Spices Noodle House

Ate the food so fast I forgot to take a photo lol my friend put me on to Spices and it was delicious across the board. We ordered in shrimp dumplings, walnut shrimp, sesame balls, egg drop soup, and the green beans. All flavored well and delicious, but the standout for me was the walnut shrimp!I'm excited to come back in person at the restaurant to try more things on the menu.

I was craving CHINISE tonight and looked up dim sum on doordash. I'm from Central Valley but come to the bay to work. I'm still searching for my go to CHINISE Resteraunt. I ordered a whole smattery of food for dinner and meal preps for the work week.Fried rice comboMongolian beefSesame chickenShu Mai x3Har kowLotus leaf riceThai teaEgg custard bunNow, I don't know WHY this is a Bay Area thing. Every other bay area Resteraunt I've been to is the same. The dim sum is TINY. Like half the size of central and south California. The lotus leaf rice is 1/3rd smaller than normal. Yet the prices are higher than anywhere south of the bay. Insane. The shu mai, custard bun and Har kow tasted just okay. Like almost like frozen, and cooked from frozen tasting. Mongolian beef, the beef is a little too... wet? Like maybe that's their style. But I like the beef more pan fried. Everything else tasted good enough though. Nothing like stood out to me. The major PRO though is I got hella food. I ate it for dinner. Meal prepped for the next 2 days of 12 hour shifts. And half enough for 3 more meals probably lol. See my pics.Overall 3/5. My hunt for the best, and agreeable prices CHINISE food in the bay continues!

Food is amazing. Service is quick. The quality of the food feels fresh and yummy. I love the balance of flavor and spicy

369 12th St Oakland, CA 94607(Between Franklin and Webster)It's Monday night, around 9pm in downtown Oakland. I just got off work, and I decided to stop by at Spices Noodle House to grab some chow mein and won ton soup. Spicy BBQ Pork Chow Mein, $12.95 Won Ton Soup, $9.95The dining room was pretty much bare. A chinese lady was busy prepping takeout and delivery orders. After giving me time to read the menu, she popped out to take my order. The $$ total came out to be just over $25. She tells me 10-mins, and goes back to the kitchen. Service gets (4/5).The Won Ton Soup was six plump dumplings, lots of veggies, in a light broth. Price: $9.95.....Grade (4/5)I liked the Spicy BBQ Pork Chow Mein. It wasn't super spicy. It had some chopped up dried red chili peppers. Thick ropey noodles with small pieces of bbq pork. Average sized portion for takeout. Price $12.95, Grade (4/5)These are the "in-person" menu prices. Apparently this place is also known as "China Taste." I only saw street parking available. 12th St is a one-way street. Overall, good food for the price.

I ordered takeout from here and it was honestly the worse Chinese food I've had in Oakland. The tomato egg noodle is like diluted ketchup. The eggplant dish tastes like chemicals. The General Tso's tofu has a watery, flavorless sauce. I ate the broccoli out of it and am throwing the rest away. There are so many good options in Oakland for Chinese, but this is not one of them.

We haven't been here in ages since we moved away. But we came back on a weekend afternoon and enjoyed the food here like we used to. The crab rangoons, shiu mai, and the chow mein noodles were very fresh. The only thing lacking was the sesame chicken. It was not fresh or crispy. It was also odd because the staff doesn't speak English, we pointed to the menu where he highlighted our order in Chinese. But even after doing that he got our order wrong. Food is solid regardless though sometimes I think they split staff with the restaurant across the street so that could be weird.

Food: The Tomato egg noodle was good, tasted just like a classic tomato egg, the salt pepper tofu was also really good, i love how they use silken when other places mostly use firm tofu, the hot and sour soup was very standard, not too sour or spicy :) and surprisingly the black sesame peanut mochi was so bomb it was the most delicious mochi i've ever had, idk if they make it fresh because it was warm! Service & Ambiance: I can't really speak for this bc I ordered delivery! Overall based on this experience I would definitely order food from here again, be in delivery or in person

Huge portions. Delicious curry soup. Lots of indoor seating. Street parking only.I came here with a girlfriend for a quick bite. Ordered:Chicken chow mein Chicken curry soup The chicken curry soup is no joke. It was so good so delicious. It was nice and hot. Amazing. The restaurant didn't have a lot of fancy ambience, but it was absolutely perfect for a quick Chinese food bite .The chow mein was different from when I was used to. I probably wouldn't order it again, but it was so good. Great service. Recommend if you're in the area.

I decided to check this place out on the whim through Uber Eats so that I could use my benefit and it really did not disappoint. All I need to say is that that salt and pepper fish is just so bomb! It is the most delicious thing I have tasted and just the flavor and everything is just perfect. I could eat that all day. We also got the combo noodles and the Kung pow chicken bao. I wasn't too impressed with the bow, but that's not to say that it wasn't good. It had great flavor, but just wasn't my jam. Shrimp fried rice was... Shrimp fried rice. Not to say that was bad, it was good, a little greasy, but still delicious.I like this place, I felt that the food came very quickly, the food for takeout was really good quality, and it wasn't cold or bad. I would definitely check it out again. Great place for quick food that has tons of flavor and isn't going to break the bank.

Decent beef and broccoli, quick service, and simple interior. Portions were a little small for the price, but I truly can't complain.
