4.5 Stars Ambience: Casual, cafeteria-esque. Food: Hearty and delicious. The hand pulled noodle soups (around $15) were great, the small dishes are wonderful, and the boiled dumplings (around $12) are solid as well. There are 6 types of noodle shapes. Service: Swift, minimal. The food comes so quickly so it's great if you're hungry. Order on QR code and they rush the food out to you. read more

Dang,,, we got lucky and beat the Friday evening rush! At about 6:30, the restaurant was about half-capacity and we were able to grab a table of 2. But, I would say by 7p, there was a whole waitlist that formed. But the line shouldn't be a a worry since the food comes out literally less than 5 minutes after ordering! I have never had hand-pulled noodles come out almost instantly. I ordered the soybean paste dry noodles with pork *chef's kiss*,,, I actually ordered the small round noodles and I am a big fan! The noodles are customizable per your preference, I just so happen to really enjoy the smaller noodles over the commonly ordered thick/flat noodles. We finished our food and the check came out almost instantly. After a few rounds of water, they kindly asked that we leave so that they could seat the next round of customers. read more

Ox 9 Lanzhou HandPulled Noodles - Soybean paste dry noodles with pork - Chinese Near Me - Cupertino, California

Overall, this scratched the itch for hand pulled noodles but nothing blew me away. My boyfriend ordered the spicy ground pork dry noodles and I ordered the chili oil noodles with braised beef, and we shared the popcorn chicken. I thought the portion sizes were generous (I ordered extra beef on my dish in anticipation of there being a small amount of meat), and the noodles tasted fresh and densely satisfying. However, the beef was overly fatty in my opinion, and the chili oil felt a little flat (I feel like chili oil wontons have more layers of flavor). The popcorn chicken was also a big portion size and crispy; we liked it but have also had more flavorful or interesting popcorn chicken at other Chinese restaurants. As for service: we ordered on an app and our food came out within 5 minutes, despite being peak dinner time. read more

Ox 9 Lanzhou HandPulled Noodles - Popcorn chicken and chili oil noodles with braised beef - Chinese Near Me - Cupertino, California

Service was really friendly and great! Efficient as well Food is delicious I really hated how they used disposable one time use chopsticks when you eat in. Please! Give us real chopsticks that can withstand the thick delicious noodles you serve. It's weird and cheapens the entire experience, and it's not very sustainable. Chopsticks are cheap and easy to wash They also really need to consider better forks and spoons for kids as well Please consider this ox9!! read more

Ox9 has been a family favorite and I always find myself coming back for a comforting bowl of beef noodle soup whenever I visit home in the Bay Area. Ox9 specializes in Lanzhou hand pulled noodles. They have different sizes of noodles ranging to thin to flat noodles. My favorite is the large flat noodles in the sichuan beef noodle soup. We visited on a Monday late afternoon and there were lots of seating options. Service was very quick and we got our food within 10 minutes of ordering. We also ordered the popcorn chicken, which was perfectly crispy and seasoned. We saw other tables order the beef chow mein (stir fry noodles) so we were influenced to try it as well. I was initially worried it would not be good as they specialize in noodle soups but we were so shocked that the noodles were SO GOOD. Despite being stir fried, the noodles were fresh and chewy, had the perfect amount of sauce and the beef was tender and soft. The portion size was also HUGE and we had lots of food to take home for dinner. Pricing was super reasonable, each dish was under $15 which is hard to find these days. Definitely one of my go to spots for an affordable and comfort meal! read more

Went here with my parents and they told me this is their favorite Chinese noodle place to go to! The 辣椒 is honesty delicious and I'm tempted to buy some from them to keep at home. They do hand pulled noodles here so you know you are getting good quality. I would definitely eat here again and it's for a decent price too! (under $20 pp) read more

Ox 9 Lanzhou HandPulled Noodles - N.1 Spicy Ground Pork Dry Noodles 麻辣肉酱面 - Chinese Near Me - Cupertino, California

***USP: hand pulled noodle based dishes. Handful of vegetarian options as well. ***AMBIANCE: seating is along a narrow corridor but opens up a bit at the far end of restaurant. Can have a wait time but lines move quickly. The kitchen has open glass windows allowing us to enjoy the hand pulling action. ***FOOD: I understand some items are authentically greasy but every dish we got was very greasy including the chowmein. *Popcorn chicken : 3.5/5: had surprisingly small cuts of chicken and almost resembled the size of actual pop corn. Quantity was humongous as well. *mung bean noodles with garlic sauce:3/5: we didn't realize this dish would be cold or that it came with an oil based sauce. *chilli oil noodles:3.5/5: we were expecting this dish to be oily. Though it was tossed in chilli oil, it wasn't very greasy. Pretty enjoyable. *chicken chowmein:4/5: extremely greasy, chicken was well cooked and soft. It lacked flavor though. read more

I would avoid ordering any noodle soups here unless you want it with a hearty side of ingested microplastics! We stopped by here for dinner looking for some tasty noods. The interior and service is kind of classic no-frills Chinese restaurant. We ordered the Chili Oil Noodles and Mala Beef Noodle Soup. Chili Oil Noodles (5/5): This one is lathered and drenched in bright red savory chili oil, balanced by a nice dosage of acidic vinegar. There's a fast food chow mein flavor that I think goes well with the dish. Noodles are wide and voluptuously bouncy as well! Mala Beef Noodle Soup (1/5): This dish was a disaster. The steaming hot, greasy soup comes served in a CHEAP plastic bowl. I'm talking that really low-quality plastic that sounds hollow and light if you tap it. I don't think serving such a hot bowl of greasy soup in a bowl like this is a good idea, talk about microplastics! Besides that, the meat was tough and the soup just tasted like mala from an instant packet. It was just a big pool of lifeless grease. Overall, chili oil noodles are good but avoid the mala beef noodle soup. read more

This place is so good. I have been kind of in the mood for hand-pulled noodles since going to Season's Noodles in Mountain View. This location is a bit closer to San Jose. I did see they also have a spot in Valley Fair, but this one is way easier for parking. We showed up about 10 minutes to 5 for an early dinner, but they don't actually open until 5. You walk in and take a seat. Then you order from your phone, and the food comes out pretty quickly. It's not a lot of fancy ambiance, but it did seem like the focus is on the fast and delicious food. I got the original #1 dish, which is a beef broth with hand-pulled noodles. I got the flat wide noodles, and they were excellent. They have chili oil and other condiments on the table if you want to add more spice to your soup. The serving size is really generous. We also tried the garlic cucumber, which was really delicious, and the spicy wontons, which I saw recommended on Yelp. I will definitely be back when I'm craving noodles. read more

I love hand pulled noodles and was excited to try this restaurant! The inside is small, cozy and clean. Service was very fast and friendly and they were open on Christmas! Ordering was through the QR code at our table. We ordered a variety of dishes to try and brought a few dishes home to my parents. My favorites were the chili wontons and the dry hand pulled noodles. The noodles were chewy and soaked up the flavor of the dish. The soup noodles were good but the noodles soften quickly so I definitely prefer the dry noodles. The spicy ground pork noodles and the chili oil noodles were both delicious with different flavor profiles. I'll definitely be back for more noodles!! read more

I've heard great things about Ox 9 and had been meaning to visit for ages, but overall found it just okay. We got there around noon on a Saturday, and had to wait around 40 minutes, including a 20 minute wait to be seated even after they'd called us back to tell us our table was ready. We shared; - LANZHOU HAND-PULLED NOODLES: The ratio of beef to noodles was disappointing, and the small flat noodles got too soft in the soup and mushed together. We also got these non-spicy which might be why they were bland - BOILED PORK DUMPLINGS - These were ok -- basic and inoffensive. - SOYBEAN PASTE NOODLES: I really liked the QQ chew of the medium round noodles, but as an overall dish this was pretty one note, with barely any vegetables - PORK SANDWICH: Honestly this was probably the best thing we got read more

Came here for a quick lunch on our final day in the Bay Area. Every table has a QR code for you to look at the menu and you can also order through the QR code as well. My husband got their beef noodles with chinese pickles with round noodles while I got their stewed lamb noodles with belt flat. The stewed lamb noodles were very good. The soup had good flavor -- you can taste that it's lamb but its not super gamey. I kind of wished it had a deeper lamb flavor to the soup. The lamb pieces were cut into cubes and really easy to eat. The noodles were great! They were super wide, thick, and had a great chew. Add a splash of chili oil and you got the perfect meal. I think belt flat may have been a bit too wide -- large flat might be better but I still enjoyed my bowl regardless. My husband liked this bowl of noodles as well. Good beefy flavor to the soup and the noodles were cooked well. Overall, delicious, easy, and quick. Wouldn't mind coming back if I was visiting again! read more

Excellent food, big portions, and reasonable prices. I came here for lunch with my mom, and we shared the Spicy Wontons ($10.98), Shredded Kelp Salad ($7.98), Marinated Cucumber Salad ($8.98), and the Beef Noodles with Chinese Pickles ($16.48). The noodle soup is the star of the show, and you can pick what kind of noodles you want (round vs flat, as well as the thickness). The broth was hearty, and the noodles were thick and chewy (I picked the "belt flat" noodles, which are the widest noodles available). Otherwise, the spicy wontons were probably the least memorable dish we got that day, but the rest of the appetizers were great. My only complaint is that the food was overall pretty salty. As I mentioned above, the portions are quite large (we couldn't finish everything), and the prices were reasonable, especially for the portion size. The service was fast, and the interior is simple yet clean. Recommend a visit! read more

The food here is really good. I usually get it to go and it is always ready and hot when I pick it up

Average noodles with overly salty broth... ;( Came for a Saturday dinner after running errands Previous takeout customer, first dine-in experience Food Quality: 2/5 Beef Noodles with Chinese Pickle: It came with unpeeled garlic (nice touch if you're into fresh garlic). Regular Round noodles: Okay texture, nothing impressive despite watching chef hand-pull them in kitchen. Major disappointment: Beef broth was overwhelmingly salty, basically tasted like drinking soy sauce. High expectations from seeing the noodle-making process, but the overall execution fell short. Service Experience: 4/5 No wait despite dinner rush timing Clean table upon seating Friendly server staff Perceived Value: 2/5 Affordable pricing for prime Cupertino location. However, even at reasonable prices, hard to justify paying for essentially soy sauce soup...Quality doesn't match the cost, regardless of affordability read more

On my second visit to this location I ordered 4 items: Lanzhou Hand-Pulled Beef Noodles: Overall this was ok - the noodles, the beef, and the broth were decent, but not the best I've had. Pork Dumpling With Napa Cabbage: The filling needed more seasoning; the dumpling by itself didn't have much taste to it, and you might need some sort of dipping sauce (soy sauce, red vinegar, etc.) for the dumplings. Beef stir-fried knife cut noodles: probably the best of the four but the seasoning used for the dish (soy sauce, I believe) should have been stronger in saltiness, if not overall soy flavor. Not a critique I make often at all. Spicy oil wonton: the spicy oil didn't have much spiciness. The pork wontons were ok. (No peanuts or green onions as you might get somewhere else but this basic recipe seems to be rather standard for mainland Chinese stores.) Service was good for a (mainland) Chinese chain. We didn't have any problems getting a table during lunchtime. There is more parking off to the other side of the building that you might miss if you enter from Bollinger. I would say it was about 70% full when I was there and the noise level was fine. read more

Quality/Quantity - Simple menu done well. Complimentary garlic cloves, not sure how to have added this to our dish...? Sichuan Braised Beef Stew Noodles - Just had beef stew yesterday at Baby Cafe in San Leandro; another 5 star review. Baby Cafe's beef was actually more tender. But this was still good here. Good spices, flavors, with a slight kick, etc. Large flat noodles, so good. Lanzhou Hand Pulled Noodles - Also good. Had this with regular round noodles. The noodles were amazingly long, never ending. Glad we got smart and asked for scissors. Atmosphere - Small location. Cool decor. The entrance in the rear of the building. Plenty of mall parking for a small mall. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 9pm. Service - 5 stars. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, etc. Actually, it still felt like a local "mom & pop" operation. They even gave my wife a bib as she was starting to slurp, lol. Price - $33 + generous tip. Reasonably priced for what we got. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2017 with your 4 locations. Congrats to Nina Qu and such a successful business. I/we will be regular customers. Too bad my picture of your history from 2012 is too small of a font. I guess I just have to come back again soon. read more

You can actually see the chefs hand-pulling noodles through the glass while you're waiting--pretty cool and makes the wait more fun. When you order, they let you choose the thickness of your noodles, which is a nice touch. Fresh Celery with Yuba - 5/5 Super refreshing little side dish. Light, crisp, and perfectly seasoned--not too salty, just right. Beef Noodles with Chinese Pickle - 4/5 I picked the thinnest noodles and loved the texture. The broth has a bit of spice to it, and the beef was super tender--basically melts in your mouth. Only downside was the soup being a little salty for my taste. Definitely planning to come back and try more dishes next time! read more

If "Hand-Pulled Noodles" in the name doesn't pull you in already, let me put you on to this place: it's so good! I started off only ordering from here on Doordash, which was an oookay experience, but it hits different to dine in. And that's how I prefer it now. This location has a nice sized parking lot, you can order with the QR code once you sit down, and believe me they are FAST. Ambiance is simple but bright and clean. Wait on a weekend goes quickly. Food-wise, they are extremely consistent, and the customizeable hand-pulled noodles are so worth it. I love the largest flat option "belt" noodles and one size down from that as well. The spicy, savory broth is just as addicting. To add some fresh and flavorful fiber to your meal, try one of the crunchy cucumber side dishes or the yuba with celery. read more

Located near Bollinger Rd, parking is few and hard to find. There are lots of seating. The noise level was average. Lanzhou handpulled noodles. Medium round (5/5): the noodles were amazing. Quite al dente and got a chewy texture. The broth was fantastic. It was light yet had a good kick. Super fragrant and flavorful. The beef was sliced thinly and tender. Tap to pay is not accepted. Overall, Ox 9 is a great place for some delicious noodles. There's a good selection of noodles types. read more

This place has been on my list for quite some time! Who doesn't love a variety of noodles??? They have 6 types of noodles. 3 round and 3 flat. All different thicknesses. They don't differ in price either! I ordered the large flat with the Chinese Beef Noodle soup. The soup is perfect for a cold winter day. There is a lot of flavor in the broth. I personally thought the beef was a tad bit overcooked, but I still finished it. I also ordered it with the Chinese pickles which added a nice sour offset to the salty broth. I would definitely come back here to try their dry noodles! So yummy. read more

Was craving hand pulled noodles and decided to give this place a try. They have a QR code to scan to place your order or you can place with the worker. I got the beef noodles with Chinese pickled vegetables. You get to pick your own noodle thickness and they have a chart that helps guide how thick they are. The noodles are really good and have the perfect amount of chew. The soup and beef is really flavorful as well. I wish they had more onions and cilantro though as that really helped marry the flavors. The chili oil wontons were not for me. They are on the sweeter side and not spicy at all. It seems to be a different chili oil than what is provided at the table. The table chili oil is really tasty and spicy. But the ones in the wontons are completely different. It's a pretty small restaurant with limited seating. But there seemed to be a steady stream of people dining and you get your food pretty quickly. read more

We had a fun time at Deer Hollow and worked up an appetite for lunch so we finally tried this place that had been on my to-eat list for years. Little did I know they have multiple locations in the south bay. We were seated right away on a Sunday because we squished into a table for two. It isn't a large place so be prepared to wait if you want a table for 4. I ordered the popcorn chicken, stewed pork ribs noodle, and the chicken fried noodles. I love thick noodles so I went for the biggest they had. My toddler loved the popcorn chicken and even though my pork soup was spicy, he loved the noodles. The soup was spectacular- reminded me of a Mexican pork stew my grandma used to make. You can really taste all the spices and the difference with the noodles. We were also impressed with how quick the service is. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. We ordered online at our table and the food came out right away. They also pack your leftovers up. Exceptional service and you get a lot of food! read more

Very delicious; cool experience. I tried the hand pulled noodles in chili oil and the flaky bread appetizer. The noodles, doused in chili oil, are lovely, though they were served warm, not hot, which was a bummer for me, as I prefer hot food. I suspect warm or room temp is the traditional style and not an accident, since the seasoned egg was served hot in the dish. The bread was absolutely amazing, pieces of crispy fried bread imbued with flavorful chili paste. Thai iced tea was the perfect creamy, sweet drink to counterbalance the salty, spicy dishes. I loved the way they made this accessible to non-Chinese customers. Great ease of ordering with QR code. It's so helpful to have the menu labeled with vegetarian notations. read more
