Ox9 Lanzhou Handpulled Noodles - Noodles Near Me - Berkeley, California

Located next to UC Berkeley with indoor only seating (10-15 tables). Because it's right next to campus, there's always a wait (about a 25 min wait for a party of 3 on a Friday evening; the line got way longer after we got seated). You order on your phone using a QR code. I got the Braised Beef Stew Noodle ($16) with normal noodles (you can choose the noodle thickness and shape; they have sooo many options). The portions are big and they gave me a lot of meat. Their beef is tender and the broth is very flavorful. There isn't really much service because it's so busy, so you have to flag down a server if you need anything. read more

I usually really like this spot, but today I went in 45 min before closing and I was cut off in line because they told me it was too near closing to have me sit. So I ordered to go instead, by the time i got my food ~20 min later, 2 more guests walked in and they were sat down to dine in. In my opinion, this was very rude. The to go order was still good, just colder and a smaller portion than dining in. read more

The best braised beef noodles I've ever had!!! If you grew up around here, you would know parking by the Berkeley campus is a bit of a struggle, but we were able to find parking by the Cal gym. So be prepared to walk! As this place was new, it was quite busy around Monday night 7pm. But alas, we were seated within 15 minutes. It is a small restaurant I would say, most tables could fit around 4 or 2. Once you are seated, you have to order with your phone using a QR Code. My friend and I both ordered the Braised Beef Noodles with Chinese Pickles with the broad flat noodles and holy moly, that was the best noodle soup I've had. The broth was so flavorful and the beef was so tender. The Chinese pickles help cut the fattiness of both the broth and beef itself, making the meal addicting spoonful after spoonful. And the noodles? Chef's kiss. They were bouncy and chewy, definitely handmade. Reminds me of Shandong's hand pulled noodles. I love that they even have chili oil and black vinegar on the table! Anyways, definitely try this place out if you're a fan (or maybe not and you want to try something new) . read more

Five stars because the dish we came here for (the braised beef noodles) was amazing - no notes. It's not spicy at all so you can really taste the flavorful broth but they have vinegar and chili oil on the table so you can adjust the flavor to your preference. The spicy wontons were good but I've had better and the cumin beef burger was okay. Would definitely come back for the noodles! We got the knife cut noodles which were thick, chewy and perfectly cut. I'd be interested in trying a slightly thinner noodle next time. read more

Always love ox9! We were super excited when they opened in Berkeley. There was a line when we got there so we didn't want to be difficult. We had a toddler with us but figured she can just sit on one of our laps. But the staff was so accommodating that when a bigger table opened up shortly after we sat down, they offered to switch us and add a high chair, which was very much appreciated. We got some beef noodle soup, dumplings and an appetizer and everything was just delicious; our toddler couldn't stop eating noodles (so we got an extra serving luckily). So good! read more

Visited Ox9 on a cold rainy day for a warm bowl of noodles, and they did not let me down. The steamed pork ribs knife cut noodles had noodles with a bite to it, and a broth that was so comforting, filling, and all at once addictive, I couldn't get enough of it! I love their noodle bowls for how big the portion is, as well as how they always include a side of vegetables for a balanced meal. No wonder this place always has a line out of the door -- everyone wants a taste of Ox9. Definitely would come again! read more

Ox9 Lanzhou Handpulled Noodles - Steamed Pork Ribs Knife Cut Noodles - Noodles Near Me - Berkeley, California

Continuing my food journey trying out new hand-cut noodle places in Berkeley, I finally made it out to Ox9. And the food did not disappoint! We got here a little after 6p on a weeknight and got a table before a line started to form moments after. The ambience is probably the best of the 4 hand-cut noodle houses I've been to in the area. It wasn't cramped like Li's or Noodle Dynasty next door. Felt comfortable and updated. Tables were not super close together. Good lighting. But it was hard to hear conversations across the table. Started with the spicy pig ears, which I had for the first time because my friend ordered it. It tasted gelatinous, but I had nothing to compare it to or to write home about. Not too spicy. I got their Lanzhou Handpulled Noodle Soup (non-spicy). Food came quickly. OMG the beef was extremely tender and perfect! The belt flat noodle I got was so soft, smooth and tasted so fresh. Good size portions too. A lot of the menu features spicy dishes. My friend got the Mala spicy noodles and said it was on point too! Don't expect good service like the other similar places. It's just not part of the traditional/mainland Chinese culture TBH :) However, what was kinda rude is how a waiter came over with the payment terminal and put it on our table while we were still eating and I still had at least 1/3 of my noodles left, as a not so subtle hint to get us out of there since it was queuing out the front door by now. So for Food minus a for the check. Definitely going to come back and try other dishes and will recommend this place to friends! read more

Honestly, with all those 4-5 star Yelp reviews, I was expecting "wow"... but it was more like "hmm, okay" I even mentioned that in my Yelp review. I've been to the San Mateo location a few years ago, so I was interested to try the Berkeley location during its soft opening. I ordered the Lanzhou Handpulled Noodles ($15.95). The noodles themselves were good and the soup was served hot, but the broth was noticeably salty. The beef was tender with a few slices of radish, but overall the dish didn't stand out. My friend ordered the Stewed Pork Ribs Noodles ($15.95, spicy). She said the spice level was mild, but the flavor was bland, and the pork ribs were just average. The bigger issue was the billing and tipping. We asked for a separate check since I was paying by credit card and my friend was paying cash. The subtotal was $31.98, with Berkeley tax at 10.25%. The receipt suggested a 15% tip of $5.29, which is incorrect. I used the iTip app, and the calculation clearly shows that tip should be based on the pre-tax subtotal, which comes out to about $4.80, not $5.29. This feels misleading to customers, especially those who rely on the suggested tip amounts. Because I paid by credit card, my total came out to $20.27 instead of about $20.02. It's not a large amount, but it reflects a lack of transparency and accuracy. For a new location, I expected better attention to both food quality and basic billing practices. read more

I have made it my mission to try every noodle spot in Berkeley, especially with so many new ones popping up this year! Ox 9 did not disappoint. I would recommend going early because we came at 6:30 on a Friday and waited about 20 minutes for a table for 4. Once we ordered, food came in about 5 minutes. I got the braised beef knife cut noodle soup. SO GOOD. Meat was super tender and really love the knife cut noodle texture. I also tried the Lanzhou hand pulled noodles and the soup was so nourishing and clean and also really yummy. Honestly would recommend this place over noodle dynasty because of the veggies and no msg. Restaurant was more of a fast casual spot, less decorations but very crowded and busy at night. read more

Picky husband's favorite hand pulled noodle place in the area. Quality is legit and hits the spot.

New hand pulled noodle place right by Noodle Dynasty. I tried their Braised Beef w/ Chinese pickled vegetables with the wide belt noodles and spicy pig ear. I thought they were good, but the beef is more on the fatty side and the noodles tasted a bit bland but with the chili oil it tasted better. It felt more like a fast-casual place, but I would go again and maybe try their dry noodle items. read more

Honestly, the food is fireeeee. I always get the noodles with braised beef and chinese pickled mustards and it hits every single time. I've been here about 4 times now and there's either a short line going or the entire place is packed with everyone sitting down. There's a bunch of spots inside the restaurant and if there ever was a wait, it was no more than 10/15 mins. There's only time there wasn't a wait was when I came during opening hours but even then, people start trickling in by 12! I haven't tried anything else aside from the braised beef with pickled mustards but you don't need to~ The workers are fast and tables are constantly being cleaned out to welcome more. Definitely one of my new favorite spots. read more

Wait/Ambiance: - There is a line and it can build up really fast. It's not terrible though! Luckily my group and I (6 people) got to the restaurant at a decent time so we didn't wait in line at all but getting sat a table took awhile about 15 mins since the restaurant is tiny. Do not really recommend going in large groups (2-4 ppl is perfect) because seating can be cramped. This restaurant is a: get your food, eat, and go type of restaurant. you feel like you have to rush because you see a huge line out the door. Service: - Servers were kind and service is fast, they accommodated for my group of 6 ppl by moving two tables together. you order your food via QR code and receive it within 5-10 minutes. Food: - Food was sooo good!! very simple broth but yummy and comforting it's extra good w/ the chili oil. The knife cut beef braised noodles were 10/10, the chili oil noodles were a 7/10, cucumbers were a 8/10, it was good but beware there was a piece of hair we found towards the end .. Overall, if you want a good time w/ yummy food get noodles with broth read more

WOAH a handpulled noodle spot. this is reallllly good. im from the 626 area and i have lots of lanzhou style noodles around. this place was so delicious though because the broth was clean and clear, the meat was plentiful and tender, the noodles (i got belt) were the perfect chew and QQ-ness, AND the spice wasn't too overbearing. all around a perfect bowl of noodles. it was a hot day when i had this, but i could eat it in any weather no problem. service was attentive and the ordering system is online, so pretty streamline. i wanna try other noodle shapes in the future!! read more

Soups were fantastic! We got the basic beef noodles and the braised beef Taiwanese style noodles. Friend got the dry fry noodles with beef which we didn't like as much - it had kind of a boring sweet and sour vibe. Loved watching the noodles get flipped and spun. The place was packed the whole time we were there and there was a line by the time we left. read more

i was in between trying this place and noodle dynasty (which i've been to before) and i'm so glad i chose this place! the noodles were had a good consistency and were definitely the definition of long flat noodles. the soup broth was delicious, and the beef melted in my mouth and complimented the broth and noodles beautifully. the restaurant itself wasn't too loud, and it was easy to have a conversation while eating, definitely a good place to catch up with friends. the dishes came surprisingly fast, and we didn't have to wait long for a table as well. read more
