Noodles near San Carlos, CA

“food and service is superb! number 1“

“Super comfortable and nice place to dine in! The people are super nice and our meal was so delicious! They have a lot of vegetarian options to select from. We really enjoyed our whole meal, from the crispy rice soup—so yum to the onion pancakes, the sizzling tofu dish and hot tea! Thank you so much!! We look forward to coming back again and bringing some friends too :)!“

“Family friendly spot with delicious food that arrives fairly quickly. It's surprisingly affordable given how comfortable the restaurant seating is. I love getting the small side dish of jampong (red soup) since I can't finish the entree version myself. Also a great spot for groups since the dining area is really large. We always get the Jajangmyeung, Jamppong (spicy soup), and the fried pork or chicken.“

“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! 🇻🇳🍜“

“Oh my friends, this is the spot for amazing Ramen! I went all the way across the country for an accompanied business trip and was told I could not come to Palo Alto California and not stop in to Ramen Nagi. Every minute of waiting in line was worth it for your food. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the amazing experience! I'll miss you.“

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

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

“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 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“1st time food was very good along with service. We had the tangy beef soup, generous noodle portion, broth ;deep, rich flavorful. Only minor criticism is that there may be too much lemongrass (?) or aromatic herb for my liking but very minor. We also had the pork belly rice plate, also very delicious good portion and I like that the pork belly was chopped into smaller pieces. Very nice meal. Service was excellent. My major complaint is that they added 18% service charge automatically and it is not stated anywhere. You can tell from review we enjoyed very much and it should be up to customer to decide on gratuity. We may have tipped 20% so they may have hurt themselves. I don’t like this policy and with so many other restaurants to go to, it may be a while before I come back.“

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

“Giving 5 stars for their free drink.

ordered the duck and mushroom soup, pan fried buns, and their combo D which included wonton soup and noodles with peanut sauce

duck and mushroom soup was the worst thing we ordered. $10 for a tiny pot the height of a toilet paper roll, but narrower and with thick walls. would recommend to those who like stringy and still half dried mushrooms.

the pan fried buns were good, though they were on the oilier side. very fragrant, and tasted delicious with their vinegar.

the wonton soup was the best out of everything ordered and tasted quite delicious, but the wontons themselves were low quality—they were small, which is fine, but the filling tasted like fish balls and not actual meat.

the noodles were a bit disappointing. they were soggy and the sauce was probably something you could make at home with peanut butter, soy sauce, and sesame oil. their menu says that the pictures are for reference only, and that's very true. the noodles looked completely different from the picture on their menu, whether it was portion size, color, or even noodle shape.

they had complimentary side dishes and the spicy tofu skin was great. nobody told us they were available, though, and we found out when we were going to use the restroom.

true rating is overall 3 stars, not great or incredibly authentic, but also not the worst“

“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!“

“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“

“Good food and fast service!“

“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!“

“We love Burmese food. For years, if we wanted Burmese food, we would have to drive at least 30-40 min to SF or South Bay, so having Burma Spice in our neighborhood is a dream come true!

Burma Spice hosted our daughter's high school graduation luncheon on May 23rd and we couldn't have been happier! We had about 30 guests in a separate area in the back of the restaurant. Kham and Raymond were so nice and helpful in planning the menu for our gathering.

Everything was served family style. We ordered
- Tea Leaf Salad- the perfect ratio of fermented tea leaves and ingrediants.
- Samosas- light, crispy, and so flavorful
- Nan Gyi Thoke- the noodles were perfectly cooked, not mushy, and the curry was creamy and delightful.
- Basil Lemongrass Chicken- fresh basil, and lemongrass really made this dish a popular topic.
- Pumpkin Veggie- Nice ratio of pumpkin and other veggies, very hearty.
- Kebat Lamb- savory, packed full of rich spices, the onions add so much texture and flavor as well.
- Jasmine Rice

Plus plenty of yummy tropical cocktails for the adults.

They set up a little table for the cake, and some graduation items that we brought. They really went out of their way to make our celebration comfortable.

Everything was in generous portions, fresh and expertly prepared. My guests raved about the food and service. Some of my guests had never tried Burmese food before and now in their meal rotation.

We didn't realize that we had stretched into their rest period between lunch and dinner because they were so gracious about not rushing us.

I highly recommend Burma Spice in Redwood City for any meal or occasion. The restaurant is such a gem in our neighborhood and the service is friendly.“

“Great sushi! My favorite is the crunchy spicy tuna roll. The staff is so incredibly friendly, kind and professional. They always provide great recommendations on which sushi to try. The service is quick and the food is incredibly tasty. Such a wonderful gem in the Palo Alto area!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I cannot stress enough how good the food is here. New favorite spot! The city roll is their favorite item on their menu and was so good I went two days in a row just to eat this roll. Absolutely going to be first on my list next time I am in town. Also very friendly staff and great atmosphere but the food is the superstar here. Wish there was a six star ranking for this place.“

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

“Friendly staff. Fast order.“

“I’m not usually in the San Mateo area, but I happened to be nearby with a friend for some tech-related work and decided to place an online order from Udon Mugizo for the first time. It was a Saturday and the restaurant was clearly very busy, so I expected the pickup to take a while, but everything was ready smoothly and the person who helped me, possibly the manager, was genuinely kind and attentive even with so much going on. I was honestly impressed by the quality of the food too. Everything tasted fresh, carefully prepared, and much better than I normally expect from an online order. The whole experience, from the pickup service to the food itself, was excellent. I don’t come to this area often, but I would definitely order from here again the next time I’m nearby“

“More of a restaurant for individual meals than for family style. Prices are quite high for some more simple dishes like $20 for string beans is a little steep. I also found it weird that their Dandan noodles were hot.

Their bento boxes and beef noodle soup look good though, and I'll definitely try those in the future.“

“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.“

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

“I had eaten at this Peking-style cuisine before when I was in the Bay Area, and this time I came back after they had moved to a bigger location. The owner is quite young, but you can tell he really cares about the food and the customers. He was very patient and explained the dishes to us in detail.

What impressed me most is that the food feels very authentic. The owner told us that his father started cooking at a very young age in China, and many of the dishes here are based on his father’s long-time recipes and experience. You can really taste that kind of traditional Beijing flavor.

Their smoked chicken is definitely one of the signature dishes. It is not something you can easily find at many other restaurants, and it was very well done, flavorful but not too salty. The owner said they specially source smaller young chickens from a farm for this dish, and it is a recipe his father has been making for many years. I highly recommend trying it.

The pork trotters were also excellent — fresh, tender, and not overly salty. The lamb dishes and other Beijing-style dishes were very solid as well. Overall, I feel like this is the kind of place where it is hard to order wrong if you like authentic northern Chinese or Beijing food.

The location is not super obvious from the outside, but they have parking in the lot, so that makes things much easier. It also feels like many customers are regulars who already know this place.“

“I have tried this restaurant when they first opened and visited few times after that, enjoyed it every time.

We visited again today with our hiking group with someone who knows how to ordered with a group setting, we ordered half Hainan Chicken, half House Special Duck, two bowls of Hainan Steamed Rice, two bowls of Rice Noodles in Chicken Broth and one of their House Special Fried Tofu.

There was five of us in our group and we have left over enough for one more person to take home.

The price was beyond reasonable, it costed less than going to Fast Food chains.

Everything tasted fresh & delicious, especially their Hainan Chicken, I would say is the BEST in the Bay Area.

Service was attentive, the food came out fast, they were 90% full when we were there.

The dining area is clean even the restroom, keep in mind this is a family operated establishment, but is kept in a very professional manner.

Since retiring from owned & operated restaurants my whole life, I felt compelled to give them a Review that they so well deserved.

Keep up the good works and you will arrive to be the very Best.
My Best Wishes to you!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Got the hand pulled noodle; wide and spicy. Noodles were perfect! Spicy is “American spicy” so not as hot as what you’d get in mainland China but flavor was good. I think it could have a bit more sesame tho

Solid dish. Good price overall. I want to try the lamb chops next time“

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

“Had a delicious lunch with 1 family member & his visiting friend today. We all enjoyed the dishes that the only photos I took were desserts consisting of the classic sesame balls (bigger than anywhere else I’ve eaten) & the black sesame mochi in peanut crumble (only place I’ve seen).

The portion is generous on the mentioned desserts above & the mushrooms dumplings.

The only thing I dislike in Chinese restaurants in general is the WHITE RICE that I mistakenly ordered 2 bowls which I should have refused.

Japanese white rice still reigns supreme in my book.

A few attentive waiters served our table which I preferred, vs 1 designated server, which means we could call on any available waiter for assistance.

We could only ordered so much for 3 diners, so there are more reasons to go back to enjoy other dishes.

Prices are on the higher side due to @ the DT location.

PS — Parking in residential streets a few blocks away, for 2 hours at-a-time… Doesn’t DT want people to stay longer?“

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

“Good food. Definitely recommended.“

“good place to dine and very clean“

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

“Absolutely delicious Vietnamese food! A hidden gem in a small town, with a great atmosphere, generous flavors, and very affordable prices. It’s easy to see why so many people come here. Places like this deserve recognition for serving such amazing food at a great value. Highly recommend!“

“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%“

“First time trying Laka! I was really craving Hainan chicken, so I ordered half a roasted pork and half a Hainan chicken to go. Overall, the food was really good, and I’ll definitely be back! The gentleman who carved the roasted pork was also very kind, which I appreciated.

Just a heads-up for first-timers: the minimum order for roasted pork is half a pound, so you can’t order just a quarter pound. ( in case u try to order for 1 )

My only real complaint is the ginger sauce. For half a chicken, they only provided one container, which I felt wasn’t enough. When I asked for an extra one, I was told it would cost $1. Honestly, I think 50 cents would be more reasonable for a small container of sauce, especially when you’re already ordering a meal to go. I had also left a tip on my takeout order, so being charged another dollar for extra ginger sauce felt a little disappointing.

The food is delicious, and the service was kind for the butcher, the lady could have been more kinder but I wish they were a little more generous with the ginger sauce or included at least two containers with half a chicken. It’s a small detail, but it would make the takeout experience so much better! Total cost $32 takeout“

“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.“

“Teriyaki Madness - Redwood City, 875 Middlefield Rd

I keep coming back to Teriyaki Madness in Redwood City for a reason. The staff are consistently friendly and genuinely accommodating, making every visit feel welcome. Service is reliable and attentive—always quick, with a smile, and ready to help with any customization or questions about the menu. The quality of the dishes remains high: flavorful, generously portioned, and easy to customize to my taste. If you’re in the area and craving a dependable, satisfying teriyaki meal, this spot is a great choice.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Shanghainese cooking on East 3rd in San Mateo, small and family run. The pan fried pork buns are the order, and the spicy wontons and the dan dan noodles back them up. The chilled cucumber with chili oil is a good starter while you wait. Split hours, lunch until three then dinner from five, and closed Tuesdays. No alcohol. Thank you for the cooking. Five stars.“

“This is definitely one of the best places to enjoy a meal in downtown San Mateo! I absolutely love the concept of being able to customize your own meal—the idea is brilliant!

I also really appreciate that they offer different spice levels. I chose the mild level, and it was absolutely perfect for my taste. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious!

And the atmosphere is just as impressive as the food. The restaurant has such a luxurious and beautiful interior, with amazing attention to detail. ✨

Definitely a must-try if you’re in downtown San Mateo! 💚“

“I was hesitant to try because of the reviews, but it’s actually so good! I will be coming back. If you like soup, the original pork bone soup is amazing! The golden hot and sour soup makes the ingredients delicious but the soup itself is not really for eating directly. The restaurant interior is bright and clean, but nothing fancy. Be expected to seat yourself and order through the QR code on your table. Honestly really good for a casual weekday meal“

“Yummy food! Well made! Udon is awesome!“

“A Peninsula standby for Cantonese roast meats and dim sum in Belmont. The barbecue pork and roast duck over rice are the orders, the dim sum list runs from siu mai to xiao long bao, and the combo plates stay generous for the price. Open daily through dinner, with a second shop now in San Mateo. Thank you for feeding the neighborhood right. Five stars.“
