Xiang Xiang Noodle - Sunnyvale (CA)

5 /5 Amy Chen: The Sichuan Dan Dan noodles are honestly the best Ive had in a while. The noodles themselves are cooked perfectly. The owners are also so sweet!! You can tell how much they love their food

5 /5 Joyce Lang: Xiang Xiang Noodle delivers a cozy, satisfying bowl that feels both comforting and thoughtfully crafted. The balance of rich and tasty broth, bouncy noodles, and good quality toppings makes it a spot worth a visit. Food and flavor • The noodles have an excellent chew and spring, with options like knife-cut and round styles that hold the broth beautifully without getting soggy. • The broths are deeply savoury and clearly simmered for hours, with layers of flavor rather than just salt or spice • Side dishes such as cucumber salad, beef tendon, and various small plates round out the meal and show the same attention to seasoning and texture. Ambiance and service • The interior has a simple, warm, and homey feel, with sturdy wooden chairs and an atmosphere that leans more toward a neighborhood favorite than a flashy chain. • Service is friendly and welcoming; staff check in often, offer recommendations, and make first-time guests feel like regulars. • Even when it is busy, food comes out in good time and the staff stays attentive without being intrusive. Overall impression • Xiang Xiang Noodle stands out for its combination of authentic flavors, handmade noodles, and a relaxed, comfortable setting that invites repeat visits. • It is an easy place to recommend to friends who love noodle soups, as well as to anyone looking for a hearty, satisfying meal on a cool day.

5 /5 Florent Revest: I had an amazing experience eating both the Salt Pepper Eggplant and Sichuan Dandan Noodles at this restaurant. The food came super quick and was super flavorful. The owners were lovely and treated me to a handstand to entertain me. I had a great time!

5 /5 Tam Henry Le Nguyen: TL;DR - Salt and Pepper Eggplant. Get it and take the bet. A friend found this spot through social media, and we decide to give it a shot. When we arrived, the place was quiet with plenty of seating and a super convenient parking lot. It’s run by a Chinese man and woman who take turns greeting, cooking, and serving, giving a very mom-and-pop vibe in the best way. As we placed our orders, the owner confidently recommended the Salt and Pepper Eggplant - saying that if we didn’t enjoy it, he would comp the item. We couldn’t resist a fun bet, and so we shook hands on the deal. We lost that bet, but we felt like winners. The eggplant was crisp, flavorful, and perfectly fried without being too greasy. The chopped sautéed jalapeños added just the right kick. That’s important, because we quickly found out how much spicier they can go here with the other eats. I loved it, but my friend less so. If you’re spice sensitive, I would err on the side of mild. Beyond the eggplant, we tried a range of noodle dishes, including the dan dan, knife-shaved, and sautéed oil noodles. Most were solid, but the eggplant stole the show. One last thing: when you go up to pay, ask about the photo next to the register. You might hear a funny story or two.
