The jajangmyeon was pretty good and can't complain. Nothing special and nothing bad about it. We got the chili KFC and this is totally our fault. It was SO spicy. It was the Buldak spicy noodle level kind of spicy. My boyfriend expected it to be just a kick but it was VERY spicy. I took it home and shredded it to make a chili fried rice haha. The taste itself was very good though.

I was shocked to read about the long waitlist years ago and I never bother to put my name on it…read more Not only I have to wait for years but I also have to cook the noodles myself - thanks but no thanks - especially I spent way too much money on kickstarter for a series of failed projects/scams in the past. But my sister had enough faith in him that she put her name down in the waitlist a couple years ago. A few days before Valentine's day in 2026, my sister got the email asking her to confirm her order quantities and to pick up on Valentine's day. Apparently, my sister completely forgot her order. lol! This guy have more integrity than kickstarter projects and to keep his promise and to fulfill the orders!!! It's my first time having sweet water noodles. I have never visited Cheng Du in China (it's on my bucket list) so I cannot tell how authentic this really is. As a noodle dish, I really love it. I would buy the sauce itself and toss with any other noodles. (Business opportunity there!) The instruction to cook the noodles is super clear and it's a very simple and easy dish to make. If you can boil water in a pot, you can make the noodles based on the instruction with this noodles kit. The rice crispy gave an excellent crunch. (Now I can see why Paik Jong Won added the uncooked instant noodles crumbs from the package to a bowl of instant noodles). The noodles texture is lovely, it has a chewy (or the Taiwanese/Chinese known as "QQ") bite to it. The portion is quite generous too - it's one of those satisfying portions :) I don't think I want to wait for 2 years for this again. But when he opens the store or start selling the sauce, I will be there for sure!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE the dry fried chicken and the Szechuan spicy beef. The chicken is crispy, packed with flavor, and super addictive, while the spicy beef is rich, bold, and has that signature numbing kick from the Sichuan peppercorns. I usually also get the honey walnut shrimp when I want something a little sweeter to balance everything out, but if you're trying this place for the first time, you really can't go wrong with the dry fried chicken and Szechuan spicy beef. Just a heads up, it's not just spicy, it's that numbing heat, so definitely get some rice on the side.

We probably overwhelmed the staff as there was only one waiter and we noticed the room capacity was 49 patrons which we met. Management was kind enough to give us fried mini sesame balls on the house and fortune cookies too. It was a great luncheon had by all.

Yokohama Iekei Ramen is a solid, no frills ramen spot that keeps things simple…read more The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and it felt like the kind of place that might be run by the owners themselves, which adds a nice personal touch. The ramen comes out hearty and filling, with portions that lean on the large side. It is definitely the kind of bowl that sticks with you. That said, the overall flavor landed somewhere in the middle. Good enough to enjoy, but not especially memorable. Parking is a bit of a trade off. You can park for free in the garage next door, which is a big plus since street parking is almost nonexistent. The only catch is the short walk, which feels just a little longer than expected when all you want is a hot bowl of ramen. It is a comfortable spot with kind service and a filling meal, even if the ramen itself does not quite stand out.

Super dope!!!!!! My ultimate favorite aburasoba of all time! Brought my mom here to try Wagyu roast…read morebeef aburasoba and she approved this place! Some personal thoughts: If you want something light, or try to order for the elders, wagyu aburasoba is a better choice, since the meat is more lean and yogurt sauce help balance the richness. Homura aburasoba is also great, but minced pork is a bit fatty, and traditional sauce is also rich, so I normally find it hard to finish a bowl because I'm too full. Nevertheless, I don't say it's not great, do not order. What I meant is that if you have a preference for light food (like me), hate something too oily/ greasy or afraid of fat, wagyu aburasoba is always a better choice!

I got the potato salad and the zhajiangmian, and my boyfriend got the Lanzhou beef noodles and pork burger. I wish they put the components of the dish in the menu online so you could opt out, because both my zhajiangmian and potato salad came with bean sprouts (which I hate!!). I just picked through all of them and ate the remaining dish afterwards- the potato salad was yummy and the zhajiangmian was savory and came with lots of minced pork! My boyfriend enjoyed his Lanzhou beef noodles a lot, the beef was tender and the broth was incredibly flavorful and delicious. He liked the pork burger a lot as well, they did not skimp on the meat and the bun was fluffy! I would highly recommend this dish to anyone, it's a classic that is done well!

The menu is very simple with choices of broths and noodle thickness. There is a guy constantly hand pulling noodle. We ordered the following items : Lanzhou beef noodles with thin noodles mildly spicy. The broth was good the sliced beef was good. The thin noodles were overcooked. Sauerkraut fish set comes with a side of garlic cucumbers and two lamb skewers. The broth for the sauerkraut fish was good but the texture of the fish was weird. It's supposed to be snakehead fish but had a texture like frog. Spicy marinated potatoes strings was good Marinated wood ear fungus salad was excellent Nice clean interior. Street parking plus some small city lots are available. Service was good. Considering the speciality of hand pulled noodles the execution of the noodles was minus stars.

Michelle helped us with figuring out concealer color and breaking the tie in lip color. We ended up getting two drawings because of our purchase. On to the rest of the store. We got lunch boxes and they were meh. I like the banchan and the quantity of food, but the protein dishes were lacking in freshness - the eel was better than the kalbi, which was just lackluster at best. Will go for the sushi next time. I did score black rice and toasted black sesame seeds along with rice paper. And the gluten free baked goods of course. Until next time!

Upon entering, I noticed that it is a sister restaurant to the Lazhou Noodles but before we could change our minds, the hostess sat us (lol). I went with the main beef noodle soup, and we also tried the dry noodles with spicy beef. I was expecting the food to be very similar to their sister restaurant - BUT the food here was so much better I was SO surprised. The broth tasted better, the noodles were higher quality, and the beef was also much more tender and had less gristle. it made me wonder if it was a fluke or if this location was just that much better as this restaurant was also much more crowded versus the other locations. I can't wait to come back and bring friends, and though San Mateo is parking is not as friendly, the food experience definitely makes up for it!

Asked a server how big one bowl of noodles were and she made a small circle with her hands. When our order came out it was much bigger than what they described. If you're looking to share a bowl, one bowl is enough for two people. We got their No. 1 hand-pulled noodles with wide egg noodles and spicy heat level as well as their popcorn chicken with spice. First taste is always the broth and it was good but not the best I ever had. It was lacking more depth of flavor in the broth. There was only one spice level and while it was mild for me, could be a little spicy for others but nothing to worry about. The dry spice from the popcorn chicken definitely hits if you inhale it so be careful and it did make me break out into a mild sweat but it was ok.
