    Beef noodle soups
    Christy M.

    My favorite place to get beef noodles in the Bay Area. Super tender and flavorful beef. Love the chewiness of the thick wide noodles. Broth is amazing too. The food comes out pretty fast and service here is nice.

    I got the braised beef shank noodle soup and handmade noodles were sooo chewy and yummy but there were only like 5 noodles in there and like 4 pieces of beef shank. The beef shank was pretty tender tho and the broth was flavorful. The popcorn chicken was alright, it was a little bit dry. The chili wontons were also alright, not amazing but not bad. Not sure if I'd be back because the portion size for the price is just not worth it :/

    F2. Pork Meat Sauce Dry Noodle
    Angel L.

    4.5 rounded up We got 2 items for takeout. They were promptly ready and packaged really nicely. The interior looks nice as well and we would love to dine in in the future. Pork chop fried rice 4.5/5 - This dish is a classic and did not disappoint. Pork chop was tender and nicely fried. But the star of the dish is def the fried rice. It was delicious - very savory and well balanced. Despite being more of a noodle person, my husband preferred this dish and devoured it. Pork meat sauce dry noodle with handmade noodles 4/5 - It was a good dish overall. The meat sauce was delicious, like a lu rou fan type of flavor. However, the meat to noodles ratio wasn't great. The handmade noodles were the thick type and while they're well made, I don't think they go well with this dry dish (they prob would be better in the soup dishes). I wish we got the thin noodles instead. Glad we finally tried this place and we'll def be back. If the lu rou fan tastes similar to the meat sauce on the noodles, then I def want to try that next time

    Haven't been here for a while so I decided to come back and see if it has any menu changes. Overall it is still very similar. Their food is still as good. I got another hot noodle soup. Broth is flavorful and delicious. Their pork cutlet is really really good. Service is ok. They are attentive and are willing to help. The restaurant is a big place. It is clean and spacious. Will return.

    They serve solid Taiwanese beef noodle soup. I really like their hand made noodles. It's semi thick and has a nice bit to it. This location offers a lot of parking. If you get certain menu items, they offer a small discount on certain appetizers if you pair them together. We also tried the century egg and tofu appetizer since we saw that it was popular, I thought it was just ok but it was mainly the sauce. Sauce just wasn't for me. Definitely would come back and try their other noodles!

    Felt like the soup didn't have much contents. There were only a few pieces of meat and the noodles were okay. Bottom of the soup had unmixed seasoning.

    Swung by after an apartment viewing on a Saturday afternoon for an early dinner. It was busy around 5pm but after 30 minutes, it was packed! Definitely felt assured after the crowd came through. We ordered the pork chop fried rice, beef combo noodle soup, and the wonton with chili sauce. Everything came out so tasty and savory! The decor inside was also super comforting and clean. Definitely someplace I would come for a comfortable meal. 5/5 dinner! Expected to be a regular moving forward.

    C1. Braised Beef Shank & Tendon Noodle Soup
    Crystal L.

    I'm a fan ! Duan's is my Asian comfort food ! The dishes are flavorful and give the homey vibes. Like I wanna be eating this bowl of soup on my couch in a blanket. Flavorful rich broth with the perfect pair of braised soft beef with tendon and chewy noodles. Praise the braise ! The mushrooms were delicious !! We got the braised trio which complimented our soup very well for the added protein. The pork chop fried rice was soo good. Perfect amount of salt and oil. I'd be fine with just the rice itself. Crispy and cooked just right, not dry at all. Short wait on a Saturday though it looked busy. Staff was quick. Would come again

    Beef noodle soup with handmade noodles
    Yee F.

    We had a party of 9 and were seated pretty quickly. Orders were taken quickly, chopsticks and napkins arrived shortly after, and the food right after that. Ordered #1 with handmade noodles. The broth is flavorful with a hint of heat that tickles the back of your throat. The handmade noodles had a fantastic chew to them and were cooked just right. The brisket and tendon were tender and delicious, and the waiters were very kind and efficient. We had a friend from Taiwan with us and he said the food was "legit", so that underscores the positive review! Will definitely come back when we're in town!

    3.5 star Good and responsive wait service. But we felt that the speed of food delivery had slowed down. We waited longer for the food to come out, and it was puzzling especially because our orders were their popular items. We haven't been here for awhile. Since the kiddo missed their Century Egg Tofu, we return for a weekend lunch. The Century Egg and Tofu is as good as before but we only regretted that the menu had changed and they no longer offer a combo meal including an appetizer. Nevertheless, we still enjoyed the dish, and kiddo enjoyed her beef noodle stir fry. I tried their traditional flavor combo that came with a bowl of beef soup, a bowl of minced pork over rice and a plate of lettuce with sauce. It's indeed an all-time favorite that can't go wrong with my kiddie taste buds. The beef soup is just a clear broth with a few slices of beef but the meat portions are reasonable and the flavor is good as the Taiwanese cuisine likes to use ginger to wash away the bloody taste of beef. The half meat half tendon beef noodle soup came out the latest and compared to the Flaming Ox Taiwanese Noodle in San Jose, we could immediately tell the difference. I don't particularly enjoy the flavor of the Sichuan pepper, so I don't appreciate their 23 spices recipe. The tendon was cooked nicely but the beef was clearly losing to Flaming Ox as the cut was smaller and the meat much rougher. As usual, this place was packed at lunch hour, so be here before 12 is still a sound advice.

    G8. Pork Meat Sauce On Rice
    Sarah K.

    We arrived right at opening for dinner on a Saturday and already saw families flocking in, so it clearly has strong word-of-mouth appeal. The menu is extensive but not overwhelming, and everything we ordered came out surprisingly fast, keeping the energy high even as it got busy. We tried a good variety, including century egg, fried chicken, fried fish cakes, noodles, and rice dishes. I enjoyed all of them, though they leaned on the sweeter side overall, which gave the whole meal a cohesive, indulgent vibe. A Taiwanese person in our party noted that the flavors felt more like "fast food" style Taiwanese eats rather than traditional home cooking, and he found it too sweet for his taste. Still, that perspective added to the fun of sharing different takes on the food. It does get packed quickly, so plan accordingly, but the speedy service means table turnover isn't too long. Plenty of parking in the plaza makes it easy to access, especially for larger groups or families.

    Ryan L.

    Delicious beef noodle soup and fried rice! The broth is super rich and savory, you can tell it's been simmering for a while, and the noodles had that perfect chew. Fried rice came out hot and a little smoky, every bite had egg and veggies, not was not greasy at all! Staff was chill, food came fast, and prices felt fair. Low-key place I'd totally come back to when I'm craving comfort food.

We were looking to catch up in person on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. All tables were full and there were a couple of other parties waiting inside when we walked in, but the wait for a table was not bad at all. It is on the noisier side since the clientele is primarily Asian, and service tends to be short since that's what would be considered authentic. I got the beef noodle soup with the wide noodles since it was a chilly day and I wanted something warm. In the past I've gotten the tomato and eggs sauce noodles, which was very tasty and not a bad option for a hot day as the noodles themselves come out cold. Make sure to bring some floss if you get the beef noodle soup, some of the meat gets stuck in my teeth every time. Service does tend to be short so don't expect anyone to wait around for you to order or extra pleasantries. But this isn't surprising given the type of restaurant so it didn't detract from the meal. The check comes to you when you're about done so there is no need to flag anyone down after finishing. I would definitely revisit if I have cash on hand and am in the area. I would recommend this spot to anyone interested in authentic Chinese noodles, hot or cold.

Beef Brisket Rice Noodle - rice noodle itself was a bit on the thick/tough side compared to the thin, soft yet chewy texture at some restaurants.

Adding some of the soy sauce at the table gave some savory sweetness to the dish which I recommend. Sampan Congee - Flavor was really good, and the peanuts were a great add to this given its crispy texture and savory taste. The congee itself was pretty standard and not the most velvety texture I'd prefer, but still pretty decent. Curry fish balls and pork skin - has a kick, decent curry flavor. No complaints as it was pretty good fish balls and pork skin. Service was super fast and friendly. Would recommend if you're craving some congee and rice noodles.
