    Reasonable prices.
    Peter L.

    The suggested Thai Boat Noodles was good but could be an acquired taste. The rice noodle is Viet pho noodle and the broth has a slight fish aroma. Actually, this item was like combinining rare beef pho with pork meatballs and fermented beef stew. A vegetarian dining companion liked the Chili Eggplant Rice Plate and would get again. We both recommend the Fried Tofu appetizer. Deep fried just right outer texture and softness inside. It went well with the peanut dipping sauce (mix in some red chili for a kick). Will return to try other items. Prices are not low if you're on a student budget but also not high like at most Thai restaurants. It is quite busy for a Sunday night but the place closes at 9:45pm everyday, which might be later than many eateries in the area.

    Papaya Salad with marinated crab
    Jenny H.

    The papaya salad was your standard papaya salad. We got the marinated crab which was a little extra cost. The marinated crab is pretty fishy so don't get it if you aren't into that. I really liked the thai boat noodle. The broth was really good. Meat and noodle were okay but I loved the broth. The thai tea was your standard. I asked to have it less sweet and it was as I requested. If you need a to go box or bag, they charge like 10 or 20 cents. The staff will check on you every now and then so that's good. I'd come back if I'm near to try other things on their menu!

    Good. It didn't really do anything wrong. My pad Thai was quite agreeable. The service was prompt. The price fits the area. I am still hungry though so ima just give you four stars. Maybe I'm wrong but I feel like usually I'm not hungry after I have paid Thai for lunch.

    Another Thai restaurant that despite their name, serves more than noodles. Their food is well-portioned, but their menu might be too comprehensive. We ordered a few items from the chef's special and found that they were okay and lacked a little bit of flavor, but at least they were filling. The staff are friendly and the food is prepared in a timely manner.

    Food was great and the service was quick, efficient, and very friendly. The staff made the experience even better with their welcoming attitude. The place was clean and well-maintained, creating a comfortable environment to enjoy a meal. It's a perfect spot whether you're looking for a quick bite on the go or want to sit down and dine in. Overall, a solid choice for a casual and satisfying meal.

    The food here is great! The combination of flavors and textures is incredible. Everything is thoughtfully and carefully done, holding onto traditional Thai recipes and making impressive, beautiful plates of food every time. The service is very fast and very good. They bring the food out quickly, and keep your glass full, but they don't meddle or listen in. The ambiance is casual, fun and welcoming. I love to eat there with my friends and family because it's a great place to gather. It's not fancy; it just serves fantastic food. The prices are low, but the quality is wonderful!

    we seated 5 of us on a wednesday night around 9pm, they close at 10. food was fast and servers so nice. maybe around 10 tables total inside papaya salad 5/5 - nice and refreshing and limey Woon Sen pad thai with seafood 4/5 - two types of noodle which is unique. the seafood honestly pretty good fried chicken cutlet curry - 5/5 the curry wasn't dark as expected but it was more orange red but was delicious and the chicken had a wonderful crunch duck noodle soup 4/5 - standard duck noodle soup nothing that special; i feel like it needed some sort of zap like some sour or spice to it green syrup - melon drink that was sweet and refreshing

    Duck Fried Rice

    My partner and I were on our way to a nearby ramen restaurant when we discovered The Noodle. It's a hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurant with an open kitchen and maybe 8 or 9 tables. As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed and seated by a smiley, sweet woman. Each table comes with a set of sauces and toppings, which is helpful for people who want to add their own heat to their dish (not me!). We ordered a bowl of Tom Kha soup to share, an order of duck fried rice, and an order of pad Thai with shrimp and chicken. The soup was HUGE! I think I could wear the bowl as a hat. It was more than enough for 2 people, and it would've also been enough as 1 person's entree. We ended up taking a lot of it home for lunch the next day. The duck fried rice was soooo tasty. The duck was cooked perfectly and the rice had lots of flavor. The pad Thai came out steaming hot and was excellent. The flavors blended together nicely and the noodles were the perfect level of chewy. I'm genuinely so happy we tried this place, and I'm excited to go back soon!!

    Super good. Got the crab fried rice and the meat was so tender and the flavors is rich and melt in my mouth. The mason gui curry was so savory and a taste that mesmerized me fs

    3 Thai Boat Noodles in the left. A "pink soup"? Bottom right. Idk about the other two dishes.

    Was very very yummy. I got the Thai boat soup and it was very good, only problem was that the waitress miss heard my order and gave me the wrong thing("Fat rice noodles" instead of the Glass noodles I asked for) They fixed it with noo complain and I was fr munching. It was very good with their chili powder. Be careful with that chili powder tho cus it was spicyyy, I like spicy food tho. Would definitely go again. Was a tiny bit loud, which is why she miss heard me but that soup was so good. Their meat balls were not my not my thing because textual issues but my friend liked them so maybe they're good.

    Tiew Kak (peanut sauce noodle)

    I have been coming to this restaurant since I was in college at Berkeley when it had the sister restaurant, Thai Noodle 2 on Telegraph. It's always been a favorite of mine, and I've been coming back for years. Service is usually very quick, and the food is always delicious and served hot. I typically get the Massaman Gai Curry (not pictured) which is such a uniquely flavored curry with chicken that falls off the bone! Every dish I've gotten has been amazing, like the classic pad see ew or pad thai, but my favorite dishes to order are the BBQ chicken over fried rice (pairs so well with a curry), the peanut sauce noodles, and recently the mango crispy chicken. I can never help myself and always order too much, thinking I'll have leftovers. But then it's so good and I leave feeling stuffed from having over-eaten since I couldn't control myself! If you wear a noodle shirt, you get a free drink too :) I've gotten 5 free drinks so far! The mango sticky rice I got for free too after collecting enough stamps on my card. So worth it, it was the best sticky rice I think I have ever had.

    The waitress's attitude was really bad. It felt like I owed her money or something -- she even threw the menu at us. She only poured water for certain big tables and kept ignoring us, just because she wanted to flip tables faster and kick us out. I've spent a lot of time around Thai people before and always had good experiences, but this was honestly the first time in so many years that I met a Thai person with such a bad attitude. I really suggest the owner should replace that waitress in denim shorts. 第一次遇到態度那麼差的泰國人 欠她幾百萬一樣 垃圾跟Menu都用丟的 我是來消費吃飯不是來看你擺臉色的

    After a good day of hiking in Berkeley, I've decided to be a tourist around the area since I'm…read moreoriginally from Manteca, Ca. Walked around the University area and wanted something I haven't tried before. Finally I stumbled onto Noodle Dynasty. Never had fresh pulled noodles before and plus the atmosphere was welcoming. Restaurant was packed and servers were very attentive and friendly. The dining area is small but it had so much character, you kinda forget about it. I ordered through a tablet where I ordered and paid first. Refreshments were a plenty with my own pitcher of water! I ordered the house special noodles with bone ribs, spicy, and also the cucumber salad. Both were amazing!! The cucumber was worth the $7.99 since they use large portions of high quality cucumbers. The broth of the noodle soup was amazing also! Never, have I had Chinese inspired noodle soups like this before. It was rich and deep with flavor. The dried peppers and the nuts gave it a good texture and you can taste the freshness of the noodles. The bone on Ribs were so tender and they gave a generous amount. So perfect! All in all, I totally recommend this spot! I don't know any spot in the San Joaquin county that even comes close to this. Great job!

There were already 8 people in the line. Fortunately the staff start seating earlier and we got a table. By the time the restaurant officially opened at noon, the place was just about full already. We ordered and paid through the tablet, and we went with the beef rib noodle soup, beef brisket noodle soup, lamp rack noodle soup, and sesame peanut butter noodle. When the beef rib noodle soup came, I realized the hype is real. It was an impressive sight. The bowl was low brimmed and wide to accommodate the huge beef rib. The portion was large. Already I knew none of us would finish our noodles. The 24 hour broth was really rich and aromatic. The spicy broth was really spicy while the low spicy broth was milder. In retrospect I should have just select the low spicy option. The 3 noodle soups appeared to have the same type of broth. The meats were all tender, even the beef briskets. We were all happily slurping away at our noodle soups until we were so full we couldn't go further and ask for to-go container. I was kind of glad my daughter ordered the only non soup-noodle dish in our party. The sesame peanut butter noodle was actually quite tasty. You just need to be sure mix the ingredients well. When we left the restaurant there was a long line outside the restaurant. We are so glad we came early!

Growing up in Wisconsin in a small city at the tip of Lake Superior Chinese restaurants were just about the only ethnic food available throughout the country. Exotic as they may seem to have been and widespread Nationally which is partly due to the Chinese building the railroads cross country. Chicago Cafe (Woodland, CA): Founded in 1903, academic research suggests this spot near Sacramento is the oldest continuously operating Chinese restaurant in the U.S. and California. These days I prefer Vietnamese or Thai all day long because the flavors are better and more variety and cleaner with respect to how the dishes are prepared. Well, I stumbled into this spot today and I was rather blown away. Large portions, low prices, excellent variety and top notch service. And a huge portion for only $13.95. I had the vegetable rice, complementary hot sauce and a nice iced cold five dollar Heineken. OK, this is a spot to put on your list. See you there!!! And now here are some interesting factoids: While thousands of Chinese immigrants first came to the U.S. to build the transcontinental railroad in the 1800s, it was the subsequent decades of legal discrimination that forced a marginalized community to turn the restaurant industry into their primary means of survival and citizenship. The "Lo Mein Loophole": In the early 20th century, U.S. courts recognized restaurant ownership as a pathway to obtain merchant visas. This loophole sparked a massive boom in the creation of Chinese restaurants, particularly luxury "chop suey palaces".

We popped in on a Sunday, right before 11, but unfortunately they were late to open the doors by about 5 minutes. Once they did open the doors, we found the tempura options weren't ready so we had to stand to the side and wait a little longer for them to get those out. They had several posters and signs up advertising the new Tomatama curry, which I really wanted but when I ordered, the employee informed me they don't offer that sauce anymore. I let her know all the signs outside say they do.. she said they didn't realize that and they have to be replaced. She was really nice, but that was a bummer. She said I could sample the sauces they do have though, so that was the consolation prize. It did help me choose between their normal curry or the new Bolognese. After you choose the udon option you want, they make your bowl and give it to you on a lunch tray, along with a paper container to put your tempura options. I went with the Big Chicken ($5) and sweet potato ($2 something). You can top your bowl with as much tempura flakes and green onions you like, which is nice because I love me some green onions. At the end, the cashier will ring you up and then you find your seat. The dining area is nice. It's well lit, aesthetic but we haaaaate the chairs with a passion. There is no back support unless you sit in a booth. I really like that all the utensils, napkins, to go items, tempura sauce, etc are all available to grab as needed. I also like that they have chili powder! A must for us spicy eaters. The tempura sauce is rich, and flavorful. A little sweet, but it balances the tempura well. They also have katsu and gyoza sauce in packets. Pro tip - use the larger cups instead of the plastic sauce cups to dispense the tempura sauce, so that it's easier to dip! Wow this was long winded, but onto the food. The regular size bowl will have you full but you can opt for a Large for a couple bucks more. My bolognese was sooooo creamy and savory, and made even better by adding the chili powder and a couple spoons of the tempura sauce. Don't ask me why, it just works. I don't know if it's just a seasonal item, but hopefully not, as the sauce works. I like that i clung to the noodles well too but def get yourself a spoon to help ladle the meat alongside each bite of noodles. The big chicken isn't that big lol But it's basically 1 chicken thigh. I appreciate the dark meat, as it keeps the meat juicy. The sweet potato had the perfect batter on it, but tbh I probably could have gone without another starch. I had a sip of the Creamy broth and the Nikutama my sisters had. Creamy broth was savory and creamy, but it didn't have a bold enough flavor for me. The nikutama is sweet af.. way too sweet for me. But i liked how tender the beef was. There's street parking, free on Sundays. I wouldn't wait in line to eat here, but for a quick, comforting meal, this will hit the spot without breaking the bank.
