    Spicy fish soup
    Richard W.

    Located in strip mall in Cupertino, a little off of busy DeAnza Blvd. They only accept cash or Venmo (minus 1/2 star), so be prepared. I ordered spicy beef noodle soup, and you can choose light, or extra spice. I got light spice, but in hindsight, I should have stuck with regular because there was simply no burn. The beef is tenderized perfectly - nice and soft, bok choy and noodles are excellent, well portioned, not over or underdone. Broth is savory and fresh. Overall, an excellent example of traditional beef noodle soup. I tasted some of the spicy fish soup as well - a little odd how the meat is fried and then put into a soup base, but somehow it works. The fish is soft and flavorful. Cold cucumber and veggie plate - I liked the cucumber better - more flavor and easier to chew. Crisp and cruncy. The pea shoots in the veggie plate was a little fibrous and difficult to chew/swallow. Service is as you would expect for this area - their focus is on turnover so don't expect any red carpets being rolled out. Menu is by QR code, again to speed things up and why bother starting any conversations. For that, go elsehwere. Truly above 3 stars, but I'm rounding down. that's all...

    sliced beef with hot oil sauce
    Yumei H.

    I love coming here for the hot spicy fish noodle soup! I've been here a few times and i've always ordered this. The crispy fish batter soaks up the soup and it's delicious! The soup itself is light and the noodle texture is to die for! We also ordered the liangpi and my boyfriend thought it was pretty average (6/10). The meat in the meat burger (肉夹馍) was extremely juicy and tender, but the bread was a bit dry (7.5/10). We also tried the sliced beef in hot oil sauce and we both loved this dish! The hot oil sauce was extremely fragrant and flavorful, but not too spicy (10/10). We came here around 11:40am and the restaurant still had plenty of seats but the restaurant quickly got busy by 12pm.

    House Special Sour & Spicy with Pork with Wide Noodles
    Samantha D.

    Every time I come here I forget it's CASH ONLY!! x__x So I'm putting this upfront to warn y'all! I've eaten here a handful of times and it's always been pretty solid. I like that you have width options for the noodles. I always go for the wide noodles. Came here around 7pm on a weeknight and we were able to sit wherever we wanted. You order through a QR code on the table. The food comes out relatively quickly and hot. I got the Spicy Sour Pork Noodle Soup. I liked the sourness but I think I prefer the pickled preserved veggies in the Spicy Fish Noodle Soup better than the sour chopped veggies in mine. I wish both noodle soups came with more protein though. Overall a solid place to eat if you're craving hand pulled noodle soup

    Mustard fish soup with wide noodles
    Lilith F.

    Pretty good noodles and soup! Service was great, quick and convenient and affordable. I got the mustard fish and wide noodles and liked the mild flavor, bur would probably do a smaller noodle next time because the volume was a bit overwhelming! The century egg and tofu was great, and I would love to get again.

    QQ Noodle serves delicious Chinese noodles. I like the Spicy Fish Noodle Soup I recently got over the hot oil noodles I got when I last came here in 2022. Even though I love sichuan noodles, I actually thought the hot oil noodles dish was unbalanced since the large amount of noodles overpowered the small amount of protein and veggies the dish came with. The spicy fish noodle soup had bok choy and spicy soup in it, so the dish was perfectly balanced and had a good spice level. The noodles are freshly made, and you can taste it when you bite into the bouncy noodles. The price is about $20 a bowl after tax and tip, so it's fair for the amount of high-quality food you get.

    This is my go-to comfort food spot! QQ Noodle offers generous portions at reasonable prices. I usually visit on weekday nights, and while the restaurant is busy, I'm always able to find a seat. The service is extremely efficient, and the waiters all speak Mandarin and English. This is definitely a bustling restaurant, so be prepared for a loud and fun ambiance, with lots of families! Every single noodle dish that I've tried here features homemade, chewy noodles. I've never had such fresh noodles before! My favorite is the house special sour and spicy noodle with pork. The sauce is super savory but not overly salty. The pork pieces are cooked to perfection, and I love the small pieces of daikon and carrots on the side. The beef noodle soup is another favorite, always warm and cozy with an umami broth. I've come here innumerable times, and I always look forward to my next visit.

    Fish noodle soup 4/5 - this broth was very light and I was hoping for more flavor. Lots of noodles and we like the texture of the noodle Chili oil noodle with beef 5/5- this one was very yummy. Not too spicy but has a nice flavor and kick. Came on a weeknight and it was pretty empty

    special hot oil noodle
    Claire L.

    It was so delicious I genuinely was about to order a 2nd dish. You have to get the special hot oil noodle it's just so good. I have also tried the pork garlic before but I feel like that's not what their as known for so you have to do the hot oil noodle if you want a dry noodle or the beef noodle soup if you want a wet noodle. I think #10 and #20 are the most popular dishes from looking around the restaurant. Ugh I am craving this again as I write this review because I'm thinking about how QQ the noodle was and how delicious the sauce was. Can't wait to come back, QQ noodle. You order from your phone and pay with cash, don't forget! It's weird it's 2025 and you still only accept cash, but it works for them I guess. Food came out really fast. No wait for a weekday dinner.

    Suyeon H.

    Cash only. The noodle here is beyond what I've ever tasted. It's so chewy, soft, and tangy? I loved every bite and I want to come back. Food came out quickly and ambiance was much like a local mom and pop restaurant vibe. The beef was so soft and tasty. The soup for the spicy beef noodle was actually really clear and flavorful. Can't wait to come back!

    Sour mustard & grass fish wide noodle soup
    Janet T.

    I came to have lunch with some friends around 12:45pm on a Saturday afternoon. It was a full house, every table was taken. My first time trying this noodle place. It was not bad. I ordered the fish with mustard wide noodle soup dish. I also tried pig's ears and tofu with thousand year old eggs. My friends enjoyed their noodle soup dishes as well. Overall, I would come back and try other dishes. The restaurant atmosphere is not too bad. There is separate gender restrooms available for customers to use.

    Tomato Egg Nooles
    Gloria Z.

    CASH ONLY! Really delicious chewy noodles! The texture is amazing, especially if you get the wide noodles. It's not too thick, and very fresh and chewy, exactly how noodles should be. Their toppings, however, needs some work. I absolutely love tomato eggs, and while it's probably not their best option here, I hope to see them improve their tomato eggs topping more in the future. I would love to come back and try some of their more famous or flavorful toppings since their noodles are so good! The pig ears appetizer was also really good and helped add more flavor to the noodles. The place is very big and has a lot of seating, but it did fill up quickly after opening!

    Egg leek noodle-not so much flavor
    Julia T.

    This is a pretty good noodle spot in Cupertino. Cash only. Lots of seating inside, and on a Saturday night it was not all the way full, so we could sit down right away. We tried the hot spicy fish noodle soup, which had delicously crispy (even in the soup) fried fish, and a good flavor. We also got the leek egg noodle, and the noodles were tasty and chewy, but there wasn't much flavor since there wasn't really a sauce or broth outside the leek and eggs. Seaweed salad appetizer was delicious, and the tofu with preserved egg had great flavor. You order with a QR code then food gets brought to the table.

    Large Plate Chicken Noodles (No Bone)
    Ari A.

    This is one of my favorite places to eat at in Cupertino. QQ Noodle is a no frills, causal and quick service place. Don't let that fool you though. The place is clean and the staff is friendly. There is a QR code at each table and you scan to place your order. The waiters will then bring your food out to you. The food comes out quick and delicious. What we ordered: Liang Pi: This is one of my favorite dishes and not many places make this anymore. QQ Noodles makes my favorite Liang PI and this is a dish I will always order if I see it on the menu in both North Cal and NYC. The noodles are bouncy, the cucumbers refreshing and just the right level of spice. No frills deliciousness. Sour Mustard and Grass Fish Noodle Soup: I tried it with wide noodle but next time I think I will get the round. The wide noodles are hand pulled which have that great texture and chew. It is done well so there is not a mouthful of dough like some other places. Fish is plentiful and so is the portion of sour mustard. Large Plate Chicken Noodles (No Bone). Not on their printed menu, this was an option when you scan the QR code. They use chicken thighs and its braised with potato. Flavorful and just the right level of spice thats too spicy but offers a little kick for flavor. If you are in the neighborhood, stop by for a quick meal. TP tea in the same strip mall is also a wonderful Bubble tea place that makes their drinks with brewed tea.

The dishes leaned slightly on the sweeter side, which added to the nostalgic feel. The standout for me was the beef tendon braised soup! The soup was hearty with picked mustard elevating the natural flavor of the beef, super satisfying, perfect for me to order because I usually don't eat the noodles.

We were asked to pick any table - mostly booths. There's a QR code to scan and place your order. After peruse quite an array of items we picked the ma po tofu and the beef with onions. Service was minimal- we weren't even sure presented with 2 cups and a carafe of water to start. Our order arrived and we got a complimentary seaweed miso soup. Soup was quite good with real seaweed - not the dehydrated stuff in some Japanese restaurants. Surprisingly the food was delicious! The ma po tofu was very authentic. There's schezwan peppers or Mala in it but it was not overpowering that it numbs your tastebuds! The tofu was soft and silky. The beef had good flavor and balanced the meal out. Beef was tender. Overall we enjoyed our meal. Will definitely come back to try other dishes on the menu If you're not familiar with traditional Chinese entrees the menu can be quite daunting and a turn off. They definitely utilize all animal parts!

    I'm super surprised how good this restaurant is. In general I think Bay Area Chinese food sucks…read morecompared to SoCal and I often drive down to SoCal just because I miss more authentic Chinese food there. However I can honestly say this restaurant is just as good as the best Hunan/Sichuan food from the San Gabriel area. This used to be a different Sichuan dry pot restaurant that was so so and I really haven't gone back since the new one opened up. The name is also really misleading because many Taiwanese restaurant use Grandma as the name. As a foodie this restaurant is legit. It's in a small plaza shared with another Taiwanese restaurant so parking can be difficult but there are plenty of street parking right next to the restaurant. The interior is clean and well organized. The service is prompt and good enough. They ask for reviews but didn't promise some freebie for a semi fake 5 star review which is great. I never leave a good review just for a freebie because my integrity is way more expensive than freebies. The food is phenomenal and authentic in every way. The frogs are tender and the spices are not overwhelming and brings out the flavor of the frog meat just right. The cured pork (pig face meat) is very rare in the states. It's also cured properly to give the authentic hunan flavor. They also mix it with raddish slices which is also rare in most Chinese restaurants here in the states. Even the conch with bamboo shots surprised me in how thin the slices of the conches are. It's also flavored without being too spicy nor too salty. Everything is on point. I do wish they used better white rice but that alone is not enough for me to take off any stars. This is just a wonderful restaurant that's on par with my favorite hunan restaurant in San Gabriel and I'm so glad I found it because I'm sure going to go back every week now.
