The Flaming Ox is a modern and sleek restaurant that serves authentic Taiwanese cuisine. The menu features flavorful dishes, including the popular Mala Beef Noodle Soup, which can be customized to one's preferred spice level. The broth is rich and flavorful, and the meat portion is generous. Vegetarian options, such as the Vegan "DanDan" noodle, are also available for non-meat eaters. The restaurant offers a variety of side dishes, including green onion pancakes, popcorn chicken, and salads, all of which are delicious and come in small portions. The Fried Pork Chop is a standout, crispy and flavorful, complementing the Mala Beef Noodle Soup perfectly. The service is welcoming, and the clean, modern atmosphere creates a home-cooked meal vibe. The restaurant is praised for its delicious Mala Beef Noodle Soup and Pork Belly Rice, with the spice level and portion size being highlights. However, some customers have noted that the quality can be inconsistent, with the food tasting bland on certain occasions. Overall, the Flaming Ox offers a revitalization of Taiwanese cuisine in the North San Jose area, providing a great spot for a casual dinner or lunch.
