Noodles near El Cerrito, CA

“Fantastic Korean restaurant! My partner and I have tried Korean food in both east and west coast, and this is definitely one of the best places! Wide range options, authentic food and great service (and I’m glad they don’t play Kpop music in the background). We ordered clear soup beef stew and cold noodles, so satisfied.“

“Great food and we will definitely visit again“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“I got the duck last time and was seriously disappointed. Got the tenpura one this time and completely different story. Flavor is incredible especially with the chili flakes they give you. The wasabi salt is a great dipper for the tempura! Now we are hooked!“

“Mensho is definitely not worth the wait in my opinion. The line is usually 45min-1hr long. Coupled with the fact that parking is hard to find and the restraunt is tiny and cramped, you are better off going to marufuku or hinodeya.

I had the spicy GKO. Compared to the other garlic ramen I have had in ramenagi this was ok. The chasu is belly slices like marufuku and not the spiral rolled belly cross section which I prefer since it falls apart more easily.

They don't give you a lot of toppings on the ramen. There is no ajitama or menma in the default. Given that the price point is higher than other sf ramens this doesn't seem like value for money.

Clearly other people disagree since there is a line out the door but also the restraunt is tiny so this could be artificial scarcity and the insta hype cycle.“

“We brought our friend here to celebrate his birthday because we wanted to gift an experience. We saw you featured on Check Please . . . And you guys WOW’d us beyond our expectations!! Amazing staff! And amazing food . . And yes, amazing cocktails!! Down to the last finishing touches ! We will definitely be back !“

“LetsSweet Kitchen is a Hong Kong chaan Teng restaurant in San Francisco South the market neighborhood, across the street from the Porsche dealer. We were in the area and decided to give them a try. Highly rated at 4.9 on Google, 4.7 on Yelp.

The place is clean, Service, friendly and food solid. Prices are higher than Chinatown, of course. Parking is a lot easier here. If you're in the neighborhood and want some Hong Kong style Chinese food, this is a good bet. If you're intimidated by Chinatown, this is a great place to go.

Food Picks:
Brad beef brisket rice with four piece wonton ($22.99) is a special during lunch and includes a drink. Ample quantity and good wontons and sold braised brisket flavor. The Hong Kong milk tea was strong and not too sweet. 8.5/10

Black pepper pork chop and onion over rice ($16.85) had reasonable quantity and was cooked just fine. The sauce was on the peppery side. 8.5/10.

Overall - Very Good
Food - Good
Decor - Very Good
Service - Very Good
Value - Good

Would we come back - Maybe“

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

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

“I really like this restaurant and have ordered from here many times. I don’t usually write reviews about food quality, because I understand that every restaurant can have an off day. But I’m writing this because I genuinely like this place and don’t want to see the quality decline.Today I ordered my favorite soup for delivery, and unfortunately, it was very disappointing. The food looked like it had been sitting for a while, and even the rice — something as simple as rice — tasted like it wasn’t fresh.I know the quality this restaurant is capable of, and this was simply not what I expected. I live only about a 15-minute walk or a 5-minute drive away, so I’ve chosen to order from here many times because I genuinely like the restaurant.I honestly don’t want to see the quality go down. That’s why I’m taking the time to write this review. I hope the restaurant takes it as constructive feedback, because I would much rather come back and have the quality I’ve experienced here before.“

“Dropped in for late lunch. Quick service, great food.“

“Coming from the San Gabriel Valley, which has plenty of Sichuan food, I’m always on the hunt for good Sichuan places in East Bay. Of which, there aren’t that many.

I was pleasantly surprised by the food at Mr. Liu Noodle House.

The noodles in the Beef Noodle Soup were bouncy, and the broth was wonderfully fragrant and savory. It had just the right amount of flavor and salt.

Their chengdu dumplings are delicious as well. Nice homemade wrappers with a chew to them, in a fragrant balanced chili oil. Just the right amount of Sichuan peppercorn.

The blistered green beans had a nice wok hei to them, and packed a salty punch from the pickled vegetable (“sui mi ya cai”)

Service was lovely. The boss lady 老闆娘 refilled our water multiple times.“

“Taniku is our favorite izakaya spot in the city. There can be a bit of a wait, but they do sometimes let you make a reservation if you call well ahead.

The small dishes don't disappoint, especially the kinoko nimono and the agedashi tofu. Their ramen and handrolls are delicious too.

Skewers have been just okay. Perhaps we didn't order the right items.

Nothing hits the spot better than the first chug of cold beer in front of a table covered with appetizers.“

“Ok how have I lived a 5 min walk from this spot for the past 3 months and not gone sooner!!! I love pho and Monster Pho is some of the best I’ve ever had. My partner got the chicken rice plate and thoroughly enjoyed it — chicken was flavorful and perfectly cooked. Not only was the food great, but we also really appreciated connecting with Tee. I highly recommend eating here.“

“OMG, this honestly surprised me! The place is not that big, tables are a little cramped, but the food is so good! Great price, huuuuge portions. I kid you not. Super worth it. The broths are full of flavor and packed with umami. And, call me cheesy, but I do enjoy the decor of this place! If you’re in the area, definitely stop by and check them out.“

“friendly service and tasty food“

“The fall here is incredible and I've been getting it every week for the past 6 weeks to ease my tummy as I have IBS. Sometimes. The pho is a tad on the sweet side, but it is consistent and delightful. The service is always really attentive at the beginning and once you have your food they kind of leave you alone, which I like.

The atmosphere is standard for what you'd expect from a mom and pop Vietnamese pho spot, but a little subpar for my tastes“

“Absolutely loved dumpling story! Dumplings were good, I’ve heard one of the best in the city. I was just visiting and thought they were good, but not the best I’ve ever had.

Service was quick, their cucumber salad is something you should definitely get. Pretty presentation. A little expensive.“

“Got sat right away after putting myself on waitlist , food came out right away I got the hakata tonkatsu with medium spice . It was so flavorful and good . I didn’t taste any spice so would have been nice to get a bit more spice in it . My only regret is I ate it too fast . The other ramens looked good too . Especially the spicy ground chicken (TanTan). Workers were going at it getting orders out left and right and seemed to enthusiastic about it producing yummy meals for people 🙌🏼“

“I called in about 30 minutes before they were closing. The gentleman on the phone was very polite and professional, he gave me a few recommendations, and even though I don’t eat raw meat, he offered to cook it completely instead. I tried so many soups like this and can definitely say that it was one of the best pho soups I’ve tried in my life. Soooo good! Definitely recommending to try ! Thank you for great service and tasty soup.“

“Jane was an amazing hostess!! The ramen here is the BEST I’ve ever had in my life, so light and fresh. The chicken buns were phenomenal 🤩 The atmosphere felt like I was in a different country, just beautiful! I’d highly recommend Marufuku San Francisco!“

“Great lunch spot for a busy work day. They are working hard and it’s so fast. Beef was soft and well seasoned with bitter melon. They gave me hot and sour soup with my lunch. Fried rice with egg was an unexpected addition to the lunch special too.“

“I live only a block away from several very popular Vietnamese restaurants in the Tenderloin. This is a great choice despite located in it's kinda interesting Tenderloin neiberhood. Super hot pho tai! Quick service, and if you want cold water, they bring a nice pint in a big plastic thermos container. Love it every time.“

“Awesome Food. Good prices.“

“Food are great. Very clean surrounding. Staffs are very friendly and respectful. very outstanding customer service 👏 Keep it up! 10 ⭐️“

“Ngon 😍cung đậm chất Việt Nam“

“I forgot my waitress' name but she was so attentive and kind! This is my second time coming here and I drove an hour to get here. My first visit was perfect and this visit was even better. I will definitely be back. The price, quality, and the service you receive at this location needs to be studied and trained to other restaurants.“

“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!“

“At this location, the fried garlic is served separately—a detail I truly appreciate. I also really enjoy their thin egg noodles, which strike a perfect balance between chewy and tender without becoming overly soft. However, the dish tends to be quite oily, so if you prefer lighter meals, this might not be ideal for you.

My usual order is the Number 1 without kidney, with the soup served on the side. I also always add fish cake as an appetizer. The total cost for two regular dishes plus one appetizer comes to $53.75.

What I love about this restaurant is how it evokes the authentic flavors of Thailand’s street food, especially the dry yellow egg noodles. While it doesn’t include traditional Thai-style char siu or wontons, the taste remains quite close to home.

This well-established Chinese restaurant impresses me with its surprisingly clean restrooms, likely due to my morning visits. Parking can be difficult, as only metered street parking is available. The branch tends to be busy, so clear communication with staff is important. Although there may be a short wait, the service is attentive and friendly.“

“I’ve been coming to this restaurant for around 15 years during every single visit to San Francisco. I brought my husband 9 years ago during our honeymoon. This time we brought our 8 year old. We were so excited to share this amazing restaurant with him. The ramen is so flavorful and has body in the broth. I will always return to this restaurant during any visit to San Francisco.
During this visit of 9 days we came here 3 times, this is how much we absolutely love everything about this restaurant!!!!!“

“Fresh, delicious and great folks“

“Very authentic and reasonably priced. Tasty too!“

“This place seemed like a good comparison to Papa Noodles on New Montgomery. I ordered the Momo Spicy Noodle for an affordable $11 base dish. I added the spicy chicken protein and an extra side of pickled yellow pepper because everything should be pickled.
The compost ready cardboard bowl is good except I think a little leaked onto my desk, so just something to watch out for next time.
The portions were good with lots of base thin noodles, medium sized pieces of chicken and a good amount of pickled yellow peppers.
This dish is definitely spicy and left a tingling sensation in my mouth 10 minutes after finishing.
I was delayed in picking up my order but it was ready and waiting for me when I arrived. A very pleasant person behind the counter greeted me and gave me the food.
Although Papa is still my favorite, Momo is a good runner up for lovely a noodle dish.“

“The food was good and the seating atmosphere was really nice! I feel like every menu choice had a variety of vegetables so I think this would be great for a health-conscious person. We got sushi and really liked the cha ya deep fried sushi. The food overall is very simple and vegetable-centered. Updated from previous review on 2026-08-01“

“Came here with a friend and got the ribeye banh mi which was huge and so good! I'm glad we waited in line, it actually was not a very long wait in the end and the food came out fast.

Good:
- Portion size is super generous!
- The price is good
- The meat was so juicy! Loved the ribeye and they are generous with how much they give you
- There are some good picnic blankets nearby and it's not too bad

Bad:
- Long lines and no inside seating

Overall this was an awesome find and hole in the wall and I'm glad I finally got to try it!“

“service and quality are top notch“

“Went here right after a 4-mile hike at Muir and this place literally saved my life 😭 I was STARVING, thirsty, and about to die from exhaustion.

Perhaps my best decision today was ordering the Hoanh Thanh Mi Hai Ky (house special wonton egg noodle soup) and a Vietnamese coffee. Service was super fast and accommodating—they even made my coffee in a to-go cup so I could carry it out later.

My table neighbor got his food before me and his bowl made the WHOLE restaurant smell so good I lowkey started getting hangry like WHERE IS MY FOOD??!! 😭 (extremely impatient of me considering my food literally came out less than 5 minutes after I ordered 💀)

ALSO GET THE FRIED FISH CAKE (cha ca chien)!!! You will not be disappointed.“

“Oh how I miss Anchalee! Beautiful cozy decor and the food is amazing. I have great memories of this place. Time to make my way back to enjoy.“

“This place is as authentic as you can get. It’s a gem cause not many places serve rice rolls “肠粉”. This place is no frills - you order at the counter and pick it up there yourself. The food is served on disposable plates. There’s a wide variety of sauces provided for you to add yourself to your food. The special soya sauce is the best and most original way of eating it. I had the rice roll express special - it was alright. The wantons were decent but the soup was lukewarm and barely had any taste in it. The soy milk was freshly made in house. More effort could be invested in keeping the tables clean. Overall - this place is a gem if you’re looking for a real Chinese experience without breaking the bank.“

“Stopped in on a whim and ended up having some of the best noodles I’ve ever had! Everything was fresh and full of flavor. I was told the noodles are handmade in-house, and you can definitely taste the difference. The service was great, and you can tell they take pride in what they prepare and serve. 10/10, highly recommend!“

“Delicious and fresh. Excellent vegetarian food. Great takeout service and online ordering.“

“Best Chinese food I’ve ever eaten and the service is fantastic the older gentleman that usually waits on us remembers every order without ever having to write anything down and every time I’ve been there our party orders at least 10 different items so that was impressive!
Also the food is served quickly and the hostess and wait staff are very friendly I highly recommend this restaurant!
Especially their mushu pork…YUM!“

“I absolutely love this place. I am a true American through and through. I don’t even have a passport. When I went/ go here, I feel like I just got off a flight in Thailand. Omg! The food is 10/10 the flavor the taste the spice!!!! I haggle recommend the bbq beef.“

“I have been a fan of spicy soups for years. I am always on the lookout for something hot and delicious. Rayman's Nudough is literally 3 blocks from my house. My current favorite dish is the Grilled Beef & Shrimp soup. I get mine an 11 out of 10 on the spicy scale. Totally worth a visit.“

“Amazing food with outstanding service!!“

“The best Asian food we have had in a long time! We were expecting average, but our did was delicious. A nice surprise was the Asian slaw served as an appetizer. Spicy, tangy chopped cabbage. Spicy eggplant with chicken and the massive shrimp in a honey walnut sauce we amazing. Each entree would feed two along with rice. Beer and wine offered. JUST GO!“

“This is the best ramen in Oakland and possibly the Bay Area. I’m still trying new ramen spots but out of 22 that I’ve tried throughout the Bay Area this is the best I ever had! The toloyaki is really good as well.

The vibe tho! Oh so nice , good music great atmosphere! I try to go twice a month but the way my cholesterol is set up I have to pull back lol.

Give them a try they are amazing 10/10“

“My Canh offers a clean and comfortable environment to enjoy delicious Vietnamese food. I have tried just about every dish on the menu over the past few months. Some of my favorites are Bun Canh Cua (Crab 🦀 meat udon noodle soup), Bo Tai Chanh (Beef Carpaccio), Beef Pho, Chicken Noodle Soup, Chicken Salad, Shrimp Rolls, Banh Xeo (Vietnamese Pancake), Pork & Eggroll Rice Vermicelli salad, Porkchop Rice with fried egg, Bun Bo Hue, 5-spice chicken over rice, fresh coconut, Vietnamese Coffee, Avocado Smoothie, Coconut Tofu & Mixed Veggies, and iced lemonade. If you haven’t been to My Canh, it is a “MUST” try restaurant in San Francisco. Located on 626 Broadway, SF CA 94133, between Grant & Stockton Street. Parking hint: FREE PARKING all day on Sundays on regular & yellow meters. My Canh is open Tuesdays to Sundays 11am-9pm. Closed on Mondays.“

“I highly recommend this small restaurant and its signature Pho: the broth is perfectly seasoned (with extra salt available on the table), it’s packed with meat, and the noodles are excellent. I love soup and would recommend this spot to tourists; the prices are great, and the place is clean and cozy. The fact that locals dine here is the best guarantee of the food's quality.“

“Yes, this place IS the second location of the very popular Mugunghwa in El Cerrito, and yes, it’s just as good, maybe just a tad quieter, though we did go on a Tuesday evening, and there was still a steady flow of customers.

The service was warm and welcoming.

Everyone raves about the delicious and generous portions of banchan. So let me rave about something else. They hands down have the BEST Galbi in town—so flavorful, so tender, juicy, and perfectly caramelized. For a bigger crowd, order the Galbi Jim with melted cheese on top (which they torch in front of you!). Always a show stopper and a generous serving of melt in your mouth short rib with all the fixings. And while you don’t get to experience the fun of cooking your own kbbq, once you give theirs a try, you really won’t think of anything else!“
