D2. Tomato With Fried Egg Noodle Soup
Pranathi B.

*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.

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.

C1. Braised Beef Shank & Tendon Noodle Soup
Crystal L.

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

A9. Wontons With Chili Oil Sauce
Cody T.

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.

Beef noodle soup with handmade noodles
Yee F.

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!

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.

G8. Pork Meat Sauce On Rice
Sarah K.

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.

H1. Braised Dish Platter
Caroline L.

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.

Stephen C.

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.

Combo Set for 2 + Wood Ear Mushroom Salad + Spicy Wontons
Bre C.

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.

C3. Braised Beef Shank Noodle Soup
Tiffany W.

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! It was so flavorful and mouthwatering. Would be back for the pork chop :) the restaurant interior was also comfortable and brightly lit.

Packaged noodles. Beef noodle.
Dang L.

Ordered door dash. Food came well packaged with broth separated from noodles - really important for noodle taste. Over all flavors is great. Beef is really tender. Enough noodles to make you full but only had 3 small pieces if the beef. I feel it could use another 1-3 pieces like in the pictures. I did like that they include veggies

Braised Dish Platter
Helen C.

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.

We were looking to catch up in person on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. All tables were full and there were a couple of other parties waiting inside when we walked in, but the wait for a table was not bad at all. It is on the noisier side since the clientele is primarily Asian, and service tends to be short since that's what would be considered authentic. I got the beef noodle soup with the wide noodles since it was a chilly day and I wanted something warm. In the past I've gotten the tomato and eggs sauce noodles, which was very tasty and not a bad option for a hot day as the noodles themselves come out cold. Make sure to bring some floss if you get the beef noodle soup, some of the meat gets stuck in my teeth every time. Service does tend to be short so don't expect anyone to wait around for you to order or extra pleasantries. But this isn't surprising given the type of restaurant so it didn't detract from the meal. The check comes to you when you're about done so there is no need to flag anyone down after finishing. I would definitely revisit if I have cash on hand and am in the area. I would recommend this spot to anyone interested in authentic Chinese noodles, hot or cold.

TLDR: Food here is always yummy. Portions are a good size…read more They offer some set noodle soup bowls.. but my preference is to select exactly what I want for my noodle soup. First you select a broth (I don't do spicy, so I always pick their chicken broth; but friends and family enjoy the spicy flavors a lot). Then you pick your style of noodle (the fish noodle was fun to try, but I prefer the ramen or the knife-cut or rice noodles). Then you pick your toppings - a large variety of both meat and veggie options! It comes with a little veggies (spinach, corn, mushroom, bamboo) too. My favorite appetizer is their rice spicy honeycomb tripe - great marinade! Recently tried the Hainan chicken dish and it was good too (though I would prefer more ginger than scallion in the oil and the roasted peanuts, garlic cucumber are yummy too!). In the past we have also had the fried rice, which my kiddos really love. But the true highlight is to get the "large" soup noodles where they serve it in a bowl larger than your whole head. Didn't get it this past visit because we weren't that hungry... but it is always a fun order! I enjoy having the treat of a drink with their combo deal. :)

Today I came in for dine-in, and the experience was honestly one of the worst I've had. First, after being seated, someone asked what I wanted to drink but didn't explain the options clearly and walked away before I could even answer. During the entire meal, nobody followed up and I didn't even get water. The ordering experience overall felt rushed and unfriendly. After I finished eating, I asked for a to-go box. They just dropped it on the table, and while I was packing my food, someone immediately came over asking for payment, so I had to stop what I was doing. The payment system is now on an iPad with a default 18% tip suggestion. I still selected 15%, even though the service had already been disappointing. Then came the final straw. Since my leftover food had soup in it, I politely asked if I could get a plastic bag because I didn't want it leaking in my car. They told me it would cost 10 cents. After years of coming here and also all restaurants in bay areas I ever had none of them asked money for a plastic bag, after paying for food and tipping, getting charged extra for a simple bag felt ridiculous, especially only finding out after payment was already done. The whole experience felt careless, unfriendly, and frustrating. It completely ruined my mood and honestly ruined my day. After being a customer for years, this experience was enough to make me decide I won't be coming back. I should give 0 tips but worried as I am only myself, they will do something ridiculous. :(

Surprisingly, the normal Dan Dan noodles ("special sesame dry noodle") were quite bad. The beef and tendon noodle soup is not bad, decent for when I was sick. There is a "beef and tendon noodle soup" as well as a "beef only noodle soup" on the menu - you might think the beef only one would be better value and have more meat, I ordered both to see the difference - even though the meat only one does have more meat, the meat is more tough and very hard to chew.

Please tell me how the pancake look brown and crispy on the outside and still comes out cold and not crispy at all. My nephew even said they weren't crispy and he's 3. The lady told us that the sauce on the inside was salty and that's why they don't give extra and man was she right. 1/5* The beef noodles soup itself flavor wise was good and portion wise it was good for $21, but my noodles had no chew to them at all. I was attempting to pick them up with chopsticks and they would just break into pieces. They do give a decent amount of beef though in this. 2.5/5* for the flavor but don't expect much from the noodles. Same thing went for the works, it was a peanut buttery sauce that the lady claimed wasn't spicy, but my parents noticed that it had a kick to it even though they asked for it not to be spicy. The egg is a nice touch but not too sure if it's worth the price. Noodle consistency was the same as the beef noodle soup. 2.5/5*

Adding some of the soy sauce at the table gave some savory sweetness to the dish which I recommend. Sampan Congee - Flavor was really good, and the peanuts were a great add to this given its crispy texture and savory taste. The congee itself was pretty standard and not the most velvety texture I'd prefer, but still pretty decent. Curry fish balls and pork skin - has a kick, decent curry flavor. No complaints as it was pretty good fish balls and pork skin. Service was super fast and friendly. Would recommend if you're craving some congee and rice noodles.

My friend told me about MingKee for the rice rolls and wow he was right. The thinnest and lightest…read morerice rolls I've had in the South Bay. It's such a comforting and warm meal. Filled with my favorites I can't even compare the taste and quality. It's also such an affordable meal, if you're looking for something that gives you a warm hug Mingkee is the place to go. I hope to return soon and eat more yummy rice rolls and congee.
