    Noodle Stop SF Noriega: Exterior
    Melanie C.

    Food: 3.0 | Service: 4.75 | Ambiance: 3.50 Hours: M-T-W: 10AM-2:30PM THU-F-SA-SU: 10AM-10PM NOODLE STOP at Noriega & 21st Avenue, off 19th Avenue offers plethora of Cantonese fresh noodles soups, plates, and appetizers. Homey comfort noodle soups. Regulars are the norm here. C5 - BRAISED PORK TROTTERS & BEEF BRISKET LO MEIN, BABY BOK CHOI, GREEN ONION GARNISH. Accompanied w/bowl of the house broth. The broth was okay but a bit too much white pepper for me. And I like white pepper. Flavors were meh but both pork trotters and beef brisket could have been more tender. Especially the pork trotters. Their HOUSEMADE CHILI OIL saved the day! A23 - GREEN ONION PANCAKES (葱油饼) - This was light, nice and crispy, not too oily. Tasty but not sure housemade. LO PAU BEI (SWEETHEART CAKE 老婆饼) - Not sure if they offer this regularly but looked good and fresh. Fillings were TRADITIONAL WINTER MELON, COCONUT, CHESTNUT, UBE, RED BEAN, SESAME. Took home two each of TRADITIONAL WINTER MELON, COCONUT, UBE! If in the neighborhood, I'd do a return visit for their variety of fresh noodles alone and other combos. P.S. I did take home some of that HOUSEMADE CHILI OIL!

    Came here to warm up with some hot soup after a cold round of golf. Everyone wanted something hot to eat. This is in our neighborhood Sunset District but have never tried Noodle Stop. It is a nice casual restaurant. Menu is very extensive and took us awhile to go through all the choices. They have a Monday-Friday before 2:30 pm special combo which includes 1 hot drink. Many noodle options to choose from too. The ambiance is typical no thrills but clean. Customer service was good and they put tables together for the 7 of us. They kept refilling our hot tea too. It was not crowded as it was a little late for lunch and they never rushed us out either. I only took pictures of my order of Combo C4 Minced Pork with Rice Noodle and A1 Hong Kong Style Won Ton Noodle Soup. I took a picture of the dish next to me, but not sure exactly what it was on the menu, but she said it was good. Everyone ordered the small portions since it was so late for lunch but everything came out piping hot and it was enough to fill you up. They sell their homemade hot sauce and we got to try some served with our order. It's is definitely very HOT! Overall food was good, service was good, prices are decent. We all enjoyed the food and just might be back again since the menu is so extensive.

    Neighborhood restaurant serving comfort Cantonese somewhat fast food. Has weekday lunch specials. We had the: - Combo C: Fish Jook with Chinese Fried Doughnut. $2 off regular hour prices. Had better fish (has skin) and tastier Jook elsewhere. Dip the doughnut in the Jook / Porridge for contrast, crunchy doughnut and smooth soupy Jook. - Combo D:! Beef Stew Rice Roll with Milk Tea, also $2 lower than during regular hours. Not much stew but braised meat was nice and soft. - Beef Curry over Noodles, spicy... Restaurant is a version of Cantonese fast food. Also has desserts. Old school 60s ambiance, blue collar vibe with inexpensive food. Not the highest in quality but good for the price.

    Braised duck leg wonton thick noodle soup (noodles were soggy!!)
    Allena C.

    As always, we couldn't decide where to eat, so we just parked the car on Noriega and walked around, hoping something would pique our interest. We landed at Noodle Stop, a hole-in-the-wall, no frills joint. We've been here before, but it looks as if the menu has expanded. It used to be a simple and limited menu. We were able to grab a table on a Friday night at about 6 pm. Service is fast and efficient. GAI LAN WITH OYSTER SAUCE ~ A bit overcooked, so the texture was soft. They gave us a dish of oyster sauce on the side. 3/5 BRAISED DUCK LEG WONTON THICK NOODLE SOUP ~ My guy ordered this. It was in a slightly spicy curry-type broth with wide egg noodles, which were overcooked and soggy! The duck leg wasn't large enough to be the star of the show. The majority of what was in the bowl was soggy noodles. They are generous with their offering, but execution needs improvement. 2.5/5 STEWED BEEF BRISKET WITH PORK FEET GUILIN RICE NOODLE SOUP ~ This was my dish. The guilin noodles were cooked just right, and the beef brisket and pork feet were tender and flavorful. It was on point and perfect for SF's chilly evening weather. (Just a note for those who are allergic to peanuts, they are added to the Guilin noodle soup bowls.) 4/5 PORK INTESTINE GUILIN RICE NOODLE SOUP ~ My friend ordered this, and I tried a bit of the pork intestine as I've never had it before. It has an acquired flavor and taste! Eating one was okay, but I don't think I could eat a whole bowl of it! It had a good chewy texture, but I wasn't used to the taste. He liked it, so that's all that mattered. 4/5 Some dishes were cooked perfectly, while others were overcooked. There is only one chef in the kitchen, so when there are many orders to fill and not enough assistance, food doesn't turn out as it should. With a name like Noodle Stop, your noodles need to be cooked perfectly! Hit or miss with that one!

    Seafood lo-mein
    Ryan R.

    Stopped by this small noodle shop one night after picking up a friend from the airport. Even after 9:00 PM, they had a good amount of seating available and a relaxed, quiet atmosphere. I ordered the Seafood Lo Mein, which was a generous spread--it came with veggies, fried calamari, shrimp, a seafood cake, and a side of soup. Everything was very tasty (or maybe I was just starving? Hehe though I'm pretty sure it was just great food!). The service was excellent; the staff members were incredibly kind. I also really loved the vibe of the place, especially the butterfly wall and the street sign decor. I'll definitely be back to try the Curry Duck Leg Soup next time!

    Pork intestine and wonton Guilin noodle soup
    Tiffany L.

    Came to Noodle Stop and was really impressed with their Guilin noodle soup. The portion was huge, and there were plenty of toppings, which made it feel very worth it. I really enjoyed the noodles and would definitely recommend giving them a try. There's a good amount of seating in the restaurant, and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time.

    It's like I'm dining in Hong Kong Wow these noodles really brought me back to my HK trip. Okay here goes, I highly recommend their Cantonese Style number 9, wonton noodles which has different wontons with abalone, crab, and shrimp. It was super fresh and Hella good. But let's get to the star of the show, tge hot sauce and potstickers. When the lady asked me if I wanted 4 or 10, I quickly said 10 thinking if I didn't finish it, I could air fry them later. The potstickers didn't even make it past 5 minutes. I ate them ALL. Super fresh and crispy and with that sauce, the bomb! It was gone in a flash. My coworker's beef intestine and pig feet soup looked intense. Everything was great and we are sooo addicted to the hot sauce and their pot stickers. We bought 2 batches to go and the chili sauce. That's how good it was.

    The wings had a yummy curry taste and fries were good. Only weird thing was we asked for garlic fries substitute and they said no!
    Karen T.

    The chicken wings had a hint of curry flavor, they were juicy and crispy. The only odd thing was we asked for garlic fries to substitute the regular and they said No! But why? We even said we would pay extra. Well I would come back to try other dishes. Other peoples soup noodles looked good.

    New hours, new specials menu and time. Seems like business is slower during the week reflected in their new business hours. No frills, Hong Kong spot. Wonton, jook, and milk tea are all tasty. Service is pretty standard Chinese place.

    Wonton is not cooked. Pork inside and you cant under cooked wonton.
    Olee L.

    Never so angry. Wonton is not cooked. Soup is hot but wonton is lukewarm. We were hungry so just have to eat only the wonton skin. Split out all pork filling. This shop need to be retrain all staff about food safety. Teenager can boil dumplings and at lease cook it through in water. Horrible. Never again! Bathroom is clean and service is good. Hence 2 stars.

    The noodles were flavorful, satisfying, and cooked just right, with generous portions and great seasonings!

    Came here to try a new noodle spot with friends!! The ambiance is nice and cozy, and the service is great as well! We ordered our food and drinks pretty quickly, and they came to our table relatively fast too. We got the curry duck noodle, "noodle stop" seafood noodle, and savory rice noodles with peanut sauce! The food was delicious, and the portions were so big! My favorite dish had to be the seafood noodle - the shrimp, calamari, and dumplings were friend on top of the egg noodles, and they give you soup on the side that you pour into the dish yourself! My friend got the hot milk tea and I got the hot honey lemonade, and we both loved our drinks! The hot honey lemonade was definitely on the sweeter side, but it was very good nonetheless. Overall, this was a great noodle spot to stop by and eat - complete with both noodles and hong-Kong style drinks :)

    Great, no frills wonton noodle shop in the sunset district, I stumbled upon a lunch spot with friends on a random Saturday. The menu is very extensive, but id stick with the Cantonese style noodle soups here. Most people here ordered the wonton noodle soup and rice noodle rolls. I ordered a hot soymilk which could've been warmer, it felt like they just microwaved the cup so not sure how fresh the soymilk actually was. Rice noodles were just ok, and the broth could've had a bit more flavor. Service for HK style cafe was not bad and pretty attentive

We arrived about 30 minutes after opening and waited roughly another 30 minutes before we could order at the kiosk and get seated. The restaurant is very small with only about a dozen seats. You wait until a seat opens up before ordering, so depending on availability, you may end up sitting alongside other parties. The whole setup and atmosphere reminded me so much of the small soba restaurants I visited in Japan and added to how authentic the experience felt. I ordered the Tenzaru Soba with Omakase Tempura and was genuinely impressed. The soba portion was incredibly generous, and I left very full. The noodles were some of the most authentic soba I've had in California, and I ate every last bit. Everything felt simple, carefully made, and satisfying. Parking is street parking only, but we were able to find a spot nearby and walk over. I would absolutely come back to Sobakatsu, just with the expectation that there may be a wait.

They definitely try their best to keep the line moving and one of the main ways it seems is to highly encourage guests to look at the menu while they are waiting in line outside so as soon as they are seated they can place their order and then eat quickly so then they can vacate the seat for the next person. Because this is exactly what happened to us. Also they have written warnings and they do tell you that their policy is everybody must order their own entree there's no splitting. I wouldn't call the servers overly friendly ( we had to flag them down to order drinks after our food was served) but the food came out quickly and the orders were accurate and it tasted amazing. I have never seen MATCHA flavored Ramen anywhere else and since I'm a matcha girly, you know I had to try the Duck Matcha Ramen. When asked, the waitress was honest and said "people who like matcha, like it." Happily I am one of those people and I did like it! If you've got 45 minutes to an hour to kill chatting with your friends in line and don't mind slipping down your Ramen quickly in tight quarters then you should give this place a try.

Saki was the first order of business, with an excellent recommendation from our service (sweetest person ever) Dry and not too sweet. So early we jumped right into the happy hour appetizers. The Brussels were dreamy, the chicken was pure perfection and the gyoza spectacular. Also dove into the octopus balls (not literally )and they were ridiculous. We also ordered the Niki Ramen that had us in "we can't stop eating, mode. The broth was incredible and the shaved pork just over the top!

Granted, we came in around 9 PM, about an hour before closing, so we understood that the kitchen was getting toward the end of the night. We ordered a few dishes to share and there were actually some highlights. The scallops: These were great! Easily one of the better dishes we ordered. The karaage chicken: The chicken itself had great flavor, but the creamy sauce on top was extremely rich and ended up overpowering the chicken. I think with less sauce, this could have been a really good dish. Now, the ramen: This is where I was genuinely left speechless. I don't think I've ever had ramen with absolutely no umami. Like, none. It was one of the strangest things I've ever tasted. I was biting into something, there were textures in my mouth, it smelled great... but that was it. No depth. No richness. No umami. The broth, meat, and even the noodles somehow had almost no flavor. The only thing that really came through was the greasy chili oil that lingered on your tongue afterward. After a couple of bites, we looked at each other and decided to leave. At that point, most of the food was still sitting on the table practically untouched. Maybe we caught the kitchen on an off night, especially coming in later in the evening. The scallops showed us that there's definitely potential here, but unfortunately, the ramen was such a miss that it overshadowed the rest of the meal for us.
