn Noodle is the richest shrimp-broth ramen with a big head-on prawn on top.

Shrimp Broth: They use only the freshest tiger prawns that are baked at 350 degrees and blended to fully extract the shrimp flavors. Then they are mixed with a variety of Asian spices such as star anise, cinnamon, clove and white peppercorn. The blended prawns are simmered for more than 8 hours with whole chicken, achieving a rich shrimp and umami broth.

What To Drink: Green or Oolong Tea.

Other Locations: This is the brand's third location, following the opening at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa and Irvine Spectrum Center in Orange County.
