    Clean, good seating, limited menu, soft opening so limited drink items right now , have guest wifi, and charger ports, no tipping, self-service, trending music. The menu is very limited currently.

    Spicy garlic noodles

    This is like Chinese style aburasoba but you pick your own toppings. You choose between about 6 different plain noodle bases. Afterwards, you add all your meat and veggies and everything is ala cart. The more you add the more you pay.(chicken, beef, shrimp, peas, corn, spinach, etc...) In a few minutes, you get a text and you pick up the food at the front. The GOOD - Noodles were really chewy and bouncy. Perhaps my favorite texture I had here so far in the bay. (5/5 for the texture) - Usb chargers on the wall for convenience. The BAD - I don't think the worker spoke English but you can easily go to the kiosk and figure it out. - The food was luke warm/room temperature(i think it's supposed to be like this) - No free tap water option that I could find. Overall, I would go back to the place strictly for the bouncy noodles. Next time, I would try a different flavor. The spicy garlic was good but I think it's worth trying other flavors. The customer service was a bit lacking but it's probably the language barrier. Arrived there around 7:30pm Monday and the place had one other customer.

    Self service everything. Love the charging ports!

    The noodles are chewy, just the way I like them. Watched them make it fresh! Not sure why others say it's super expensive because it's actually cheaper than most ramen or pho places, $11.99+. Taking off one star because you can't order online. They have a page but it only lets you order the most basic noodles.

    Noodles were good but everything else is meh. You order at a tablet at the counter. You choose what sauce you want and then add toppings if you want. Topping all cost extra (e.g. chicken, beef, spinach, etc.). Alfredo sauce was a bit salty for me. To go orders are packed in a compostable container. Noodles were sticking to the container when we brought it home to eat.

    Tomato sauce noodle with popcorn chicken

    Hate to do this to a new place, but this was one of the worst places I've ever eaten. Popcorn chicken was cold/mushy. Don't know how they didn't even microwave it. Cooked spinach was also cold. Wife got a dish with some beef in it, also cold. Only good thing was the noodle texture, but it gets ruined by the terrible tomato sauce. I give this place maybe 6-8 months before they close, unless they have some huge investor backing them.

    One Piece Lamian specializes in Chinese noodle dishes, all with an efficient QR code ordering…read moresystem and super quick service. We started with the One Piece Mixed Salad (tofu skin, vermicelli noodles, woodear mushrooms, carrots, celery, seaweed, and peanuts, all mixed in a savory, acidic, and spicy dressed ) and the Shredded Potato Salad, both of which made for nice appetizers. We also had the Cold Skin Noodles (Liangpi), a bowl of wide, chewy noodles mixed with a savory sauce and topped with tofu puffs, shredded cucumber , bean sprouts, and a creamy sesame sauce. Hailing from Xi'an, the Braised Pork Pita Burger was fatty pieces of pork braised in a savory sauce, served in a dry round of "pita," but even better was the Spicy Cumin Lamb Pita Burger, which contained a tantalizingly spicy, flavorful filling of tender spiced lamb. The Signature Beef Bone Noodle Soup came with noodles in a simple broth, topped with three bone-in beef ribs. The meat on the ribs was rather tough and sinewy, and the soup on the bland side, but the presentation of the dish was definitely impressive. Finally, the House Special Braised Dry Noodle was a bowl of noodles topped with a savory sauce with lots of different dried ingredients including tofu, s mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and red bell peppers. For each noodle dish, you could select from a variety of noodles, but my favorite by far was the 2cm "General Wide" noodles, which had an amazing chewy texture. Overall, this was a great restaurant for authentic Northern Chinese noodle dishes and other eats. Everything came out from the kitchen in just minutes after we ordered. The tasty dishes came at a good value, and the service was super friendly too!

    Was going to another noodle place but it seems it was no longer there so we decided come here to…read moresince it is in the same plaza. This is not our first time here. There seems to have some menu change since the last time we came. We ordered 2 dry noodles and a cold spicy pig ears appetizer. The pig ears were piled up with no fillers - something hard to find these days. You can select the type of noodles so I picked the widest while my husband picked the middle one. I love the el dente texture of the noodles giving it a bit of chew. My braised pork belly dry noodles was not dry... very watery which was not to my liking. I want my dry noodles with as little gravy as possible. The flavor was light despite all the gravy, but the veggies and one egg made it up. The house special dry noodles had just the right amount of gravy for taste but not enough ingredients. I was wondering why the restaurant is called One Piece... I guess the entire bowl of noodles is one piece noodle as it was hard to eat as all the noodles are tangled. No complaints here just need to be careful with the splashes on your shirt. Overall the food was good, service was decent as we were offered actual menu instead of only using QR code to order. The place was not small with plenty of table. A bit noise as with all Chinese restaurants.

We ordered by scanning a QR code and chose the noodles with pickles and spicy dumplings. The dumplings were so good when doused in the chili oil! The soup was comforting also.

The staff here is all business, and honestly? I love them for it. It just means fewer interruptions when you're having a deeply emotional moment with your soup. Because the second your bowl hits the table, you realize this place is something special. The hand-pulled noodles are an absolute revelation. They are masterfully prepared, fresh ribbons of dough that have that perfect, elusive chewiness you only get from people who have turned noodle-making into a legitimate art form. Then there's the broth. It is deeply savory, complex, and tastes like it's been simmering with ancient secrets and a whole lot of love. It's the kind of soul-warming soup that instantly cures a bad day. But whatever you do, you must order the spicy wontons. Calling them "divine" honestly feels like a slight understatement. They are incredibly tender and bathed in this glorious, rich chili oil that delivers the exact right amount of kick without completely obliterating your taste buds. I would happily drink that sauce with a straw if it were socially acceptable. Ox 9 is a glowing reminder of what really matters in a great restaurant: insanely good food. Embrace the wonderfully speedy, no-nonsense vibe, dive into an unforgettable bowl of noodles, and leave completely full and happy. 10/10--a true Fremont gem that I will be returning to again and again.

    House ramen never misses, excellent broth to sip on upon arrival. The spicy tan tan ramen was…read moreheavy, good but would probably prefer not to have spice in my broth next time. The new fried gyoza had a nice crunch to it, but the sauce was a bit heavy, and would prefer the original gyoza next time. Great post workout meal! Appropriate attentive service. You can order traditionally via waiter/menu, or just scan the QR code on the table to minimize interactions. I like how they add new seasonal items on the menu and have a lot of options on the QR menu to accommodate various customer preferences. Note to self: the ramen bowl itself is filling enough, we had trouble finishing with 2 extra apps.

They have a parking lot available and parking is available along the side streets. The inside of the restaurant is decently sized and we were seated promptly on a weekday for dinner. You use the QR code at the table to order and pay, but you can also request a physical menu if that's easier. I opted for their spicy miso butter corn ramen and the chicken karaage. I forgot what my husband got, but it was another spicy ramen. Both tasted good, I'll say that right off the bat. My husband opted for level 2 spicy and he felt like he could push it higher next time. Overall, Hinodeya is a good place for solid ramen. The chicken karaage was okay, although it would've been nice to have a spicy mayo sauce or something to accompany it. The matcha salt was different, but didn't really add much to the dish for us.

Don't let the fair pricing fool you, it is a really nice restaurant!! The interior is incredibly clean & well maintained, it's a whole experience having dinner there. After dinner (if you have children, this is key) they give you a scoop of ice cream, which is included with your dinner / lunch. I took my little daughter there once, for lunch, during daddy-daughter day. She REALLY enjoyed it. They have great meat options & the noodles, vegetables, etc - you go grab yourself, buffet style. So you go load a plate with whatever you'd like to add to your cook pot, along with the meat. They have little soft boiled quail eggs that you can add to your pot - HIGHLY recommend!! They have, if I recall, 4 or 5 different soup bases to choose from. I've had three thus far & they have all been incredibly good. PLEASE NOTE - the spicy one is no joke, I am a spicy food connoisseur & I will admit, even on my "0-10" scale, that red spicy soup base was easily an 8. Interestingly enough albeit very spicy, the red soup base has excellent flavor; in other words it's not just pure pain & terror & capsaicin overdose... It's spicy AND very flavorful. Give these guys a try!! We will definitely be returning, although this has to be more of a quarterly thing. As eating hot pot with little kids is NOT easy for parents - constantly making sure they don't spill boiling soup on themselves. What we did was asked for a bowl / plate; so we could serve the children the various meats, noodles, vegetables after they were cooked... Also to prevent the children from sticking spoons into a vigorously boiling pot. (SAFETY NOTE - the cook pots are directly in the table, built-in cooktops. So be vigilant with small children. The wait staff will give you a tutorial on how to increase/decrease the heat on the burner and/or how to shut it off when you're done cooking. Aside from my concern of the children burning themselves, it is an EXCELLENT experience for kids nevertheless).
