Xiang Xiang Noodle - Chinese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Some of the best noodle soups I've had in the bay, and incredibly friendly staff. Hidden gem! We come by at least once a month.

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 - mapo tofu noodles - Chinese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

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

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

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

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

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

Had this placed booked marked for a while. Went in to try it for lunch. Friendly welcome at the door. The lady waitress was super sweet and helpful. Food came out quick. We picked a table and ordered: Traditional beef sirloin noodle soup (thin noodle) $16: 4/5 beef was tender and amazing taste! Broth was really good too. Noodles were still thick like chow mein. Lamb quail egg knife shaved noodle soup $19: 4/5 hubby enjoyed his soup. He would have picked a different type of noodle as well. Pig ear $10: 4/5 sauce was different but tasty. 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. The service was amazing regardless, and I am glad we got to try! read more

First time here and definitely not our last. As soon as we saw the decor and greeted by "Uncle", we knew this was going to be an authentic experience. He recommended the B9. Salt Pepper Eggplant and we can see why. This was honestly the best eggplant we've ever had. Perfectly balanced in texture and seasoning. The outside was crispy, and the inside was soft and gooey. Definitely worth coming back for just this dish. 10/10 We also ordered: D12. Sichuan Noodles - This dish was very flavorful. A bowl of chewy noodles with spicy and aromatic Mala flavor. 8.1/10 D7. Noodle with Minced Pork and Eggplant Sauce - A big bowl of rustic cut thick noodles in a light flavored meat gravy type of sauce. This is light in flavor, and has thick chewy noodles. Option: add a splash of dark vinegar for a slight tang. Recommend this if you are in the mood for comfort food. 7.4/10 A1. Shredded Potato with Hot Oil Sauce - A side dish of shredded potato and carrots. This is a nostalgic dish for me, so I'll admit I am a bit biased. The texture is like a par cooked shredded potato with a vinegar tang. Simple dish, but delicious. Recommend this as a side dish if you order very bold flavored dishes. 8.5/10 read more

Enjoyed the food here ! They have a very authentic menu and I loved the consistency of the knife cut noodles. Traditional beef soup - strong broth flavor. Tender beef. Only wish there was more protein. Amazing knife cut noodles. Vegetarian fried noodle - knife cut noodles with soy sauce and veggies. Very flavorful and savory. Spicy wonton - asked for mild because it looked very spicy. It did have some heat to it still. Would come again and try more of their menu. So many authentic items that I wouldn't be able to find anywhere else. read more

We wanted to grab dinner with some friends and everything was closing within the hour except this location. Our experience started off fairly friendly and we were greeted right away by what I assume was the owner. We had high hopes for this restaurant and ordered 3 soup dishes, 1 dry dish, and 1 appetizer. When we were ordering, he was really trying to advertise other dishes especially the salt and pepper eggplant dish. We were fairly firm and didn't want to add too much to our order. When our orders started coming out, he bought out the eggplant dish that we did not order and insisted that if we did not like it that he would not charge us for it. This completely threw us off because we really did not want the extra dish. After dropping off the dishes, he completely avoided our table except to fill our water in the very end. The food itself was okay. The broth was fairly flavorful. I also liked how the seafood dry noodle had a good amount of shrimp and scallop. The biggest problem were the noodles in every dish which very doughy and starchy. At the end of the meal, we asked for the check. He told us that if we paid by cash there would be a discount. We waited for a really long time and realized that he was not coming back to give us our change which puts us at such a difficult position. In the end of the day, it was not a huge amount but it's about the principle. This whole experience was really strange to us especially since there are so many good reviews. It's a decent spot if you were in the area but I will definitely not go out of my way to come back. read more

I stopped by on a Sunday for lunch. The place was not busy. Chicken chowmein was my favorite item. Beef with quail egg and round noodles was good, but was bland from kitchen. I had to add hot sauce to make it spicy. Shredded bean curd was a simple appetizer, but good. The owner guy also did a handstand on the chair. He is very strong guy, plus friendly. read more

Super homestyle cooking and very welcoming hosts. I went with a group of three around 2:30 pm, so the restaurant was fairly empty (lunch rush had passed). One of the hosts welcomed us in and pretty quickly provided menus, water/tea, etc. The food was also very quick to arrive on the table - we ordered the Spicy seafood, the wonton (with noodles) and the braised pork noodle. They were all soup noodles, and it perfectly hit the spot. All the noodles are freshly made, and the broth was all very rich. My soup could have been spicier, but I'm not complaining because the flavor was super on point. Also fairly affordable given the MASSIVE portion sizes. I'll want to try their Dan Dan/other stir fried/dry noodles next time I come! read more

Located in a small plaza next to Taco Bell, this the best restaurant I have ever been to for fried eggplants. Yes you heard that right. Their fried eggplants converted my eggplant hater friends into ordering them every time they visit. Freshly fried and salted and perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Their tan tan mian is also a must order, the lady will recommend them to everyone and they don't disappoint. read more

Went here with my boyfriend because we were craving soup in a rainy day, and the pictures looked so good! There were three groups seated when we arrived around 6:30pm and plenty of tables to choose from. We seated ourselves at a spot near the door. The tables already had menus and settings on them so getting settled in was a breeze! The owner(?) came by to take our orders soon after. We ordered the traditional beef tendon noodle soup, noodle with minced pork and eggplant sauce, and the salt pepper eggplant appetizer (as suggested). The food came out quickly, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! The broth was light but flavorful and the beef tendon was savory and filling (the perfect pick me up after a long day). I also highlyyyy recommend the salt pepper eggplant! The fried part is so thin and crispy, and the salt and pepper was perfectly balanced. Overall, the food was so tasty and satisfying. The owner also brought out some corn and an orange for us which was a nice addition! He also offered to close the door for us a couple times since it was cold out, which was very considerate. We enjoyed this place a lot and recommend it for the good service, yummy food, and laidback atmosphere :) read more

The hospitality was amazing, the food was amazing, what more can you ask for! When we walked in, there were a lot of empty tables, but as we sat for awhile longer, the lunch rush started trickling in and soon practically all the tables were filled! I can definitely see why when we started eating! Our waitress was extremely nice! Gave us a bunch of recommendations on what's good and what's popular, what's spicy and what's not spicy. I ended up getting the dan dan noodles and the minced pork sauce noodles and my gosh they were heavenly. I keep thinking about the noodles and how chewy they were and how they had such a great mouth feel. Freshly in house made, they were utterly delicious. The sauce was amazing, the pork accompanied it super well. The dan dan noodles had a good kick to it and was bursting with a crazy amount of flavor that I for sure can't replicate at home. All in all, super sold spot. Their menu is extensive too I can't wait to come back to try everything else. read more

G5 Lamb with quail eggs shaved noodle The knife shaved homemade noodles is the feature here - I thought it was great, not too doughy and obviously fresh. D13 noodle with Mapo tofu A fan favorite and reminiscent of home style cooking by grandma. There's quite a bit of those analgesic schezuan peppers so buyer beware. Brown Egg A little guilty pleasure of mine. As expected, well balanced soy marination! Green beans Nicely prepared with a drizzled light bean sauce.

Right as we walked in, the hostess was warm and welcoming. She has a great attitude and seemed to enjoy talking with all the customers. We ordered the following: Eggplant pork noodle (5/5) -- silky, soy sesame eggplant pork sauce with your noodle of choice (4 different variations). I got knife cut noodles and loved the chew House chow mein (4/5) -- strong on vinegar and a little bit too salty, but again really nice chewy noodles Pig feet (5/5) -- tender, slightly chewy, sticky, soy-based trotters. A must-order even if you are skeptical Overall, nice portions, reasonable prices, and tasty food. read more

Very disappointed first time try, will never come back! Tonight, my family and I visited Xiang Xiang Noodle for dinner. We placed our order at around 7:35 PM and then waited for more than 20 minutes without receiving any food or even a glass of water. What was especially frustrating was that two tables who ordered after us received their noodles and all of their dishes before we got anything. When I asked the server about it, I was told that those customers had called in their orders ahead of time. This explanation is unreasonable and disappointing, as I clearly saw the server took orders from other two tables after mine. It is unacceptable to leave seated customers waiting for over 20 minutes without any communication, food, or even water. No apology was offered, and no effort was made to check on us. We ordered a marinated egg for our child, but after more than 20 minutes, not even that simple item had arrived. We still had not received a single glass of water. The entire experience made us feel ignored and treated unfairly. read more

Xiang Xiang Noodle was a good find for me. Their address is in Sunnyvale, but, they were a few blocks away from my hotel in Santa Clara. They specialize in handmade noodles. They were busy when I arrived with almost every table occupied. A guy, who looked like the owner, saw me and took my order. I ordered their beef noodle soup as a to go order. The beef noodle soup came in a clear beefy broth. No spice at all. The noodles were good. It was enough for my wife and I to share as we weren't too hungry. The price was okay. It's a good place for noodles. I'll be back when in the area for work. read more

What we ordered: - Salt and Pepper Eggplant: This was recommended and delicious. The eggplant was very crispy and juicy on the inside. - Sichuan Style Spicy Soft Wontons: The wontons were pretty plump and the wrapper was thin. The owners were coming by and helping us mix the wonton sauce evenly every so often. - Dan Dan Noodles: so YUMMY. This was cooked well and had the perfect amount of spice and numbing.

Authentic Chinese noodle shop with knife-cut handmade noodles that offer plenty of options. Try their beef sirloin soup for some delicious broth with Szechuan peppers, but most of their noodle dishes are good. I did find their sauteed string beans to be a little too salty, but otherwise, it wasn't too bad. The grandparent-like staff are warm and friendly and treat you like their grandchildren. Note that there is a 10% discount if you pay with cash. They have plenty of nice wooden tables and chairs that are also able to serve larger gorups too. read more

Cute Chinese family-run spot! This no-frills restaurant is tucked away in a plaza with lots of parking. They have a large menu with lots of Sichuan options and even an AYCE experience for $33.95. The service is super friendly vibes and one of them has such a bright and friendly attitude! We came around 8:30pm on a Sunday and got seated immediately. This spot seems to be well loved by locals and had a bunch of food app delivery people coming in.

Came on a Friday night and we had a great experience! The waitress was very lively and animated, making it a fun dinner. The food: each dish was about $16-17 The beef noodle was my favorite. 8/10 wish there was more than the 4 pieces of beef but overall, noddles were perfectly thick and had a nice chew. The broth was rich and flavorful, and very hearty. Get this! The spicy sichuan style wontons were pretty good (7/10) and they adjusted the spice to be mild. The wrapping felt a bit old / not fresh but flavors were on point. The sichuan dan dan noodles (7/10) were flavorful and we ordered the fine noodles. Lacking in meat but flavors were definitely there. read more
