I have been ordering food via DoorDash for at least 15+ times and recently, at least 5 times in the past two weeks. I also went here with some other friends and their kids and had a fun time! Everything is done well and great side dishes. For Lunar New Year, there are games and coloring books for the kids.The tomato soup with handmade noodles are so amazing! It is a new recommendation by my friend and is my new go-to.My friend is friends with the owner, Rommie, it turns out. A nice and friendly guy!They have two other locations (never been yet), but I like this location. Cheers!

First time here. We got two combos, $54 per combo, one with handmade noodles, the other flat noodles, with the beef soup, shrimp fried rice, fried pork chop, pickled cucumbers, seasonal greens and two drinks for $54. We also ordered the spicy wontons. Per their bio, "Since 1948, Duan Chun Zhen had been selling homemade Sichuan sauces and braised dishes for a living as a Chinese immigrant in Taiwan. After she passed away, the family opened a noodle store named in memory of their grandma Duan and the aromatic Sichuan dishes she used to make for the family." I think the Flavors here are different from other Sichuan and Taiwanese restaurants. I always like trying new flavors and dishes. The family enjoyed everything and would like to come back. Noodles had a good chew. Broth had flavor. The fried pork chop had sauce so it wasn't crispy. Greens were fresh. Spicy wontons weren't overly spicy and it had toppings. Servers were nice and efficient. They brought out food quickly at 7:45 pm. There were 3 tables and they did not rush us. Small communication issues with ordering, but we all figured it out. Tables were clean. I thought the food was good, same with the service. My favorite was the pickled cucumbers. Some were great and crunchy and some were going limp. My family weren't fond of the tendons but I do. Shrimp on the fried rice was okay. After having shrimp from the gulf of Texas and Georgia, I don't really like the taste of shrimp from California. It was fun to try this place and it's good, don't get me wrong but unless someone really wanted to eat here, I would want to try another new place.

Pretty busy on a Sunday evening, but my party of 3 was seated right away. Restaurant is spacious and clean. Service was good and food came out pretty quickly.We got the pork chop fried rice with egg, braised beef brisket noodle soup, braised beef shank noodle soup, and tomato beef shank noodle soup. The noodle soups were a mix of Taiwanese and Sichuan flavors. The broth had a small kick to it, but it wasn't overly spicy and it was very manageable (I have low spice tolerance). We were big fans of the pork chop fried rice! Good soft crisp on the pork chop, and fried rice was aromatic and light. For my braised beef brisket noodle soup, I chose the hand-made noodles. In hindsight, I should've gotten the flat noodles. The hand-made noodles were super wide and flat and had the consistency of dumpling skin. I usually like wide noodles but I think these were a bit too thick and the focus ended up being on chewing/not splashing the noodles in the broth and not on the broth/meat. I feel like these noodles absorb less broth too. The beef brisket was similar to hot pot meat. All 3 noodle soups were pretty hearty and I think they weren't too drastically different from one another. Would come back to get the flat noodles with the next noodle soup I get!

Came by for lunch the other day and it was a tasty experience. Called ahead for take-out and my order was ready within 10-15 minutes. Parking is plentiful in the private lot.The restaurant takes credit cards and the restaurant has been remodeled since the Vietnamese noodle shop closed down a few years ago. Dining is indoors exclusively.Started off with the beef and tendon flat noodle soup and it was tasty. The broth was very fragrant and the beef and tendons were very tender. This was packaged to perfection with the plastic container filtering the noodles and the soup.The fried pork chop over fried rice was also tasty. The fried pork chop was fragrant and fried to perfection.The spicy wontons were delicious. The wontons were fragrant in the hot sauce.The popcorn chicken didn't look as good as the oil may need to be changed. The chicken was fresh and the flavor was on point.$25/head after tax for takeout with plenty of leftovers.

Been wanting to try this beef noodle spot! Ordered the tomato beef noodle soup with thick noodles, soup dumplings, pork chop fried rice, beef dumplings in soup, and my parents got a regular beef noodle (I think, can't recall but tasted a bit herbal).Enjoyed the thickness and chewiness of my noodles. Wished the soup flavor was stronger and deeper. Soup dumplings were very full of meat but barely any soup! The pork chop rice on the other hand was VERY delicious. Only item I would get again.Def worth a try!

I found a comfort food spot in Cupertino, which specializes in braised beef noodle soup.We ordered a variety of dishes from the menu, and my top favorites were the pork chop fried rice, braised beef noodle soup, and fried popcorn chicken. You can customize the noodle type (thin, wide, or flat) and the broth's spice level. We also opted for the combo meal, which included the noodles, one side dish, and one drink. Their price is reasonable too. I was sad that they ran out of the soft serve because I had heard great things about it. I guess that's one more reason for me to go back.pork chop fried ricebraised beef noodle soupspicy Chongqing noodlebraised beef brisket noodle souptomato beef noodle soupwontons with chili oil saucefried popcorn chickenxiao long bao

Was told this was a very good beef noodle soup restaurant. But honestly, it's good but still the best for me was in Taiwan . Noodles were excellent, beef was tender, bak choy was good, unfortunately the soup base didn't rise to the level I expected. Service was okay. If the waitress knew you, she had no problem chatting it up with you while the other customer (12 inches away) got to stare at her back and buttocks while eating. Lastly, after finishing our beef noodle soup our bowls sat there for a good half hour with no waiter or waitress asking if we would want anything else or the bill . Had to get up and ask for the bill before we left. Ambiance is loud and echoing. Hard to hear the person sitting right across from you at times. Duan Chun Zhen Noodles is located where the old Cupertino TOGO's sandwich shop use to be. Sadly, the ambiance of TOGO's was far better. Parking if good but only because the adjacent Mandarin Gourmet Restaurant closed. Honestly, I would have given this 3 Stars but the Beef Noodle Soup was good so they got 4 Stars from me.

I've been here twice now and it hasn't disappointed! Pictured: D1 and D8I'm always on the hunt for good beef noodle soup on par with Taiwan's and this is one of the best places I've found. I love the aromatic stock (you can really taste the spices) and the texture of the handpulled noodles are great - very chewy. Also approved by the Taiwanese parents who don't like things overly heavy or salty. I like the twist on the beef noodle soup with the Sichuan spices (since this was founded by a Chinese immigrant in Taiwan). I personally liked the Tomato Beef Noodle Soup more than the normal Beef Noodle since the sweetness from the tomatoes really adds to the flavor!One thing that I think could be better is the softness of the tendon - it could be cooked a little longer so it is easier to chew but still delicious.

I'm always on a quest to search for delicious beef noodle soup, so when I heard this place is quite well-known in Taiwan, we gave it a try on a Friday dinner! We ordered the Braised Peanuts (D3), Braised Beef Noodle Soup (D5), and Tomato Beef Noodle Soup (D10). We weren't in the mood to devour potentially succulent and delicious cow tissue and muscle that day, so we got the no meat options.Braised Peanuts (3/5): Strong braised flavor that penetrates these nuts all the way through, but such a tiny serving for 5$!Braised Beef Noodle Soup (4/5): This definitely is not your traditional soy sauce braised beef noodle soup flavor. Instead, the steaming hot broth elicits notes of savory Japanese curry kissed with a splash of floral Sichuan pepper. It's also quite greasy, embodying the meaty and fatty bovine essence that's infused within the broth. I got the thin noodles which have a nice chewy texture. Tomato Beef Noodle Soup (4/5): This one's broth exudes that beefy essence but with the added blessing of tomato and shallot acidity. It's a brightening contrast to the savory beefiness. I got the handmade noodles which are the wide and flat kind, and they had a QQ bounciness enough to launch me out of my seat! On my first few bites of the Tomato Beef Noodle Soup, there was a strong and off-putting plastic taste...not sure where it was from but it went away after desperately enduring more consumption. The interior is clean, modernized, and has very bright lights.Overall, this place is good enough that I'd come back to try the beef noodle soups with meat.

My partner and I were quickly seated on a Saturday afternoon, and I thought the inside was super modern and had nice lighting! The Pork Chop Fried Rice was a decent portion to share between the two of us, and we had a bit of leftover after our meal. The pork chop was juicy and had an addiction crunch to it! I do wish they were a bit thicker pieces though! The Classic Beef Noodle soup was also good and flavorful. The beef was tender and the noodles had a great smooth texture. We were surprised that they only gave us 3-4 strands of noodles though LOL.
