    S10. Spicy Chicken
    Rashmi N.

    Tried OK Noodles recently, and it's one of those small, casual spots with decent, simple decor--nothing fancy, but comfortable enough for a quick meal. Ordering is done via QR code, and the food is brought to your table, which makes the process pretty seamless. We started with the spicy cucumber salad, which was super refreshing and a great way to kick things off--light, crisp, and nicely balanced. Next were the house special wontons, served in a chili oil-based broth. The flavor was actually quite good--spicy, savory, and comforting--but the wontons unfortunately fell apart too easily, which took away from the overall experience. For mains, we ordered the spicy chicken, and this was hands down the highlight of the night. Juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and coated in just the right amount of spice--it was absolutely delicious and something I'd go back for without a doubt. We also tried the special hot oil noodles, which I've heard are one of their bestsellers. The noodles themselves were great--thick, chewy, and perfectly cooked--but the sauce lacked that punch or depth of flavor, making the dish feel a bit underwhelming. It might have just been an off day, but it didn't quite live up to the hype for us. One of the biggest challenges we faced was the menu. There are no descriptions of the dishes, which makes it quite difficult for first-timers or anyone not familiar with the cuisine to order confidently. We also didn't get much help from the host, likely due to a language barrier, which added to the confusion. Overall, the experience had its ups and downs, but the food--especially that spicy chicken--makes it worth a visit. I'd definitely go back, but I'd stick to what I know works.

    Hand pulled noodles for the win!! The noodles were so bouncy and this felt like such a comforting dish. Super homey and felt like we were family! Things I ordered: Big plate lamb noodles: the noodles were this super wide and flat noodle. The sauce was tangy spicy and there were potatoes, green bell peppers and onions all throughout. The sauce clung onto the noodles super well and the lamb was tender and they were so generous ! Cucumber salad: refreshing garlicky and crunchy! Perfect for these hot days and as a palate cleanser. I love cucumbers so this was such a win for me! Beef noodle soup: the broth is so clean and the meat is just so tender. The noodles pair so well as it's thinner and not as thick as the other dish. Everything here is a 10/10!

    Visited the new location on Abel, and haven't been since this restaurant was located in Fremont. Ordered the potstickers and braised beef noodle soup (mild spicy). The potstickers are not made in house: they're the Ajinomoto brand (you can get these from Costco - one serving is 6 potstickers) but they are fried well here. The beef noodle soup was a little light on the beef, but the noodles were the perfect QQ texture and the broth nicely seasoned.

    Went to ok noodle for lunch around 1:30, walked in and we were the only customer which was odd. The gentleman helped us setup but you mainly order from your phone. I've seen from the search that everyone gets the chili noodles which I couldn't find on the app. I had to order it personally from the waiter which was weird. The food came out fast with my buddy getting the lamb which he said had a real strong lamb flavor that was overpowering. The chili noodles were okay, nothing special. The chili wonton which I was wonton in chili sauce but in reality it was wonton in a soup. Overall not the best place for "pulled noodles" but not the worse, I'll say it's OK.

    Been here so many times because it's so yummy and comfort food. Service is great here and it's super easy to order online. Food comes out so fast and is always super tasty. Have yet to try something I don't like haha.

    Great wide, hand-pulled noodles with a nice chewy texture. When they say spicy, they really mean it. We ordered the Big Plate with Lamb (non-spicy), which was delicious and came with a rich, tomato-based sauce. We also tried the Special Hot Oil Noodles. That one had a slow, building heat which is not my forte. Service was friendly and fast. You can order either by scanning the QR code or directly through the waiter. They also use these unique chopsticks with a reusable base and disposable tips. That is something I've only seen here.

    I had high hopes for this spot Not sure if it was the day we went but once we came in, it was dark and it smelled a little off (kind of like the restroom ). I ordered the chili oil noodles with wide noodles, but it came out with regular noodles. I was like it's okay because it's the flavor that matters, but I found the flavor to be underwhelming We also ordered the braised beef soup noodles with wide noodles, and it did come out with wide noodles but the flavor was also underwhelming. Lastly, we ordered the potstickers which our server seemed to forget about, and it didn't come out even we were finished with our noodles, so I just took it to go. I have had this spot on my list for soooo long but was disappointed

    Their wide hand pulled noodles are some of the best I've had in the bay! They weren't too busy on a week night and the orders came out within 20 minutes. The beef hand pulled noodle soup was incredible, the broth flavorful and the noodles thick although there was not enough meat. The other order we had was delicious with minced beef and we loved the noodle texture. It was a bit spicy.

    I'm a fan! The noodles and food selections were "ok" (full pun intended) but very flavorful and quality. Speed of service and quality is great as well. Definitely a solid 4/5.

    Chili oil noodles w/ round noodles
    Jenny Y.

    Great place to get your noodle fix! I tried the chili oil noodles and beef noodle soup. Both round and wide noodles were cooked perfectly. If I had to choose, my preference would be the round noodles. Wide noodles can be a mouthful (highly recommend using the scissors to make it easier to eat). Both dishes have good flavors. The chili oil noodles, given its dry style, is more savory & you'd taste the spicy kick more (there's chili oil on the side for you to add extra). Pork is cooked well with it. I'd recommend the beef noodle soup if you're craving soup. Broth was drinkable, generous amount of tender braised beef. I always like the crunch from the bok choy in these dishes. Cucumber salad is really good. Nice refreshing and crunchy appetizer to have on the side. The owner/manager is friendly, gives a warm welcome once you walk in. He'd go around with water refills. Decent sized space! Good for solo, pair, or group dining. It's located in a plaza, so plenty of parking (nearby parking can be a hit or miss but it's nice to get some steps in after a good meal here)!

    Parking: huge lot, super easy Interior: Clean, decently large inside with plenty of tables. Good for large groups. Wait Time: None - i came on a weekday for dinner and there were only 2 other groups inside. Food took about 10-15min to arrive after ordering. Items Order: 7/10 Big plate noodles with lamb $22 - very misleading lol the plate itself is large but the amount of food is actually regular size. Not worth $22. In addition, my food came with metal scraps. Luckily I did not bite into it otherwise this would've been very bad. They replaced my meal but still not a great experience with the lost appetite. 8/10 Spicy beef noodle soup $17 - actually not spicy at all. Quality overall was good for broth, noodles, and meet so I would recommend this one. Update: got food poisoning, would not come back

    S5. Lamb Noodles
    kim d.

    All three of these dishes were genuinely amazing--the flavor, chew of the noodles, and the meat to noodle ratio was perfect! Very much a mom and pop shop! The lamb noodles were ratioed perfectly with the lamb being tender and extremely flavorful. The chili noodles were my favorite! The meat was super tender as well and flavorful--I don't think it was spicy, so I loved adding extra chili oil on top. I do wish there was more bop choy, but that's just a personal preference. Definitely marked to go back again!

    D2. Chili - Oil Noodles
    Kimm N.

    First time here. Didn't know there is a hand pulled noodle restaurant in this area. Some of the best hand pulled noodle I have ever had, had closed during pandemic. Glad to see more coming back now. We ordered tomato egg noodle, chili oil noodle and cucumber salad. The cucumber salad is garlicky and very sour (heavier vinegar based) than what you usually get from most other restaurants. Apparently it's the northwest China "xinjiang" style. According to the owner, the intent is for the first bite to immediately taste of the sourness before it hit sweetness and crunchiness. He also said to request for less vinegar next time. The noodles were fantastic! We tried both the wide and round version and they both had the elasticity I expect from a good hand pulled noodle. I particularly enjoy the round noodle. Don't think I have ever tasted one as chewy and smooth as the round noodle they have here. Now moving on to the sauce, for the tomato egg I felt the sauce was a little too watery for my liking. I prefer the thicker gravy texture you get from some restaurants (Din Ding). Taste wise was average. The chili oil noodle has good strong spice taste, well balanced with very mild spiciness. Ambiance - simple, basic decor and clean.

The concept might be simple but the possibilities are endless! I went absolutely overboard with my proteins (both beef and lamb), enoki mushroom, napa cabbage, tripe, baby corn, fish balls filled with roe and tofu skin. I saw that they had tofu mochi too and it was one of the best new things I decided to give a try. The bone broth was rich, flavorful and had that perfect mala kick with the numbing spice. I got mild flavor so it was not the kind of spicy that I could not tolerate. Each topping also soaked up all the flavorful broth. My friend got the medium spicy bone broth and that was packed a punch! I love how all the ingredients are fresh and fully restocked. The staff is very efficient.

I asked the server if it could be cooked a bit longer, but she explained that it was supposed to be pink. I tried a small piece, but the texture was still very tender, which made me uncomfortable. It also didn't have the texture of what I expected from beef. My cousin also had an issue with her bowl. The lotus root slices were cut fairly thick, so after cooking, it was still undercooked and crunchy. Overall, it was a disappointing experience due to the cleanliness concerns, the order mix-up, and the food quality. There are plenty of ingredient options, but I don't see myself returning.

The meat was tender and juicy and there was so much of it as well. The base dish came with rice cakes but I should have ordered extra as most of it was gone half way through the meal. The Mul Naengmyeon was cold and refreshing, especially after eating the galbijjim. The restaurant itself is pretty small so the waiters do try to rush you along in order to turn over the tables, but they also worked very hard to make sure your meal was satisfying. They also packed away the left overs in a heat sealed container so it wouldn't spill in the car and keeps for a while in your fridge. Overall a very pleasant experience if you come early enough and don't have to wait in line.

The batter was overwhelming with seasoning that almost tried to mask the deep chewiness of the squid itself. We then hoped for more when ordering the lobster and sea food pot (ordered a second lobster alone too). The hot pot came with some pre-cooked items and then a mix of uncooked items. The lobster was overcooked and chewy and the shrimp were overcooked, while the rest was all right. I was anticipating though with the name that the lobster and shrimp would have been the highlight of the dish, and they were not. I would also add that it felt as though they bought the sea food medley directly from 99 ranch down the street for the remaining fish that were in the hot pot, and again did not even pre-prep them prior to throwing them in the pot.
