We went to the area with the intent of going to a specific restaurant but that place happened to be closed at the time so we started looking for an alternative. It was serendipitous that we ended up at Noodles and Things.Service was very efficient. Once you are seated, water is provided. From the QR code on your table, you can choose your food from the menu and order directly even without the assistance of your waiter/waitress. For the quality of food served, it was a surprise they prepared it so quickly.Food was amazingly delicious. Their soup had so much meat and portions are huge we ended up asking for take out boxes. The soup is rich, flavorful and divine. The meat is so tender and luscious, the veggies are tasty and fresh.The four of us each ordered different kinds of soup with one appetizer and our total was just below a $100 including tip.Highly recommended if you're craving for Asian soup. Five stars all the way!!

Great spot for noodles. The beef noodles has some authentic high quality cuts of beef that no other restaurant in the Bay, at this price point, serves.

Clean, good service, food comes fastThe seafood soup has scallops, shrimp, fish fillet and fish ballThe Chicken soup comes with a side of their Hainan chicken and ginger sauce. The chicken is nice and tender but a bit saltyI like their Housemade special. The broth is fragrant, and it comes with a mix of the different meatballs and fishballs they make. I like the shrimp ones the best.Mala broth is rich and creamy

Hit & miss kind of place. My husband ordered beef noodle soups while I ordered braised free range duck combo rice. My husband’s dishes was fine. The broth was good at least. My combo rice was super salty. Basically, except for the boiled eggs and rice, everything was salty, even the complimentary side soup.We ordered directly from the QR code on the table. Not much interaction with the staff except when they served us water and 6 orders. My baby and I said thank you but there was no response ??‍♀️Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian dishesParking: Limited street parking and nearby public parking lots. Free after 6pm.Kid-friendliness: Kid’s high chairs and plastic utensils

The restaurant was so clean and spacious. You order using the QR Code and the worker doesn't really help you much other than saying the menu is at the front or u can scan the QR Code. The hot and sour noodles was so spicy but it was tasty. The noodle does soak up the soup so try to eat it first. The knife cut noodles was the best I'll definitely get that dish again.
