Noodles near San Carlos, CA

“food and service is superb! number 1“

“IMO the best chinese food place in downtown San Carlos - their sizzling rice soup, and sizzling eggplant vegetables are 😋. You can also do a Bubble tea takeout - do try their Mango yakult (no caffeine) and Thai iced tea. Staff is friendly.“

“I don't venture out to San Carlos that much, but I was happy to try this Korean-Chinese restaurant! It was nice to find out that there were exclusive dishes that can ONLY be ordered at this location, so we made sure to order at least one of those items.

My favorites were the Jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup) and the Meat Jajangmyeon (black bean sauce noodles). Both had very different flavors, but still comforting. The seafood soup had a nice kick to it, but was perfect on that cold night we went. Noodle texture here is also pretty close to perfect with just enough bounce to them.

What we ordered:
* Chili Shrimp
* Black Pepper Beef (only available at this location!)
* Jjamppong
* Meat Jajangmyeon
* Garlic Soy Chicken Wings (10pc)“

“As a Vietnamese person, I can say the pho here tastes very authentic. The broth is flavorful, the ingredients are fresh, and the portions are generous. Friendly service and great value. Definitely one of the better pho spots in the area! 🇻🇳🍜“

“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 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“Good food and fast service!“

“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.“

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

“A solid local spot in Millbrae! We were staying near SFO for the Super Bowl, and needed a quick option after being in the city. Food was quick to prepare, and the portions were also plentiful. The food was also quite affordable for the price point. We recommend!“

“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!“

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

“Excellent, creative dishes! Good service!! 10 stars!!!“

“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.“

“Many promotions going on, they have eat for under $10 and I was more than full. Also they have a gift card deal and more discounts when leaving a review that I am taking advantage of! This place is very well priced and you can tell everything is fresh. I saw the girl cutting up all the vegetables from scratch. Very honorable place, really liked the kake, similar to miso soup in my opinion“

“Burma Spice is a Burmese restaurant on El Camino Real in Redwood City. It is situated in a busy strip mall, making parking tight. They have outdoor seating. The food was better than expected and service was solid. Good choice for trying Burmese food on the Peninsula.

Safety Pluses - Online menu, Outdoor seating, Delivery services available, online ordering.

Food Review:
Tea Leaf Salad ($19.99) Romaine lettuce, fried yellow beans, garlic chips, sesame & sunflower seeds, peanuts, tomatoes and jalapenos all tossed with fermented green tea leaf dressing was mixed up tableside. Nice version with good ingredients, a moderate dressing and not much spice. 9/10

Burma House Noodle ($19.99) Rice noodle with red bell peppers, onions, cabbage and egg, with crushed peanuts & lemon on the side is on the sweet side. Less noodles than expected, still an enjoyable dish. 8.5/10

Overall - Very Good
Food - Very Good
Decor - Good
Service - Good
Value - Very Good

Would we come back - Yes“

“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!“

“😋😋 good eating experience“

“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“

“I visited Sushi House twice during the BTS concert at Stanford Stadium. The staff was friendly, especially my server, though I unfortunately didn’t catch his name. He gave me great advice on what to order, and the portions were generous! I ate half of my order for lunch and took the other half home for dinner. I’ll definitely return to Sushi House if I visit the US again and am in the area. Thanks, Sushi House! 🙏🏼“

“Went with a group of 10+ people for a weekday lunch in this restaurant. As a start, we ordered the popular Chinese tea smoked duck and the honey walnut shrimp among others (spicy dishes were mostly avoided as most of us are not comfortable with eating spicy stuff). Service provided was impeccable and the restaurant atmosphere was also nice and quiet. However, the quality of the dishes did not quite match the other two areas mentioned above. Besides the smoked duck dish that was great, the consensus among some of us at my table was that the dishes were a bit too salty and oily. Also, the portion sizes that came with the meat dishes being served were barely sufficient for our table of 8-9 people (did not get feedback from the other table occupants). Nevertheless, the manager prepared a special fish dish that was not found on the menu along with some cultural explanation associated with eating this fish dish which left a favorable impression among the group of us. Thus, this helped to bump up the rating for the standard of the food being served.“

“Udon Mugizo is still a trustworthy place for udon. The tonkotsu one is still the best with perfectly cooked eggs and all the assortments on top. Somehow the appetizers like chicken karaage is not as good as before/ other branches. What I like about this branch compared to others is more relaxing vibe around the bar area. It would be really cool to serve the food across the bar rather than on the side though lol. Despite comments here and there, it is still a good place that I would come for udon over other chains.“

“look for the 3 item specials but also the cho chow mein, Mongolian beef and beef noodle soup are all really good. fast service and friendly.“

“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!“

“Solid lunch place! Came because I wanted to try Ox9 but didnt want to drive so far. I tried their traditional hand pulled noodle / beef combo with cucumber salad and lamb skewers. Well worth my $20. You can choose your spice level and pick from a variety of noodles. I went for spicy and wide flat noodles. Probably too much chew for me, but I wasn't mad at it. My husband tried the beef stew with rice noodle and that was probably more to my taste. It reminded me of shin ramen and this chinese mustard green / pickled veggie soup that I like. Pleasantly surprised by everything and would add this place in our rotation of restaurants. Its not fancy but its tasty.“

“Friendly staff. Fast order.“

“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.“

“actually an amazing place. HOW IS IT NOT MORE POPULAR.

the food is BOMB. the lady there is so sweet and helped me on a mandarin project freshman year of hs. love her so much. she is bilingual speaking both english and chinese 服务员可以说英文和中文。

the atmosphere is really chill but is still restaurant vibes it’s great for when i want to go with my friends

also SO AFFORDABLE (especially in comparison to the rest of downtown los altos)

WOULD RECOMMEND 1000%“

“Hand-pulled pan-fried noodles is one of my favorite dishes. I get it at every restaurant that sells it. This restaurant had the best version of that dish I have ever had, by a considerable margin. I have never written a google restaurant review before, but the food was so good that it motivated me to write one.

It was like every ingredient was the best version of that ingredient and all the ingredients were all put together into one symphony of flavor. I was reminded of the first time I heard the Beatles.“

“Vegetable fried dumplings, soy sauce noodles, and green onion pancakes were all incredibly good. Staff was supremely helpful, kind, and personable. Highly recommend!“

“This is a good old Cantonese place. It has been my family go to back in the days. Now a day, they don't have that much business. We do stop by ever so often to get our OG food fixes in. Some of their servers is a bit rude, but don't mind them. This is just how they work.“

“Absolutely awesome food!!!! My favourite Thai restaurant on the Sunshine Coast!!!! Delicious food!!!“

“Everything so tasty. Chicken karage and butakakuni tasked so good.“

“Delicious food and great service. We love many dishes from this restaurant“

“good place to dine and very clean“

“Found this when I look for Korean restaurant that serve noodle soup. This restaurant is next to hospital which I think in a good location. Next to it is boba shop which I saw some customer went to the the boba shop after their meals.
The interior is very simple, with couple tables and the dishes photo all over the wall which looks inviting.
The menu is pretty complete with many varieties of Korean dishes. We order Spicy Seafood noodle soup and Stir fried noodles with black bean sauce.
They give 3 type of banchan, daikon, beansprout and kimchi. The kimchi is sweet and later I saw it is from a big jar that you can get from grocery store. I wish they make it fresh in the restaurant. At least if have it from jar, don't show the jar.
The noddle soup is yummy but not spicy. the Stir fried noodle is served with hot iron plate. the presentation is good but I just feel it is too sweet.
The server is very nice and very energetic. Only one server serves all the tables.
Overall it was ok meals. May be next time we will try other dishes and wish they make the kimchi in house.“

“Always fresh and fantastic! The guys who work there are always friendly and nice, as well!“

“Ate some delicious vegetarian food here (though not an exclusively vegetarian restaurant fyi) - the vegan dumplings and the vegetarian sesame oil noodles were amazing and hit the spot!! Putting Zen Noodles on my “tried and true” list of local restaurants.“

“Pretty good. I've been to teriyaki madness a bunch in Las Vegas and I feel like there used to be more tofu in my junior bowl. I also think that the teriyaki sauce has been a bit watered down unfortunately. It's definitely more expensive than in Vegas.... Five more dollars a bowl.“

“Excellent HK style Cafe food. Rare to find this kind of attention and preparation these days. Best Baked Pork Chop over Rice in the SF Bay Area!“

“Food was good overall, opened pretty early and was serving breakfast menus which was pretty nice. For the breakfast menus sometime you might not seem on the table which it happened just make sure you check out the entrance window for an good breakfast deal“

“Free parking lot right in front 🚗

No fancy decor, just straight-up authentic. This is exactly why they’ve survived 20 years ！

Beef & Green Onion Pie (4 huge pieces)
Freshly wrapped & pan-fried, insane juice explosion in every bite. Super thin crispy skin, loaded with beef and scallions.
• Smoked Chicken (“Da Xun Zi” in Dongbei slang)
Whole chicken slow-smoked for 12 hours. Meat falls off the bone, smoky but not overwhelming. Eat it cold or dip in hot soup – pure heaven. Owner says “finish the chicken, then knock back two shots of baijiu”… I obeyed 😂
• Scallion Beef
More scallion than beef (not exaggerating), perfectly tender beef, killer over rice.
• Savory Dongbei Doufunao (tofu pudding)
Rich bone broth, dried shrimp, preserved veggies, cilantro – warms your soul in winter.“

“I always get good food and great service. Take out or dine in .“

“Good food. Definitely recommended.“

“It was great delivering here. Every one was nice and prompt. They loaded me immediately. The only reason I gave four stars is because it's tight and crowded. When I was done being loaded I had to wait for the truck in front of me to get loaded, since there's no room to maneuver. I entered in by the sign toward door suite 22, and went around the building to the back to door thirteen. This way I was at the right angle to get loaded and leave.“

“I had to go to the Richmond District today and I knew farmers market was happening. I told myself to just get a snack because I need to fit into a dress for the two holiday parties I'm going to on Thursday. Within 10ft of entering farmers market, I saw Kunugi Noodles's booth that had a picture of Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. So naturally I didn't listen to myself and ordered one lol!The owner was working by himself so it was a wait. But the okonomiyaki was worth it, especially because Hiroshima-style is hard to find in the city.It wasn't exactly Hiroshima-style because the crepe batter was mixed with the cabbage and the egg was pre-made (a fried egg instead of it being shaped like a crepe). But working in an outdoor kitchen has limitations and cooking it that way was the way to do it in this situation. It was delicious nonetheless!The cabbage/crepe pancake is where the seafood was. There were pieces of shrimp and squid that gave it a chewiness against the softness of the crepe batter. The cabbage added a smokiness. The yakisoba noodles were yummy and maintained a slightly firm texture from being fried. I also liked the amount of Bonita flakes added. It was just right to add more seafood flavor.The owner was really nice! Even though he was clearly busy working on his own, we conversed a little on our travels to Japan.I know this page says his location is at a farmers market elsewhere and I don't know how often he's at Clement Street's farmers market. But wherever you go, if you see his booth, check it out!“

“This is probably one of the best pho spots along the peninsula. This review is for a to-go order for the Pho Tai. The broth is perfectly light and not on the sweeter side like some other spots. The actual quality of the rare steak and other ingredients were really good. I highly recommend this spot if youre looking for a quick pho fix if you're near Redwood City. (Parking can be a little hard)“

“Great food and service. Always a good experience.“

“Food is made fast but you might wait for a table during the rush hour. They don't offer many options for sauces but still is good. Although there are many people inside, it doesn't take too long to find an open table. I like how they utilized the screen to show when your food is ready so you don't need to hear workers screaming the order number. Tried seschzwan spicy hot pot and it was really good 😋“

“They have a total of seven different kinds of gluten free dumplings (four with meat or seafood, and three vegetarian ones). Having so many gluten free dumpling options is almost unheard of. We ordered all of them and were very impressed. Tasty, generous portions and clean feeling because of the water-based cooking.“

“Our family enjoys eating at Naked Fish in Millbrae. Their sushi rolls and bento boxes are always delicious. There are many options to choose from between the menu and their daily specials. Their food is presented well and amply portioned. Their service is consistently good and the servers are attentive. Whether we eat a late lunch or dinner with family and friends, we always leave this place full and content.My only criticism of this place is the location. Because the gym is directly above it, more specifically, the weight room, you can hear the weights dropping on the floor on certain occasions and it’s distracting. However, because we enjoy eating here more than anything else, we tolerate the noise on the few instances it’s happened.There is ample parking around, both on the street and in the parking lot next to it.Overall, I recommend you try this restaurant if you’re in the neighborhood.“
