    Mala Spicy Beef Noodles
    Julie S.

    Glad to check out this location of Ox 9 on Castro Street. I love their hand-pulled noodles and was in the area. This location has a nice outdoor dining area as well as interior. And like other locations, service is fast. You order from a QR code at the table, and food is brought out. My chili oil noodles, which I have gotten at other locations, weren't quite as spicy as other spots. I had them add beef, and it was the sliced rounds of beef, not the stewed beef as in other locations. My friend found the lamb with noodles a bit too spicy, might have been him. The garlic cucumber was good as usual. I think I prefer the Cupertino location but this was pretty good.

    Spicy pig ears, sliced spicy beef, and langpi noodles
    Cristina Nguyen L.

    This is my first time trying this place, but not my first time trying hand pulled noodles. When they say spicy, they really mean spicy. Their spicy pig ear and spicy beef was a four out of five for those who usually don't eat spice. but the flavor of those appetizer are really, really good. The pig ear was nice and crunchy, and the sliced beef was really tender and soft. Now this was my first time trying to put noodle with more of a peanut sauce. I usually eat it with chili oil and vinegar, but this time it was more of a peanut sauce which tastes pretty decent. It was more of a self service where you scan the menu and self order. The ambience was really nice because the restaurant was more of a Chinese theme. Makes the place really interesting. I am definitely coming back

    This place never fails to feed me well! The noodles are chewy and super customizable in size. The only thing I wish was better was their portion size! Too small for my appetite haha. I always consider getting an extra portion of noodles and this time, the extra portion seemed bigger than my original order! Also, the portion sizes don't seem consistent. Service is fast, if a bit brusque and they don't talk to you much. Maybe that's a good thing. But there is usually already a jug of water at the table so you don't really need to ask them for anything.

    Lunch date with hubs. Debated between fish soup, ox and Mifen and ended up here. We were in and out in 30 mins. Super fast service. Stewed pork rib noodle soup: 4/5 braised beef was more flavorful. Small round noodles are too thin and ended up being overcooked with a soft texture. Braised beef with Chinese pickles noodle soup: 5/5 big portions and tasty broth. Similar to the one at valley fair. Again small round noodles were too soft. Spicy pig ear: 4/5 good with a nice kick to it. Glad to finally have tried this place!

    Came here with some friends at night time and we all left satisfied! Taste: 5/5 stars! Everyone loved their dishes. I personally liked the pork. They let u adjust different ingredients as well! Parking: There's some street parking and plaza parking Service: You order through a qr code and they bring out the food quickly!

    凉皮was the best dish by far. Spicy and soy saucy in the best way. Also very chewy IMO could have used vinegar but they have it on the tables The soup noodles were pretty standard flavor wise. The knife cut noodles had fantastic texture though

    When the staff speak better Chinese you know it's good. I also appreciate the are English and Chinese menus; you can never tell exactly what it is from the English translation. I can say the noodles are definitely authentic. Some places they have knife cut noodles instead of knife shaved noodles so I was glad they actually had the shaved ones. The broth is flavorful, the meat as well and they didn't skimp out on it. This is the best chain for authentic Chinese noodles I know of. Service is good too. The staff let us know about allergen information, and was helpful when I called ahead. There's cool decorations like a noodle bowl model and cool logos inside, and plenty of seating.

    Lanzhou Hand Pulled Noodles with large wide noodles

    This place has been on my list of places I wanted to try for a while now, and we finally got to try it recently. Overall it was pretty good! You order through your phone and service is pretty fast bringing the food. I got their classic Lanzhou hand pulled noodles with large wide noodles. The broth was very tasty and the noodles had good texture. I felt like the meat was just okay, but I was happy with everything else. It's also fairly small inside and can get busy/cramped, so keep that in mind if you go during busy times. I'd recommend stopping by!

    Beef noodle soup with Chinese pickled vegetables 3/5 - this was a bit bland. Broth didn't have much flavor but the beef was tender. I liked the noodles as well Next time I will get their dry noodles. I had a taste and it was really good

    Mala Spicy Beef Noodle Soup
    Warren K.

    Got here at around 5 PM on a Tuesday night and it was relatively empty, left around 6:30 and if you came in then there still would be no wait time but it did start to get fuller. We tried the Mala Spicy Beef Noodle Soup and the Langzhou Handpulled Noodle Soup. The Mala one was ordered with the large flat noodles, which I would highly recommend as they absorb the flavor extremely well. I would recommend asking for a pair of scissors to cut them tho as their a longly connected strong of noodles. Mala flavor was definitely there as well. For the Langzhou Handpulled Noodle Soup, it wasn't as spicy as I would prefer but if you can increase the spice level with the provided chili oil on the table. I got the normal round noodles but I thought they were rather thin, and look to try the medium round noodles next time. There great thing about this place is that it's not crazy expensive, the food comes out in like 10 minutes, and their noodle quality is great! Just have to make sure to order the right things. A solid 4.2 stars for me!

    Chili Oil Noodles with Braised Beef
    Allie G.

    We visited OX9 Lanzhou Handpulled Noodles on a Friday evening, and waited about 10 minutes to be seated outside. The (dog-friendly) outdoor seating didn't have much ambiance, but the interior looked pretty casual too. We ordered a few starters to share between the 4 of us - Cucumber With Garlic Sauce (nice, refreshing), Marinated Cucumber Salad (more of a wasabi flavor), and the Spicy Wontons (couldn't have these, but everyone else loved them). For my entree, I was somewhat limited as a non-pork eater, and chose the Chili Oil Noodles with Braised Beef. These were pretty good, and the beef was especially well-prepared and soft. However, my friends seemed more excited about their dishes, like the Stewed Pork Ribs Noodle. Service was quick and efficient. Overall, good for dinner but probably more exciting if you eat pork.

    Lanzhou hand pulled beef noodles with belt flat noodles (no spice)
    Mary A.

    I kept seeing this place along Downtown Mountain View since its grand opening, and I've been interested in trying this place out. We came by on a chilly evening in December for some much needed warm soup noodles. We showed up by 5:30 on a Sat evening and were seated quickly, but the dinner crowd was emerging when we left the restaurant an hour later. My boyfriend and I both got soup noodles - I opted for the Lanzhou Hand-pulled Noodles (no spice, belt flat noodles) and he got the Braised Beef Stew Noodles (spicy, large flat noodles). Both soups came out fairly quickly. I loved the chew of my belt flat noodles, and it was a good thickness as well. The no spice broth was fairly light overall, but I wish there was more flavor in the broth. Mainly tasted like a very light salted broth overall. My boyfriend's broth was surprisingly not spicy by my tastes, and I have a pretty low tolerance towards spicy foods (for example, hot cheetos is on the upper level of my spice tolerance, and his broth was less spicy than that). If anything, his broth was more flavorful with barely a hint of spice. We weren't sure if it just happened to be the day we showed up or if it was truly intentional, but I guess we'll have to come back to see if that's the case! I mean, I can't get enough of those noodles!

    knife cut noodles, not recommended
    Jungmin R.

    Unfortunately, this place wasn't for me. 1 star for the knife-cut noodles. The length and width were too inconsistent--the first piece I picked up was as short and fat as a sliced rice cake--and the texture was almost gooey, which made it unpleasant that I couldn't finish. The broth was good but on the lighter side. There weren't many toppings. Their round noodles were good.

The restaurant clearly aims to position itself as a premium soondubu restaurant, but I don't think the food lives up to that expectation. Creating a truly high-end soondubu experience is a very ambitious challenge, and while I respect the effort, I personally don't think it was executed successfully. The banchan selection is generous, but I didn't find anything particularly memorable or distinctive that set it apart from other Korean restaurants. That said, the interior is beautiful, and the service was excellent. Those aspects definitely left a much stronger impression than the food.

Breads are baked fresh in house and the menu offerings consist of: handcrafted sandwiches, soup, salads, flatbreads, and even has a kid's menu. Purchases: * HAM & TURKEY [on honey wheat bread] * PASTRAMI REUBEN [on sourdough] Sandwiches are made on sourdough bread by default and includes house spread, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mustard, & cheese. Customizations are welcome. Sandwiches were good and very filling. The only complaint on my end was the shredded lettuce that made for messy eating- I would have preferred whole leaves. Honey wheat isn't recommended if you plan on eating your sandwich later- this bread is softer and will become soggy quite quickly. 4 stars. The bread to protein ration is fair, food is tasty, and the staff was kind. I'd say this was a good first experience.

I will say that sometimes their broth is a bit spicier than described, so just keep that in mind! You can always spice it up with the sauce bar if it's not spicy enough for you. The service is usually fairly good. It's self serve while you build your bowl of toppings, most of the service is at the beginning then just refilling water and giving you a to go container. It gets pretty busy, so it can be noisy and a bit of a tight squeeze between tables. The wait isn't too bad though because there's a lot of tables!

My daughter couldn't resist trying everything and her mix dry pot was over two pounds. She took leftovers home. I selected 4 beef rolls, half a tube of soft tofu, two shrimps with the head, two lobster/crab fish balls, two types of mushrooms, baby bok choy, broccoli, and achoy. It came up to 1 pound 4 ounces and I selected the tom yum soup. It was a little salty but delicious and more than enough for one meal. I dipped it in chili sauce for added spice. There was a spice center with different spices, green onions, & sauces. It is one pound minimum for $14.99 lb. I was super full. Next time, I would take half of it home. Service was great. We walked up to sign in and they asked how many and gave us a table. We filled our bowls and someone was sitting at the assigned table. The cashier had someone move them so we were all good. The place is actually clean considering all the different bowls of raw ingredients to choose from. Tables were white with plastic orange/black bowls, chopsticks, and orange plastic spoons. It took less than 10 minutes for our bowls. Everything was hot & heated thru. They also refilled water. Employees weren't overly talkative but they were polite.

It feels just like a warm hug in a bowl! Their cold noodles, both spicy and non-spicy versions, are refreshing and perfect for cooling down summer heat. We also almost always order the mo deum soo yook for extra protein. It's a combination plate with boiled beef brisket, tail, and tendons. You will have to season them yourself with salt and pepper, but beef is always so soft and tender. I highly recommend ordering this only if you're dining with a group of 3 or more because the portion is huge! After finishing your meal, they'll serve you a yakult, super yummy and great for digestion (super thoughtful of them) They're busy and almost always have a waitlist, especially during peak dinner hours. From my experience, the longest I've waited was about 45 minutes, but normally it's only around 20-30 minutes. There's a boba shop nearby where you can grab a drink while waiting. Overall, I have nothing to complain about with this place. Try it once and you'll understand why everyone loves it!

Came here on a Saturday around noon and thankfully we were early enough to avoid a wait. they don't allow outside drinks, which is a bummer because it was so hot and our drinks would go bad if left in the car. I got the galbi tang and they gave a good amount of beef! I was able to take home for a second meal :) i also love their kimchi. maybe around 10 minutes after we got our soup, we had asked for refills on the sides. when we got the refills, we also got our bill. we were no where close to being done eating and the servers would constantly check our table to see if we're done or needed boxes. while we were boxing our leftovers, the server aggressively took our soups (half way in the air trying to pour it) from us and packed it herself. my friend was trying to get the bone out first but the server was just awfully impatient. The whole dine-in experience felt very uncomfortable, especially since we were still actively eating.
