    Pork rib noodle
    Cody T.

    Stopped by CA Noodle this past Friday over my girlfriend's craving for noodle soup and we wanted to try something new. Seeing CA Noodle show up on our yelp search and it was nearby, we decided to check it out. The location is pretty convenient, located in a plaza that shares parking spaces with several other restaurants and a McDonald's. The inside only seats about 10-14 parties of 2-4, so a pretty small restaurant. They had 2 waiters staffing the entire restaurant, but the menu and ordering system is all done through a POS via QR code. The menu was quite large, offering no many choices like pot stickers, noodle soups, chow mein, and little appetizers like pig ears. We ended up ordering the pig ears, pot stickers, pork pan fried bun, and 2 noodle soups. The good: pig ears. The pig ears were cut in various sizes and the flavor was spicy. Definitely to our liking! The neutral: the pork hamburger item and pot stickers. While the bun was tasty and crispy, the mean in between was a bit dry and the taste was a bit mild and less salty. We made it better by adding pig ears with every bite lol. The pot stickers were fine but it didn't really give a crispy bottom taste and more of dry pan sear. It definitely needed sauce as the filling was a bit mild too (very consistent mild tastings after the pig ears. The bad: the soup dishes that we ordered were definitely needing a flavor bomb. While the noodles we ordered were great and had a ton of chew and the protein in the dish was plenty; the soup lacked in taste. My girlfriend had to ask for additional salt to add to taste and it made it so much better. I ate mine as intended and I wasn't as satisfied as compared to if I were to eat at ox9 or muragame. Overall, I thought our meal was about a 3.5. While we enjoyed watching the World Cup while eating our food, the taste of our food was much more desired and it didn't scratch our itch for a rich soup. Unfortunately, many of the other patrons seemed to catch on and order the chow mein instead. If we come back, it's probably what we would order next. Until next time!

    You have to be a local to know this place serves such an authentic hand pulled noodles. Looks like a family mom and pop owns and appreciates the Noodle textures that are made with perfection. Like the crunch in the pigs ears and full of aromatic garlic in the bok choy. But the spicy noodle soup had some taste of lamb which is too gamey for me and the service ... not very manageable. But it's all good food matters most.

    I've been dying to try this place. I kept hearing about the spicy short rib soup. I can totally see why people would love this, but this wasnt for me. The broth was oily and it was hard to enjoy the flavors. The short rib was so tender though. And I loved the bok choy. I ordered this online for pick up and I loveeeeed how they packaged the soup. It comes in a huge container but they separate the broth and noodles. Then when you get home you just dump the noddles in the bottom. Extra star for that! I still think this restaurant is worth trying and I plan on going back to try something else.

    Beef Tomato Egg Noodle

    This is hands down my favorite noodle place! I usually get the Beef Tomato Noodle Soup but after seeing another customer eating the dry noodle version we had to give it a try. The beef is so tender and flavorful and the gravy that comes with the dry noodle is incredible. They are both very similar so if I had to choose one I'd probably choose the dry noodles. Definitely ask for the chili oil as it brings everything to the next level. The restaurant is small and clean and is usually busy but we never have trouble getting a table. Staff is nice and you order on your phone so there is not a lot of service but staff is still friendly. You can also request a physical menu if you prefer as well. Definitely try it out their homemade noodles are the best and have that perfect QQ texture.

    Soup dumplings

    I'm not sure if I just ordered the wrong things, but I did not enjoy my experience. Though we came and got seated right away, we were told to scan the QR code to order. The server didn't really come by to ask us if we had any questions or if this was our first time, so we blindly ordered. I went off of your pictures and order the QQ dry noodles and the soup dumplings. The dumpling was overcooked, and there was no soup in the dumpling and the dry noodles, I could not even finish. The noodles was my fault for sure because I didn't ask any questions. It was mala spicy, and the numbing was just really off for me. I didn't even finish my plate and left hungry.

    HELLA GOOD! I got the hot oil dry noodles with pork, delicious. The xiao long bao is also good but i liked the noodles more! My friend got the soupy noodles and it was also very tasty! Great noodle spot, would go again if i were in the area :) and service is nice too, they were pretty attentive and refilled our waters, no complaints!

    HUGE portions. I really like the sour mustard and spicy pork with rice noodle. A few bites in and it definitely feels like my bowl is getting larger rather than smaller. LOTS of noodles. I personally would prefer more soup and for it to be more sour.

    This was booked marked at the recommended of a friend and finally tried it for dinner on a chilly night this week. I called ahead to see how the wait was and person said he'd try to hold the table. Arrived 30 min later and the restaurant was full. Waited less than 5 min before being seated. I noticed there were just chopsticks in the utensil caddy and a box of napkins to help ourselves with. Water soon came after. Scanned the QR code on the wall behind us. Chose all their popular items. Beef noodle soup, tomato egg beef noodles, potstickers with pork, and ofc XLB (bc you have to try it where ever you see it on the menu) Beef noodle soup was the 1st to come. Needed to ask for bowls as we wanted to share. No extra spoons were given as per usual. I immediately noticed how thick the oil was in the soup. Usually THAT much oil is skimmed out before serving. Not this place. Distributed 3 servings for everyone to try hoping that the oil was not sit wrong in my stomach. IYKYK. (Middle thick) Noodles were nice and chewy and al dente. The flavors of the soup was actually tasty sans the film that spread over my lips, needing napkins to constantly wipe before my next bite. There were some of pieces of beef that were tough while other pieces were nice and tender. It came with a few pieces of bok choy, was nice to help cut down the grease. 3/5 Next came the tomato egg beef noodles. Instead of beef flank it was the same beef brisket (shank?) as the beef noodle soup. That was a nice change. I was so excited to try it as this dish is usually my favorite at place like Noodle St in So Cal. Tomato was nice and tender and not mushy. Egg had lots of flavor. Same beef as the other noodle soup hit or miss of tender pieces. Then the thick noodles. Same chewy texture. This is where it all went wrong for me. The flavor. I tasted Five Spice. Then the mala oily sour spice. The film that lingers and sticks on your lips and tingles throughout the whole meal. The flavors didn't taste quite right. It's like they used the mala base and sweeten it. Personally, not my cup of tea. I couldn't even finish my portion. 2.5/5 Next came the potstickers and XLB Potstickers were essentially the regular size boiled dumplings, pan fried. They looked very promising however the taste for me missed the mark. Meat filling was too lean and the skin wasn't as tender and soft. 3/5 The XLB came out piping hot. The juice held up pretty well. The flavor wasn't bad but it also wasn't my favorite either. 3/5 Throughout this whole time we were trying to flag down the servers for extra spoons and plates to eat our dumplings. We were only able to get extra spoons which weren't the cleanliness with still an oily film lingering. We basically just hand cupped each mouthful of dumpling to prevent the juices from dripping onto the table. No preset table settings. And the utensil was empty besides the chopsticks. By this point there a line forming out the door. I needed to get rid of this sour spicy taste that needed some Dawn soap to cut the grease off. Overall, aside from the thick cut noodles, everything else was just okay. There were these girls sitting at the next table who ordered beef chow mein. That actually looked good as it was my 1st choice but wanted to try the tomato egg instead. We know how that turned out. It sounds like many people like this place, earning them 4+ stars on Yelp. To each their own I guess but it wasn't for me

    Spicy beef noodles
    Maryanne W.

    This is not the first time we came here, but I forgot to write a review last time. My husband and I were not sure where to go for lunch, so decided to return to this little place. This place used to be a Taiwanese restaurant years ago. I was not too thrilled about it despite my love for Taiwanese food... I do not know when did they change hand. Anyway we ordered three items since it was just the two of us . We had the spicy beef noodle soup, the pig ear appetizers, and the potsticker. The beef noodle soup was good. We selected the wide flat noodles, and it was very tasty. It was not as spicy as I have expected, but with a nice kick. Would be better if a bit more vegetables. The pig ears appetizer was great. Many restaurants will have fillers in there like they will have a thin layers of the protein on top and whole bunch of shredded cucumber in the bottom. This place the entire plate was full of pig years. I really really enjoyed it. The potstickers filling was pork, shrimp, and leeks. The size of each potstickers was on the small side, but tasty. The service was OK. Nothing to write home about but nothing to complain about either. The place was small and as with most Chinese place, a bit noisy. Overall, we had a pretty good experience and yes, we will be back here.

    SOOOO YUMMY!!! I ordered Braised Beef Noodle, Spicy Oil Pork Noodle, Cucumber Salad and the Bun. All so YUMMY. I tried a lot of places before including in Taiwan, many popular restaurants in Santa Clara, Fremont, etc. But this is the best ever! The service is great and food was served so quickly. There's an option to choose less oil and salt which is perfect for me. I don't eat salty food. I would highly recommend and def come back! The restaurant's decor is cute and nice too!

    Today was the day! I was craving something warm during the cold weather we have been having. I've been telling myself for a while now that I needed to try CA Noodle because I pass by pretty often when my son goes to gymnastics down the street. The service was fast once I found out you order using the QR code at the table, and the food came out quickly. I got the - Braised beef soup regular noodles($16.80) Fungus salad($7.99) Qianmai Roujiamo($7.99) Spicy Oil Dry Noodle with Pork medium wide noodles($16.30) The braised beef noodle broth was really flavorful and the noodles had a nice chewy texture. I did end up adding some chili oil, which gave it a little extra kick. The fungus salad was nice and refreshing to go with the hot soup. It definitely helped with the heat since the broth stayed hot for what felt like forever, which is a good thing. My husband got the spicy dry noodles with pork and said it was good and enjoyed the heat from the chili. The Qianmai Roujiamo reminded me of a banh mi like flavor mixed with a pulled pork texture. It tasted good, but it's probably not something I would order again. I would go back again for the braised beef noodle soup and maybe try the cucumbers next time, unless I'm craving the fungus salad. It was really good and I might randomly crave it because of the light dressing they use.

    This place is so underrated. Tucked right beside a McDonald's and gas station you would never think you would get authentic noodle soup dishes. But they are delicious. I had the braised beef noodle soup and it was delicious. Parking is usually not an issue and you order via QR code and pay up front. The server is friendly and often plays NBA games. Portion size is also very good. Just note don't order the spicy version unless you REALLY want a kick.

    Braised Beef Noodle Soup
    Jia M.

    Came here during lunch on a weekday and it was surprisingly pretty busy. We didn't have to wait but several people came in to eat after us. The portions are huge! The noodles are never-ending. I would say this is one of the best braised beef noodle soup places around the area - East Bay. The only downside is that the soup is a little oily in my opinion.

    *** Vegetarian Review ***…read more Full disclaimer. I haven't been to the restaurant, but I've tried their vegan potstickers at the Kaiser Vallejo Farmers Market. So, since I wasn't able to find a check in for that market, I had to come here to sing their praises. 6 Vegan Potstickers at the market are $13. I recommend spending the $1 for chili oil. Not sure what they charge at the restaurant for these fried pockets of deliciousness, but I tell you if these taste this good at a farmers market, packaged in a box, and I wait 10 minutes before I find a seat in the hospital cafeteria, and it still tastes this good, the restaurant must be out of this world. The wrapper has a great thickness and offers a sticky and chewy bite. Pan fried still comes out after having these steam in a to go box, so the restaurant would probably make these pan fried babies have even more texture. Comes with a dipping sauce, but combine it with the chili oil if you can handle a little heat and Yes Chef!! I heard they are at the SF Ferry Building Market on Saturday and Walnut Creek Farmers Market on Sunday. Double check those, but finding a great vegan potsticker is not easy.

It was early dinner time on a Friday evening and it wasn't overly crowded. All 6 of us got different items and overall it's a matter of preference for what kind of broth and protein you'd like that depicts the meal, the toppings are generally all the same. Consider this place to almost be a "make your own ramen" type of thing, in that you're given a platter of toppings to add to your bowl of steaming hot broth, mix it and let it sit, then voila! It's ready to eat. For a rainy winter evening, it was perfect to have some tasty noodle soup!

The portions were pretty generous. -grapefruit tea: thought it was pretty yummy! I also tried out the super fruit tea and i really liked it but personally found it to be a little too sweet. Not too much to displease though! I mixed some water and it was perfect for me. -tomato beef brisket noodle soup: i was surprised by how tender the meat was and how much they actually give you. If you love tomato soups as much as i do then it's definitely a great option! -takoyaki & lamb skewers: my sister had one dish from her combo order and i has my own but was able to try both! The lamb skewers were a bit smaller than expected but were flavorful with a fragrant aroma. The takoyaki came in about 5 balls and while they didn't include all typical takoyaki toppings it was still pretty good considering it came as a combo! Overall, i really loved coming by this place, my main concern is that it's actually in a pretty busy plaza so parking can be a little difficult during peak business hours. Otherwise it's located in a really great area relatively close to some shopping areas such as the Livermore outlets or even other smaller shopping plazas. Give this place a try if you're in the area and looking for a good eat without breaking the wallet!
