The restaurant went through an ownership change 2 years ago. This is my first time coming back after the change. We came in for a late lunch and were glad to find seating right away. I remember there was a wait list each time we came during prime time lunch or dinner. We’ve sampled a few dumplings dishes, the tam tam noodles, and my staple pickled vegetable soup with hand-pulled noodles and chicken. The dumplings and noodle soup hit the spot and were very good. The tam tam noodles were not as good as we had expected-although the noodles are chewy, the sauce lack depth and needed more seasoning. We will come back again when in the neighborhood.
Excellent dumplings, broccoli/beef, and fried rice. Couldn’t handle the Spicy orange sauce though but it was good.

$17 for this? This is 1/3 of what it used to be. (I mean the sauce)

I don’t know if the owner is on the edge of going broke or what, but I used to be a fan of the Tomato Egg Noodles here. This time the sauce portion was only about 1/3 of what it used to be. I called and they told me that’s how it usually is. Fine

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!

The textures of everything we ordered is what stood out about King of Noodles. Plus their house hot sauce too!
We ordered the cucumbers, the lamb and cabbage dumplings, the XO noodles with chicken, and the Dan Dan noodles - figuring to try a variety.
For the Dan Dan noodles: remember to mix it! The minced meat was deliciously flavorful.
For the XO noodles, their flat wider noodles were nicely chewy while being oily but not egregious like at some other places.
The cucumbers are familiar to fans of cold sauces cucumbers like from Din Tai Feng or Sichuan restaurants: a garlicky, cool, sweet-savory flavor with a nice smooth crunch.
And the dumplings impressed me with the texture of their skin. Chewy without being overly thick.
The house hot sauce is nice. It reminds me of habanero-type sauces but thankfully not like the vinegar-heavy types. I tasted an initial light heat and strong flavor, but the intensity of the heat actually builds as you eat more of it until your tongue is suddenly burning and your face starting to break a sweat!
All in all, we really liked it and would come again. Thanks!

Noodles were lovely and hand pulled, but the broth itself could’ve been more flavorful and the ingredients more generous.
