TK Noodle has been one of my go-to spots since childhood, and it still hits every single time. No matter what anyone says in reviews, this place is pure comfort for me. I always get the #5, and the meat and tomato soup is honestly undefeated. It's one of those dishes that just warms you up and brings back memories--simple, flavorful, and exactly how I remember it. Every visit feels consistent, and that's something I really appreciate. Another big plus is the price. It's getting harder to find spots that are this affordable while still serving solid, satisfying food, but TK Noodle delivers. All the locations I've been to have been reliable too, which says a lot. At the end of the day, this place isn't about being trendy or fancy--it's about comfort, nostalgia, and good food that doesn't break the bank. If you grew up with it, you already know. And if you haven't tried it, don't let the mixed reviews stop you--give it a shot. read more

Not quite my favorite, but quick service Friends recommended TK Noodle, but my experience was underwhelming. I tried a noodle dish, and it was pretty subpar nothing stood out in flavor or quality. Service was quick, and the seating area is spacious, which is a plus. Not sure if I'd return, but it might be worth a try if you're curious. read more

TK Noodle - #6. Combination Rice Stick/Noodle Soup (Hu Tieu Mi) - Noodles Near Me - Milpitas, California

Small area but clean. Broth was hot a flavorful. There's definitely a large amount of MSG in the broth. Chicharon for soup was hard and not crispy. Service was not as inviting but quick to get food. read more

TK Noodle - #7. Beef Stew Rick Stick/Noodle (Hu Tieu Mi Bo Kho) - Noodles Near Me - Milpitas, California

First time visiting this spot. I used to go to them when they were across the street which was a bigger restaurant. The parking can get frustrating and challenging in this crowded strip mall. Ambience: cozy bench table seating like all TK Noodle restaurants. Very plain, simple, and ordinary decor. One single user unisex restroom. Food: #8 Combination Noodle Soup - my go to dish. A combination of assorted proteins in a savory yet simple chicken broth with egg noodles. The one thing that I noticed was the they didn't give you much of that fried chicken fat that gives you that crunch and texture profile. Ice Milk Coffee - Strong yet smooth and sweet without that bitterness. Service: The one lady running the entire restaurant was nice and patient. Overall, 3.5 stars. Still a good place to get your noodle fix. read more

Consistent with the other locations. The broth is slightly more savory than the other locations, but maybe because I got to go! I love savory so this was great. I got togo #9, the broth came on the side and the food in a bowl separately. This is a warm and filling dish, definitely worth it! The food comes out very fast as well! read more

TK Noodle - togo #9. Combination Noodle Wonton Soup (Mi Hoanh Thanh) - Noodles Near Me - Milpitas, California

I wish I could've given this location a better review but I was not happy with the food I got here. I got the combination chow fun, which is my usual order at the other TK Noodle locations but it tasted burnt. I had a hard time finishing my food and I felt sick for a couple of days after this meal. My husband enjoyed his wonton noodle soup, but we also shared their fried egg flour cake, which we were disappointed by. It had less flavor and the red vinegar sauce tasted a lot different than other locations. The service here was alright - no frills which I'm okay with. Unfortunately, I don't think I will be returning but I hope other people have a better time here. read more

TK noodles been around the Bay Area for a while and few are left. If you are looking for decent Vietnamese/Chinese noodles or rice dishes stop by TK. TK Noodles house has a variety of dishes to choose from. The dishes come out fairly quick. The cafe su da or Vietnamese coffee was kind of bland and in a small cup for the price. read more

No wait on a Saturday evening. It's been years since I've visited a TK Noodle. First time at this location and it was very nostalgic and reminded me of the old times. We shared the fried egg flour cake, #1 combination rice stick soup, and #4 beef ball rice stick soup. Loved the fried egg flour cake! It's so good with the dipping sauce and the other sauces that are on the side of the table. #1 is usually my go-to. The meat was kind of stringy and not tender but my expectations aren't too high here for quality meat tbh. I mainly just love the comforting thick rice noodles and broth. Very simple and hearty. Good comfort food! read more

I want to start the review with some key points: 1.) DO NOT ORDER FROM DOOR DASH The item prices are significantly more expensive if you choose Door Dash and you are picking up Example: #1 Combination Rice Stick Soup Door Dash Price = $15.50 Regular Price in-store = $12.50 Mark Up = +$3 or +24% Ridiculous. If you can, just go to the store and order and it will be ready in 10 minutes 2.) 4% Charge if you are using credit card (regardless of the amount) 3.) "To-Go" Surcharge PER ITEM of around ~$0.50. For example, if you order 3 to-go items, its $0.50 x 3 = $1.50 [[ Other than that ]] - Parking is plentiful but it can get packed pretty quickly. The spaces are a good size but the turn-in radius from the middle of the lane is difficult so may be harder for larger sedans and SUV's - Service is meh. Everyone there seems annoyed at you but they will serve you without issue. Could just be the standard way this place treats customers. - Food. Happy to report portion sizes are still generous and the food taste like the classic TK Noodle of old as I remembered it as a kid. I'm glad they didn't shut down for good when they closed their main location across the street in the Lion's Plaza. [[ Conclusion ]] This place (or new place) has a lot of memories for me. I probably have gone to TK Noodle more than 100 times since I was a kid with my parents. It's good to see that the new smaller shop in the next door plaza still has the same taste as the past. Really brings back the feels. Price wise though, I definitely miss the $5.00 to $6.50 of old. At $12.50+, it's getting up there in the price category for noodles and it could be a tough decision to choose this over other places. However, if you ever want a nostalgia kick, thankfully it's still here. read more

As one of my friends once said, "nostalgia is the greatest seasoning". Grew up eating TK noodle since 2 whole decades ago, and to this day it's still one of my South Bay favorites. There's something about their noodle soup that just hits different even though the meat is kinda overcooked. read more

TK Noodle - Noodles Near Me - Milpitas, California

As I like to say, nostalgia is the greatest seasoning. TK Noodle is a San Jose classic that has served Chinese-Vietnamese noodle soups for decades. The portions are huge, the broth is rich with MSG, and the noodles are so slurpable. I used to get the "pink drink" here when I was a kid but I'm sad they don't have it anymore! You can't go wrong with the #1 combination with flat noodles. The beef stew is also solid. My party of 4 also got the egg flour cake to share - I found that it was less crispy than the Brokaw location's. Lots of parking available in the lot and a bathroom in the back. read more

So good! Food is always freshly made and hot. It's so delicious. Service is good too. read more

TK Noodle - #21. Combination Chow Fun (Hu Tieu Xao) - Noodles Near Me - Milpitas, California

Food was good, missed having one of these close. Staff was nice and attentive to refills and leftovers.

This is a no frills chain restaurant. I have been coming to TK noodles across the bay for 10+ years and their menu hasn't changed at all. There's nothing too impressive about this place but I'd come back for the nostalgia. They pretty much expect you to order as soon as you sit down and the food is brought out soon after. Compared to the other TK noodles I've been to I was pleased to see the condiment station well stocked and very organized as well as the tables. I ordered the combination with rice stick and egg noodle and I think that the broth tasted pretty bland compared to other stores. I don't mind since I usually add a bunch of vinegar and there's salt and other sauces to season. The shrimp was pretty clean and it came with a normal amount of meat. For the prices they are now I don't really think it's great value but I'd probably come back for a quick lunch by myself read more

I am addicted to their food. I can't help but come here at least once or twice a week and I live far away but it's worth it. The secret is their number nine with extra bean sprouts and pork rinds then add the condiments like hot sauce and the brown sauce in the bowl then mix it together and you got the best meal on earth read more

Credit cards accepted. For soup noodle bowls, this place is pretty decent during Labor Day weekend. Inexpensive at $14-$15 per bowl. Beverage prices are lower than most. It's pretty much like Luu noodles/TK noodles/New Tung Kee/similar spots with same menu selections. I actually like this location on Milpitas Blvd. off Dixon Rd. instead of driving over to Luu noodles spot on Calaveras Blvd. during weekends and holidays. Cashier lady is friendly here. It's a much smaller setting inside, less busy, and much cleaner. You can tell they wipe down everything here. Small restaurant, casual, but good. Beef stew noodle soup wasn't too salty or bland. Combination noodles were good. Sauce bottled were filled up to the top. Some of these places really have it all together and well organized. No lines or crowds this Labor Day weekend. There's not many staffs here, so give them credit for working hard. Love these low key environments. Quiet for sure. Public restroom is available onsite. Overall, good tasting soup noodles that meet the standards. Legit. read more

I've haven't been to TK Noodles in a while and the service is pretty much bare minimum if we're lucky pretty much across all locations lol. I was craving for wonton noodle soup so we came here on a weekday afternoon post gym session so that I can get in my protein intake. The food was good just like I remembered. I love the combination plate because you get a little bit of everything. I love how you can pick both yellow and white noodles because I love them both hehe. I love the chicharron sprinkled on top as a garish because that extra crunch really elevates the dish to the next level!!! I always get the egg flour cake. Their fried rice and chow mein are really good as well. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. There are a good amount and seatings inside. The guy working that day was really nice. He even gave me a small container for my sauce which most places NEVER do. He even stopped by my table to give me a to go bag which places NEVER do. Cute little old man. When we said bye we said see you next time, he said see you tomorrow! HAHA. There are soooo many restaurants in this area and most people would probably NOT pick TK Noodles as their top choice. BUT for those who grew up with TK Noodle, this place is very nostalgic and it's more comfort food than anything. Think of Waffle House. I did not grow up with TK Noodle but I've been a patron of this franchise since the late 2000s at least. The bowls used to be affordable but due to inflation, you need at least $20 per person and bring extra for tip and tax of course. Bring cash to avoid any CC service fee!!! So glad I had cash with me that day. The old man did not expect a tip, he gave me my change and walked away and I had to chase him down to give him a tip hehe. I will definitely be back when I'm feeling nostalgic and craving for Chinese/Vietnamese comfort food!!! read more

Got a to-go order! Paid in cash which was cheaper but when the dude was handing my cash to me, some fell in the tip jar and he giggled which was funny. 0.50 surcharge for each to go order. The food isn't as good as the Luu Noodle Locations. Lots of pickled veggies and the noodles were overcooked. Make sure you secure your drinks otherwise they will spill. read more

Uniqueness: Classic comfort Asian food to come here anytime! Wait Time: [x][x][x][x][x] Food Quality: [x][x][x][x][ ] Service: [x][x][x][ ][ ] Setting: [x][x][ ][ ][ ] Cost: [x][x][x][x][ ] Recommendation? Their Flour Cakes even after all of these years are still worth getting as a side or main dish. Every time. I've been a fan of TK Noodle for decades at this point and it always brings back old memories coming here for their noodle soup and especially the flour cakes. Service in general is not the greatest as expected and although I love the food in general, the general consensus of the quality is nothing too amazing. Expect basic quality Asian food (fried rice, noodle dishes, etc.) for a decent price and never a wait. Well recommended for those who want a quick bite or a late meal. read more

Co-worker recommended TK Noodle for lunch. First, the restaurant is very clean and service was very good. The servers are quick and attentive. I ordered the Combination Wonton Soup. This was excellent. The wontons were meaty and perfect. The shrimp and chicken were prepared perfectly as well. I loved the noodles as they had a nice chew to them and also soft. I would get this dish just for the noodles alone. With any soup, it's all about the broth and this broth tasted great and clean. I highly recommend TK Noodle. read more

DO NOT COME HERE! They will RIP YOU OFF WITH CRAZY FEES! First the place smells like dirty rags! Then they over charge you for everything!! To go order - extra for container, pork skin is double the cost of other TK, worst is they charge you "service fee" just to pay them! My 2 item order is $5 extra than other TK! Terrible practice! If you eat here be ready to pay a lot extra for nothing! read more

TK Noodle in Milpitas is back. We have been going since the first one at Williams in San Jose. I have tried everything on the menu and enjoyed them all. The place is very clean and the service is fast. The food is amazing. A must try. read more

This place is great for quick, no frills comfort food. I typically get the combo noodle soup with or without wontons depending on my mood but last time I went, the wontons were way overcooked and the wrappers were kinda chewy and hard so a pass on that. However the broth is light and flavorful and I love how al dente the egg noodles are. I love to eat all my shrimp and meat with the spices and seasonings on the side. They give a decent amount of food with a lot of noodles and broth filling the bowl. read more

Went here with a party of 5 on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and there was no wait. Service was fast and friendly. It's kinda cool how the waiters at this location specifically can communicate in different languages which makes this an approachable place for a lot of folks with language barriers. Food came out quick however my family noticed that the quality of the food has fell off a little over the past years. Dont get me wrong though the food is still good. Just dont go expecting authentic asian food. When you come here with the right expectations then TK noodle is always a solid choice plus the prices here decently affordable. read more

Food is eh. Came here on a Monday night looking forward to their thick rice noodles. After seating and looking at the menu did the worker decide to tell us they're completely out of the rice noodles. This isn't the first time this has happened but how are they consistently out of the noodles that they are most known for??? Got the vermicelli instead but they were hard and not that great. Service was eh, its quick but they dont really care kind of place which is fine for me but dont expect too much. Store is clean though and a good handful of people eating. Tables are a bit cramped read more

Their new location is smaller than the one across the street. A popular place for a quick lunch. The combination rice stick and egg noodle has always been my personal favorite read more

The McDonald's of Chinese food in all its glory. The service is there to get you in and out asap. The decor makes for easy cleaning asap. The food is there to satisfy you for a reasonable price at an incredible pace. If you go in expecting a fine dining experience, you will be disappointed. If you go in expecting Chinese fast food, you will be satisfied. I recommend the curry noodle soup, rice stick noodle soup, and the crispy noodles read more

We were around the area in Milpitas and decided to have TK noodles. We found out that there's a TK noodle through Yelp. The place is not that big. It looks like the place was newly renovated as the wall paints look new and the table and floors, are polished. The menu has the normal soup based on either rice or egg noodles. We decided to get their combination rice noodle soup. The soup is very good and the rice noodle is soft. They are generous on the rice noodle and the bowl has a lot of chicken meat and beef. It has also shrimp on top of the bowl. Their soup is delicious and gives you a lot of portions. If I'm around Milpitas and longing for soup, I'll make sure I stop by TK noodle. read more

Okay, who doesn't love affordable, delicious, warm, noodle soup on a rainy day? This is a new TK Noodle location in Milpitas/Fremont. It used to be in the plaza across the street, and bigger, but this location is perfect. It's definitely new and cleaner, a bit smaller, but cozy. I know one day it'll be tough to dine in, once everyone discovers they are back in town! My bf and I had lunch here today. I tried something different than my typical order, and found that i absolutely love the combo noodles in beef stew soup! The owner is also really nice! Can't wait to dine here again! Get the most bang for your buck and with quick service! read more

Great pricing and variety of soups especially if you love Asian food and looking for grub. A quick eat, this place will keep you coming back to try other dishes or take some to go. I would keep coming back if there were more locations. At least it's a well-known chain! (I think the one in Oakland is unfortunately closing down.) read more

My favorite thing to order here is the flour cake. It is fantastic, they add a generous amount of cilantro, and along with the soy sauce/vinegar dip, the flavors are delicious. I've had the egg noodles as well but it's not great. The noodles are mushy and the broth isn't very complex or tasty. The main reason to come here though is the price and I admit it's very affordable. The service is pretty good and there is plenty of room in the dining hall to sit. Bring cash, they don't take cards. read more

Great service! Great food! #11 on the menu is my favorite! Anyone who loves beef noodles must try! Highly recommend!

2 star = "could've been better" Last time I went to a Tung Kee or TK noodle house was way before Covid. I'm guessing 7 years. I didn't have a good or desktop experience but a friend wanted to try the 2nd location in Milpitas. It's in the shopping center that has a dim sum place and a filipino restaurant called KALESA, boba drink stand, as well as a Walgreens. Upon entering, the place is very small and seating appears to be very close. The cashier is directly in front when you walk in. The lady just shoved the menu, while she's transacting another customers payment. So no greeting of any sort. We figured we had to sit ourselves. We chose a booth on the outer perimeter. Table was clean and lots of condiments and eating utensils on the table. While flipping through the menu, an unhappy man came and ask for our order. We weren't ready and he looked frustrated we weren't ready. That was a weird moment. Minutes later, he came back and we read the numbers. He obviously knows the menu bc he memorized it and walked to the kitchen. The first dish was the egg and daikon fried dish topped with peanut halves with red vinegar as a dip. We were going to share so we asked for little plates. He looked at us as if we were crazy and left. He returned with 2 bowls and said they don't have plates and he briskly took off. About 5 min later. The 2 other dishes came out. One was a wonton noodle soup and the other was a combination Chow Fun. Both were steaming hot :) Overall the chow fun was above average and tasty imho. However the soup was tasteless. It definitely was bland and needed seasonings..a lot ! I suspect that's the reason for the numerous condiments on the table. Overall, don't expect descent customer service. From the first step, the menu handoff from the lady cashier I thought was rude. Then the unhappy older man had no emotion. Very stoic. So it's a zero for customer service. 2 out of the 3 dishes were descent (chow fun and daikon/egg appetizer), so its 2 stars for the food. If we had received a hello, a welcome greet or even a simple smile, it would likely have been a 3 star. read more

I always love ordering their beef stew soup. The restaurant used to be located across Lions Market., but they moved across the street. The restaurant was a little smaller, but doesn't matter since we normally order take out. If you order inside the store you wait about 15 mins. My wife and I prefer beef stew with rice stick. The fried egg flour cake was pretty good too. read more

Having grown up with TK Noodle, it was a nostalgic and satisfying experience revisiting the Milpitas location after moving to LA. The food continues to be delicious, retaining the flavors I fondly remember. While the ambience hasn't changed much and remains just okay, it's the comforting, familiar taste that keeps me coming back. read more

TK Noodle - #9 - Noodles Near Me - Milpitas, California

I was so happy to come here, especially since it's a grand opening from the original location. The owner/lady had automatically opened the door saying, "We only accept cash" which is fine but I felt like it was in a rude manner. Also, c'mon it's 2024, LOL get it together and accept all forms of payments.. I ordered their wonton noodle soup and I was disappointed. There was literally 5 pieces of tiny wonton and a small amount of noodles.. I felt like I wasted my time and money for this bowl. This by far, does not compare to the won ton soup from Luu New Tung Kee Noodle on the other side of Milpitas. At the Luu New TK location, their food is not only big in portion but also more flavorful. I will not be coming back. read more

Classic comfort food! I've been going with family since as young as I remember, and the taste has gone unchanged over the years. I typically go with a Vermicelli soup with Beef Balls, which comes with bean sprouts, cilantro, and chicharron bits already in the bowl. The broth has a clean, yet umami taste with noodles that soak up all that flavor. A nice Thai Iced Tea to wash it all down is a powerful combo, and it's pretty creamy! Can't forget to mention the Fried Daikon Rice Flour Pancake, which is a first for me, but a must-try at TK Noodle. The crispy edges and egg mixed within makes for an addicting pancake to dip in a sweet/spicy sauce that's provided. I even saved half for the next morning! This is a newer, smaller establishment across from their original location. New seating & tables equipped with all the necessary siracha, hoisin, jalapeno, and chili oil fix-ins. Quick service too! read more
