    Braised beef knife cut noodles which
    Michelle N.

    Tried the popcorn chicken (spicy) and it was not too spicy at all. Generous portion size, tender chicken and good seasoning. Would order again! My husband liked the large flat noodles but I thought they were a bit too thick for my preference. Maybe I'll try the small flat noodles next time.

    With so many Chinese hand-pulled noodle restaurants around Berkeley, it takes a lot to stand out--but Ox9 consistently delivers. One of my favorite things about Ox9 is the ability to customize your noodle width. Everyone knows that noodle thickness is a very personal preference, and I appreciate that they let you choose exactly what you like. Whether you prefer thinner noodles that soak up the broth or wider noodles with a chewier bite, there's an option for everyone. The noodles themselves are always fresh and springy. Combined with the rich, flavorful broth and generous amount of toppings, the portions make it one of the best values in the area. My go-to is the braised beef with Chinese pickle. Although the restaurant is on the smaller side, I was pleasantly surprised by how accommodating they were when our officer board dinner brought in a party of nine and we were able to sit together. Ox9 has earned its place as my go-to spot for hand-pulled noodles, quick service, and generous portions at a reasonable price.

    Flat noodles with braised beef
    Jennifer L.

    Super warm and comforting on a cold day or when you want something light and packed with flavor. Even though the broth looks light in some pictures, the flavor of the broth is so good. We had because noodle dynasty was closed. This is just as good as noodle dynasty in my opinion. Extra points for being able to adjust and modify the shape and size of the noodle. Braised beef noodle soup: the round small noodles were so good but there was so much it felt like an endless limitless amount of noodles. The more I ate the more noodles popped up! That was something I noticed but overall the braised beef was so tender, juicy and just melts in your mouth! Garlic cucumber salad: delicious garlickly and refreshing! Could never go wrong with ordering this! ( add some chili oil for extra flavor) Dry noodle: tender meat with flat noodles for that extra bounce!

    Found this place on a whim and extremely happy we did! We walked in and the restaurant was completely full on a Friday afternoon. Understandably so since it's right by campus. We waited for about 5-10 minutes before being directed to our table. There is a QR code on the table for you to order from and the ordering process was quick and simple! We put in our order and pretty much received our food immediately. The cucumber salad had the perfect amount of kick and the noodle soup hit the spot. The noodles itself had the right amount of bounce and chew and paired perfectly with the fall off the bone beef. We were in and out in about 45 mins. This is possibly one of my favorite places on Telegraph and can't wait to come back when it starts to get cold outside!!

    Chili oil dry Wide noodles with braised beef
    Cynthia C.

    Impressive eats here via DD: - wide noodles with braised beef, lots of beef, bean sprouts, carrots, bok choy - every element was prepared with precision - spicy pig ears, cut into bite sized pieces and still had a good crunch, good seasoning Definitely stronger on the MSG here, if you're sensitive like me. Still, 5 stars, because it's that good but won't be on a regular rotation for me bc of the higher MSG usage here.

    I visited on Monday evening after a hike and expected it to be crowded, but it wasn't--probably because UCB hadn't started yet. I found a seat immediately, and ordering was simple--just scan a QR code. The staff was friendly, and the cozy atmosphere made it even more enjoyable. They're famous for their noodles, which tasted very fresh. I wouldn't recommend the beef bone dish since it lacked enough beef and was hard to pull apart. However, the soup noodles and dry noodles were excellent. I enjoyed the spicy kick in the dry noodle dish, and the side dishes were flavorful. The calamari was limited to a few pieces, but overall, we had a great meal.

    Dry noodle hand pulled with chicken
    Daniel S.

    $17.63 Chicken stir fry knife cut noodles was: oily! The flavor profile was a bit unusual, not bad mind you. However, I tried to doctor it up to cut the oiliness with the table condiments as best I could. Given the high Yelp rating, I'll give the soup a try next time but...

    Stopped in here with my fiance wanting something really warm on a cooler night. I ordered the og lanzhou noodles with small flat noodles (?). I thought it was a really clean broth with tender meat and noodles with a good spice level. I think adding more chili oil did make it better if you wanted a little more zing. We also ordered the cold beef and adding that to the soup was actually a good combo. Not life changing but still a good noodle place. Food also comes out pretty quick.

    Braised Beef Noodles with Chinese Pickles / 老坛酸菜牛肉面
    Isaac N.

    Absolutely worth the wait! The noodles are so giant and had the right amount of chewiness. The chef is pulling the noodles in plain sight and he must be a martial artist or something because he's got incredible endurance for pulling noodles all throughout dinner service! Ambiance is relaxed, you order through a QR code and they bring you your food in 14 minutes! Best tasting hand pulled noodles I've had in the Bay Area so far!!!

    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.

    Ox9 Lanzhou Handpulled Noodles opened recently where Mochiholic mochi donuts once was. Infrastructure has Ox9 signage decor. Ox9 is known for their housemade handpulled noodles and broth boiled over 20 hours with 3O. Ingredients. Was greeted, seated and given laminated menu by 1of 4 associates on the floor. Ordered. Food came in 6 minutes. Flatscreen on wall showed noodles being made and food prep. Offerings (Northwest China): desserts, noodles, drinks, dry noodles & fried rice. Drinks.. Slurps:mala spicy beef noodles (15.99) med noods. -choose regular round noods. Came Al dente. -broth initially tasted very salty. Didn't taste mala burning sensation. Assumed noods cooked lst, broth poured over it, mala sauce pour last. -noodle choices ranged from small round to large flat. -green onions, bok Choy, and small pieces tender beef in broth. Everything deliz. -got a plastic bib to stop the soup droplets from soiling my jacket. 4.5 stars Worthy! Service: 5 stars quality: 4 stars: great broth, good noods, didn't understand why mala sauce so weak. Quantity: reasonable.

    Soooo fire !!!! The soup is to die for.. seriously. 10/10 and worth the wait. Ambiance was fine.. it's a little crowded but whatever

    Jasmine W.

    Came by on a weekday summer around noon and appreciated being able to get a table of 5 without waiting. Ordering online was efficient and we tried one of the soup noodles, chicken stir fried noodles, pork dumplings, and garlic cucumber salad. Food came out fresh and fast, did extra noodles for all orders and everyone's favorite was the stir fried noodles even though I think it was nice for us to try a variety of items. Cool that you can choose the noodle type, wish that we could watch the noodles being made live, saw there's an even more popular noodle shop just south but is closed for the summer. Affordable, lots of leftovers, would come here again! (Service was lackluster - we had to request for more water and utensils but no expectations for a casual Asian spot like this), relatively clean single bathroom, limited parking as is usual for this area, cannot accommodate larger parties (max typical table size is around 4)

Since there is fairly limited seating, wait times can be rough, especially if you're going during lunch or dinner rush. I've waited 30-45 minutes before. The restaurant is pretty small so tables are pretty close to each other and it may be difficult to be seated quickly if you're going in with a larger group. That asides, the food as Noodle Dynasty is unmatched. I typically get their noodle soups, which are a massive portion size, & appetizers, such as lamb skewers, spicy wontons, and chinese doughnuts. To this day, I think that the spicy wontons are the best in the area - super flavorful beyond just the chili oil taste. Definitely recommend getting these! You order on a tablet & food comes out so fast. Could not recommend this place enough!

The corn cakes were fried just right so they were golden on the outside but soft on the inside and the slaw and sweet sauce elevated it. I would get both appetizers again.

Massaman Gai Curry (5/5) - the curry was so flavorful in this dish and the soft potato complimented it very well. Definitely the winner of the night. Chicken Khao Pad (Fried Rice) (3/5) - rice was a little too dry and the thinly cut chicken again did not pop out in the dish. Overall, very fresh and authentic Thai dishes.

The green curry noodles came with vermicelli, and I wanted to try it since it's what they recommend, but it just was not the right texture for the curry I felt.
