It was a pleasant surprise indeed to find mee pok dry noodles in San Francisco city that made me feel closer to home in Singapore. The lady in charge told me they were Teochew from Vietnam. The restaurant was just 10min walk from Hilton at union square.I had the house special dry noodles, but I have every reason to believe that the noodles soup would be equally good if not better, because the broth was really good. I’ve never had a bowl of noodles with so many ingredients in it - char Siew, pig kidney, minced pork, pork slices, 3 prawns, 4-5 wontons, fish balls and fish cake. I figured out later that thick noodles means mee-pok and thin noodles means mee gia back home.The egg noodles was nicely cooked, for ramen lovers who would prefer firmer texture. It was lightly yet nicely seasoned which avoided overpowering the rest of the dish. One highlight for me was the pig kidney, it was very tender yet well cooked. Love the minced pork/pork slices and the prawns were rather big and fresh.Finally their service was really good! The lady in charge was very patient, friendly and helpful. When I was walking up to the counter to pay, she asked if I liked the noodles. I immediately gave her a thumbs up sign! Not only because a meal at USD13-15 was very reasonable especially in the downtown area, but the fact that one could have noodles close to what we have back home was truely heart warming! I will definitely go back there for more.
Casual and home-y mom n pop noodle shop. The duck and seafood are solid, prices average high for SF. The fried fish cakes were under seasoned and pickled veg a bit sweet for my preference.
Loved the beef stew with the longevity egg noodle, my second time here and I am a very happy customer, mama and papa shop everything is made in house and I could taste the love and care that is put in to food. EVERYONE COME HERE AND SUPPORT THIS DELICIOUS NOODLE PLACE!!
Lots of noodles, the soup was okay. Duck was soft. Neighborhood was a little sketch though
Hidden gem but not unknown, downtown sf legend level noodle shop. Seafood dry egg noodles is my choice of Sunday lunch pleasure
Flavorful food for a small mom&pop shop. Very fast service. My bo kho soup didn't taste like what I'm used to, but it was still good. The hot fresh soy milk was delicious!
Got the N2 house special egg noodle soup and N4 braised duck with egg noodle soup. Both were exquisitely delicious and different. Service was quick, efficient, and helpful. Ask for their recommendations if you don’t know what to order!
An amazing gem found in SF Tenderloin. We got the wonton lomein and it was ?. We asked for jalapeños which adds a refreshing crunch and kick. The noodle and the broth comes in separate bowls. I first get a few spoonful of broth on top of the noodle, add some chili oil, and mix the noodle up.Definitely one of the best wonton mein I’ve had.Came here to celebrate my little bros early birthday. Good food and good company, you can’t beat that.Neighborhood is a little bit sketch and rough though. This place is located deep in the tenderloin so make sure you’re aware of where you step and your surroundings. Life can be an unforgiving place but definitely rewards those who take risks.Hope to have a wild new year with y’all.Journey with me on IG @BlackTigerEats
Stopping by this place on a Friday and I was glad they were opened for dine-in. We parked across the street, but try to come early because parking is pretty limited.I think the broth was really good. However, if you’re like me who likes it a bit saltier, there are plenty of condiments on the table for you to add.They accept cash and card now! So no worries if you don’t have cash. Overall a good place if you crave won tons and noodle soup.
There's nothing better than a hot bowl of noodles on a cold winter day. I grew up eating prepackaged udon, not the freshly made noodles you get here. Their noodles are made on site which is pretty neat. How many restaurants can say they make their own fresh noodles in house?!
