Food: 4.1 = comfort food Service: 4.0 fast straight forward We've been coming here for over 20 years and not much has changed except for the occasional update of their menu (which meant they raised their prices which hasn't been that often over the years) Ordered: fried chicken wings, wonton beef stew, and Birds nest. Make sure if you want to eat the wings as an appetizer let them know when you order. Typically soups come out fast which happened on our visit (yeah, I forgot to tell them to hold the soup until the wings come out). But everyone has their favorites: beef stew with won ton and "crispy noodle" aka "bird's nest; so it's easy to order and know what to expect in food / quality. Until our next visit in the Bay Area! read more

3rd time here and will be the last. We came here because it's the only place that has mi trieu Chau in the area. Our 3rd time ordering: #8 Mi Trieu Chau egg noodle soup and #29 fried daikon cake. The egg noodle - soft and soggy! It should be chewy and crunchy. The soup is bland, has the boiled watery taste and smell of the noodle. It's like the noodles were not rinsed properly. The daikon cake does not have daikons. After the 3rd time I finally pointed this out to the server, he checked with the lady owner and she said that it's additional add on. Overall: The service - fast and workers here are sweet (5 stars), The food - bland and inconsistent, I'd like my daikons since the menu and receipt show daikons! (Zero star) read more

We decided to try King Noodle at the Fremont Hub for lunch today. When you first arrive, a lady seats you. She wasn't the friendliest, but we were seated right away, which was nice. The restaurant appeared clean, and each table was already set up with utensils, including forks and chopsticks, along with a variety of sauces and a jar of jalapeños. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. When our food arrived, I was surprised by the portion size. I ordered the Combination Crispy Seafood Noodles, and the plate was large enough that it could easily be shared. The crispy seafood noodles were really good. I would have liked a little more flavor, but it was still very tasty and satisfying. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I would definitely go back and try something else on the menu. read more

We were driving by 880 and looking for a place to stop to eat not too far from the freeway. This place is in a busy complex right off Mowry. It's a pretty large sized restaurant, and even though there were plenty of people eating, there were plenty of seats. Standard kind of menu where you could get soups or noodles. They did have a good selection of vegetarian options as well. I ordered the chow fun combination which had shrimp. chicken, and pork, along with vegetables. It came out very quickly but everything tasted fresh and not overcooked. My companion ordered the tofu curry which he said was very fresh. This is a good place to grab a quick meal. Nothing fancy! read more

King Noodle - Chinese Near Me - Fremont, California

A recent visit left much to be desired: it was colder inside than outside (a woman at the table next to me went back to her car to grab a puffer jacket to put on over the coat she was already wearing), there was a fruit fly infestation, there weren't all sauces and jalapenos at every table, and not all noodle choices were available (the server explained that they hadn't received a shipment they were waiting for that morning). Also, my combination wonton noodle soup was $17, which is $3 more than at other TK locations. Maybe I'll stick with the Brokaw location from now on. read more

Super shady. We came here to try it out for ourselves and ended up leaving. My husband went in to order take out and was surprised when the total came up to more than he expected. The menu on their website and the menu to order online is cheaper than ordering in person. Wtf?? It was $4-$6 more for each item. When my husband asked about it, the cashier just kinda brushed it off and said that's the way it is. No thanks. The food didn't look very good anyways. read more

Nice mom & pop shop. Aunty is in the front and uncle takes the orders, runs the tables. Open and adequate seating. Service was good. Food was ok, but a little expensive in my opinion. Egg rolls is clearly home made: its a combination of Vietnamese style & Chinese imperial: ground pork and cabbage. Well seasoned and it somehow works. Ordered the Hu Tieu Wonton (combination Wonton Ho Fun noodle) broth was slightly underseasoned but still good. Chè 3 màu (3 bean dessert) left much to be desired. Overall not bad, I'd come back to try something else. read more

Whenever I'm in Fremont especially if I'm shopping at the hub--this is my go-to spot. I always order the combination wonton noodle soup and fried taro flour cake while my husband always gets the fried rice and fried chicken.

This is a TK Noodle comparable restaurant as they offer similar dishes (both in terms of what's on the menu and taste). If you are like me, grew up and love TK noodle's curry duck noodle, you may know that TK stopped offering this on their menu. I was very disappointed but guess what, this dish is available at King Noodle. The taste is also pretty on point compared to TK's. So definitely worth checking it out. read more

This is my favorite noodle soup spot in the East Bay/Tri City area. The broth is the best tasting and the amount and variety of food in the combination soups are ligit! I am pretty particular when it comes to Asian food especially Chinese and this place always hits the spot. I use to go to Tung Kee more when I lived closer to the South Bay and sometimes when I work in that area, I do visit still but I think I like king noodle better. In terms of service, you get what you get, don't expect to be able to ask a bunch of questions about the food or ask for recommendations and don't take forever to order. Keep in mind, this is a truly Asian-owned, Asian and Latinx frequented establishment meaning you go for the food not for the service. So if you are squeamish about these kind of establishments then it's better, you don't go. Also, the pricing has changed over the years to stay competitive and that has been annoying, but also understandable. Oh and good luck trying to order over the phone because the phone line is usually busy and or nobody answers so again if you love the food here you have to make quite a bit of accommodations to get what you want- but to me it's worth it! read more

We went to King Noodle in Fremont today, and overall, it was solid. It's essentially identical to New Tung Kee Noodle House in San Jose--the broth, the menu, everything--so if you like New Tung Kee (which we do) then this is a great option. That said the ambiance could use some work. It feels very much like a soup kitchen or cafeteria, with long communal tables and no dividers between groups, which can be a little awkward. There's also no music playing so the atmosphere is pretty bare-bones. One small thing I found odd was that they don't offer basil with there soups. Most similar restaurants do, and they clearly have basil in other dishes, so it's not that they don't have it--it's just not provided as a standard garnish. However, they do offer pork skins, bean sprouts and pickled jalapeños at the table. The jalapeños aren't spicy, but they add a nice crunch and freshness. If you haven't been to New Tung Kee in the South Bay just expect a very decent bowl of soup--that's what their known for. Nothing too fancy, but it gets the job done if your craving wonton soup or something similar with shrimp and other meats. It's inexpensive which is a plus. Customer service was fine--friendly, but there was a bit of a language barrier that made communication slightly tricky at times. Overall, if you're in the area and in the mood for a comforting no-frills bowl of noodle soup King Noodle is worth checking out. read more

I and my wife are crazy about Flour Cake fried at a certain Chinese VN restaurants and we found this King Noodle in Fremont, not to far from our home. Every time we went shopping at Target or Trader Joes, we always stopped by to get our Fried Flour Cake fix LOL. This restaurant's been here quite a long time, it's in a big shopping center with plenty of parking spaces. It's catered to inexpensive Chinese/VN dishes for mostly international clienteles. The foods are quite good but not authentic in any means. Anyone would find it tasty and easy to eat. Our kids used to like these wonton noodle soup when they're young, but now they developed more mature tastes, we don't come here anymore except the 2 of us for flour cake. The price is quite reasonable, $14 a plate, there are a few flour cakes with different ingredients, we only like the plain original flour cake and my wife the taro cake with peanuts embedded in it. The trick is to ask for extra crispy, which means they fried a little longer to make the edge crispy as we like. The sauce is quite good with the flour cakes. For some reasons, not many restaurants like this exist that have great fried flour cakes, but as long as this one is here, we will be coming back for this wonderful Fried Flour Cake. There's another one that is good too, in North Valley, SJ. The service here is efficient, quite fast but very business like. Whatever that means LOL. You'll get the point when you come here. read more

I used to go to New Tung Kee, aka TK Noodles in Milpitas. After moving to the East Bay I was looking for something similar. After looking around on Yelp, I was surprised to find a place with the same menu as New Tung Kee. The reviews for this place aren't great, and I can see why. When you walk in, it's dead silent, with no music in the background. The seating layout is cafeteria style and you share utensils and condiments with the table beside you. One of the walls with seating is used as storage for many things out in the open for customers to see. On the walls, they have blue light bug zappers. That makes me think they have some fly issue in the restaurant. It's a weird ambiance where I feel like I'm eating in a soup kitchen. I ordered #3 with half ho fun noodles and half egg noodles for the food. The bowl has pork wontons, chicken, pork slices, prawns, and beef balls. What they are missing is ground pork, which New Tung Kee includes. I also asked for extra pork skin/pork rinds. Their pork skin here does not hold its crispiness in the broth. One thing this place is better at than New Tung Kee is the broth. The broth here is more flavorful. Service here is lacking and there's a language barrier. I asked for a side of bean sprouts when I placed my order, and the person who brought out the soup didn't bring any sprouts. He had to get another person to communicate with me. If I crave this style of soup, I would rather go to Thanh Ky in Oakland, which is a million times better in every way. read more

King Noodle - #3 with half egg noodle and half ho fun - Chinese Near Me - Fremont, California

I've been coming to this establishment when I was little. I usually order Combination over Rice, but it's overrated to me. So I decided to try different things here. I remember years ago that they used to turn on lights with nicer atmosphere. Now, they're always off during the day. Not sure why though. Also, they leave their work supplies on the tables where customers sit. They should have at least a storage room for them. Other than that, their service is fast and food is good. Not really great but good enough to fill you up for the rest of the day. Probably will skip dinner or eat a little since I finished the whole plate of chicken and mushrooms with rice. Although that the overall experience is just okay, I'll probably come back here a bit often to try other dishes. read more

We wanted a hot pho on a cold day and decided to come to King Noodle. It's close to Traders Joe's so we can go supermarket shopping after. The place is big and has a lot of tables. Once we sat down, we pretty much knew what to order and had their combination rice noodle. It has sliced beef, chicken, fish balls, and siomai with rice noodles. The service was very fast and we got our order within 10 mins. I just want to comment on the size of this bowl. It's very big for one person and in fact, I have to take home one-half of it. The meat is so tender and the pho is very delicious. I've been coming to his place for awhile now but didn't review it until now. If you want a hot pho or soup, you've to come here and try them. They also have rice plates and dry noodles if you want something else. read more

The cashier lady in the front was horrible. She added on $10 of random crap on my tab for stuff I didn't order and charged me 30 cents for a takeout container. She'll watch you like a hawk when you're leaving a tip. She's hungry for tips so beware of the cashier lady. read more

I've been at TK Noodle in the South Bay Area for 31 years. It's been around forever. But this is it's lesser known, variant, or direct competitor. Just some subtle differences, but look almost identical. Can't have one, without the other. I felt like doing some more Noodles today. Today, I'm 5 miles away from the Tesla Factory, I've seen this Noodle Shop more than a few times going down Argonaut Way. And today, is the day, I check-it-out. I'm here at the King Noodle this Noon. Where everything is about Noodles. I went with the Mì Bò Kho or Beef Stew with Egg Noodle Soup, an order of Chicken Wings, and my Cup of Iced Milk Tea this time. The other last few times I had the Hủ tiếu Beef Stew, and now today I'm having the fresh Egg Noodles Beef Stew, another Classic. I can see why they're called the King Noodle. And the Chicken Wings, were out of this World, it was extra Crunchy. There's some good and really hardworking people here as well, only thing is they could be somewhat better at taking orders. Other than that, everything was really good. I was thinking this was going to be a 3.7-4.3 stars, I was thinking of giving this a 4.0-4.3 stars, I want to give this a 4.1/4.2 stars, but I'm also going to give this 4.2/4.3 stars out of 5 stars. It was some good Noodles. read more

Perfect spot for some comforting noodles. This place is so frills at all, very basic interior and seating.

I'm a big fan of new tung kee noodle in the Bay Area; so when I decided to move to Fremont from Milpitas, I was sad that I would be moving further away from one of my favorite spots to eat Chinese soup noodles. This morning however, we found king noodle. Everything from the menu, design of the logo, and the decor inside reminds you of TK noodle, almost like it used to be a TK noodle but it separated from the brand. No complaints however as I ordered my typical #1 combination rice noodle and it came out exactly the same! In terms of service, availability, convenience, and flavors: expect new tung kee noodle. It's fast, convenient, and oh so tasty. Just like new tung kee, this place is a blast of nostalgic tastes and experience. I'm so glad to have been brought up tasting the flavors of new tung kee and now king noodle. I'll be coming here very often now! read more

This place gets the job done. There are many other noodle places that are better, but for a quick fix, I recommend this place for convenience and a comforting bowl of soup. It's very similar to the TK Noodle chain. Service is to the point. Once you order, there is no turning back or you'll just have to flag 'em down. It's an order, eat and leave type of place. I ordered the #1, which seems to be the most popular dish and hubby order the pan fried noodles with no vegetables (forgot the number). The noodles fulfilled my cravings after a week of vacationing. It is a little distance from where I live, so I would probably only eat here when I am in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. It is definitely a decent bowl of noodles. It is conveniently located in a shopping plaza, so it's a great place to eat after or before a day of shopping. read more
