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.“

“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! 🇻🇳🍜“

“This ramen shop is my proud spot to take visiting friends in Palo Alto. It is hard to find good Asian food in Palo Alto with reasonable price. However, Ramen Nagi is so good that it is worth the bucks. I have tried all flavors and it is all delicious, including Veggie Ramen. Prepared to be full after slurping all the ramen! The line is very long so the trick is to get there before the shop opens. 15 minutes early should be good enough.

UPDATE 2026/6: Still very popular with a long line! I still finish the ramen to the very last drop :) The chicken karaage is also good but I am surprised that the boys don't like it that much. Anyway, just ramen itself is enough to check this place out.“

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

“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!“

“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 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“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!!!“

“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“

“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“

“The former Hunan Mifen location has transformed into a Yunnan-style restaurant called Miss Shang. I was happy to see that my favorites—the spicy beef bone noodles and wild mushroom rice—are still on the menu despite the change in concept.
On this visit, we ordered the Roasted Chicken Paella, which takes about 40 minutes to prepare, so ordering ahead is recommended. The rice was aromatic and packed with flavor from the chicken and morel mushrooms, while the chicken was tender and juicy.
A standout appetizer was the Yunnan-style crispy tofu. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and tossed with plenty of fresh herbs, it was both flavorful and refreshing. We also enjoyed the tomato soup with meatballs—the meatballs were fragrant, juicy, and pleasantly bouncy.
Don't skip dessert. The rice-flavored ice cream was creamy, chewy, and not too sweet, with a texture similar to gelato. The Pu-erh tea ice cream was equally delicious, with a rich tea flavor that came through beautifully.
Overall, Miss Shang offers a unique Yunnan dining experience with thoughtfully prepared dishes and memorable flavors.“

“Good food and fast service!“

“Am excellent place to eat. Service was attentive and the presentation of the dishes was great, especially the salads where the staff mixed ingredients in front of us prior to serving. It was great that a friend from Bruma picked the dishes as my family hadn't experienced brumese food before.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I recently started coming back again as they started their wine bar program. Food is always authentic and amazing but happy that they started opening later offering great wines for their wine bar. The owner even came by to offer some amazing wines! One of the few places that is open late in Menlo to hang out in.“

“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!“

“Had braised beef noodle soup with their homemade flat noodles. Exceptional texture on both the beef and the noodles. The complimentary chili sauce added a lot to it, it was very fragrant and not too spicy. I finished all of the broth, which is something that I rarely do. That was really damn good broth.“

“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“

“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.“

“Came here for the stinky tofu, and tried some of the other Taiwanese specialties... The fried green beans was a stand out, and the garlic cucumbers was very fresh. Also ordered the stewed pork bento box, which was their version of Taiwanese stewed minced pork over rice, which was served with a stewed whole egg, boiled bok choy, some yellow oshinko.... The crab pork soup dumplings were gigantic, about twice the size of the soup dumplings at DinTaiFung, but couldn't quite match up to it's famous brethren in terms of quality of ingredients. Then again, you're paying less than 1/2 the cost. Service was friendly and quick.... Finally, the stinky tofu wasn't that stinky... But did meet the expectations.... Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and not greasy at all. Would I come back? Yes“

“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.“

“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%“

“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“

“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.“

“good place to dine and very clean“

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

“This place is similar to the one in Cupertino. Their menu is exactly the same. The Cupertino location is much bigger and don't feel as cramp. Seating in Cupertino location is definitely more spacious.

In this location, since it's smaller, the tables are very close to each other. You can hear next table's conversation. There is no privacy. Be careful what you say during meal.

The Chiu Chow Duck, Hainan Chicken, the noodle soup and Brined Tofu dishes taste exactly the same as the Cupertino location.

Both the Chiu Chow Duck and the Hainan Chicken are their signature dishes. They are both excellent and are must-haves.

The Brined Tofu is good too. Outside is crunchy and inside is soft. Recommend eating this as soon as it comes to your table, or outside crunchy skin becomes soggy.

One interesting difference is this location has Braised Pork Knuckle in the menu while this dish isn't available in Cupertino. We tried it and it's excellent. The pork knuckles are tender and flavorful.

The Wood Ear Mushroom salad is very disappointing. It's almost tasteless and the flavor is super weak. The one in Cupertino taste much better with stronger flavor.

Despite we came for late dinner, we had to wait a little bit for a table. Once you are seated and after food is ordered, food came out fast.“

“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.“

“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.“

“😋😋 good eating experience“

“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“

“This is my Vietnamese place (favorite) to go! Food is delicious!
I always order the #16 (pho) my son fried rice/shrimp and spring rolls
I like how nice they’re as well, they have people who speak spanish as well
I have been coming here since 2014 and I hope to be able to never stop coming to enjoy this amazing tasty food“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Pleasant hot pot spot where you pick the ingredients that you want and the staff make a soup with it. Portions are generous — you get a lot of broth! Kitchen staff works very quickly and the wait is short. There's lots of seafood, meat and veggie options. As someone who doesn't eat any seafood, I can still pile up a whole plate for myself while the person I'm with gets a whole plate of just seafood. Everything is steamed. Even after a full meal, your stomach doesn't feel heavy.“
