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.
What a hidden gem! This place is straight forward! No fuss just good quality food made fresh at an affordable price! Great music, great vibes and great staff
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Came here as a group of 7. It's always nice trying new places with a large group of people. Overall my favorite dishes were the pig ears (they had this garlic chili oil you can dip in and it was generously portioned as well. I also enjoyed the flavors of the Mini Pan Fried Soup dumplings. If you're interested in hearing more about the experience and not just what food we got and what id get again, keep reading if not you can stop here When we entered it was not busy at all. The atmosphere was nice with open seating. As we finished our meal and left I noticed that all the tables were filled so it seemed fairly busy for dinner. I later found out that this restaurant has multiple sister restaurants around the South Bay and East bay and go by the name of Special Noodle. The service at the restaurant was well provided. Anything you needed they were happy to assist and if you wanted to pack any meals they mentioned I could help myself to any takeout containers. We got: - Steamed dumplings - Boiled dumplings - XLB soup dumpling - Eggplant and string beans - Beef Chow Fun - Combination Fried Rice - Mini Pan Fried Soup dumplings - Pig ears
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!
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!
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!
Great hole-in-the-wall find. Had the spicy beef noodle soup noodles very bouncy just how i like them generous portions and great humble service here Wil try again

Fast food place, decorated with Chinese scenery wall paper that felt like too much. Run like a neighborhood mom and pop store. Ordered the cheapest noodle bowl, Dan Dan Noodle, at over $15, plus tax and tips. Tipping practice is the usual at the counter where the owner stares at you. My problem is the content and amount. So much noodle (ok), a lot of veggies (good), with a small dollop of minced meat. Not an expert on Dan Dan noodle but this one the sauce was a bit too sour for me. With that amount of minced meat, it just felt like eating a veggie noodle bowl. Cost too much for what I got. read more

Dear Hoei,…
Randomly stopped by this place because I was craving some noodles and I do not regret it. The plaza is really hidden and there weren't many people there and it sucks because the food is really tasty. You order from your phone and you can see the chef cook it right behind the counter and fills the whole restaurant with the aroma. I definitely loved the dishes I ordered but wished the chowfun had more noodles rather than vegetables. Nevertheless the food was really tasty and was worth coming. read more

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 read more

New favorite spot in San Jose for authentic Chinese braised dishes! The Five-Item Platter (pork belly, smoked duck, duck feet, duck gizzard, pork liver) is huge and only $20 -- super worth it. The smoked pork belly is tender and flavorful, and the mixed braised meats are perfectly seasoned. Cozy little shop, generous portions, great value. Perfect place to satisfy cravings or grab takeout! read more
Noodle Express impressed me with its pleasantly surprising excellence in cooking quality, flavor and service. The food experience was one of the best lunch services I've ever had. Don't let the name fool you; the food is far more than just noodles. The chef and team are masters of the wok, which is displayed in their modern open kitchen layout where you can see and hear them at work. The way they controlled the wok heat for cooking perfection was impressive. My family and I ordered beef fried rice, beef chow mein, beef and broccoli, onion pancake, and coconut lava buns. The dishes were incredibly delicious, each with unique flavor profiles. The oil was cooked just right to achieve that perfect "wok hei" flavor. Noodle Express is a restaurant that consistently delivers high-quality, fresh food with excellent flavors. I'm still thinking about the food flavors now and will definitely be back soon. read more

This is a decent place to have tasty Chinese dishes. It's located in a strip mall on North San Jose (across from Sam Sung HQ). It's not a large shop, but fair amount of seating areas. Very clean and modern and friendly service! read more

The pan fried baos are SOOOOO good (do not bite in the center trust me, edges first) and the braised noodles were delicious. I'm sure eating them in the restaurant would've been better (I had to go). The service people are also super nice and attentive!!! Love this place. read more

Great customer service . Chef was gracious enough to give us a sample of her new dumplings to try . Hopefully it will be added to the menu . XLB is super soupy, pan fried pork dumplings were soupy as well. Spiced beef noodle was flavorful although noodles were over cooked. They had a great side condiment that was a garlic bean sauce that complimented it well. The coconut egg custard buns weren't too sweet and had a nice runny salted egg custard yolk much like the dim sum style lava bun. Bathroom is updated and clean enough . Had a modern ambiance . read more

Last Sunday, we visited this newly opened restaurant for dinner. The decor truly embodies a Chinese style, and they offer delicious Chinese wheaten items and mini hotpot. The items we ordered: The Pan-Fried Buns is the signature dish here, with a crispy bottom, soft dough, and juicy filling--absolutely delicious! The Chive Pockets, though small, have a thin crust packed with flavorful filling inside. The mini hotpot is a simplified version of Cupertino Stone Pot; the seafood hotpot's shrimps are fresh and they use sticky corn that's incredibly tasty! The Cumin Beef and Eggplant with Green Beans dishes we ordered with less oil and salt, and they still tasted great without being too greasy. Their menu also features two and three-item bento sets, which seem perfect for a quick lunch for nearby office workers. Great food and friendly staff, highly recommended! read more

Ate at Si Jie twice in three weeks. the food is so good. Last time we ordered the spicy beef noodle soup, seafood hot pot, and some dumplings. All was excellent. This time we had quite a few orders. My favorites or noodles and the red oil pork wonton. All the food is excellent. You don't taste anything too salty or too oily. Very good flavors. High quality ingredients. The owner is always smiling and making sure the food is good. Excellent service, 10/10. The restaurant is very spacious and I like the lights. They have the yellow lights and it's not too bright. My eyes don't hurt. I'm going to be a regular from here on out. I highly highly highly recommend this place! read more

Definitely a hidden gem! Incredible pork soup dumplings, and now j don't have to go all the way to union city or Fremont for din dings dumpling house. I also think the spicy beef noodle soup is better here than din dings (which used to be my fav). Spicy stir fried lamb was also perfect l, and fried string beans were seasoned just right. Hope they will be around for the long haul! Also service was polite fast and friendly as ususal read more
