Had a great meal at Special Noodle. We ordered the chicken chow mein, pan-fried pork buns, and spicy wontons, and loved everything. The flavors were spot on, and you can tell the dishes are made fresh. The portion sizes are generous, which makes it even better value. Definitely a solid spot to satisfy noodle and dumpling cravings. The service was quick and the place is clean and well maintained. read more

Despite opening in 2024, the Newark location of Special Noodle feels like they are still getting things down: there is furniture that has not been set (outdoor furniture were crammed inside) and very limited staffing. That said, the food is very decent. The XLB and pan fried dumplings were great and their broths were balanced well, though they are a little pricey for their portions. The dan dan noodles were a much better deal and I would recommend for bigger eaters. read more

Special Noodle - Pan fried soup dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Newark, California

I think Special Noodles is my favorite place for XLBs and pan fried dumplings. The service is good. Ordering on the phone is easy. There are lots of tables. The only down side of this location is there is no air conditioning thus not really inviting to go there in the summer time. The food is good. I tried a lot of the menu. I think the only dish I've tried and could pass are the pork buns and cheesy fried shrimp balls. The prices are ok. Service is good. Solid place. read more

Special Noodle is a no frills spot offering delicious spicy noodle dishes, baos, and a variety of dumplings. I shared the spicy beef noodle soup and spicy chicken buns with my friend. The spicy beef noodle soup was the star of the night - very flavorful broth and tender beef chunks! I wasn't a fun of the spicy chicken buns so I'd pass on that. I'll be back for their dumplings though. I love that they're open late too! read more

Food is hot and fresh to order. Really enjoyed the chicken and veggies and bokchoy with mushrooms the most, tbh. Next would be the shrimp XLB. The fried pork buns could have more pork in them. The spicy noodle soup would be a 8/10 spicy, just FYI! The pork potstickers were pretty standard. Service was fast and courteous. Ambiance gives a pure family setting. Sounds Ike it's a new place, it's spacious enough inside and the wallpaper is gorgeous. I'd likely come back again if I was in the area. read more

Ordering online is quick and easy. I got the soup dumplings, spicy wontons and pan fried buns. The wait wasn't too long either. The staff brought my items to me as I waited at the bench. Customer service is really good here compared to Milpitas location. The restaurant was also clean. All the items I got were delicious and portion sizes were decent. The spicy wonton wasn't spicy, add some chili oil to make it spicy. read more

Loved it! The menu out states how hot the food comes, and it is true. Everything was freshly made and came out hot. We ordered the pan fried buns and xiao long bao. The buns came out first, really crispy and flavorful. The skin for the xiao long bao was pretty thin, too, which is a bit hard to find these days. All in all, I'd come back again. I already ate a few before taking pics read more

Came here for a family dinner and it was delicious! The standout dishes were the spicy smoked bamboo shoots and cured pork (has numbing mala peppercorns!), green beans with eggplant (good wok hei) and beef wrap (pancake was perfectly crispy and doughy). The egg tofu had a great silken texture too. The server was friendly and ambiance was clean and comfortable. read more

I have been wanting to go there, seeing their high ratings. Their crispy dumplings/buns are really good but rest seemed okay ish. Their woodear mushroom salad was a little too sour for my taste. Dumpling time woodear salad is twice better. And the kung pao chicken was sweet, is it supposed to be sweet? Service was quick and ambience was good too. But just the food didn't feel very authentic Chinese. read more

Absolutely love this chain of restaurants, they deliver on comforting Chinese dishes. I always order the pan fried dumplings, the best in the bay. They really know how to get a good crisp. The flavor is impeccable inside and you pair it with the vinegar, it becomes chef kiss amazing. I like ordering the eggplant too, it has great flavor and a good wok hay smokiness. Another good item is the stone soup, with literal hot stones at the bottom of the pot. The broth is light, but the Sichuan is strong and delicious. The service was great, very attentive to our needs and gave us more napkins without asking. The food comes out fairly quick and steaming hot. This location has a fair amount of seats with more in the back in you have larger parities. You can see them making the food through their glass window area. Overall, I really enjoy this restaurant, in particular this location too. It's very centralized with a large parking and right next door is a feng cha too! read more

What used to be known as Pan Fried Dumplings has now been renamed to Special Noodle. There are multiple Special Noodle locations in the bay, however, I prefer the Newark location. Nestled in a plaza, there is plenty of parking in the large lot. On a Saturday during lunch, there were plenty of tables available. I've come here multiple times and we've never had to wait for a table. Scan the QR code for the menu to order. Our favorites include: -Pan fried pork buns - these are a must get! These are my personal favorite. They're piping hot with a lot of soup inside, a crisp bottom, and juicy filling. -Soup dumplings (xlb) - these are larger than your average xlb with good flavor, soup, and meaty filling. -Salt and pepper ribs - the meat falls off the bone, has great salt and pepper seasoning without being overly salty, the addition of bell peppers and onions stir fried adds some fragrance and crunch. -Green beans or green beans with eggplant - both are great. They're stir fried with great seasoning; a little kick from the pepper. Really delicious and a great veggie to add to your meal. -Osmanthus cake - steamed to perfection, these soft and pillowy osmanthus cakes are a great dessert for the end. Ever so slightly sweet and fragrant! Portions are very shareable and are sizable! We always order multiple dishes and have enough leftovers for another meal. Service has always been attentive when we're here and they are quick to check you out when you're finished with your meal. Have been here multiple times and will definitely return! read more

Really enjoyed this spot! The thumb-sized pan-fried buns were super cute and packed with juicy flavor. The crispy bottom had that perfect golden crunch, and the soup inside was delicious without being too greasy. The ice flower potstickers were definitely a highlight -- beautifully presented with a thin, crispy lace that made every bite extra satisfying. Crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful inside. Also loved the stone pot rice noodles. Served piping hot, the broth was rich and comforting, and the noodles had a great texture. Perfect for a cozy meal. read more

Been wanting to try this place, came in on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm and sat down immediately, there is plenty of parking in this plaza. We ordered our food via the QR code on our phones. We each got to try different things and we enjoyed all the food that came out, my favorites were the pork XLB, beef friend rice(not pictured), fried shrimp with cheese balls. Food comes out fairly quick after orders are placed. Definitely can share with many people if you order a lot, we had enough food to bring home for the 3 of us. Ambiance is family friendly and there are plenty of seated available. read more

If you're craving authentic flavors with a comforting kick, Special Noodle on Jarvis is a must-visit! I tried the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup, and it hit all the right notes--the broth was rich and layered with flavor, the beef cuts were tender and juicy, and the noodles had that perfect chewy bite that keeps you coming back for more. The Soup Dumplings were absolutely addictive--savory, delicate, and bursting with hot, flavorful broth in every bite. Honestly, I could've eaten a dozen and still wanted more. A surprise highlight was the Pan-Fried Dumplings. They came out piping hot with a crisp golden crust and juicy filling inside--something I hadn't really tried in this style before, but now it's on my must-order list. Finally, the Beef Wrap was a delightful finish--crispy layers hugging tender beef with just the right seasoning, making it both hearty and satisfying. Overall, every dish was memorable, and the balance of textures and flavors makes this spot stand out. Newark is lucky to have this gem--I'll definitely be back! read more

We had such a great experience at Special Noodle in Newark! The restaurant is spacious and we were seated in the booths. Service was very good. You order on your phone through a QR code.

Also a very generous portion * XLB- arrived hot and the soup inside was very good *snowflake potstickers- so pretty and delish!! We got the pork, shrimp and chives. I loved the different textures * pork belly Noodle soup- loved the noodles and soup!! Pork belly came in huge pieces so I didn't have any * onion pancake- this was too bland for me Overall we had a great experience and left very full. read more
