    Mini pan fried buns
    Tomomi S.

    All the foods were delicious. Fast delivery too. Very casual ambiance and we were able to catch up with our old friends for hours eating yummy food. QR code menu and order through your cell phone, I'm not a fan of it but I guess it is convenient. Payment is through a handheld device they bring over. I'd recommend ordering little by little, as I ordered the whole thing at once and some food got cold as all the dish pretty much came around the same time.

    Beef Chow Fun

    Great option for Chinese food in the area. They're quick, efficient and serve great food! I typically come here with my work colleagues. Many options for everyone for individual dishes or to share. During my first visit, I was pleasantly surprised with my dining experience! At first, I came to simply place an order for pick up for lunch, but the host encouraged us to dine in since the kitchen is quick. They weren't kidding! Service was good and the food came out quickly. You can't go wrong with the dry style noodles or dumplings here. I was rather impressed by the Beef Chow Fun. I wasn't sure to expect, as sometimes Cantonese dishes aren't as good at certain Chinese restaurants. But the oil and the char on the noodles were great! It's now my go to dish.

    Free soup with lunch!

    I got the healthy mushroom noodles with chicken for lunch. It was a large portion for the price. It wasn't bad but it was kind of oily and salty so I drank about half the water at our table by myself. The fermented rice buns were good, but I don't think those are made in-house. We also got a free soup that was delicious. Service was polite and parking was easy.

    Beef onion pancake roll
    Emile T.

    This is a great place to share a variety of soups, noodles, and dumplings. The dumplings that we ordered tasted fresh and flavorful. One of my favorite items of their beef onion pancake roll - flaky crust and crisp veggies with flavorful and tender meat. Service is prompt and welcoming. Ordering is through an app. The restaurant is spacious with an interesting interior. I dig it.

    This is the "express" fast food version of the Special Noodle 四姐 chain of chinese restaurants. We've tried several kf the main line spots and were always happy with the food so we wanted to check this spot out. Located conveniently grab a quick bite to eat if you're craving dumplings or noodles. Plenty of parking in the plaza as well. We came here at around 12pm on a Saturday and were immediately seated. The inside was cozy with plenty of seating. Ordering is thru QR code/website. We got the beef noodle soup, vegetarian chow mein, vegetarian buns and the pork buns. Food came out super quickly and all of it was quite good. The noodles had fantastic chew/texture and the buns were all well seasoned, fluffy, and juicy. My only complaint was that I was expecting their classic pan fries buns but we got the mini versions which were still good but not quite what I was expecting. I'd drop in the future if we are nearby and craving noodles/buns. Give them a try!

    A quick lunch place across from Samsung and any 1st street corps. We were gonna see the original 四姐place but apparently these are all the same owners, just some variations of menus. This place is mostly one bowl type of deal, the taste is authentic and they give you a lot of food. Good portion for quick bite.

    Really friendly staff that constantly checked in on us and refilled our water. Affordable and such huge portions. Tasty food! So lucky this is 4 mins away from work. Great lunch spot. Clean interior and just a straight to the point restaurant.

    Noodle express is located in a business area, in Nicholson Plaza off First Street. We arrived around 11:15am on a Saturday and we were the first diners there. The restaurant was small, definitely felt more like a fast lunch establishment but the decor/wall mural was nice. We ordered off a giant iPad that was provided by the waiter.. we appreciated being able to see the dish we wanted to order but it froze..2x. Lol I saw that they offered hotpot and some combo sets too. They gave us complimentary soup while we waited for our dishes. He had 2 options but we picked hot and sour soup. I didn't really hear what the second option was.. lol We ordered.. PORK SOUP PAN FRIED BUNS (6) $13.99 -hot and juicy. Like that's it's not greasy and the bottoms are perfectly crispy. The meat is soft but bland.. 3/5* MINI PAN FRIED BUNS (6) $8.99 -basically a steamed soup dumpling with the bottomed seared. It was juicy and had a nice light crispy bottom but the meat was wateva. 3/5* STEAMED SOUP DUMPLINGS (6) $12.99 + $1 for spicy pork -look very good when it came out. The dumpling skin was good, it was super was soft and it was super juicy but again, very bland. 2.5/5* ONION PANCAKE $8.99 -aka green onion pancake. This came out first. It was hot, not greasy and had a slight crisp. It was a bit fluffy too! I just wished it was more crispy in the middle. 3/5* Our server was very friendly, informative and attentive the whole time we were there. Would we go back?.. probably not.. but I can see why it would be popular during a work lunch. You need options!

    Bad food. The only dish you could order is spicy beef. 小炒牛肉 Otherwise everything is disaster. 鱼香茄子,用的是酸笋 干锅肥肠明显没有食欲,一看就是复炸过的样子,非常咬不动! 还有一份宫保鸡丁,上来我儿子直说这是orange chicken直接退了。 怪不得这家店不排队,我这次对一家餐厅如此难吃有了新的体验! If the food is good here, why no one is in line? So my bad to walking this restaurant. No next time

    So based on a TikTok video, we had to try the food here. Well I must say we were not disappointed, everything was delicious! Our server was very nice and provided great service. Hope you can come by and enjoy the delicious food. And expect to sit in a very quiet spot with a serene setting

    Was in the area and saw this newly-opened restaurant so decided to give it a try! I've been to other local restaurants with this name, so I'm not sure if they're all by the same owner. I was impressed by the decor! The place has a fast-food vibe but it actually has some Chinese-looking decorations. The staff is very friendly and fast with taking order and answering questions. Ordering is done via a QR code as is the norm nowadays, took me sometime to go through the menu but they were very patient. They did keep getting my order/table confused with my neighbor though, but they're going through soft opening so I'm sure they'll get better quickly. I ordered a dry noodle dish and a basket of xiaolongbao, and both were delicious! The xiaolongbao has fairly thin skin, compared to Din Tai Fung it's almost as thin but not quite as sturdy, one was already broken when it was served. There is a good amount of broth inside though! I did quite enjoy it. The dry noodle dish is good too, I packed most of it back to eat for dinner. Overall enjoyed my meal! Will come back when I have noodles or bao cravings again!

    Ordered the 8 Wonton Soup. Although tasty, the broth had a gamey taste. Maybe it was from the other ingredients in the soup.

It is straightforward with a good mix of udon, rice dishes, small bites, and drinks, which I really appreciated. The food felt delicate but still had layers of flavor. Nothing was heavy or overdone. The rice was one of my favorite parts. It was crispy on the outside and cooked perfectly inside, which made it so satisfying. The chicken karaage was also really good. Crispy, tender, flavorful, and exactly what you want when you order karaage. The only thing I would probably skip next time is the mixed sake drinks. They are fruity and fun, but they tasted like they were made with sugary syrup. So if you do not want a sugar bomb or you are watching sugar calories, I would stay away from those. The inside has a cozy feel that reminded me a little of something you would find in Japan, but with a bit of an American touch. It felt clean, casual, and comfortable. The staff was friendly and attentive without making anything feel rushed. Also we had our son so they brought share plate without us even asking for him. I loved that they considered that.

Even with them moving out to the East Bay, they make periodic drives just to enjoy what KN has to offer. I've had one dining experience here previously and was not impressed. This lead to not returning. Fast forward 2.5 years or so, here I was again. Our large party of 9 arrived at opening hours and the owners were so very welcoming. The restaurant was clean and the condiments were in tip top shape. Our family's order was massive. We started the meal with xiu mai [Vietnamese pork meat balls] and Chinese donut sticks. This then continued with mi do bien, filet mignon and beef ball pho, & a variety of nam vang noodle versions. The great thing about Kali Noodles are the multiple options of noodles they provide. There are a number of combinations that could be made with the 6 offerings. The food was surprisingly really good- so much better than what my first visit was. The bowls were presented neatly but plated in a way where the large chunks of lettuce made the bowls seem a lot more fuller that it really was. The noodle soups also consisted a lot more broth than noodles. Having said that, the egg noodles are really really good!! The restaurant cooks them perfectly- chewy with a slight bite that keeps you wanting more and more. Hu tieu dai was unfortunately too mushy in texture for my liking. 4 stars overall. Customer service from the owners were exceptional. They were attentive to each person's order and were so welcoming. The food was good but maximize the deliciousness by strictly going for the thin egg noodles. You will not be disappointed and this recommendation is coming from a person who typically steers clear of this. I'd happily return.
