It was a very cold day, and a steaming bowl of noodles really hit the spot! I love this chain and am happy to see it in downtown Mountain View. The noodles are so fresh, and I love that you can choose your favorite noodle type. My personal favorite is the large flat noodles. The broth is so comforting, too. So thankful you're part of the neighborhood now! I'll be back. read more

We are pleasantly surprised by this noodle place! The noodles are perfect texture and we enjoyed all the dishes. Love love the braised beef noodle soup with knife cut noodles. The stir fry beef chili oil noodle was good too. We also tried chili oil pork wonton, tofu noodles and pork buns, all very decent. Everything taste authentic and we left the place with happy tummy :-) the service was good and very easy ordering through online via QR code. We went there twice within one week! Will be going back again soon! Highly recommend! read more

Had a late Valentine's Day lunch here today. Quiet and not too busy at 1pm, with nostalgic Chinese pop music playing in the background. We shared a beef hot oil noodle and added two eggs, a pork rou jia mo, and a fried squid appetizer. The squid was lightly battered, well-seasoned, and cooked just right for a good texture. With squid it can be easy to cook it unevenly since there are thicker and also thinner parts, but it was all good! The pork rou jia mo was good and juicy, but I prefer the cumin beef one more. Finally the beef hot oil noodle is definitely my favorite thing to get here now. I have liked the QQ noodle version before (their You Po Mian uses pork and is more garlicky). But the Ox9 version is great -- most notably the very fresh chili pepper flavor, but also the tender beef chunks, wide cut noodle, and lots of veggies. read more

Ox9 has been expanding like crazy and I'm excited for a location near me. This location is clean and service was good. Their noodles are always the perfect chewy consistency. I loved the beef noodle soup with chinese pickled veggies. Most pieces of beef were tender, bok choy was blanched and not overcooked, and the soup had a nice depth of beefy flavor. My only minor complaint is that some pieces of meat were too lean and a bit tough. I usually get the Lanzhou hand pulled noodles but haven't tried it at this location yet. My boyfriend got his usual Zhajiangmian and it was consistent with the other locations. read more

I had really high expectations for Ox9 because three new locations opened in the bay in the last two years. However, I must admit that I was disappointed. To begin with, the beef and sour vegetable soup noodle lacked the protein amount I was expecting. The soup was also not very hot. My friend ordered popcorn chicken, but it was bland and lacked any flavor. We were also disappointed to learn that they didn't have any additional sauces to add such as sweet and sour sauce or spicy mayo. All they had was vinegar and chili oil. On the positive side, the handmade noodles allow for personalization in terms of noodle thickness. I ordered a thin flat noodle, which I thought was fresh. These noodles do also soak up the soup incredibly fast. The restaurant is quite small, so be prepared to wait. We were able to secure the last table for four around 7 pm. There's an easy parking lot right behind the storefront, and downtown offers a variety of food, shopping, and boba/drink options. read more

The noodles were amazing, with fresh and chewy texture. Soup was a bit flavorless, and chili oil was fragrant but wasn't spicy at all. The daikon was cooked but had some crunch to it, and beef slices melted in the mouth. Wontons had nice filling to wrapper ratio and the same fragrant oil with prominent meat taste, but same problem with flavorlessness. read more

Ox 9 Lanzhou Hand Pulled Noodles - lanzhou handpulled noodle soup & chili oil wontons - Asian Fusion Near Me - Mountain View, California

Had dinner here last night: the braised beef bowl with small flat noodles, cucumber salad, and dumplings. The broth is subtle and deep and the texture of the noodles was perfect. We also really enjoyed the appetizers, the sauce that came with the dumplings was so good, I was dipping my all my proteins in it. This is a new restaurant in Castro; I appreciated the decor, there's interesting ambient lighting all around, and acoustic treatment on the ceiling, so the space feels warm and inviting. The staff was also great and attentive. We walked up and put our names third on the waitlist and were called up less than five minutes later. The waiters were quick and helpful in bringing the food, check, and boxes. Had a lovely dinner and plan to come back. read more

Super happy an OX9 opened closer to us! Decided to come give this location a try and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is super clean and the workers were friendly and attentive. They even gave us sesame balls on the house which we enjoyed! The pork dry noodle was a hit for my boyfriend, he said he enjoyed it as it was not over salted like other noodle places. I loved my classic lanzhou noodles, the broth was light and very flavorful, the noodles were chewy and fresh. We both loved the pig ear, marinated cucumber (not pictured), and spicy wontons (not pictured). Would definitely order all of these dishes again, and eager to try more! read more

Good bowl of handmade noodles! Food comes out fast and you can choose the thickness of your noodles. They also have chili oil on the tables to control the spice level. I wish there was more meat but the portion size was decent (lots of noodles than toppings). read more

My fiancée and I were looking for dinner after visiting Costco in Sunnyvale. Saw OX9 pop up on Yelp with their new location in Mountain View which was only about 13 minutes away. We always pass by the San Mateo location, but haven't had a chance to try it out, so today would finally be the day. Street parking was fairly easy on a Saturday evening. Walk in and the staff point to any open table to sit down at. You scan the QR code on the table to view their menu and place an order. The only thing we knew about OX9 was they are known for their hand-pulled noodles and something we always try to find are some good QQ/Biang-biang noodles. Here at OX9, it wasn't exactly what we were looking for, but it's close. I ordered the Lanzhou Handpulled Noodle Soup with Large Flat noodles. I should've gotten either regular round or medium round because those are the ones that I'd expect in a noodle soup and flat or wider noodles are better for dry-style dishes in my opinion. That's on me so I'll try not to be as hard on the dish. Soup itself was clear and tasted "clean" with a bit of beefy-ness, but not a strong enough flavor profile. Chili oil in it ads a nice kick, but the star of this was the sliced beef as it was so tender it basically melted in your mouth. My fiancée got the Chili Oil Noodles (Wide Noodles) and mentioned the oil tasted like it was stale (maybe left out for too long?) and she needed to add a few more heaping spoonfuls to round it out. It didn't have the chew of a biang biang noodle, but got the job done. To pay, you go up to the register and let them know your table number. Simple enough. Overall, a quick and easy spot that I can imagine being a local's regular spot after work or if they're hungry for some noodles. read more

Food: Everything is good and the dry spicy noodle with braise beef is my favorite! Get the extra flat noodle that is so chewy and tasty. I will definitely come again.

The noodles were good. main critique is that if you don't like spicy beware. the soy noodles that I usually have are NOT spicy but they were spicy here we tried to get in on a friday night and it was so full that they weren't taking any more people for their waiting list! If this place is too full, go to Seasons on Villa, they are good and in my opinion better. read more

Excellent hand pulled noodles. The chili beef noodle had great chew and just the rifjt hest. The pigs ear was one of the best I've had. The Lanzhou soup noodle was good too. Would come back for these authentic flavors and no frill environment read more

Extremely delicious bowls of noodles. Have tried the clear lanzhou, the spicy hongshao beef, and the dry oil (you po) noodles. All satisfy the craving of a hearty, warm bowl of noodles. Soup base is very umami. Spicy oil/sauce is very fragrant, and the spices are well-used. Can leave the mouth a little salty, though. Super cool to see chef pulling the noodle behind the window. read more

The food was extremely salty. We had the lamb with naan, boc choy, and a noodle dish with beef. The lamb dish would have been perfect if there had been less salt. The naan reminds me of a weird in a good way French fry The garlic boc choy wasn't salty, it was extremely bland. While I could see the garlic and it was plentiful, you couldn't taste it The noodle dish only tasted of salt read more

Every noodles I've had at Ox9 MTV is well made. The texture of the noodles is the best thing. The noodles are hand made with slight uneven textures across, very tasty, not those soulless industrial frozen noodles. The soups are also well flavored, especially the spicy flavoring is uniquely nutty and delicious. The service is fast and ordering is straightforward. I enjoyed visiting Ox9 for a simple yet delicious bowl of noodles for various occasions. read more

Amazing authentic Chinese food. Huge portions and service was super speedy. Chill 80's 90's Chinese music plays in the background as you enjoy your delicious hand pulled noodles.

The noodle tastes great! It's chewy and the texture is nice. I ordered the flat wide as per yelp's reviewers' recommendation and it didn't disappoint. The cucumber dish was very satisfying, crunchy, flavorful, and I love how they cut them. Service was fast! You need to get there early or risk waiting in line during busy meal time. It's a casual place, moderate pricing, and feels like a home cooked meal. Soup feel a bit too fatty for me, so coming here too often won't do me good overall. read more

The meat to carbs ratio doesn't feel right. I feel that they can cut down on the amount of noodles without customers complaining.

Toilet is very clean. I don't really give 5 star that often, but I think this new ox 9 deserves it. Their staff is really friendly, you can see that the decoration looks pretty cool. The only thing that annoyed me is probably the noodle machine near the entrance as it is making squick noise, put some WD40 pls!!!!! Food is delicious, they also gave me free seasome ball for grand open, but it was a little bit cold. I would definitely come back again. read more

Got the classic Lanzhou Handpulled Noodles in large flat. I know it's not traditional but i prefer flat noodles over round ones. I also asked for less oil which I think was a good decision. It made the soup less greasy and less spicy (they had extra chili oil you can add on the tables). It was a good meal with a sizable portion. The price is also pretty reasonable. We also got the popcorn chicken which didn't stand out but wasn't disappointing. It was still delicious but you can probably get something similar anywhere else. read more

I recently visited Ox9, which has opened their third location in Mountain View, and I was thoroughly impressed! They serve hand-pulled noodles with a perfect texture--just the right amount of chewiness. The atmosphere is inviting, and the place is spotless. It wasn't too crowded, though that might have been due to the rainy day. With the addition of this spot, there's now some good competition with the other noodle shop nearby. If you're a noodle enthusiast, it's worth checking out both places to see which one becomes your favorite! read more

If you like noodles. This place is awesome. Everything we ate was delicious, and we especially liked the spicy noodles. I highly recommend the wide noodles. You get more of the chewiness of the handmade noodles from the larger noodles. It was really good. Their service was super friendly too. It was our first and they were so understanding and patient. They even took the time to explain some of menu items and try to guide us in the right direction. It's just a really good place. I'll see you there. read more

Great service, delicious dishes at very affordable prices . I will definitely go back!!

The food was great!! My boyfriend said it was the best noodles he had in a long time. He got dry noodles and I got a soup and they were both very flavorful and tasty. The only this is that there really wasn't any service other than them giving us our food and the check since the ordering system was on the phone. There also were some overhead lights in there that kept flickering which gave me a headache. read more

Portions are huge. Taste is mediocre. You leave feeling you've been really stuffed but not sure of what. Lol.

Food here is excessively salty and isn't for human consumption tbh. Definitely one of the worst Chinese food places I've ever been at. Service is mediocre too. Never coming back here again read more
