    A4. Fried Pork Roll A4. 台式雞捲

    Overall a good choice for the mall. We tried a variety of things and would get them all besides the popcorn chicken. The popcorn chicken wasn't bad, it just wasn't as good as Shinlin which is down the hall. The fried rice is made to order so it was really good. You can't replicate a good gas wok when making fried rice. The flavor is just better! Definitely will come back at some time.

    Food I ordered here was mid. I expected more for the prices they charge for soups. I ordered pork chop noodle soup with extra veggies and extra spicy. The handmade noodles were undercooked, they had no chew to them at all. The pork chop was dry and weirdly sweet. The one thing that redeemed the dish was the extra spicy broth. Had a nice bit of numbing spice to it. Wintermelon lemonade was also pretty good. Overall, I wouldn't choose this option at the food court again.

    We are big fans of the Oakridge mall food court. I have tried almost all the food stalls at the food court except for a few. Now I can cross off Duan's Kitchen off the list. We arrived for a Saturday early dinner at Duan's Kitchen. The food stall is located at the Oakridge mall in San Jose. Parking is easy and accessible in the large parking lot surrounding the mall. We ordered shrimp fried rice, popcorn chicken, shrimp dumplings and shrimp siu mai. Everything is delicious and tasted like they came from an authentic dim sum restaurant. My favorite was the popcorn chicken which was crispy and tender. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Duan's Kitchen. The staff was friendly and helpful. We don't have to just go to a dim sum restaurant to have some legit dim sum food. We can just go to the mall and straight to the food court at Oakridge for some tasty dim sum. We will definitely be back to try the other food items on the menu.

    I had a craving for Taiwanese braised ground pork rice and my Yelp directions took me straight to the Oakridge Mall in San Jose. It's a place located in my the food court. The restaurant has several meal choices, with side favorites like xai long bao. The pork bento box was quite tasty, with braised ground pork, vegetables, small egg roll, kimchi, sweet steamed bread, and I also ordered the popcorn chicken as a side dish. Try it out if you're shopping at the mall!

    Located in the main eatery area at Oakridge mall. We picked Duan's Kitchen since we never had and the items on the menu looked appetizing. We placed our order on the kiosk and realized there was an add on deal so we opted for that. For 2 we ordered: - Beef Meat Sauce Bento: 2.5/5 - the eggrolls were drenched in oil and soggy; the bun was okay, only had half of one; the bokchoy and kimchi were good; the meat to rice ratio was a bit sad.. we had barely any meat to even finish the rice. - Popcorn Chicken: 3.5/5 - big pieces, not bad but not great Overall, it was okay wish we didn't have to waste/toss away ~20% of the food.

    Had a good time trying out this place with my mom and sister on a Wednesday evening around 6:30 pm. Not busy whatsoever that there wasn't anyone lingering around waiting for food, so I easily placed my dine in order. They have a variety of soups, bento boxes, and rice based dishes from pork, beef, or chicken. They have a bright lit signs that attract the eyes of shoppers to become diners. It took about 10 minutes for the food, so I was happy with the speed of service. We ordered a bento box, beef soup, and pork fried rice. I was very impressed by the bento box since it was only $10 but had a great variety of kimchi, bok choy, one eggroll, kimchi, 2 fried buns, and meat and rice. The kimchi was refreshing and not too strong. The fried buns were a bit hard but had great flavor from the condensed milk coating. The eggrolls weren't special, reminded me of Panda Express. The soup was underwhelming. The noodles and broth were under seasoned. Good portions but quality wasn't great. The pork fried rice could have been crispier and the rice was okay.

    It's great to have authentic Taiwanese food at a mall location. Their hand made wide noodles are delicious and their dumplings are spot on as well.

    We came on a busy Saturday afternoon. The whole mall is very new & we really like the original location of DCZ in Cupertino, the ordering process was super fast they had a tablet with the photos of items. We did like that there was the beef noodle soup (which honestly is probably their best dish which NO other food appt and we ended up ordering the pork chop fried rice (get this it's freshly prepared!!) compared to panda tbh this is freshly cooked and panda is just sitting under a heatlamp. The ambiance was definitely trying to be fast casual but I do think DCZ in Cupertino sit down style is stilll my fave ambiance for this food :)

    Food court setting really degraded the quality of the noodle soup here. Soup wasn't flavorful. Should just stick with the restaurant version

I asked the server if it could be cooked a bit longer, but she explained that it was supposed to be pink. I tried a small piece, but the texture was still very tender, which made me uncomfortable. It also didn't have the texture of what I expected from beef. My cousin also had an issue with her bowl. The lotus root slices were cut fairly thick, so after cooking, it was still undercooked and crunchy.

The meat was tender and juicy and there was so much of it as well. The base dish came with rice cakes but I should have ordered extra as most of it was gone half way through the meal. The Mul Naengmyeon was cold and refreshing, especially after eating the galbijjim. The restaurant itself is pretty small so the waiters do try to rush you along in order to turn over the tables, but they also worked very hard to make sure your meal was satisfying. They also packed away the left overs in a heat sealed container so it wouldn't spill in the car and keeps for a while in your fridge. Overall a very pleasant experience if you come early enough and don't have to wait in line.

The AYCE runs for 90 minutes and is $24.99 during lunch and $30.95 during dinner time. They also charge for leftover food which is $6 per lb. We ended up doing the normal one pot hot pot for each person.    I always get my usual lamb hot pot which already comes with vermicelli noodles and choose rice as my free side dish. There are various levels of spiciness and I chose extra spicy which is a level down from there flaming spicy from what I can recall. Honestly it was not spicy enough but I did not want to get the spiciest level in fear that it would be too oily. Perhaps I will try that the next time to see if it is.    They have a bar further in the back of the restaurant where you can get creat your sauce and get some garnishes for your hot pot. I also noticed they have some other sides like noodles and such next to it. It seems if you are not participating in AYCE you can still get sauces and garnishes but I am not sure about the other sides.    The interior has changed from the last time I came here and it looks nice! Service was standard and everyone was nice. It does feel more chaotic now that they have AYCE but that  is understandable.
