Season's Noodles & Dumplings Garden

Food (5/5)As titled, you will have delicious delicious noodles and dumplings here. We tried the Beef Noodle Soup with Medium Round Noodles (4/5, noodles were great, soup was good not a must-get), Shredded Pork noodles (4-5/5, not my personal favorite but everyone else enjoyed it a LOT), and Three Deluxe Dumplings (5/5, my personal favorite, MUST GET!). They really shine in terms of the noodles and dumplings and the add-ons (like the beef, soup, or shredded pork) are just fine.On my second visit here, I was also able to try the Pork Cabbage Buns (4/5, delicious filling however too much bun for my liking), Crushed Cucumber Salad (3/5, only get if you want some side vegetables and don't want the pickled cabbage that's given for free), Shrimp Chow Mein (4/5, it's yummy nothing special). Price (4/5)A little bit on the pricey side for a Chinese restaurant, but I recognize that it is in the downtown Mountain View area. For this area in particular, it will be avg $15-20pp nowadays.Wait Time (4/5)YMMV, however overall things move fast and I wouldn't anticipate having to wait over an hour unless you have a large party and come on a Fri/Sat evening.Service (5/5)Good service, servers are quick and attentive. They're good at taking empty plates and clearing tables preemptively.Ambiance (5/5)Not fancy but very clean, well-lit and makes good use of the space. Parking/Access (5/5)On a side street off of Castro, there's plenty of parking available in nearby lots, garages, or street parking.Would definitely be back for noodles or dumplings for a quicker meal. My Chinese mom also approved of this restaurant :)

Me and my family have been here several times already, as the food is REALLY good! As a Chinese person, it's pretty hard finding authentic Chinese food here that's relatively cheap, but this restaurant has been the perfect place. We first came last summer and ordered their dumplings, which has lots of pork inside wrapped in freshly made dumpling skin. I also ordered their chicken and pepper noodles, and I like how you can choose the thickness of your noodles (I picked the 2nd thickness). For the price, the portion was also very generous and I was stuffed after eating just the noodles!Would highly recommend for anyone in this area

Season's Noodles knows what they're good at, and it's the hand-pulled noodles that really make them one of the best spots in Mountain View.We ordered takeout to avoid waiting too long for a table and it was a great decision. On our list included a few vegan friendly items - their Mapo Tofu Noodles, Bean Curd in Chili Oil, and Fungus in Chili... so lots of spicy goodness if you couldn't tell.Everything was ready in 15 minutes and packaged nicely with the mapo tofu sauce being separated from the noodles to avoid them from sticking with each other on the way home.The noods were fantastic. It was only one of the few noodle options available but I'd argue it being the best of the bunch. The mapo tofu had excellent flavor and spice. The two cold side dishes were great too but I think just having one next time would've been enough.Now I know where I'll return to the next time I'm in the area and want some great noodles.

Food:- Mapo Tofu Hand Pulled Noodles - Excellent. Authentic hand pulled noodles were soft, fresh, tasty, and cut to right size. The mapo tofu was one of the best I've had. Tofu pieces were plenty and soft. The mala heat was balanced enough to get the numbing feeling, but not too strong and can still taste the other flavors. - Chef's Special Beef Noodle Soup - Great. Similar to a Vietnamese pho with flavorful broth soup and beef slices. This is a simple dish, though may not find it filling enough.- Pork and Cabbage Dumplings - Good. Dumplings contain a ball of filling inside the soft wrapper, but not very flavorful on their own. The dipping sauce seems like it might be a gyoza sauce, which gave some flavor and saltiness that was needed. I suggest adding some chili oil as well for some spiciness.Service: Great. Walked in and promptly seated at an open table. They took my order and got our food within about 10min. Ambiance/Vibe: Great. Decent sized casual Asian restaurant with a mix of tables and booths.Cost/Value: Great. $15-17 for the main dishes. Portions are large enough for one to two people depending on appetite, more than enough to share family style. Visit again? Yes. Food was great quality, fast service, reasonable prices. Highly recommend eating there instead of takeout as the noodles/dumplings taste best when fresh and hot.

I wanted to like this place more. Service was great, which is surprising for an authentic Asian place. My friend knocked over the sauce and a waiter immediately came over to clean it and offer him napkins. Prices are reasonable -- noodle dishes for lunch are about $16. We also got two free appetizer veggie dishes. The potato one was AMAZING . I ordered the beef noodle soup and was super disappointed. The broth was light and flavorful, the hand-pulled noodles had a nice texture, and there was a reasonable amount of meat. However, the beef was tough and dry and chewy and almost inedible. We also ordered the chive and pork pie and it was like 85% dough with the tiniest bit of chive or pork filling. It was cooked well but I wouldn't get it again. The non-soup braised beef noodles seem incredible, though. My friend was super happy. I've seen enough to want to try this place again. Anyone can have a bad beef day.

We really enjoyed the food at Seasons Noodles and Dumplings. The ampules noodles were made fresh and were nice and chewy. We really lov d the xiao Lin bao and the chicken and corn dumplings. Service was friendly and prompt. I enjoy so much I took out 4 more orders of noodles and an order of dumplings for my family. I wanted to take the noodles home raw to cook just before eating but they said since it's made fresh with no preservatives and stabilizers they'd have to cook them. My family said it was still good and not soggy

Located on a side street in downtown Mountain View, this has consistently been our tried and true go-to place for many delicious outings. I've been there about 9-10 times since discovering this place, and we stopped eating out as much given 3 tiny tots in tow, and given Mountain View is a good half an hour drive away, I'd say it's a good indication of how much we love this place. The funny thing is, they aren't widely known, but every friend we have brought here has similarly stated it's their new favorite spot and have subsequently become regulars themselves. Fortunately, the word-of-mouth seems to be working because they seem to become more popular every time we're there.I consistently order their wood ear mushroom dish (if you can bypass the funny mushroom look if you didn't grow up with it) as well as the shredded pork with garlic sauce noodles (yu xiang rou si). We've always tried at least 2-3 additional new dishes each time (group ordering and sharing for the win), and nothing ever disappoints. Also, if you don't get the thick hand-pulled saucy noodles, you are a fool, just saying.And thanks to Yelp reminders to write reviews, I've now incepted myself to crave those noodles and might make a mini pit-stop for one for lunch in a few minutes. My wallet and waistline do not thank you, but it's worth every sacrifice to the Season's gods.

I had the #2 Spicy beef noodle soup for lunch. I found it to be decent overall. The noodles are handmade and has the perfect al dente to them. You can also customize the type of noodles you want. Soup was delicious, light, flavorful and not spicy at all. NOT OILY, which is great and no "yeet hay". Luckily there's a jar of chili sauce you can add to up the spice. The beef slices were thin and delicious. For its worth, it's a good cheap simple eat for $15.99 in downtown mountain view. I kinda wished there were more toppings. It is also not your typically Taiwanese beef noodle soup: no mustard greens, bok choy or larger pieces of beef. I suppose it appeases for the demographic that aren't used to those flavors. Perhaps throw in that option?Service is good as I'm seeing there's other reviews that say otherwise. Chinese/Taiwanese establishments typically require you to respectfully holla if you need something. They're juggling making noodles, steaming dumplings, door dash and the other patrons so give them a break lol.

Love the location of this dumpling eatery, in downtown Mountain View where lots of fun walking to be had. Met up with a few old college friends for an evening of reminiscing our days in Taiwan, looking forward to an upcoming reunion, and eating delicious comfort Chinese dumplings and accompaniments!We enjoyed:- Dumplings of course (the three treasure filled shrimp, pork, and chives). Tasty and plentiful: 5/5 - xiaolingbao soup dumplings (traditional pork filling): 3/5Thicker skinned than I prefer, filling lacked soup, and sauce was a bit heavier than I prefer. Also no ginger for sauce. - stir fried lamb and hand pulled noodles: 5/5excellent balance of flavor. Did add the dumpling sauce which gave a nice umami and depth to dish.- stir fried vegetable: 4/5What can I say. They were fresh and they were vegetables (mixture of bok choy, carrots and broccoli)!- pickled cucumbers: 4/5Light in flavor yet delicious - house pickled cabbage: 4/5Complimentary of the restaurantSeason's does not have a dedicated parking area. There are multiple (free) parking lots and street parking close by. Can't believe that on a Wednesday night it was so difficult to find parking! Thanks Kari and Daryl for the fun evening and delicious food made even better with great company!

Came for lunch on a Saturday during peak lunch time. We waited for around 10 minutes for a table. Service was great and the inside of the restaurant is large and decently clean. We got the garlic pork dry noodle and enjoyed the texture of our noodles but the sauce was a bit too sweet for our preference. The pig ear appetizer was large in size, and the dumplings were juicy. Sesame mung bean appetizer was a bit of a miss.
