We may have just found our favorite Taiwanese restaurant - we were alerted to this place after seeing the name at Great Mall and decided to give it a try. To our pleasant surprise, despite the low rating on yelp, it was a great experience. A clean, wide interior that makes dining enjoyable and kind customer service. We ordered braised beef brisket noodle soup which had a flavorful and not too overpowering taste and was not spicy, which was good for the kiddos. We also got xiao long bao which was pretty good, and egg fried rice with pork chops, that was really good and our son wolfed down. We'll definitely come back! read more

Came here for a small gathering after a friend recommended their catering and it did not disappoint! The place is clean and hygienic, super spacious, and there's convenient parking right out front, which is a big win in Cupertino. Staff were so friendly and patient while we figured out what we wanted, really chill vibe :) The inside environment is very nice, tidy and comfortable, you actually want to hang around. The food and service was amazing and I would definitely recommend coming here. Totally coming back for our next event! read more

Heart warming Taiwanese beef noodle soup :) I love the firm and chewy texture of the noodles, the tang of the tomato and the softness of the tendon and shank. read more

Came here for dinner and it was not busy at all. The interior was new and clean. This place shares the parking lot with Marina Food supermarket so parking wasn't an issue. I got the braised beef shank noodle soup ($17) and also the braised side dish ($9.99) to share with friends. The food came quickly. The braised side dish was a lot smaller than advertised and I thought it was just alright. The beef noodle soup was decent but the portion was small, so it wasn't really worth the price. read more

Beef noodle soup is good and make sure to get the pickled veggies with it. The pork chop is very good as well. Drink you should get the winter melon lemonade read more

My family and I celebrated here. First time here and we really enjoyed the food. Hand made noodles and the service was top notch!

Yummy so delicious! Everything came out so quickly and tasted so good. Inside was clean and parking was easy to find. 10/10!

Duan's Kitchen was amazing! As a Taiwanese person myself this definitely was a taste of home. It was so nostalgic eating the same beef noodle soup and 豬 肉 燥 飯. Everything was extremely delicious and authentic. Highly recommend! read more

Friends and i wanted to try something new. Came here and ordered braised beef with tendons. Disappointed with the little beef and tendon portion we got for the price $$$. When the bill came, they calculated the tip on top of the total and not on the subtotal. That is not the correct way. In my opinion, there's nothing special and nothing to brag about. Only that it's overpriced for what you get. I understand the inflation but not like this. And adding the tip on top of the total and not the subtotal is called greediness. As for cleanliness, it's clean and spacious. Restrooms are ok. It gets loud. There's music in the background. This place is just , Ehhh! read more

Delicious beef noodle soup! I get the shank and tendon soup, with their pork chops and side dishes. Really good Taiwanese food.

The food was really good and came out pretty quickly. Service was fast and the staff were friendly. I would definitely recommend this place!

Ordered the shrimp fried rice and beef noodle soup! It was delicious and very flavorful. The seating is very spacious and calm. The service was fast and workers are friendly and observant. Definitely coming back again! read more

We got immediately seated on a Friday evening. The interior design was quite nice- gives the Japanese wooden minimalist vibe. I liked how the menu gave combo options where you can add an appetizer and a drink. I got the chongqing noodles with wintermelon drink and the tofu preserved egg appetizer. The drink was quite sweet, but I guess that is to be expected of a wintermelon drink. The tofu and preserved egg was the highlight. I really enjoyed this dish! However, I was really disappointed by the chongqing noodle. It wasn't cheap, but I barely got any noodle, there was barely any ingredient (only half an egg and two bok choy leaves..not even a full bok choy, and some green onion ), and there was no flavor other than being spicy. Yes the picture of the noodles is before I ate it, but it looks quite lacking. The Chongqing noodles were def not their specialty, but this disappointment will probably keep me from coming back. read more

Delicious and authentic Taiwanese noodle soup with friendly staff. Serving was attentive and quick as well.

This is our #1 Taiwanese beef noodle place in the bay. Their soup is uniquely flavored unlike any beef noodle soup that's soy sauce based. Their beef shank is soft and tender, the soup is flavorful and spicy. Highly recommend if you like Taiwanese style beef noodle soup. read more

The atmosphere was great and the servers were super nice and friendly. Great spot for beef noodle soup and their fried rice is seasoned and cooked perfectly. Must try. read more

Came here at the recommendation of a Taiwanese friend who said it was the best available Taiwanese beef noodle soup restaurant in the area. Ordered the bowl with three different kinds of beef cuts in it. Not bad overall, and beef was well cooked. Noodles were nice and al dente. The only thing that holds this back from a 5 -- I could tell that they had diluted the broth with water, as the flavors felt like they were being held back. I make Taiwanese beef noodle soup myself at home so it was fairly obvious what was happening. Would have liked to try the broth at full strength but get the economic aspects of running a restaurant. Gets pretty busy at lunch but we didn't really have to wait either which is great! read more

Great vibrant environment, definitely try the dry noodles it's very good!! Restrooms are also clean

Quick, simple and professional service for pickup. The least oily and least salty fried rice I've had from a restaurant, felt healthy in a great way. The pork chops are also not oily fried but still had flavor. Not enough ingredients in fried rice but I'm not going to complain for $13. Would dine-in -- bright and homey interior. read more

Duan Chen Zhen is a Taiwanese chain that specializes in delicious and affordable Taiwanese noodle soups and side dishes. The interior is quite beautiful and I like the way the restaurant has a combination of alcoves, solo tables, and booth seating. For my fellow tomato soup enjoyers, my favorite item on the menu is the tomato beef shank noodle soup. It is, by far, one of the best noodle soups I've ever had. For noodle options, I personally love the wide, flat handmade noodles but you can't go wrong with your noodle selection. Another dish that I would recommend is the combo which comes with vegetables, rou zhao fan (braised ground meat rice bowl), and a small bowl of gingery, refreshing beef soup. The $18 I spent on this combo lasted me 2 whole meals The service is similar to my experience in Asia. After eating, you go up to the counter and pay for your food. No need to wave down a waiter once you're done eating. read more

1. Jan 10, 2026 take out order. The beef broth has become diluted, it's too thin and lacks flavor. Doesn't see beef shank has tendon in it of Classical beef noodle soup. Half shank half tendon beef noodle soup only has one piece of beef and three pieces tendons in it. The quality of beef counts control is not consistent, like one Classical beef noodle soup has 2 pieces of beef shank and another bowl has 5 pieces of beef shank on my previous order. 2. The golden kimchi is too little, looks like only enough for few bites. 3. Web order forced me to join points. 4. Everything else is good. I like Duan's Kitchen beef noodles, hoping they keep the same standard as when Duan's Kitchen opened in the beginning. All the best! read more

It's an awesome restaurant from Taiwan. Must try beef noodle, it won't disappoint you. read more

Solid Chinese noodle house chain store (coming from Taiwan), especially if you're looking to sate that aromatic spicy craving...though service can get a bit slow during their peak busy hours. Service is rather typical of Chinese establishments in its brusque yet efficient manner, but they got food out in pretty good time (15min) for the basics. They did forget our kimchi until we reminded them much later though (and nobody was by to check up on us) so be ready to push for things as they come. ==Sichuan Mala Beef shank noodle soup 4/5 - Mala flavors are very much on point with a strong heat and a nice aroma, though it did feel a bit "one-note" as the depth wasn't quite there. You can pick noodle type (thin, thick, and handpulled), but I'm a sucker for handpulled noodles, so I went with that. Verdict? Pretty good. Not fantastic in terms of chewiness, but solidly good. Paired with the very tender shank and you got yourself a happy camper for a fast meal. ==Braised beef noodle soup 4/5 - Although the broths look basically the same, turns out they're different in flavor profile. The signature house beef broth was slightly better than the sichuan mala in terms of depth so I was actually fond of the non-spicy one more. Good serving size of shaved braised beef brisket. Same consistency for handpulled noodles as the other bowl, so solidly good texture. ==Combo sides 4/5 - Golden kimchi was nicely tart, but definitely much sweeter than I'd have expected. Cuts through the greasy heat well, but would have liked less sugar. The drinks were great though and definitely hit the spots as well balanced asian drinks (I opted for Winter Melon Lemonade, brother got a Plum juice). read more

I've been going to this place for a while. Really good and authentic taiwanese beef noodle soup!

Went back again for a quick dinner. For a weekend during dinner, this place does not get very busy. My party was seated immediately and there were plenty other empty tables. Staff is pretty quick to take your order and bring our food - however when trying to flag down wait staff, the staff member behind the counter would notice us but not take any action. My party had better luck flagging down someone else. I got the beef brisket with the thin noodles this time. I enjoyed eating the thin noodles much more than the handmade noodles. I finished the whole bowl which is unusual - they might give less food than other noodles places in the area. They gave us the bill and ran our card NOT at the table this time. The problem I mentioned previously where they watch you as you tip was not an issue this time. read more

We came here and ordered their two people combo both times. It came with the beef & tendon noodle soup, a shrimp fried rice, a fried pork chop, a plate of lettuce with braised sauce, a pickled cucumber appertizer, and two drinks for ~$55. My favorite item was the shirmp fried rice! It was really yummy! It was a good treat! Everything was delicious! I do not recommend their milk teas here, but I'm not going to complain if it comes with the combo. We will definitely be back! They can get really busy during lunch and dinner times, but we happened to beat the crowd both times. read more
