Every time I come to shop at the mall or come to watch the movies! My go to is the spicy wontons! Sooo goood!!!

After moving to the Bay Area, I honestly felt like almost everything I'd tried was pretty mediocre, so I came in with very low expectations. Duan's Kitchen completely blew me away. The meat sauce was incredibly authentic and tasted just like the Taiwanese flavors I grew up with. It instantly reminded me of my childhood!!! rich, comforting, and absolutely oozing with flavor. Every bite felt homemade. I would 100% come back. In fact, I'm already craving it, and I literally just finished eating. I might even come back tomorrow. If you're looking for authentic Taiwanese comfort food, this place is definitely worth a visit. I haven't tried the beef noodle yet but that's on my list next!! read more

I'm honestly surprised this place has such good reviews. I've been here a few times in the past and remember the food was decent, but we went back again today when we were at Oakridge and did not have a good time! The spicy wontons were decent and juicy, but they were extremely spicy so I couldn't eat much of it. Yes, I know spicy is in the name lol, but it was much spicer than I expect from a traditional Taiwanese spicy wonton dish. Popcorn chicken was overcooked and very bland. The beef brisket DRY noodle was perhaps taken too literally because the beef was the driest and most flavorless beef I've ever had in a Taiwanese dish. Like, I could not eat more than a few bites because it tasted like chewy sandpaper. The noodles were pretty good though, mixed into the sauce. It was a very disappointing lunch but based off the many good reviews, maybe it was an off day. The employees looked like they didn't care at all so perhaps that's why the food was like this today. read more

I had a wonderful experience at Dian's Kitchen. The food was absolutely delicious, with rich, authentic flavors that really stood out in every dish. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the ingredients and the preparation. The service was also warm and welcoming, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, and everything felt smooth and well-organized. Overall, Dian's Kitchen is a great spot for anyone looking for comforting, flavorful food and a pleasant atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Good food and amazing shank soup! Love their variety of their menu and the staff is really attentive.

Duan's was a great option for mall food. I ordered the beef brisket noodle soup with thin noodles, which also came with a side of spring rolls. The dish was delicious, but the broth lacked some flavor. Adding some chili sauce improved it significantly. The noodles were cooked to perfection, and the beef was tender. Overall, it was a great value for money and a satisfying meal. read more

Duan’s Kitchen - Pork Chop fried rice taste good - Noodles Near Me - San Jose, California

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

The dim sum and spicy wontons are my favorite. It's a welcome change to the typical food court offering and very flavorful. Service could use some work, I tried to ask about my order to one of the cooks and they put their hand up and didn't respond. Assuming language barrier. I'll return when craving something different. read more

Checked out this catering spot on Blossom Hill after a friend used them for a small gathering, and I was seriously impressed. Quality of the food was way above typical party trays -- everything tasted fresh, seasoned just right, and not greasy at all. You can tell they actually care about ingredients and consistency. Guests kept going back for seconds, which says a lot :) Service was smooth, pickup was on time, and portions were generous without feeling like cheap bulk food. Solid choice if you want your event food to actually stand out! read more

We travel from Orange county SCA to here .and choose Taiwanese famous Duan's Noddle soup. But unfortunately after we test the Noddle soup.the Bowl are plastic.and spon like baby spon.no any felling this is Taiwan Noddle soup.and we order on Monday at 11:40AM waiting 20 min to get my Noddle. Too long read more

I came today at lunch and it took 16 minutes to fulfill the order. It wasn't complicated. They had one worker who was going at a very leisurely pace to put it nicely. Which I can't blame her if she's the only person why should she rush around? But anyway, the food took so long. I couldn't eat it fresh I had to take it home. read more

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 :) read more

Food was delicious and the service was excellent, great price as well. I will come back again.

Stopped in at 925 Blossom Hill Rd with a friend after hearing about this catering spot, and wow, delicious food for real. The food here was so good, especially the popcorn chicken - crispy outside, super juicy inside, just the right kick of seasoning. Honestly the best I ever had, no joke. We kept "taste-testing" and suddenly the plate was gone lol :) Portions were solid, everything came out hot and fresh, and it felt like a great spot to grab food for a small get-together. 100% go here! read more

I love their food. especially the popcorn chicken, which is always crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The lemonade is just as impressive: fresh, refreshing, and the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Every visit feels satisfying, and these two items keep me coming back. read more

First time here at Duan's Kitchen in Oakridge Mall, and unfortunately it was not a great experience. I ordered the brisket noodle, and while the presentation looked decent, the taste was very disappointing. The broth lacked depth and flavor and tasted very bland, almost like it was missing seasoning or spices. A good noodle soup should be rich and comforting, but this one fell flat. The brisket itself was tender, but it didn't have much flavor either, which made the dish feel unfinished. Even adding condiments didn't help much. The noodles were okay, but without a flavorful broth, the whole meal felt underwhelming. For Chinese food, I was really expecting bold, savory flavors, and that just wasn't the case here. Considering the location inside Oakridge Mall and the price point, I expected a lot more quality and flavor. I wanted to like this place and give it a fair chance, but this meal didn't meet expectations. Overall, the food was edible but not enjoyable, and it's not something I'd order again. Sadly, based on this experience, I won't be coming back. read more

While wandering Oakridge Mall, I suddenly craved beef noodle soup and stumbled upon this spot. I ordered the N2. Beef Shank Noodle Soup for $18. Heads-up if you're ordering through delivery apps, even for pick up, the price jumps to $21 on DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub. The food was ready in about 5 minutes and overall, it hit the spot. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the beef was tender, the bok choy had a nice crunch and the broth was comforting and satisfying. I slurped it down to the last drop. Is it worth it? I'd say yes considering it's inside a mall. It's convenient, fast and satisfying. With that said, the same price at a traditional noodle house few miles away would usually get you a bigger bowl with more beef and classic toppings such as pickled mustard greens and cilantro. read more

Sorry, I am disappointed for a bowl of 19 dollars of beef noodle soup. It was lack of taste in the broth. The popcorn chicken was better though. Could their beef noodle soups tasted better in other locations? I wounded. read more

A friend dragged me here to this little catering spot on Blossom Hill and wow, delicious food and fast service for real. Original food from Taiwan, great taste and good services. The braised beef noodle soup (红烧牛肉面) was super rich, broth full of flavor, beef so tender it almost fell apart :) Also tried the shrimp fried rice (虾仁炒饭) and the wok hei was on point, big juicy shrimp in every bite. Portions solid, staff quick and friendly. Definitely coming back for my Taiwan food fix! read more

It's 2025 and I never would have guessed that I'd be reviewing TWO hand pulled noodles restaurants in TWO separate malls! Life is good. I've been to the stand alone Duan Chun Zhen restaurant in Cupertino and thoroughly enjoyed their rich, flavorful broth with just enough portion to prevent you from overeating. I'm a big fan of that location and a coworker mentioned that their family lives in front of the original location in Taiwan. I was surprised to see this location pop up at Oakridge! Broth was the same beefy and hearty taste and I believe there were several different noodle options. I chose the thicker hand pulled noodles, which I think stands up better to the savory broth. I finished my meal, ordered another to go order for my dad, and it was packed nicely separated so the noodles wouldn't soak up the broth. Like the other noodle place I reviewed, I wish the noodles weren't served in plastic to go containers, but I understand that there are limitations to what you can do at the mall. Cheers to this location, mega props to the guy/owner? who took the time to explain the menu to me. I think it is important to have at least one person around to explain such a menu. I'm going to try one of the rice dishes I've been looking at for some time now... read more

Tried Duan's Kitchen at Oakridge Mall food counter with my parents and broth. Didn't know what to expect since it was at the food court. It was a pleasant surprise. The beef and tendon were very tender, hand made thick noodles chewy, nice broth. But, my favorite was the fried rice with pork chop - the rice had really good flavor and texture , pork chop real tender. The wonton in chili oil was very flavorful. We got the meal which included an egg roll, some cucumber and a winter melon lemonade. Servers were friendly and the food was hot- it did take a little time to get the food . Give them a try read more

I tried out Duan's Kitchen located inside Oakridge mall. I had to use the kiosk to order my meal. It took about 15 minutes for my food to be ready. Xiao Long Bao - (Soup Dumplings): There was no soup inside these dumplings, and it tasted a bit dry. I enjoyed the dipping sauce which made it taste better. I would not recommend this dish. Chinese Donut - This was over fried, and it didn't have the soft chewy texture inside. It was just crunchy and dry. I would not recommend. Original beef noodle soup - I chose hand pull noodle, which was chewy. The beef was thinly sliced and not the beef shank in other Taiwanese places. The broth was lacking in flavor. It really tasted like noodles mixed in a bunch of chili oil. I would not recommend. Veggie Egg roll - This tasted ok. It reminded me of the frozen egg rolls from Costco. Overall, I was looking forward to this Taiwanese place, but it was a bit disappointing. The dishes are a bit pricey, too. read more
