I got the mala tang noodles from here and it was delicious. I loved how i could choose from so many toppings and the food came out within 10 minutes. There was also so many condiments to add to it yourself! The service was friendly and upbeat. I would definitely come back, i recommend.

I had been at SB four years and Lao Wang is definitely one of my favorite lunch place. It's so close to the campus and I was always able to get my food fast. I really like their rice noddles and fish roe balls.

Me and my friends love lao wang! Laos is the best place to go before going out we always get a pitcher of golden state cider. My fav is the garlic chicken rice bowl and the sweet potato fries. Fun music and great service!

The food was pretty poor quality, and then I learned from some friends who used to work there that the food is far from fresh :/

Tried Lao Wang Asian Street Food and really liked it. We got the beef sukiyaki bowl and the dry malatang mix.

The sukiyaki bowl was simple but packed with flavor — thinly sliced beef, onions, and rice with that perfect balance of savory and slightly sweet. The sauce soaked into the rice nicely, and the portion size was solid. The spring roll on the side added a nice bit of crunch.

The dry malatang was loaded with variety — tofu, mushrooms, noodles, broccoli, peanuts, and a good kick of spice. The chili oil gave everything that classic mala heat without being too overpowering, and the textures kept it interesting all the way through.

Everything came out fresh, hot, and well-seasoned. The portions are generous and the flavors are bold. Definitely a great spot if you like strong, spicy, street-food-style dishes.

Mediocre, I wouldn’t say it’s bad but it’s definitely not something I would miss. Kind of slow for serving noodles.

Went here after class and enjoyed a hot bowl of noodles and some of the buns. The portion sizes are filling and the buns were very enjoyable too!

Skip the rice bowls unless you like corn. Soups are good

Hands down AMAZING FOOD!! Authentic, big portions, affordable price. You’ll be back!! Owner is local and all his original recipes!! You’ll often even see him working during the week. :) I’ve ordered plenty on the menu but this is what I got today, the special with tofu and I’m obsessed. Thank you Lao Wang!!!!🙌🏼
