Clean, good seating, limited menu, soft opening so limited drink items right now , have guest wifi, and charger ports, no tipping, self-service, trending music. The menu is very limited currently.

Spicy garlic noodles

This is like Chinese style aburasoba but you pick your own toppings. You choose between about 6 different plain noodle bases. Afterwards, you add all your meat and veggies and everything is ala cart. The more you add the more you pay.(chicken, beef, shrimp, peas, corn, spinach, etc...) In a few minutes, you get a text and you pick up the food at the front. The GOOD - Noodles were really chewy and bouncy. Perhaps my favorite texture I had here so far in the bay. (5/5 for the texture) - Usb chargers on the wall for convenience. The BAD - I don't think the worker spoke English but you can easily go to the kiosk and figure it out. - The food was luke warm/room temperature(i think it's supposed to be like this) - No free tap water option that I could find. Overall, I would go back to the place strictly for the bouncy noodles. Next time, I would try a different flavor. The spicy garlic was good but I think it's worth trying other flavors. The customer service was a bit lacking but it's probably the language barrier. Arrived there around 7:30pm Monday and the place had one other customer.

Self service everything. Love the charging ports!

The noodles are chewy, just the way I like them. Watched them make it fresh! Not sure why others say it's super expensive because it's actually cheaper than most ramen or pho places, $11.99+. Taking off one star because you can't order online. They have a page but it only lets you order the most basic noodles.

Noodles were good but everything else is meh. You order at a tablet at the counter. You choose what sauce you want and then add toppings if you want. Topping all cost extra (e.g. chicken, beef, spinach, etc.). Alfredo sauce was a bit salty for me. To go orders are packed in a compostable container. Noodles were sticking to the container when we brought it home to eat.

Tomato sauce noodle with popcorn chicken

Hate to do this to a new place, but this was one of the worst places I've ever eaten. Popcorn chicken was cold/mushy. Don't know how they didn't even microwave it. Cooked spinach was also cold. Wife got a dish with some beef in it, also cold. Only good thing was the noodle texture, but it gets ruined by the terrible tomato sauce. I give this place maybe 6-8 months before they close, unless they have some huge investor backing them.

One Piece Lamian - Signature beef bone

One Piece Lamian specializes in Chinese noodle dishes, all with an efficient QR code ordering…read moresystem and super quick service. We started with the One Piece Mixed Salad (tofu skin, vermicelli noodles, woodear mushrooms, carrots, celery, seaweed, and peanuts, all mixed in a savory, acidic, and spicy dressed ) and the Shredded Potato Salad, both of which made for nice appetizers. We also had the Cold Skin Noodles (Liangpi), a bowl of wide, chewy noodles mixed with a savory sauce and topped with tofu puffs, shredded cucumber , bean sprouts, and a creamy sesame sauce. Hailing from Xi'an, the Braised Pork Pita Burger was fatty pieces of pork braised in a savory sauce, served in a dry round of "pita," but even better was the Spicy Cumin Lamb Pita Burger, which contained a tantalizingly spicy, flavorful filling of tender spiced lamb. The Signature Beef Bone Noodle Soup came with noodles in a simple broth, topped with three bone-in beef ribs. The meat on the ribs was rather tough and sinewy, and the soup on the bland side, but the presentation of the dish was definitely impressive. Finally, the House Special Braised Dry Noodle was a bowl of noodles topped with a savory sauce with lots of different dried ingredients including tofu, s mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and red bell peppers. For each noodle dish, you could select from a variety of noodles, but my favorite by far was the 2cm "General Wide" noodles, which had an amazing chewy texture. Overall, this was a great restaurant for authentic Northern Chinese noodle dishes and other eats. Everything came out from the kitchen in just minutes after we ordered. The tasty dishes came at a good value, and the service was super friendly too!

Was going to another noodle place but it seems it was no longer there so we decided come here to…read moresince it is in the same plaza. This is not our first time here. There seems to have some menu change since the last time we came. We ordered 2 dry noodles and a cold spicy pig ears appetizer. The pig ears were piled up with no fillers - something hard to find these days. You can select the type of noodles so I picked the widest while my husband picked the middle one. I love the el dente texture of the noodles giving it a bit of chew. My braised pork belly dry noodles was not dry... very watery which was not to my liking. I want my dry noodles with as little gravy as possible. The flavor was light despite all the gravy, but the veggies and one egg made it up. The house special dry noodles had just the right amount of gravy for taste but not enough ingredients. I was wondering why the restaurant is called One Piece... I guess the entire bowl of noodles is one piece noodle as it was hard to eat as all the noodles are tangled. No complaints here just need to be careful with the splashes on your shirt. Overall the food was good, service was decent as we were offered actual menu instead of only using QR code to order. The place was not small with plenty of table. A bit noise as with all Chinese restaurants.

I live very close so I mostly order to-go but very occasionally I will dine in. The location is…read moresmall but cozy & the staff are always professional and attentive. But what gets me coming back (and I've been coming since opening) is how consistent they are with quality and flavor. I am in no way vegan but my go to order is the Creamy Vegan because the Dashi broth is insanely good. I think about it often and it's worth the try. (I've never had a bad order). You can always add ingredients or take anything out if you don't want it. It's also good to note other items on the menu are very tasty too. I have tried a few of the appetizers & different Ramen, but the creamy vegan is where it's at for me.

Came here for the first time today (Saturday lunch) and this is a great casual ramen place! Party…read moreof 2 around 11am. Pros: - Wide but straightforward menu - I got the house ramen ($17), and we also go thte umami brussel sprouts ($9) and I got a fuzzy navel drink ($8). - Solid taste and broth - I liked that the house ramen broth was light but flavorful (I did "mild" spicy just for the flavor and it was perfect), the brussel sprouts were a tasty app, and the fuzzy navel drink was actually very tasty! A little treat. I was also tempted to get a dessert but sadly the budget did not allow haha. I didn't regret any of our choices - SUPER fast service. The ramen came out basically like within minutes of us finishing ordering. - I like that they give you a water pitcher for you to use the rest of your meal, so you don't have to keep flagging down the wait staff for water refills. - Cute decor- little lamps on the table. - Was not crowded at all around 11am opening time, and easy parking right outside in the lot. - I saw them accommodate a 6 person party pretty well, but most of the tables are 4-6 people or less. - The wait staff was super efficient and nice. - I like that the ramen comes with a lot of veggies, and although the portions are on the "smaller" side, I don't mind that since I have a tendency to over-eat. Cons: - in the beginning when there weren't many other parties in the restaurant, I felt like me and my friend's voices were super loud and echo-y (given we're both loud yappers lol) so I think it would have been nice if there was some background music playing. But not too big of a deal. - I could see some people feeling like the price doesn't justify the size of the portions of noodles/meat, but I didn't mind.
