Excellent meat and sublime tendon! Delightful broth, noodles, and veg. Absolutely incredible and worth the try for your own opinion.

Really delicious soup and pork belly rice. I would definitely come back. The spicy Mala Vida bone broth soup had a unique heat that burned both the back and front of my tongue. It was so delicious I could barely stop to breathe. The beef was fall apart tender, and the veggies were cooked but still crunchy and refreshing. Everything comes out from the kitchen very quickly due to the smaller menu, so there wasn't much wait. Thanks for a great meal!

The mala beef soup I ordered was pretty good, full of flavor, not too spicy to me though. The thick noodle string is chewy which is what I like. My friend ordered the bone broth soup, not the traditional one though but it’s not so good, the broth was kinda bland. The meat portion is quite small, if you want more meat, you need to order extra. I still think it’s worth trying though

We drove 40 minutes to this place 2 times in the past month, and each time got serious satisfaction out of the delicious food here. Strangely yesterday when we came back again, the food tasted rather bland and felt as if a substitute chef was working that day. Providing feedback here in the hope that Flaming Ox can maintain its super high-standard, high-quality Taiwanese food that I feel like has been missing in the Bay Area for a long time!

This Taiwanese restaurant is pretty good. The vibe is like a casual café, nothing fancy, but very comfortable. The staff are very nice and friendly. We ordered traditional beef noodles with half tendon and half beef. The tendon and beef were very very tender and delicious. We ordered the thick noodles option but felt they tasted like they started as boxed dry noodles. They didn't seem chewy or starchy enough like the really good beef noodles in Taipei. The soup was pretty tasty but was simple in flavor and lacked the delicious complexity of aromatics I remember from Taiwan. We also ordered the cold tofu with century egg side dish. That was spot on, really delicious. If you want to save a couple bucks, check out their happy hour times on their web site.

The food here is great! I especially like their thick noodle beef noodle soup.
Found this place from BILT neighborhood dining. We got the popcorn chicken, mala noodles, and the regular noodles.
The popcorn chicken is not bad but portion is kind of small for the price. Bowl is a good size but I felt the mala is way too salty. The broth does taste good but that may be due to the special ingredient which I don’t mind. The thick noodles taste fresh and good. However it’s only one type of meat unless you pay extra. This lacks value compared to pho which I would take over Taiwanese noodles any time.

I was surprised by how much I would enjoy Flaming Ox! I really liked their Beef Noodle Soup as it reminded me of the one I ate in Taiwan. It's hardy, earthy, umami, and they do not skip on meat here. The star was their refreshing cold sesame noodles. Super light and tasty. The sesame sauce was nutty and flavorful. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. Would highly reccomend!

The food itself is three stars. You can add one point by visiting the nearby Taiwanese store.

It’s rare to see a place kept this clean. The food was okay not bad but nothing to wow about. The service was on point. Whats amazing is that they actually service filtered water, not tap water. I was going to post a photo but I ate it all…
Vegetarian options: There a few cold dishes and a noodle
Kid-friendliness: I bought a 2 year old it was good.
