Pleasantly surprised! Great to have an authentic Taiwanese spot nearby, will come again.
Really delicious! We like it. Will revisit!
Came here for lunch on a Saturday and it was busy but still managed to get sat right away. They have Yelp check in so would highly recommend doing that in advance.
The food came quickly.
Summer Chilled Noodle: This had chicken from the protein and came with a side of chili oil and sesame sauce. It was delicious and refreshing with a mix of flavors that worked very well together. Noodles had the perfect al dente texture, but was still bouncy and clung to the sauce.

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.
