    I was in the mood for cucumber salad and spicy wonton. I went to the mall to my normal spot and it was packed. I used Yelp to find a place reasonably close. This place has enough parking and during a busy lunch hour I was able to get seated for 1 in less than 3 minutes. I scanned the code on the wall and got my first dish in less than 5 minutes. It was fun having the cucumber spiraled that way. The wontons were pillowy soft and yummy. Nice waiters getting you water and taking away dishes. It was a really good experience. I'll definitely be back.

    Delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]this location isnt as big as the san mateo location so it does fill up at peak dinner time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] come a bit early if you want a table quickly. you can also order to go easy parking in plaza love the spicy cold noodles and also the wonton in the sauce! i can dip everything in their red chili oil sauce. it just fantastic!

    Exactly what I wanted. Not only was the food delicious, but the service was wonderful. They are so efficient with bringing your food when it's done being cooked- hot and fresh, cleaning tables after every guest, packing your left overs in to-go containers and checking you out. The staff work well as a team. We ordered the beef braised knife cut noodles, pork buns, spicy wontons and cucumber salad. Scrumptious.

    Soybean paste dry noodles with pork
    Peter N.

    Dang,,, we got lucky and beat the Friday evening rush! At about 6:30, the restaurant was about half-capacity and we were able to grab a table of 2. But, I would say by 7p, there was a whole waitlist that formed. But the line shouldn't be a a worry since the food comes out literally less than 5 minutes after ordering! I have never had hand-pulled noodles come out almost instantly. I ordered the soybean paste dry noodles with pork *chef's kiss*,,, I actually ordered the small round noodles and I am a big fan! The noodles are customizable per your preference, I just so happen to really enjoy the smaller noodles over the commonly ordered thick/flat noodles. We finished our food and the check came out almost instantly. After a few rounds of water, they kindly asked that we leave so that they could seat the next round of customers.

    Great little spot for hand pulled noodles. The parking lot was a bit tight and I didn't realize they had lots of other locations around the Bay (Santa Clara, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San Mateo, Fremont, Berkeley). We did takeout and there was a crowd waiting and checking in. Popular spot. The food was great - I enjoyed my chili oil noodles. The flavor popped and the wide noodles in the dish were notable. My son's noodles were even wider and he really liked his soup. Good place. Authentic.

    Popcorn chicken and chili oil noodles with braised beef
    Amanda M.

    Overall, this scratched the itch for hand pulled noodles but nothing blew me away. My boyfriend ordered the spicy ground pork dry noodles and I ordered the chili oil noodles with braised beef, and we shared the popcorn chicken. I thought the portion sizes were generous (I ordered extra beef on my dish in anticipation of there being a small amount of meat), and the noodles tasted fresh and densely satisfying. However, the beef was overly fatty in my opinion, and the chili oil felt a little flat (I feel like chili oil wontons have more layers of flavor). The popcorn chicken was also a big portion size and crispy; we liked it but have also had more flavorful or interesting popcorn chicken at other Chinese restaurants. As for service: we ordered on an app and our food came out within 5 minutes, despite being peak dinner time.

    Really good beef noodles, broth is fragrant, chilli oil is authentic. Cucumber salad is probably the best in Bay Area too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Casual noodles place, usually not too busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Ox9 has been a family favorite and I always find myself coming back for a comforting bowl of beef noodle soup whenever I visit home in the Bay Area. Ox9 specializes in Lanzhou hand pulled noodles. They have different sizes of noodles ranging to thin to flat noodles. My favorite is the large flat noodles in the sichuan beef noodle soup. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We visited on a Monday late afternoon and there were lots of seating options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was very quick and we got our food within 10 minutes of ordering. We also ordered the popcorn chicken, which was perfectly crispy and seasoned. We saw other tables order the beef chow mein (stir fry noodles) so we were influenced to try it as well. I was initially worried it would not be good as they specialize in noodle soups but we were so shocked that the noodles were SO GOOD. Despite being stir fried, the noodles were fresh and chewy, had the perfect amount of sauce and the beef was tender and soft. The portion size was also HUGE and we had lots of food to take home for dinner. Pricing was super reasonable, each dish was under $15 which is hard to find these days. Definitely one of my go to spots for an affordable and comfort meal!

    N.1       Spicy Ground Pork Dry Noodles 麻辣肉酱面
    Cameron K.

    Went here with my parents and they told me this is their favorite Chinese noodle place to go to! The 辣椒 is honesty delicious and I'm tempted to buy some from them to keep at home. They do hand pulled noodles here so you know you are getting good quality. I would definitely eat here again and it's for a decent price too! (under $20 pp)

    N.1.2   Chili Oil Noodles(Wide Noodles) 油泼面
    Ethan C.

    I would avoid ordering any noodle soups here unless you want it with a hearty side of ingested microplastics! We stopped by here for dinner looking for some tasty noods. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior and service is kind of classic no-frills Chinese restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered the Chili Oil Noodles and Mala Beef Noodle Soup. Chili Oil Noodles (5/5): This one is lathered and drenched in bright red savory chili oil, balanced by a nice dosage of acidic vinegar. There's a fast food chow mein flavor that I think goes well with the dish. Noodles are wide and voluptuously bouncy as well! Mala Beef Noodle Soup (1/5): This dish was a disaster. The steaming hot, greasy soup comes served in a CHEAP plastic bowl. I'm talking that really low-quality plastic that sounds hollow and light if you tap it. I don't think serving such a hot bowl of greasy soup in a bowl like this is a good idea, talk about microplastics! Besides that, the meat was tough and the soup just tasted like mala from an instant packet. It was just a big pool of lifeless grease. Overall, chili oil noodles are good but avoid the mala beef noodle soup.

    A.1 Cucumber with Garlic Sauce
    Julie S.

    This place is so good. I have been kind of in the mood for hand-pulled noodles since going to Season's Noodles in Mountain View. This location is a bit closer to San Jose. I did see they also have a spot in Valley Fair, but this one is way easier for parking. We showed up about 10 minutes to 5 for an early dinner, but they don't actually open until 5. You walk in and take a seat. Then you order from your phone, and the food comes out pretty quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's not a lot of fancy ambiance, but it did seem like the focus is on the fast and delicious food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the original #1 dish, which is a beef broth with hand-pulled noodles. I got the flat wide noodles, and they were excellent. They have chili oil and other condiments on the table if you want to add more spice to your soup. The serving size is really generous. We also tried the garlic cucumber, which was really delicious, and the spicy wontons, which I saw recommended on Yelp. I will definitely be back when I'm craving noodles.

    C.2 Spicy Pig Ears
    Don L.

    Food was bomb and perfectly seasoned. Noodles tasted fresh, spice level was perfect with a scoop of their house made chili crisp, and the spicy pig ears were so addicting. Service was excellent and they kept refilling our waters and checking up on us. Awesome meal in Cupertino. Will definitely come back.

    N.1.2     Sichuan Braised Beef Stew Noodles 川香牛肉面
    Amanda S.

    Been going here for a year. Very nice, flavorful broth and chewy noodles, which I love. Beef is tender, but portion size has seemed to gone down. You order on your phone and the food comes out very quickly. Their marinated cucumbers are also very good. Overall, one of my go to spots for comfort food.

    Do they use peanut or peanut oil in any of the dishes?

    Nope, no peanut. only have sesame on the top of spicy wonton, sesame seeds in the homemade spicy oil. You can always let waiter know if you need any accommodation, they are able to help. Thanks.

    Any vegetarian or vegan options?

    The chili oil noodles were a great vegetarian option when we went!

    Are they allowing dine in?

    They only have 2 tiny tables outside right now. Expect to get your food for takeout here

    Congratulations on your new opening, can't wait to try! Are you offering Pick-Up only? Don't the noodles get too mushy when packaged to-go?

    Mine didn't get mushy, but they were a little cold. Still delicious though!

My order is always #8 which is their House Special Sour & Spicy w/ Pork Noodle Soup. I've been recently loving the round noodles, but the flat ones are great too. The portion size is HUGE, they give soo much noodle. Could use more pork & toppings, but still amazing regardless. I love the diced potatoes and carrots. I get less spicy, so it's not that spicy even though it looks very spicy. My family usually also gets the sliced beef with hot oil sauce to share as an appetizer, and it's yummy too! Service is quick, and they have big tables. They have a good amount of tables too, although it can get pretty busy on the weekends for lunch.

    My friend Sarah was craving beef noodle soup and I remembered that this place had good Chinese…read morenoodles so figured it wouldn't disappoint. This was probably my third visit. We were looking to catch up in person on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. All tables were full and there were a couple of other parties waiting inside when we walked in, but the wait for a table was not bad at all. It is on the noisier side since the clientele is primarily Asian, and service tends to be short since that's what would be considered authentic. I got the beef noodle soup with the wide noodles since it was a chilly day and I wanted something warm. In the past I've gotten the tomato and eggs sauce noodles, which was very tasty and not a bad option for a hot day as the noodles themselves come out cold. Make sure to bring some floss if you get the beef noodle soup, some of the meat gets stuck in my teeth every time. Service does tend to be short so don't expect anyone to wait around for you to order or extra pleasantries. But this isn't surprising given the type of restaurant so it didn't detract from the meal. The check comes to you when you're about done so there is no need to flag anyone down after finishing. I would definitely revisit if I have cash on hand and am in the area. I would recommend this spot to anyone interested in authentic Chinese noodles, hot or cold.

    TLDR: Food here is always yummy. Portions are a good size…read more They offer some set noodle soup bowls.. but my preference is to select exactly what I want for my noodle soup. First you select a broth (I don't do spicy, so I always pick their chicken broth; but friends and family enjoy the spicy flavors a lot). Then you pick your style of noodle (the fish noodle was fun to try, but I prefer the ramen or the knife-cut or rice noodles). Then you pick your toppings - a large variety of both meat and veggie options! It comes with a little veggies (spinach, corn, mushroom, bamboo) too. My favorite appetizer is their rice spicy honeycomb tripe - great marinade! Recently tried the Hainan chicken dish and it was good too (though I would prefer more ginger than scallion in the oil and the roasted peanuts, garlic cucumber are yummy too!). In the past we have also had the fried rice, which my kiddos really love. But the true highlight is to get the "large" soup noodles where they serve it in a bowl larger than your whole head. Didn't get it this past visit because we weren't that hungry... but it is always a fun order! I enjoy having the treat of a drink with their combo deal. :)

I've brought my Teochew dad before and he thought it wasn't very authentic. I thought it tasted fine though, but my dad is incredibly picky. My second visit was just me and my partner. We heard about the $9.99 Hainan Chicken deal to promote the opening of their new restaurant location. There was a long wait, as you can imagine for a deal like this! We waited maybe 30 minutes before being seated. The waitress immediately clocked that I could speak Cantonese when seating me. That auntie's got a gift! Especially since most Chinese folks my age in the area seem to be Mandarin speakers. I'm still wondering how she knew! We each ordered a dish of the Hainan chicken rice. The soup that comes with it is absolutely delicious! My partner and I got different cuts of chicken. His was very bony and mine was mostly meat, which suited me just fine, but he was not as happy He'll probably order a dish without bones next time we come here. I really liked the ginger scallion sauce as well. Overall, I had a great experience and the portions were huge. Would absolutely come back another time!

Note that I said Taiwanese Chinese not Taiwanese because they were the type of food that when Chinese soldiers would cook/eat when they first retreated to Taiwan so they don't have the same ingredients they had. The new location is now next to Starbucks instead of the other end of the plaza. The place is clean but slightly smaller. They also changed their menu slightly and they are definitely competing with Duan Chun Zhen across the street. They both offer beef noodle soup so I'll mostly commenting on the difference. Liang definitely gives you more beef (meat, tendon, tripe) but it's also about 50% more expensive. They also added Chinese sauerkraut which makes the soup base very different. I personally prefer the 13 spices used in Duan. The noodles are also different. The texture of Duan is more consistent but Liang feels more handmade. Overall I'd prefer Duan over Liang but Liang has more choices such as beef pancake. In other words if you just want noodles Duan is a better choice but if you want more types of food this is an ok choice. There are also more choices for tea here. Service is alright and it's weird that you cannot order directly using the QR code which only offers the menu. The location is clean and bright which

Beef Brisket Rice Noodle - rice noodle itself was a bit on the thick/tough side compared to the thin, soft yet chewy texture at some restaurants. The beef brisket was tender, but the sauce itself was a bit bland overall; it was salty enough but felt a bit boring after a few bites. Adding some of the soy sauce at the table gave some savory sweetness to the dish which I recommend. Sampan Congee - Flavor was really good, and the peanuts were a great add to this given its crispy texture and savory taste. The congee itself was pretty standard and not the most velvety texture I'd prefer, but still pretty decent. Curry fish balls and pork skin - has a kick, decent curry flavor. No complaints as it was pretty good fish balls and pork skin. Service was super fast and friendly. Would recommend if you're craving some congee and rice noodles.
