“The pho soup isn’t really traditional Vietnamese way, but more of a fusion of Mexican street tacos and pho, with a bunch of purple onion and cilantro taking over the broth flavor. It’s kinda like eating a beef taco, but in the form of the soup.“

“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.“

“Such delicious food for a great price. The hainanese chicken was succulent and the spring onion sauce was perfect for the chicken rice. I loved the vegetable with seafood too, cooked with delicious peanuts. The laksa is not like the one from Singapore, definitely a new creation.“

“As usual, Ramen Nagi has a long wait. Sometimes there are lulls in the line, which is when I happened to get in. The line is outside, so be prepared for the weather. When you get close to the front, they give you a sheet to fill out on what you want. I got the squid ink with everything the usual except with lower sodium and a 4 on spice. I should have asked for more spice, 4 was not that spicy! I also like the thick noodles, the thin ones are a little too thin. The meat on the top of the squid ink ramen was scrumptious!!
The service, once they get you seated, is super fast. I added the bean sprouts from the table to mine! We also split a chicken kaarage, which was yummy. I had enough to take home a little in a too go box!“

“Owners have a very friendly vibe here. Came here with a friend and we had a good time.
The fried eggplant is a must try if you don't mind it being a bit expensive 🫰. Crispy outside and soft inside with great flavor.“

“Just devoured dinner at Merit Vegan - think "family dinner" vibes with a plant-based twist. The corndogs and cheesecake? Unreal. Parking's easy, portions are generous, and the staff is pure sunshine.“

“Excellent food and service! Some of the most authentic Chinese noodles I ever had. I have traveled to China before and had these dishes. The food here is just as good. Further, the dishes here are regional based (Central China). That means not many Chinese restaurants have these wonderful spices/ flavors. Highly recommended!!“

“Many promotions going on, they have eat for under $10 and I was more than full. Also they have a gift card deal and more discounts when leaving a review that I am taking advantage of! This place is very well priced and you can tell everything is fresh. I saw the girl cutting up all the vegetables from scratch. Very honorable place, really liked the kake, similar to miso soup in my opinion“

“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! 🍜🐷😋🥢“

“Buns we're pretty good and really affordable. My big complaint is that the bus cart they push around every 5 minutes sounds like nails on a chalk board. Makes my skin crawl its so loud. You guys should get a can of WD-40 and lube the wheels on it.“

“Solid spot for some Chongqing style food. Everything I've had so far has been very fresh, quite flavourful, and generously portioned with reasonable prices. The ground pork dry noodles are my personal go-to favourite. As typical of Chongqing style food, the spice level really hits nicely! Service is polite and fairly quick. The restaurant is pretty well kept and clean as well. Definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“Aburi Shime Saba: (5/5)
The aburi shime saba is the best thing on the menu. It’s lightly poached and the caramelized sugar on top adds the perfect contrast of texture and flavor. I’ve been here a few times to try the appetizers, but the MUST GET item is still this saba.
Uzumakiya Udon: (4/5)
The Uzumakiya Udon is good,the noodles are chewy, not overcooked; and the broth is flavorful. The other toppings leave something to be desired, so if you want to be satisfied, order the Oxtail instead. (Although it’s gotten quite expensive😔)“

“Ox 9 in Cupertino is consistent in quality with all other locations I've tried. I always enjoy the Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles for their noodle texture and broth flavor--incredibly soothing and satisfying. Looking forward to visiting this location more as the weather cools down 🙂↕️“

“My favorite place for jajangmyeon! Don’t miss the tangsuyuk and jjamppong. Stir-fried jajangmyeon is great for larger groups due to its portion size.
The line gets long during lunch and dinner, so arrive early. The parking lot is small, but there's usually street parking nearby.
Service is quick and efficient, and they’ll box up any leftovers for you.“

“Special Noodle Restaurant is authentic and the food is delicious! The atmosphere is fun and has a good vibe. Although you order on your phone, the service is really good and delivered promptly. We ordered the Tomatoe Shrimp, side of eggplant, and the House Special Braised Pork Belly with Noodles. Delicious!“

“The soap was very tasty, it had a lot of flavor and wasn't too salty. The noodles were great as well, they were long and chewy. There was also a good amount of meat and vegs as well. One bowl of soap coated me around 20 dollars before tip and they only took cash.“

“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.“

“We love how fresh these buns are manually made. They are delicious with a few different interesting flavors. The spicy mince pork and tofu buns are our favorite. It still tastes good the day after. It may seem pricy, but the portion of each order is large, so it's totally worth the money. Only gets 4 stars from me because the frozen wonton have so little meat. They tasted great though, but not much filling at all. Generally, we're happy with the food and the super fast service. Definitely come back for more bao buns, but probably not the wonton.“

“The food tastes great! There are a lot of options, so even if you don't like sushi there's plenty of options, like miso and udon. The staff are always patient and attentive. There are many affordable roll options, and the menu is decently priced for the area as well. Great place to go with a partner or a group of friends.“

“My mom and brother who live in the neighborhood recommended this restaurant to me and now whenever we come to visit from the right coast, we always come to here to eat or takeout. My brother eats here weekly. They have the kind of favorite dishes from our childhood and their pork-crab roe soup dumplings are the best! I also love their smashed cucumber salad. The service is also great and the servers are friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend it!“

“Stopped by The Mandarin Chinese while hoping for some great Chinese food in town. The location was convenient, and the space itself is quite nice, with the added bonus of upstairs seating. Service was smooth; we came on a Friday evening, got seated right away, and dishes arrived in a steady flow.
Unfortunately, the experience was a bit mixed. The sizzling rice soup was disappointing; it came out lukewarm and didn’t sizzle at all, with a watered-down broth. Definitely underwhelming.
That said, the rest of the meal was much better. We ordered Spicy Beef Tendon, Salt and Pepper Tofu, Garlic Snow Pea Leaves, Eggplant in Spicy Sauce, and Kung Pao Chicken. Every dish was flavorful, and the Szechuan-style seasoning really stood out. The beef tendon dish, in particular, looked and tasted great.
Overall, while not everything hit the mark (and prices felt a bit high), the main dishes were strong enough to make it a solid option for Szechuan cravings; just maybe skip the soup.“

“I spent a few weeks in Xinjiang a million years ago and ate laghman -- the Uyghur's national dish -- two or three times a day. Loved it loved it loved it. Hadn't had any in over 25 years, then recently moved to the area and saw that downtown Menlo Park had a Uyghur place. Woo hoo!
The noodles and sauce are perfect. (The meat is surprisingly low-quality so I ask for it without the meat and just get some flank steak slicked up for stir-fry at Whole Foods and cook that up at home to add.) The portion is generous and the dish keeps well in the fridge for a few days.“

“As of mid-october 2025, a 15% service charge is already included in the bill. Customers do not have to pay additional tips unless they are particularly happy with certain servers. The food of this restaurant is mainly Sichuan style (spicy), but there are no less non-spicy option. They are generally good. It is getting pricier and pricier, as are other restaurants.“

“Very good rice noodles!A large portion of food, I have a light taste and my mom prefers more flavor, I ordered the mushrooms and she got the tomato beef, we both are very satisfied the noodles. Staffs are very friendly, they call us immediately when they found my mom left her hat in the restaurant. Very good service!“

“Vi at Fremont Pho Ha Noi was super sweet, she constantly checked on us, and sensed that we prefer spicier sauce as South Asians, she asked whether we would like to have a spicy sauce and we just said yes unanimously! Small things like these make a big difference. And also she asked me whether I'd like ketchup with my chips, and that's super sweet of her. She made everything better about this place. Vi, hope to see you again when we visit the restaurant again!!“

“Got 3 types of okonomiyaki, yakisoba and curry katsu for a party of 5, more than enough food. Favorite okonomiyaki was the ebi (shrimp). Flavorful and not too heavy. The seafood one was a little too heavy with the amount of mayo added. The katsu and yakisoba we're alright. Service was good, friendly waiters! Wait on a Saturday night at 7 was around 15 min.“

“Hands down one of the best ramen I ever had. The tonkotsu ramen is amazing, tasty yet not-too-gravy broth, chewy noodles, refreshing sprouts and veggies, and on top of all, real good chashu pork, much unlike any bland pork slices elsewhere. Great service and fair price. Highly recommended, though do remember to reserve online prior to your arrival.
---
Update, service degraded a lot since original visit. Probably because they enforce a 15% flat rate tip, so customer satisfaction is no longer relevant.“

“Delicious dumplings! Love the steamed pork soup dumplings or pan fried soup dumplings. Do not miss out on the egg fried rice, super light and fluffy. Orange chicken is also good. Egg custard buns for desert and you’re set! The price is also very reasonable and large portions. Perfect hole in the wall dim sum spot!“
