Wait was only a few minutes at lunchtime and easy with the yelp app.Green bean appetizer - perfectly cooked and crispy with great pepper garnishes and flavor.Scallion pancake - solid appetizer, crispy and great scallion flavor.Juicy pork dumplings - a favorite! So tasty and flavorful, someone mentioned they were too sweet but I didn’t get that at all. Love the juiciness.Chicken scallion - ooh these tasted so good. I was afraid chicken might be dry but these were our second favorite dumpling!Mongolian beef boiled - meh, saw another reviewer say these were their favorite but I felt they were pretty bland. Like a 4/10 for us.Next time I’d love to try the steamed dumplings. We were just so stuffed!“

“Such a beautiful and special experience in a gorgeous setting. Azalina and her team create innovative menus that you can't get anywhere else in the city with fresh produce that all comes from the area. The sauces, curries and meats are to die for and the portions are so much larger than a tasting menu should entail. The staff and owners are so thoughtful and make you feel so welcome. The interior of the restaurant is also gorgeous and transports you far from the bustle of the city. A must-stop on your list if you live in San Francisco!Vegetarian options: Menu can be made completely vegan“

“What a great experience! I especially love the chicken Goyza, pork dim sum and the Xiao Long Bao. I can’t wait to go back! Chef Suz ATX“

“I recently visited Basecamp (Nepalese restaurant) and had a delightful experience. The vegetable Momos and kale chaat were particularly outstanding, with their flavors and textures blending perfectly. They were definitely the highlights of the meal. I also tried the vegetable tofu chowmein, which was decent but didn't quite match the excellence of the Momos and kale chaat. However, the restaurant offers a wide variety of vegetarian options, which is impressive. Compared to other Nepalese restaurants I've been to, this one stands out for its flavorful and tasteful dishes. I would highly recommend trying their vegetable Momos and kale chaat for a delicious culinary experience and other dishes as well.“

“Finally I found out a place from where I can get home made fresh and delicious food. I strongly recommend everyone to try out. Home delivery what else do we want...“

“Brought parental units here for a weekday late lunch. The environment is chill, food was good, service was warm and friendly. | Ambiance | There's ~8 table here, with benches for seating; each table can comfortably seat 4-6, possibly more with kids. The restaurant is bright and delightfully decorated. | Food | Given this was our first time here, we ordered two #1 Original: one with shrimp, one with beef. The meat/bone broth has been cooked for hours and has a delicious depth to it. We had regular noodles (imported from Yuana) in one and kale noodles in the other. Both were delicious. The bridge of toppings that come with each order of noodles, albeit gimmicky, was fun and added texture to the dish; atop the bridge were corn, preserve vegetables, yuba, goji berries, ham slices, a shrimp, wood ear strips, chives, and a quail egg. The protein ( slices of beef and shrimp) came out raw, along with noodles on the side, and piping hot broth for us to cook everything in. All in all, a very satisfying meal. We also got the tofu + ground pork cold dry noodles and a wood ear appetizer. The dry noodles were unique and I liked the tofu flavors in them, though I still preferred the version with broth. The wood ear appetizer was good - vinegary and had a little kick. | Service | The manager/owner (?), having learned that this was our first visit, welcomed us and shared her recommendations. It was clear she's passionate about the food and takes pride in their offerings. She and the other waitress were both great in ensuring we were well taken care of; service was quick. Despite this being a restaurant that has been opened for only 5 months, everything is operating smoothly. When the bill came, I opted to pay with a credit card. These days, the tip portion of the credit card workflow at restaurants can get quite confusing, often ranging anywhere from 15-25% or more. Unlike other restaurants that default tip to 18% or 20%, I appreciated Oodle defaulting theirs to 15%. For that, and for the delightful service, I was happy to increase the tip to the next tier up at 18%. They earned it!“

“Assorted bao was fabulous. Please open a location in Minneola!!!“

“Really enjoyed participating on restaurant week pre- fix menu. We ordered ordered the Curry Lamb Stew, Chicken Thai Pot pie, and Pumpkin Pork with Vietnamese Ice coffee, Ginger Lemonade and Jasmine Iced Tea. I would order the curry lamb stew and Chicken Pot pie again. Pumpkin Pork needed some more flavor. Tea Leaf Salad was better than Platha Dipper. Vietnamese coffee was the better of the drink choices. Service was great. It was the first time visiting this restaurant. We like that we can talk across the table without raising our voices. The restaurant was quiet. Thank you!!!“

“This is hands-down the best Burmese restaurant we have every been to before. It was my 5th time and everything we ordered was a winner. Consistently great food, friendly service, fun atmosphere. I am constantly recommending this place to friends. Enjoy!“

“Decent food. Appetizers we had were corn fritters and roti, they were definitely the stars. Need to come back to try the Laksa that was not available that day. Wish the food had more veggies.Right in front of the N Judah stop so super accessible.“

“Great service, food was excellent--it would be better if not all the food came out at one time, and we didn't have enough space at our two-top to hold all the plates. But overall, excellent corn fritters and spare ribs, spring rolls, calamari. And again, great service, thank you!“

“Delicious! It’s been a favorite family spot for many years. Serves food that represents Beijing. Northern Chinese cuisine ñ.“
