“The staff here are so nice and attentive. I walked in on a weekday and was immediately greeted and seated. I ordered the spicy noodles and a vietnamese coffee. Not your traditional bun bo hue, very satisfying. It was a pretty hot day, and the staff turned on the fan for me!It looks like the vietnamese sandwiches are what this restaurant are known for (there was a steady flow of walk in and phone take out orders for sandwiches the entire time) so I'll be back to try that next.“
“The food is reasonably priced and good. The Bangkok dumplings is crispy and tasty. The chicken in sunshine basil is tender and the flavor is a bit on the sweet side. The Chiang mai ramen is very rich and the chicken is very well cooked but the taste can be a bit overwhelming with the fried noodle. Overall we enjoy our food and service is nice too.“
“Everyone here is absolutely delightful. Right when you walk in, you are greeted with a very friendly hello! They are very considerate and care about delivering a quality experience. This place is worth going to just for the wonderful staff alone. Food is always consistently good as well!“
“After having The BECK a few days, I had to come back to try the Pad Thai Fried Chicken. It didn't disappoint I like the fried breaded fried chicken sliced up placed on top of pad Thai. It's a very good and unique combination. However if I can suggest, I would like to try the basil garlic coated fried chicken with the pad Thai. I like the sweetness of the basic garlic chicken. Nonetheless the pad Thai fried chicken is a very good dish. I definitely will come back to try other dishes.“
“4+ Chinese cafe that seems to specialize in Northern Chinese dishes or noodle dishes and dumplings with some of the signature numbing spice that can be found on the menu. The vibe: located in a new strip mall in the East Pleasanton area that seems to focus on primarily Asian eateries. This place itself feels modern and very familiar to the San Gabriel Valley (SGV) area in Southern California if you are familiar. There's a big screen that splits time between the food items and this anime like character that dances, haha. It's a fun /sleek Asian centric spot. Came here with my brother's fam and I personally got the tomato egg mixed noodle. I had a lot of meat the day before, so was trying to cut back. The noodles and tomato/egg is a classic combo and thought it was very tasty. The pan fried and steamed soup dumplings were really good as well. My nephew was going to town on the soup dumplings. The service is solid. If I recall, you order through QR codes...something that I am getting more and more familiar with (like a lot of places in SGV - where I'm working at the moment. There's a lot of parking because there's a big lot which is normal for the area. I would say there can be times where it's super busy and lots of traffic going through. Definitely a great spot, especially in an area that previously didn't have spots like this.“
“Overall food quality was good and price was reasonable. Though they have limited vegetarian options, but they were good. I had cucumber salad, fungus salad, spicy dry tofu and vegetarian chow mein. They were good. They do not have many tables in case if big party, confirm them in advance.Vegetarian options: There were limited options but good enough. They are good too.“
“This is a highly recommended local restaurant we should support and treasure! I went there this afternoon for a quick lunch and ordered a small Combo Pho and a piece of Fried Shrimp Cake.For the Combo Pho, the meat quality is great and sufficient and the pho amount is just right! Most importantly is that the soup is hot and you won’t get thirsty after having their soup. At $12.50 price, that’s a great price in Tri-Valley since pandemic.Also, I’d ordered a piece of Fried Shrimp Cake as the side of my pho. The shrimp cake is crispy and full of shrimp flavor and I can cut it into 9 bite size and it only cost me $7.00 only!“
“First impression means a lot when you are trying out a new place. The greetings from the staff was so cheerful and pleasant. Don't know her name but she wears her hair in two ponytails. Even though we are supposed to order online they still come by to take our orders and clarify questions we may have. A lot of restaurants don't bother. We had the pickled cabbage fish and the pork cartilage noodles. They are good! Though they can time down the salt a bit more but that's a personal preference. The pickled potatoes is a good appetizer. Would definitely recommend this place.“

“This is a tricky one. Getting Jajangmyeon right is so tough to pull off impressing Koreans. This is like trying to get a baguette right in France. Myeongdong is situated in the Pacific Pearl plaza where almost out of no where you have this massive Asian cuisine bonanza going on in Livermore - traditionally considered Asian dessert. It was really weird to see that many legit Korean / Chinee / Taiwanese / and other food and chains all the way out there. I guess they're for outlet shoppers?Either way, Myeongdong's Jajangmyeon was definitely on the legit side. The noodle texture was relatively good and unique. The slight fail is definitely with the sauce. Plenty of veggies and meat but no gravy. This means the Jajangmyeon turns out dry and leaves a lot of noodle without any flavor coverage. I hope the chef puts a bit more effort into the gravy and au jour, especially cause that is the cheaper part of the sauce.Their Tangsooyook - deep fried pork - that always accompanies the Jajangmyeon was also quite good. Decent portions, decently sweet sauce. Nothing mind blowing but also not to be shy of.Jjampong - spicy seafood noodles - the soup didn't have much soul in it. Barely passing the acceptable mark but again, not too shabby considering how far out this joint is compared to the rest of the Korean population.Prices were appropriate. And considering how new the place is, the atmosphere was clean and bright.These types of Korean comfort food places is all about "aging" and maturing. There's a bit of breaking in that must be done and I think as the years fold under, let's see how they either establish themselves into a destination for pilgrimage or simply wither away. As of now, I'm more on the hopeful side.Parking: The plaza parking lot - despite being quite spacious - literally fills up. And 1/3rd of the stores weren't even open. Good luck finding parking.“
“Did not expect food from here to be so good and authentic! I have tried a lot of dishes here and one of my favorites is definitely the larb. The dish is tangy, bright and refreshing, yet spicy and full-flavored. Their pad makuer is also great with deep, rich, smokey, and spicy flavors. Their excellent selection of vegan options is definitely a huge plus.“
