Food: I've given a few different dishes a try here and I personally love the dry egg noodles with the bone marrow. Parking: It can be tricky because this plaza is busy! They have a de milk tea and ice cream shows so you can easily walk around. That said, there is parking. No need to street park. Service: They've always been kind and quick here.

The combination noodle is pho noodle and egg noodles- I wish it was the flat wide noodles and egg noodles! The broth was ok and there's a lot of condiments on the table to make the broth more flavorful. I like the chili oil and pickled garlic! Price is ok I think it's a bit overpriced for what it is. Would come back if I'm in the area but wouldn't go out of my way for it

It's…read morebeen high on my list because every time I came to the movie theater next door, I'd see a long line of folks waiting to get in. The service was truly excellent. Jeff, the chef (rhymes!), was kind and welcoming. He could tell it was our first time and went out of his way to check in, give advice on what to order, and how to enjoy it. The wagyu and chicken soup were both outstanding -- flavorful, hearty, and healthy. Here's the part that took it over the top for me: they had accidentally forgotten our fried tofu. I happened to be nearby this morning and stopped in, fully expecting them to ask for proof of purchase or be resistant. Instead, they just handed it to me. No questions. That's top-notch customer service. I'm now a promoter and will definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend!

Staff are friendly, spot is pretty small but kid-friendly and self-serve utensil tables. The Wagyu Soup Noodle bowl was super bland. So much so that my partner had to add a ton of chili sauce, and I had to add other seasoning toppings. Would be open to trying the beef noodle soup next time but the Waygu soup bowl wasn't it. Pig ears were pretty good but sliced super thin.. thinner than the onions..

来Santa Cruz玩的时候被朋友带来这家"四姐Special Noodle"，真的有点惊喜。…read more 首先是味道，很难得在这边能吃到这么接近国内的菜。汤底很有层次，不是那种单一的咸或者油，反而有一点慢炖出来的厚度。 其次是整体氛围，很接地气，没有那种刻意"网红"的感觉，反而像国内街边一家认真做菜的小店。服务也挺友好，不会过度热情，但该有的都会有。 总体来说，如果你在Santa Cruz想吃一顿中餐，这家是可以放心来的。

I think this spot is way cleaner and tastes better though. Every few weeks I would come here to get a sizzling steak plate to satisfy my cravings. They let you choose between black pepper sauce, mushroom sauce, or both. I love getting both because I can't decide. The noodles are so good with the sauce too. My partner usually tries something different. They have curry rice and beef stew rice as well. Both pretty good. Personally they're too plain for me. I still would only want to get the sizzling plate here. The service here has been pretty good so far for the many times I've been here. Ordering and serving were quick

Sometimes i park across the street from the other plaza since the parking lot is bigger. Tungtungtungsahur rates 5/5

FOOD: 4 SERVICE: 4…read moreAMBIANCE: 3 VALUE: 4 We were looking for something different for lunch and we came across Paik's. A no thrills Korean restaurant specializing in their black bean sauce rice/noodles. We ordered: Fried Dumplings - minced pork and vegetables dumplings deep fried to perfection. Crunchy, meaty and just need a dousing of vinegar. Jajang Rice - rice covered in shrimp egg omelette with the black bean jajang sauce on the side. The omelette was done right, not dry, but the black bean jajang sauce was really what made the dish. Beef Jjamppong - noodle soup with beef slices and mixed vegetables. Comforting bowel of needles with thinly sliced beef and cabbage. Jajangmyeon - their signature noodles with black bean sauce. Very umami and the noodles were done just right. Cheap (for nowadays) and good food, what else can you ask for?

We usually go to the Mtn. View location and finally decided to try this one…read more This place is pretty crowded during the week nights and we had to wait about 20 mins. Once seated, service is good and food came out pretty fast. Interestingly, they have a few more dishes in their menu that are not offered in the Mtn. View location. We ordered: - Chicken Karaage: Crispy outside and tender inside. The portion size is on the smaller side and wasn't served as hot (temp) compared to the Mtn. View location - Crispy Onigiri Bites (with Chashu): Excellent. Chashu is tasty and the onigiri is crispy. This one is available only at this location. - Miso Black Cod (2 pcs): Delicious. Soft, melt in your mouth buttery and flavorful - Nabeyaki Udon: Light and satisfying. Quality is same as Mtn. View location - Unagi Siero Set: This is a pretty big set good enough for 2. Comes with eel over rice in a steamer basket, veggies in a steamer basket, fried tempura and side of udon. In general, food is equally as good as the one in Mtn. View with minor differences. There is always a line if you come during peak time. Parking lot is small and you may need to find street parking.

This hit the spot!…read more There was a long wait to enter. We just stopped by because we were in the area and were craving something warm. We've never heard of the place before but it was clearly very popular. We were just 2 so we were seated in 10mins, but others that were a party of 4+ that were in line before us had to wait for 45min+. So I would not wait here for more than 20min for the food, but 10min is fine enough. We got the beef donburi with a mini udon, as well as a curry udon with a side of shrimp and veggies tempura. The beef donburi was very good and hit the spot, as well the curry udon. You just can't go wrong with those orders imo. I wish we didn't get the sides because that was just too much food. Service wasn't the best but that's to be expected since it was so packed. We had to catch our waiters attention everytime we wanted to order, get more water, or get the check. And that was pretty hard to do, to get them to look at us because they were just running around. We were seated on a counter top with other people and we didn't mind but it's something to note if that's not your favorite type of seating.

Went here on New Year's Eve for a warm bowl and tried both the H4 - Nam Vang and the filet mignon…read morepho, both with clear noodles. The Nam Vang came with sliced pork, ground pork, and one prawn in a clean, savory broth--light but flavorful. The filet mignon pho was a solid upgrade: tender beef, silky noodles, and a broth that leaned richer but still easy to sip. Noodles had a nice bounce in both bowls. I was craving a vermicelli bowl or bánh mì too, but heads up--they only serve pho and noodle soups here. No rice plates or sandwiches. Still, if you're in the mood for Vietnamese comfort food, this spot delivers fast and clean.

The location itself is always busy and the parking lot is full due to the plaza's popularity. The store itself is your regular fast food noodle place.

The soup itself is mostly the same for all noodle bowls. You have the option to get one type of noodle or two! The meats are as listed. If there's any confusion, the menu images are accurate depictions of the entrees. Service is quick and they'll always make sure you have water. The store itself is also kept clean. I love how they have kept the dividers up for the booths even after the pandemic. Personally it makes me feel more separated from other diners and the menus are helpfully present on the plexiglass walls. Will be back for a quick lunch if I'm craving a bowl of tasty noodle soup!
