Soup dumplings
Nga P.

I'm not sure if I just ordered the wrong things, but I did not enjoy my experience. Though we came and got seated right away, we were told to scan the QR code to order. The server didn't really come by to ask us if we had any questions or if this was our first time, so we blindly ordered. I went off of your pictures and order the QQ dry noodles and the soup dumplings. The dumpling was overcooked, and there was no soup in the dumpling and the dry noodles, I could not even finish. The noodles was my fault for sure because I didn't ask any questions. It was mala spicy, and the numbing was just really off for me. I didn't even finish my plate and left hungry.

This was booked marked at the recommended of a friend and finally tried it for dinner on a chilly night this week. I called ahead to see how the wait was and person said he'd try to hold the table. Arrived 30 min later and the restaurant was full. Waited less than 5 min before being seated. I noticed there were just chopsticks in the utensil caddy and a box of napkins to help ourselves with. Water soon came after. Scanned the QR code on the wall behind us. Chose all their popular items. Beef noodle soup, tomato egg beef noodles, potstickers with pork, and ofc XLB (bc you have to try it where ever you see it on the menu) Beef noodle soup was the 1st to come. Needed to ask for bowls as we wanted to share. No extra spoons were given as per usual. I immediately noticed how thick the oil was in the soup. Usually THAT much oil is skimmed out before serving. Not this place. Distributed 3 servings for everyone to try hoping that the oil was not sit wrong in my stomach. IYKYK. (Middle thick) Noodles were nice and chewy and al dente. The flavors of the soup was actually tasty sans the film that spread over my lips, needing napkins to constantly wipe before my next bite. There were some of pieces of beef that were tough while other pieces were nice and tender. It came with a few pieces of bok choy, was nice to help cut down the grease. 3/5 Next came the tomato egg beef noodles. Instead of beef flank it was the same beef brisket (shank?) as the beef noodle soup. That was a nice change. I was so excited to try it as this dish is usually my favorite at place like Noodle St in So Cal. Tomato was nice and tender and not mushy. Egg had lots of flavor. Same beef as the other noodle soup hit or miss of tender pieces. Then the thick noodles. Same chewy texture. This is where it all went wrong for me. The flavor. I tasted Five Spice. Then the mala oily sour spice. The film that lingers and sticks on your lips and tingles throughout the whole meal. The flavors didn't taste quite right. It's like they used the mala base and sweeten it. Personally, not my cup of tea. I couldn't even finish my portion. 2.5/5 Next came the potstickers and XLB Potstickers were essentially the regular size boiled dumplings, pan fried. They looked very promising however the taste for me missed the mark. Meat filling was too lean and the skin wasn't as tender and soft. 3/5 The XLB came out piping hot. The juice held up pretty well. The flavor wasn't bad but it also wasn't my favorite either. 3/5 Throughout this whole time we were trying to flag down the servers for extra spoons and plates to eat our dumplings. We were only able to get extra spoons which weren't the cleanliness with still an oily film lingering. We basically just hand cupped each mouthful of dumpling to prevent the juices from dripping onto the table. No preset table settings. And the utensil was empty besides the chopsticks. By this point there a line forming out the door. I needed to get rid of this sour spicy taste that needed some Dawn soap to cut the grease off. Overall, aside from the thick cut noodles, everything else was just okay. There were these girls sitting at the next table who ordered beef chow mein. That actually looked good as it was my 1st choice but wanted to try the tomato egg instead. We know how that turned out. It sounds like many people like this place, earning them 4+ stars on Yelp. To each their own I guess but it wasn't for me

Spicy beef noodles
Maryanne W.

This is not the first time we came here, but I forgot to write a review last time. My husband and I were not sure where to go for lunch, so decided to return to this little place. This place used to be a Taiwanese restaurant years ago. I was not too thrilled about it despite my love for Taiwanese food... I do not know when did they change hand. Anyway we ordered three items since it was just the two of us . We had the spicy beef noodle soup, the pig ear appetizers, and the potsticker. The beef noodle soup was good. We selected the wide flat noodles, and it was very tasty. It was not as spicy as I have expected, but with a nice kick. Would be better if a bit more vegetables. The pig ears appetizer was great. Many restaurants will have fillers in there like they will have a thin layers of the protein on top and whole bunch of shredded cucumber in the bottom. This place the entire plate was full of pig years. I really really enjoyed it. The potstickers filling was pork, shrimp, and leeks. The size of each potstickers was on the small side, but tasty. The service was OK. Nothing to write home about but nothing to complain about either. The place was small and as with most Chinese place, a bit noisy. Overall, we had a pretty good experience and yes, we will be back here.

Today was the day! I was craving something warm during the cold weather we have been having. I've been telling myself for a while now that I needed to try CA Noodle because I pass by pretty often when my son goes to gymnastics down the street. The service was fast once I found out you order using the QR code at the table, and the food came out quickly. I got the - Braised beef soup regular noodles($16.80) Fungus salad($7.99) Qianmai Roujiamo($7.99) Spicy Oil Dry Noodle with Pork medium wide noodles($16.30) The braised beef noodle broth was really flavorful and the noodles had a nice chewy texture. I did end up adding some chili oil, which gave it a little extra kick. The fungus salad was nice and refreshing to go with the hot soup. It definitely helped with the heat since the broth stayed hot for what felt like forever, which is a good thing. My husband got the spicy dry noodles with pork and said it was good and enjoyed the heat from the chili. The Qianmai Roujiamo reminded me of a banh mi like flavor mixed with a pulled pork texture. It tasted good, but it's probably not something I would order again. I would go back again for the braised beef noodle soup and maybe try the cucumbers next time, unless I'm craving the fungus salad. It was really good and I might randomly crave it because of the light dressing they use.

Braised Beef Noodle Soup
Jia M.

Came here during lunch on a weekday and it was surprisingly pretty busy. We didn't have to wait but several people came in to eat after us. The portions are huge! The noodles are never-ending. I would say this is one of the best braised beef noodle soup places around the area - East Bay. The only downside is that the soup is a little oily in my opinion.

Noodles
Christina L.

Noodles are always delicious, but wished for more chew. Not busy during lunch. Order through QR code, once you finish eating, you pay at the counter. Order a Spicy Beef Noodle Soup ($17.97 with tax ). This will clear up your sinuses! The soup was really boiling hot, so be careful. The noodle were not as chewy as some other noodle places. The bok choy goes well with the chili oil soup. I would want more of the beef flavor in the soup as well too. Definitely would try their tan tan noodles next since that seems popular.

Solid Chinese noodle spot in Pleasanton. I was under the weather when I ate here, and it hit the spot. The hand-pulled noodles have a good texture and chew, the broths are rich without being too heavy. I got the braised beef noodle soup. The place is casual and cozy, perfect for a quick lunch or chill dinner. Service is fast and friendly.

Dry Chicken Noodle
Sujean W.

We had tried CA noodle for the first time last week and had a mixed thoughts on the food. The restaurant itself is small and quaint. No frill but kept clean. Server was good and on top of helping customers and getting orders out. There was only one server so he was working really hard to get all the tables served and helped in a timely manner. Ordering is done ourselves through a QR code and if you want a hard copy of the menu you can grab their togo menu We got their Sour Mustard fish noodle soup. The soup was a clear and light broth with pickled greens mixed in. The noodles were fresh and perfectly chewy or (aka QQ). The fish was delicious and cooked well and not over done. Overall 5/5 for this noodle soup. Second item we got was the dry chicken noodle with flat noodles. We were not a fan of this at all. The noodles were drenched in sauce and was almost inedible and salty. The chicken pieces were quite dry and hard. The sauce had a bit of Mala or numbing flavor is to it which wasn't pleasant to the palate at all. This dish would need to be a 1/5 for me. Never again will we order any of the dry noodle dishes. Hoping to come back to try some of their other noodles and possibly try to reevaluate based on other dishes. I'm hoping the unpleasant dry noodle dish is just a one off and the others dishes are better.

This is a cozy spot I always love to go to with family and friends. I grew up always getting the liang pi and the braised beef noodle soup. My family also came for a lot of birthdays also since the noodles are soooo long. I came back recently with my boyfriend and he loved it as well!! Food comes out fast and prices and portions are super reasonable. Manager is also super chill :-) Totally recommend.

This location is a bit tucked away but it's right behind McDonald's. I ate an early dinner so it was very quiet and nobody else was here except the staff. Nice decor and the staff were prompt. Fungus salad 5/5 - scrumptious. Served cold with bits of onions, green bell peppers, and cilantro with a light vinaigrette. If you love mushrooms, woodear mushrooms have that distinct crunch and chew. Perfect I'm between slurps of broth and noodles. Lamb Noodle soup 5/5 - amazing. Simple, clean flavorful broth. It wasn't overpowering. Plenty of tender fall off the bone lamb prices mixed in. Chili oil noodle with Pork 3/5 - it's in the name but I didn't realize how oily it was. There's literally a pool of oil at the bottom for you to mix. This was considered a dry noodle and I mistakenly thought I ordered it as a soup. The flavor did not jump out and it wasn't as fragrant even with the amount of oil. Their pork is pre-marinated and does have a little bit of szechuan if you're not a fan. I could barely taste any. I would come back to try other soup noodle dishes. Their serving bowls are big enough to feed two people.

Hot and Spicy Beef Noodle Soup
Jessica D.

I've tried a few different Chinese noodle spots (OK noodle, Ox 9, 88 baobao) and CA Noodle knocks them all out of the park. Really savory and perfectly firm and chewy noodles. Our favorite is the chili oil pork noodles...too good. Definitely one of our go-to's. Make sure to order the wide noodles! - chili oil pork noodles: 10/10. Perfectly savory. Too easy to inhale and no additional sauces necessary. - sour spicy pork noodles: not bad, but not as savory as the chili oil pork option. It's barely sour and not as flavorful and has veggie additions. - hot and spicy beef noodle soup: one of the better Chinese beef noodle soups I've had, but this dish just isn't my thing (I'm camp BBH). Just tastes like bland broth with oil.

Braised beef noodle soup
Kaitlyn M.

What an incredible restaurant! Small inside, but well laid out with a nice atmosphere and super easy ordering with a table-based QR code. The noodles and the broths here are incredible!! They are looong, because they are hand-pulled, so don't be afraid to ask for scissors if you are sharing! The braised beef has incredible flavor whether soup, dry, or any other dish. Just get there early!

Joyce S.

Restaurant is located in a small quiet plaza so we were surprised to walk in and find almost all the tables were already filled. We lucked out on claiming the last table. Ambiance was spacious even though the restaurant was small. There was a QR code to scan for menu and ordering. The two dishes we picked were the soybean paste (pork) noodle, and the chicken mushroom noodle soup. Loved that you could pick what type of noodles for the dish! The soybean paste came in a separate container from the noodles so that we could adjust how much we want to put on. I'm so glad the sauce was separated from noodles since the soybean sauce was a bit strong and salty, a little bit goes a long way. The mushroom chicken noodles came in a generous portion. I wasn't a huge fan of the soybean paste or the soup base of the chicken soup, but the noodles were super fresh and good, bouncy and chewy. The chicken was tender and flavorful and I loved that dish came with a good amount of veggies. I would be open to trying other dishes the next time I come. One of the bowls they gave me was a little dirty and some of the chopsticks still have a food smell, but I did a quick hot water rinse and they were ok to use (or you can ask for a new bowl too :D) . No tummy aches going home. I would be open to trying dumplings and other dishes next time.

The woman was incredibly attentive and ensured the baby's water wasn't too cold and brought scissors if we wanted to cut his food into smaller bites. The restaurant itself was very clean and welcoming! The orange chicken was the star of the meal , well balance and perfectly crispy. We got the lamb dumpling which were extra juicy and the pork and cabbage dumplings were a classic. Homemade chili crisp oil was available at the table. Please consider supporting this local business the next time you're in the mood for Asian food!

Outstanding dinner! We were so pleased to have seen all the positive Yelp reviews about this…read morerestaurant and the reviewers were right on. Food and service were incredible. The server was the sweetest person and she helped us order. We ended up with a nice assortment: - Zha Jiang noodles - Tofu, mushroom & basil potstickers - Hot chili wontons The server was attentive and helped make us feel like very special guests. I'm sure she makes everyone feel that way. She communicates with the chef and they got our order perfect (no onions). The zha jiang noodles were our favorite. The texture of the noodles was bouncy and perfectly cooked and the veggies were fresh and neatly sliced. This dish has impressive qualities and the flavors were well balanced. The hot chili wontons had a nice kick to them and not too spicy. The potstickers are a good vegetarian option and the tofu, mushroom and basil worked well together and that butterfly made out of carrots was gorgeous. I hear the chef makes them by hand. Thank you to the server for helping us with our order and being so kind. Our dinner was superb. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. We will definitely be back next time we're in town.

It was early dinner time on a Friday evening and it wasn't overly crowded. All 6 of us got different items and overall it's a matter of preference for what kind of broth and protein you'd like that depicts the meal, the toppings are generally all the same. Consider this place to almost be a "make your own ramen" type of thing, in that you're given a platter of toppings to add to your bowl of steaming hot broth, mix it and let it sit, then voila! It's ready to eat. For a rainy winter evening, it was perfect to have some tasty noodle soup!

Loved this place and was so excited to try it out! I really love the environment inside as well…read moreit's super laid back but also looks pretty well kept for a nice outing with loved ones. The service was really good, they are super on top of cleaning and serving so my food came out in about 15-20 minutes. I got the combo with an appetizer, drink, and noodle soup. The portions were pretty generous. -grapefruit tea: thought it was pretty yummy! I also tried out the super fruit tea and i really liked it but personally found it to be a little too sweet. Not too much to displease though! I mixed some water and it was perfect for me. -tomato beef brisket noodle soup: i was surprised by how tender the meat was and how much they actually give you. If you love tomato soups as much as i do then it's definitely a great option! -takoyaki & lamb skewers: my sister had one dish from her combo order and i has my own but was able to try both! The lamb skewers were a bit smaller than expected but were flavorful with a fragrant aroma. The takoyaki came in about 5 balls and while they didn't include all typical takoyaki toppings it was still pretty good considering it came as a combo! Overall, i really loved coming by this place, my main concern is that it's actually in a pretty busy plaza so parking can be a little difficult during peak business hours. Otherwise it's located in a really great area relatively close to some shopping areas such as the Livermore outlets or even other smaller shopping plazas. Give this place a try if you're in the area and looking for a good eat without breaking the wallet!

It's great, I have no complaints about Ssam…read more Located in a plaza, there's enough parking to go all around and free, too. My friends and I came here for dinner on a Saturday night and I really appreciate the fact that they allow you to join their waitlist on their website. They have different tiers available, but there was enough choices on their Premium tier that we didn't feel the need to upgrade it to Supreme. Service was on top of things whether it was bringing us more dishes or refilling our water, and they changed the grill frequently. Overall, the cuts of the meat were great, the sauces at the table helped, and ordering is convenient with the tablet at the table. Ssam is a repeat visit for sure.

If you don't want to do AYCE, they also offer an A La Carte menu. I would recommend going with the Supreme for AYCE so you have the wagyu options. Another bonus here that I haven't seen at other places is that you can get half or full orders of each meat in case you're not sure if you'll like it or be able to finish it all. The Garlic Soy Beef Belly is a MUST GET! If you have room for dessert, they also have AYCE Asian ice cream flavors! Of all the AYCE KBBQ places in the Bay, this place ranks top 3 in my books! There's just so many options and for quality, the price is totally worth paying for.
