But on the Yellowpages, it listed the restaurant as Wok and Noodle. Yelp and Citysearch uses Yellowpages for their listings. You might have the name right, but I'm pretty sure they are using Wok and Noodle as their English DBA. For instance, Ding's Garden on San Gabriel Blvd/Valley Blvd is using the name of Savory Garden on the menu, but the front sign says Ding's Garden. I asked the lai ben nan (old lady boss), she gave me several confusing runaround answers. These are not the only places to use two names and I don't expect it to be the last. Very confusing indeed. @Louise, they didn’t state the name of Wok and Noodle anywhere. But on the Yellowpages, it listed the restaurant as Wok and Noodle.

Xiao Chi is a translation to "Little Eat". I know it's the same place, but I don't know if they changed their name recently. It's hard to tell because they do not have an English name for the place out in the front. I definitely love their clay pot soup and their dumplings. Great job on the review Louise! @Geoff, that is the same place. Xiao Chi is a translation to “Little Eat”. I know it’s the same place, but I don’t know if they changed their name recently.

I didn't see an English name on the awning above the restaurant, so I didn't know what it was called in English. Does it say 'Wok and Noodle' somewhere? @Geoff I believe this is the same place.
