    noodle with cumin lamb
    Jessica H.

    Good chewy noodles xi'an style. The spicy and sour liang pi was a burst of flavor. The noodles are made from wheat flour, rather than green bean starch (I was hoping for green bean tbh) but it was still tasty. It's a very thick noodle. Goes great with the sauce. It's spicy and sour as described. I love the tang from the vinegar. The heat in the chili oil. The wheat tofu topping soaks up a lot of flavor and is one of the best parts when you bite into it. The noodle with cumin lamb was okay. The noodles were great but the meat was a letdown as it was so fatty imo. Some pieces were not chewable. The spice was kind of there but not really, and it could use more sauce as the noodles were so dry and unflavored. I ended up mixing in the liang pi sauce into my noodles to have some sort of flavor. The romaine lettuce did not pair well in this dish imo. Strange. The crispy sandwich with pork was good. Very crispy indeed and flaky. The pork was tender and stewed well (tender, juicy, fatty), but a bit too heavy in the porky flavor. Could use some sauce to cover it up a little. The seaweed and dried shrimp wonton soup was so refreshing and clear. The wontons were flavorful and perfect size. The seaweed was savory and a great topping in this soup.

    Lamb dumplings

    Admittedly when we saw Blissful Noodle the first time, we were a bit hesitant. Burlingame's strong suit isn't exactly Asian food but then we happened upon a reviewer that recommended it so opted to try it. We ordered 3 dishes - the liang pi, the lamb dumplings in sesame chili, and the three in one noodles with the biang biang noodles. The liang pi came first. The noodles were a little thicker than what I'm accustomed to but still good but the star was the chili oil! It brought subtle heat but also had a nice floral flavor which hints to me it's made fresh in house daily. The one downfall on this dish was the wheat gluten which was probably kept in water because it was super water-logged instead of taking up that tasty chili oil. Next up were the dumplings which were supple and juicy. The lamb had just enough flavor to let you know that it was indeed lamb. It was odd that Blissful Noodle didn't have an option for just boiled dumplings. While the sesame chili sauce was tasty, honestly the dumplings could have also shined independently. Lastly the three in one noodles. We subbed the biang biang noodles and these were both extra wide and super long. It was so good! The chew was especially enjoyable! I would absolutely repeat this one again!

    E4 and Noodle 3 Way (minus the chili oil)
    Jessica H.

    Lots of seating available even on Mother's Day. Fortunate for me because I was starving. Quickly ordered a bowl of noodles, Noodles 3 Way, minus the chili oil as I do not tolerate spicy well. The staff did mention that the ground pork was also a little spicy. Food came fast. They will help you mix your noodle unless you decline. The hand pulled noodles were fresh, perfectly cooked and chewy. The ground pork was tender and not spicy at all. The egg and tomato mixed really well with the pork that gave the dish a pleasant slight tanginess. I really enjoyed the dish but felt like it was a bit small for the price. I would recommend at least one visit as the noodles were really good.

    Summary: Solid made-in-house noodles Details: Not a ton to say about this one: food was good, not great. Flavors are all pretty solid, but on the lighter (almost too much so?) side, which was a little surprising for a Chinese restaurant. Noodles are made in-house and have a good chew, so if anything, stick to those. For folks who enjoy liang pi, theirs veer on the thicker side, so you might want to go elsewhere for that. Accessibility: Spacious venue with lots of accessible tables.

    Amazing food, I ordered Beef Ribs with Hand Pulled Noodles and there Spicy Wonton which is good not super spicy Customer service is excellent The owner is super nice, he gave me a complimentary Tea which you rarely get now a days at any Asian restaurant because they worried about profit, the owner of Blissful Noodles has a kind heart and I highly recommend this spot in Burlingame Amazing food, reasonable price, everything is freshly cooked and excellent service

    Biang biang noodles
    Ada H.

    Came here on a weekday and was surprised it was pretty packed. Thankfully, my family were able to get situated upon arrival without havingn to wait. Service is a tad bit slow but wait staff are friendly. Highlights Lamb dumplings in sesame sauce (4.6/5) absolutely best thing here! The lamb is succulent and the sauce is umami and coats the dumplings well. This dumpling skin is a tad bit on the thicker side which isnt my personal favorite but the flavors made up for it. Biang biang noodles(4/5) im use to biang biang noodles being flat and wide and was surprised they came out as an udon shape. The chewy texture was perfect and the aromatics of the spicy sauce was delectable. The only thing I would say this dish is lacking would be meat. Beef pancakes (4/5) the flaky buttery crust of the pancake was perfection. The cumin meat was flavorful but wished the meat was a bit more tender. Liangpi noodles (3/5) the cold noodles were slippery and smooth but personally I prefer chewier noodles. Overall great spot to check out.

    Noodles had a great texture, they had a good chew to them. Wider and thicker than other biang biang noodles that I've tried. The dish has a good amount of spice & cumin flavor. We went to eat at ~7:20pm on a Friday and the wait was ~30min. Our food took about 10 min to come out after ordering. It wasn't very busy after while we were eating.

    Absolutely loved this restaurant! I highly recommend for thise that enjoy a little spice and pickled greens. The noodles were super flavorful and chewy. Highly recommend their spicy dumplings so delicious. Its very clean and spacious. The server is very kind and helpful with the menu. Will definitely be back for more!

    Popped by for a second time. This time, we tried their spicy sesame liang pi, their cumin lamb noodles, and their rice noodle with minced pork, pickled beans, and hot chili. The liang pi was delicious again, though we did note that the spicy sesame liang pi is substantially heavier than their spicy/sour liang pi. The cumin lamb was flavorful, and the handmade noodles had a great texture/bounce. The rice noodles were also very flavorful, though the rice noodles themselves were a bit softer than we prefer. Service was great again. Interior is still very spacious and clean.

    Blissful Noodles serves Chinese style noodles from a region in China called Xi'an which is known for their Biang Biang Noodles which are thick hand ripped noodles with a chewy texture, often mixes with hot chili oil and vinegar. This restaurant seems new as the interior decoration is updated and modern. Needless to say, we ordered the Biang Biang Noodles which were tasty, chewy, and a little spicy. Really addictive combination and we enjoyed the noodles. We also ordered the Rougamo Burger and Spicy Wontons. The Rougamo Burger is a flaky pastry baked fresh and stuffed with cold slices of beef shank marinated in some Mala marinate which consists of sichuan peppers. It's more of a numbing spicy than pure hot spiciness. Would definitely recommend a try. Finally, we also ordered the spicy wontons which consists of pork wontons mixed with chili oil, soy sauce, and some vinegar. Solid dish as well. All this and the final tab was around $40 so the prices were reasonable. ' The place was pretty empty when we were there on a Sunday so hope they get more business since the food is pretty good.

    Rice noodle, spicy sour beef
    Joanna S.

    Blissful Noodle just opened on Broadway in Burlingame. It's a pleasant space and service is good. I love that they serve rice noodles, since I'm allergic to eggs. Flavors were good, but spicy. A nice addition to Broadway.

    Very pleased with Blissful Noodle. I drove home to my parents' along Broadway, and noticed that a new business was in the old Sky Ramen spot and that they were having a soft opening. I needed to come here with my mom for lunch! Prices seemed reasonable to me (coming from San Francisco), but my mom thought they seemed steep at first when looking at the menu. However, after we got our dishes, she thought the portions were large enough to justify the prices (but that the pictures did not convey how large they were.) I ordered E2 (rice noodle with spicy sour minced pork), and my mom ordered E4 (rice noodle with spicy beef). We agreed that mine (E2) was better. I liked the vegetables and egg that they both came with, but E4 was too spicy (it was redder than E2) even though they'd appeared to be the same spiciness. Both came with quite a bit of meat. Flavors were very good and complex, and not overly-salty. One gripe that we've been having at more and more Asian restaurants, so it may be becoming the industry standard and is not just on Blissful Noodle--bring back free tea! $10 for a pot isn't even that bad compared to other places, but still! *shakes fist, saying, "back in my day..." The interior is very polished, clean, and modern. Service was very good, friendly, and helpful. As someone who grew up in the area, it's amazing to see more and more good Asian restaurants.

    Amazing hand pulled noodles in a beautiful new restaurant! The hand pulled noodles are so long, thick, and chewy and alone make the experience of this restaurant worth it. The service is extremely helpful and thorough, and the restaurant is large with plenty of seating. Enjoyed their complimentary hot tea.

It would be even better if they included lotus roots as well. It took a little while for the house special beef noodle soup (less spicy) to arrive, but it was totally worth the wait. It came piping hot. The broth was very flavorful, with the right amount of red pepper. It wasn't oily at all. The beef was super tender. I loved the texture of the noodles, and the beef to noodle ratio was not bad. A really solid dish. Would love to come back again to try their other dishes, especially their xiao long bao.

They do have outdoor seating, not that it would help much when the lunch crowd is huge. Since the store name emphasizes on Hainan chicken, i havent quite explored their other menu items. First time I had the Hainan chicken rice plate, another time I had the noodle version. Funnily I find their rice plate version smaller portioned than the noodle soup, however it's not a true Hainan chicken experience without having oil rice. Both dishes serve Hainan chicken with scallion oil marinade and roasted peanuts. While noodles have oyster mushroom and spinach, rice plate has pickled veggies. Overall it gets the craving settled, its not the greatest though. The noodle soup was an interesting option. It feels a bit like when youre making noodle soup at home and just tossed in random toppings. I had corn, spinach, oyster mushroom. Definitely not a combo I see commonly. The soup was not bad, its drinkable, not salt at all. However its a bit odd to pair it with Hainan chicken, perhaps better with fishcake or meat balls, I did see a meatballs version. They do have other noodle style and broths to choose from, such as hot and sour, laksa. They do offer fish paste noodle if you want a teeny tiny bit more protein. Overall food is okay. It's nothing to rave about, even though I love Hainan chicken.

Waitstaff was brisk and courteous. Was advised to not order more than what I had...he was right. Had leftovers to take home! Ordered the signature ORIGINAL KATSU CURRY w/pork. Other option is chicken. Steamed rice in a Japanese eatery is always top notch, always perfect and generous in portion here. The Tonkatsu was crispy but a tad short of tender, but tasty enough to dip in the accompanying Japanese curry sauce. I might ask for the curry sauce on the side next time. Cabbage salad, traditionally a huge portion was a small offering cushioning the Tonkatsu. Accompanied by a small scoop of house made potato salad and pickled veggies. The hot Tonkatsu, steamed rice and Japanese curry sauce was a great combo for me, a very filling and satisfying meal! CH offers a tabletop varied selection of chili peppers: Pequin, Wiri Wiri, Ichimi, Jalapẽno, Orange Habanero. I did a light sprinkling of the traditional Japanese Ichimi pepper to add a touch of heat and that was fine. Signature ORIGINAL KATSU CURRY was a great start to this menu tasting. I'll be back to try their DOUBLE MENCHI CURRY, KARAAGE CURRY, ASSORTED VEGGIE CURRY, KATSU CURRY UDON. CURRY HYUGA BURLINGAME is also one of the few places that has Omurice on its menu. A Japanese omelet w/rice or noodles inside. Their version is HAYASHI OM-RICE. I will definitely be back to try this! See you there!

    Every time I visit this restaurant, the service from the staff is consistently excellent. I always…read moreorder the same Vietnamese beef pho. The noodles are delicious, the broth is rich yet not greasy, and the beef slices are incredibly tender and smooth. It is almost impossible to find any flaws. If I had to point out one area that could be improved, it would probably be the choice of beef chunks. They are still very tender, but the texture feels just a little dry at times. Even so, this small issue does not take away from the overall experience. Overall, I highly recommend this modern pho restaurant. They also offer many other dishes with great value for the price. Strongly recommended to everyone. 每次去拜訪這家餐廳,服務員的服務都非常得好,我始終點一樣的越南牛肉粉,好吃的麵條,濃郁的湯頭也不油膩,加上超滑嫩的牛肉片,無可挑剔。硬要說一個能改進的地方,唯一美中不足的部分應該就是牛肉塊的部位挑選,感覺也是非常嫩,但是口感始終有一點柴。但是瑕不掩瑜,整體來講,我非常推薦這一家好吃的現代河粉店,裡面還有非常多性價比非常不錯的餐點,強力推薦給各位。

    This is such a cute and unique place! Came here on a Friday at 7pm for 4 people and waited like 20…read moreminutes. It's a smaller dining space that's why. The outside has a cute little garden walkway. We got the soy milk pho - such an interesting dish that I was dying to try! It was actually really good since the broth was light. The pho was a little sweet from the soy milk. The original pho broth flavor is subtle. The noodles were cooked perfectly chewy and I lovedddd!!! The wagyu skillet was tender and juicy! My friend and I both thought the meat tasted like al pastor for some reason lol. Not a bad thing.
