    Intestine Noodle(with soup) 肥肠面
    Angela W.

    I came to Spicy Noodle with some friends on a chilly weekday evening, perfect for hot and spicy soup noodles, and overall the restaurant delivered. The store is simple and clean, with friendly staff. You order on a QR code at your table, and our food arrived quickly. We ordered the appetizer sampler, which came with cucumbers, potato strips, and seaweed. The cucumbers tasted bitter, but the other two were delicious. I got a bowl of the intestine noodle soup, which is an indulgent order for me as I usually do not cook with it myself. The intestine was so soft it almost melted in my mouth, and they themselves were nicely seasoned. However, the soup was a tad too greasy to me, and I would have loved more richness, spice, and flavor, not just oil. It did cling marvelously to the firm, chewy noodles, so those went down a treat. However, the soup was too greasy to sip on, which was a bummer. We ordered the brown sugar rice cakes as a sweet treat after. These tasted hot and freshly fried and were perfectly sweet, covered in a nutty grain powder. I wish the brown sugar was in more of a syrup consistency than a liquid consistency, but the flavor was good regardless. Overall, this is a quick and reasonably priced place for your Chinese noodle fix. I would love to try their rice dishes, as I feel like the oiliness may be better soaked into some rice.

    Great food! We ordered the big meat noodle soup, braised beef noodle soup, and the chili oil wontons. All were great choices, broth was pretty flavorful and spicy, with the perfect numbing spice from the chili oil wontons. The noodles had a great texture as well. Came on a weekday lunch and was seated promptly, the restaurant also is very clean.

    This is in a small strip mall across Cheetahs. Parking is always full but they do have street parking on Mercury Rd. Inside the restaurant was small but they were able to seat 8 of us. I ordered the braised noodle soup and it was delicious. We also had the cucumber salad and it was very tasty and refreshing. We, also, had the spicy crispy pork. It was nice and crispy and the salt dip on the side was very good. The place only had one server but she was so graceful in helping everyone and always had a smile. Will definitely come back here again to try other dishes.

    You order using their QR code at the table and the food comes out so quick. The beef noodle soup was so good, the beef was tender and they gave the perfect amount of meat with the soup. The soup wasn't as spicy as I would've liked but it still hit the spot. I'll definitely come back next time and try one of their other dishes.

    We got seated right away and the food came out relatively quick! You order from your phone which was a plus for me since I like looking at the pictures of the menu. I thought the food would taste spicer because of the name but it was not spicy to me at all.

    Food and service was great! It was a Sunday night and there was only one worker running food, taking orders, getting the bill, and cleaning tables so be patient! If you plan on dining in for a quick meal, expect a wait. The food was delicious, they don't add MSG in their dishes which was different so I was surprised that the food still tasted the same. We got the spicy braised beef noodle soup and spicy crispy pork. Four stars only because it took a while for the food to come out. The restaurant was clean and server was nice despite being the only one working the front.

    This place is a hidden gem in San Diego. The owner of this shop apparently had a restaurant in Flushing New York, moved over for his wife, and opened up a restaurant here. If you can survive opening an Asian restaurant in Flushing, you have just made it onto the top of the food chain in terms of the restaurant business. If I have to describe the food here in three words, it would be: simple, authentic, and tasty. I am not a huge spicy person, but for a lot of the dishes here, you can make it mild (including the beef noodle soup). I personally like their shrimp, pork, and chives dumpling. I can't get enough of that. I've been here twice and both times I had great experiences. The owner is also super friendly and down to earth, very easy to talk to. Parking here is surprisingly not that bad despite being on Convoy. The parking lot is decently sized. I'm guessing most people haven't really heard of this place yet, so it's usually not too crowded. I came here during prime dinner time both times and was able to find parking both times.

    Another great time and spicy noodle! Whenever I am craving a spicy beef noodle soup this is my go to place. They service is fast and the noodles are delicious! They are never over cooked and the beef is so tender. It's also the perfect spice level. Love it here!

    Wonton in chili oil(12pcs) Braised Beef Noodle (wiht soup spicy)红烧牛肉面
    Penelope P.

    The food was so good, I was genuinely surprised. Usually don't enjoy Szechuan but their chili wontons were perfectly spiced and comforting. I want to be wrapped up like a little wonton and told I am loved. Sorry the picture was a second thought to consumption. Cheers & definitely make a stop here.

    Wonton in chili oil
    Salman S.

    My friend and I rolled in on a chilly afternoon and left with tingling lips and zero room for dessert. Here's the play-by-play: 1. Bean Jelly in Chilli Sauce - Cold, slippery mung-bean jelly noodles swimming in crimson Sichuan oil. One bite and your tongue goes "zzzt!" - that perfect ma-la buzz. 2. Lamb Kebabs (4 skewers) - Big, juicy chunks of lamb, lightly charred, cumin-dusted, and mercifully lean. None of that greasy lamb-fat puddle you get at sketchier BBQ spots. 3. Wonton in Chili Oil - 12 plump wontons, thin wrappers, pork & chive filling that explodes when you bite. The oil is bright, garlicky, and just hot enough to make you tear up in happiness. 4. Chongqing Spicy Noodles - A steaming bowl of springy noodles, peppery minced pork, crisp bok choy, and a slick of chili oil that ties it all together. Slurp loudly; it's required. Service was lightning fast, there were plenty of tables and the restaurant was clean and bright. Pro tip: grab extra napkins; your shirt will thank you.

    Spicy Noodle - Generous Portions and Authentic Flavors in Kearny Mesa Located in a busy plaza in Kearny Mesa, Spicy Noodle is surprisingly quiet during weekday noons and even manageable during weekend lunch hours--on a Sunday visit, about half the tables were still available. The menu focuses on Chongqing-style noodles and offers several combo options. I tried the Special Sauce Noodles with peas, which came with a large portion of noodles but had minimal pork and a rather heavy sauce. The combo includes a noodle dish, one small side, and a drink. I also tried the Braised Beef Noodle Soup, which came with a satisfying portion of lean-cut beef and two small pieces of bok choy. Note that there's an extra charge for adding an egg. For the side dish, I chose the Sichuan Potato, a sweet-and-sour crispy fried potato dish topped with cilantro. While flavorful, it's quite carb-heavy and large in portion -- better shared than eaten alone. Noodle soups are conveniently labeled with spice levels, making it easier to choose based on your heat preference. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the dining space is decorated with vivid Chongqing-style murals, showcasing elements of Southwestern Chinese culture and landmarks. Free WiFi is available, making it a relaxed place for a quick meal or casual hangout. However, parking can be tight during peak hours in the plaza, so plan accordingly. Overall, Spicy Noodle offers hearty portions, regional authenticity, and a calm dining experience--especially if you're looking for a lesser-crowded Chinese dishes' option in Kearny Mesa.

    Chi oil chao shou (dumplings with chili oil)
    Kim V.

    After looking through a ton of different options, the bf and I decided to give this place a try. We arrived a little after 6:30 and two tables were occupied so we could sit pretty much anywhere. They have a QR code menu from which you can also order from if you are feeling antisocial. Since it was our first time, our server quickly went through the menu with us and answered our questions. We got 3 items: Chongqing Style Spicy Noodle Soup ($12) Chi oil chao shou (6p for $8) Pickled fish fillet ($21.99) that came with glass noodle Plus 2 bowls of rice ($2 ea). Had we realized the fish came with noodles we might have passed on the rice. Good to know for next time! The food came out pretty quickly. The noodle soup wasn't too soupy but it had a gentle kick and was super flavorful with a nice umami balance. The dumplings were nicely cooked and the Szechuan peppercorn came through. The pickled fish fillet had pickled greens, garlic and noodles with white fish and was really tasty. We had considered getting the Szechuan fish with tofu but I'm glad we didn't as I suspect that the dumplings had the same sauce. They have big murals showcasing some of their noodle dishes, which all looked tasty. We will have to come back to give them a try! And trust me, we are coming back but with more people so we can try more things!

Beef noodle soup - excellent flavor overall, including a strong broth and a nice, soft texture to the noodles. Out of the countless Chinese restaurants I've visited for beef noodle soup, this makes its way into the top three. 5/5 Lamb skewers - wayyyyy too dry. This is certainly not their specialty, and asking for extra cumin to sprinkle on the lamb did not redeem the firmness. I struggled to slide the meat off the skewer and ended up just eating it while still on the stick. 1.5/5 Fish fillet - so good. Easy to eat texture-wise. Caution -- a bit saltier than it looks. The bell peppers in particular were seasoned spectacularly. 4.5/5 Dry fried green beans - a delicious option for vegetables to add to the table. Most people will enjoy this one in my opinion. A bit more crunch than I expected, which is not a bad thing. 4/5 Double cooked pork - I've never seen it cooked this way, and am not a fan. I'm used to a more oily version of this dish. It contained a bunch of dried and crunchy... yams? Potatoes? Overall, the dish was mainly crunch with no flavor, and contained a relatively small amount of pork. 1/5

It can get pretty busy just got to put in some extra time in the neighborhood or streets for metered parking. Seating: Inside and outside seating. For inside, reservations are recommended. Room for about 50 people. Vibes: Welcome to North Park, a lot of eateries and bars to hop around. It's a pretty hip place with constant traffic. The spot itself is Retro Chinese-American aesthetic with a modern twist. Think red lighting, plants, and a playlist that keeps the energy up. It's one of those spots that feels trendy but still approachable--good for dates or catching up with friends. FOOD / DRINKS Mayo Walnut Shrimp (Recommend) This is one of their standout dishes--and for good reason. Crispy shrimp coated in that creamy, slightly sweet sauce with candied walnuts. It hits that crunchy + rich + sweet combo really well and is easily one of the safer bets on the menu. Green Beans (Recommend) Simple but solid. Good balance to the heavier shrimp--fresh, slightly savory/umami making it a nice side to round things out. Ginger Lemonade (Recommend) A refreshing sip with a nice bite of ginger. SERVICE Friendly and efficient, especially considering how busy it gets. Food comes out fairly quick once you're seated. TL;DR OVERALL 4 stars. Steady prices, good food, and good choices. Fun spot with strong vibes and solid Chinese-American comfort food. It leans more elevated takeout-style than traditional, but that's kind of the appeal. I've been to pretty good Chinese spots but this is a nice experience if you're looking for nice aesthetics and good food.

In the soup, there were bits of minced beef, chopped green onion, and stirred egg whites. The simplistic soup was warm, velvety, and pleasantly flavored. 3 Item BBQ Combo (House Special Chicken, Roasted Duck, and Pork Belly): The house special chicken was nicely steamed, lightly seasoned, and with beautiful gelatinous skin. The roasted duck pieces were plump, with crispy skin and succulent meat. The pork belly had crispy thick skin, and tender meat with nice rendered fat without being overly greasy. Walnut Shrimp: The portion was quite generous for the price. The lightly battered shrimps had a nice firm texture and were covered with mayonnaise and sprinkled with sweetened and crispy walnuts. What a beautiful blend of taste and aroma. Left the restaurant heart-warmed and extremely satisfied. Highly recommended.

Go here…read more -------------- I came here after a friend recommended it when I told them I was coming down to San Diego for a day trip during my spring break from school in Orange County. I was born and raised in LA, so I've had a lot of Chinese food growing up, and I wasn't expecting to be this surprised--but I really was. I ordered the black bean eggplant and the salt and pepper chicken wings. The wings are what they're known for, but I have to start with the eggplant because it completely caught me off guard. It wasn't mushy at all--crispy on the outside, perfectly cooked on the inside, and coated in sauce without losing its texture. Every bite had depth and balance, not just saltiness. I actually meant to start with the wings, but the eggplant was so good I ended up eating half of it before even getting to them. By that point I was already getting full, but I still made sure to finish the wings--and I'm honestly excited to take the rest of the eggplant home as leftovers. By the time I got to the wings, I understood why they're popular--crispy, flavorful, and super satisfying--but what stood out to me was how both dishes complemented each other. One rich and layered, the other crisp and bright. I never got tired of eating, which honestly says a lot. I even told the staff how much I enjoyed the food and they thought I was joking, but I meant every word in saying I thought it was comparable, if not better then the food I've had in Chinatown in LA. Really glad I came here and the next time I have a chance to come back down to SD I definitely will come back here and that's not negotiable for me

They were drowned in salt! The Crispy Beef was nothing but thick dough with no beef inside. To add insult to injury it was BURNED so badly that all you could smell was burnt dough and taste burned dough. Hardly any sauce on it as well. The Shrimp Fried Rice should have just been plain white rice for how bland it was. The Vegetable Chow Mein literally was just a container of salt. Slim noodles and salt, disgusting! We spent so much money and all of this is going right into the garbage. Stay away from this hole! It should be shut down for trying to poison people. Feels like I am going to go blind from the amount of salt I ingested from only a few bites. Gross!!

    The $19.99 AYCE on social media is deceiving…read more I took my mom here so we could try this new AYCE option this place was offering based on social media influencers. It was empty coming in around 5:30pm on a Friday, but it soon filled to capacity in the next hour. So coming into it, we thought we would choose between Menu A and Menu B. Afterwards, we thought it was AYCE on the menu of your choice + the side buffet where there are limited selections of sides and refrigerated drinks. We ordered orange chicken, Chinese style fish and something else. Again, this was on the thought that we could order more than one item on our selected menu. So imagine our surprise when the bill was nearly $100 for two people? It was a misunderstanding. However, the initial staff gentlemen was completely rude about it and ignored us as we sought to understand. Finally, a second female server came and heard our concerns regarding the false advertisement and unclear messaging. She was able to provide us the price we thought this was for based on Menu selection. All in all - I don't recommend the AYCE option. I think it would be important to make a distinction that AYCE clearly on the menu and at the front - AYCE means each individual selects ONE entree (which is a one small portion) and the AYCE component of the deal is ONLY for the side buffet.

    Yes, there's a wait just like at any spot that's actually worth it. The place is small, so come…read morewith a little patience or just order to go if you're in a rush. We tried a few dishes. The green onion pancake was crispy and golden on the outside with flaky, layered bites.The sweet corn with chili dumplings had that perfect balance- slightly sweet, a little heat, and super juicy filling. The green pepper with corn dumplings had a light crunch and savory flavor. The standout for me was the Beijing zhajiang noodles. That was probably my favorite. Noodles were perfection. The owner was kind. You can tell it's a family-run spot, especially with the sweetest little girl helping out, which made the whole experience feel even more genuine and homey. We were seated in about 20 minutes, which honestly isn't bad at all. Free parking lot. Will be back soon.

    Came for Mother's Day. It's in a nice little shopping center. There's a good amount of parking, but…read morethe restaurant itself is quite small. So there is a line that lines up quickly and hopefully hopefully you get a seat. I don't think the biggest table can be more than four people. There's also a kiosk where you can order to go. The menu is very simple. I feel like the dumplings are actually a great price for how many pieces you get. Service was fine. The food was good but nothing solid out to us, I could taste the freshness in the dumplings but maybe because they're boiled, they were a bit bland to us. Definitely needed the sauce with it. Maybe we will be back to try something different. Overall 3/5 for the dishes we ordered that evening
