This is a cozy spot providing hearty comfort meals for anyone who grew up eating Chinese noodles frequently. I ordered the hot and spicy beef stew noodle soup which will definitely satisfy any spice cravings. The noodles were fresh but note that there is usually going to be high quantity of noodles relative to the beef and bok choy, which I wished there was more of. Overall would come here again, service was great and the waiter was patient with our large group of 8 that came in 1-2 hours before closing. read more

OK Noodle - N3. Hot and Spcy Beef Stew Noodle Soup - Noodles Near Me - Milpitas, California

Tried the chili oil noodles--really Xi'an-style. One of the closer spots in the Bay Area to an authentic taste. Big portions and pretty fast service. Pay at the counter. Heads up: you need to specifically ask for the hand-pulled noodles. Otherwise, they'll just give you the regular ones, and there's no warning about it. We got the regular noodles since we didn't know you have to specifically request it, which were already pretty good, but I can imagine how much better it would be with the hand-pulled version. Not too busy on a weekend evening. Overall, I'd give it an 8/10. read more

OK Noodle - chili oil noodles - Noodles Near Me - Milpitas, California

This is a great little noodle place located in Milpitas next to banana leaf and dish n dash. On the outside it looks a little unassuming but this is definitely a hidden gem. Prices are reasonable and we got one dry noodle (chili oil noodle) and one big plate of beef noodle. I loved that the beef was super tender although it could've used more flavor (adding the chili oil crisp helped a lot!). The chili oil noodle was the overall better dish with bouncy noodles and generous portions. Definitely would recommend coming here! read more

I wanted to check this place out so we stopped by while heading to the South Bay. The guy who served us was older and super sweet. Might have been the owner. The beef noodle dish we got had great hand pulled noodles. Fresh, bouncy, the perfect amount of chew. The broth was ok but lacked a little depth and seasoning, in my opinion. Since I liked the noodles so much I wish I had tried the dry noodle dishes they have, like the chili oil noodles. Perhaps next time. read more

On a journey to find the best hand pulled noodles and this has been one of my favorites! I tried the chili oil noodles and the lamb chili oil noodles and they were both really good! If you're someone like me who has a low spice tolerance, I'd say these are pretty good and they come with a lot of meat! Service was really fast and got my party in and out of the restaurant. read more

Over the years, I've tried a few dishes from this restaurant at their old location and this location: chili oil noodles, braised beef noodle soup, big plate lamb noodles, sour spicy pork noodles, and more. I have enjoyed every single one (especially the ones I listed above!). Amazing flavor with generous portions of meat and noodles that will leave you satisfied. Noodles always have the perfect chewy texture and they have 2 or 3 types to choose from (if I recall correctly), including hand pulled noodles and round noodles. All of of them are amazing, so I would try each one at least once! Service is quick and it's very spacious. If you come here, I would get a few noodle dishes and try them out! I always leave feeling extremely satisfied. I highly recommend this place to everyone! read more

Noodles were so fresh. If your thing is hand pulled noodles this is one of the better places. The flavors were just ok and that's why it was a 4 not a five. Recommend the garlic oil noodle. read more

Noodle cravings galore during a cold afternoon found myself finally convincing myself to check this place out after numerous reviews and friends mentioning this place was good. Ordered the Spicy Beef Noodles and came out pretty quickly. Deeply flavored broth with amazing noodles that have just the right amount of chewiness to them. Good chunks of beef that provide a good textural contrast and a very warm feeling that was much needed. Friendly service and for a pretty small place, it still got a lot of people that afternoon. Noodle cravings were certainly fulfilled here. read more

OK Noodle - Spicy Beef Noodle - Noodles Near Me - Milpitas, California

I came shortly after 11 because I did not want to deal w/ the lunch crowd. More and more I am appreciating a hybrid schedule. I hate driving and I am certain traffic is worse than pre-covid but for the first time I took a lunch and left the campus to take myself out on a solo lunch date. Was greeted by a super upbeat and friendly gentleman. When he came to the table, I explained to him that I have never been here before. I was going to ask for his recommendation but he went ahead and showed me on the menu what he recommends. I ended up ordering the Big Lamb Plate because I was up early, got back to the gym, and was in a mood to splurge. I have not been to the gym in like a year. The fresh wide noodles were al dente, had a bite to it, and was good. I just wished this was served in a bowl instead because the sauce splattered everywhere. I should have mixed the noodles so it can get incorporated and submerged in the sauce before I started to inhale it. The lamb? Super tender!! The potatoes, onions, and bell peppers? It was firm but soft once you've taken a bite out of it. The sauce was divine, It reminded me of the feeling I get when I eat spaghetti. So filling. This would be good for 2-3 people or 2-3 meals. I should have taken it home instead of devouring everything but I had no regrets. It was so good and I was able to have a meal in peace instead of having to talk or listen to someone else talk. Kudos to the gentleman that day. He was the one greeting, seating, took orders, and rung people up. He did so enthusiastically and w/ a warm smile. Thank you, sir! read more

OK Noodle - S2. Big Lamp Plate. - Noodles Near Me - Milpitas, California

Our group ordered the chili oil noodles ($16.99), spicy and sour noodles with pork ($16.99), house special lamb chop ($21.50), and cucumber salad ($9.99). We weren't aware that the noodle dishes we ordered came with regular noodles by default, we thought we'd be getting the wider noodles. Our server didn't ask us if we had a preference and it didn't say we had to request them anywhere on the menu. We heard them ask another table if they had a preference, so definitely voice your preference. We still enjoyed the our bowls of perfectly chewy noodles. Both bowls came with generous amounts of pork and were well seasoned. The chili oil noodles weren't that spicy so I think someone with a lower spice tolerance can handle it. The cucumber salad was garlicky and refreshing. The house special lamb chops were tender and flavorful, but I don't think it was a good value since the portion was small and mostly bones and onions. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and I'd consider returning to try their wide noodles. The shop is plain but clean, it can be a nice place to catch up with friends and family over bowls of noodles. read more

Let me break down a few standout dishes where OK Noodle shines: Youpo Mian (Oil-Splashed Noodles 油潑麵): This is a simple dish -- but when done right, it's transcendent. OK Noodle nails it with a richer, deeper, and more fragrant chili oil. The sauce quantity is perfect, clinging to every strand of noodle. At Hand Pulled Noodle, it feels watered down by comparison. Saozi Tangmian (Sour & Spicy Soup Noodles 臊子湯麵): This is my personal go-to. The balance between spice and tanginess at OK Noodle is spot-on -- never overpowering, just bold and clean. Plus, the noodles are perfectly flat and hand-pulled to soak up that broth (which has zero MSG, by the way). I can even ask for no potato -- yes, they actually customize! Tomato Beef Mixed Noodles (番茄牛肉拌麵): My daughter's favorite. The tomato sauce at OK Noodle is much more generous and hearty than at Hand Pulled Noodle. It tastes like it's been slow-simmered to perfection. The beef is more tender, and we always ask for flat or thin noodles -- which they happily do. Northwestern Lamb Belt Noodles (西北特色羊肉扯麵): This one is high on my personal list. The wok-fried flavor at OK Noodle is unmistakable -- that deep, savory stir-fry aroma hits you before you even take a bite. The lamb is cooked to tender perfection, and the sauce is rich, infused, and abundant -- unlike the version at Hand Pulled Noodle, which lacks both flavor depth and portion. Ask for flat noodles to catch all that glorious sauce. Bottom line: OK Noodle elevates these classic dishes with better seasoning, more sauce, more love in the wok, and more noodle customization. If you're a true 拉面 lover like me, you'll taste the difference. That said, I truly hope Hand Pulled Noodle will take inspiration from OK Noodle's approach -- the foundation is there, and with richer sauces, deeper wok flavor, and greater flexibility, they could absolutely rise to the same level. The love of 拉面 is strong in both -- but OK Noodle shows what happens when every element is dialed in just right. 简体中文点评：手工拉面控的心声 -- OK Noodle 在味道和细节上胜出 作为一个对手工拉面充满热情的吃货，我多次光顾了 Milpitas 的 OK Noodle 和 Hand Pulled Noodle。两家都坚持用手工拉面这一传统工艺，确实值得尊敬。但从味道、锅气、酱汁到个性化服务方面，OK Noodle 明显胜出。 以下是几道我认为 OK Noodle 做得非常出色的经典面食： 油泼面： 这道看似简单的面，其实最考验功夫。OK Noodle 的辣油香气浓郁、层次丰富，酱汁量恰到好处，每一根面条都能裹住那股独特的"香辣魂"。相比之下，Hand Pulled Noodle 的油泼面味道淡了不少，酱也偏少，略显寡淡。 臊子汤面： 我个人最常点的一道面。OK Noodle 酸辣平衡得刚刚好，味道干净、有力，而且完全不加味精。面条是手工扯成的扁面，能充分吸收汤汁。我甚至可以要求不加土豆，店家也乐意配合，服务非常人性化。 番茄牛肉拌面： 我女儿的最爱。OK Noodle 的番茄酱浓郁、厚实，看得出是慢慢熬煮出来的。牛肉更嫩更入味，而且我们经常要求要细面或扁面，店家都非常乐意照办。相比之下，Hand Pulled Noodle 的这道拌面，酱汁和风味略显不足。 西北特色羊肉扯面： 这是我自己的必点清单之一。OK Noodle 用的是"锅炒"工艺，香味浓郁，酱汁丰富，每口都能尝出锅气与香料的融合。羊肉炖得软嫩入味，搭配扁面可以完美吸收酱汁。Hand Pulled Noodle 的版本虽然也是手拉面，但整体味道偏淡、酱汁较少，吃起来没那么过瘾。 总结： **OK Noodle 在调味、酱汁、炒功和面条定制上的表现远胜一筹。**如果你像我一样热爱真正的手工拉面，这几道菜吃一口就能感受到差距。 当然，我也真心希望 Hand Pulled Noodle 能学习 OK Noodle 的风格和用心之处。其实他们有基础，有潜力，只要加强酱汁的风味、提升炒功火候，并提供更多个性化选择，完全有机会追赶甚至超越。两家店都热爱拉面这门手艺，只是 OK Noodle 把每一个细节都做到了极致。 read more

OK Noodle - My photo comparison - Noodles Near Me - Milpitas, California

OK noodle was named OK for a reason, it was just OK. The services were great, nice bunch of people. Seating was plentiful when we arrived. However the food was a miss. The noodles were bouncy and good, but the sauces and soups were lacking in flavor for our liking. The sauce was not thick and the soup was not salted enough, so it made the great noodle texture lacking. read more

Came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon. The place was filled! Way more popular than I was expecting. Ordered the tomato & egg noodle, braised beef soup, and lamb noodle. The tomato and egg had good flavor to it. I surprisingly liked the broth flavor of the braised beef soup. Very very clean broth. I wanted to like the lamb noodle, but it was just too saucy on the bottom. It was pool of sauce that seem to be off ratio for me. Also, there wasn't that much lamb meat in the dish. Other than that noodles were nicely homemade. Fresh, but doesn't quite have the springy/ chewy that I was expecting. Staff was great and friendly. Was very on top of the water, which I appreciate on this hot summer day read more

OK Noodle is selling themselves short here - this place is WAY beyond OK! I've visited OK noodle a few times now. They specialize in hand-pulled style noodles and associated dishes. I put this place in the same food category as QQ noodle and Xian nearby. Their menu has the standard biang biang fanfare of noodles + oil + meat. Bonus points for having a completely vegan section which doesn't skimp on the noodles. As far as food quality goes, this place is up there! the noodles have a really nice texture and they give a great amount as well. I love their chili oil. Like any other fast service Chinese place, the restaurant is relatively no frills, in a good way. Staff here are super friendly and attentive. It feels very much like a mom n poperation. Highly recommend! read more

No wait on Memorial Day dinner. Lots of indoor seating available. Plenty of parking in the plaza. Food came out quickly. Employees were very friendly! Unfortunately, they were out of the liang pi. We shared the sour spicy pork noodle soup and chili-oil noodles. I thought both were pretty good. I really liked the meat for both. Enjoyed the chewy consistency of the noodles. I feel like the prices were fairly reasonably given that the bowls were pretty filling. read more

Ok noodles are more than just "ok"! It's a small mom and pop shop with pretty standout carbs, but nothing like seeing a grandma&toddler pair wandering the store reminding you of that. Firmly a top contender for handpulled noodles in my book; that hardy chew to your hearty bowl of goodness is hard to beat. Gracious service staff and easily swaps back and forth between English/Chinese. Bit slower on food cooking times, but honestly I feel like they put in due effort into each dish so I'd say it's justified. Might have a wait on busier days though. Menu has no noodle customizations, only protein selection, so pretty straightforward. They seem to specialize in Xian type fare, but have a good selection of carby stuff in both dry and wet varieties. Dingding chow mein - 5/5 Bit of a wildcard order since I'm not familiar with it, but delightful surprise. Not spicy at all, yet a very chewy, tomato based dish noodle. Imagine a noodle stirfry where your noodle bits are cut really short but cooked to al-dente instead of typical soft Chinese noodles you get at most shops. More of a spoon-type dish than chopsticks. Very well balanced and quite tasty as one of their signature dishes. Braised beef noodle soup - 5/5 Homey soup with plenty of chewy handpulled goodness and delicious hunks of beef. My only beef with the dish (pun fully intended) is that there's no way to get thicker noodles, which is a pretty good place to be. No spicy sauce by default, but the house-made stuff on the table is *really* good with a lovely aroma. For a solid medium heat I went with about 4 spoonfuls. read more

This place is in a little plaza with other neighboring restaurants. Although there are ample parking spots, the spaces can be a bit tight depending how you park lol. The interior is very spacious. It doesn't have a lot of tables when you walk in right away but there's an outdoor patio and a more smaller tables inside and past the main area. Service was quick and prompt. Menu and water was provided the moment we sat down. All the utensils and napkins were in a basket per table. My family liked the food a lot. We got many items and enjoyed them. We would definetely come back again to try other items they have such as their lamb chops and other dry noodle dishes. We ordered Beef Noodle Soup, Lamb Noodle Soup, Sauerkraut Fish and Lamb Noodle Soup, and Dry Lamb Noodles. Beef Noodle Soup ($16.99) - Very good. Lots of tender beef and the soup is very flavorful. It is not the oily beef flavor you get but like a clean-rich beef broth. Soup was hot throughout the time eating. Lamb Noodle Soup ($16.99) - I would highly recommend. Soup was delicious and hot until the last noodle was slurped up. Noodles were homemade as we can taste the QQ/bounciness of the noodles. Lamb meat were in good chunks/size. It had good meat to fat ratio too! I am glad it is in big pieces and not minced like other places. I enjoyed it a lot. Sauerkraut Fish and Lamb Noodle Soup ($17.99) - It is also good and has decent amount of fish and lamb meat. Flavor is a bit more sharp. Dry Lamb Noodles ($16.99) - also good. Noodles are different as they are more knife-cut like. Although the lamb is not in chunks, there was good amount of lamb meat. There was lots of shredded cabbage as well. Good crunchy contrast to the soft noodles. The sauce was mostly at the bottom so you have to mix well. read more

It seems to me the food is even better. This makes it worth hunting for this new location with the smaller parking lot. This spicy dishes border on too hot, but it's not just hot because there is a lot of flavor to make it worth the runny nose The service is as attentive as ever. The new location has a comfortable layout, and even the chopsticks are classy -and that is something my Caucasian eyes would normally overlook read more

Great chili oil noodles! I've tried both the chili oil noodles with wide noodles, D7 cold noodles (not the liang pita), and the liang pita, and all of them were good! The chili oil noodles are my favorite out of the three. The wide flat noodles were very QQ, bouncy and just the perfect texture. Prob some of the best flat noodles I've had! I felt like I could smell pickled mustard in the dish, but I didn't taste it. They give you a good amount of meat in the dish as well, though I do wish there was some more bok choy. The D7 cold noodles come with thinly sliced beef and cucumbers mixed in a sauce that tasted like hoisin sauce. The noodles for this dish are the thin noodles. The liang pita (or pi) is more of an appetizer dish. The noodles are more stiff and elastic than regular noodles and the sauce was vinegary with a little kick from spice. Service was good! Whenever I've gone here, the owner will always fill up our water cups frequently without you having to flag him down. Our table was also missing napkins and he immediately brought that out for us without us even asking. I'll definitely be back here again! read more

Food: We ordered the Chili Oil Noodles and Spicy Beef Noodles. I personally had the Spicy Beef Noodles and it felt like an everlasting supply of noodles! The quantity they give is justified by the price for sure! Now, the dish was not spicy at all ... so not sure what happened there. The noodles were cooked correctly and the soup was solid. Service & Space : They were not very attentive after you ordered, but we came at the end of the day so maybe they were over the day lol. They had indoor and outdoor seating spaced out pretty well so you are not on top of the next table. Overall, it was good! I am no a noodles girly, but it was nice to change it up! read more

I called in to order takeouts on Sunday night and I was told that it'll take 15 minutes. When I arrived at the restaurant 10 minutes later, my food was packed and ready for pickup. I ordered the chili oil noodles (4.5/5) which comes with pork and I thought this was extremely delicious! My partner said this is not as close to the transitional chili oil noodles he's used to growing up. He got the Liang Pita (4.5/5) and it was extremely refreshing and flavorful! I appreciate how they packed the sauce separately for the liang pita and we can mix everything at home. Overall, would love to stop by again! read more

don't let the name deceive you! this noodle spot is better than ok - chili oil noodle- comes w beef, lots of sauce, make sure to mix well so you don't end with a lot of leftover toppings at the end. super bouncy noodles! love the texture of these noodles - big plate beef noodle- really does come out on a big plate! the noodles are wide, soft but not overly done. i really enjoyed the potatoes in this dish and liked that it was a tomato based sauce. the sauce was a little on the watery side so it didn't coat the noodles as much as i would like but this dish was not overly salty which is a plus. my husband said that adding the chili oil really helped bring extra flavor to the dish. will definitely be back! read more

This is what you want on a cold, foggy day when you are chilled to the bone! The interior and exterior are no frills. In fact, the interior was pretty darn chilly! But maybe they are just preparing you to get warmed up by their giant bowls and plates of hand pulled noodles. Service is friendly but the food took a while to arrive, even at 230pm on Sunday which was way off peak hours. Business was still bustling and almost table was occupied when we arrived. The portion sizes are generously large and the noodles are deliciously chewy. I'd say they were a little less qq than the noodles at QQ, but still very good. Next time, I want to try their wider, flatter noodles. read more

OK Noodle - N2. Braised Beef Noodle Soup - Noodles Near Me - Milpitas, California

OK Noodle was one of the first places to serve Big Plate Chicken way back in the day at their Newark location. We were so excited to see that they've reopened in Milpitas. This is the epitome of an authentic Chinese mom-and-pop restaurant, complete with small child crying over her math homework in the back. Whether you're here for the noods or the nostalgia, you're in the right place. Rating Breakdown: 1.5/2 Stars for Taste -- It would be a solid 2 stars for the handpulled noodles alone. We got the big plate beef and the sauce tasted more tomato based with less of the cumin and peppercorn taste that I've come to associate with this dish. The beef was delicious thick cuts of stewed brisket, definitely a worthy upgrade from the chicken. Our other favorite was the ding ding noodles, which looks like Chef Boyardee, but the texture of the mini cut pieces of noodles was very unique. The owner suggested a soup noodle so we tried the sour spicy pork noodles. I would say good, but not dying to try again. Maybe next time I'll try a different broth. I was really excited for the liang pi, but the noodles were either undercooked or dried out -- they had the texture of raw rice paper. 1/1 Stars for Value -- It's about $20 per entree. We got an extra entree to split because we wanted to try everything and ended up spending about $25pp...we were very stuffed. The servings were generous, we definitely could have done with one less dish. 1/1 Stars for Customer Service -- The owner made some solid recommendations. When we asked which protein was the best one for the Big Plate Noodles, he said "Lamb, but if you don't eat lamb, then beef. Since beef is more expensive than chicken but the price is the same." I appreciate Uncle keeping it real. I also overheard him making recommendations to an English-speaking vegetarian, so no need to worry about language barriers here! Bonus star because I came with my husband who doesn't like lamb, but I would definitely ditch him and come back to try all their lamb house specials! read more

OK Noodle - Chili oil noodles - Noodles Near Me - Milpitas, California

My friend and I came on a weekday night and had no problems getting seated right away. We ended up deciding on the beef noodle soup and the chili oil noodles as they seemed to be the most popular options. I would consider myself a big beef noodle fan. Unfortunately, I did feel like the broth was missing some depth compared to others that I had before. It was a slight disappointment as I usually like the broth more than the meat or noodles in this dish. We felt like we had to use chili oil to lift up the broth. However, the noodles tasted fresh had a nice chew to it (almost like a chewier udon noodle), and the meat was perfectly tender (not chewy at all which was a surprise since I feel like most places tend to make the meat chewier). The chili oil noodles were surprisingly my favorite. I'm not usually a fan of Sichuan spice, but this one had a lot of flavor, and the numbing spice was well-balanced. Adding a bit of black vinegar was the perfect addition to help cut through the oil. I would definitely recommend getting this dish over the beef noodle soup if you're torn. read more

OK Noodle - Beef noodle soup - Noodles Near Me - Milpitas, California

The noodles were divine!!!!! I really recommend the chili oil with flat noodles! It was chewy, yet not too tough. The noodles had a bouncy like texture. Additionally, the sauce of the fish was not too salty or spicy! Everything was very well balanced and filling. We also had cold noodles which was great on a hot day. This was actually my favorite dish, which I didn't expect since it wasn't the main dishes, but the sauce of the dish was sour yet sweet. It had a nice spice to it as well, and the noodles were also chewy. The cucumber on top added a nice crunch!!! Would recommend. Lastly , I had the beef noodle soup. This was ok! I noticed a lot of places around the Bay Area serve somewhat of the same beef noodle soup flavoring... Service was very attentive. The waiter followed with us early and answered our questions. Definitely friendly! :-) It was a slow day when I came but the place was pretty spacious. It also looked like someone celebrated their birthday with balloons hanging there! Overall would definitely come back to try their other dishes. read more

I almost want to gate keep this place to keep the wait time low but this place is seriously one of my all time favorite spots in the bay for some noodles! I come here so much the owner knows exactly what I want each time. The service here is 10/10 for me, so sweet and always checking up on us for water and anything we might need. Their chili noodles here are to die for!! So freaking flavorful, the noodles are the perfect bouncy texture. I love that if you want to peek into the kitchen, you can sometimes see them hand pulling the noodles! I get these noodles at least 2-3 times a month! The big plate beef is also delicious, it has a more tomato-y based broth. The beef that comes with this is sooo tender and delicious. It's tucked away in one of the many plazas at McCarthy ranch so there's always plenty of parking which is great. This restaurant has become a staple for me and my friends and I love it so much! read more
