Jasmine Tea
Arnel E.

We've been ignoring this small restaurant which was next to a donut shop we frequented. This Friday, was a good excuse to try them out as we also wanted efficiency with our chores and trips. The vibe was definitely casual and homey. We picked our table as there were plenty left before the lunch rush. This Sunnyvale location is popular for a quick bite as well as takeout. That fact we found out while nonchalantly savoring our meal. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel like regulars right away. The complimentary jasmine tea in a pot and waters were served right away as soon as we were done with our orders. DON'T dismiss this "uncle and auntie" operation as another Chinese restaurant. The Sichuan style of cooking we found out was an eclectic assortment of flavors from various seasonings ranging from spicy to sweet. The wonton noodles were clearly homemade, with that perfect al dente texture and bold flavors. The Salt and Pepper Eggplant was a "can't miss standout". Crispy outside and chewy inside. This is ranked up there with other eggplant dishes we've had. The flavorful Egg Fried Rice and Pork Spare Ribs became second string plates due to the impact of the first two dishes. We're definitely coming back for the highly recommended Dan Dan Noodles. The portions are generous and the prices are more than fair. A 10% discount is deducted with cash payments. If you're anywhere near Sunnyvale and craving Sichuan style cooking, this spot is a must.

Dan Dan Mian
Jessica N.

If you're coming to Xiang Xiang Noodles you HAVE TO order the Dan Dan Mian and the Salt & Pepper Fried Eggplant, these are non- negotiable. Otherwise don't bother coming if you do not order these two items. Everyone at your table might as well order a bowl of Dan Dan noodles each. They also do not play around with their chili oil and spice. So we warned if you can't take anything more then Lao gan ma you're warned if you order spicy. I crave the Dan Dan noodles and fried eggplant I cannot wait to come eat here again!

First time here and definitely not our last. As soon as we saw the decor and greeted by "Uncle", we knew this was going to be an authentic experience. He recommended the B9. Salt Pepper Eggplant and we can see why. This was honestly the best eggplant we've ever had. Perfectly balanced in texture and seasoning. The outside was crispy, and the inside was soft and gooey. Definitely worth coming back for just this dish. 10/10 We also ordered: D12. Sichuan Noodles - This dish was very flavorful. A bowl of chewy noodles with spicy and aromatic Mala flavor. 8.1/10 D7. Noodle with Minced Pork and Eggplant Sauce - A big bowl of rustic cut thick noodles in a light flavored meat gravy type of sauce. This is light in flavor, and has thick chewy noodles. Option: add a splash of dark vinegar for a slight tang. Recommend this if you are in the mood for comfort food. 7.4/10 A1. Shredded Potato with Hot Oil Sauce - A side dish of shredded potato and carrots. This is a nostalgic dish for me, so I'll admit I am a bit biased. The texture is like a par cooked shredded potato with a vinegar tang. Simple dish, but delicious. Recommend this as a side dish if you order very bold flavored dishes. 8.5/10

Me and my cousins came on a Saturday afternoon some time after lunch and the place was pretty empty save for the staff. We were told they get busier during dinner but if it is "dead quiet" during the afternoon, the chef will go take a nap lol. Location is in a plaza and there is adequate amount of parking. I'd say service is quick probably 'cuz we were the only customers there at the time lol. But we came for the famous "dan dan noodles", which was one of our favorites. Sauce was evenly distributed and spiced to our comfort level. Fresh green scallions topped it off. Everything came out hot and fresh -- great presentation in classic china bowls. We cleaned through the salt & pepper eggplant-- loved the salty crunchy toppings(fried flour?). Eggplant was hot & crispy! We also ordered the wonton in chili oil - spicy level cannot be adjusted LOL. Your usual standard. Then between the noodle with eggplant sauce and the Xiang Xiang noodle, I think the eggplant sauce one was better. The sauce just seemed richer. The Xiang one has more toppings (shredded carrot , bean sprout, cucumber and mushroom) but I didn't like the flavor much. I ordered the seafood fried rice for takeout --it was fine. No complaints there. Nothing bad and nothing impressive. Their menus have TONS of options to choose from. Can't go wrong with the top favorites though.

I really hope my experience was a mistake, but it wasn't very enjoyable. While the lady at the front acts nice, she's very passive aggressive and in the aggressive way that makes me feel like she doesn't respond well to pressure. But that wasn't really the problem. The noodles, both that we ordered, came out lukewarm. Noodle soup and a dry noodle dish both coming out lukewarm does make you think. And while the flavors are good, I don't want my noodles coming out lukewarm.... Especially when the dumplings came out piping hot. Otherwise, the place was fine. Private parking. I wouldn't visit again.

A15. Pig Ear with Garlic
Kim l.

Had this placed booked marked for a while. Went in to try it for lunch. Friendly welcome at the door. The lady waitress was super sweet and helpful. Food came out quick. We picked a table and ordered: Traditional beef sirloin noodle soup (thin noodle) $16: 4/5 beef was tender and amazing taste! Broth was really good too. Noodles were still thick like chow mein. Lamb quail egg knife shaved noodle soup $19: 4/5 hubby enjoyed his soup. He would have picked a different type of noodle as well. Pig ear $10: 4/5 sauce was different but tasty.

D7. Noodle with Minced Pork and Eggplant Sauce
Lynn N.

I came to Xiang Xiang noodle with my friends, and we had an overall good time. The space is big with lots of tables. It seems like a mom and pop shop, where one takes orders and talks to customers, where the other cooks in the back. The lady was super nice and conversed with us throughout our meal! She mostly speaks Mandarin, but luckily one of our friends was able to translate. Our food came out quickly, and it was a generous amount. However, I do not think it was to my flavor. The salt pepper eggplant is what they are known for, and it was solid. Though, not entirely mindblowing. My egg and tomato dish could be a bit more flavorful. The service was amazing regardless, and I am glad we got to try!

Clarisse T.

super homey and the owners are super nice! i loved the green beans and dumplings in particular and i could prolly eat another plate of dumplings all by myself! the noodles were pretty solid and not overly salty! would def return again!

Beef with quail eggs and round noodle
Sho R.

I stopped by on a Sunday for lunch. The place was not busy. Chicken chowmein was my favorite item. Beef with quail egg and round noodles was good, but was bland from kitchen. I had to add hot sauce to make it spicy. Shredded bean curd was a simple appetizer, but good. The owner guy also did a handstand on the chair. He is very strong guy, plus friendly.

E1. Vegetarian Fried Noodle
Patty O.

Enjoyed the food here ! They have a very authentic menu and I loved the consistency of the knife cut noodles. Traditional beef soup - strong broth flavor. Tender beef. Only wish there was more protein. Amazing knife cut noodles. Vegetarian fried noodle - knife cut noodles with soy sauce and veggies. Very flavorful and savory. Spicy wonton - asked for mild because it looked very spicy. It did have some heat to it still. Would come again and try more of their menu. So many authentic items that I wouldn't be able to find anywhere else.

We wanted to grab dinner with some friends and everything was closing within the hour except this location. Our experience started off fairly friendly and we were greeted right away by what I assume was the owner. We had high hopes for this restaurant and ordered 3 soup dishes, 1 dry dish, and 1 appetizer. When we were ordering, he was really trying to advertise other dishes especially the salt and pepper eggplant dish. We were fairly firm and didn't want to add too much to our order. When our orders started coming out, he bought out the eggplant dish that we did not order and insisted that if we did not like it that he would not charge us for it. This completely threw us off because we really did not want the extra dish. After dropping off the dishes, he completely avoided our table except to fill our water in the very end. The food itself was okay. The broth was fairly flavorful. I also liked how the seafood dry noodle had a good amount of shrimp and scallop. The biggest problem were the noodles in every dish which very doughy and starchy. At the end of the meal, we asked for the check. He told us that if we paid by cash there would be a discount. We waited for a really long time and realized that he was not coming back to give us our change which puts us at such a difficult position. In the end of the day, it was not a huge amount but it's about the principle. This whole experience was really strange to us especially since there are so many good reviews. It's a decent spot if you were in the area but I will definitely not go out of my way to come back.

Excellent Dan Dan noodles! I tried to order something else but the man corrected me (I'm in glad he did). Stellar vibes at this authentic Chinese eatery. Awesome staff. Highly recommend!

The Chef and his photo when he was young. At that time, he was the world champion in acrobatic gymnastics. Very handsome old uncle

This restaurant is known for its incredibly delicious authentic Chinese noodles, but what makes it even more special is the chef himself. The old master is warm, friendly, and full of stories. He is a truly memorable person who brings both heart and tradition into every bowl he makes.

This review is from my visit earlier last year. I'm just catching up on all my reviews now…read more We went when it was dinner time, and the place was packed. We waited for probably 15-20 minutes which wasn't too bad. The place is pretty big and fits a good amount of people. The food was great. Every single dish that we got was so good and packed with comfort and flavor. The veggies were well cooked, my favorite was the beef rolls. I would recommend checking this place out.

This review is from March 2025, it just takes me awhile to write reviews…read more I have heard that they have since had a kitchen fire but are going to re-open some time this year. They have also opened a location in Cupertino that is more convenient for me. Adding Mian to this plaza definitely livened it up, it was so difficult finding parking and then there was an hour wait when we joined the waitlist. We wandered around Grocery Outlet and Savers to pass the time. I came with a group of 6 people. We ordered the sichuan spicy fries and fried chicken cutlet to share. The fries were the spiciest item I had that day, wow! I ordered the Sichuan chicken cold noodles, extra spicy. They were not spicy at all. I left everyone at the table try them and they all agreed it was not spicy. Kind of disappointing, I expected them to be spicier than the fries at least. My partner had the chengdu zajiang noodles, mild spicy. They were good, the signature dish of the restaurant. I would return, but their spice levels are very inconsistent.

I always come here whenever i am craving meat jajangmyeon and it never disappoints! I also order…read morethe tangsuyuk and stir fried noodles and it's so good and filling. I have put all my friends on this place and they love it every time i mention coming here. The meat jajangmyeon and the stir fried noodles is so flavorful and the tangsuyuk is so crunchy! For the price and the portion is heavenly sent too, so perfect. The only unfortunate thing is the parking lot outside is pretty small and limited, so keep that in mind. Sometimes i park across the street from the other plaza since the parking lot is bigger. Tungtungtungsahur rates 5/5

FOOD: 4 SERVICE: 4…read moreAMBIANCE: 3 VALUE: 4 We were looking for something different for lunch and we came across Paik's. A no thrills Korean restaurant specializing in their black bean sauce rice/noodles. We ordered: Fried Dumplings - minced pork and vegetables dumplings deep fried to perfection. Crunchy, meaty and just need a dousing of vinegar. Jajang Rice - rice covered in shrimp egg omelette with the black bean jajang sauce on the side. The omelette was done right, not dry, but the black bean jajang sauce was really what made the dish. Beef Jjamppong - noodle soup with beef slices and mixed vegetables. Comforting bowel of needles with thinly sliced beef and cabbage. Jajangmyeon - their signature noodles with black bean sauce. Very umami and the noodles were done just right. Cheap (for nowadays) and good food, what else can you ask for?

Ordered: Lovers…read moreSampler Plate - the only item that stood out on this plate was the fried chicken, everything else was ehh and just an afterthought. Lovers Special Noodle Soup - I enjoyed the variety of different meats in this dish. It had sliced steak, beef balls, and oxtail which were all tender. However, the broth kind of lacked flavor. Shaken Beef Garlic Noodles - definitely a top favorite! They don't skimp out on the beef pieces which is a plus. The shaken beef is nice and tender and nicely seasoned along with the noodles and veggies. They even have extra sauce on the side to add if you like your noods extra saucy. Grilled Pork, Grilled Shrimp, Egg Rolls & Salad with Vermicilli - very fulfilling and I enjoyed the ratio of meats to noodles. The pork is tender and they gave a good mix of lean/fatty pieces which I enjoyed. Service is great and I have no complaints. There are a ton of tables/booths to sit at. I'll definitely be a returning customer.

Plenty of seating. interior very clean and inviting. The food is eatable. Had the Lovers Sample Plate. Everything on the sampler was good. Cons; Location is in a poor spot. Parking limited and shared with other businesses in the strip mall. The restaurant is next to a medium size grocery store and across the street from a school. I had a large #17 Pho with sliced steak, brisket, flank, tendon, tripe, and noodles. The broth was lacking flavor. The sriracha was so watered down that it ruined the soup when I used it. The garnishment plate came with very little. needed more basil, bean sprouts, I felt there was enough jalapenos and lemon wedges. I had to share this with another adult. probably won't come back. unless I remember to bring my own sriracha
