Noodles near San Leandro, CA

“The best XLB I ever had. The thickness of the exterior dumpling that holds the delicious pork soup mixture inside is the perfect balance where you can gently and carefully pull it apart from the parchment paper it sits upon without tearing and spilling everywhere, and it is not too soft, not too hard, but perfect. Only someone with a masterful and skilled hand could have done this, and the Chef takes confidence and pride in their dumplings, looking through the glass to see our reaction of that first bite, eagerly awaiting for the joy inside to let loose into a smile and a laugh. I pray that this place never goes out of business. The staff was friendly enough, the environment was clean enough, the decor was cute and simple, there is one restroom, very well stocked and clean, and smells kind of like the very first Yugioh starter pack kit, back when it was just Yugi and Kaiba starter decks. I also had a refreshing berry drink that was worth it. We got XLB classic and crab, pan fried soup dumpling, and the very delicious fresh pea leaves which was worth it's price fully in satisfaction of flavor, vibrantness, and freshness. The flavor of their vinegar and chilli was also not cheap or lacking, but very good in spice level and flavor and vinegariness, which isn't a word, I know, but like come on. This place is so so so good. I need to go again.“

“Great place to have a hot noodle soup. Their special rice noodle dishes are the bomb.
They have complementary hot water and hot tea that is self serving. Plenty of room for seating and also very clean. Mostly no waiting time. Plenty of parking“

“Part of the ten seconds noodles chain. Food is good and like the ones in other ten seconds noodles place.

It would be great if they can allow us choose soup base+ protein. I know it’s a very American dining concept but can certain provide more flexibility.“

“good soup, portion and taste“

“The best Phở in California!“

“I had a really great experience here! The petite young woman working inside was incredibly kind, attentive, and hardworking. She had a wonderful attitude and was very patient and friendly, especially toward elderly customers. She was always willing to help others and made everyone feel welcome. She is truly beautiful inside and out!

Highly recommend this place to everyone!“

“Try the beef tongue“

“I got the duck last time and was seriously disappointed. Got the tenpura one this time and completely different story. Flavor is incredible especially with the chili flakes they give you. The wasabi salt is a great dipper for the tempura! Now we are hooked!“

“We brought our friend here to celebrate his birthday because we wanted to gift an experience. We saw you featured on Check Please . . . And you guys WOW’d us beyond our expectations!! Amazing staff! And amazing food . . And yes, amazing cocktails!! Down to the last finishing touches ! We will definitely be back !“

“Coming from the San Gabriel Valley, which has plenty of Sichuan food, I’m always on the hunt for good Sichuan places in East Bay. Of which, there aren’t that many.

I was pleasantly surprised by the food at Mr. Liu Noodle House.

The noodles in the Beef Noodle Soup were bouncy, and the broth was wonderfully fragrant and savory. It had just the right amount of flavor and salt.

Their chengdu dumplings are delicious as well. Nice homemade wrappers with a chew to them, in a fragrant balanced chili oil. Just the right amount of Sichuan peppercorn.

The blistered green beans had a nice wok hei to them, and packed a salty punch from the pickled vegetable (“sui mi ya cai”)

Service was lovely. The boss lady 老闆娘 refilled our water multiple times.“

“OMG, this honestly surprised me! The place is not that big, tables are a little cramped, but the food is so good! Great price, huuuuge portions. I kid you not. Super worth it. The broths are full of flavor and packed with umami. And, call me cheesy, but I do enjoy the decor of this place! If you’re in the area, definitely stop by and check them out.“

“Got sat right away after putting myself on waitlist , food came out right away I got the hakata tonkatsu with medium spice . It was so flavorful and good . I didn’t taste any spice so would have been nice to get a bit more spice in it . My only regret is I ate it too fast . The other ramens looked good too . Especially the spicy ground chicken (TanTan). Workers were going at it getting orders out left and right and seemed to enthusiastic about it producing yummy meals for people 🙌🏼“

“Ngon 😍cung đậm chất Việt Nam“

“Food are great. Very clean surrounding. Staffs are very friendly and respectful. very outstanding customer service 👏 Keep it up! 10 ⭐️“

“The meat quality is pretty good! Although there was a big party right before us so we had to wait for quite a bit after seated for food to be served, the dining experience was satisfying. I got the yuzu soup base, was quite refreshing. Would recommend to come early (around or before 6 pm) to avoid long waiting time.“

“At this location, the fried garlic is served separately—a detail I truly appreciate. I also really enjoy their thin egg noodles, which strike a perfect balance between chewy and tender without becoming overly soft. However, the dish tends to be quite oily, so if you prefer lighter meals, this might not be ideal for you.

My usual order is the Number 1 without kidney, with the soup served on the side. I also always add fish cake as an appetizer. The total cost for two regular dishes plus one appetizer comes to $53.75.

What I love about this restaurant is how it evokes the authentic flavors of Thailand’s street food, especially the dry yellow egg noodles. While it doesn’t include traditional Thai-style char siu or wontons, the taste remains quite close to home.

This well-established Chinese restaurant impresses me with its surprisingly clean restrooms, likely due to my morning visits. Parking can be difficult, as only metered street parking is available. The branch tends to be busy, so clear communication with staff is important. Although there may be a short wait, the service is attentive and friendly.“

“Great stuff! Chinese Vietnamese style pho served with a ginger scallion sauce which really makes the dish. You can pick from 4 different kinds of noodles.

Boneless Chicken Noodle ($15.99) - Shredded chicken for the lazy customers! Broth tasted pretty good.“

“First of all, the food was great. I could tell it was a popular restaurant based on the non-stop delivery pick-ups!
The service was unique. There was only one older gentleman, and a bit of a language barrier. But we were able to easily order and communicate that they were out of the donuts. 😭
But despite that, and the hole-in-the-wall location of it. And the confusion of a another, similarly named restaurant Spices across the street. But we got pointed in the right direction and we were very happy with the quality and flavor of the food.
We had the Kung Pao Chicken, Pork Buns, and scallion pancakes. All of which was delicious.
And the price was phenomenal. Especially given how much prices have gone up over the last couple of years.“

“Fresh, delicious and great folks“

“Delicious * Fast * Great price * Courteous

The Tofu Banh Mi Sandwich was excellent! Wonderful flavor, amazing texture, just the right amount of sauce and spices. I called in my order, and it was ready when I arrived in 10 minutes. Their service over the phone and in-person was engaging and courteous. The price was extremely reasonable. I also love that they charge less if you pay in cash – a great way to wean all of us off the credit card system.“

“Oh how I miss Anchalee! Beautiful cozy decor and the food is amazing. I have great memories of this place. Time to make my way back to enjoy.“

“Ok how have I lived a 5 min walk from this spot for the past 3 months and not gone sooner!!! I love pho and Monster Pho is some of the best I’ve ever had. My partner got the chicken rice plate and thoroughly enjoyed it — chicken was flavorful and perfectly cooked. Not only was the food great, but we also really appreciated connecting with Tee. I highly recommend eating here.“

“I absolutely adore this place! I’ve been coming here for roughly 5 years and the food is absolutely scrumptious! I’m a creature of habit, so my go-to bowl of noodles here is the Chongqing Street Noodles. It’s so hearty and flavorful with the most deliciously chewy hand pulled noodles! I also love the peanuts and they make it perfectly spicy when I request for it. Also, the prices are super reasonable and the portions are ample.

It’s never super busy and they have searing both inside and outside. The lady who takes orders is super sweet and efficient. I love the robot that brings the food to the table! It’s always a hoot to watch. All in all, this is some of the best and most unique noodle soup that you’ll find in Oakland! I love it to pieces!“

“Overall Good & Reasonable Price“

“Cool place (love the decor/style), nice staff & tasty food. Some dishes you will not find in the average Thai restaurant in the Bay Area. For example, the chef or owner is from northern Thailand so the menu features a top Northern Thai dish - Kao Soi noodle soup (beef or chicken), or the all time fav 'street food' grilled pork skewers (moo ping) served with sticky rice (ck out the menu on their website). I had the Pad Kemao Chicken (menu says beef but they are happy to make dishes with what you like & even have Beyond Meat dishes on the menu - cool to see stir fried basil with Beyond Meat (Krapao Beyond Neur)). The taste of my wok fried pad kemao was delicious, same or better than any I've had on prior trips to Bangkok. Glad to have discovered a solid Thai restaurant that doesn't have watered down flavors. Good to see they have a lot of gluten free and vegan choices on the menu too. Definitely will be back, keep up the good work!“

“Picked up dinner twice this week. Delicious.“

“Our favorite place for a date night in Union City! Fantastic menu choices and delicious food every time.“

“Excellent food! The Pho was amazing clear and so yummy! Can’t wait to try more items on the menu; next time!“

“This is the best ramen in Oakland and possibly the Bay Area. I’m still trying new ramen spots but out of 22 that I’ve tried throughout the Bay Area this is the best I ever had! The toloyaki is really good as well.

The vibe tho! Oh so nice , good music great atmosphere! I try to go twice a month but the way my cholesterol is set up I have to pull back lol.

Give them a try they are amazing 10/10“

“The cook came out to chat with us! Yummy food!“

“Enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant, was provided excellent service and hospitality, and the food was amazing.“

“I only gave this place 5 stars because Google won't allow me to give them 💯! This is one of the best restaurants in the bay area! If you love spicy soup I highly recommend the numbing spicy chicken soup. My girlfriend and I are regulars, and our favorite dishes are the chicken pho, the numbing spicy soup, and the honey chili chicken wings! 🤤“

“Loved this spot. We came in about an hour right before closing, and the staff was still very welcoming and friendly.

The serving size are huge. I would want to come back and take some photos.

Galbitang, soy garlic wings, and the banchan were the stars of the dinner. Highly recommend coming here. Please support this business !“

“Tasty! The Asada was perfect and generous amounts“

“Excited to experience dim sum at night! That's the best part about this place. Dim sum anytime. This is one of their newest location. We're so glad we came here. Parking was insane but we got lucky and parked by a nearby lot. We even met the owner Michael. What a nice man! Two of my friends have tried their SF location so they already knew what to order. Lucky me! Everything was mouth watering delicious. The wait outside was not long at all and we came early by 6 pm. There's 2 levels of seatings and I highly suggest to ask for the upper floor seating. Much cooler up there on a warm day/night. The servers were so nice. I definitely remember William. Checked on us often and made sure we enjoyed our meal. We had 7 dim sum selections and there was plenty for the 3 of us. We even had a mini to go box at the end. The price is $$. I can't wait to go back here again.“

“Reasonably priced tasty dinner of Shanghai Soup Dumplings, Sweet fried chicken wings, and beef stew noodle soup. Delicate XLB and juicy. Wings were crunchy, meaty, and lightly battered and fried. It’s one of our “go to places” for Chinese food in Alameda. Small local neighborhood place with nice service.“

“My food was absolutely amazing I’m from Rochester New York“

“GreT food and good service. Prices good too.“

“Perfect every time we go! 👍“

“My wife and I work in Oakland on Saturdays. We always look for a restaurant to try. Oh my Da Nang Quan. We sat and I let the ambient soaked into me. 4 ladies in the corner table chatting it up in Vietnamese. A couple next to us shared what they had ordered. 4 men was at a table speaking Cantonese and Vietnamese. It felt so nice hearing everyone talking about their lives. We will be back anytime we are in Oakland. A little gem.“

“Marugame is our absolute go-to for the kids! The menu options make it so easy to find something everyone loves, and the cafeteria-style layout makes ordering a breeze. Everything tastes fantastic, and the dishes are so easy to share across the table. Always a reliable, delicious meal for the whole family.“

“Delicious pho ga. Soup is on point. Full of flavor.“

“My Mum and I came for some dinner omg we had just beat the dinner rush.. it was amazing Chinese food. Ordered the pan fried beef noodles and their honey walnut prawns are the hook! Such a tiny but mighty place. Thanks will be back again for more“

“Amazing food with outstanding service!!“

“Yummy Chinese food! Potstickers are made fresh

Wheelchair accessibility: not wheelchair accessible, need to go up stairs“

“Just wrapped up a fantastic dinner at Sukko Thai and I have to say, every dish hit the mark. We ordered the chicken pad Thai, mango fried rice, and basil eggplant, and honestly, it was tough to pick a favorite.

The pad Thai had that perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory, with chicken that was tender and not overcooked. The mango fried rice was a standout for me. Sweet chunks of ripe mango paired with perfectly seasoned rice made for a dish I'm already thinking about ordering again. And the basil eggplant? Bold, aromatic, and packed with that fresh Thai basil flavor that you just can't fake.

What really impressed me was how fresh everything tasted. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in their ingredients. No heavy, greasy aftertaste, just clean, vibrant Thai flavors done right.

If you're in the mood for authentic Thai that delivers on both flavor and quality, Sukko Thai should be at the top of your list. We'll definitely be back.“

“Great food and we will definitely visit again“

“Had a great bowl of pho to start the day the other day. The pho broth has a nice complex flavor- I could taste a good amount of star anise in the bowl and I was a fan of the wonderful plate of garnishes. The thai basil in particular was so happy and fresh, whoever they get it from take a lot of care of these plants! The serving size was excellent I felt happily full and enjoyed this bowl quite a bit.“
