We ordered by scanning a QR code and chose the noodles with pickles and spicy dumplings. The dumplings were so good when doused in the chili oil! The soup was comforting also.

I found myself in Fremont recently and, in classic Angela fashion, had a violent craving for noodle…read moresoup. I actually have one of Ox 9's other locations bookmarked but when I found out there was a branch in Fremont, I detoured to try them out. I came on a weekend for early lunch, and the restaurant was quite empty and spacious. There is a window that allows you to see where the sausage (noodles) get made (pulled). Located in a strip mall, there is ample parking. Two friendly women told me to sit wherever and order via QR code. I deliberated for a hilariously long time over the width of my noodles but ultimately decided on the beef and pickled veggie noodle soup with the thin flat noodles, as well as an order of the lamb skewers. The food came out reasonably fast, given that the noodles are hand-pulled, and the portions were HUGE. The lamb skewers were highly rated online and I can see why. They are perfectly spiced and so flavorful, without being so coated that the texture changes, and they have the PERFECT fat to lean ratio so they were unbelievably succulent, but not cloying. An order is 3 decent-sized skewers and I absolutely housed those. Next I was served a huge bowl of steaming, fresh noodles. The small flat noodle was the perfect size for me, as they were already quite wide. I was not looking to chew through literal dough sheets so I am glad I didn't opt for any wider noodle size. The texture of the noodles was sublime, so QQ so springy, you can really tell that they are hand-pulled. The slight imperfections and difference in thickness between noodles gave each bite a unique chew that was so addicting. I wish the physical dimensions of the bowl were a bit bigger because the noodles were a bit tangled and clumpy and I would have liked a bit more room to mix and spread them out. The beef noodle soup broth was just ok, I think the flavor could have been a bit deeper and stronger, but I could appreciate a savory beefy flavor. The pairing of pickled vegetables and tender beef is a classic though, and I do appreciate the clean, soothing taste. There is chili oil, soy sauce, and vinegar at every table so I added a bit more salt and spice to mine. Portions were HUGE and I was already getting full from the lamb skewers, so I took a good amount home. I packed the noodles and soup separately, and the superior gluten formation of fresh noodles held up to a day in the fridge, and were still quite tasty when reheated on stovetop. I loved this place and would absolutely return to try the other noodle dishes and noodle dimensions, as well as get more of their fabulous skewers.

Not my first time at Din Ding, but a first time at the Fremont branch. I distinctly remember the…read moreUnion City location boasting ludicrously long waits a few years ago, but luckily we were seated immediately here. Maybe less foot traffic? Not sure. After getting seated, you're greeted by a small portion of seasoned cabbage, a gratis and appreciated addition. We shared the twisty cucumber, beef noodle soup, shrimp and loofah dumplings, and pork XLB along with a bean curd salad. Every dish was pretty good and what one would expect from an esteemed Bay Area dumpling house. Would I venture to say that this rivals Din Tai Fung? Yes insofar as price and quality are considered. Price aside, Din Tai Fung still bests Din Ding in taste/quality.

After my first visit, I was actually really excited to come back and eat here again. This time, I…read moreordered takeout and brought it home for my partner and me. My partner was especially excited to try the fried rice. He put some on his plate and ate about half of it before I asked to try some. As soon as I picked some up, I noticed the rice was extremely sticky, gooey, and even stringy--something I have never experienced with fried rice before. I immediately became concerned and looked it up, then smelled the rice and noticed a very sour, unpleasant smell. Unfortunately, my partner ended up feeling sick afterward, which made the experience even more concerning. The XLB was still good, and I did enjoy that. However, the spicy wontons were disappointing. The wonton wrappers seemed to have absorbed a lot of the oil from the spicy sauce, making them taste very starchy, heavy, and oily rather than flavorful. It's disappointing because I really enjoyed my first visit and was looking forward to becoming a returning customer. Unfortunately, after the experience with the rice and my partner getting sick, I don't feel comfortable returning. The smell and texture of the rice are something I honestly cannot get out of my head.

I love spicy food and can easily handle Buffalo Wild Wings' spiciest sauce without a problem, so I went with the "Spicy (9-10)" level. However, since I'm not as familiar with Chinese peppercorn heat, I decided to be safe and chose the "Standard Numbing Spice" option instead of extra. Omg, I still made a mistake. That Chinese peppercorn was intense and spicy! While I still enjoyed the flavor because the noodles themselves were so good, the numbing effect was just a bit much for me. Next time, I'll definitely drop down to "Less Numbing Spice" so I can enjoy the dish more. Just wanted to let you all know!

My friends and I each got a beef noodle soup and a pork chop fried rice to share. We also split the century egg with tofu appetizer (15% off with entree order). Ironically enough, the fried rice was my favorite. It was seasoned really well, wasn't too oily, but had that wok aroma. The pork chop was also seasoned well and the meat was high quality. I got the beef shank noodle soup with flat noodles. I am a wider noodle type of gal, but I think I would go with the thin noodles next time. Those feel more inherently "correct" for a beef noodle soup dish. I got 3 decently sized pieces of meat. Meat was really tender. Overall a delicious experience. Definitely one of my favorite beef noodle soup spots in the bay. It was $18 for the beef shank noodle soup. A bit pricier but a decent amount of food.

The skin was also perfectly QQ. We also ordered their classic pork and cabbage dumplings. Wow. So flavorful and clean. They don't skimp on the meat portions here, that's for sure. Lastly, we got their braised beef noodle soup. Noodles were consistent and QQ, though the broth was a little bland. Albeit, this is a dumpling spot after all! Service was great--food came out super fast and water was always refilled. Perhaps the establishment has taken in the feedback already bc tbh I am not seeing what the negative reviews were talking about hahaha! Perfect mom and pop vibes all around! I WILL BE COMING BACK
