Great place for Yunnan style mixian! I came here for lunch with a friend on Thursday afternoon around 12:30, and it was decently packed but not completely full. They have one long communal table as well as some private tables. We were seated immediately upon arrival at the communal table. To order, scan the QR code and select what you want. I was interested in getting their wagyu beef mixian, but $26 seemed a bit pricy for a bowl of noodles, so I went with their regular beef mixian for $16. You can get extra noodles for free, so I went ahead and added that. It was very easy to order, plus I appreciate that you can customize whether you want spicy broth or non-spicy. I was very happy with my bowl of noodles. It came with a generous amount of beef and ground pork, more than enough to go with my two servings of noodles. The broth was also very tasty and the noodles super smooth and silky. I really enjoyed my meal here. They are also very kid friendly. My friend ordered the free kids meal for his kid. It's available for kids up to 6 years old and comes with a generous serving of noodles and sides. Would highly recommend this place for families and adults alike! read more

We came by last month (sorry late review) and stopped for a Friday dinner with the family. We got lucky as we were seated quickly but a busy line formed shortly after. The little ones really liked the porcelain mascot character inside. They had high chairs for both kids making feeding easier. You order off the QR code and we got the pig ear and pickled cucumbers to start. The pig ear was great but I think the family likes a bit more flavor with the cucumbers, some were ok but some did not have much vinegar at all. We then shared the signature Wagyu big bus and wife got the spicy beef miishien soup. The signature broth was creamy, milky and so delicious! The kids loved the noodles and flavors. Wife's beef noodle soup was good, she did enjoy our broth more. We will make this a regular stop for good food especially with the upcoming cooler months! read more

I did a DoorDash to go pick up order. I liked how my order was ready for pickup in a branded insulated bag. And that the noodle dishes (chicken and wagyu) had a light broth. The cucumbers were also refreshing. The cold cut chicken was unfortunately tough and the dip appeared to be unseasoned. The individual beef dish didn't stand out - other than the fact it was salty. The place looked inviting when I picked up the food. Parking was plenty. read more

I went here for dinner before seeing the movies nearby. I enjoy the sauce bar they have of garlic and green onions, and pickled vegetables. The food had a lot of sides that added to a very filling meal. The service is fast and we went on a less busy day so it was an enjoyable atmosphere. read more

Came to grab a really quick bite and it turned out quite good. Loved the pork intestine noodle. The fried tofu was also quite good. I felt the mouth watering chicken was pre-made and stored in refrigerator, and it was not returned to room temperature as the fat had not fully melted. Overall it was a good bite. read more

Really quite good. Convenient location right near the AMC Saratoga 14 movie theater. The seating is shared on long benches, so no real privacy per se, but it minimizes the wait times and makes things more efficient as far as getting people through. Ordering was via QR code on your phone, and there were enough choices to satisfy everyone in our party. The nice thing is you can order extra rice noodles (which are good!) for no extra charge. The spicy pork noodles was satisfying, flavor was layered enough to be interesting, I enjoyed the broth and had to restrain myself a bit from drinking it. So filling, satisfying, and quick - a good combination. read more

great place for rice noodles! i like this place more than some other places because of the variety of options like vegetarian and chicken. I do wish they had a soup option for vegetarians but it's pretty hard to get a good veggie broth so it's understandable. what we got: cucumber salad (5/10 yums): I think the reason why I rate this so low is because of preference. I almost always get cucumber salad at restaurants. However, this cucumber salad was just a tad bit bland and had WAY too much cilantro. I usually do like cilantro, but it was way too much. hot and sour woodear salad (7/10 yums): Although I did enjoy this, I do feel like I've had better woodear salads before. This one had a strong lemon taste which kind of threw me off, but I personally liked the onions that went with it. chicken rice noodles (10/10 yums): my GO TO. I like how it is refreshing and not too oily or heavy. I love how there is an option for low salt, which I usually go for. Golden triangle (8/10 yums): I usually prefer soup rice noodles, but this is a great option for vegetarians. It is heavily spiced and has the option for spicy or non-spicy. read more

Flavor is good but my gosh is it oily! I got the spicy pork noodles and added extra noodles for free which is nice. I like the pickled vegetables too but I don't think I'd come back because I like drinking the soup when getting noodles soup but can't drink much of it here read more

Love this place! The service is one of the reason that I keep coming back to this place. Not only the owner, the staff is also super friendly and helpful. They seem to be busy but we always like to talk to them for a few words. The flavor is also good. I'm not a big spicy eater but it smells authentic. I usually ask for no spicy and their soup noodle will still be a bit mild spicy. read more

Came in on a slow Thursday afternoon and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. The food was okay, but nothing stood out or made it memorable. The biggest issue was the service. It was extremely slow and felt almost non-existent. It took a long time for our food to come out despite the restaurant not being busy, and it was difficult to get the server's attention when we needed the check. Good service is an important part of the dining experience, and unfortunately that was lacking during our visit. I hope they can improve their attentiveness and overall hospitality. read more

Had 575 bookmarked for so long and was super excited to finally try yesterday! Came for dinner and was seated right away at 6pm. Staff are friendly, spot is pretty small but kid-friendly and self-serve utensil tables. The Wagyu Soup Noodle bowl was super bland. So much so that my partner had to add a ton of chili sauce, and I had to add other seasoning toppings. Would be open to trying the beef noodle soup next time but the Waygu soup bowl wasn't it. Pig ears were pretty good but sliced super thin.. thinner than the onions.. read more

3 of us came here for lunch on Jul 4 before catching a movie. The restaurant was conveniently located right next to AMC Saratoga 14. Parking was easy. We arrived around 12:30pm, and were seated immediately at the corner of the communal table. Service was bare minimal but efficient. We ordered via a QR code, and helped ourselves to the water already at the table. There's a self-serve sauce bar near the entrance as well. The restaurant wasn't too big inside and there was a short line outside while we're there. The line went away pretty quickly, though. Food came out within 10 minutes after placing our order. I had their Signature Free Range Chicken Big-bus Miishien Soup for the "crossing the bridge noodles" experience. The broth was piping hot and very flavorful. I put all the fixings and noodles into the broth except the cashew nuts and the chicken, which I put in right before I was about to eat them. The chicken was very lean and tender. I even ate the skin as there's no fat attached to it. I also loved the texture of the noodles. The mushroom was great, just too little of it. I wish they had used corn ribs or another vegetable as the corn kernels were very hard to fish from the broth. While it was a delicious and satisfying bowl of noodles, the "Big-bus" version was a bit overpriced. Our daughter liked her Small Pot Spicy Ground Pork Miishien Soup (Less Spicy), especially how the mini Chinese donuts soaked up the broth. I had a bit of her broth and ground pork, and it was yummy with just a bit of numbing spininess. We both liked their pickles from the sauce bar and at the table. My husband enjoyed his Small Pot Spicy Ground Pork Miishien Soup with free extra miishien as well. After selecting Checkout on Chowbus, payment was done via a staff who came by. I signed up for their rewards program when I ordered, and got 10% off. I would love to come back and try their spicy beef noodles. I noticed a promo sign outside the restaurant for some of their noodle dishes (@$12.99) from Monday to Thursday, during specific hours. read more

I've been eyeing this spot for a long time and finally got a chance to grab dinner last night. It's been high on my list because every time I came to the movie theater next door, I'd see a long line of folks waiting to get in. The service was truly excellent. Jeff, the chef (rhymes!), was kind and welcoming. He could tell it was our first time and went out of his way to check in, give advice on what to order, and how to enjoy it. The wagyu and chicken soup were both outstanding -- flavorful, hearty, and healthy. Here's the part that took it over the top for me: they had accidentally forgotten our fried tofu. I happened to be nearby this morning and stopped in, fully expecting them to ask for proof of purchase or be resistant. Instead, they just handed it to me. No questions. That's top-notch customer service. I'm now a promoter and will definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend! read more

Spicy beef noodle soup: 4/5 I've had so many spicy beef noodles but this one takes the W for this category. The flavor is absolutely perfection. No complaints. Hit every category in flavor. Only critique is I'm not a big fan of these slippery noodles. Just not satisfying with the flavorful soup. Such quick service. More of a quick and casual dining restaurant. Barely had to interact with workers since you do ordering through QR read more

Well done Haven't had yunnan crossing the bridge noodles in a long time but this place does it right. Fresh Wagyu, veggies, and rice noodles served alongside a piping hot flavorful broth. What else can you ask for? We also tried their braised beef which was excellent as well. Could have used a few more pieces of braised beef but it's more of a want than a need. Nonetheless, delicious. The sweet potato rose cake was a sweet finish - crusty, soft, and not too sweet read more

the service staff here are great, they are very attentive and food comes out within a reasonable amount of time (~20 minutes). I like the sauce bar they have on the side, the portion is a good size but it's still a little bit pricey (upwards of $30 for a bowl). the ingredients are very fresh here, the flavor of the food was good, and the inside of the restaurant is a good space. I'd come back to try other dishes. read more

I think it's enough to fulfill my craving, given that there are not a lot of options for Chinese noodles soup in that specific area. The place is quite self serve. Order with QR code and there are some condiments you can get from the counter. It's a small restaurant. I think I will only go back if I happen to be there read more

Located right next to the AMC theater, it's hard to miss with all the neon lights and the massive screen out front. We finally got a chance to check it out, and since we were on a tight schedule before our movie, we were pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. Service was efficient - we sat down, were served, finished two bowls of noodles, and were out within 45 minutes. This spot is especially comforting during the cold winter months. The only misstep was ordering for the first time without realizing the highly recommended dishes included Mala numbing seasoning, which isn't my preference. That said, the meat was incredibly tender, the noodles were cooked just right, and I loved the generous amount of chopped green onions and cilantro. I just wished there were a few more pieces of bok choy. I'd definitely come back to try a different soup base so I can fully enjoy the experience next time. read more

Decently tasty noodle spot! Mom and I shared a stuffed tofu app and a bowl of noodles each. The yunnan stuffed tofu was like eating little delicious savory clouds! So good; I think I liked it more than the bowl of noodles I got. I got the spicy braised beef miishien which came with a few chunks of tender beef, an average portion of rice noodles, and a flavorful yet slightly overly salty broth. I highly recommend getting the less salt option for it. Service is bare minimum. A lot of the items you grab yourself (water, noodle toppings, etc.) You also order your food yourself via QR code in the table. We were sat in the communal long table upon entrance. A bit of an awkward arrangement if a stranger gets sat next to you. read more

If you're looking for an authentic Beijing style noodle house, this is it. I ordered the Signature chicken "Big Bus" Miishien Soup. They deliver a large heavy wooden platter of cold chicken (protected in Saran Wrap) along with various add ons like corn, mushroom, leafy greens, onion, cashews and a quail egg. It def reminded me somehow of being in a state sponsored foreign restaurant where everything is carefully measured out. The soup is ultimately delivered in a heavy large wooden bowl, and then there's another bowl for the noodles. I combined literally everything together, topped it off with my own concoction of toppings from their small sauce bar and voila! I also ordered the cold cucumber salad which I wouldn't urge anyone to order - the marinade was a little too much on the sweet side for me and the cucumber wasn't fresh or crunchy enough. Tofu skin dish is also pretty regular. Portions here are obviously large so be sure to account for that. Ordering process is by QR code per table so ideal if convenience is your thing. That's all. read more

Solid Yummy Yunnan Rice Noodles that meet expectations Food Quality: Standout dishes: Spicy Tofu Skin Salad and both mishien varieties delivered authentic flavors (Spicy Pork Intestine Mishien, Spicy Meat Paste Mishien) Minor drawback: Spicy broth was borderline greasy, good thing they are not too salty Portion surprise: Despite other reviews claiming small portions, we found them quite generous! Kid-friendly: Kid's Mishien was a hit with the little one Free dessert offer: They'll comp the Rose Flower Cake for a 5-star review (we obviously didn't take the offer ;-P) Service Experience: Friendly and attentive hostess and server Thoughtful timing: brought the kid's meal out first Value for Money: Generous portions left us completely satisfied Fair pricing for the quality and quantity Cleanliness: Needs attention: Water cups and utensils on the table were a bit greasy (likely post-lunch rush) Restroom: Okay clean but could use some improvement Note: Restroom cleanliness often reflects kitchen standards - something to keep an eye on read more

The noodle (miishien)? Amazing. The broth was pretty solid too. I didn't like the sides that much though. It wasn't bad, it was just very basic. Nothing stood out. The intestine was very good, except it was too salty for my preference. The line was long when we went, and they did have a yelp waitlist. However, I don't know if they went down the waitlist, because when we went back to hovering over by the entrance (30 min later), they were able to clear up 4 seats by the long (shared) table. They didn't call our names though. I was pretty sure there were more groups in waitlist after us too, but there were only people getting things to go after we sat down. Service was friendly, but it was confusing at first since we were sitting on the shared table. I didn't realize the water pitcher is for sharing between everyone. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by this restaurant after the movies. I've eaten here with my mom once before and our food was pretty good. I ordered the Spicy Porcini Mushroom Rice Noodle and my boyfriend got the Spicy Braised Beef Miishien (Spicy). I really enjoyed my rice noodle dish and I would highly recommend it. The fried mushrooms add a nice texture. I also ordered a side of chicken for some protein, but the portion was so little. Overall, the noodle dish here are solid but I really didn't like how close the tables are. We were seated in the back right next to another couple, and the server kept bringing us the wrong dish and getting our orders messed up with theirs. read more

Come early. It gets packed during lunch rush over the weekend. The food takes some time to come out too. You have to order from a QR code. I accidently selected Chinese and couldn't read the menu at alll, but we scanned on my husbands food and set the menu to English to work around that. We ordered the signature wagyu big bus miishien. It comes with rice noodles, wagyu and toppings. There is spicy oil and pickled veggies that can also be added to the soup. Without the spicy oil and pickled veggies , the soup itself can be a little bland. I wish the portion of toppings was larger , for example , the portion for wagyu was very tiny and it would have been better to add extra wagyu to the dish since my husband and I shared the dish. Overall, this is a unique spot for noodle soup. Haven't seen this type of dish before. Come early to avoid the crowds. Kids eat free from Monday to Thursday read more

Big bus for the both of us. All the other items are spicy which doesn't work for me or our toddler. I felt like the waitress was really busy as there was only one. She did do a good job but from reading the reviews - you can get extra noodles with the waygu order which is what we got and our kiddo can eat for free which was also not obvious. Im not a huge eater and I felt like the food wasn't enough so knowing that you can get free extra noddles would have been useful. The broth was super savory - omg my toddler had an entire bowl of it. read more

I've tried the two types of cross bridges and it's always such a fun DIY experience.

I had a lot of rice noodles in my life, both in China and the Bay Area. My verdict of 575 Miishien: two stars for the food - it's a nice-to-try place if you are craving for a bowl of hot soupy rice noodles in the neighborhood. The broth was a bit bland, lacking of flavor. I ordered the Waygu beef noodles set and I was disappointed - a bit pricey for the average quality of ingredients - you're paying $26 for the gimmick of the dish presentation, that's about it. I get more and tastier noodle broth at other restaurants like Tang Bar. The hilarious thing was the owner (who also worked on the floor when I dined there) appeared on a series of self-made promotional videos on the big tv screen in his restaurant, it felt he was so full of himself. Regardless, he seemed like a nice guy who made sure the customers happy dining in his establishment. Added a star for that. read more

Of course I was drawn to the high score and raving reviews when searching for a place to eat after the de Anza flea market... come to find, they provide a free dessert or drink if you give them 5 stars. After a long wait...FYI, THEY ONLY WAITLIST THROUGH CHOWBUS I ORDERED: Spicy pig ears appetizer - thinly sliced which is good if you are not a fan of the continuous crunch like I am - more garnishes such as the red onion and cilantro than the pig ears itself - to me, the spices and seasoning overpowered the pig ear and the dish - did not really compliment the main entrees - would not order again Golden triangle soldiers dry mixed - personally, my favorite dish of the bunch - tasted exactly like Dan Dan noodles without the bitter aftertaste - I appreciate the addition of the mushrooms - dish depended on the bunch of herbs and seasoning so most of the time that's all you tasted... (black pepper, chives, green onion, garlic, etc) - would order again Waygu beef - what was annoying is, we took this approach as shabu shabu because we did not want like the meat overcooked BUT three servers came by rushing us and pushing us to just put everything in so I am guessing they can hurry up and clean off the table... very annoying and very frustrating - the amount of sides to the soup proportion was crazy (teeny veggies with lots of soup) - greatest part of it all: I found a bunch of ants in the soup (no not black pepper, actual ants with legs) AMBIENCE: - small restaurant - few tables - has one large family style table with different people expected to be seated together - when we were there, they literally moved and pushed our table over WHILE WE WERE EATING to assist the adjacent table with more space; WTF. SERVICE: - see above - I am speechless in a bad way - you are expected to retrieve your own pickles, to go containers, etc (at least when I was there) - additionally, even though you can supposedly poke them or ring them on the chowbus app for the bill... this doesn't work. One of my companions literally had to get up and walk to the cashier. WHY THE 3 STARS? - I mean it is really tasty and well seasoned/flavored food. It's consumable aside from the ants and authentic. - good location with multiple parking (private parking lot and free) - while waiting, they were nice enough to provide us with toys and different flavored mints With their questionable antics, I wouldn't want to come back and support. read more

Really flavourful soup at this location. Unlimited noodles if you get the wagyu set. Love the condiments at the table. I would come again Pros The interior and the TVs play video about the chef so you get to know the process of how they make their soup. Their soup has alot of flavor for a bone broth. I liked everything here and the portions are large. If you get the wagyu set you can split and share Cons Some wait time Not as spicy to my liking. Other mifen places have alot more spice.
