Slow evening evening in at Mr. Liu Noodle house had a warm and calming dinner. I had the House Special original beef noodle soup. The portion is a healthy size so it’s quite filling by itself with good depth of flavor. I was told it was slightly spicy, but couldn’t really taste any, I don’t actively seek very spicy stuff but do enjoy spice to a dish. I added two small spoons of chili oil to add some of that spice to the dish so if you are concerned about spicy, unless you are incredibly sensitive it is very low spice. I ordered a side of the pork ribs as well, they were tender and fall off the bone with good flavor, but personally would’ve liked if they were slightly crispier exterior with like a broil or something to finish. Overall very happy, the meal was warm, filling and comforting in a slightly chilled evening

Such damn good noodles & wontons.
It was the nourishment we needed and have missed.
We both ordered the pickled peppers & beef with veggies, as well as wontons.
Worth making another trip into Oakland for the food.

One of the best Sichuan cuisines in the Bay Area. Loved their spicy 🌶️ noodle dishes and meaty dishes. The hostess was friendly and welcoming. I have visited here several times. My bd buddy also loved the dishes. We especially loved the sliced shank and tripe!

Ordered the wonton beef special. It was amazing. I later learned that the wontons are hand-made. The service was great.

It’s hard to find a solid clear broth beef noodle soup that’s not spicy. Most places will blast it to hide the quality but this is good stuff.

I visited this restaurant after seeing some great reviews, but my experience didn’t quite live up to the expectations. In our group, we tried dishes #4, #6, and #8. #4 was quite spicy, which might appeal to some, but for me, it lacked other flavors to balance out the heat. #6 had a very large portion, especially of noodles, but the flavors felt too bland, and there were just a few small pieces of beef. Overall, while the portion sizes were generous, especially for the noodles, we felt the dishes could use a bit more balance in both flavor and ingredients. Given the disappointment, I don't think we will be returning any time soon.
Phenomenal little family-run noodle shop. Husband runs the kitchen making all ingredients from scratch, wife runs front of house with incredible hospitality.
Definitely worth a stop for a bowl of delicious homemade noodles.

The food was great! Definitely one of the spicer zhajiang mien I’ve had but still absolutely delicious ! They seasoned the sauce beautifully, the ground pork was flavorful, and the cherry on top was that the noodles had a nice QQ texture to it. The portions were somewhat large too. Me and my friend should’ve split a bowl instead of ordering individual bowls.
The waitstaff were really friendly and accommodating. They answered all our questions without judgement and made sure we had a glass full of water at all times.
Overall, I’m exited to comeback here again!
