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.“

“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.“

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

“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 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“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!!“

“Very yummy experience - would recommend the beef noodle soup, onion and egg pancake, and cucumber salad. Noodle portions are huge and food comes out quickly. We went on a Saturday at noon and were seated immediately, ladies serving us were very sweet. Note that it’s cash only. Highly recommend, we will be back!“

“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!“

“Absolutely loved this place! The food was delicious, the service was incredibly efficient, and the restaurant was spotless. Even though we had to wait a bit, it was completely worth it. Every dish we tried was amazing. You can really tell they take pride in what they do. Highly recommend if you’re in San Francisco and craving great Chinese food!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Very good pho. The pho broth was very flavorful even before I added the herbs. The noodles were all broken apart, but not too bad. We also tried the fried wings with fish sauce. It's sweet, crunchy, and tasty, but the wings were kinda small.“

“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.“

“What a great find! Generous portions, friendly and cheerful service, fairly quick service, and very, very reasonably priced! The salt-pepper prawns were large and perfectly crisp. Dumplings were large and full of filling. Dry green beans were a hit with the teens and my husband! And pan-fried noodles had plenty of beef and vegetables. Will definitely return to this restaurant the next time we visit SF.“

“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.“

“January 2026:
Ordered food to go through Uber Eats. First time trying this place. Was very pleased with my lunch.

Had the chicken pho and the soup was very tasty 😋. Good combo of noodles and chicken.

Also had the chicken cabbage salad and thought it was delicious. Would order that again.

Also tasted the papaya shrimp salad and the tofu banh mi. Both were good. Will definitely come back again. Will try dining in next time.“

“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“

“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.“

“👍👍🍜🍜 good Udon place in SFO 👍👍“

“Very good! Loved getting the peanuts and cabbage salad as we sat down.

The best:
- pork and chive dumplings
- spicy wontons

Good:
- ground pork and tofu golden soup
- bbq steam buns

Underwhelming:
- cucumber salad. Normally I love this dish, but the flavor of the sesame oil and garlic did not come through on the cucumber. It tasted like the cucumbers were plated immediately after being crushed and chopped instead of getting some salt and 5-10 minutes of rest.“

“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!“

“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“

“Awesome! My family enjoyed it“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“Been looking for a place to get pho without risk of gluten and this is the place. Friendly, clean, all wearing masks, food packaged perfectly for takeout.“

“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.“

“Fairly new restaurant on the north end of downtown San Mateo. It got pretty busy Saturday at noon, but I was able to snag a counter seat. They have a frozen dumpling section so of course I had to buy some wontons to go. They were understaffed though - the poor lady looked so flustered and had to deal with 5 things at once. You have to head backto pay, and I ended up waiting a while before someone checked us out. I would come back though, many more items to try.

Dandan Noodle - not bad at all! hot sauce would make it better

Popcorn chicken - could use some sauce but was somehow addicting“

“😋😋 good eating experience“

“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!“
