Teo Chow Noodle Shack - Ultimate Bowl - Chinese Near Me - Fremont, California

This place has been on my list for a while, and I'm glad I finally made it in. The portions hit the spot, and the wontons were my favorite thing I tried here. The broth was pretty underwhelming and felt like it needed a lot more seasoning and depth, but thankfully they had a side table with sauces to enhance the flavors. A couple small things stood out to me during the visit. The plastic chairs weren't the most comfortable, and they also use a kiosk for ordering, which can slow things down a bit when it's busy and people are still looking through the menu. Nothing that would stop me from coming back though. The food came out quickly, I left full, and I'm happy I finally gave this place a try. read more

I got the chef special which comes with roasted duck, choice of noodles and 6 wontons. The broth was alright; kind of just tasted like MSG duck water. The wontons were super delicious! Plump, tener, and peppery. The roasted duck was super fatty and flavorful but nothing crazy. You can either order on the kiosks or up front at the counter. The food was pretty good but kind of pricy for what you get. It's definitely a comfort food typa spot. I want to come back for their non-noodle dishes. Place itself is super casual. read more

Teo Chow Noodle Shack - Chef Special ($17.99) - Chinese Near Me - Fremont, California

Comfort Chinese food in a casual interior space. Parking is easy since it's in a shared plaza. When you first walk in, there are two kiosks that you can place your order at. You can then enter the table number you'll sit at or your name so the staff can deliver your food once it's ready. You can request drinks and utensils from the counter or staff may bring it to you. Water and sauce condiments are self serve. My bf and I ordered the chefs special (noodle soup with wontons and roasted duck) and the house special chow fun. Both were good in taste and portion size. The food hit the spot on a cold day. read more

Saw this on a reel on IG and it looked really good so I had to try it out. I ended up getting the ultimate bowl with everything in it and it came out really quick. What stood out the most were the broth, roast duck, and wontons. It was a bit too much with everything and I'd like to try it with just duck/wontons sometime! read more

Teo Chow Noodle Shack - Ultimate Bowl - Chinese Near Me - Fremont, California

Since this place is in an industrial area, you definitely want to beat the lunch rush around noon. We went right before the 12 o'clock rush, and orders quickly started piling up, with the line stretching to the door. It's hard to find a place to sit once the lunch rush hits. The broth came piping hot (which I prefer so the entire meal can be enjoyed hot). It reminded me of the broth at TK/Tung Kee/King Noodle- very light and comforting. There was a good portion of noodles and toppings. They also have a sauce bar on the side with jalapeños and different kinds of sauces. I'd definitely go back to try their Chinese lunch plate dishes! read more

I had high hopes for the noodle soups here, but I found the flavors pretty bland even with chili oil and other additions. I'm not sure I'd come back for it.

Teo Chow Noodle Shack - Ho Fun and Thin Egg Noodles with Everything ($15.99) - Chinese Near Me - Fremont, California

I arrived on a weekday, just before the lunch rush. If you're not on a time crunch, I recommend coming here; it was a great experience for me. It is an open kitchen, and I could see that the staff was working hard to feed the lunch rush. You can order over the counter or from the two iPads. The restaurant provides a sauce bar and drink station where you can serve yourself. I ordered the Ultimate Bowl and the Chef's Special Bowl. The Ultimate Bowl had wontons, wide noodles, fish cake, fish ball, char siu, lean pork, liver (I think), shrimp, and duck meat. I found it to be very flavorful. This was a very hearty meal. The Chef's Special had wontons, wide noodles, and duck meat. The Chef's Special is just the right amount of food for me. I liked both meals. read more

Just an okay noodle place. Ordered the ultimate bowl, roughly $21, not including tax and tip. Bowl came out looking very regular, not sure if it lives up to its "ultimate" name, other than the fact that it includes all of their main protein toppings. Base broth wasn't savory, aromatic or flavorful. Wontons and roasted duck were probably the saving grace. In terms of service, Teo Chow was lacking dine-in customer service--it's very much a self-service spot: order your food at the tablets, get your own utensils at the front desk, iced water and sauces at the sauce table near the restroom (and half the sauces are uncovered). Not a very memorable experience and barely an okay place at best. read more

I got the spareribs here and they were really good! It was recommended by my coworker and did not disappoint--the saltiness was chef's kiss. I had to wait a bit, but the staff was super nice and kept us informed about the wait time. The place was clean, though it felt more like a takeout spot than a dine-in one. Still, I really loved the dish and will definitely be back to order again! read more

This place isn't a traditional Teochew noodle. This place feels more like a Teochew fusion restaurant. The broth lacked seasoning and was fairly bland. The wontons had a nice smooth texture, but the sesame oil flavor was overpowering. As for the egg rolls, there was very little meat filling, making them disappointing and lacking flavor. read more

Service was good. Place is clean and spacious. Food was not good at all. I ordered the chef special and the portion was pathetic for the price. The roast duck was all bones and the wonton was actually dumplings. read more

Good quick Asian comfort foods. Can't go wrong with the wonton noodle soups. Salt pepper dishes and the chili basil fish are all great as well. Been many times and still come back when I want a good simple noodle soup other than ramen or pho. Service can take a while as it's a small kitchen you can see. Small dining area as well but smaller operations so sometimes might take a while to clear table as also doing cashier and handling orders. Can order at register or faster to pick and customize at the 2 kiosk available read more

We stopped by Teo Chow Noodles for dinner since it's conveniently on our way home. Both of us ordered noodles, and I went with the Ultimate Bowl after seeing other Yelpers recommend it. The portion size is generous, and the broth immediately reminded me of the one at Luu's Tung Kee in Milpitas -- light, savory, and comforting. It took about 15 minutes for our noodles to arrive, which isn't bad for a sit-down spot. Overall, the flavors were decent, but nothing that really stood out compared to other noodle houses. Service was quick and straightforward. Our order came out in a reasonable time frame. Comparison: While Teo Chow is fine for a casual stop, I personally still prefer Luu's Noodles in Milpitas and the San Jose branch for a richer broth and its simplicity. read more

Teo Chow Noodle Shack - 1 order of soup - Chinese Near Me - Fremont, California

This review is for the noodle soup only. This spot was almost always my "go to" when I felt in the mood for noodle soup. Recently visited and perhaps I went on an "off day" or I arrived too early after the place opened? Not sure, but the broth was salty and kind of lackluster, when it previously had good flavor on previous visits. The most notable difference was the portions of the noodles AND the toppings ( I always choose the custom "choose 4" options). Prices have increased but portion sizes have noticeably decreased. It made for an overall unsatisfying dining experience. I also noticed that I was not greeted or acknowledged when placing the order at their kiosks, but others arriving after me were. Again, maybe due to me arriving about 30 minutes after they opened versus later but I just noticed it. I'm getting very picky about value for money when eating out these days. If the quality of the food and service does not stay consistent as prices all round at eating establishments keep going up, then I will have to take pause in giving repeat business to places that don't maintain the consistency. This spot included. read more

We haven't been here for quite some time and I believe it was definitely before the pandemic since. We always thought it was a place that offered solid food with great value. However, our recent visit was not how we remembered it. Prices have definitely gone up but the problem is the quality and value is not on par. They are definitely skimping on the amount of protein in their dishes instead add more of the cheaper ingredients as filler to make it appear substantial. The Mongolian beef for instance had very little meat and as you can see way too much bell peppers and onions to make up which is disappointing. Do they really think people won't notice or care? We do and will hesitate to come back. read more

Teo Chow Noodle Shack - Mongolian "where's the beef" plate aftermath. - Chinese Near Me - Fremont, California

Teo Chow Noodle Shack is a solid local Chinese joint. The ultimate bowl which consists of bbq pork, wontons, fish cake, duck, shrimp, and ground pork is so good. I like to get the 2 different types of noodles. The broth itself is already flavorful, but I love how they have a bunch of different condiments on the side that you can also grab and enhance your food with such as: soy sauce, fish sauce, chilis, chili oil, vinegar, etc. Apparently they can run out of duck during peak hours, so it might be best to call them ahead of time and confirm -- I didn't have any issues the few times I've been though. The first time I came here with my sister, the staff even offered us more broth if we needed it. It seems like not a lot of people dine in here, and most do takeout. I'll definitely be back to try their other dishes. read more

The ultimate and the chicken basil with rice were some of the best dishes that I have ever had in my life!

This place is so worth every dollar that you are spending, it is just so good! read more

Absolutely LOVE -- Teo Chow Noodle Shack! I frequently dine here a few times a month. Have tried at least half of the items on their menu, love them. Flavorful and delicious! The drinks are very good, too! The staff is very kind and provides excellent service. I love their calm demeanor even during the rush hour. I would highly recommend this to ALL -- as they provide wonderful service and foods that comforts the soul -- fulfilling and reminds me of wonderfully home cooked meals! read more

Back here for the second time and the food did not disappoint. Had the exact same experience from my first time. I ordered the ultimate bowl but this time I decided to try the salt and pepper spare rib from a recommendation. The ultimate bowl was great as my first experience however those salt and pepper spare rib was a hitter. Crispy, flavorful and not overly oily. This has got to be another one of my favorite dishes there. Can't wait to try their other dishes. read more

If you're craving real Chinese comfort food, this is the place to be. read more

This is a little small hole in the wall spot. Serves up a ton of dishes, noodle and rice. I did the combination noodle that basically had everything in it. I would say overall it was very good. Definitely not the best I've had. Some of the toppings did not taste super fresh. The cost was pretty high about $20 for a bowl and then the tea we had was six dollars. Service was fine. They are very busy during lunch hour. Just be aware of that. You will have to wait. read more

A local Chinese spot, that I wish we discovered sooner! Known for their bbq pork belly, omg sooo good! The service is order at counter quick! And the place gets crowded real fast!

Authentic chow fun, lots of sauces and peppers for condiments, definitely a bang for your buck! Can't wait to go back again soon! read more

My coworker bought us lunch from here and it was really good so I decided to try it again on my own. I ordered the salt and pepper fish with chow mien and it was delicious. The fish was fried to perfection and heated up well in the air fryer the next day. The chow mein was super flavorful, and the portion was generous and shareable. I placed the order online and received a text when I went into pick up. It was ready and hot. Please please please know your spice level tolerance, the spice on this bad boy is no joke! read more

I came hungry and left happy! I've been here twice, but the last time was years ago. I got the TC chow fun and I was a fan. Best eaten right away, otherwise the noodle texture might get mushy because of the gravy. I got the soup with everything and ho fun noodles. Mmmmmm.... It hit the spot. I was hoping it would be comparable to VH in Oakland. Teo Chow's soup is the closest to VH that I've come across. You can order on their kiosk or at the counter. There is a physical menu at the counter too. Helpful for the non-tech savvy (like my parents lol). If you see something you want on the kiosk that shows sold out, still check with the staff. They may actually have dishes, but if the inventory is low they may remove it from online ordering. They get busy at lunch time, especially with pick up orders. It wasn't busy when I came for dinner (Monday around 6:30pm). The dining room was big and had a lot of spaced out tables. There's a cart with self serve water and sauces. The staff was cool. read more

The outside of the restaurant is unassuming, but don't overlook it. Self-service kiosks are available for ordering, and if you choose to dine in, the food will be brought to your table. Food comes out fairly quickly, and the staff is super friendly. I ordered one of the Chef Specials, which was a bowl of egg noodles, shrimp and chive wontons, and some really meaty pieces of roasted duck. The food is decent, flavored well, and the broth is light. I wish there were some form of vegetables (like some bok choy) present in the bowl I had, which would balance out the carbs and protein. Overall a pleasant experience, and good for a quick lunch on a busy work day! read more

It's been quite a journey. I'm now 10 years older and work not too far from Teo Chow. So now I'm a regular and here frequently. It's funny how time flies and how life takes you to unexpected places. The place hasn't changed much. Their ultimate bowl is still huge and just as satisfying as it was years ago. The price has gone up a bit, but it's still a great value. I keep coming back and I'll probably write another review in a few years. I appreciate the workers here and the owner. Please dont change, may of us are long time regulars. read more

Although their name indicates noodles, their menu includes all the typical Chinese dishes. The food is good and satisfying, but nothing that really blows you away. Next time I'll have to try their noodles and see what the hype is about. Today, we ordered a few of our favorites... + Walnut shrimp - good, not overly sauced, and still a little crispiness outside. Shrimps were just a little overcooked, and not as plump and juicy as I would like. + Veggie egg rolls - good, typical + Mongolian beef - seasoned well with a bit of heat + Roasted duck chow mein - this was our favorite of the ones we tried. There's a few pieces of shredded duck and duck skin. Although there wasn't a lot of duck, the duck flavor was present throughout the entire dish Overall, enjoyable meal and satisfied the Chinese food craving. read more

No frills, just a bowl of good, old fashioned noodle. The ordering was a bit confusing for us but we were in a hurry and it's very likely I just wasn't paying attention when ordering at the kiosk.
