I may have just found a hidden gem in Marina Sq. This place might look like much from the outside (most bomb Chinese food spots are undercover like this) don't judge a book by its cover. The food tho is for sure the star! We ordered a bunch of cold dishes, smashed cucumber, spicy cold jelly (one of my favs, not a lot of places have it), and hot: green beans, noodles, and wontons. Came out fast and hot, freshly prepared. Authentic taste, friendly service and didn't break the bank. I'm a fan for sure and I'll def be back to try other dishes.
This restaurant is in a strip mall, and it is small. The waiter was very nice. The flavor of the noodles and soup were really good. It was spicy. I do wish they had more vegetables in the beef soup. My bowl only had one piece of Bok Choy. But again, the flavor was very good. I recommend this restaurant.
Love their dan dan noodles (they can adjust the level of spiciness), and salt and pepper eggplants so much!! Must order.
Our son and his wife just moved to Alameda so we came over to see the house and had dinner here Sunday night. We came in kind of late and about 20 minutes before they closed. They were still busy with a couple of tables and some last minute to go orders. They were starting to make the dumplings for the next day and very gracious in serving us that late. We got pot stickers, braised beef noodles and sichuan Dandan noodles. The potstickers are crispy on one side, tender on the other with great fresh flavor. Best potstickers we have had in a long time. Both the noodles were great the braised beef was so tender but I liked the broth on the street noodles better, it was peanut and creamier so I will get that next time. Great find, excellent service. Our son had mentioned that there were wild turkeys that roamed the streets in this part of Alameda and sure enough a couple of them strolled by as we had dinner.
This venue has a mix of Sichuan Chinese and Hawaiian foods on their menu. So I decided to try the braised pork noodle soup ($16) and a spam musubi ($2.75) for lunch. While waiting for my food to-go, another dine-in patron had just received their order of stir-fried garlic string beans ($15), which looked and smelled amazing. The pork noodles soup was moderately spicy and didn't really have that much shanghai bok choy veggies compared to their menu photo. However the broth had a nice depth of flavor (in addition to the mala spicy taste) and the pork was tender. I just wish there was more broth included for my takeout order - it barely covered the amount of noodles provided. On the other hand, the spam musubi was a good deal for 1 piece. Will definitely return to try their garlic string beans and other dishes, like their dumplings. This venue is located in the Lucky grocery store shopping plaza with plenty of parking. Dine-in has about 8 tables with 2 to 4 seats each.
Sad to be posting about this place because it's a hidden gem that'll get discovered and get too packed to ever go back. We Loved the spicy beef noodle soup. I got it mild because that's all the heat I can take. If you like spicy, they can definitely make it! The chongqing noodles were very nutty and smooth, but even though it was ordered spicy because my friend could handle it, it wasn't too spicy. He was really hoping for the soup and spice of the noodle soup. The spicy wontons were amazing, cannot recommend enough. Even that was spicier than the chongqing noodles. I loved the refreshing cucumbers, always a favorite for me to order. This place is ran by two people, so service was a little slow. But we didn't mind--it has that home-y diner feel. Felt a little nostalgic for me.
I dropped by Xiang Xiang on a Saturday evening to try their Wor Won Ton Soup. The great thing about this place is there's plenty of parking. I surveyed the menu, and asked for the Wor Won Ton Soup and a glass of water. In about 5 mins, I was served a huge bowl of steaming hot Won Ton Soup. Maybe 9-10 plump dumplings, shrimp, pieces of tender chicken, and plenty of chopped cabbage. It was very easy to eat and enjoy. The comforting broth was hot and satisfying. Staff came by numerous times to check on me, and make sure my soup was okay. At $16.99, I will order it again.
We went here on a Sunday night for dinner around 6pm and it was full! It's also a very small restaurant. Maybe 5-6 tables. We waited about 15 minutes, so not bad. We got the SiChuan spicy wontons, braised beef noodles, and Dan Dan noodles. The spicy wontons had a lot of soup/broth in the bowl, which was a surprise. The braised beef noodles were good and the Dan Dan noodles was but my favorite. The braised beef noodles was a very good portion and you can definitely split it between two people if you want to share. Service was fine. There's 1 restroom and a large free parking lot outside.
I was running errands nearby yesterday and needed to grab some lunch. I randomly decided to pop into Xiang Xiang and I'm *so glad* I did! This place is exactly what I look for: a small, unpretentious hole-in-the-wall offering fantastic service and incredible food. I ordered the Dan Dan Noodle bowl and asked for it "medium spicy," and it was perfect: thick, firm noodles with a sauce that fell somewhere between "oh wow that's spicy" and "oh wow that's tangy!" I also had a spam musubi which was very tasty too. The food is great but the best part was the warm and welcoming staff, who made me feel like a friend visiting their home rather than a customer in a business. 10/10 experience, eagerly looking forward to returning with friends to dive deeper into the menu!
First time and will definitely be back It made me miss home Food is just amazing The portion is huge and filling The heat really hits but doesn't linger so you can keep eating I got the food togo but service was fast and professional Will need to properly sit and enjoy the place again
Xiang Xiang Noodle opens in Honolulu BBQ's space, retaining BBQ menu, adding Sichuan eats. Interior similar with Hawaiian food pics on walls. XX may be related to a similar eatery in Sunnyvale. Same name. Similar menu. XX reads "village fragrance". Literal meaning a semblance.... Seated quickly. Host semi-fluent in English, fluent in Mandarin Chinese. Staff, probably seldom meeting a Mandarin speaker patron, came out to talk. Overheard them telling each other what I talked with to the other. My Mandarin rusty, forgetting xue(school). Saying kuzi (pants) instant of Ja Ke (jacket). Offerings: Hawaiian BBQ. Limited lunch Sichuan appetizers, entrees. Dinner has hot pot... Bites: Sichuan Style spicy cold noodles (13.95) -came out in 8 minutes. Not stirred yet. Had to self-mix the round noodles, sesame oil, Sichuan chili oil, green onions, julienned cucumbers... -initially too hot, coughed violently for seconds. Haven't tasted chili sauce for months. -informed noods came from local noodle factory. -lst time for spicy cold noodles. Surprised noods were firm & chewy, not Al dente. Cooling warm noods with cold water probably harden them. Sichuan Bean Jelly with mala sauce (9.95) -Mala surprisingly not too hot. Maybe tamed by owners as they weren't sure of my chili tolerance. -bean jellies can be made from starches from peas, mung beans, potato's.. -topped with mala sauce, green onions, chili pieces. It's a cold dish. Should be eaten cold. 4.5 stars worthy quality: good. Could be spicier. Quantity: very good. Some dishes $$ cheaper than others. *Chongqing was in Sichuan until it became a province in '97.
I put in Xiancg Xiang Noodle in Google Map and ended up at a Hawaiian BBQ spot?! Seems like Xiang Xiant Noodle took over the previous spot because they're serving up authentic noodles and the usual Hawaiian BBQ options. We both ordered their braised beef noodles and was impressed. The noodles had good texture; the spiciness was a bit much for mild but tolerable. Prices are a bit more down to earth than other spots too! It's an interesting experience because the interior is very much like Hawaiian BBQ.. feels wrong but the food tasted good .
Nice hidden gem within the Marina Villa Plaza next to Lucky's. Seems like it is family owned! My bf and I went on a Tuesday night for dinner and had the beef noodle soup. It was really really good! Reminded me of those other noodle places similar to OX 9 Lanzhou. This hit the spot for me and the servings are way bigger than other noodle shops. The beef was tender and the noodles were very filling. The woman working was very attentive and kind. The spot felt like a cozy home. It's very simple in there and the vibes are great. read more

Thank you yelpers to sharing the Intel on this great spot. Back here working close by and no one to have lunch with as a returning employee , I found my way literally down the street here in the shopping center. The decor is simple and nothing to write home about but it's clean and I was waited on in no time along with my room temp glass of water. So many options! I landed on zha jiang mian mild. While the bowl looks small, it is packed with perfectly chewy noodles, thinly sliced cucumbers, carrots and the ground meatthat is seasoned heavily with garlic and fermented soy bean paste. The balance of flavors is just perfect and saucy enough to cover every noodle when you pull the noodles up and back. I worked my way through the bowl and didn't look like I made a dent. Had to take some home! Looking forward to coming back for the beef noodle bowl. Plenty of free parking and even a couple tables outside. The crew here is efficient and nice. Please support this local business! read more

SOOO GOOD!!! I can honestly say this is the best rice noodle dish I've ever had in the Bay Area!! My favorite is the Clay Pot Beef Rice Noodles. The beef chunks are huge and taste super fresh, and the noodles have the perfect chewy texture. I've genuinely never had rice noodles this good before!!! read more

Searching yelp for somewhere I haven't tried that was open Monday mid afternoon. Came upon the reviews for Xiang Xiang and it looked like a solid choice. Indeed it was. Simple menu but lots of options. I went with the braised beef noodle soup, top of the menu. Spice level was nice and the meat was fall apart tender and very tasty. Service was prompt and friendly. Very reasonably priced. I'd like to run it up next time with a couple of sides. There were a few families eating but was happy to see they had a spot for a single diner ready to go. I will be back very soon! read more
Came by on Sunday around noon on a warm day. The place wasn't too busy. Parking is pretty easy as this restaurant is in a shopping center. The owners are really nice and accommodating. We asked for our dishes to be less spicy and no peanuts on the cold noodles - both dishes were still pretty spicy for my husband but not to the point where a dish is un-eatable. The food came out within 5 minutes; quality and taste were just ok. As an avid beef noodle soup lover, I don't think this place is it for the beef noodles, but I wouldn't mind coming again to try their other items. As other reviews mentioned, they also serve Hawaiian food. read more

Oh my goodness. I came here for the first time and I ordered the beef braised noodles (medium heat) and the salt and pepper eggplant. Everything was 10/10 sooo good. I never knew I could LOVE eggplant. It was perfectly crispy and seasoned. The soup??? The beef sooo tender, broth spicy and flavorful and the noodles were chewy and perfect. The owners were sooo kind and attentive. Very fast service, food was hot and fresh. I'll definitely be back. I want to try their wonton soup but I'd get the same order a hundred times over. Also, the portions are huge and priced so well! Everything was amazing! Even coming at the end of the day, the owners were so sweet and didn't make you feel rushed or anything! 11/10 highly recommend! read more

Located in a small shopping center in an old L&L Hawaiian BBQ space, Xiang Xiang Noodle retains a small amount of menu items from its predecessor but everyone really should come here for their spicy Chongqing cuisine. It really is very tasty and I'm not even a huge spicy food fan. I had the braised pork belly soup noodles which had an amazing savory broth, tender and flavorful pork bites and chewy delicious noodles. Just get it and you'll be very happy. The owners are friendly and will make great suggestions, providing a homely style of service. Please tell your friends to try this restaurant out! read more

I come here probably every other week. It's so good. A lot of the flavor is in the chilli oil so I would recommend going as spicy as you can. My go-to is the beef noodle soup and gyoza with chilli on the side. Definitely worth checking this place out. read more

I was in the area and was looking for a good place for dinner. Found this place on yelp and figured I could give it a try since it was close. Was craving for some Hawaiian food but ended up getting the Sichuan Dandan noodles and fried gyoza. I was warned it was spicy and it didn't disappoint. My nose was runny but I kept going for more bites. Before I knew it all the food was gone! I've been to a few sichuan restaurants and it was all spice and no flavor but the balance here is perfect! 10/10 would recommend. Great and friendly service. Food came out fast. Amazing flavors! read more
