7 Noodles & Sizzling

An amazing place to get Taiwanese night market sizzling plate. There are not enough places that have sizzling plates with the quality and the flavors this place offers. This is the most authentic sizzling plate in the area and my family and I are motivated to make the trek over every couple of weeks.We always order chicken, pork and steak sizzling plates. They come with a soup, a salad, and a huge plate of noodles, veggies, an egg, and the main protein. I truly look forward to this everytime.The only drawback is that this location is a little small so you can often expect a short line if you're going at peak hours. The staff is nice and friendly though and will do their best to get you seated quickly. Parking is relatively easy with a sizeable parking lot outside.

Compared to previous visit, this time disappointed. Sizzling beef was too tough to chew and its thick brown sauce too salty. Beef noodle soup was delivered with wrong noodles & too few veggies. Service was good natured but ignorant. Won't be back!

One of my friend introduced this place to me honestly I am not fun of any Asian food:))) But this place is unbelievable!!!! I do not think any food can be more delicious than their foods ! Small family business and great place to be in ! Thank you

Had the pleasure of trying this Taiwanese restaurant on a Saturday afternoon around 1:15 pm! It's a hidden gem in a small plaza in south San Jose in the Almaden Valley. It's a small shop tucked in with a quaint interior that can seat up to 12-15 people. There's lots of parking within walking distance of the restaurant. We were sat immediately and the waiter was fast and efficient. We ordered the popcorn chicken, curry rice over chicken katsu, and stewed beef.It took about 10 minutes for our order to arrive. My curry also had the soup of the day which was egg drop soup. It was warm, filling and hearty. The popcorn chicken was seasoned well, but over fried and a bit hard to chew. The chicken katsu was great with equal portions of rice and chicken. It was crispy, lots of katsu sauce, and delicious. I wish there were more vegetables though...Good experience and I recommend that you should too!

This is place we have never eaten at, and on recommendation from many 4 and 5-Star Yelp reviews, decided to give it a try. After ordering, the starter egg drop corn soup and a small salad of crispy lettuce and Asian vinaigrette arrived in about ten minutes. These were actually tasty and refreshing. But then, the main courses arrived. We ordered the Sizzling Spaghetti Pork Chop with a mushroom sauce, as well as a Tonkatsu Ramen and a Beef Stew Udon. Nothing stood out about the ramen and udon. They were normal fare. The sizzling spaghetti (that should have tipped me off in the first place, as spaghetti and hot plates do not go well together...) on the sizzling plate was VERY hot (enough to quickly cook the raw egg). The large thin pork chop was resting on top. There was no way to take off the pork chop without making a big mess, so the spaghetti underneath started to dry out from the heat and some stuck to the plate! The pasta kept on cooking on the hot plate and soon became overcooked. By the time the food was cool enough to eat, the noodles were quite soggy. Not a great experience. The taste, again was standard fare, and though not bad, nothing stood out about it. The food did not taste bad, but it certainly does not merit a 4 or 5-Star review in my opinion. It is average as far as food is concerned, though the service was prompt with good timing (as we finished the starters, the main courses arrived soon after - nice!).

Relatively small and cosy Taiwanese restaurant with an interesting menu mix. There were Japanese items like ramen and curry as well. Our order came out pretty quickly. They offered soup with some of their dinner plates so we got that first. It was a corn egg drop style soup. It was not too sweet and perfectly savory and we cleaned up our bowls within minutes.Spicy dry noodles- 5/5- didn't come with any meat but was topped with some egg halves. It was dry but noodles were still slurpy and delicious. We didn't need any extra sauce to flavor it further as well. It was not too spicy so don't let the name stop you from ordering it.Curry chicken rice plate-4/5- very generous serving of rice, chicken and curry along with a little corn and broccoli. Thankfully the sauce was not sweet. Though it was good, it's not the best I have eaten. The coating on the fried chicken was too thick as well. It took some effort to cut through it.Spicy chicken wings-3/5- pixel sized chicken wings with some dry spice rub. Again, not too spicy. I didn't enjoy these much though.Ramen-4/5- my husband got this and he liked it. It was on their Friday special for 20% off.

7 Noodles & Sizzling is pretty solid casual Taiwanese fair, which although I'm not an expert on does hit some pretty good notes and has great value. The food ain't perfect, but hard to argue with the portion size and efficiency. I'd sure hit them up when convenient and it really helps that there's an absence of good Asian spots in this part of Campbell (like an empty void of options), so I'm more than happy to support them. Overall I'd place them at a 4.5 personally, but no qualms rounding up given their respectable service and location in a criminally underserved area for Taiwanese. Servers were all quite attentive throughout and took extra care to explain the menu items before we even started (in pretty good detail to boot). You kind of have an ecclectic collection of items (Curry Katsu and ramen??) but they heartily recommend their Taiwanese fare for first timers. Boiled veggies - 3/5This side is pretty bare bones, simple boiled bok choi with a side dish of a light soy sauce. Nothing terribly special, but what it says is indeed what it is. Admittedly it wasn't my order, but gotta get fiber somehow eh?Fried chicken - 4/5Pretty good with an extra crunch to them. Seasoning wasn't heavy and pretty easy to pair with just about anything on their menu. I'd prefer considerably more spice though, as it felt notably absent!Clear broth stewed beef shank noodle soup - 4.5/5 For a budget eat this was solid. Broth very cozy and just right on balance. Noodles were on soft side and didn't quite have enough chew, but still homey, so considerably more catering for the Chinese palatte. Beef was quite tender and pretty good. Sizzling plate - 4/5 Not a combo I'm personally familiar with but great on value. You get quite the hunk of steak cooked pretty much to order. You also get a salad with ginger dressing and a cup of corn+egg drop soup with this entree. The sizzle is all good, but temperature control / meal composition could be better. Due to all the water in the sauce it's hard to get a really good sear off of the noodles / meat. Their mixed sauce was a mellow yet homey blend of mushroom and black pepper and keeps everything in a happy space with coziness. I'm a rounding up since I think it's a cozy establishment with great bang for your buck. It's more of a budget eatery with bigger portions, so expectations should be kept in line, but very homey and easy to eat on a more regular basis. Helps the sizzling plate could readily feed a smaller person twice over.

The New York steak sizzling plate didn't really sizzle as steak wasn't cooked to order, but it wasn't overcooked at least. The flavor was okay. The steak was tender but in a way that tasted like it had been cornstarched (not a bad thing or too surprising at an Asian spot, but worth mentioning since the texture changes as a result). The mushroom sauce tasted too sweet, I would try the pepper sauce next time. The bean curd strips salad was really good. It was softer than most places with this dish and well seasoned. Oddly they used onions though with carrots. Usually it's celery and carrots. The place was clean, furniture is new, and staff were very friendly and helpful. I'd come back.

Pretty solid Taiwanese Teppan (sizzling plate) place. It's a bummer that we don't have more of this style in the Bay Area. This teppan noodles and mixed mushroom/black pepper sauce definitely satisfy the cravings. The soup that came with the entree also brings back nostalgia. I ordered medium for my steak and it was good. I've been spoiled with too many higher quality meat recently, so I wasn't "wow"-ed by the meat. They are pretty generous with the spaghetti noodle portion. The sauces they used were not the best I've had, but I still liked it. I was able to save half for a second meal. It's on the pricier side, but I guess that's inflation...

The food here was great, really reminded me of night market sizzling plates in Taiwan. Server was friendly and food came out at a good pace. We went early for dinner (530pm) and it was a fairly full restaurant. So I expect it might be pretty busy during peak dinner hours. I ordered the sizzling New York steak cooked at medium rare w/ black pepper sauce. The meat came out a bit more rare than I'm use to, but still tasted delicious. The egg and spaghetti complimented the steak/sauce very well. Best part was that the dish comes with complimentary salad and egg nog soup (which is one of my favorite)Reminded me of home. Definitely will be back
