Great noodles and side dishes! The waiters are great too always nice and attentive. Love the atmosphere too.

My kids love the tomato beef noodles and cucumber dishes here. We were sad the Fremont location closed, so we ended up driving 30 minutes to Cupertino just to get their favorites. read more

My favorite place to get beef noodles in the Bay Area. Super tender and flavorful beef. Love the chewiness of the thick wide noodles. Broth is amazing too. The food comes out pretty fast and service here is nice. read more

I got the braised beef shank noodle soup and handmade noodles were sooo chewy and yummy but there were only like 5 noodles in there and like 4 pieces of beef shank. The beef shank was pretty tender tho and the broth was flavorful. The popcorn chicken was alright, it was a little bit dry. The chili wontons were also alright, not amazing but not bad. Not sure if I'd be back because the portion size for the price is just not worth it :/ read more

Had this place bookmarked for awhile and left very disappointed. Three of us ordered beef noodle soups and the proportions were really off - it felt like the bowls were mostly broth with maybe 4 or 5 hand pulled noodles and just a few pieces of beef. For ~$20 a bowl, that's outrageous. I actually left feeling hungry! The service was decent and I felt bad that there were only 2 servers working that day. They definitely needed more people on the floor. However, they did the best they could so I give them props. In summary, not worth checking out for beef noodle soup. There are other places with much more filling and tasty bowls! read more

They serve solid Taiwanese beef noodle soup. I really like their hand made noodles. It's semi thick and has a nice bit to it. This location offers a lot of parking. If you get certain menu items, they offer a small discount on certain appetizers if you pair them together. We also tried the century egg and tofu appetizer since we saw that it was popular, I thought it was just ok but it was mainly the sauce. Sauce just wasn't for me. Definitely would come back and try their other noodles! read more

4.5 rounded up We got 2 items for takeout. They were promptly ready and packaged really nicely. The interior looks nice as well and we would love to dine in in the future. Pork chop fried rice 4.5/5 - This dish is a classic and did not disappoint. Pork chop was tender and nicely fried. But the star of the dish is def the fried rice. It was delicious - very savory and well balanced. Despite being more of a noodle person, my husband preferred this dish and devoured it. Pork meat sauce dry noodle with handmade noodles 4/5 - It was a good dish overall. The meat sauce was delicious, like a lu rou fan type of flavor. However, the meat to noodles ratio wasn't great. The handmade noodles were the thick type and while they're well made, I don't think they go well with this dry dish (they prob would be better in the soup dishes). I wish we got the thin noodles instead. Glad we finally tried this place and we'll def be back. If the lu rou fan tastes similar to the meat sauce on the noodles, then I def want to try that next time read more

Haven't been here for a while so I decided to come back and see if it has any menu changes. Overall it is still very similar. Their food is still as good. I got another hot noodle soup. Broth is flavorful and delicious. Their pork cutlet is really really good. Service is ok. They are attentive and are willing to help. The restaurant is a big place. It is clean and spacious. Will return. read more

Swung by after an apartment viewing on a Saturday afternoon for an early dinner. It was busy around 5pm but after 30 minutes, it was packed! Definitely felt assured after the crowd came through. We ordered the pork chop fried rice, beef combo noodle soup, and the wonton with chili sauce. Everything came out so tasty and savory! The decor inside was also super comforting and clean. Definitely someplace I would come for a comfortable meal. 5/5 dinner! Expected to be a regular moving forward. read more

I'm a fan ! Duan's is my Asian comfort food ! The dishes are flavorful and give the homey vibes. Like I wanna be eating this bowl of soup on my couch in a blanket. Flavorful rich broth with the perfect pair of braised soft beef with tendon and chewy noodles. Praise the braise ! The mushrooms were delicious !! We got the braised trio which complimented our soup very well for the added protein. The pork chop fried rice was soo good. Perfect amount of salt and oil. I'd be fine with just the rice itself. Crispy and cooked just right, not dry at all. Short wait on a Saturday though it looked busy. Staff was quick. Would come again read more

Delicious beef noodle soup and fried rice! The broth is super rich and savory, you can tell it's been simmering for a while, and the noodles had that perfect chew. Fried rice came out hot and a little smoky, every bite had egg and veggies, not was not greasy at all! Staff was chill, food came fast, and prices felt fair. Low-key place I'd totally come back to when I'm craving comfort food. read more

We had a party of 9 and were seated pretty quickly. Orders were taken quickly, chopsticks and napkins arrived shortly after, and the food right after that. Ordered #1 with handmade noodles. The broth is flavorful with a hint of heat that tickles the back of your throat. The handmade noodles had a fantastic chew to them and were cooked just right. The brisket and tendon were tender and delicious, and the waiters were very kind and efficient. We had a friend from Taiwan with us and he said the food was "legit", so that underscores the positive review! Will definitely come back when we're in town! read more

3.5 star Good and responsive wait service. But we felt that the speed of food delivery had slowed down. We waited longer for the food to come out, and it was puzzling especially because our orders were their popular items. We haven't been here for awhile. Since the kiddo missed their Century Egg Tofu, we return for a weekend lunch. The Century Egg and Tofu is as good as before but we only regretted that the menu had changed and they no longer offer a combo meal including an appetizer. Nevertheless, we still enjoyed the dish, and kiddo enjoyed her beef noodle stir fry. I tried their traditional flavor combo that came with a bowl of beef soup, a bowl of minced pork over rice and a plate of lettuce with sauce. It's indeed an all-time favorite that can't go wrong with my kiddie taste buds. The beef soup is just a clear broth with a few slices of beef but the meat portions are reasonable and the flavor is good as the Taiwanese cuisine likes to use ginger to wash away the bloody taste of beef. The half meat half tendon beef noodle soup came out the latest and compared to the Flaming Ox Taiwanese Noodle in San Jose, we could immediately tell the difference. I don't particularly enjoy the flavor of the Sichuan pepper, so I don't appreciate their 23 spices recipe. The tendon was cooked nicely but the beef was clearly losing to Flaming Ox as the cut was smaller and the meat much rougher. As usual, this place was packed at lunch hour, so be here before 12 is still a sound advice. read more

We arrived right at opening for dinner on a Saturday and already saw families flocking in, so it clearly has strong word-of-mouth appeal. The menu is extensive but not overwhelming, and everything we ordered came out surprisingly fast, keeping the energy high even as it got busy. We tried a good variety, including century egg, fried chicken, fried fish cakes, noodles, and rice dishes. I enjoyed all of them, though they leaned on the sweeter side overall, which gave the whole meal a cohesive, indulgent vibe. A Taiwanese person in our party noted that the flavors felt more like "fast food" style Taiwanese eats rather than traditional home cooking, and he found it too sweet for his taste. Still, that perspective added to the fun of sharing different takes on the food. It does get packed quickly, so plan accordingly, but the speedy service means table turnover isn't too long. Plenty of parking in the plaza makes it easy to access, especially for larger groups or families. read more

Duan’s Kitchen - Spicy beef noodles - Noodles Near Me - Cupertino, California

*USP: sichuan style noodle soups, dumplings, fried rice. *Ambiance: clean, contemporary and large. Service is friendly and quick as well. *Food: across the board the flavors were clean. Not a single dish was overpowering or in our face. *popcorn chicken : was different compared to other places, I felt the flavors were similar to cumin lamb. *Duans dry noodles : meatless dry noodles tossed in a spicy oil. The crunch from the few peanuts, the creaminess of the boiled egg and the heat from the spic mix along with the noodles made this absolutely delectable. *tomato noodle soup: the fried egg in this dish was surprisingly chewy, a little salt could have completely elevated the dish but it was still pretty decent. Simple flavors and nothing over complicating it. *chicken noodle soup: I think this dish represents "chicken soup for the soul". Not funky at all. I needed some heat though and threw in the chilli oil I requested as a side. *shrimp fried rice: not the fried rice of my dreams. No umami goodness. But, as with other dishes, simple no nonsense recipe. read more

I thought this place was pretty standard for beef noodle soup but they don't give you as much of the protein. The soup is flavorful. We came a couple times over the years and each time the service did take some time both to order and also to receive the food. The portion of apps got a bit bigger over time which reflects the image on the menu more which is good. There's a good amount of parking as well. read more

This weekend was my first time dining at Duan's Kitchen, and it did NOT disappoint! We ordered the combo for 2 and it was a steal! $54 gets you 2 cold drinks of your choice, we chose Milk Tea and Four Seasons Tea, Beef Noodle soup with Shank and Tendon, Shrimp Fried Rice, Pork Chop, and Steamed Veggies. There was even another promo if you chose between downloading their app and signing up, you get another free fried pork chop. I downloaded the app but opted for the complimentary Wood Ear Mushroom salad instead for variety. The service was good, we came in when it was quite empty and within 15 minutes of sitting down, it quickly became a full house. Still, we were given pretty good service and can't complain! The vibes feel very homey and nostalgic. It feels like dining in at a close relative's place. That's also how the food makes you feel. Beef Shank and Tendon Noodle Soup w/ Handmade Noodles - 8.5/10 - Wishing it was a fattier cut of beef, and not a big fan of the tendon, but the broth and handmade noodles blew me away! Very comforting. Shrimp Fried Rice - 9/10 - My girlfriend's favorite. Even after my girlfriend told me she was full, she kept eating more and more. I also loved it. Perfect seasoning and flavor. Pork Chop - 7/10 - Very good flavor. Wish it was a little crispier though. Spicy Wontons - 6/10 - Not my favorite. I think I'll opt out for XLB next time. Steamed Veggies - 7/10 - Super flavorful. I thought it was some Chinese vegetable at first, but it was lettuce! I didn't know you can make it like that. Pickled Cucumber - 9/10 - Simple and good Wood Ear Mushroom Salad - 9.5/10 - Something about this flavor profile was so complex and yummy! Teas - 9/10 - Super comforting with our meals :) Overall, great experience! We'll be back. read more

This is the second time we've been here. Service is generally courteous and quick. We were looking to find good Taiwanese style beef noodle. The noodles here were decent. The braised beef was on the dry side which was a little disappointing. The tendon was great. Shrimp and egg friend rice was on point. Marinated lu Wei platter was quite yummy. The weird thing is they didn't have a bilingual menu and only offered an English menu. It was hard to decipher from English menu what we were looking for. We couldn't figure out what the conspiracy could be but not having a Chinese menu seemed shady. read more

Had to try the hand pulled noodles soup! The thick noodles had a chewy texture, which I loved. I opted for the shank noodle soup and it was very tender. I must say my favorite was the pork chop!

Went for dinner around 6PM at Duan's Kitchen on a Saturday and there was an iPad to join quite a long queue. Luckily, a lot of folks on the waitlist no-showed, so we only waited about 10 minutes, but I can definitely see the wait time getting pretty high on weekends. Parking lot is shared with Marina Foods, so it's fairly easy to get a spot especially if you park a bit further out. Portion sizes are okay; if you're a big eater, you might want to order some sides. Tomato Beef Shank & Tendon Noodle Soup (4.25/5): This was actually better than the basic beef noodle soup in my opinion. The broth had way more depth of flavor with a bit of added sweetness and acidity from the tomato. Beef shank and tendon were both super soft and the noodles weren't quite as bouncy as I'd like, but still had a decent chew. Braised Beef Noodle Soup & Tendon (3.75/5): The broth just felt a little bland and the noodles / toppings are the same as above. Braised Dish Platter (3.75/5): The tofu is AMAZING. Super flavorful and silky texture all the way through. Unfortunately, the braised beef on the plate is pretty dry, because otherwise the oyster mushrooms are nice and chewy as well. read more

I'm always excited to try new Taiwanese spots! Duan's has a pretty extensive menu of Taiwanese classics like beef noodle soup, pork chop over rice, and dumplings. We order two noodle dishes and a side of pork chop. The portions aren't huge here, so you could probably order a third dish if you want! -Beef noodle soup: our favorite out of everything we ordered! The broth is the star, lots of flavor and herbs. The noodles are also nicely cooked. Wish there was slightly more meat though! -Pork chop: we got a side of pork chop because we didn't think we could fit another carb. It's nicely seasoned and fried. It's a little thinner than other pork chops we've had, but it's light and appetizing. -Pork meat dry sauce: we didn't see too many people order this but wanted to give it a shot since we love dry noodles. The noodles and toppings are really good, but we didn't love the sauce. Will probably skip this next time! Service is fast and efficient. Excited to come back and try more dishes! read more

My friend recommended this place and I have been wanting to try it ever since. We arrived around 6:45 and it was packed. We put our names on the waitlist. Luckily it moved pretty fast and we were seated within 10 minutes. We ordered: Pork chop: 5/5 pretty good, heavy spice flavor. Thought it would have been more crispier. 2 Beef shank and tendon noodle soup: 4/5 good flavor broth. Shank texture was ok, tendon was good, stein 5 spice here too. My kids liked the thick cut noodles more than thin. Served warm, would have been better hot. Chicken noodle soup: 4/5 good mild flavor. Served warm. Would have been better hot. Xlb: 5/5 really really good! Thin wrapping, good amount of soup, good flavor meat. We even ran into friends here. Pretty popular spot! read more

Tasty Taiwanese food! Their signature item is the braised beef noodle soup, which the broth is supposedly cooked for 16 hours. The broth tasted like though but we enjoyed the braised beef and noodles. The braised platter was another item we really enjoyed. It had a variety of tofu, tripe, mushrooms that had been braised in a flavorful sauce. The spicy wontons were a good item to order. If you're hungry, consider ordering the combo sets. The combo for 2 includes two entrees, 3 sides and 2 drinks. read more

Rating: 3.5/5 Ordered: Original XLB - it was eh--not bad, just ok. The wrapper was a bit too thick for my liking. Braised Beef Shank Noodle Soup - ordered this dish with hand-made noodles and they were cooked perfectly. They were silky, had a nice chew to it, and were thick long pieces. The broth was light, flavorful, and had a nice lil kick of spice to it that wasn't too overpowering which I enjoyed. The pieces of meat were tender, although I wish they added more pieces to the dish. I believe the overall dish only included 3 strands of the beef shank and had a lot of broth. The ratio of meat, broth, and noodles could be improved. But, as an overall dish--it was very comforting and tasty and I wouldn't mind ordering it again. Beef Brisket Dry Noodle - ordered this dish with flat noodles which were cooked perfectly. The overall dish as a whole was pretty solid and enjoyable, however I do wish that the brisket pieces had a bit of fat since they were more meaty. The added egg, bok choy, green onions, and peanuts really accompanied the dish well. Pork Chop Fried Rice - the overall dish is solid, but definitely had better elsewhere. The pork chop was tender, but the breading lacked the crisp/crunch texture. The pork chop also had a sweet taste to it which was different, but I wasn't opposed to it. The pork chop paired well with the fried rice which was also good on its own. Service was great, the overall restaurant has a ton of seating, and it's well kept/clean. Portion sizes are small for the price. However, I'm not opposed to coming back and trying other dishes. read more

Yummy beef noodle soup! I think this is probably my go to for beef noodle soup at the moment. I typically like their non tomato based beef noodle soup with beef shank and thin noodles. The broth is rich and flavorful, and it too spicy. Beef is tender! Another dish we often will order is fried rice with either shrimp or pork chops. My husband and I both like Din Tai Fung's fried rice and also pork chop better, but this place is pretty good with rarely any wait. We've ordered a few of their appetizers (mostly cold ones), but I haven't really liked any of them. The 4 stars is mostly for the beef noodle soup. Everything else is 3-3.5. Vibes are casual and family friendly. Speaking of Djn Tai Fung earlier, it almost feels like a casual version of that. Service is pretty efficient, and food comes out pretty quickly which is nice. I come back here every time I crave beef noodle soup! read more

I kept seeing this place on XHS and decided to stop by for Saturday lunch. The restaurant was still super busy at 1PM with a virtual waitlist you check into when you arrive. However, the table turnover is fast so we waited only about 5-8min even with 7 parties in front of us. This place serves Taiwanese food and specializes in Beef Noodle Soup. Everything we ordered was really good, from the soup to the XLB to the braised side dishes. My group's favorite was actually the popcorn chicken! It was fried perfectly and so flavorful. The soup in the chicken noodle soup and the beef noodle soup were also amazing. The chicken broth was more subtle but very comforting - it would seem like a good recovery meal after a fun night out :) Parking is plentiful in the big parking lot. Great option for Taiwanese in the area. XHS is reliable! read more

Definitely coming here for authentic Taiwanese beef noodle soup! We had beef brisket noodle soup. I love how clear and savory the broth is. Doesn't feel heavy or oily at all. My second favorite is their traditional braised platter. It's a signature Taiwanese dish that has assorted mushrooms, tofu, beef tripes. First I was hesitant but then this dish had me going. I love the tofu and mushrooms part. Lastly I love how delicious their pork chops fried rice is. Pork chopped is crispy and fried rice is savory. It's our family favorite dish. We definitely be coming back soon. read more

Have loved all the dishes I've tried here, and I feel like prices are quite reasonable too. First visit I tried the simmered chicken broth noodle soup, fried pork chop, and steamed veggies. Love the thick, chewy hand pulled noodles and the chicken broth. The fried rice and wontons here are also quite good, but the pork meat sauce dry noodle might be my favorite. It's been quite busy here both times I've went, wait times seem to vary based on day and time but were under 30 min both times. The restaurant is very clean and modern inside. read more
