I came here one weekend afternoon for lunch and it was not too busy. There was a waitlist, but it…read morewent by pretty quickly. I ordered their tempura udon which came with udon, fish cake, green onions and tempura bits in a hot broth. It also came with 3 pieces of shrimp tempura, 3 pieces of vegetable tempura (eggplant, sweet potato and pumpkin). The order came out quickly after ordering and good size portion. The tempura were fried crispy and went nicely with the udon. Udon had a nice broth and good amount of udon, nice and chewy. Overall, good experience and will come back again.

Experience (3/5 stars): *Food: the mentai cream sauce udon…read morewas good and flavorful. *Price: ~$20 *Service: our waiter wasn't as attentive and we had to get help from others. we also noticed our beer glass had lipstick stain from a previous customer which was pretty disgusting.. Overall, it's a light yes for me. Good food, but service was lacking.

Classic korean comfort dishes in a modern space!…read more Came here on a Thursday around 7pm and got seated immediately. $84 cheese maeun (spicy) galbi jjim The meat was so tender and the flavor got depthhh. It wasn't too spicy (in my opinion). The rice cakes are THICK, soft, and chewy!! Wished the vegetables were a tad softer, but still loved them. They gave us two bowls of rice for this dish. My banchan ranking: 1. kimchi - my favorite one! 2. radish - deliciousss 3. cucumber - not a fan, had a really soft/soggy texture I imagine the banchan would taste really good with their soups, which is what they're more known for. Free hot barley tea! When you get your bill, they give you a little yogurt / yakult drink! I wish they were cold though, I noticed they would be out on the counter where they ring up with bill. Overall, would recommend!!! :) I would come back go try out more dishes

I've heard of Home Eat from a random TikTok video before too so I was excited to try them! I'm glad that this spot is opened late til 11pm, and we ordered our food around 8pm and picked it up within 25 minutes. The lady at the front was welcoming, and they were pretty busy on a late Sunday night. We got the eggplant combo, general tso's chicken combo, mapo tofu, and pork dumplings. Everything tasted yummy! I didn't really care for the wonton chips though. The mapo tofu had that nice kick to it, which I liked. They also gave us lots of utensils which is awesome! The inside of the place looked clean and modern. We found a spot on the street right outside to park briefly while I picked up the food. I would definitely return to this spot again the next time I'm craving Chinese food. :)

this has been my go-to udon spot for years -- it's so good, I almost want to gatekeep it…read more my favorite dishes from here are the curry udon and their udon tsukumen the only downsides are that the inside is a bit small and they have limited hours but it's a place I find myself always going back to

Came here on a Saturday night and was seated immediately. Ordered and food came out fairly quickly…read more The aburi shime saba was fantastic and easily my favorite dish of the night. Caramelized sugar gives the fish an interesting texture and great flavor, sweet and savory paired well together. The fish is served along with other accoutrements. Ended up trying the oxtail udon, broth was flavorful but a bit greasy, and the oxtail was quite fatty. Meat was tender but still required quite a bit of effort to pull away from the vertebrae. Noodles were cooked well and had a good bounce to them. I don't think I would order this again. My partner enjoyed her dipping udon, but I don't think this spot is for me.

Good luck with parking~…read more Came during lunch time but there was no line. Was given a table number and then you grab a bowl for your soup fillings. You pay by the weight, minimum 0.8 lbs, plus your broth. There's a DIY sauce and water station at the front. Variety of toppings and meat. Broth: .

The broth was rich and deeply flavorful. The beef was incredibly tender--my 80-year-old aunt had no trouble chewing it at all. Even the tendons had a perfect texture and weren't overly chewy. The water spinachwas lightly sauced and served as the perfect fresh side to balance out the meal. The service truly set this experience apart. Our server was so kind and attentive, especially toward my aunt who is in a wheelchair. It's rare to find a place that feels this genuinely welcoming. I was down to 10% battery, but they have outlets along the wall. Since I had my block and cord with me, I was able to charge up while we ate. Great food, accessible, and amazing staff.

Went here on New Year's Eve for a warm bowl and tried both the H4 - Nam Vang and the filet mignon…read morepho, both with clear noodles. The Nam Vang came with sliced pork, ground pork, and one prawn in a clean, savory broth--light but flavorful. The filet mignon pho was a solid upgrade: tender beef, silky noodles, and a broth that leaned richer but still easy to sip. Noodles had a nice bounce in both bowls. I was craving a vermicelli bowl or bánh mì too, but heads up--they only serve pho and noodle soups here. No rice plates or sandwiches. Still, if you're in the mood for Vietnamese comfort food, this spot delivers fast and clean.

Thank you to my bro and his fam for treating us out to some Mother's Day noods!!!…read more My bro and his family are massive fans of Kali Noodles + Tea Bar. Even with them moving out to the East Bay, they make periodic drives just to enjoy what KN has to offer. I've had one dining experience here previously and was not impressed. This lead to not returning. Fast forward 2.5 years or so, here I was again. Our large party of 9 arrived at opening hours and the owners were so very welcoming. The restaurant was clean and the condiments were in tip top shape. Our family's order was massive. We started the meal with xiu mai [Vietnamese pork meat balls] and Chinese donut sticks. This then continued with mi do bien, filet mignon and beef ball pho, & a variety of nam vang noodle versions. The great thing about Kali Noodles are the multiple options of noodles they provide. There are a number of combinations that could be made with the 6 offerings. The food was surprisingly really good- so much better than what my first visit was. The bowls were presented neatly but plated in a way where the large chunks of lettuce made the bowls seem a lot more fuller that it really was. The noodle soups also consisted a lot more broth than noodles. Having said that, the egg noodles are really really good!! The restaurant cooks them perfectly- chewy with a slight bite that keeps you wanting more and more. Hu tieu dai was unfortunately too mushy in texture for my liking. 4 stars overall. Customer service from the owners were exceptional. They were attentive to each person's order and were so welcoming. The food was good but maximize the deliciousness by strictly going for the thin egg noodles. You will not be disappointed and this recommendation is coming from a person who typically steers clear of this. I'd happily return.

Genuinely so impressed with my experience here and cannot wait to visit again. I stopped by on a…read moreFriday evening, and it was insanely busy. You'll have to wait at least thirty minutes unless you get there extremely early. My party of nine was seated around 45 minutes after we first joined the waitlist. However, we were able to order our food ahead of time. The atmosphere of the restaurant was bustling and noisy, a super fun and casual spot. Our dishes arrived minutes after we sat down, which was impressive. There was also a variety of delicious side dishes, with various types of kimchi. The nine of us split two braised beef short rib dishes - and we were struggling to finish it all. The portion size is massive, which makes sense since it's a pretty penny. The meat was so tender, literally falling off the bone. There were a ton of potatoes, daikon, rice cake, and carrots as well. The entire dish was savory and delicious, pairing perfectly with rice. You can also specify your spice level. The medium spice was a fair amount of spice but not overpowering. I highly recommend getting the cheese on top, it provides a creamy contrast to the sharp flavors of the meat. I'm still thinking about the braised beef short rib - it was just that delicious!

My sister and I ordered the kalbijjim short ribs topped with cheese, and wow--this dish was…read moreabsolutely outstanding. The short ribs were incredibly tender, practically falling off the bone, and the sauce was rich, savory, and deeply flavorful.

The banchan that came with the meal were delightful and well-prepared, offering a nice variety of flavors that complemented the main dish perfectly. Service was great--friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout the meal. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but it adds to the cozy and intimate dining atmosphere.

They have a number of types of vegetables and mushrooms as well as all kinds of seafood…read moreballs and other things that are part of the buffet you can pick for yourself (if you go with the All You Can Eat option). When going with AYCE you pick your broth (from the menu) then go make your sauce concoction, grab veggies and such from buffet, and bring everything back to the table. You order the meat from the menu and it will be delivered to your table too (usually very quickly). If you do not want All You Can Eat, you can get any of their pre-made hot pots. The people working there are friendly and helpful.

Been dining at this location for as long as I can remember and I'm definitely a fan of their soups…read more My go-to is their beef hot soup medium spice level which hits the spot every single time. The broth is flavorful, meat slices are fair, and I enjoy all of the other various fish balls, veggies, and more provided as well. Their soybean paste is my favorite and it pairs well with everything. I've dined here when they tried doing Malatang and I wasn't much of a fan so I'm glad they got rid of that style. Now they offer AYCE and I very much enjoy it! They updated the place with new tables and different stations offering a variety of fish balls, veggies, tofu, noodles, a drink station, sauce bar, and more that you can choose from. They also have ice cream to end your meal. As for the meats, out of all the choices I'm a fan of their angus marbled beef slices and angus beef slices. The meats are good quality, not frozen, sliced thin, and cooked very fast. I got the tom yum broth and it was flavorful. It was cool that our server was able to accommodate my mom as she wanted the cheesy milk broth since it isn't offered on the AYCE menu. I was already a fan of their hot pots before the AYCE option, and now I enjoy it even more!

Super authentic Taiwanese night market style sizzling plate restaurant. They used to have another…read moresister restaurant in Mountain View too, but it closed down. I think this spot is way cleaner and tastes better though. Every few weeks I would come here to get a sizzling steak plate to satisfy my cravings. They let you choose between black pepper sauce, mushroom sauce, or both. I love getting both because I can't decide. The noodles are so good with the sauce too. My partner usually tries something different. They have curry rice and beef stew rice as well. Both pretty good. Personally they're too plain for me. I still would only want to get the sizzling plate here. The service here has been pretty good so far for the many times I've been here. Ordering and serving were quick
