It's 2025 and I never would have guessed that I'd be reviewing TWO hand pulled noodles restaurants in TWO separate malls! Life is good. I've been to the stand alone Duan Chun Zhen restaurant in Cupertino and thoroughly enjoyed their rich, flavorful broth with just enough portion to prevent you from overeating. I'm a big fan of that location and a coworker mentioned that their family lives in front of the original location in Taiwan. I was surprised to see this location pop up at Oakridge! Broth was the same beefy and hearty taste and I believe there were several different noodle options. I chose the thicker hand pulled noodles, which I think stands up better to the savory broth. I finished my meal, ordered another to go order for my dad, and it was packed nicely separated so the noodles wouldn't soak up the broth. Like the other noodle place I reviewed, I wish the noodles weren't served in plastic to go containers, but I understand that there are limitations to what you can do at the mall. Cheers to this location, mega props to the guy/owner? who took the time to explain the menu to me. I think it is important to have at least one person around to explain such a menu. I'm going to try one of the rice dishes I've been looking at for some time now... read more

Tried Duan's Kitchen at Oakridge Mall food counter with my parents and broth. Didn't know what to expect since it was at the food court. It was a pleasant surprise. The beef and tendon were very tender, hand made thick noodles chewy, nice broth. But, my favorite was the fried rice with pork chop - the rice had really good flavor and texture , pork chop real tender. The wonton in chili oil was very flavorful. We got the meal which included an egg roll, some cucumber and a winter melon lemonade. Servers were friendly and the food was hot- it did take a little time to get the food . Give them a try read more

A friend dragged me here to this little catering spot on Blossom Hill and wow, delicious food and fast service for real. Original food from Taiwan, great taste and good services. The braised beef noodle soup (红烧牛肉面) was super rich, broth full of flavor, beef so tender it almost fell apart :) Also tried the shrimp fried rice (虾仁炒饭) and the wok hei was on point, big juicy shrimp in every bite. Portions solid, staff quick and friendly. Definitely coming back for my Taiwan food fix! read more

Duan’s Kitchen - Egg rolls - Noodles Near Me - San Jose, California

I tried out Duan's Kitchen located inside Oakridge mall. I had to use the kiosk to order my meal. It took about 15 minutes for my food to be ready. Xiao Long Bao - (Soup Dumplings): There was no soup inside these dumplings, and it tasted a bit dry. I enjoyed the dipping sauce which made it taste better. I would not recommend this dish. Chinese Donut - This was over fried, and it didn't have the soft chewy texture inside. It was just crunchy and dry. I would not recommend. Original beef noodle soup - I chose hand pull noodle, which was chewy. The beef was thinly sliced and not the beef shank in other Taiwanese places. The broth was lacking in flavor. It really tasted like noodles mixed in a bunch of chili oil. I would not recommend. Veggie Egg roll - This tasted ok. It reminded me of the frozen egg rolls from Costco. Overall, I was looking forward to this Taiwanese place, but it was a bit disappointing. The dishes are a bit pricey, too. read more

the popcorn chicken is perfect, would recommend. The service is very nice. The overall flavor is great! read more

Menu made it difficult to choose everything looks so good so i ordered the wontons with chili oil .. delicious

Overall, food was decent but expensive and food prep time was slow. Popcorn chicken (3/5): The taste of the chicken was good and the inside was tender, but the outer shell was soft and wasn't crispy at all. (Cost: $8) Pork belly noodle soup (5/5): These noodles were surprisingly good. The broth was rich and the noodles were delicious. There was also a decent portion of pork belly. (Cost: $17) Beef brisket dry noodles (2/5): The noodles were bland (which probably could've been solved with more sauce), and served in a bowl barely bigger than the popcorn chicken bowl which made it hard to mix the noodles and the sauce. We got a meal, so it also came with a side of two eggrolls and a winter melon lemonade, both of which were good but nothing to write home about. (Cost: $18.99) The store is located in the middle of the Oakridge Mall food court and uses a touchscreen display for ordering. The food came out in about 25 minutes which was pretty slow by food court standards, especially since it didn't seem that busy. All in all, a decent noodle place but nothing special. read more

I ordered the spicy wonton and Sui Mai. Tasted very fresh like restaurant quality food

I was craving hand-pulled noodles but didn't want to drive all the way to Cupertino or Milpitas, so I decided to give this place a try. I didn't know what to expect, as it was located inside the Westfield Oakridge Mall food court. After ordering on the kiosk, it took about 15-20 min to receive my order, which felt like an eternity as I was in a "fast food" setting and it looked like there was only one person waiting in front of me. I got the Braised Beef Brisket Noodle Soup with hand-made noodles for $18. They separated the noodles from the soup, which was nice. However, the broth was mediocre and a bit greasy, and the noodles tasted rubbery. Overall, pretty disappointing. Even considering the food court factor, it was overpriced and poor quality. Next time I'm craving noodle soup, I'll just make the drive to a sit-down restaurant. read more

Duan’s Kitchen - Braised Beef Brisket Noodle Soup w/ hand-made noodles (they separate the noodles from the soup!) - Noodles Near Me - San Jose, California

I'm Asian, and the texture of rice is very important to us. I bought two braised pork rice bento boxes for $7.99 each at this shop. The side dishes were okay, but the rice texture was terrible. It was very hard, almost like leftover rice from the edge of the pot. Both boxes had the same issue. I wouldn't recommend it. read more

The delicious fry rice totally hit the spot, perfectly seasoned and not greasy at all, and the noodles are nice as well, chewy with a good sauce coating each strand. Portions are solid for the price, easy to share. Great spot if you want delicious food without a long wait, I'd definitely come back :) read more

Yay, fairly new noodle soup place at Oakridge. Their fresh thick cut noodles are great. Higher quality than you would expect at a food court place. I've tried the beef noodle soup and tomato beef noodle soup. There is the option to get those without the meat which I always do because I like the meat flavored soup but don't actually like eating the meat and generally just feel pressured to eat the meat because, well, I'm Asian. So it feels good to be able to save a few bucks and not feel forced to eat the meat!  The two noodle soups I've tried are flavorful. Not mind blowing, but again, really pretty good for a food court restaurant. I also tried the winter melon lemonade-- no bueno-- overpriced and not at all delicious. Somehow the way they mix the drink makes both the winter melon and the lemonade each taste not as good. Would rather get a purely winter melon or purely lemonade instead of this. Do not recommend. Service is surly, but this is what I expect at Oakridge. This is the new place I always gravitate towards when hitting up Oakridge around lunchtime, and I foresee it being so for a while. read more
