“I tried Seasons Noodle and Dumpling Garden, and this place definitely surprised me in a good way.
I’m not usually a noodle person. What I know about noodles is either the wok style ones I used to eat back home in Egypt or simple instant noodles at home. That said, this spot changed my perspective. The noodles here are handmade right in front of you, and you can really taste the difference. Fresh, well-textured, and done properly.
The place is very busy, which is usually a good sign, and overall the service moves fast. If you order a broth based noodle dish, it comes out quickly and is served hot, which is great. The issue comes when one person orders broth noodles and the other orders a non broth dish. Those take noticeably longer, and by the time they arrive, the broth dish is already cooling down. That takes away from the experience when you’re eating together.
Because of that timing gap, I’m taking one star off. The food quality is strong, and the handmade noodles are the highlight, but better coordination between dishes would really improve the experience.
Still, if you’re into fresh, handmade noodles, this place is worth trying. Just keep the order timing in mind.“

“This is a special review, and I’d like to highlight one of the employees, Mr. Gao. We visited the Cupertino location, and my dad accidentally left his bag there (with his phone and water bottle inside). When I called the restaurant, I mistakenly reached the Milpitas location.
Even though Mr. Gao doesn’t work at that location, he went above and beyond to help us. He personally contacted the Cupertino store, reassured me, and explained that they have security cameras, so they would be able to locate the bag. His calm, thorough, and responsible approach meant a lot to us during a stressful moment.
We already love the food at DH Noodle, but this experience really showed the integrity and sense of ownership your staff has—qualities that matter deeply to us. Huge shout-out to Mr. Gao, as well as the Cupertino team. Thank you for the outstanding service.“

“Been wanting to try this spot for the longest but feel like I would be let down because Nam Vang on Alvin is elite and always a sj staple. Eventually gave it a shot because my brother went give his opinion. Came on a Monday around 5pm. No one in sight... we were the only ones there, which wasn't a good sign, service was great though.
Overall clean and your standard Vietnamese restaurant.
To the food! Man the #1 was honestly as good or little better than nam vang. I did it with broth today since my body needed some thing soupy from the weekend. Meat was very tender, soupy was cleansing my soul, and a lot of flavor from the dried shrimp and ground pork. Chinese donut was fresh it felt like. Only thing the meatball was not sticking together as much as I like (I like Nam vang meatballs better)
Glad I have this place a shot. Probably will go here again soon to try the non broth one.
Also heard it could be same family as owner of Nam Van, which would make sense.
I don’t understand why this place not busy. Maybe location issue. Feel like restaurants there don’t get enough foot traffic“

“Highly recommend the delicious , tender, and authentic Hainanese chicken. Must order. We had 1/2 chicken. The chicken soup was very tasty soup and costed $1.
The stirred fried green bean with minced meat was good texture with flavors.
Ordered a whole Hainanese chicken for our Lunar New Year’s Eve dinner 😋“
“This new spot opened up. It’s located inside a building called the “Culinary Block” inside a large parking lot for take away orders only. Overall, the price is good for the quality and quantity of food. I got the Northwest Lianpi noodles, Xinjiang Rice Noodle With Beef Shank, Meiling Congee, Homemade Yogurt, and Homemade Plum Juice.Liangpi: The noodles were soft and slightly bouncy with a nice chew to them. Very unique texture! It came with three sauces to mix into the noodles so you can adjust the spiciness however you like. The flavor was very balanced and it was easy to finish the whole thing without getting tired of the flavor.Xinjiang Rice Noodle: This dish was very flavorful and a little on the saltier side compared to the other dishes. Nice if you are into something heavier in flavor. It’s not as spicy as it looks and comes with a thick round rice noodle.Meiling Congee: This dish was pretty special, the flavor profile is very subtle but well balanced. I haven’t tried something like this before. It has a tiny hint of sweetness and has a bit of a nutty soymilk flavor and bits of lotus seed inside. Like a dessert porridge. Very tasty!Homemade Yogurt: This yogurt honestly has a phenomenal texture and I would definitely recommend it! It’s almost like a mix between mochi and liquid yogurt in the slightly stretchy texture. The flavor is good too since it’s just a tad sweet and just a tad sour.Plum juice: Slightly sour and sweet juice that is refreshing to go with food and increase appetite.Overall, I would say the food here is pretty good because the owner really pays attention to the quality! The food is well seasoned and balanced. Can’t wait to try the other things on the menu.
Parking: Plenty of parking“

“This was my first time having lunch at this restaurant, and I had a great experience. I highly recommend the dan dan noodles and roujiamo, a Chinese-style meat sandwich — both were flavorful and delicious. Special thanks to Brother Ma for his warm and attentive service. He was very welcoming and even brought us fruit plates, oranges, and pomelo.
To my surprise, Brother Ma is also a world champion in a World Cup skills competition, and he even performed a handstand for us at the restaurant. I never expected to meet a world champion during lunch! Overall, it was a very pleasant and memorable experience, and I would definitely come back again.“

“A decent place to grab a quick bite. I ordered some of their popular hotdogs and it's good. All the sauces are not too over powering, you can still taste the hotdog and other toppings on it. I will be back to try the others on the menu.“

“Tried Ox 9 Lanzhou Handpulled Noodles and honestly… solid spot. The thin noodles surprised me super chewy with great strength even though they’re thin. Respect to the noodle puller because that texture was on point.
The soup was flavorful and came with that classic Lanzhou level grease, which sounds intense but actually keeps the broth hot and satisfying. Spice level was perfectly balanced not trying to end your day, but just enough to wake up your taste buds.
Also tried the thick noodles from the chili oil bowl strong, super chewy, and full of character. Basically the noodle equivalent of someone who works out legs every day.
Overall, this place is a legit hand-pulled noodle fix. Great texture, great flavor, great heat. Definitely coming back whenever that Lanzhou noodle craving hits.“

“Delicious! I love their spring rolls, easily my favorite place to get them. Their pho is really flavorful. I love getting their beef rib combination. The 1st time we came here, we stopped by again 2 days later. I highly recommend coming here for pho and late night food“

“Service was great! We had a large party (multiple to young families) and we were able to get seated all together. Additionally the ordering process through the app makes it easy, imo, and collaborative, too. The food was fantastic - delivered to the table quickly, was great temperature and the flavor and texture were delicious! Look forward to returning.“

“This place is one of the most underrated restaurants ever in the bay. The udon noodles are a little pricey and the menu doesn't have much variety but the food is one of a kind. Their udon is the best I've had anywhere in the city and is on the same level as those restaurants in Japan.“

“No complaints! Came in for a late lunch and the restaurant was still fairly packed. Ordered a Dry Noodle with Ground Pork and it came out within 10 minutes. The noodles had a nice chew and the dish surprisingly wasn't oily overall. Simple and fulfilling! 🍜🐷😋🥢“

“We had a wonderful dinner here, with boiling beef and pumpkin cake. We also got the beef bun. All were delicious. We love the atmosphere and deco inside. There’s also free ice cream! Highly recommended for anyone with young children, or those who enjoy a good atmosphere - it feels like a real restaurant in China. Highly recommended!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Absolute Best Dan Dan Noodles & More!
Dough Zone has officially become my go-to spot whenever I have a craving for Dan Dan noodles. The flavor is consistently spot-on, and you can really tell the difference with their homemade hand-tossed noodles—the texture is perfect every time.
It’s also a massive hit with my family. My son can’t get enough of the Xiao Long Bao and the Pan Fried Buns; they are juicy, crispy in all the right places, and always disappear within minutes. We also tried the blanched kale on our last visit, and it was surprisingly delicious—a great fresh addition to balance out the meal.
If you’re looking for authentic flavors and high-quality handmade dough, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!“

“Came here for a casual date night on a Friday. Place was pretty empty for a Friday which meant we got seated right away, and staff was friendly throughout. Portions run small so plan to order more than you think you need. Still a great value. For the food itself:
The Dan Dan noodles are the move. Oily, salty, spicy, and the Sichuan peppercorns actually numb your face and stick around. Makes sense they're the most popular thing on the menu.
Chicken xiao long bao were good but the broth inside was weak compared to other places I've had them. Still good though.
Chicken potstickers were well executed, good crisp on the bottom, but nothing standout about them.
Sweet and sour cucumber was a solid starter and looked nice, but the slices were too thick to actually be able to rip out.
The egg fried rice is really good. Oilier than most but that's exactly why it works.“

“We got the nanjing roasted duck and beef noodle soup here, and they were both very delicious! I would definitely come back here again. The roast duck was cut well, and its skin was very crispy. The sauce was special and complemented the duck well. I can see why this was highly recommended here. As for the beef noodle soup, it was on the sweeter side, and the beef tasted like it was red braised. If we get the same next time, we definitely need to get some plain rice to balance the saltiness and sweetness.“

“A pretty solid pho restaurant in the area. The building is pretty unique, that's all on its own area in a plaza and it looks like a lot prettier prior to a renovation of some kind. It looks that they deleted off some of the walls and redid some of the seating and the colors of a little more muted too. At least there's a gumball machine. Speaking of which, they have an extensive menu with a lot of pho and rice dishes and even some sandwiches and even milk tea! I had to shaken beef and it came with some french fries that were crinkle cut and was not too bad! It was a little chewy even with the meat but it's okay, at least the onions and bell peppers wernt raw or anything else. I absolutely love their spring rolls! It's got the normal feelings like the noodles and the bean sprouts and the shrimp and chicken, but they also put a Chinese donut stick inside too! That made it a little crunchy and I really liked that! The price was also pretty good for the quantity that you received, which wasn't the same that I could say the same for every other dish here at $6. The shaken beef was $17... They also had a milk tea for $6. All of this was pretty easy to order and because there wasn't a lot of people today on a weekday service was really fast and easy. Payment is also easy too as you get up from your table to pay as well as obtain any takeout boxes as needed.“

“First time at Red Chili and it was wonderful!
We had the Chicken Satay, Roti Canai, Yellow Thai Curry, BBQ Pork, and Tamarind Fish Fillet. Everything was great where you can tell the quality of food was well made without too much oil nor too salty.
Met Tiffany and she was an amazing host as an owner and very friendly.
Great mom and pop shop and go support them!!“

“Great place for malatang style eating where you select your own food and portion. I love eating the vegetables there so I choose all the veggies I love to eat only. They also have a number of meat that are pretty good for your soup as well. It feels like you go shopping and they cook for you.
Once select your food and select your soup type that you want, they will cook it for you and bring it to your table. Medium spicy can be a bit spicy for some people so choose wisely.
Depends on how much you get but it could range from $15-22/person. I normally get about 1 pound of food which costs around $20. There is not much service since it’s pretty much self service.
The place is fairly clean and decent. Could be cleaner but not bad considering the traffic.“

“Hole in the wall with the yummiest Hu Tieu in the Bay Area. Very authentic and taste just like something you’d get on the streets of Vietnam. The portion is Huge! I got #1 with soup on the side with a order of yutiao. It came with all the inners and seafood. 10/10 would recommend!
The building might be old, but the food has so much authenticity and vibe is immaculate. Chefs kiss.“

“I passed this restaurant all the time but never gave it any through. Being a rainy day, my wife wanted to try it. I had #5 on the menu, WOW !! Just like how mom uses to make it. It's an authentic original flavor from Vietnam. Not the fusion BS food that's pop-up restaurant is doing now a days. When I went to pay the bill, i looked in the kitchen and saw all the cooks were old in their 60s +, I understood why the flavors brought back memories of the pass. Yes, it's $$, but it's about the same as everywhere now.“
