8.5/10! Super solid spot for great flavorful Chinese food. Chongqing noodles: 8/10 Perfectly al dente. Nice mala flavor, but could be more fragrant and wish it came with more protein Sauerkraut fish: 7.5/10 Nice bouncy fish that's not too fishy. Great acidity and spice, but the sauerkraut flavor could be stronger. Some mushrooms tasted a little too mushroomy and didn't go well with the dish. Green beans: 8.5/10 Amazing! Would definitely recommend. I've never had such flavorful green beans before! The fragrant garlic perfectly complemented the nice chili spice and the umami from the ground meat. The servers were 10/10 amazing!! Very attentive and prompt despite the full restaurant. Ambiance was casual. read more

Authentic chonfqing flavors!! Yu noodle has one of the best noodles I've had in the bay. The flavor is deep, rich, and complex. So far I've tried their dry noodle with ground pork (10/10) chicken noodle soup (10/10) the chicken is so tender and flavorful. The soup is full of the original chicken flavor. And their sichuan beef bone noodles (10/10) almost my go to order everytime. Authentic chongqing flavor also means the spicy dishes are VERY spicy, so be aware haha. I definitely could not do spicier than mild. read more

Came here with family after having this place on my list for so long. It wasn't too busy on a Friday evening, but it definitely got busier by the end of our meal. We ordered the 口水鸡, and it was so good. Chicken was tender/not dry at all. We also ordered the signature braised beef noodles and traditional Chongqing spicy noodles. While I enjoyed the beef (very tender and well-cooked), I enjoyed the Chongqing noodles more. Food came out quickly and hot. Service was pretty good! Parking can be challenging, especially during busy times since there are so many other restaurants in the area. Was pricey so might not come back super often, but overall, pretty good experience. read more

I've been here twice and haven't regretted it either time. In my opinion, this place has a genuine Chinese vibe. When I was in Guangzhou, the café there had exactly the same aroma as this place. That made me realize that even if this isn't an authentic Chinese spot, it's at least close to the real thing. The food here is very tasty. I've already forgotten the names of every dish on our table, but we ordered a lot of food, and it was all delicious and well-seasoned with sauces and spices. I'd especially like to mention the cucumber salad--it was very tasty and juicy. In this hot weather, it was an oasis for my palate. The food is delicious. The staff is excellent and very kind. read more

I got several different items for lunch here. Duel Rice noodles - This came with beef chunks and beef tendons. Not overly spicy but the chili oil and spices that were cooked with the broth and the noodles packed so much flavor! It wasn't merely heat, but flavor bombs as well! Steamed Osmanthus Cake - Delicious! Spongy and chewy, sweet but not overly sweet. I actually really enjoyed with dish. The aroma was fragrant and the texture was immaculate. Couple beef in chili sauce - Delicious. Chili sauce really did the job in this dish. It wasn't overly spicy but id serve as a seasoning factor an flavor factor for the beef itself. Overall, solid place for a nice big bowl of noodles! read more

Yu Noodle - Signature Braised Mixed of Two Noodles (Beef, Beef Tender) 特色双拼面（牛肉&牛筋&肥肠 任选两种） - Noodles Near Me - Cupertino, California

Tasty food, I usually only get the chicken noodle soup and sides. It's really good, but I've noticed when I go earlier in the day the broth doesn't taste nearly as flavorful. I guess they need to simmer the broth longer? Portion sizes are generous, though sometimes the tables are close together and it can get kind of loud in the restaurant. Overall, food is good. We also like to order the cucumber salad with the garlic marinade. XLB was ok, nothing special. A good place to go for a comforting bowl of noodle soup. Service is pretty minimal, you order on your phone. read more

took a while for the food to come out, but they also seemed to be understaffed & service was p much non-existent. you had to get up to find a waiter to ask for water refills, black vinegar, napkins, etc. restaurant was super generous with the cilantro, noodles were nice, & broth wasn't too salty, but this place didnt rly stand out to me flavor wise. all the tables were tightly squished together and it was quite loud inside so would probs recommend getting to go at this place instead overall, decent, but id probs check out other places in the area instead before returning to yu noodle read more

Hubby was craving some spicy noodles but Tong Dumpling was closedown. That was his go to choice for spicy noodles. We looked on Yelp and decided to give Yu Noodle a try, The restaurant is nice, clean, and bright; kinda pleasant. We were served a jug of water with a couple slices of lemon and some mint which was a nice touch. We ordered by scanning the QR code. Food came out quite quickly, service was efficient and friendly. We shared their Signature Braised Beef Noodle and the Steamed Pork Dumplings. The noodle came with a generous amount of good quality beef. We ordered it with standard spiciness and it was really, really spicy. I think it's a bit much for a regular order, they may consider toning down the level of spiciness or let people choose their desired level. The Steamed Pork Dumplings were surprisingly good. The skin was of great texture and perfect thickness. The dumplings didn't feel dry even towards the end. The pork filling was juicy and tasty. Overall it's a decent noodle house. read more

Came for a late lunch and they sat us down even though they were closing in 20 mins. I had no idea they closed at 2:30 pm until I pulled up their yelp to see what I should order. They were so nice and service was fast. Since we didn't want to keep them too long, we ate our food in 15 minutes and left. We did see another group come in 5 minutes before closing and they did not rush them. I only got a photo of the appetizer since I was trying to quickly eat and let them close in time. Signature braised beef brisket noodle ($19)- flavor was good but the noodles were overcooked as they were mushy. The beef soaked in all the flavor. Mr. And Mrs. Yus couple beef mix in chili sauce ($15) - beef was tender and tripe was soft and crunchy. The chili sauce was savory and spicy. This was my favorite out of the two we ordered. read more

I ordered their signature beef noodle soup. Not only was it drowning in chili oil, it was extremely salty to the point of being inedible. After telling the waitress, all they did was dilute the soup, and it was STILL salty. While the beef was tender, even that was incredibly salty and barely edible. Rice noodles were the skinny kind, but nothing to write home about. Btw, drinking the lemon water only makes it 10x worse. If you're going to charge $18 for a bowl of noodles, please at least make it edible. I can't even give it to my cats. That's how salty it is from the broth to the meat. read more

I went for a lunch with my sister since we're craving for a noodle soup. We've been meaning to try it so yeah we're excited. We ordered spicy beef noodle and ground pork noodle (forgot the specific names). We didn't care for the beef one but the pork one was ok. We won't be back since the foods didn't match with our taste. The place was quite busy tho. It's very casual place to eat and the parking is unpredictable since it shares with other businesses. read more

DELICIOUS noodles, fragrant spices, and chewy noodle. Spicy san he beef noodle had beef chunks, tendons, and intestines that were well-braised with delicious salty flavor. The red oil and soup base was so extremely aromatic, and the bowl of noodle was satisfying.

Xiaolongbao was also yum! I crave this restaurant! read more

Their noodle dishes are sooo good! I might be biased because their food is perfect for spice lovers. I got their Chongqing Influencer, which includes beef pieces, tendon, and intestines. The overall portion was pretty big, especially the beef pieces, but I don't remember there being much intestines (maybe like 2-3 pieces). I saved half of the noodles for leftover. The noodles were perfectly chewy, not too soft, but very well seasoned. My entree was spicy enough, but I also tried out their spicy condiments on the side (via the table) because I was curious. IT WAS SO GOOD. It's not just spicy. It's also very flavorful. The appetizers were just okay, but their noodles really hit the spot. Highly recommend if you love spicy food. read more

We ordered the Influencer Noodles with Beef and Tendon and the Cucumbers. Service was quick - you order on your phone via QR code and they deliver it to your table. The noodles were great for a cold rainy day. We unfortunately forgot we don't usually like tendon. Portions were big with about 2-3 large pieces of beef (and lots of tendon). The cucumbers came out quickly and were average. No wait at 7pm on a Monday. Lots of open tables read more

You know the place is authentic when you're greeted at the door in Chinese. lol! I came here last friday to meet up a girlfriend and thankfully arrived around 11:30 right before the lunch rush. This place gets packed, so definitely come before noon if you don't want to wait. The food here is ordered via the QR code at the table. Lots of yummy things on the menu!! You order on your phone and your food is delivered to the table super speedily. We ordered: 1. Influencer Noodles with Beef Tendon 2. Cold Crispy Pig Ears in Red Chili Oil Both were really good! I did someone say it was a bit on the saltier side and I agree it is a both a bit salty and oily if you have a more sensitive palette, HOWEVER in my opinion the flavor was sooo good and the beef was so tender. I honestly didn't mind! btw, there's also lots to explore in the plaza, so if you're looking for a place to grab lunch, get boba, get dessert, go grocery shopping, etc. this plaza is pretty awesome! read more

Rlly liked this place for comfort food, for the pricing and the portion they actually gave you a lot. We got beef noodle soup and the combo noodle soup. It was rlly flavorful but it was rlly spicy, didn't think it was that spicy, and the soup was super oily. There was close to no service at all, mostly self service, seats were close to each other, you can choose a bar seat or some table that's not in the way. But overall, will visit again! read more

"I'm a noodle lover and I can eat spicy food. But mala sauce is definitely not my thing. It's like my taste buds are having an existential crisis every time I try it. I hate the Sichuan peppercorna. We ordered the pickled vegetable noodles with ground pork and the special spicy beef noodles. The pickled veggie one? Pretty decent! The beef noodles? Let's just say it was a lot. The bowl was drowning in chili oil--it felt like a spicy slip-n-slide for soup. I don't know how people enjoy a flavor that makes your tongue go numb and your lungs question their life choices. Honestly, eating spicy mala soup feels like a risky sport. One wrong slurp and you're playing "Will I Breathe Again?" Not sure if I'll be back, but hey, all the best to them!" read more

It was extremely horrible experience today at this restaurant. I came in right after opening and ordered a spicy and sour noodle to-go. Unfortunately, the service I received was completely unprofessional. When I asked the staff member (a lady in a yellow T-shirt) about the difference between the noodle I ordered and another similar one with meat, she responded with, "Yeah, maybe, I'm not sure," showing little product knowledge or interest in helping. When I tried to customize my order by asking for no cilantro, peanuts, or green onions, she seemed irritated and rushed me, saying things like, "Why don't you just say everything at once?" Excuse me, but if I don't know exactly what comes in the dish, how can I list everything upfront? Her tone was dismissive and rude, which made me very uncomfortable. To make matters worse, I waited nearly 30 minutes for one item. I asked another employee, and they told me it still wasn't ready--meanwhile, dine-in customers who ordered after me already had their food. I could even hear the same staff member gossiping and making negative comments about my order and preferences. If your staff doesn't want to take orders or respect customers' requests, they shouldn't be working the front counter. I came to enjoy my meal, not to be rushed, judged, and disrespected. Please improve ur attitude and focus on ur job I will definitely not come back again read more

Such a disorganized and unethical seating process. They tell you no need to sign up on their iPad seating device, then they let other larger groups come in afterwards and get your seat, simply because they have a relationship with the staff. Showed up with 6 people, and told to just wait a moment. Then another party comes in later with 8, 'claiming' they had stopped by earlier and sweet talks their way to table that were just opening up. Nice... read more

I've been to Yu Noodles couple times for dine-in. Their menu has less items and it's due to the fact that they're understaffed (based on what is stated on their Yelp account. When i was there I only saw one cook in the back and it took us 30+ minutes to get our food for dine-in on Sunday. Bummed but that's the reality now for most restaurants. My wife and I are a big fan of their mala (麻辣) Sichuan chili sauce. I usually order the Signature Braised Beef Noodle Soup. Tons of noodles drenched in broth and mala chili sauce. I got the mild chili level and that was almost unbearable. I can take spicy, but this kind is different, so be careful. Don't even try finishing their soup. They're also really generous with their braised beef, which is a major plus. My wife ordered the Shredded Beef and Pickles Noodle Soup. Their pickles are just Chinese Saurkraut called suan cai (酸菜). I'm used to suan cai as a side dish, but not an entire soup, so this was not something I'll order since i'm not into sour stuff. My wife wanted to try something new, so this was a very positive experience for her. My Korean Father-In-Law had mala for his first time and really enjoyed it. He was surprised that his tongue went numb after a few bites into his Signature Braised Beef and Pork Intestine Noodle Soup. Interesting first time for him. read more

Walked by this place a few times and decided to stop by and have dinner here last week. We ordered: A1 signature braised beef and pork intestines noodles: 4/5 the broth was tasty. Hubby was sweating while eating it, so yes it's spicy! He said it would have been better with just the intestines. A4 chicken noodles soup: 4/5 nice clean broth. Chicken was a little dry and tough. A11 chongqing classic noodle with fried egg: 5/5 spicyyyyy but very good! I like the texture of the noodles and the peanuts. Left my lips tingling. I added a side of ground pork (good thing they served it in the side, I ended just packing it to go). Hometown Crispy pork: has a kick to it, kids liked it but I thought it was ok.

I love this Cupertino Village plaza and have passed by Yu Noodle so many times, so I was excited to finally try it for the first time with a friend. Upon entering, we were greeted and told to choose a table. The waitress also informed us to order via the QR code. It was a hot day, so my friend and I both ordered the Cold Noodles. I typically love cold noodle dishes, so I looked forward to trying it. For drinks, we both ordered water. The noodles were great, especially with the sauce! Since the sauce is at the bottom, I'd suggest making sure to mix it around so that you get the sauce with the noodles. It definitely makes a difference and tastes a lot better with the sauce. The service was also wonderful! The waitress was very kind and patient the whole time and made sure to go around and refill our water quite a few times. This was a super nice experience hanging out and enjoying a meal here. Nice vibes and I really appreciated the excellent service. read more

Located in a small shopping and restaurant center, this place is a little hard to find but is a hidden gem for sure. The service times are quick and the staff are very attentive. I shared an order of the Hometown Crispy Pork which was flavorful but I expected more crispiness from the dish since it is fried. For my main dish I ordered the Dan Dan noodles and while I have already had amazing Dan Dan noodles before, these were absolutely the best! While the dish looks a little underwhelming, once properly mixed, there is so much flavor to experience. Not the mention the ground pork was absolutely bursting with flavor and brought the entire dish together. I will definitely be coming back and ordering the Dan Dan noodles again! read more

Visit: 7/11/21 Solid noodle spot! I would totally come here again. Came here with Shuhan and Lawrence after hiking, and we were starving! We were quickly seated and were given paper menus. You can also order through the QR code. 1) A2 Signature braised pork intestine rice noodles ($15.98): note, there seem to be 2 different dishes on there with pork intestine, A2 or B3? I guess you should ask them what the difference in the noodle is like? + Generous portion size! + Like the spice/mala in the soup! + pork intestine didn't taste grimy, so that is a good sign they cleaned it well! 2) A3: chicken noodle soup (free range chicken, bone-in) ($15.98) 3) A6: Pork shreds and Sichuan pickle noodles ($15.98) Just thinking about the soup on a cold winter night makes me salivate.
