Xiang Xiang Noodle - Chinese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I was craving hand pulled/knife cut/chewy noodles and found Xiang Xiang Noodle after Googling a spot near me. I found Xiang Xiang Noodles and am so happy we went! My husband and I ordered the smashed cucumber appetizer, the shredded pork noodles with knife cut noodles, and the Szechuan dan dan noodles. We originally were going to get the seafood fried noodles, but the owner(?) uncle suggested the shredded pork noodles. I thought the exchange was really funny and cute since he spoke in limited English but conveyed to us that this was the "best". The food came out quickly- the shredded pork noodles were suggested to be eaten with the black vinegar on the table (this was in a bottle without any English labeling, but pretty obvious) and it definitely added a layer of flavor complexity to the dish. However, my husband and I both agreed that the Szechuan dan dan noodles was the better of the two. It had the mala flavor without being overly spicy, so we enjoyed it a lot. The cucumber appetizer was a cool, crisp, and refreshing contrast to our noodles. Seating is similar to that of a pho restaurant and it's very no frills- this is also located in a plaza with ample parking and no other East Asian food establishments (from what I saw). There wasn't any a/c in the restaurant but this was okay with us since it wasn't a super hot day, but I can see it getting pretty hot indoors. Overall, super tasty, got my fix of knife cut noodles and flavor, and I'm excited to try other dishes there! read more

What a wonderful restaurant :). The owners are extremely warm with traditional Chinese hospitality, always excited to take your order and vocal and appreciative of your patronage. When the hours are slower, they often make small chit chat as well and enjoy engaging with customers. I feel like the owners are very passionate about cooking good food and find great joy in knowing that their customers enjoy the food. I've been here about 3-4 times, and have ordered the beef noodle soup, and stir fried pork noodles, all scissor cut. Everything has always tasted great and flavorful. read more

We came on a Sunday afternoon and got seated right away. This place is run by a sweet lady and who I can only presume is the chef in the back. We tried the beef rolls, celery and tofu skin, ground pork and eggplant noodles and lamb with quail egg noodle soup. All in all, everything was pretty good. The beef rolls are wrapped in something similar to mushu wraps instead of green onion pancakes like normal, and the celery and tofu skin was pretty good but a bit on the salty side. The noodles were very good, al dente and had a great chew. The eggplant and pork sauce was good, but I did wish there was something to lighten it up like some greens or cilantro. My partner loved the lamb and quail egg soup, and the broth tasted very clean. Would return to try out their other dishes! read more

Food: 0/5. Spinach wasn't blanched in water before stir frying so ick tongue and mouth all tingly feeling. Noodle was not chewy and just icky soggy. Ambiance: nice wooden chairs. Waiter and chef friendly. 1 star for the friendly service I guess. read more

Many other reviews mention the eggplant, and for good reason! It's delicious. Basically like french fries, but healthier. Not too oily or greasy and perfect crispiness. I tried a bit of the E5 (fried oil noodle with pork) and the noodle was very nice and bouncy. The dandan mian was flavorful and delicious, but didn't have any meat or veggies in it. My spice tolerance level is "lao gan ma." I asked for it to be less spicy and it was just a littttle over my limit. The tables all come with wipes and hand sanitizer, so that was very nice of them. The four-person tables are a little too narrow for comfort. The owner is very enthusiastic and stands behind his product, but I can see how it would be overbearing for some people. He did a chair handstand for a table he was entertaining, so props to him! The waiter serving the dishes was super nice and responsive and working very hard to keep up with all the tables. read more

Super friendly owners with high energy. The food overall was delicious. Our group especially likes the salt and pepper fried egg plant. It taste almost like fries and remains hot and crunchy.

I have high expectations of the place because I really like knife cut noodles and the place looks legit. The owner even have the look of a knife cut noodle master (it's a Chinese urban legend that knife cut masters shave their heads). I believe that he was an ex-athlete. The wife or the waitress looked really familiar (I'm fairly certain I've seen her in another restaurant before). The service is friendly and pretty good. The place itself is in a strip mall that I knew about only because I used to live close by and there is a Mongolian BBQ place when I feel like having that. Anyways the place itself is decorated just like any other Chinese restaurant and it's not too small. The location is surprisingly popular among non Chinese so my view is strictly Chinese as someone who loves knife cut noodles and often goes to Shanxi for the authentic version. The biggest problem is the same with many other places in that the dough is not mixed (with force) enough times so the noodle feels soggy even if fresh. I know that it takes extra time and effort but that's literally the point of knife cut noodle. Pulled noodles can be pulled extra times but for knife cut noodles the dough needs to be mixed extra firm in order to be chewy in a noodle soup. I do like everything else including the hospitality and the service but I'm just disappointed with the noodle itself. Btw you can order extra noodle and they give you a lot. read more

My family had a nice dinner here while we were in the area for the world cup. I'm vegan and I ordered the mapo tofu noodles, and when I ordered I confirmed with the owner that this had no meat. However when they brought me my noodles there was ground meat in it, and when I asked the owner about it he immediately took it back and brought me a new one. He said this had never happened before, and I'm not exactly sure how it got mixed up, but the mapo tofu noodles are actually supposed to not have meat by default so it was a weird mistake. Once I got the correct dish, it was extremely delicious, I really loved the unique texture of the knife cut noodles, and the mapo tofu was very very flavorful. The rest of my family also enjoyed their noodles, I believe they all got meat soup dishes with knife cut noodles. Near the end of our meal the owner brought us free bananas for dessert, and when he saw that nobody was eating them, he then brought us plums, which we all ate, and put the bananas in a bag for us to take home. The owner was so nice the whole time and very sociable. He also did a calisthenics trick for us which was quite impressive given he said he was 69. We were offered a 10% discount if we paid cash, which we took. Overall both a delicious and entertaining dinner, and I'm happy to forgive the initial mishap with my order. read more

Xiang Xiang Noodle has been on my husband's to go list and on this lovely Friday lunch time we decided to indulge in an authentic Chinese restaurant. The place is very chill and casual. Simply decorated with Chinese artifacts. Very clean and tidy as well. People say a gymnast (aka the owner) might do a headstand for the diners but during our visit, he didn't show off probably because it was busy. They are located in the Tasman Square shopping complex in Sunnyvale, CA - corner of Lawrence expressway and Tasman Drive super close to the border of Santa Clara. Parking is not a problem at all. Open daily from 11 am - 10pm. When we got to the restaurant, there were only us and another table of a group of 3 and as soon as 12:30pm hit, the restaurant was packed. For this visit, we ordered the following: B9 - Salt and Pepper eggplant (my favorite and definitely a must order, their popular dish on the menu) L2 - Sichuan Style spicy soft wontons F1 - Egg Fried Rice A13 - Pork Spareribs with House Special Sauce Jasmine hot tea was complimentary Portions were generous, we had to take home the eggplant and fried rice and spicy soft wontons. The Dandan noodles were also highly recommended and will definitely try it on our next visit but one thing I'm not going to miss ordering - the salt and pepper eggplant!!! The staff were friendly and accommodating. They gave us 10% discount for paying cash. Super highly recommended when in the South Bay. May 2026 read more

Mom and pop shop. Came here after work one day near closing after beaten down from work, feeling down. And was greeted with big smiles when given the menu. The food, dan dan noodle and the spicy wontons were really good. But my favorite was the owners attitude. They were EXCITED to give me what I ordered. And hyped up their food. And were excited to ask me how their food taste. And in Chinese told me about their life philosophy about having a good attitude. Which turned out to be infectious. I feel much happier than an hour ago it's crazy. read more

IMHO Came upon Xiang Xiang when our original pho restaurant choice was closed for the evening. Happily, Xiang Xiang was opened until 10 p.m.!!! We walked into an empty restaurant and was happily greeted by the proprietress who let us choose our table. They are known for their handmade noodles. Our party of three chose to share the Combination Chow Mein, $17.95, the Traditional Beef Tendon Noodle Soup, $15.95, and a plate of steamed dumplings. While we waited for our food, the restaurant started to fill up with other late diners. Good sign for me! The food was hot and tasty and we had enough for leftovers. I'd be happy to dine here again. read more

My partner and I visited on a Sunday around 11 a.m., and there were plenty of open seats. The restaurant has a casual, homey feel, so I wasn't expecting anything too fancy, but the food completely exceeded my expectations. I ordered the knife-cut noodles with minced pork and eggplant sauce, and they were fantastic. The noodles were the perfect thickness (not too wide and not too thin) with a nice chewy texture. What really blew me away was the sauce. It was rich, savory, and packed with umami, with a perfectly balanced flavor that coated every bite of noodles. My partner ordered a spicy noodle soup with thin noodles (I can't remember the exact name, but I'll include a photo). I tried a few bites, and it was just as flavorful, with a rich broth that had a slight kick. I believe the person who helped us was the owner and head chef. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and you could tell he genuinely takes pride in the food he serves. The interior isn't fancy, but it doesn't need to be. It's clean, comfortable, and has just the right amount of seating for the size of the restaurant. Also, they offer a 10% discount if you pay with cash! Overall, this is a hidden gem for handmade noodles. The food is full of flavor, the service is warm and welcoming. I can't recommend this spot enough. read more

Small hole in the wall restaurant with handmade noodles. Not too wide in interior - probably not ideal for large parties of 10+. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive. They also give 10% discount if you pay in cash, which essentially pays for tax! Salt & pepper eggplant: a dish I haven't seen in other restaurants. It was delicious and almost tasted like French fries. The outside was light and crispy, and the inside was soft and lightly gooey like eggplants are. Highly recommend! Traditional beef noodle soup: broth was yummy and not too salty. Meat was slightly tough. The knife cut noodles were thick but not as chewy as I have tried from other handmade noodle restaurants - slightly dough-y Dan Dan noodles: not overly spicy, good flavor, but also slightly dough-y and not very chewy noodle consistency. Despite the noodle consistency, flavors were there and the exceptional service shone. read more

We've been ignoring this small restaurant which was next to a donut shop we frequented. This Friday, was a good excuse to try them out as we also wanted efficiency with our chores and trips. The vibe was definitely casual and homey. We picked our table as there were plenty left before the lunch rush. This Sunnyvale location is popular for a quick bite as well as takeout. That fact we found out while nonchalantly savoring our meal. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel like regulars right away. The complimentary jasmine tea in a pot and waters were served right away as soon as we were done with our orders. DON'T dismiss this "uncle and auntie" operation as another Chinese restaurant. The Sichuan style of cooking we found out was an eclectic assortment of flavors from various seasonings ranging from spicy to sweet. The wonton noodles were clearly homemade, with that perfect al dente texture and bold flavors. The Salt and Pepper Eggplant was a "can't miss standout". Crispy outside and chewy inside. This is ranked up there with other eggplant dishes we've had. The flavorful Egg Fried Rice and Pork Spare Ribs became second string plates due to the impact of the first two dishes. We're definitely coming back for the highly recommended Dan Dan Noodles. The portions are generous and the prices are more than fair. A 10% discount is deducted with cash payments. If you're anywhere near Sunnyvale and craving Sichuan style cooking, this spot is a must. read more

If you're coming to Xiang Xiang Noodles you HAVE TO order the Dan Dan Mian and the Salt & Pepper Fried Eggplant, these are non- negotiable. Otherwise don't bother coming if you do not order these two items. Everyone at your table might as well order a bowl of Dan Dan noodles each. They also do not play around with their chili oil and spice. So we warned if you can't take anything more then Lao gan ma you're warned if you order spicy. I crave the Dan Dan noodles and fried eggplant I cannot wait to come eat here again! read more

Me and my cousins came on a Saturday afternoon some time after lunch and the place was pretty empty save for the staff. We were told they get busier during dinner but if it is "dead quiet" during the afternoon, the chef will go take a nap lol. Location is in a plaza and there is adequate amount of parking. I'd say service is quick probably 'cuz we were the only customers there at the time lol. But we came for the famous "dan dan noodles", which was one of our favorites. Sauce was evenly distributed and spiced to our comfort level. Fresh green scallions topped it off. Everything came out hot and fresh -- great presentation in classic china bowls. We cleaned through the salt & pepper eggplant-- loved the salty crunchy toppings(fried flour?). Eggplant was hot & crispy! We also ordered the wonton in chili oil - spicy level cannot be adjusted LOL. Your usual standard. Then between the noodle with eggplant sauce and the Xiang Xiang noodle, I think the eggplant sauce one was better. The sauce just seemed richer. The Xiang one has more toppings (shredded carrot , bean sprout, cucumber and mushroom) but I didn't like the flavor much. I ordered the seafood fried rice for takeout --it was fine. No complaints there. Nothing bad and nothing impressive. Their menus have TONS of options to choose from. Can't go wrong with the top favorites though. read more

There is a family speaking Chinese Mandarin and making good authentic food! They make the noodles in house, and they will speak to you about what you want and accommodate. It feels like eating in Taiwan or a small place in China. 12 tables for 4, 1 circle table for 8, a few extra 2 people table, so can hold about 60. Parking lot can hold about 24 cars, so enough. Drinks are room temp water or sodas from a fridge. Mo alcohol. Decor is simple. Good natured loud chinese yelling back and forth with kitchen. Good Discount if you come in and pay cash. You will wait at least 15 minutes if there is no one infront of you. Prices are good for the area, and supporting a family establishment is good for the soul, coming back when in the area. read more

I really hope my experience was a mistake, but it wasn't very enjoyable. While the lady at the front acts nice, she's very passive aggressive and in the aggressive way that makes me feel like she doesn't respond well to pressure. But that wasn't really the problem. The noodles, both that we ordered, came out lukewarm. Noodle soup and a dry noodle dish both coming out lukewarm does make you think. And while the flavors are good, I don't want my noodles coming out lukewarm.... Especially when the dumplings came out piping hot. Otherwise, the place was fine. Private parking. I wouldn't visit again. read more

I came to Xiang Xiang noodle with my friends, and we had an overall good time. The space is big with lots of tables. It seems like a mom and pop shop, where one takes orders and talks to customers, where the other cooks in the back. The lady was super nice and conversed with us throughout our meal! She mostly speaks Mandarin, but luckily one of our friends was able to translate. Our food came out quickly, and it was a generous amount. However, I do not think it was to my flavor. The salt pepper eggplant is what they are known for, and it was solid. Though, not entirely mindblowing. My egg and tomato dish could be a bit more flavorful.
