    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!

    Tried the belt flat noodles which were good but too wide. Also tried the medium round which had a nice chew but I prefer the flat noodles. Next time I'd want to try the large flat noodles.

    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.

    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!!!

    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.

    $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...

    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)

    Braised Beef w/ Chinese Pickle

    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.

    Ox9 is incredible. Came here on a rainy day with my friends and we were blown away by their food. Their menu is scannable so we were able to order and pay separately which was great for our group of 5, no awkward bill splitting. We each ordered a bowl without realizing how big the portions were. I was starving so I finished mine but these are definitely shareable sizes! The broth and noodles are delicious, and the pork in my bowl was cooked perfectly it melted in my mouth. I highly recommend ordering the cucumber salad as an appetizer it was so refreshing and arguably better than Din Tai Fung's. If there's one thing you can't skip, it's their dumplings which are unfortunately not pictured because we demolished them in 5 seconds. If you're in the Berkeley area craving good authentic noodles then Ox9 is a great restaurant to check out!

    Noodles!

    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!

    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) .

This might work well in a bustling location full of non-exempt office workers who have strict limits on their lunch hours. However, I decided to try this particular spot and arrived when there was not a single customer. Then a deranged homeless woman came in. Fortunately I was able to dodge her as I was reviewing the giant backlit menu. I didn't think anything about the emptiness of the space until my order was ready. I decided to try the $13.99 Samgyeopal Ssam-jang, which featured grilled pork belly mixed with veggie soybean paste topped with fried onion, roasted seaweed, and sesame oil, all over rice (Photo 7). The bowl was a strange contrast of textures. Flavor wise, there were more misses than hits. The pork belly was overcooked with the chewy meat rendered almost inedible. The rice was weirdly mushy like it was sitting in lukewarm water far too long. The rest of the ingredients were nondescript. Definitely a hard pass on this bowl in the future. The only reason I'm not leaving one star for this business is that I felt bad for the one soft-spoken server who had the temerity to deal with the unrelenting rantings of the homeless woman.
