After our group hike, we had planned to have lunch here. The restaurant is located in a strip mall next to a high school. We were trying to get to the parking lot but the students were letting out for the day and with parents picking up their kids and students crossing the street, it took a while. We wanted to try the hand-pulled noodles and didn't realize this was one of five locations with the others at Milpitas, Cupertino, San Mateo and Valley Fair. There were no patrons when we arrived at 2pm and the waitress directed us to a table for six. The waitress said we scan the QR on the napkin box for the menu. The menu consisted of noodle soups, dry and fried noodles, appetizers and grill items. You place your order through the QR. We all went will noodle soup items. You can choose small round, regular round, medium round, small flat, large flat, belt flat and knife cut noodles. There's a kitchen window where you can see the chef making the hand pulled noodles. Each of us placed our own orders so when the orders are brought out, they use the last four digits of the cell phone number to identify the person whose dish it was. I had the braised beef noodle soup and opted for the large flat noodles. The dish has one pepper on the menu but the broth only had a very small amount of heat. The large flat noodles were a little too thick to my preference and might opt for round noodles next time. The beef was tender and the broth was tasty. Service was efficient and waitresses came around to refill water cups. Will try again if I'm in the area.
We dined in for a Sunday lunch with a party of 6 and were seated right away. Ordering is done via QR code on your smartphone, but the waitress noticed we were with our grandparents so they provided paper menus without us needing to ask. Service was very fast and I liked the large window to the kitchen where we can observe the chefs hand pulling our noodles. Lamb and beef skewers: Probably my favorite thing we ate, even though they are known for their noodle soups lol. Meat was very flavorful and tender; if you like cumin this is for you. Lanzhou hand pulled noodles: The noodle soup was very hearty with lots of noodles cooked al dente. You get to choose the size of your noodles and I went with round medium. In the future, I would probably order round small bc the medium was a bit chewy for my liking. Note: Knife-cut noodles were extremely hard to chew because they are very thick and irregular shaped. Was not a fan of the texture.
Great place for fresh cut noodle soup and skewers. When the hubby and I can't decide which one we want more, we go here and get both. They serve tiny skewers of lamb, beef, tofu, etc but plenty of them in an order. I especially like their tofu skewers. Their dry and soup noodles are tasty as well.
I got the Lanzhou hand pulled noodles belt style. The texture of the noodles was amazing. It had a nice bite to it. The next time, I would just try the fat noodles bc the broth quickly soaks into the belt style noodles. I think belt noodles are best for drier noodles dishes. It was still good though. The broth had a nice light umami taste to it. I paired it with their super fire OX chili oil. I can drink that oil. It was out of pure embarrassment that I didn't. My friend was kind enough to order the cucumber and beef skewers. They were more a 4/5. For me, the cucumber was a little underwhelming and could use more vinegar and spice. The beef skewers were great, but it wasn't spicy enough. However, for my American friend, it was way too spicy for her to handle, so I think it's a matter of preference. Overall, it's a nice place to try out local Chinese food.
I came to the Fremont location of Ox 9 for the first time since they were participating in Fremont Restaurant Week! I got lamb skewers, cucumber salad, and two noodle soups with my friends and I for $40. What a steal! The service is incredibly quick- we got the braised beef noodle and Lanzhou handpulled noodle. Incredibly filling meal, everything is standout about their noodle soup dish! The noodles are QQ, the broth is light, the chili oil is aromatic, and the veggies are fresh. There's no shortage of beef in these soups either, especially when compared to most Chinese restaurants. We loved the cumin lamb skewers and that they added the right amount of spice to our meal, the lamb isn't too gamey or fatty! Just the perfect texture and flavor. Definitely try this spot if you have the chance to! Nothing beats a good old fashioned hand pulled noodle soup craving.
Jajangmen was meh. I guess I prefer more meat and more Korean Chinese style but the regular round Noodle was chewy. The noodle soup pickled beef was ok but the soup taste can be better. Tea stew egg tasted funny? The cumin beef Chinese burger has too much cumin string taste. The lamb skewers were ok but the chicken bone skewers were really good! The steam bun meat did not have much meat. I look forward to try the knife cut Noodle stir fry next time. It was hot inside so I wished they turn on their AC cooler
Restaurant week 2026! Restaurant week is bomb dot com as it exposes you to places you wouldn't otherwise have tried. They had a combo of 2 noodle dishes (of your choice), cucumber appetizer and THREE lamb skewers for $39.99! Because of this deal, it's now one of my mom's go to places. FOOD: ***They are known for their clear broth with radishes as this is what started it all.*** However, we have yet to try this. We ordered the pickled beef noodle soup (spice level can't be changed). Bok choy is fresh. Beef is nicely done (not tough). Pickled veggies are a nice crunch. Limited options for dry noodles...doesn't seem as worthwhile as their noodle soups. ***On the napkin holders / next to the QR code, there's a picture of the noodles thickness. Check it out before ordering because the size will definitely surprise you*** I love love love their chili wontons/spicy wontons. Only complaint is waaaayyy too much sauce. It's slightly sweeter than spicy in flavor but definitely popping with so much flavor. Skewers are amazing!! Three lamb skewers = $7.50 whereas three beef skewers = $6.99 ***I do highly recommend the skewers. They are waaaaayyy better than the ones you purchase at festivals and exceeds many other restaurants with skewers in quality around the area. Not too fatty and so full of flavor! SERVICE: definitely China vibes. Speaks Mandarin Chinese but able to communicate in English. Their service is SOOOO fast. Dishes come out almost immediately; ***THEREFORE IF YOU ARE HANGRY, this is a go to place! Sooooo cool that they literally and freshly stretch out your noodles (which you can see via the window). They clear dishes only once you leave and not at all while you are sitting there. You order via QR code. They don't really check up on you and ask if you need anything. You have to wave them down or go to them if you need anything. VIBEZ: Large restaurant. Love the decor. Casual dining and great for large groups. Located in the plaza with Naga's kitchen, an Indian supermarket, BingBing... Parking is tight with 60 minutes spaces and 15 minutes. Free but not complicated. Would I come back? Yes.
Over this most recent winter when the rain has been pouring for weeks straight, I was able to find some time to try these Lanzhou hand pulled noodles that I had heard so much about. Located in a little plaza/strip mall in Fremont, this spot is surprisingly convenient with ample parking spots and interior seating (which gives a modern look almost similar to the new wave of food hubs/courts that have opened up around these types of suburbs). We were seated and got to order quickly despite most of the restaurant being full, so props to the staff for their attention. We ordered a few items to share: Lanzhou Hand Pulled Noodles (Wide): 5/5 Incredible texture on the noodles and great broth with a ton of beef and chili oil to bring it altogether. Chili Oil Wontons: 4.5/5 Tons of chili oil and wontons filled with juicy pork that paired incredibly well with their black vinegar. Cumin Lamb Skewers: 1000/5 Both my girlfriend and I deemed these skewers as some of the best bites of meat we have ever had. The seasoning was on point and the lamb was charred to perfection, with none of the gaminess that sometimes is associated with it. Must have any time we swing by. Chili Oil + Black Vinegar: 5/5 the star of the night for us as we were dipping anything and everything into their house made chili oil to the point where when we asked for boxes for our leftovers, they also gave us some extra containers of oil and black vinegar to take home that we still have been using on a bunch of other meals as well. Next time we might have to buy some of the chili oil that they sell at the counter. One of my favorite meals of 2025 to end the year for sure.
Interesting history to this regional cuisine for hand-pulled noodle soups. This is 1 of several locations around the bay area, which one has received a "Michelin recommended" recognition. Their broth (with about 28 ingredients) is simmered for 6 hours apparently. Ordered their pork rib knife cut noodle soup and a steamed scallop with garlic appetizer. They definitely loaded up the scallop with plenty of garlic! Yet I enjoyed it and my noodle soup lunch very much. Broth had that depth of flavor and noodles had a nice texture. Pork ribs were fall-off-the-bone too. Would stop in for another bowl when back in the area.
TLDR: For the last 5 years or so, I'd have random chili oil noodle cravings and Ox 9's is the only place that ever truly satisfied my craving. So, on Sunday, I looked up the Milpitas location and google told me it was permanently closed ToT I almost cried, but lucky for me there was one in Fremont. The flavors pair so nicely together and it really is a comfort food type of place for me, so I recommend. Food: 4.5/5 The chili oil noodles (wide noodles) were tasty and hit the spot for me. I have yet to be disappointed by an Ox 9 location for the chili oil noodles. I always pair it with the chili oil wonton for some protein/meat. There is an option with beef, but I think the wonton more worth it because I love dumplings :P My friend got the braised beef knife cut noodles, which didn't have anything super special about it, but was nice for a cold day. I would agree, the other times I got it at other locations, it was tasty, but it didn't quite hit the spot for me. We also tried the thai teas and were pleasantly surprised it was super sweet. It is on the sweeter side, but it wasn't in your face (coming from someone who orders 30% sweetness at every tea shop that will let me). Staff/Space: 4/5 It was a small space with decent ability to host various sized groups, just not too many of the same sized groups. The parking lot is also pretty tiny, so we ended up parking in the street at the neighboring homes just down the street. The staff was nice for the few moments we interacted with as you order from a QR code and can request the bill from it as well. The food came out pretty fast like a 10-15min or so wait for all of the food to come out.
The lamb skewers were the best I had. But I was expecting the red chili oil noodles to be better. I like the chili oil noodles from Highland noodles in Milpitas more. The ground pork noodles were good though. Food and ambience were both good, and the service was first but everything felt a bit rushed. The staff didn't give us a relaxing vibe.
Not the best noodles in town, at least not to me. Others suggested this place after Mingle Mango. It was just ok. The grilled scallop with garlic vermicelli was absolutely delicious. It is definitely worth revisiting. The price was reasonable too. For the noodle dish, I opted for the Chili oil handpulled noodles. Everything was fresh, but not epic. Here's What I Think...I'll definitely be back for the scallop dish. YUM!

This place knows how to make some yummy chewy noodles! Taste: Fresh and not overpowering. I especially enjoyed the cucumber salad. Parking: they have some place parking but it's a little small and some spirits are 20 min only so be careful Service: Good. You order through a kiosk and they bring the food out pretty quickly. read more

I stopped by Ox 9 Noodles while in a hurry and needed something quick to-go for lunch -- and they delivered! We drove up, scanned the QR code on the counter, placed the order, and in less than 10 minutes I was walking out with my food. Talk about fast service -- but definitely not "fast food" quality! Braised Beef Stew Noodles: The beef was incredibly tender and exactly what I was craving. At first, the broth tasted a bit salty, but once everything was mixed together, it was just right. I added extra stewed beef for $7, and it was absolutely worth it! Juicy Pork Burger: So glad I ordered this too -- it paired perfectly with the leftover beef broth. The pork was juicy, flavorful, and just salty enough to balance the flatbread (which I learned is called rou jia mo or bai ji mo). Delicious! Service was quick and friendly -- the lady at the counter was warm and helpful. I'll definitely be back for another bowl (and another pork or cumin beef burger)! read more
Came here when I was feeling a bit sick and under the weather to finally try their noodle soups because I had heard a lot about them. I ordered the beef noodle with Chinese pickle and also added an egg. I also opted for the regular round noodles. The service was fast and the noodles came out really quick! Everything from the noodles, beef, egg, and brother was delicious, but I wasn't particularly blown away by the food. I hope to come back again to try and see if it was because I was sick. read more
Excellent Chinese food a couple of minutes from the Fremont Amtrak station. Stopped by earlier this week with relatives who had just rolled into town from Sacramento. They were hungry after a three hour train journey and were craving authentic Chinese food. I saw on Yelp that Ox 9 was highly recommended by my fellow Yelp Elites, including Victor G who has written over 1000 Chinese food reviews! Ambience was basic and parking was difficult, but the food more than made up for it! Ox 9 features Northwest Chinese cuisine, which is uncommon, so I ordered the Liangpi (cold skin noodles), a popular Chinese street food from Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. My cousin ordered a big plate of bone-in chicken with flat wide noodles and chili oil, this was mouth-wateringly tasty - I happily helped her finish it! Her husband ordered a bowl of stewed lamb noodles (small flat), which looked bland, but he seemed to enjoy. Service was good, and the bill was a little over $60 (with three Thai Tea's and the aforementioned food) before tax and tip. Will be back!! read more
This time I got it to go. My wife and I pretty much need to eat here once a month. Whether is to go or or eat in the service is good. The environment is clean. I love how you can watch noodles being hand pulled. Our go to are the vegetable chow mein and the spicy wonton. Services, friendly and quick prices are reasonable. read more
Finally got to try this spot for a Sunday lunch, and it didn't disappoint! Thankfully it wasn't too crowded and we were seated right away. We ordered from a QR code on the table. The food came quickly and the portions were surprisingly large! Our favorite was their signature Lanzhou hand pulled beef noodles - deep beef flavor and hit the spot on a chilly day. Their big plate chicken was huge and had tender chicken, with wide noodles underneath. We enjoyed their spicy pig ear appetizers as well. Their burgers were just OK for me as the dough was a bit thick. Their beef chow mein was surprisingly delicious, and their liangpi was solid. The only miss for us was their spicy ground pork dry noodles. Would highly recommend this spot! read more
Ox 9 is my go-to for Chinese hand pulled noodle dishes these days. I frequent this location more than the others in the Bay since I live and work in Fremont, but they're all pretty great. The Fremont shop is more modern and nice to eat at vs. the nearby Milpitas shop. But Milpitas has popcorn chicken! I never understood why they don't do popcorn chicken at this Fremont location. That said, the positives here: -Friendly staff -QR ordering is easy and works -Reasonable prices for good sized, filling dishes -Chili oil wontons - must get these. I love chili wontons and get them everywhere. But ox 9 makes my favorite version anywhere because their chili oil is so damn amazing. Good heat. Unforgettable flavor. -Spicy ground pork dry noodle - this, to me is the best noodle dish here if you also like spicy dry noodles. The noodles are wide and have that perfect chewy texture. They also (and this is pretty key) coat extremely well with that beautiful chili oil. :) -Braised beef stew noodles - surprisingly good. I actually like this more than their most popular, namesake Lanzhou style soup noodle. The latter is a bit bland for my palate. Keep up the great work Ox 9! read more

4.3/5 stars overall. Ordered the Lanzhou Handpulled Noodles to-go. The order came out surprisingly quick after ordering from their counter, which I appreciated. Good packaging - no spills in the car on the way home. The food was delicious and the soup was still warm even after our 30 minute drive home. My partner and I shared this order so I'll give both our ratings. Soup was flavorful. We both give it an 8/10. Meat was extremely tender. I give it a 9/10 just based on how tender it was. My partner gives it an 8/10. My partner ordered the small flat noodle option. (There are 6 noodle options total that you can choose from.) We both give it a 7/10 but please note that I actually prefer the belt flat option which is why the score is a little lower. It's my personal preference. Reviews are based on us comparing noodles we've had previously in Taiwan and other popular handpull noodles restaurants in the US. With that said, we thoroughly enjoyed this meal and will definitely be back when we need our Handpulled noodle soup cravings satisfied! read more
Our friend was in town a few weeks and wanted to go to lunch. We suggested Ox 9. We had been to the Milpitas and San Mateo locations but not the Fremont one. We were shown to a table, asked if we wanted hot tea or cold water and then told to order via QR Code on our phone. For an appetizer, we got Crispy Lamb Chops - 5 - while I'm not sure that Lamp Chops was a proper description, they were none-the-less delicious. Crunchy, loaded with cumin, super flavorful. Entrees were noodle soups: Stewed Lamb Noodles - 5 - no spice. excellent! Tender morsels of lamb in a tasty broth, I could eat this every day, especially in winter. Braised Beef Stew with Pickled Vegetables and Knife Cut Noodles - 5 - everything she wanted in a bowl. Mala Spicy Beef Noodles - 5 - Meaty, Spicy, Slurpliciousness. Everything was as desired. Service was good. Restaurant was clean. We'll be back! read more
Ive been meaning to try this place for a while. My mom actually recommended me this place! So when my friend said he wanted to try this place, we were out! Came here on a Friday around 8. Not too busy! What I got: Lanzhou Hand-pulled Noodles: 5/5 This was tasty I love noodle soups :3 Feels like home when I eat this. Also I could see the chef in the back pulling the noodles so that was awesome! Love a clear broth, the chili oil added a nice fat to make the soup richer! Ox 9 liangpi : 4/5 My friend (same guy, we're working on it lol) was telling me about this noodle and it was intriguing! I might butcher the explanation but something about washing the Noodles so all the gluten is out and makes the spongy looking pieces in there. The sauce was nutty and spicy! Very good! Held up very well the day after! Also service was so fast, I didnt have time to learn how to make a bunny chopstick holder The ambiance inside was super casual. I liked how they had a poster of the Noodles tho! Overall would come again for the noodle soup! I LOVE SOUPPP!!! read more

Finally found a spot where the sliced meat in soup form is cooked just right. So many places tend to overcook theirs, in my opinion, and so it often turns dry and tough, but not here. I tried the Lanzhou Handpulled Noodle soup with regular round noodles which had great texture. It was soft with a nice chew. The broth was flavorful and came with a generous amount of chili oil portion without being too overpowering. Of course there's more at the table if you want to turn up the heat. 5/5 Service was impressively efficient. The two ladies there seemed to have it down to a system - not a single motion wasted, which I can appreciate. Goes without saying, I'd recommend this place and look forward coming back to try other items on their menu! read more
I have been on a Chinese soup kick lately. I love Chinese soups in general. They have healing properties. I always feel so good after eating a Chinese soup. Ox 9 Lanzhou has some very good options. Their broth is flavorful enough without doing too much or being overly salty. The bowls are huge with plenty of noodles and protein. I ordered the Braised Beef Stew Knife Cut noodles. I really liked this bowl of soup but I was not a huge fan of the noodles. They're "knife cut" which means they're....cut with a knife, lol. They're on the thick side and chewy. It was my first time trying knife cut noodles. I'm not used to this type of noodle. It was VERY filling. I have no problem finishing up noodles most days but I could not finish up the bowl at Ox 9. Ambiance is nice. Restaurant is very clean and there's plenty of seating. Service was super fast and staff is friendly. I will definitely come back but I would choose something with regular noodles. read more
Very straight to the point restaurant, order through QR code on the table. Service was attentive, kept refilling our waters and food came out fairly quickly. We ordered the Lanzhou hand pulled noodles, eggplant with garlic, spicy wontons, and for skewers: beef, chicken gizzard, grilled chicken crispy bones and corn. The spicy wontons were the star of the meal for sureeee! All the skewers were heavily seasoned but not too salty or anything. Eggplant with garlic was a bit oily. Lanzhou hand pulled noodles were generous in amount of noodles, and the broth was clean but a tiny bit underwhelming. I actually think I liked the beef stir-fried knife cut noodles more than the soup. Such yummy chewy noodles! My recommendations would be spicy wonton and beef stir-fried knife cut noodles. We brought cake for a birthday, and they played a birthday song over the sound system while we sang, it was so sweet :) many thanks to the kind employees!! read more
Lanzhou Hand-pulled Noodles 兰州牛肉拉面 are always good, especially from here. The texture of the noodles are always spot on. Not too soft and not too firm. I love the large flat or small flat normally!! Broth is clear, light with a nice beefy flavor. Not too heavy, and the chili oil is the perfect kick of flavor to bring it all together. Beef and radish is thinly slice. I recommend adding the pickled veggies for some acidity too! Soooo good! read more
Each time I have gone to Ox 9, I have always been greeted with a kind wait staff. For dine in, you place your order by scanning the QR and choosing what items you would like. The spicy wontons and beef chow mein are 10/10 for me. Certainly a must order when you go to Ox 9! read more

Stopped by for lunch with my family on a Sunday afternoon! It was pretty busy but we got seated quickly. The place itself is nice and clean and has plenty of seating but gets filled pretty fast around lunch time and dinner time. I ordered the chili oil noodles (wide noodles) with braised beef and also an order of the spicy pig ears to share with the table. The pig ears are cold and refreshing. The spice is cooling and has good flavor but the chili oil does make it on the oily side. The chili oil noodles have a good chew and were my ideal texture for a thick noodle. The braised beef was also very tender and went well with the noodles. All of it was a lot of food so I had to take some to go. Overall great meal! Would recommend the chili oil noodles for anyone that's a dry noodle fan!! read more
DELICIOUS! This spot was amazing and worth the hype. I've seen this spot all over the Bay Area and finally gave it a try. We ordered the spicy wonton, two dry noodles, and one soup noodle. All were phenomenal and super delicious. The noodles were bouncy and chewy. They have vinegar and chilli oil on the side which I used to taste as I love my noodles a bit more on the salty side. I like that the noodles weren't too salty or had too much going on. Simple yet delicious! This spot is great and I'd definitely be back. The noodle options are great and I love that you can pick thin or thick, etc. service was also fast and good! read more
I loved how the noodles broth was clear and flavorful, noodles had a perfect bite, but I wish it didn't have the tangling . The beef was flavorful and easy to bite. The chili oil was a nice compliment to the clear broth, and the onions/cilantro gave the broth a nice kick. Service was extremely prompt and to the point. Towards the end, the waitress asked me if I wanted a cup of water to go, and I said no thank you. Tried to get away with not speaking mandarin but I had to bring it out anyways. Ambiance was very homey and casual, clean decoration, and it wasn't too crowded. The parking lot itself was definitely crowded, to my surprise. read more
It seems opening modern Chinese fast-casual spots featuring region-specific specialties is all the rage these days here in the bay. Came for a quick bowl of noodles with a couple of friends on a Sunday night an hour before closing. Ambiance is typical of the genre and ordering is done through a tableside QR code - our food came out within minutes. Their spicy ground pork dry noodles with the large flat noodles were mouthwatering, complete with that chewy fresh-cut noodle taste, tingly spice, and flavorful sauce. My friends enjoyed their Lanzhou thin round noodle soup and chili oil noodle dishes. I'll have to come back to try a soup-based option on a rainy day. Waitstaff asked us to leave at 5 minutes to closing and got to their cars before we did, which we had a little chuckle about. Guess everyone needs a head start on beating the Monday morning blues. read more
Came here last Saturday around 6:30pm to celebrate Lunar new year with my parents, party of 4. I myself got the braised beef stew $15) and an order of spicy wontons. We also got a pork sandwich to share ( on accident, since on the menu the description sounded really similar to another pork bun set of 4 that we were actually trying to order) - so I would recommend you check the mobile order carefully before pressing ORDER. I got Large flat noodles because I feel like that's the most worth it noodle to get at places like these. Pros: - Lots of options, and you can modify your order's noodle size - Overall, very decent portions, I ended up just eating the rest of it for lunch the next day - Spicy wontons were delicious - Good amount of veggies in the noodle soup - Props to all the service staff - I witnessed them deal with a huge party that was kind of difficult - the service staff were running around doing their best accommodating them - Easy mobile order - just be careful because some order descriptions look similar and it's really easy to add the wrong thing accidentally. Thankfully everything was really delicious so I don't mind - Easy parking lot - it can look weird because there's green painted spots but they're not all actually 15 min spots Cons: - I would say this isn't great for parties of bigger than 4, there's some bigger tables but they were all already filled when we got there - I wish there were more non-spicy options other than the lamb soup Would not mind coming back here, but I think we do prefer One Piece Lamien in Fremont read more
Food 5/5. This has been one of my all time favorite chain. This place has one of the best cucumber salad I have had. I always come here for their chili oil wide noodle and the cucumber salad, and sometimes for the grilled bean curd skewers, Ambiance 5/5 - this location is very clean, spacious and less crowded versus the other Ox9 locations. Service is fast. Only problem is the parking lot is small and can be hard to find during peak hours. read more
