Oodle Yunnan Rice Noodle

I am so happy to write this review and say thanks to everyone at oodle for making the experience a memorable one that makes me want to return and eat this delicious food. I've already started thinking about what I haven't tried yet, but I want to add to the next order.The owner was very friendly and able to explain to me why his place was so unique compared to others I've been to. One of the things is the focus on true flavors and not having your mouth overpowered with herbs and spices so you can enjoy the noodles and the sauces without it burying the Wonderful flavors that come together here.Every table that I saw around me had a huge bowl of soup on it, and mine was no exception. Plus, I ordered some sides. I wanted to try everything. I was impressed by the texture, presentation, flavors, complexity, and being able to try something new that I haven't tried before. I believe my wife and I had the Union style rice rolls the deep fried silky, tofu, and the chicken rice noodle soup. Everything was incredibly wonderful and I can't wait to try the spicy next time. We also tried the hot ginger milk tea and I had the 80% sweet and she had the regular and we loved it.

It's good. Definitely warms up the body and soul. We went on what seemed like not so busy of a night but there were still a wait. They make sTheir noodles fresh and upon arriving, the chef told us they are making the noodles and it's taking longer because of din in and take out. It looks like they have one head chef to do it and and man, he does it all! The noodles were fantastic. The soup was spectacular. I ordered the chicken noodle soup as I typically don't eat pork and it was fantastic. It wasn't your traditional chicken noodle soup im used to. It was big on flavor like ginger, white pepper, onions and even possibly galangal, which isnt typically in east asian cooking. It was so aromatic. And the shredded chicken was also delightful to eat. Soup came out super hot and really enjoyable, great for a cold day. I also highly recommend the beef skewers as it's so tender and seasoned well even though its been fried!

Oodle Yunnan Rice Noodle was such a random, but great find! Originally, we were going to get lunch around Chinatown, but the wait time and parking just didn't work out for us. Since we were going to be in Richmond anyways, I looked up places to eat on Yelp and landed on Oodle instead. The place looks cute, and their Yunnan Rice Rolls was what caught my eyes first. I don't know if there's usually a wait around lunch or not, but we came pretty late, so we were seated immediately. Between my partner and I, we shared 1) Yunnan Spicy Beef Skewers, 2) Yunnan Style Rice Rolls, and 3) Fish Fillet with Pickled Cabbage Rice Noodles and added slices of Beef Shank on the side. The Yunnan Spicy Beef Skewers arrived first, and these were delicious. They're labeled as spicy, but it's really not that spicy. They're peppered with a lot of spices though, which makes it pretty flavorful. The skewers had the texture of jerky, but it's more moist. I enjoyed this a lot. As for the Rice Rolls, these were delicious bites as well. They're really similar to the Vietnamese Rice Rolls, but the way the filling is rolled up is different. It is a little messy since the rolls gets stuck to each other and the filling falls out easily, but spooning up the fillings that fall out and eating them as is is great too. For our main dish, the Fish Fillet with Pickled Cabbage - the soup was surprisingly really good. It's also labeled as spicy I believe, but it's not actually that spicy. It does leave a bit of the mala numbness on your tongue though, which I enjoyed. I usually can't stand mala spiciness, but the mala without much of the spiciness was great. Service wise, this place was really friendly and nice. I think it was just the owner and one other worker on the floor when we were there. One thing though - we didn't realize that they forgot our addition of the side of beef until we finished everything. When we realized, we wanted to just skip it and take it off our order, but they immediately went to check the kitchen and brought it out. I wish they asked if we still wanted it since we were basically done with our meal already. Nonetheless, it was a good side order of beef. Would definitely recommend for people looking for something warm, comforting, and fun to eat!

Friend introduced me to a new restaurant near my acupuncturist. The interior was very fresh and airy, the seats and tables resembled seating that's used in a asian movie or what smaller park picnic tables would look like but varnished. I ordered the tomato noodles with the bridge. the bridge consist of ten tiny dishes with ham, wood ear, green onions, corn, quail egg, pickled mustard greens, shrimp, tofu skin, peanuts and finally chicken, all this and the beef stew and egg noodles I added to the tomato broth. This dish was simply beyond fantastic in depth of flavour. I have a hard time describing how great this was, I'm gonna head back as soon as I can.One thing that stood out to me, this may seem foreign to others, they served hot water instead of the ice water which alot of people are used to but I do abhor ice water so this was a big plus for me.

This Chinese noodle restaurant's bridge presentation caught my eye. It was fun to assemble and pour in each of the toppings. Each set comes with goji berries, wood ear mushroom, egg, shrimp, corn, ham, chicken, shrimp, peanuts, scallions, and tofu skin on top of your protein of choice. The soup is nice and hot in the stone bowl, and overall, it's solid, comforting meal but not mind blowing or a must-try. For the #1 Crossing Bridge, the pork bone and chicken broth is light and flavorful. The soup for #6 is slightly sour from the pickled cabbage, which I liked, and the fish fillets were so smooth and tender. The Yunnan style rice rolls filled with ground pork were all right with the fish sauce. The hot earl grey milk tea was so creamy, similar to Hong Kong style milk teas, and the boba texture was pretty good! For me, Oodle Yunnan Rice Noodle was good to try, but I'm not jumping to come back.

Have mixed feelings about this place. It's a cool concept and very IG worthy with the sides on little sauce plates placed on a bridge. Presentation is definitely there, and yes it was pretty good and satisfying on a cold lSF day. Where I'm a bit on the fence is the portion size. We felt that the portions could have been a little bigger, we cleaned our bowls and we weren't full. So then we ordered popcorn chicken and the skewers, and even after that, we weren't really full, so we went for dessert after at a different spot. I mean the vibez are cool, not sure if the guy that took our order was the owner or worker but he was nice and friendly! He suggested items on the menu and checked in on us if we needed anything and asked how was the food.It's a good experience so worth a try, but not sure if I would really go back or 'crave' for it again.

It was a chilly night in SF, so we were searching for something hot to warm us up! Came across oodle yunnan rice noodle, so we drove over and found a space about a block away. The place is clean and cozy. It was a Monday night, so there were a few tables available. The owner or manager was servicing about 5 tables on his own and looked a bit overwhelmed. And the person who makes the specialty drinks was not there, so we couldn't order milk teas or smoothies. ***OUR PICKS***YUNNAN RICE ROLLS (4) ~ Steamed rice rolls filled with ground pork and wood ear fungus, with a side of lime-infused fish sauce. These rice rolls are similar to the Vietnamese Banh cuon rolls. They both have pork and wood ear fungus as part of the filling, though these are rolled up thinner. The sauce is needed for more flavor. Without it, it's one note. 3.5/5SOY MARINATED TOFU ~ It was highly recommended by our server to give these a try. They came to us crispy and hot! The sauce was tasty but made them less crispy as it cooled down. But initially, they were good. 4/5CROSSING BRIDGE RICE NOODLES ~ Original dish of Yunnan consisting of silky rice noodles, tender beef or pork belly or nobashi Ebi Shrimp and fresh vegetables served with a bowl of boiling, hot, house-made pork bone and chicken broth. I chose the sliced beef which was 4 slices of hot pot beef. The beef shriveled into one bite. I should have ordered something more substantial like pork belly. Although you get side dishes to put into the soup, it does not amount to much. I was fishing and looking for bits and pieces. The first few bites, you're getting all noodles until you run out, then it's back to fishing again. It's a nice display, but a bit pricey for what you get. 3/5TOMATO RICE NOODLES ~ Silky rice noodles, tender sliced beef or rich beef stew and fresh vegetables served with a hot bowl of house-made tomato broth. Our friend chose beef stew. She was ok with the soup and said it was flavorful. But the beef stew was salty. I tried a few pieces and ended up dipping them into my soup to cut the salt. There was a mix of textures which is typical of Asian beef stew. 3/5SICHUAN SPICY EGG NOODLES WITH BEEF STEW ~ Silky rice noodles, rich beef stew or tender slices of beef or fish fillet, and fresh vegetables served with a hot bowl of flaming Sichuan spicy house-made pork bone and chicken broth. My bf ordered this. They used numbing mala peppers in the soup. He also chose the beef stew. He said it was ok. 3/5 I guess if you're looking for soup noodles to warm yourself up, this will get you toasty. But just know if you only order a bowl of noodles, you may not be filled enough. We ordered appetizers which topped us off. With each bowl of noodles nearly $20, the amount of food given was inadequate. Unfortunately, the bridge display isn't enough for me to come back.

Loved this spot!Lots of fresh and yummy options to choose from here! My Dad loves noodles so we came to check out this new to us spot! There's street parking and if you're lucky, you'll score a parking right out front.Everything we had was delicious and we'll be back!

Very very fantastic presentation. The food is delicious. I don't think there's many yunnan rice noodle places in the city, the only other place is on 19th Ave I think. The parking here can be challenging, so plan some time around that. The seating is tight and getting to the restroom with kids is challenging since you have to walk through the narrow kitchen.

Great place for a hot meal to warm myself up from the cold and rainy weather. I enjoyed the hot and spicy soup with fish fillets. The super hot bowl cooks the soup so quickly and it stays temperature hot. I also enjoyed the meaty garlic chicken wings. On top of being tasty the wings were also temperature hot The workers were very hospitable and provided great service. Looking forward to trying more restaurants on Balboa :)
