Shanghai Noodle House

The noodles and siu mai are great The noodles and siu mai are great Speed ​​of serving and great service

This restaurant is all about the flavor--don't expect much else, because that's their focus, and they do it well. The food is delicious and comes very close to what you'd find back in China. Of course, there are some limitations due to the ingredients available here in the U.S., but overall, it's a great spot for a taste of authentic dishes.

If you're craving authentic Shanghai-style food, Shanghai Noodle House in Fremont is the place to be! I ordered three things: the dumplings, beef noodle soup, and the beef bun, and all three blew me away.The dumplings were perfection--cooked to the right texture with a savory filling that had just the right balance of flavors. You can tell they make these fresh! The beef noodle soup was the ultimate comfort food, with tender beef chunks and perfectly chewy noodles, swimming in a flavorful, rich broth. And then there's the beef bun--crispy on the outside, packed with juicy, flavorful beef on the inside. It's the kind of dish that makes you want to order another one before you're even finished with the first.Beyond the food, what really stood out was the authenticity of the place. From the flavors to the decor, it felt like a hidden gem that's capturing the heart of real Shanghai street food. If you're in the Fremont area and in the mood for quality, homemade-style noodles and dumplings, do yourself a favor and check this spot out. I'll definitely be coming back!

Husband found this place close to his dentist so we decided to give it a try. First impression coming in was it was cold as hell lol it was probably colder in there than it was outside. So, I already wasn't feeling very comfortable. The place is pretty small with a few tables, but service was pretty quick. We got the dry pork noodles, Shanghai style dumplings and another dumpling with soup. The noodles were oily and pretty bland to me. My husband needed to add extra chili oil to give it flavor. The Shanghai style dumpling was interesting, it tasted like those sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf but in a xiao long bao form. Not bad. The soup dumpling was okay too, the bottom was burnt but it made it crispy. Overall, all the food had a burnt taste to it. Could have been their style of cooking, not sure. You could also hear the cooks yawning and sighing really loudly in the kitchen lol probably won't come back here again.

A classic fixture of the Irvington area. I don't exactly know when this place opened, but it's been around forever. And for great reason! Even after inflation, Shanghai Noodle House remains one of the cheapest, tastiest ways for two people to get stupidly full in the Southeast Bay.It's in that cluster of shopping malls and stores around where the Cloverleaf used to be, so parking is easy and convenient.Given that the restaurant is called Noodle House, I have always ordered the noodles. I understand that they also serve Shanghai-style buns, but I haven't actually tried them in all my years of eating here because quite frankly, the noodles are massive. Absolutely massive. Enough to feed two people.It comes out very very quickly, because the noodles you get in every noodle dish is more or less the same. The base of the broth is also fairly similar - but the sauces/flavors you mix into the broth differ based on what you order.So in practice, you'll get a huge bowl of broth and noodles, far more than any one person can eat. In addition, you also get a huge amount of meat/vegetables/sauce to pour into the bowl - and there's so much, just that amount of meat/vegetables/sauce could be considered a full dish on its own.I am not sure if this is how you're actually supposed to eat it and I have no confidence in my parents ability to authentically eat Shanghainese food, but we've always just slid all of the sauces/meat/etc. into the bowl of noodles and then eat it like a noodle soup. I hope that's how you do it, or else I've been doing it wrong.Cash only - presumably one of many ways they keep this place super cheap!Cheap, plentiful, ultra-fast, and actually relatively healthy (there's oil, but a lot less than you often see in Chinese food). Highly recommended for anyone who wants a meal like that!

As someone originally from Shanghai, I can say their food is VERY authentic. It just felt like the food that my mom would cook, very traditional and delicious. My favorite dishes are Xiao Long Bao, Fried rice and all sorts of noodles. I always take out for my kids and they love their food too. Great place for a quick dinner/lunch.

Authentic noodles from northern China. I've gotta tell ya, I'm so glad my family members all agreed to host a dinner party at Shanghai Noodles House 上海麺馆 for a real treat. There are 2 entrances. The one in the back seems more popular. I guess the rear parking lot is bigger than the one fronting Fremont Blvd. Tables and chairs were simple but it got crowded before sunset on Sunday afternoon. Just about everything we ordered were delicious. Especially the dumplings 小笼包 got more soup than anything I had ever eaten. Dry noodles were awesome too. One dish that I don't know what is on the menu but I'm Chinese is 菜饭 which is rice with miscellaneous vegetables and meat. It's almost like my parents used to cook after leftovers from the refrigerator. Of course, the ingredients were fresh and flavorful. I would recommend everyone to try it.

Still my favorite little gem when I crave for some real OG Shanghainese noodle soupPan fried XLB is the bombSmall place, almost hole in the wall... but who cares, I go for their food and care less for their decorations

Absolutely love Shanghai noodle house!The place seems family owned, and I always get a kick out of ordering takeout in Shanghainese - one of the best signs of authenticity.Favorites are the lamb noodle soup (huge portion with generous amount of meat), ba bao fan (8 treasure sticky rice dessert with red bean filling, my favorite), and the green onion noodles. The owners are very sweet and we've had friendly service for both takeout and dine in.

Complimentary tea and appetizers is always a great start, and the noodle soups are great! Ordering is handled via checking off what you want from a paper menu, and the staff is happy to answer any questions you have. The location was pretty crowded when I visited even late at night, but they still found me a clean table quickly and with little fuss.
