Noodles near Brisbane, CA

“It was cold out, the wind was coming off the bay and it was a damp wind, the kind that goes all the way down to your bones and make you think of having pot roast or a hearty stew for lunch....But no....she wants a salad....a salad, I said! A damn salad! Take this exit, she pouts out...we'll go to MoBowl and get a salad, they're the best in the area! You'll like it she said.
So when it's cold out, and you have your heart set on pot roast, and she says...it's salad! It's gotta be MoBowl.

“Found this spot recently and I’m already hooked! We tried the combo (rice rolls, siu mai, curry fish balls) and teriyaki chicken egg rice - everything was delicious and super authentic. Perfect if you’re craving real Hong Kong flavors! Service was incredibly warm and friendly too.

Oh and they had super cute HK themed merch you could purchase as well - egg tart towel, packaged noodle towel, egg tart magnets, etc.

Such a hidden gem, def worth a visit!“

“So delicious. Had the pork sheng jian bao, chili oil wonton and Chinese broccoli. Pork sheng jian baos were amazing, the soup was delicious, and the crispy bottom was a nice touch to the soup dumpling, something i don't see often. Chili oil wonton were delicious as well. Service was timely and friendly. I would definitely come back here again.

no wait on a Monday night right at opening time 5pm for dinner“

“Good food, but expensive for what it is. Very authentic and has a similar flavor profile as some of the noodle places I've had in Japan. I ordered the duck soba and the soup was quite bitter and medicinal. I can see why some people like it but personally not for me.“

“the wontons were super delicious and filled with a really good amount of meat. the spicy oil they used tasted amazing and added a lot of flavor.

the noodles were really good too. my only complaint is they were extremely greasy, but that might just be how the dish is cooked. overall still very tasty.“

“We arrived at 4:50pm on a rainy Sunday and waited ~45mins to get seated (group of 3). The restaurant’s capacity can accommodate 28 guests and they were very efficient with their process (i.e. they took note of group size in line, made sure people reviewed the menu before getting seated, and they had an one-hour limit). Our service was quick. We had both the signature and spicy versions of Tori Paitan, and spicy lamb ramen. Also an order of their seasonal Hokkaido uni and A5 wagyu hand roll. The broth of all 3 ramens was rich, full of umami. Spice added more to the flavor but almost non-existent on the heat front. Chashu was a great balance of fatty part and meat. The fried shaved carrots and eggplant in the lamb ramen were such a pleasant touch to the bowl of perfectly chewy ramen. The A5 wagyu was buttery and melted in your mouth good. Uni was just okay - I had higher expectations with Hokkaido uni. The sushi rice was a bit on the dry side as well. All being said, I’d still say this is a place I would return.“

“This place never disappoints! So good“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“the Thai soup with the prawns in it I like mine spicy“

“Having enjoyed their dishes many times for months, It’s beyond “Very Satisfying”! Excellent, delicious food! Quality well maintained although it is a hard time under C-19. Hygiene suggestions n requests well followed! Thanks 🙏 Customer Service outstanding! Highly recommended 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“This place has officially ruined ramen for me. Because if I go somewhere else, I’ll compare it to this place, and just be like, “Damn, I should’ve just gone to Taniku Izakaya instead.”
Perfectly cooked noodles in a flavorful broth, both the crab and the pork that I have gotten have been amazing. They can adjust the spiciness on the broth if you can’t handle too much spice, which is nice. The portions are generous, but not so huge that there ends up being a huge bowl of broth even after you finish your noodles. Delicious gyoza, as well.
It’s a nice, cozy, hole in the wall spot.“

“The pho broth was so delicious. The chefs special and a number 2.
I may not be a pho expert however this pho was well worth the 40 min drive.
Service wasn’t bad, had a bit of a language barrier.
When we walked in we thought of turning around as the outside and inside are not appealing to the eyes. However the flavor makes up for it 10fold. Will surely be back“

“Noodleosophy is local Bay Area chain focusing on hand-pulled noodle dishes, and this location in particular can be found in Millbrae's Social Eatery food hall. As part of Social Eatery, patrons can take a seat within the food hall, place their orders on the provided tablet, and a staff member will bring the food an beverages straight to your table.

We decided to get their beef tendon noodle soup and selected the biang biang noodles (you're able to customize the dish to your liking with whatever noodle option you prefer). We also got a side of their pork and shrimp dumplings, because who doesn't love dumplings?

The beef tendon noodle soup was rich and flavorful, while the accompanying noodles were perfectly cooked and chewy - providing a great mouth feel to the dish. The dumplings were delicious as well, and were a nice addition to the meal as a whole.

If you're ever in the Millbrae area and want a one-stop shop for all your dining and beverage needs, then Social Eatery is definitely the place to go and be sure to enjoy some delicious hand-pulled noodles from Noodleosophy while you're at it!“

“Says feed 2-3, but with the cheese and glass noodles our family of four now have lunch boxes for a week. This is the kind of meal that will send you into a regenerative coma where you will meet your ancestors. Perfect after a hard weeks work or an arduous adventure with the gang at the local watering hole.“

“Pardon my photo quality, I got excited and only remembered to take one after digging in. This might be the best bun bo hue I’ve had. The broth was perfectly balanced with just a touch of sweetness that created the most savory umami flavor bomb. It’s a very rich broth that’s meaty in flavor but not overwhelming. There was so much tender beef shank in this bowl. I kept finding more and more. The noodles were perfectly soft yet chewy. Service was quick but still polite. I loved the miniature collection at the front door. My boyfriend’s pho was also a huge and satisfying portion full of tasty flavor. Can’t wait to come back!!“

“Very yummy experience - would recommend the beef noodle soup, onion and egg pancake, and cucumber salad. Noodle portions are huge and food comes out quickly. We went on a Saturday at noon and were seated immediately, ladies serving us were very sweet. Note that it’s cash only. Highly recommend, we will be back!“

“The sesame chicken is DOPE. All the food is good. My friend really liked the Singapore noodles.

We ordered way too much food and ate delightedly eating leftovers all weekend.
The sesame chicken stays crispy somehow after the microwave.

No complains about any of the dishes.“

“Absolutely loved this place! The food was delicious, the service was incredibly efficient, and the restaurant was spotless. Even though we had to wait a bit, it was completely worth it. Every dish we tried was amazing. You can really tell they take pride in what they do. Highly recommend if you’re in San Francisco and craving great Chinese food!“

“I’ve been eating soup all week so when my friends wanted to grab ramen I was looking at what else was on the menu. Big pieces of salmon. Great sauce. Garnishes were delicious. Cold beer served in a glass. It just felt comfortable and the noodles looked great I just wanted something light and fresh.“

“Good food and fast service!“

“Solid Chinese yum, not the standard Chinese-American.

Popo Noodles, with rice-wine braised pork belly is savory, soy-based comfort; egg noodles cooked to still-chewy perfection, dressed for flavor but still dry. Pickled Bamboo Shoots add-on, a must, to cut through the light meat fat.

A good option when at Spark Social.“

“The best wonton soup out of all places in the Bay Area. Their broth and wontons are super special which I guess because of their secret seasoning. It also comes with broccoli, which is so different from other places with cheap lettuce. The staff are nice.“

“Surprisingly tasty fusion cuisine. The gelato is my favorite. The only downside is the kitchen closes at 8pm and some of the signature dishes take a longer time so I didn’t get to order them. Arrive early to able to order the full menu! Highly recommend it if you are looking for something that sparks joy.“

“I was pleasantly surprised by this spot! We ordered the noodles and dumplings, and everything was delicious. We spent about $100 for 3 people (no drinks), which felt fair for the quality. The space is small and very clean—perfect for a casual meal or a small group. I’ll definitely be back! The cucumbers were my favorite!!“

“A bit of a hole in the wall restaurant serving Chinese food with an emphasis on noodles. I had the bbq pork bun and tan tan mien, both of which were really fresh and flavourful. Prices are pretty standard and the portions are pretty big for the price. The place was completely empty when I went there during lunchtime on a weekday so service was quite fast. There was one guy tending to the front of the store and he was polite and attentive. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“We loved our experience at Kothai Republic! The staff were lovely and gave great menu suggestions. All the food we tried was incredibly delicious. Seriously, every single one. Will definitely be recommending here to others and cannot wait to come back!“

“Food very tasty n freshly made quick service friendly staff“

“Enjoyed omakase 8pcs with some age dashi tofu, nigori sake and the white peach panna cotta!“

“Amazing food!! I got the crossing bridge soup and the flavor was so rich. There are a few soups that are gluten-free, just mention to the server so they can let you know what sides to avoid that come with the soup. Service was so fast! Portions are very generous with super reasonable prices. Will 100% be coming back.“

“So good! They have many different combinations of dumpling fillings. We went with the three treasures, and the mushroom & chicken filling, one with soup and one without, they were both so good. The soup that it comes with is filled with seaweed, and a light savory broth. I highly suggest adding vinegar to the broth to bring out the flavor even more. And you make your own dipping sauce at the table for your dumplings as well.

Service was great, and the food came out quickly. Plenty of seating, with wall decorations.“

“really friendly staff and great eats! we will be back to work through the entire menu!“

“Suzu is such a gem in Japantown. Every dish we tried was comforting, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the broths were rich without being heavy, and the toppings were generous and well balanced. The fried chicken was especially standout. Crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and incredibly satisfying.

I also loved the variety on the menu. Whether you want something warm and soupy, something chilled and refreshing, or a hearty curry, there’s something for every mood. Everything felt thoughtfully composed rather than thrown together.

The atmosphere is cozy and unpretentious, exactly what you want from a neighborhood noodle spot. Service was friendly and efficient, and the space has charm that makes you want to linger.

Highly recommend if you’re in the area and craving comforting food. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“I went to this restaurant on the recommendation of the woman at the front desk of the hotel Zetta. I started with the turmeric dill catfish sandwich and fresh salad.

I made the mistake of not reading the menu carefully and ate half a jalapeño before I realized the temperature wasn’t the only heat.

The waitress gave me a Thai iced tea on the house to help me with the spice. I also had a banana pudding with peanut topping pie for the sweetness.

Once I learned that the green pepper was a jalapeño, I took it out of the second half and finished the sandwich fine.

I sat by the window and watched over a dozen scooter drivers in helmets pick up delivery orders while I was there. That reminded me of Spider-Man delivering pizzas on the back of his bike in the city.

Considering the prime location, the prices are very reasonable.“

“Loved the food! We had tea leaf salad, platha with coconut curry and eggplant & tofu. All delicious and we packed for dinner, there was plenty of food to go around. Also had blue lychee and Vietnamese coffee. Staff was very friendly and helpful.“

“First time here. Long line to get in but it moved fairly quickly. Had the Roast beef Aburasoba. Mind-Boggling GOOD! The flavor was out of this world! The service was fantastic!! I can’t wait to go back again!“

“Yuanbao Jiaozi offers delicious, handmade dumplings packed with fresh flavor and satisfying texture. The menu features plenty of variety, from classic pork fillings to vibrant vegetarian options, all served hot and comforting. With quick service, fair prices, and consistently tasty dishes, it’s a standout spot for authentic, flavorful dumplings.“

“Fast friendly service. But you’ll be taking a to-go bag home for sure!! I was stuffed!!“

“Great as always. Went on a Saturday night.. Party of 3 + a newborn. Called around 6, and they weren't taking walk-ins anymore... Went on open table and booked a reservation for 8:30 lol

Got there early, which wasn't a problem. Drank 2 beers at the bar while we waited. We actually ended up getting sat about 30 ahead of schedule 🤞🏽

Got seated upstairs, which was a first for us. For some reason the vibe is a lot more laid back up there I feel? Could just be me, not sure, but it was more my vibe for sure.

We ended up getting a couple items that the entire table shared. Shaken beef, wok egg noodles + shrimp, bowl of white rice, as well as the roasted crab.

Everything on point, everything delish. Ended uo spending around $230 I want to say, with tip included.“

“This is a must visit for anyone in Jack London Square“

“Very good pho. The pho broth was very flavorful even before I added the herbs. The noodles were all broken apart, but not too bad. We also tried the fried wings with fish sauce. It's sweet, crunchy, and tasty, but the wings were kinda small.“

“Really good grilled pork banh mis, loved all of the ingredients but wish the inside of the actual baguette were scooped out to make it easier to eat. A little expensive at ~$20 after tip and taxes but probably on par with other lunch spots in FiDi. Would try their vermicelli or rice plate next“

“Hands down, my favorite place in San Francisco!!! This place has EXCELLENT, delicious dim sum and food.The spicy pork soup dumplings are some of the best I've had. Get two orders. I've tried the Singapore style noodles, (excellent if you want to add a mild flavorful noodle dish to your dinner spread). The staff is exceptionally kind, helpful, courteous and accommodating. The place is clean and inviting. The food is delicious. Thank you Ken, Jessica, Andy and Yia-Yia. Go and eat in for the lunch specials and dinner! Try the egg yolk custard buns too! Best thing ever. I've had the Mongolian Beef, Beef with String Beans, Singapore Noodles, Shu Mai, BBQ pork buns, all delicious never had a bad meal here! Go! It's delicious 🤤🤤“

“Best Thai restaurant in San Francisco, Ca. Food was delicious!“

“Fresh, delicious and great folks“

“Awesome Food. Good prices.“

“This palce is a certain of community and history on Bernal Heights. Old friends come in to greetings of hugs and kisses from the staff. New patrons are welcomed in almost equal fashion! The food and vibe is hearty and made with love. No Reservations. Come over, put you name down, but you can enjoy wine or beer from a freat ludt inside or outsides as you wait. Shhh!!! Don't tell anyone else.“

“This place is making a conscious effort to offer more vegan options, and is now displaying “Vegan Friendly“ in the window! Try the new mushroom dish, which is like a succulent jerky with a lovely dipping sauce. Super friendly owners as well! Don’t sleep on this place.😄“

“Cool place (love the decor/style), nice staff & tasty food. Some dishes you will not find in the average Thai restaurant in the Bay Area. For example, the chef or owner is from northern Thailand so the menu features a top Northern Thai dish - Kao Soi noodle soup (beef or chicken), or the all time fav 'street food' grilled pork skewers (moo ping) served with sticky rice (ck out the menu on their website). I had the Pad Kemao Chicken (menu says beef but they are happy to make dishes with what you like & even have Beyond Meat dishes on the menu - cool to see stir fried basil with Beyond Meat (Krapao Beyond Neur)). The taste of my wok fried pad kemao was delicious, same or better than any I've had on prior trips to Bangkok. Glad to have discovered a solid Thai restaurant that doesn't have watered down flavors. Good to see they have a lot of gluten free and vegan choices on the menu too. Definitely will be back, keep up the good work!“

“What a great find! Generous portions, friendly and cheerful service, fairly quick service, and very, very reasonably priced! The salt-pepper prawns were large and perfectly crisp. Dumplings were large and full of filling. Dry green beans were a hit with the teens and my husband! And pan-fried noodles had plenty of beef and vegetables. Will definitely return to this restaurant the next time we visit SF.“

“Thai Nghiep Ky Mi Gia is a fantastic spot for authentic and flavorful food. The dishes are always fresh, rich in taste, and consistently satisfying.

Service is impressively fast, even when it’s busy, and everything comes out hot and well prepared. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable, which makes it an even better value.

If you’re looking for delicious food, quick service, and affordable prices, this place is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended.“
