    So my out of town friends wanted to try out "special noodle". They sent me a link to the restaurant via Google map, but I still somehow navigated to the wrong restaurant when I punched it in the car's navigation system. They're both on the same street...just 6 minutes apart. I didn't realize there'd be two special noodle on same street. Since my husband and I already got seated by the time we realized we were at different restaurants, my friends decided to come to me instead. Luckily, the food did not disappoint. I did 4 add ons (brisket, tendon, wood ear, and pork stomach). The ingredients were all pretty solid. The rice noodle was good. Broth was great. I added the spicy sauce into my broth - their spice is fragrant and flavorful. Overall, it's a solid choice. I'd want to come back and try their Hainan chicken next time.

    TLDR: Food here is always yummy. Portions are a good size. 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. :)

    Food: the noodles were super disappointing. Stale. No flavor. Tried their special fish maw noodle and got 2 Morchella mushroom and 2 fish maw pieces, and some cordyceps. They were the only two that stood out. The rest felt like all thrown in. The cold yellow chicken was icky and super salty. Do not recommend. Bad quality food. Avoid. Service: neutral. Not good not bad. Ambiance: big, roomy place. Surprisedly lots of people...

    Highly recommend the delicious , tender, and authentic Hainanese chicken. Must order. We had 1/2 chicken. The chicken soup was very tasty soup and costed $1. The stirred fried green bean with minced meat was good texture with flavors. Ordered a whole Hainanese chicken for our Lunar New Year's Eve dinner

    Grabbed some takeout for lunch the other day and it was a tasty experience. Attempted to order online and the Chowbus website now features a $1 convenience fee in addition list price on items. Called in and was able to get their hainan chicken noodle combo special for $13.95 without the $1 convenience fee. My order was ready for pickup within ~10 minutes. Parking is plentiful in the private strip mall lot. The hainan chicken noodle combo features 1/4 hainan chicken served with a tasty soup broth and plenty of noodles, perfect for a couple lunches. The restaurant features 3% cash discount except menu items on special.

    We were looking for a place and saw Special Noodle Soup. At first we thought it was the chain restaurant called Special Noodle, but it was completely different. But, I am glad we ended up trying it. The parking lot was decent sized. But can get crowded as it shares the same lot with the Indian Market. The restaurant is fairly decent sized. The decor is simple and humble. It has another area that has plenty of room for larger parties. The have two separate multi-user men and women restrooms. The service is friendly, attentive, and patient. Our friend ordered the Chiu Chow Brined Free Ranged Duck over Rice (3/5). He wished the duck was served hot vs the room temp. My wife ordered the Original Chicken Broth with flat rice noodles (4/5). All soups served with corn, spinach, and mushrooms. It came out and after one sip, she said, "oh, we are coming back!" I ordered the Signature Hainan Chicken over Rice (4/5). The woodear & cucumber salad was so good! The Hainan rice was pretty good. The cold chicken was flavorful and the ginger scallion sauce didn't have the oil as I expected. But still tasty. Oh, the roasted cocktail peanuts were crunchy and toasty. I'd get this again! Honey Citron Drink (no pic) - sure I could get a whole jar myself and make this but I was prepping for our outdoor concert at the Mountain Winery. I'll be back to try their soups. Support your local business.

    Love their Hainan chicken, vegetable dishes and coconut jelly. Been here about 5x over 2 years and they are consistent. Probably best Hainan chicken and coconut desert (when they still have it!) I've had in the US. Build your own noodle soup is less than $10 and good, we like the Laksa. Really like the choy sum in soup and squid and bean sprout stir fry. Curry is also surprising solid.

    Tried this place twice. Saw their big poster from outside the restaurant about their Fish Maw Chicken noodle soup, I decided to try right away. Came right after store opened so no wait time. My suggestion is to arrive early or late otherwise once you hit lunch hour, it will be a long wait. Fish Maw Chicken Soup: Soup was awesome, very rich in flavor. They not only give you two big piece of fish maw, the fish maw was very thick and flavor was all absorbed to it. They gave a lot of mushrooms and other vegetables to enhance the flavor of the soup. Noodles are all right, not too outstanding when the soup takes all the credit. Chicken is Hainan style, and meat is chewy, not the kind of chewy you cannot eat. It's the fresh meat kind of chewy. Overall, this dish is very tasty, service is great, the restaurant is clean and will come back again if I have a chance.

    Hainan Chicken, Choy Sum in Supreme Broth
    Hannah C.

    The perfect comfort food spot! I come here too frequently, and every time, I leave feeling satisfied. I usually visit for dinner, and I am always able to find a table, even when there are quite a few customers. The restaurant is unassuming, and the service is efficient. The food is incredibly delicious! I absolutely love the signature hainan chicken. The chicken itself is so tender and pairs well with the accompanying savory ginger-scallion sauce. I also love the vegetable noodle soup, called "Choy Sum in Supreme Broth." The broth is unbelievably umami, and the dish is packed with vegetables. Every time I feel like eating reliably delicious Chinese food, I come here!

    Delicious C11 Beef Satay Combo with meats, mushrooms, and veggies. Quite spicy
    AiFen S.

    My friends from out of town were visiting, and the kiddos love Chinese noodle soup. I remember seeing this store with lines out of it every time I would drive by on my way to errands in the area, so we quickly settled on it. We arrived around 11:30 and there were plenty of tables available. They do have a QR code to order, but the waitress kindly gave us menus and the kiddos went to town looking at all their options. The waitress also fielded our questions about the best broths for kids who like spicy (Chiu Chow was the recommendation) as well as what were the ingredients in certain dishes. I read the reviews and remember that the Hainan chicken was praised so we ordered a half Hainan chicken for 3 adults and 3 kiddos to share along with a noodle bowl each. I opted for the Beef Satay Combo. Shortly after the food arrived. The waitress was thoughtful about asking if we needed any sharing bowls or plates and brought that out quickly. We dug in and enjoyed our food which was plentiful. I really enjoyed the broth and the fixings inside were generous. I ended up needing to take half of it home. The chicken was also delicious, and I would definitely come back to do a takeout order of that. During the time we ate, the restaurant quickly filled up. I do want to note that at one point a dog barked very loudly which did startle us as we could not see where the dog was (it appeared to be in the carrier). When we left the restaurant had a huge line, so I am glad we decided to eat an earlier lunch. Would definitely recommend and am looking forward to coming here to fulfill my Hainan chicken and noodle soup craving!

    I picked up the Hanan chicken plate from here. I liked how it came with a salad, pickles and peanuts. They were all very tasty. However, I was not a big fan of the chicken. The issue was there was barely any chicken, it was mostly bones and I was not a fan of the taste either. Perhaps it's an acquired taste and...I don't have it. Ended up junking the meal.

    Laksa - spicy good
    Ronny T.

    Haven't been for awhile and was craving laksa. Still good. The menu may be a bit challenging for those less adventurous eaters. It all looks good to me tbh! Service is efficient though I would have liked water refill earlier. Basic decor and vibe but it works if you happen to have a craving for laksa!

    C04 Chicken Combo
    Kim l.

    Friend wanted to try this place. We headed over for lunch. It was empty. We grabbed a seat and ordered two of the c04 soup Hainan chicken combo $13.50. It came out quick. The soup looked a bit unappealing, like it was thrown together. The broth was light and good. Lots of noodles. Chicken was nicely presented and was a tad salty but tasty. Ps 3% cash discount doesn't apply to items that are specials.

Had a great experience prior to this with a friend so I wanted to bring my mom to try. My experience from the service however was a little uncomfortable. When I went with my mom there was no customers. The server seated us at the bench closest to the wall (the table was pushed into the bench against the wall so we had to move it.) Apparently a lot of the legs on some of the tables and benches are wobbly so they put things under to balance it. The servers told us to move it back under the table since we pushed the table out to sit into the bench. My mom is older and she has a hard time walking, she asked to switch to another table where the benches and tables were already spaced out properly because it is hard for her to bend down and move the things under the table legs. The server gave my mom an attitude and asked why two people couldn't fit into our current table.

The menu has quite a variety of options, including cold dishes, stir-fries, dry pot dishes, soups, rice/noodles, and desserts. Since I'm not great with spicy food, we went with dishes that were relatively mild this time: Stir-fry beef with Pancake Dry Pot Celtuce with Chinese Cured Pork Iron Pot Fish with Pickled Vegetables Cured Pork Fried Rice Brown Sugar Glutinous Rice Cakes The beef was really tender. We initially ate it with the pancakes, and later, when we still had quite a bit of beef left, we mixed it into the fried rice. Surprisingly, the combination worked really well! I also really enjoyed the dry pot celtuce with cured pork. The celtuce was crisp and refreshing, and its fresh crunch paired perfectly with the savory, salty cured pork. And of course, brown sugar glutinous rice cakes are a must-order for me whenever I have Sichuan cuisine. The chewy, sticky texture with that sweet brown sugar coating is always so satisfying - especially after a spicy meal!
