“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.“
“The best Thai food we've had in a long time! It's the BECK, nothing else compares! The Roti was good but small. The server was great for sit down, but take out service the next day could be more friendly. Yes, we loved the Beck so much we had to have it for dinner the next day! Thank you, the food is excellent!“

“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.“
“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!“
“I love fat rice rolls very much.My cousin’s soup is rich, pink and tender, and the pork intestines are super tasty!Also ordered a big bowl of noodles (pork trotters + fatty intestines)The pig's feet melt in your mouth! ! Also a must-tryNext time I want to try the red oil hand ❤️in additionThe clerk is very kind! ! !“
“Cosy little place with really good food and the owners are super nice! Can tell that some of the customers are regulars and seem to have become friends with the owners. The claypot wonton soup and pan fried buns are super good, and the scallion oil noodles!“
“I particularly like this autumn and winter limited edition pickled vegetable and beef rice noodles.I think the spiciness of the beef brisket stewed in spicy soup is slightly spicy, but it is very thoughtful to be able to adjust the spiciness when eating the beef and noodles separately!!The beef brisket is juicy, tender and especially sweet when cooked in stock.“

“Hot bowl is the best food for lunch. You can make your own bowl with available options. Tried chicken hot bowl, veggie bowl with tofu. Tried options with spinach, pasta, Thai curry and also with teriyaki sauce.. all items are made great and tasty here.. highly recommended for lunch for veggie and non vegetarian.“
“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.“
“Recently, I had the pleasure of taking my son out for a special date night at Special Noodle in Newark, and it was truly a delightful experience. The food was simply delicious, earning it a solid 4.5 stars in my book. While the chow fun wasn't the best I've had, and the soup dumplings were just average, the chili wontons definitely hit the spot.However, the star of the show was undeniably the numbing beef soup. It was bursting with flavor and truly a must-try, although be prepared for a slight numbing sensation in your tongue and throat. Despite this, it remains one of my favorite soups.In addition to the fantastic food, the service was top-notch. The staff was quick, responsive, and very accommodating, despite the language barrier with some servers. Their warmth and friendliness added to the overall pleasant dining experience.I also appreciated the unique decor and ambiance of the restaurant, particularly the lavish lights adorning the overhead ceiling. It added a special touch to the dining atmosphere.Overall, Special Noodle offers a memorable dining experience with its delicious food, excellent service, and charming ambiance. I highly recommend giving it a try.“
“It’s a nice clean place, with great Pho. The quality of Pho soup was great as well as the quality. We ordered Pho with Pork wonton, chicken and shrimp. Although I liked the soup, what disappointed me was the broken wantons, all of them had the meat out of the wonton. We also ordered a side of grilled pork, which was also a disappointment.My suggestion if you are visiting here is to stick to Pho and order their typical dishes. The soup quantity and quality along with the noddle and meat would not disappoint you.I would rather not experiment here. But overall a good experience.I would want to go here again“
“The manager on duty was amazing! He did a great job ensuring there would be tables available for guests who are just getting their food. It is very inconvenient and inconsiderate when patrons reserve tables before getting their food, so to have a manager who is so proactive is really attentive customer service. A++!!“
“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.“
“First time here with my friend for pho and it was good, my friend and I enjoyed the pho that we ordered! They offer a good amount of food in the menu and even seafood boil! Their service is pretty quick with seating and serving the food. Ambiance is family friendly and their parking lot offers plenty of spots.“
“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!“
“I have only tried chili oil noodles at Ox9. Not much vegetarian options here. I have tried 3 locations of this place in Cupertino, fremont and Milpitas. Chili oil noodles are consistent in taste. The noodles were thick and chewy, very filling. It's a QR code order kind of place. Not much service or ambiance. No frill restaurant but gets the job done. Affordable and tasty.“
“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.“
“Literally everything on the menu is good. First time I actually want to try everything. All the dishes other tables ordered look amazing too. On the weekend for breakfast the line is out of the door. Would recommend to just try once. I bet you will get hooked.“
“Food was deliciousService was very niceOur orders came out fastAtmosphere is nothing specialIf u like Thai cuisine u won't go wrong w any of your choicesWe had Pad Thai, Garlic Rice, Red Curry to share, we also had fried spring rolls and Roti Canai“
“I really like this rice roll shop. I don’t know why the rating is so low. The waitress is very nice. I ordered the Tingzi porridge, which is extremely rich in content. I also ordered the siomai, phoenix scratch and fried dough sticks. I really liked the siomai. I also ordered it. I ordered claypot rice. The pork ribs were not too thick. Overall, I liked it. The most surprising thing was their chili oil. It felt like there was XO sauce in it. It tasted so delicious. I almost finished eating before I thought of taking a photo.“
“Ordered #2 spicy sate noodle soup. The food came out quick and was super flavorful. The location has plenty of parking spaces and it is across from Marshall's. I thought their menu was affordable judging that lots of food places are charging $16 for a plate of food. I can't speak for all dishes on the menu but the one I had was good. It was a lot so I had to take it to-go. You can't see in the picture but there was a lot of meat hidden in my broth as it comes with flat noodle and lemon. Super tasty and will come here again. Note: This dish has peanuts.“
“We had an assortment of dishes and shared all as one would family style. The sauces and ingredients were quality almost as good as we had overseas. What highlighted the key ingredient was the noodles. Better than most casual locales we’ve experienced. I couldn’t recollect the Korean dish names, but check the pics. After lunch, we came to the consensus that the dishes we had were better than expected. Our foodie has been to Santa Clara location as well and precedes that this location has better quality pork dishes. Hope someone will agree or have similar experiences. As always, post wherever you end up.“
“Visited here for lunch on a weekday with some coworkers. I've come here before a long while ago, but not recently. Attentive staff, and delicious food. Generous food portion for the regular bowl, and it was very filling. Restaurant appeared clean, orders taken within reason, and food came out quickly.“
“Sichuan wontons were the bomb, definitely recommend. I'm still thinking of those wontons. Steamed dumplings were also great quality- simple but filled with flavor. Busy, but not too crowded. Service was nice and fast. All the dishes were high quality, reasonable price!“
