    Milpitas is the spot for Noodles... In the last couple of years there are a decent amount of Chinese Noodle spots that have opened. Each one of them are slightly unique, and they're all really good! If the high ratings weren't a accurate indicator, then the packed venues are definitely a conformation. Henan Noodle isn't the biggest venue, it's actually on the smaller side; small mom & pop operation. The place is charming, clean and inviting with a minimalist decor. The restaurant is located in a small plaza off N Milpitas Blvd. I forsee challenging parking during peak times; the lot is not that big either. The service was fine. Everything necessary was already laid out on the table, well organized and ready to dine in; bowls, chopsticks, cups, napkins, soup spoons and cold water. Scan the QR code on the table and place your order. Food came out in a timely manner. I'm not sure if lady running the place (at the time of our visit) speaks English; she gave us instructions in Chinese, I'm guessing Mandarin. We had no clue what she said, but were able to figure out what she was telling us...basically the condiments are self serve, small station in the corner against the wall. #SendNoods Braised Noodle 烩面: ~ Pickled Cabbage & Black Fish with Lamb 酸菜黑鱼羊汤烩面 - 5/5 Brilliant flavor. Well balanced, not too salty, gamey or creamy. Just perfect! The pieces of fish were so tender, good amount of noodle and that pickled cabbage...just brilliant! We didn't feel the need to add anything. ~ Lamb Stew Noodle 羊肉烩面 - 4.5/5 Another banger! The broth on this one was a bit bland, while it tasted clean and healthy we thought it was lacking a bit of flavor. We added a bit of Chili oil and walah!!! Perfection... lol. At least to out pallets. Everything else was perfect. The dishes are very filling, even though they don't look that intimidating at first. I can't wait to try some of the other dishes. I'll be back!

    This place serves fantastic, deeply comforting Henan stewed noodles! The broth is extraordinarily rich and full of authentic flavor. They also offer free side dishes, which is such a generous and lovely touch. The noodles themselves have a wonderfully chewy, hand-pulled texture. On top of the great food, the restaurant is clean and well-maintained. The service is prompt, friendly, and super welcoming. I will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic taste!

    Henan Noodle is my favorite Chinese noodle spot in the Bay! Their Henan style hand pulled noodles are thick and chewy in the best way and I always get the lamb. Super tender and the broth is so good. It's rich, milky and actually packed with flavor but still really comforting. I love the self serve sides too, the pickled garlic is a must. Service is always super fast and it's tucked away on a quieter street so it feels like a lowkey hidden spot. I always come back here whenever I want something warm and satisfying.

    Ah I loved it. The noodle was hand-pulled, chewy, and cooked just right. The portion was generous and the price pretty reasonable. I like that the dish came with plenty of sauce to coat the noodles as well. THERE'S ALSO FREE SIDE DISHES including the sweet and sour garlic (糖醋蒜). It goes so well with the noodles. Great homy flavor. The only thing is the meat is pre-sliced and processed, so the texture isn't very satisfying. Considering the price though, it's understandable. The waitress was very friendly, and she spoke Mandarin as well. We ordered online from a code on the table. We went at noon time on a weekday, so it wasn't crowded at all. The food came out in about ten minutes. Clean and comfortable furnishing. Bright day light coming from the windows.

    Tiny little spot, but super clean and tidy. The owners are incredibly friendly -- they chatted with us every time they brought out a dish and even introduced the DIY sauce bar. I got the lamb stew noodles -- highly recommend! You can tell the noodles are handmade, perfectly chewy and springy. The lamb broth was rich and flavorful with a nice milky color. The sliced braised lamb came on a small side dish, and while the portions of meat and veggies weren't huge, the quality made up for it. I also ordered the stir-fried cold noodles because someone online said it tastes just like the night market version from Kaifeng. But honestly, if you're used to lighter flavors, it might not be your thing. It's basically jelly-like noodles stir-fried in soy sauce -- pretty oily and heavy. Still, I'll definitely be coming back to try other flavors of the stew noodles!

    Excellent noodles, they're extremely long and soft. They provide scissors for this exact reason. The soup and portion sizes are great as well. Will be back again!

    Henan Noodle is a small restaurant. It used to be a Shanghai restaurant before. Newly decorated, vibrant choice of color and simple decor. One unisex restroom. QR code ordering. Each table has their own sauces/condiments, carafe of ice water, etc. The service was friendly but ok. Braised Beef Noodle (3/5). Choice of two different kinds of broth. I got the original broth with kombu flavor. The broth came out super hot. Though, it was just ok and not as flavorful as I'd hope. I'd probably try the other choice next time. The noodles were long and chewy. They do provide you with some scissors for cutting the noodles into smaller bites. I didn't get any of the little side dishes pictured on the menu as you see like the peanuts, pickled vegetables, garlic, etc.

    This place is small bit even with grand opening it was still pretty full! We came around lunchtime around 12pm on Christmas. There were around 2 open tables and we took one. What we ordered: Special Egg Fried Pancake - 9/10, flavor was great but some of the pieces of pancake were a tad hard and too chewy. They are usually a little more soft in my experience but it was still really good! Cold mixed seasoned vegetables - 9/10, flavor was great and it tasted good Beef steak stew noodle - 10/10, the meat was tender and fell off the ribs and the noodles were chewy and bouncy. Soup was flavorful too! Small wonton soup - 10/10, this is my favorite dish and they really nailed it! Broth was amazing and the wontons were great Service was great and they were also able to accomodate small children with a highchair. Will definitely be coming back!

    So far so good. Clean look & easy to the eyes decor. Wait staffs are friendly & helpful. Water bottle is on every table for self service. Chopsticks & stainless steel bowls (almost Korean like) & the tables & chairs are high quality materials which matches the theme of simple & functional. For my lamb shank noodle soup, one can choose original flavor or several levels of spicy and curry flavor. Plus, there are three combo sets of veggies one can choose from. Ultimate flexibility. I chose original non-spicy and soup was delicious & not overwhelming, more like homemade. Noodle is definitely freshly made & nice softer texture. Don't leave in the soup too long, it may softens too much. The golden soup with fish & lamb slices dish: selected the original soup thinking that's the non-spicy option. We were wrong. This particular Original soup is already extra spicy and we let the management know and they were nice enough to replace the dish with a non-spicy plain vegetable noodle soup. Next time, we'l need to try all other dishes on the photo menu. We were here last night at 6pm and the wait was an hour so we tried 11:30am for lunch today and got our seats at noon. We'll be back!

    My order

    We three ordered three noodle soup bowls. Noodles tasted good. Each bowl has good amount of noodles. We ended up eating only half and took home the remaining half. Good value.

    Generous portion and tastes very authentic! The sides on the corner of the shop were so tasty. The service and quick. I would come back to eat here again!

The Chinese sausage pieces sprinkled throughout added extra flavor too. The bowl is deep so there seemed to be roughly 5 cups of rice. Unfortunately the laksa shrimp fried rice was disappointing in comparison. It didn't have much flavor overall - better than plain rice but definitely needed more seasoning. The menu lists homemade laksa sauce as an ingredient but we didn't taste that, and the dish wasn't spicy at all either despite the 1 chili pepper rating. But it looked just like the menu picture so maybe the description is wrong. Fried chicken with tom yum sauce came with 6 pieces. Very juicy. We also enjoyed the herbal roasted prime steak with sausage rice. The delicious rice had the taste of fish sauce. Most of the short rib slices were soft and a few were slightly chewy but overall decent quality. Some of the fattier pieces of meat were still attached to the bone.

It's a good thing we did because the restaurant filled up completely 5 minutes after ordering.

Both were really good but my favorite was still the shrimp. I loved the veggies in the roll too. They can be a bit hard to pick up and eat because they're massive and cut into thirds. Other than that, the rice noodles are thin and silky and hold the sauce nicely. The sauce is also delicious. We also ordered the fish congee which was simple but comforting. It comes out PIPING hot so don't burn your tongue. Fish was tender and flavorful. Overall no complaints and the service was quick. Highly recommend!

So I tried to talk to him to see if there's any other options, like Zelle or Venmo, or maybe I can go to a nearby ATM and get some cash. He ignored me and did not respond, and left. I walked around, was finally able to get a waitress who was willing to talk to me. I explained that I didn't know they only took cash and I wonder if I can pay through other ways. She pointed at the wall and told me "it says on the wall", sounding like blaming me for not getting cash ready. Yes, maybe I should have read all the signs on the wall, but I really don't enjoy being blamed when I did nothing wrong. Assuming credit cards as one of the payment methods is not my fault, just how the society works. Anyway, I was able to pay them via Venmo, but I did not enjoy the experience at all.
