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. :)

They have a very busy parking lot. My partner and I circled around once and decided to park on the…read morestreet nearby. The chef/founder is Teochew and so dishes are influenced by his background. I'm half Teochew but didn't really grow up in the culture. I've brought my Teochew dad before and he thought it wasn't very authentic. I thought it tasted fine though, but my dad is incredibly picky. My second visit was just me and my partner. We heard about the $9.99 Hainan Chicken deal to promote the opening of their new restaurant location. There was a long wait, as you can imagine for a deal like this! We waited maybe 30 minutes before being seated. The waitress immediately clocked that I could speak Cantonese when seating me. That auntie's got a gift! Especially since most Chinese folks my age in the area seem to be Mandarin speakers. I'm still wondering how she knew! We each ordered a dish of the Hainan chicken rice. The soup that comes with it is absolutely delicious! My partner and I got different cuts of chicken. His was very bony and mine was mostly meat, which suited me just fine, but he was not as happy He'll probably order a dish without bones next time we come here. I really liked the ginger scallion sauce as well. Overall, I had a great experience and the portions were huge. Would absolutely come back another time!

I've been to the San Mateo location, and this one is just as good. I ordered the Spicy Ground Pork…read moreDry Noodles and fried calamari. I always go for the thickest hand-pulled noodles, but since this was delivery, they ended up sticking together a bit, so I'm taking off one star for that. Still, the dish was delicious overall. The spicy ground pork sauce definitely brought the heat, though there wasn't much actual pork, so don't expect a lot of protein. The calamari was tasty as well, if I had to guess, there were around six tentacle pieces.

I would recommend installing or improving the air conditioning to make the restaurant more comfortable for customers. Other than that, everything was delicious. I'd love to come back with my family and try more dishes in the future.

8.5/10! Super solid spot for great flavorful Chinese food…read more Chongqing noodles: 8/10 Perfectly al dente. Nice mala flavor, but could be more fragrant and wish it came with more protein Sauerkraut fish: 7.5/10 Nice bouncy fish that's not too fishy. Great acidity and spice, but the sauerkraut flavor could be stronger. Some mushrooms tasted a little too mushroomy and didn't go well with the dish. Green beans: 8.5/10 Amazing! Would definitely recommend. I've never had such flavorful green beans before! The fragrant garlic perfectly complemented the nice chili spice and the umami from the ground meat. The servers were 10/10 amazing!! Very attentive and prompt despite the full restaurant. Ambiance was casual.

The Dan Dan Mian was a bit different than what I've had before, but still very delicious and flavorful. Not too spicy, but they had chili oil on the side to add. The spicy Chong Qing noodles definitely had a kick! I really enjoyed the texture of the noodles and the spicy oil coated the noodles really well, even for a soup dish. The fried egg on top was a nice touch to break up the spice. Would recommend for a quick and reliable noodle place, especially if you're already picking up groceries or boba in the plaza. Super convenient!

When Liang's Village first came to the states they were one of the first Taiwanese Chinese…read morerestaurants in the Bay Area. Note that I said Taiwanese Chinese not Taiwanese because they were the type of food that when Chinese soldiers would cook/eat when they first retreated to Taiwan so they don't have the same ingredients they had. The new location is now next to Starbucks instead of the other end of the plaza. The place is clean but slightly smaller. They also changed their menu slightly and they are definitely competing with Duan Chun Zhen across the street. They both offer beef noodle soup so I'll mostly commenting on the difference. Liang definitely gives you more beef (meat, tendon, tripe) but it's also about 50% more expensive. They also added Chinese sauerkraut which makes the soup base very different. I personally prefer the 13 spices used in Duan. The noodles are also different. The texture of Duan is more consistent but Liang feels more handmade. Overall I'd prefer Duan over Liang but Liang has more choices such as beef pancake. In other words if you just want noodles Duan is a better choice but if you want more types of food this is an ok choice. There are also more choices for tea here. Service is alright and it's weird that you cannot order directly using the QR code which only offers the menu. The location is clean and bright which

I also love that they provide everything you need at the table, from scissors and extra bowls to plenty of pickled radish. Their jajangmyeon is somehow much easier to mix than versions I've had elsewhere, with the sauce coating the noodles evenly without too much effort. The noodles themselves have the perfect consistency with just the right amount of chew, giving you that satisfying bite every time. It's simple, comforting, and consistently hits the spot whenever I'm craving jajangmyeon. Definitely a place I'd recommend if you're in the area and looking for a solid bowl!

The snowflake dumplings are also one of our go to's, the crunch on top is so pretty and gives a good texture balance. We try a different meat plate each time we went with the OG orange chicken, crunchy, sweat. The spare ribs are still my fave tho. Anyway, you won't go wrong with any choice of dumplings here. Overall really great place and service is so sweet and they make sure you're well taken care of. Also plenty of space to sit for lager or small parties
