Food - 5/5. Wanted to have some hot noodle soup and decided to try this place. We love their rice noodle and the soup broths were tasty. We ordered the pickle pepper rice noodle which is pretty spicy with right balance of sourness. I read a review who gave low rating on their Sauerkraut noodle. The reviewer felt it was bland. Glad I ordered the Sauerkraut rice noodle despite that one review. I had the vegetarian version and asked for pork bone broth instead. I was surprised how good it was (without the oiliness that normally comes with it). You get a good balance of rich pork and the pickle mustard taste. The third noodle soup we ordered, the tomato rice noodle was just average though. Their snack desserts - sweet potato ball with taro and the brown sugar glutinous rice cake were fantastic. Crispy on the outside and most importantly not too sweet like what you get at some other restaurants. We also love their white moonlight lemon juice - sweet and refreshing line/calamansi taste. Ambiance - 5/5 clean, new and unique decor Service - 5/5 fast and friendly. Would definitely come back again with other family members and friends.

We were on the way to Redwood City from the East Bay and decided to stop by here for lunch since I saw that they had just opened not too long ago. And I am so glad we did! There was a lot of parking available so we were able to get a spot right in front.The crispy pork was so good with the seasoning it came with! Out of everything we tried, the crispy milk roll was probably my favorite. The outside was nice and crispy while the inside was creamy and soft. It was also not too sweet. I wouldn't mind eating this every week! Looking forward to coming here again and trying their other dishes and desserts!

Wife and I shared the Pickled Peppers Rice Prime Beef Noodles, crispy pork, crispy milk rolls, and brown sugar jelly. Everything was really good and each item we ate had unique flavors and textures. The broth for the noodles was really good and unique although the beef they used was probably brisket which was on the chewy side. The crispy pork was tender and juicy, with minimal breading and comes with a szechuan powder that was really good. The crispy milk rolls were lightly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The brown sugar jelly was good and refreshing at the end of the meal.Service was great.Ambiance was very much your typical no frills Chinese sit down restaurant.OberaWill come back again.

Overall this is an okay noodles place. Their noodles definitely have some heat so be careful if you aren't used to spicier foods. The spicy tofu skin appetizer I ordered failed to impress: that was rather bland and turned out to be not spicy at all. Service was pretty quick although it wasn't all that busy.

ZSX Szechwan Rice Noodle opened where Von's Chicken was. Interior redecorated, tables changed.Offerings: Rice Noodle entrees, appetizers, cold dishes, Rice Noodle hot pot varieties, desserts, snacks, BBQ, combos. Ordered at counter, pd, to go ready in 10 minutes.English & Mandarin spoken. Single associate very efficient. Bites: spicy beef (10.99)-generous serving of cold slices of thin beef shank immersed with rich application of mala chili oil. Tingling, numbing localized sensation in mouth. No burning sensation going down chest cavity.*mala chili oil made from sichuan peppercorns. Sichuan chili oil made from special chili pods-creates burning sensation going down chest cavity.-mala taste so good!Sweet & sour seaweed strips (6.99)-generous portion of fresh, crunchy, green seaweed strips that wasn't sweet & sour. Had nice spicy mala flavas. Also great! May be sourced from seabeds close to shore.4.5 stars yummy authentic. Hot pot a maybe.Saying on wall: "home made bowl of rice noodles may not be special. The memory of it is.."

I've only ever had the lemon tea from here, and it is fresh! They do the hand smashing and it's legit. Would definitely come back for it if in the area.

Ordered their Tomato Crispy Pork Rice Noodles to go. When I got home I realized they put that CRISPY pork in the soup, not gonna lie it was really nasty when that deep fried batter had been sitting in the soup for like 40 minutes, I ate just just because I didn't want to waste food. Other than that the soup base was pretty good, portion is quite generous. To the restaurant owner: consider putting your CRISPY pork on the side for to-go orders.

Everything here is so tasty and authentic, and the portions are huge! Rice noodles are my absolute favorite and I think this might be my new favorite spot in the area! I got their Pickle Pepper House Special Rice Noodles and it was spicy, savory, a little sour, and just packed with so many toppings for added texture. The bowl was also really deep and lasted me two meals. The ingredients are super fresh, the rice noodles are soft, springy and soaked with flavor, + the broth is so flavorful. You can adjust your spice level and they have a small area where you can get sauces/fixings (green onion, cilantro, chilies, chili oil, soy sauce, etc.) to add into your bowl. Also the crispy pork here is 10/10!! And the workers were really sweet & gave us free lemon tea which was the perfect drink for the meal.Everyone who worked here was super patient, helpful, and attentive. They were overall really friendly, and that in combination with the delicious food definitely makes me want to come back. The inside is very spacious and has plenty of seating as well.

I really wanted to like this place. We were actually craving Szechuan Mifen and very excited to try ZSX. However, there were too many gaps for me to give it a higher score.There are some positives! The service was nice and attentive on a busy evening. My table even had a bit of a Karen and the staff handled her really well. They gave out free Iced Tea to every table which was perfect for a spicy meal. The presentation with the old school pot and wooden spoon was a nice touch. Very photogenic!Unfortunately, the food and ambiance is where things go downhill. It's just not a comfortable place to be. The tables are small and the place is crowded. They don't have chairs, so everyone sits on stools. Kinda feels like a cafeteria. The Mifen was honestly disappointing. Way too oily and the broth wasn't very flavorful . It was just spicy without any depth. They didn't have cilantro or green onion, which is pretty much mandatory for this type of dish. They also have very traditional toppings which is fine, but they are charging $15+ for a bowl of really humble ingredients (Pork skin, intestines, liver and feet).This is usually my cup of tea, but I ended up leaving my bowl mostly uneaten.

We ordered one soup noodle and one dry noodle. Both are delicious and remind me of home. We also ordered the Sweet potato ball with taro, it not only looks so fun to eat but also yummy. Restaurant is very clean with interesting decorations. Service is great too.
