I held a team dinner here last night. The seating was easy even for a group of 5. The majority ordered the chili oil noodles and I could not recommend it more. The spice level was mild, I might modify it more on my next visit. The bok choy served as a nice contrast to the chewy noodles. The service was fast and not overly attentive, which has its pros and cons. I will definitely be returning, it's not a dealbreaker.

The spicy oil noodle was delicious- not too spicy - just right! To go quickly filled - large portions

Was in the area and I love noodles and came across this resturant in a strip mall. Parking was easy it was around lunch time but plenty of spaces. The resturant isn't super big but it isn't small either. We aren't braise beef noodle soup and the chili oil noodles. The server was super friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. The chili oil noodles we followed what the other reviews said to get the wide noodles which was delicious. The beef in the braised beef noodle soup was tender and there was a good amount of beef to noodle ratio. We will definitely come back again.

*BEST CHILI OIL NOODLES EVER! This is by faaaaaarrrr my families favorite place for noodles! We have tried so many different noodle places in search of the perfect, chewy, and flavorful noodles and we have finally found it! Their chili oil noodles are definitely my favorite! They come with pork but can be substituted for chicken (not sure if they offer any other meats) and come with the most flavorful sauce that isn't too spicy. They have the option of round noodles (pictured) or flat/wide noodles. My personal fav is the round but the flat are also amazing! Not only is their food amazing, but the couple who runs it is soooo sweet. They always go above and beyond to serve us and make sure everything is perfect. It's refreshing to have an amazing meal AND amazing staff. Being surrounded by their friendliness and warmth just makes the food taste 100x better.

Uniqueness: Chili Oil Noodles! Wait Time: [x][x][x][x][x] Food Quality: [x][x][x][x][x] Service: [x][x][x][x][x] Setting: [x][x][x][x][x] Cost: [x][x][x][x][ ] Recommendation? The Chili Oil Noodles with the Wide Noodles. You have to get the wide noodles! Okay, we know this place has a funny name but rest assured, OK Noodles serves better than 'okay' quality noodles. OK Noodle replaced an old vegetarian spot and I finally got to try this place several times, satisfied to say that each time I've been here it was delicious and well worth the price! They have a various assortment of noodle dishes: Chili Oil Noodle, Beef Noodle Soup, and other dry & wet noodle dishes with their spices but I only (so far) have gotten their chili oil noodle w/the wide noodles and it is one of the best noodle spots to get for a quick bite for lunch. The noodles are perfectly chewy and fresh and the pork w/spice they put in is savory & not insanely spicy and complements well with the side of bokchoy. It comes to around 16-17 dollars a bowl so it's moderately pricey. Service is quick and friendly and felt completely comfortable eating here by myself if I had to. Wait time is decent as it does get pretty crowded during peak hours. I already know for sure I'll be back for more chili oil noodles and have to eventually try something else and I highly recommend others to give OK Noodle a try!

OK Noodle? More like Awesome Noodle! Chili Oil Pork Noodles hit the spot. Black Fungus mushrooms and cucumber salad were so good mixed into the noodles. Worth the trip. Great fast friendly service. Server was a delight start to end.

Love the chewy goodness and it's so tasty too. At first I thought it wouldn't fill me up but then it's actually pretty filling. Overall I'm excited to try all the dishes here, knowing that the noodles are solid. It's worth a trip out here to get these spicy noodles. Trust me, you wanna come here. Plus they serve it up pretty fast. I got the chili oil noodle and the beef noodle soup. Try it ! It wont disappoint.

One of my favorite restaurants in the Bay Area, and I've lived here my entire life. The food is easily a 10/10; it's very difficult to find noodles of this quality in the States. Before I found this place I used to frequent QQ Noodle also, but it honestly can't compare to OK Noodle in terms of both noodle texture and seasonings. Just remember to specifically request the wide noodles if you prefer them like we do on the Chili Oil Noodles. Service is also great; the owner is extremely friendly and remembers his customers, and the food always comes out quickly. Ambiance is the only thing where OK Noodle is just OK, while everything else is perfect.

Best noodles in the Bay + great service!! Our favorite is chili oil noodle (with thick noodle) and beef noodle soup
Delicious comfort food. I can never say no to noods. Service here is quick and to the point. Noodles and chewy and flavor is good. Plenty of meat in both dishes.

Not sure why this place is highly rated. QQ noodle is so much better for hot chili oil noodles and old taro for beef noodle soup. Service was also poor

My first time here and I'm a fan. Thick, chewy, home made noodles with amazing flavors? Sign me up! I love spicy food so I knew I had to get the chili oil one, which didn't disappoint. I wish they had some sour crunchy vegetables to add a new crunch, but nonetheless, I still enjoyed this dish very much. The minced pork and the 2 pieces of vegetables went well with it. (I'm being sarcastic with the veggie part, I wish they added more!). Spicy food lovers delight. Also got the spicy noodle soup, which was good too, but it definitely wasn't the highlight.

Very clean and delicious spot for various Chinese comfort foods. Run by a polite and attentive family, I very much enjoy my experiences when I come here. I have also seen the small children doing homework in the corner. I recommend the hand pulled noodles! D1 and D2!

My friend and I came on a weekday night and had no problems getting seated right away. We ended up deciding on the beef noodle soup and the chili oil noodles as they seemed to be the most popular options. I would consider myself a big beef noodle fan. Unfortunately, I did feel like the broth was missing some depth compared to others that I had before. It was a slight disappointment as I usually like the broth more than the meat or noodles in this dish. We felt like we had to use chili oil to lift up the broth. However, the noodles tasted fresh had a nice chew to it (almost like a chewier udon noodle), and the meat was perfectly tender (not chewy at all which was a surprise since I feel like most places tend to make the meat chewier). The chili oil noodles were surprisingly my favorite. I'm not usually a fan of Sichuan spice, but this one had a lot of flavor, and the numbing spice was well-balanced. Adding a bit of black vinegar was the perfect addition to help cut through the oil. I would definitely recommend getting this dish over the beef noodle soup if you're torn.
