    We noticed that Cloudland had available seating while most of the restaurants around it all had huge queues waiting out front, so we decided to give them a try. Despite ample available tables, they wanted to seat us outside. We didn't really mind at the time since it was a warm day and we were hungry and just eager to get our grub on. While they were quick to take our order and bring out the food, it was really hard to flag anyone during the meal as our table lacked several items. Most notably spoons in order to drink the noodle soup. Additionally, I had to go inside at the end of the meal to pay for our check as noone came back out to check on us. The menu here is pretty limited as far as main entrées go. There are only about a handful of main dishes to choose from, which I feel we didn't appreciate as much being unfamiliar with the regional cuisine. I ordered the Single Cooked Rice Noodle Soup, which comes with a pretty decent level of spiciness. So I would recommend asking if they have a non-spicey option if you do not enjoy a more intense heat. My wife opted for the Cold Rice Noodles with Chicken Shreds. We should have definitely looked up the pictures first, because it was not at all what we expected. Overall, we felt the dishes were ok. They food was filling; however we would have preferred if there were more options.

    I was super disappointed with the noodle soup here. It didn't have that traditional Cloudland flavor I was craving. And instead of serving the ingredients on the side, they were all mixed into the soup. I didn't see the fine print on the menu that said I needed to specify my preferences when ordering, but even if I had, I'm not sure it would have made a difference. The owner's approach seemed kinda lazy, to be honest. And the soup itself was all blended which made it look like something I could've made at home. It cost $20 and needs to pay in cash! Yeah, I won't be back.

    Tasty and generous bowls of noodle that gets busy and backlogged as well as minimal service. Credit cards accepted and walk-in mainly indoor dining with limited outside dining.

    Not very impressive, may be we don't know what to order. The two appetizers that we ordered, imo, are over priced, especially the mushrooms are just a tiny sauce dish! The beef is too chewy not tender at all.

    I came to Cloudland in Newark to try their noodles, and overall it was a solid experience. The noodles themselves were decent--good texture and flavor--but I was hoping for a bit more in terms of meat and ingredients, especially given the price point. For what you pay, the bowl felt a little underwhelming on the portion side. That said, the ambiance was nice and the service was friendly. I'd come back, but probably try something else on the menu next time.

    Steamed pork meat -nothing like the photo

    I didn't like this place much. No variety in dishes and their signature noodle dish wasn't all that. The pork was an interesting mush without much meat in it. The cheese is sort of like paneer but served in an unappetizing way. Would recommend Human Mifen,a couple stores down. Or the noodle shop in the Ranch 99 plaza food court in Fremont.

    Crossing bridge rice noodles - an usual noodles soup, nothing fancy. Single cooked rice noodles soup - it's the noodle soup, just add pepper oil and vinegar. Steaming pot chicken - it's delicious but too many chicken bones, hardly can taste the chicken meat. The owner said they use spring chicken hence many bones and less meat. It's a tiny pot just enough for one person.

    Popular and authentic southwestern Chinese Yunnan regional cuisine. Known for Crossing-Bridge Rice Noodle 過橋米線. We went as soon as it opened. There was a long line of diners waiting when we finished our lunch. We were politely asked to leave as we finished our meal because so many people were waiting. We ordered: 4*Crossing-Bridge Rice Noodle 過橋米線 included hot broth, rice noodles, vegetables, and meat. I added hot chili sauce for stronger taste. 3*Fried Dairy Fan 大理炸乳扇: it was precooked and served cold. I wouldn't have ordered it if If I had known that. I like fried food served hot. 4*Fried Wild Boletus 油炸野生牛肝菌: it was the real McCoy, authentic and delicious, but the portion was very small.

    Haven't paid a visit for a long time. Good part: the main bowl has become a pretty hearty bowl of noodles, more noodles than before. Bad part: you have to ask to not mix the ingredients, which doesn't taste fresh when bought to you after mixing. The chicken slices tasted especially bland, doesn't even look nor taste like chicken. The amount of meat seemed to even have decreased from the original already small portions. The broth is also not feeling as authentic as before, less thick and flavor. I didn't know that you have to go with the combination to even have enough ingredients, which added up to $22 for a bowl of noodles plus add-one. Though they seem to actually gain popularity (more customers) the quality I would say have dropped.

    There are several new Crossing-Bridge Noodle opened around this area. This is our first time to try this restaurant. We came here in Sunday night and all the seats are occupied. We had such a bad experience at the first glance. Terrible organization of waiting list. We were told to wait outside the restaurant for the next table and two customers came after us. They went straight into the restaurant and got seat before us. It is not acceptable that the seat were given to someone known if you promised your customers we were the next one. Crossing Bridge Rice Noodle is normal with rich enough chicken soup favor but the portion is little bit smaller than I expected.

    This place is delicious! This restaurant has been here for a while and surprised I never got the chance to try it because the food is pretty darn good. - Crossing-Bridge Rice Noodle - This is definitely my more favorite noodle dish out of the two. If you get it to-go, they automatically dump all the ingredients into the noodle soup bowl, so not the traditional version where you "cook" it by yourself. I really like how thin the meat is and also the soup is so flavorful and light. - Single Cooked Rice Noodle Soup - This is definitely the more flavorful version of the Cross-Bridge Noodle Soups. I really appreciate how many different ingredients they put into the bowl beside the noodles. The flavor is kind of a lot, so if you take it to-go, maybe add some water to dilute the flavor a bit. Overall, a delicious meal definitely will come back for more! Just a quick note that the to-go containers are $1.50 each. Should have seen that coming, but just a note in the future to bring your own pot if you don't want to pay for the container.

    English menu is limited so utilize the photos

    I think I found a perfect lunch on a hot day: the cold noodles with shredded chicken and peanuts and light vegetable . It was cool and just the perfect portion. Menu a tad difficult to navigate in English but plenty of photos available. Err on the side of caution with the spice or ask for it on the side.

We started with the One Piece Mixed Salad (tofu skin, vermicelli noodles, woodear mushrooms, carrots, celery, seaweed, and peanuts, all mixed in a savory, acidic, and spicy dressed ) and the Shredded Potato Salad, both of which made for nice appetizers. We also had the Cold Skin Noodles (Liangpi), a bowl of wide, chewy noodles mixed with a savory sauce and topped with tofu puffs, shredded cucumber , bean sprouts, and a creamy sesame sauce. Hailing from Xi'an, the Braised Pork Pita Burger was fatty pieces of pork braised in a savory sauce, served in a dry round of "pita," but even better was the Spicy Cumin Lamb Pita Burger, which contained a tantalizingly spicy, flavorful filling of tender spiced lamb. The Signature Beef Bone Noodle Soup came with noodles in a simple broth, topped with three bone-in beef ribs. The meat on the ribs was rather tough and sinewy, and the soup on the bland side, but the presentation of the dish was definitely impressive. Finally, the House Special Braised Dry Noodle was a bowl of noodles topped with a savory sauce with lots of different dried ingredients including tofu, s mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and red bell peppers. For each noodle dish, you could select from a variety of noodles, but my favorite by far was the 2cm "General Wide" noodles, which had an amazing chewy texture. Overall, this was a great restaurant for authentic Northern Chinese noodle dishes and other eats. Everything came out from the kitchen in just minutes after we ordered. The tasty dishes came at a good value, and the service was super friendly too!

    Was going to another noodle place but it seems it was no longer there so we decided come here to…read moresince it is in the same plaza. This is not our first time here. There seems to have some menu change since the last time we came. We ordered 2 dry noodles and a cold spicy pig ears appetizer. The pig ears were piled up with no fillers - something hard to find these days. You can select the type of noodles so I picked the widest while my husband picked the middle one. I love the el dente texture of the noodles giving it a bit of chew. My braised pork belly dry noodles was not dry... very watery which was not to my liking. I want my dry noodles with as little gravy as possible. The flavor was light despite all the gravy, but the veggies and one egg made it up. The house special dry noodles had just the right amount of gravy for taste but not enough ingredients. I was wondering why the restaurant is called One Piece... I guess the entire bowl of noodles is one piece noodle as it was hard to eat as all the noodles are tangled. No complaints here just need to be careful with the splashes on your shirt. Overall the food was good, service was decent as we were offered actual menu instead of only using QR code to order. The place was not small with plenty of table. A bit noise as with all Chinese restaurants.

I actually have one of Ox 9's other locations bookmarked but when I found out there was a branch in Fremont, I detoured to try them out. I came on a weekend for early lunch, and the restaurant was quite empty and spacious. There is a window that allows you to see where the sausage (noodles) get made (pulled). Located in a strip mall, there is ample parking. Two friendly women told me to sit wherever and order via QR code. I deliberated for a hilariously long time over the width of my noodles but ultimately decided on the beef and pickled veggie noodle soup with the thin flat noodles, as well as an order of the lamb skewers. The food came out reasonably fast, given that the noodles are hand-pulled, and the portions were HUGE. The lamb skewers were highly rated online and I can see why. They are perfectly spiced and so flavorful, without being so coated that the texture changes, and they have the PERFECT fat to lean ratio so they were unbelievably succulent, but not cloying. An order is 3 decent-sized skewers and I absolutely housed those. Next I was served a huge bowl of steaming, fresh noodles. The small flat noodle was the perfect size for me, as they were already quite wide. I was not looking to chew through literal dough sheets so I am glad I didn't opt for any wider noodle size. The texture of the noodles was sublime, so QQ so springy, you can really tell that they are hand-pulled. The slight imperfections and difference in thickness between noodles gave each bite a unique chew that was so addicting. I wish the physical dimensions of the bowl were a bit bigger because the noodles were a bit tangled and clumpy and I would have liked a bit more room to mix and spread them out. The beef noodle soup broth was just ok, I think the flavor could have been a bit deeper and stronger, but I could appreciate a savory beefy flavor. The pairing of pickled vegetables and tender beef is a classic though, and I do appreciate the clean, soothing taste. There is chili oil, soy sauce, and vinegar at every table so I added a bit more salt and spice to mine. Portions were HUGE and I was already getting full from the lamb skewers, so I took a good amount home. I packed the noodles and soup separately, and the superior gluten formation of fresh noodles held up to a day in the fridge, and were still quite tasty when reheated on stovetop. I loved this place and would absolutely return to try the other noodle dishes and noodle dimensions, as well as get more of their fabulous skewers.

We were led to our seats and once we were given the menu, we started studying it meticulously. I got the HINODEYA "House" Ramen, my wife got the Beef Bowl "Gyudon", and our friend got a ramen with katsu in it. They asked me if I wanted my ramen mild, medium or hot in spiciness. I went with the medium option. I enjoyed my ramen. The broth was well made but I didn't notice much difference between the wheat noodle they've used versus normal noodle used in other shops. The portion was not big for its price and I was about 80% full from the bowl. When I tasted a bite of my wife's beef bowl, boy was I disappointed. They added way too much sauce and honestly I can't say this dish is good. The beef wasn't cut in the traditional way in how a gyudon should be and it turned out a little bit thicker which is a little weird for me. I would compared it to a Yoshinoya and the irony is that I actually like the beef bowl from Yoshinoya better at half the price? lol. Our friend shared a little bit of her katsu with us and we thought it was way too dry. Perhaps it's been sitting at the heat lamp for way too long... Overall, what I feel about Hinodeya is that they've definitely have some unique ideas in their dishes but the execution and consistency still needs to be worked on. I noticed that there were 4 different spicy level and I was a little curious as to what they were. It wasn't until I asked the waiter that they explained them to us. I was a little puzzled because this seems to be what they wanted to push but we just weren't told to us in our visit until way later... It's a 50/50 whether I'll come back or not. I think there are definitely improvements for a good ramen spot that people would crowd upon in the bay area for sure.

Don't let the fair pricing fool you, it is a really nice restaurant!! The interior is incredibly clean & well maintained, it's a whole experience having dinner there. After dinner (if you have children, this is key) they give you a scoop of ice cream, which is included with your dinner / lunch. I took my little daughter there once, for lunch, during daddy-daughter day. She REALLY enjoyed it. They have great meat options & the noodles, vegetables, etc - you go grab yourself, buffet style. So you go load a plate with whatever you'd like to add to your cook pot, along with the meat. They have little soft boiled quail eggs that you can add to your pot - HIGHLY recommend!! They have, if I recall, 4 or 5 different soup bases to choose from. I've had three thus far & they have all been incredibly good. PLEASE NOTE - the spicy one is no joke, I am a spicy food connoisseur & I will admit, even on my "0-10" scale, that red spicy soup base was easily an 8. Interestingly enough albeit very spicy, the red soup base has excellent flavor; in other words it's not just pure pain & terror & capsaicin overdose... It's spicy AND very flavorful. Give these guys a try!! We will definitely be returning, although this has to be more of a quarterly thing. As eating hot pot with little kids is NOT easy for parents - constantly making sure they don't spill boiling soup on themselves. What we did was asked for a bowl / plate; so we could serve the children the various meats, noodles, vegetables after they were cooked... Also to prevent the children from sticking spoons into a vigorously boiling pot. (SAFETY NOTE - the cook pots are directly in the table, built-in cooktops. So be vigilant with small children. The wait staff will give you a tutorial on how to increase/decrease the heat on the burner and/or how to shut it off when you're done cooking. Aside from my concern of the children burning themselves, it is an EXCELLENT experience for kids nevertheless).
