Noodles near San Bruno, CA

“Amongst many local eateries this was a gem. Great service with a smile. The decor is simple and familiar and includes a large screen video of Vietnamese food preparation.
Coming ourselves from a city full of Vietnamese restaurants the flavours here were spot on. The portions were larger than we expected.“

“I love this damn place! I am from LA County and just HAVE to stop here at some point whenever I visit. I usually get the shao mai, beef roll pancake, or the pork shrimp dumplings w/ chives. Recently tried the pan fried Shanghai dumplings and enjoyed them. That honey flavored grapefruit drink? Maaaaaan SO GOOD. I usually get two of those because they are just so tasty and refreshing.“

“I really liked the Binagoongan Rice. The flavor was there. It’s a meal by itaself and the portuon was large.“

“The food tasted OK at Little Vietnamese Bistro. There were two other parties when I ate here at 6pm on a Thursday night. Slow night. Food arrived shortly after I ordered. The chicken papaya salad $15 was drenched in fish sauce. It was a wet salad with a lot of nuts and shredded steamed chicken. The little pieces of crunchy dried garlic was a nice touch. It would have been nicer if there were more herbs like Thai Basil, cilantro or mint to make it more fragrant. The side of five spice chicken $7 looked dry, but it wasn't. It was juicy inside with a light coating of spices. At other restaurants, the skin can be rubbery. Little Viet Bistro cooked this correctly.

You can order in Chinese. The staff spoke fluent Cantonese to customers and Mandarin among themselves. Good job everyone at Little Viet Bistro.“

“Located near Luckys and Lowes, this is a neighborhood hole in the wall. It’s not an Ichi Ramen (shown in the front of the restaurant) as they just never spent the money to replace the sign. Being said this place gets packed fast especially on weekends. It’s a great spot for rice porridge and other Cantonese comfort food. Guess don’t judge the book by its cover 😉Tried the pork rice congee (hope I spelled that right) and the beef stew clay pot with both the regular and sweet Chinese doughnut. Enjoyed the tender pork and thick porridge. Beef stew was also very tender and savory 😋 I say check it out.“

“Having enjoyed their dishes many times for months, It’s beyond “Very Satisfying”! Excellent, delicious food! Quality well maintained although it is a hard time under C-19. Hygiene suggestions n requests well followed! Thanks 🙏 Customer Service outstanding! Highly recommended 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“It's packed and it may take bit to be seated. You write your name and party size on the white board.

The dry fried chicken wings are the best chicken wings I've had. Juicy and crunchy with a nice sweet glaze. The green beans, dry black bean sauce noodles, and hot braised chicken were all good but the dry fried chicken wings were the standout!“

“Pardon my photo quality, I got excited and only remembered to take one after digging in. This might be the best bun bo hue I’ve had. The broth was perfectly balanced with just a touch of sweetness that created the most savory umami flavor bomb. It’s a very rich broth that’s meaty in flavor but not overwhelming. There was so much tender beef shank in this bowl. I kept finding more and more. The noodles were perfectly soft yet chewy. Service was quick but still polite. I loved the miniature collection at the front door. My boyfriend’s pho was also a huge and satisfying portion full of tasty flavor. Can’t wait to come back!!“

“There are so many interesting reviews on this place, we decided to check it out ourselves. My personal favorite is their eggplant dish. Although my sister observed that it’s on the greasy side, which is probably accurate, I enjoyed the eggplant better here than at any previous restaurant.“

“Noodleosophy is local Bay Area chain focusing on hand-pulled noodle dishes, and this location in particular can be found in Millbrae's Social Eatery food hall. As part of Social Eatery, patrons can take a seat within the food hall, place their orders on the provided tablet, and a staff member will bring the food an beverages straight to your table.

We decided to get their beef tendon noodle soup and selected the biang biang noodles (you're able to customize the dish to your liking with whatever noodle option you prefer). We also got a side of their pork and shrimp dumplings, because who doesn't love dumplings?

The beef tendon noodle soup was rich and flavorful, while the accompanying noodles were perfectly cooked and chewy - providing a great mouth feel to the dish. The dumplings were delicious as well, and were a nice addition to the meal as a whole.

If you're ever in the Millbrae area and want a one-stop shop for all your dining and beverage needs, then Social Eatery is definitely the place to go and be sure to enjoy some delicious hand-pulled noodles from Noodleosophy while you're at it!“

“I’ve been eating soup all week so when my friends wanted to grab ramen I was looking at what else was on the menu. Big pieces of salmon. Great sauce. Garnishes were delicious. Cold beer served in a glass. It just felt comfortable and the noodles looked great I just wanted something light and fresh.“

“We loved our experience at Kothai Republic! The staff were lovely and gave great menu suggestions. All the food we tried was incredibly delicious. Seriously, every single one. Will definitely be recommending here to others and cannot wait to come back!“

“Good food and fast service!“

“The best wonton soup out of all places in the Bay Area. Their broth and wontons are super special which I guess because of their secret seasoning. It also comes with broccoli, which is so different from other places with cheap lettuce. The staff are nice.“

“Surprisingly tasty fusion cuisine. The gelato is my favorite. The only downside is the kitchen closes at 8pm and some of the signature dishes take a longer time so I didn’t get to order them. Arrive early to able to order the full menu! Highly recommend it if you are looking for something that sparks joy.“

“Tucked into a competitive stretch of Vietnamese eateries in the Sunset District, *Saigon BBQ Noodle House* might not catch your eye at first glance. From the outside, it reads like your classic hole-in-the-wall—modest signage, no-frills exterior, and prices that whisper “budget-friendly.” But don’t be fooled. Step inside, and you’re met with a surprisingly renovated interior: clean lines, warm lighting, and tasteful murals that feel more like quiet homage than decorative filler.

The service? Impeccable. Our waiter was not only courteous but refreshingly attentive—asking thoughtful questions about allergens and ingredients (yes, even flagging the presence of pig’s blood in one dish, which we appreciated). It felt like care, not just compliance.

We ordered the **Bún Bò Huế** and the **Green Papaya Chicken Salad**, and both arrived in generous portions that could easily feed two. The meat was high-quality and plentiful, the vegetables crisp and vibrant, and the broth—deep, fragrant, and layered with flavor. This wasn’t just a meal; it was a quiet masterclass in balance and generosity.

A moment of communal foreshadowing: an older woman at a nearby table was absolutely *demolishing* a Vietnamese crêpe with the kind of gusto that makes you trust a stranger’s taste. We’ll be ordering that next time, no question.

In a neighborhood where options abound, *Saigon BBQ* doesn’t shout—it earns your loyalty with quiet excellence. We’re so glad we trusted our instincts and walked past the first place we saw. This one’s a keeper.“

“really friendly staff and great eats! we will be back to work through the entire menu!“

“Loved the food! We had tea leaf salad, platha with coconut curry and eggplant & tofu. All delicious and we packed for dinner, there was plenty of food to go around. Also had blue lychee and Vietnamese coffee. Staff was very friendly and helpful.“

“First time here. Long line to get in but it moved fairly quickly. Had the Roast beef Aburasoba. Mind-Boggling GOOD! The flavor was out of this world! The service was fantastic!! I can’t wait to go back again!“

“Yuanbao Jiaozi offers delicious, handmade dumplings packed with fresh flavor and satisfying texture. The menu features plenty of variety, from classic pork fillings to vibrant vegetarian options, all served hot and comforting. With quick service, fair prices, and consistently tasty dishes, it’s a standout spot for authentic, flavorful dumplings.“

“Fast friendly service. But you’ll be taking a to-go bag home for sure!! I was stuffed!!“

“Great as always. Went on a Saturday night.. Party of 3 + a newborn. Called around 6, and they weren't taking walk-ins anymore... Went on open table and booked a reservation for 8:30 lol

Got there early, which wasn't a problem. Drank 2 beers at the bar while we waited. We actually ended up getting sat about 30 ahead of schedule 🤞🏽

Got seated upstairs, which was a first for us. For some reason the vibe is a lot more laid back up there I feel? Could just be me, not sure, but it was more my vibe for sure.

We ended up getting a couple items that the entire table shared. Shaken beef, wok egg noodles + shrimp, bowl of white rice, as well as the roasted crab.

Everything on point, everything delish. Ended uo spending around $230 I want to say, with tip included.“

“This palce is a certain of community and history on Bernal Heights. Old friends come in to greetings of hugs and kisses from the staff. New patrons are welcomed in almost equal fashion! The food and vibe is hearty and made with love. No Reservations. Come over, put you name down, but you can enjoy wine or beer from a freat ludt inside or outsides as you wait. Shhh!!! Don't tell anyone else.“

“Enjoyed omakase 8pcs with some age dashi tofu, nigori sake and the white peach panna cotta!“

“Thai Nghiep Ky Mi Gia is a fantastic spot for authentic and flavorful food. The dishes are always fresh, rich in taste, and consistently satisfying.

Service is impressively fast, even when it’s busy, and everything comes out hot and well prepared. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable, which makes it an even better value.

If you’re looking for delicious food, quick service, and affordable prices, this place is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended.“

“I was blown away by the balance of flavors. The Dan Dan Noodles were spicy yet nutty, while the General Tso’s Chicken was perfectly crispy with a touch of sweetness. The Mapo Tofu was creamy with a spicy finish that made the meal unforgettable.“

“Fast and kids favorite ever things delicious“

“Lovely dim sum spot. The soup dumplings were delightful. The Dan Dan noodles were not bad. Staff seemed light between Christmas and New Year's but the restaurant was not terribly busy either. I would go back for more. Great spicy wontons“

“Great Chinese restaurant. The chow mein was full of meats, and the noodles were a great texture. The sesame chicken was so lightly breaded and fresh, great flavor. And the Mongolian beef was extremely flavorful. One of our favorites in the Castro.“

“The name is so fitting! King of noods indeed!
I was in SF for some work stuff and had to go there twice because it was that good !
The beef chow fun was the right balance of onions, noods, and meat! The meat was also super tender 😍
The cold beef tendons were really yummy too!
Next time, I need to try some of the greens and heard the dumplings were also very good!

The service was impeccable - the two young gentlemen did an excellent job managing a relatively busy / small place!

Overall highly recommend!“

“Love this place the wait and drive is worth it“

“It had my lips smacking, stayed down the street from this place almost 4 months and just now got to try it.I would definitely bring friends next time“

“Just went here our first time on valintines day and although I did not have any noodles we had spicy spring rolls the Katsu chicken and chicken teriyaki skewers and everything tasted so good thin cuts of chicken lots of flavor all under thirty bucks we will definitely be back“

“Really really great food- flavorful and with just the right amount of spiciness that you can taste and feel but that doesn’t overwhelm the dishes. Inside is cozy and intimate and service staff were very friendly. Also, all of it is at a great price for dining out- was able to have two drinks, two appetizers and two entrees for under $75 after tip. Will definitely be coming back!“

“No matter where you’re from, if you like Chinese rice noodles and soup-based dishes, I highly recommend trying this traditional rice noodle soup from Guangxi Province at this restaurant in San Francisco. The flavor is quite authentic, and I think it’s worth it—even though I don’t live nearby.“

“Great flavors come off the woks at Nan King Road Bistro. The whole menu is worth ordering.“

“First time visit to Kevin and Chris Noodle house. Love the energy and good food. My friend had Pho and I had Vermicilli noodles. Also with fried chicken wings and Thai Iced tea. Amazing and all the staff super friendly and accomodating.“

“Good food. Definitely recommended.“

“I’m Thai and my family was in the restaurant business so I know Thai food. Our group of over 10 people dined here today. Food was great. It was a team event so we requested a prix fixe menu and budget control. The restaurant was very responsive and go above and beyond to help us with the arrangements. The menu options was good. We had some vegans in the group and vegan options were good too. Everyone in my team loved it. Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“Amazing sushi! Easily one of the best we’ve had in a while — everything was so fresh and flavorful. I love the idea of half rolls; it’s such a great way to try more kinds of sushi. The staff were super attentive and efficient. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Awesome! My family enjoyed it“

“My absolute go-to spot for authentic Southeast Asian comfort food. This is a true neighborhood hole-in-the-wall gem—it might be sparse (one cook, one server), but they make it work!
Must-Haves: The Roti Pratha and the Singapore Noodles“

“The food is tasty and delicious the inside needs a update the service is good it’s not too noisy“

“Friendly and quick service. Overall a very solid neighborhood spot! Got the beef noodle soup and cucumber with boiled peanuts. The soup was really flavorful and some of the best in the neighborhood. Cucumber was fresh and well seasoned. The prices are very reasonable as well.“

“The Wagyu Pho is off the charts delicious. I've done takeout and delivery, and each component is packaged separately so the crisp veggies stay crisp and the broth stays warm. The meat is delivered raw but cooks itself in the yummy broth. Portions are large and make at least 2 meals. I've never eaten in the restaurant, but it's super cute and cozy. A true neighborhood gem and my current go-to obsession!“

“We love it! This is party tray. Fresh, tasty, thick fish.
Love it every time we order to go, or eat in the restaurant.
There's plenty of parking next street, so that's not a problem at all.
Love their friendly and fast service!“

“😋😋 good eating experience“

“Waited approximately one hour to be seated. Spoiker: it was well worth that wait. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen and pork buns. I can't decide which part was better, the noodles or the broth! The pork buns were priced just right at $8 for 2. Some of the best I've had. You are all so lucky to have such a wonderful ramen bar in your community. I am from Maine and will be sure to stop by this establishment every chance I get once I am in town.“

“Incredibly friendly, kind, attentive, and helpful servers. Special shout outs to Lara and Tuta! You guys were awesome!

The food was amazing. All the ingredients tasted fresh and high quality. The flavors were well balanced and complex. Generous portions at such a reasonable price.

Highly recommend the spicy braised beef noodle soup with the signature housemade noodles. The noodles were cooked to perfection with a nice bite and chewiness without being doughy, and were flavorful thanks for the rich broth. The soup has a kick which was entirely welcome and the spice paired well with the sourness, cutting through the heaviness of both the beef and the wheat noodles. Will definitely be back to enjoy more!

The green peppercorn fish noodle soup was light and clean without any fishiness ruining the dish. I would want more peppercorn flavor though for me to strongly recommend.“

“This is a “hole in a wall” that makes some of the tastiest and least costly dim-sum anywhere. There is usually a short line waiting for service. Dim-Sum is freshly made daily. Great lunch specials: 2 steam table items plus fried rice or noodles or rice for less than $10. Also has a self serve freezer for customers to pick up extras for dinner at home.
Don’t expect a fancy ambience but good and inexpensive dim-sum. Worth the trip.“
