Noodles near San Lorenzo, CA

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

“This place is hopping, even on weekdays! I’m so glad to see a business doing well in this spot by the San Lorenzo post office. Of course, I had to try chang fen! I opted for the BBQ pork and dried shrimp combo for the filling, and I added scallions for a small upcharge. Most of the dishes offer several modification options. I was slightly worried that the dried shrimp flavor would be overwhelming, but it dissolved well into the soy-based sauce. The barbecue flavor was sweet but slightly smoky. I appreciated the vegetal zing the scallions brought to the dish. Do add some of the mild, yet lively, vinegar sauce on the table. The chile sauce also deserves a shout-out.

Great steamed walnut buns, and I also enjoyed the Liwan congee, but I think the simpler chicken or beef is what I'll opt for next time.“

“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 !“

“This food was so spot on! No beef, chicken is their protein. Don't come in asking for red meat. The chicken is tasty and the soup is so good! Also the homemade sauce for the chicken is an awesome taste! We'll be back for sure!!“

“It’s like the most legit Chinese food cooked in the area. I could tell the chef was properly trained and brought the flavors from sichuan. Love the rice noodles, and all the side dishes are decent. This is like ten times fancier than the rice noodles from hunan mifen in Newark. They also have amazing beef rolls, sesame balls and the seaweed salad was really good too. The new mixed cold rice noodle with string beans is super good. (Apologies I didn’t take very good photos the food was like half eaten. It looked better when it was served)“

“Great food here. We got pork soup dumplings and crab pork. We preferred the pork ones.

We also tried the scallion pancake and dried noodles with beef (regular cut) and they both wowed us!! The beef portions were enough for 3 of us to share.

Only feedback is the restaurant door opens and closes a lot and there are frequent smokers outside which made for an unpleasant dining experience.“

“Kong Sarang BBQ is a hidden gem for authentic Korean food. The BBQ is delicious and well-prepared, but the real highlight is the 11-dish banchan — fresh, flavorful, and generous. It makes the dining experience feel truly authentic and satisfying. Definitely one of the best Korean spots in the area!“

“Pho was great! Order was ready quickly compared to another spot I had tried to order from. I love having the option to select beef broth with my veggie pho! The soft fried tofu in the veggie pho was so good!! The grilled shrimp and pork spring rolls were delish too! Will definitely be back - nice to have so close to my home!“

“great food and customer service! we came here based on another review and we were not disappointed!“

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

“I ordered the creamy soy ramen (vegan) and the trumpet mushroom skewers! The flavors were fresh and the service was immaculate! The server knew just when to check in on all the tables and as someone who was dining solo, I am so glad I was not overlooked but also not pressured to eat too fast.

Thank you for a wonderful time!“

“Went here for the first time with my sister who has been here several times before and Omg! Everything was incredible 🤤 we got there pretty late so the kitchen had run out of a few things but everything that we tried was so good! Very hot and fresh, we ordered several appetizers to share and I loved everything. Then the entrees came out and they were all beautifully presented, and so flavorful! This place really is a gem and I will definitely be stopping by when I’m in the area again.“

“The picture says it all. 😋“

“First timers! Bahn Mi's were so good! customer service was very courteous, and quick. Food was delicious, portions were worth the price. Soups looked amazing also!“

“Overall Good & Reasonable Price“

“Very solid noodle spot in Alameda. The chicken wonton/noodle soup was flavorful/kid friendly, and we enjoyed the Taiwan beef noodle soup, zhajiang noodles, garlic cucumber salad and spicy wontons. I liked the chewy thick-cut “sharpened” noodles. I believe they have bbq skewers at dinner (we stopped in for lunch). We’re excited to try other noodle dishes and the Taiwanese braised pork & rice when we return!“

“Ok this place has the best Bhan Mi in Oakland. Here why the bbq pork is sliced thick and is juicy on a crispy baguette. The baguette is the best and the pork is number one in my books. Ive been eat Vietnamese food since the 90’s and place is the best I have ever eaten. The price is good at 9.00 I hope they don’t raise it too for a long time cause I m going back there soon. Cheers everyone“

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

“Decent, if not generic, place for Vietnamese food. I had the pork chop with broken rice and it was pretty good. The restaurant itself looks pretty rundown, however, with a lot of the decor being leftover pieces from the thai restaurant that occupied this space several years prior to Pho Lan. The ceiling also has a lot of visible mildew and sealant or something spread around that makes it look like it's in the process of being renovated, and the overall atmosphere is slightly dull. Other than that, however, it's quite clean. Staff was super friendly, however, and service was fast since there was only one other person other than myself there at the time as it was a weekday. Overall, it's worth checking out if you're in the area and are craving Vietnamese food.“

“Having enjoyed their dishes many times for months, It’s beyond “Very Satisfying”! Excellent, delicious food! Quality well maintained although it is a hard time under C-19. Hygiene suggestions n requests well followed! Thanks 🙏 Customer Service outstanding! Highly recommended 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“Absolutely awesome food!!!! My favourite Thai restaurant on the Sunshine Coast!!!! Delicious food!!!“

“Ever since the Marugame Alameda location opened, it’s been a main staple for my routine! The staff are kind and attentive, and the food is delicious. Compared to other locations, I’d say the Alameda location is among the better ones I have visited over the years. Even though the location is fairly new, opening this past year, it’s helped heightened my expectations of Marugame locations. I highly recommend coming here and ordering the Gyudon!“

“Judging by its name you can't really tell what kind of Chinese food Ark Chinese restaurant offers. I think it was probably a noodle restaurant focusing on items from northern China. However it seems that the new owners have hired a cook that can also make Cantonese dishes. As a result the menu is more extensive and there are quite a few selections to choose from.

We ordered the pan fried green onion pancake, hand pulled beef noodle soup, tomato beef chow mein, beef stew noodles and sweet sour ribs. All were fairly good but I should note that the flavors were quite intense...as in too much salt or too much sugar. If you do pay a visit, keep that in mind. You may want to tell them to cut back on the salt and spices.

More importantly the prices are quite reasonable for a restaurant on Park Street in Alameda. Entrees, dinner items, generally run around 15 dollars or so.

The decor is ho-hum but the dining room is certainly quiet....perhaps too quiet , or maybe we were there too early. They could use some flowers or some paintings to liven up the place. Maybe play some K pop or something. The wait staff are friendly and helpful though.

if you're looking for an inexpensive place to eat before you see a movie or just in the area, give Ark Chinese restaurant a try. The food might assault your taste buds but the prices won't assault your wallet.“

“Pho or Yunnan? Yunnan for me. I think it’s healthier. Nothing like a bowl of numbing soup in the winter. The rice noodles go down so nice and the toppings are more elegant in taste and texture. The soup base really takes it. Can’t go wrong with the fish fillets.“

“目前最喜歡的螺絲粉😍😋“

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

“Super delicious!
Quick service!
Very stuffy and humid as expected.

We came here for our lunch break hour and were delighted by our meals.

Ordered the large bun bo hue and medium pho dac biet. The large was very generous and filling. Both broths were tasty and and mostly balanced. We felt the food was fairly priced. This was my first time trying Huyet/blood cake and was surprised I liked it. Wasn't gelatinous like I thought. Their tripe is SUPER good. It had flavor instead of just being there for texture, and it vaguely reminded me of menudo.

Also ordered a sugarcane juice and ice thai tea. Both were super delicious and fresh. Definitely worth noting that they fill the entire cup with ice and poured the beverages below ice level which is something you might not expect for $6

They had great condiment options at the table but definitely need to clean then as they were super dirty.

There was a rush that came I'm around 1PM which makes sense because the food is great. Definitely will be coming back to try some more!“

“Good food, good service, reasonable prices“

“Ngon 😍cung đậm chất Việt Nam“

“Delicious food and great service. We love many dishes from this restaurant“

“Oh man oh man! I found another hand-pulled noodles place close to home! Score!! Woohoo! Right next to 99 Ranch market and close to the freeway.

My co-workers have been talking about this place back in the day. I have been going here with my family for years and took many friends as well. This location has changed from many different places and Bings’s seems to have stayed over seven years now! Good sign! I like their open space dining set up where the kitchen is open and you can see them make their dumplings and noodles...ooo lala!!

Their menu is very simple and everything is now below $19. Price inflation but some are reasonable. Go figure! Very good portions though. You can taste the difference. Had their spicy and regular beef braised noodle soup. Meat was tender and the noodles are soft! You can tell the noodles are made fresh. Also, I like their wonton noodle soup. All broth soups are very good. Spicy was not really spicy to me though so I had to added more spice! Haha Their Hot Oil-Seared (dry) Noodles with minced pork is also very good. Their wonton in Chili Oil is good as well. I also get their pork soup dumplings. Everything they make are pretty good! The dumpling wrap is not too thick and lots of meat inside. You need to learn to eat with chop sticks and soup spoon to drink the soup from the dumplings! Also, you have to make the right sauce to dip this in. They don’t offer free tea anymore. It’s only 50cents but It’s good.

My fave place when I am craving spicy dry noodles or beef braised noodle soup. I just wish they added more bok choy for more veggies for a balance.

Very surprising their service is still pretty good, friendly and attentive. Seems they are a family business. They speak pretty good English, too. We are regulars here! So this means I totally recommend this place!“

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

“good soup, portion and taste“

“Our family was happy to see China Station back up and running! We had been customers for 25 years under the original owners. Although the original owners are gone, walking into the restaurant still gave us a warm, cozy feeling.

The signature garlic chicken wings are still here! The taste is almost identical and it has the same texture with the crispy sensation in every bite.

The slight disappointment was the “hot” garlic chicken wings with the red pepper flakes are no longer an option. The is a new spicy chicken wing on the menu which will definitely leave your lips and tongue tingling.

There are some interesting new options on the menu which we do want to try with our next visit.“

“Great combo beef Phô (all the good stuff, including tripe and tendon), a large amount of meat, plus your choice of noodles... I got egg noodles and loved it.

Served in under 5 minutes...

... Huge bowl, delicious ? broth.

Considering how expensive going out to eat is today, this is the best phô deal around.

I highly recommend this restaurant... It deserves a higher score on Google.“

“A convenient lunch destination after arriving on Oakland Airport and heading southbound toward Fremont. If you are a soup noodle lover, this is great place, good selection on noodle type, combo of proteins and good selections on drinks. Good comfort food after getting off the airport.“

“The food is always good here! Fresh and cooked to order. Service has gotten better over the years I remember when they were so rude. For the Ambiance I give it a 3 this is really a order and go. My favorite is always a dry fry ribs they're always top-notch. Today I ordered dry fried ribs beef chow mein and chicken fried rice with no soy sauce. The wait time has even improved I only waited 15 minutes.“

“Haven't been to Chai Thai Noodle for a while, way before the pandemic. Probably 5-6 years, sister said they have $5 happy hour noodles samplers (4 kinds of noodles- see photos for the specials).I suggested order 2 different bowls of noodles per person if you're hungry, that's only $10! The boat noodles were our favorites.“

“Im a big fan of their Phò, grilled chicken and shrimp vermicelli and their pastries . The staffs and owner Alice are very attentive and go their way to know their customers/guests. I highly recommend La Patisserie“

“I’ve been coming to this place with my family since I was in my mom’s womb, and let me tell you how long I’ve been waiting for them to open up again after they finished remodeling, because their pho is the best, from the broth to the noodles to their beef meatballs.“

“The best Phở in California!“

“The food was great, the service was excellent, I was very satisfied“

“I’m an regular customer and I’ve been eating for an long time and the food in that place was quite fantastic and casual but enjoyable times 👍✨“

“Try the beef tongue“

“They expanded their menu. Great Korean dishes as well as Japanese sushi roll. This place is great quality and probably the best priced compared to neighboring sushi restaurants. Their Korean BBQ plate is better than Mama Cho's that used to be in Castro Valley. This is the only good Korean food restaurant in Castro Valley. The sushi rolls are wonderful as well as their ramen. This place is a must try.“
