Good food, friendly people. Has highchair, and booster. Can order just about anything non spicy, so good for the little ones.

Great service and excellent food! Our waitress gave us a free appetizer on the house <3

Absolutely AMAZING! I got the Mixed Veggies hand-pulled noodles to go and it was the best lunch I've had in a while! The noodles are super thick and delicious, full of flavor and not too spicy. Order was ready for pick-up within 5 minutes of ordering! Highly recommend, will definitely come again!

Came here three times and it never disappointed. It’s great for people who like thick chewy fat noods. Pulled fresh in front of your eyes, every bowl. Chef is also so nice, he gave us complimentary liang pi appetizer on two visits

A little treasure! So filling and generous. The hand pulled noodles are so big and chewy. The service was very friendly and kind. I loved the side salads as well ( cucumber, “tiger”, and cold noodle)

This place is SOO GOOD. So delicious. Their noodles are delicious. Chewy, thick, homemade. Their chili oil is spicy, but not too spicy (I like spice). Their cucumber salad is one of the best I’ve had. This is my fave restaurant in Alameda. Pics of pork jia jiang and curry lamb hand pulled noodles.

You have to get their handmade/pulled noodles when you visit here! Each bowl of noodles has variety of quality vegetables. Can get quite spicy! It doesn't have much indoor seating but it's very homey inside ^.^!

The Hand Pulled Noodles and Soup Dumpling bowl are amazing. Packed with lots of flavor.

Incredible hand made noodles with a concise menu, so you know it’s good. If you can’t handle spicy, get less spicy

I ordered the spinach dumpling soup pork with hand pulled noodles. Food was absolutely delicious but very spicy. I didn't realize that I should have requested less spice. But it was definitely freshly prepared food. The owner was pleasant and helpful in answering my questions. All of the staff are very friendly. I love just about everything on the menu. This restaurant is closed on Mondays.

It is so authentic and so good!!! I am so happy to be able to find real Xi’an food in the Bay Area. The Liangpi is amazing and the hand pulled noodles are legit. I wish they put more local Xi’an dishes on the menu! I don't need to have Ramen here. I just want Xi’an food!

I have a thing for fresh noodles, and these have to be my new favorite Chinese noodles in the East Bay. We came on a weeknight and it was hella easy to get seating. The owners were so nice and attentive, giving me recommendations for vegetarians and a little sample of some foods too! I ordered the Malatang and Spinach dumplings, both of which were very tasty.

Great small restaurant that a coworker recommended me. I really enjoyed everything they had to offer. The hospitality of the staff is great. They are very attentive and giving. I assume she was the owner, we were given a free cucumber salad in their signature chili oil sauce that they make and sell separately. The hand pulled noodles were great! I can’t complain about anything on the dish. The pork dumplings were great too. It had a sweetness to it that I can’t pinpoint but it was delicious.

Came here on a Friday right when they opened. I saw a video of this place on instagram and wanted to try it out. Me and my husband have never had this type of Chinese food and we’re Impressed. The cucumber salad was delicious, the pork dumplings in sauce were amazing as well as the noodles. The lady attending us went above and beyond to provide us great customer service. 💯% recommend this place!!!

Wow! I had intended to try this restaurant for a while and it exceeded my expectations! We could see the chef making the hand pulled noodles and boy, were they delicious. We ordered the pork and the spicy beef noodles, the lamb and pork dumplings in soup. YUM! The cold noodles were amazing too. The staff here were inviting, sweet and even gave us a complimentary dish of cold noodles, pictured in the front left of the photo.

I was craving cumin lamb biang biang noodles & Wild Ginger satisfied it beyond expectations. The noodles are spicy & flavorful — exceptional quality & quantity. And the noodle texture is perfect — chewy & the perfect amount of tenderness. I also got an order of the lamb dumplings in sauce, which was a standout. So delicious! Wrapped it up with spicy cucumbers — perfect accompaniment to the meal. Received a free dish of the cold noodles to try. They are on a different flavor spectrum compared with the hot noodles — a delicate and layered dish that I will definitely order next time. And there will certainly be a next time! The woman who waited on all the tables & juggled umpteenth takeout orders is so kind & lovely, even at the busiest times. It is a cozy, welcoming place with phenomenal food & service.

really wonderful awesome service, water was never empty (and lemon infused)!! and the noodle texture is so banger :) but i feel like the spiciness isn’t quite there. got extra spice n it was still kinda mild - so if your spice tolerance is low then this is a great place for you. if you are a spice fiend like me, you can probably still enjoy it but something will be missing lol. the portions are also super big and reasonable for the price!

We love the Liangpi cold noodles! Super delicious! We packed 4 to go!

This place was great, we were so impressed by the food here. You need to get the biang biang hand pulled noodles, any meat. We ordered the spicy tingly beef and it was so tender and delicious that we ordered a second one later in the meal! And don’t sleep on the sour spicy pork dumplings, they are some of the best dumplings I’ve had in a while (we got 2 orders of these too!). The burgers were great too, tried the pork and the lamb, and the lamb is definitely superior. Absolutely order one of those. All in all I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the food here.

Definitely recommend trying all the foods!! There is indoor and outdoor seating. The noodles are good delicious in any dish and the dumplings are a must have. We had the spicy and tingly beef in sauce and the beef biang biang... I'm going to be a regular. Staff was friend and service was fast. Try it!

We tried the spicy hot-oil seared biang biang noodles, Liang Pi, and spicy cucumber salad, and they were all incredible. The spicy oil, sauce, and noodle texture were perfectly executed!

Super tasty Chinese restaurant in a bustling area in Alameda. Indoor and outdoor dining are both available, and there is street parking in the area. The restaurant had lots of delicious spicy options, and we opted for the beef noodle soup and cumin lamb noodles. Both were amazing! Would highly recommend for any noodle or spicy food lovers.

Excellent food and excellent service, what more could you ask for? If you like fresh noodles, dumplings and spice, you gotta give this place a try.

Great food! Malatang and bian bian handmade noodles. The noodles are very good. excellent texture that you can only get from handmade noodles. Vibe is very relaxed, perfect for a catch up with a friend. This is authentic though spiciness is down a notch or two from other Chinese restaurants that Ive been to - so it is good for folks with less tolerance for spicy (though Im sure they can raise the spice too if needed). Very solid preparation and quality ingredients. I would definitely go back to this place next time in Alameda!

My favorite restaurant of all time. The food is amazing. The hand pulled noodles so thick and the sauce is out of this world. I always get a jar of there chili oil. The staff are so kind and friendly. I love the vibes of place.

Small shop, excellent service!! Staff was wonderful and checked in regularly. Our waters were never empty! Food tasted great. If you don't have great spice tolerance... the medium spice feels very hot (broke a sweat!).

BEST noodles in the Bay!!! My partner and I take the bus from SF for 40 minutes to come here all the time because it’s worth it. The taste is so flavorful, authentic, and hits all the right notes — there is no noodle place or Xi’an restaurant that comes close to this in SF. Also, the service is fantastic. Larry and all the staff at the restaurant are so warm and kind to us. It feels like a slice of home… we even joke about moving next door so we can go there all the time. Don’t miss it. GO NOW!!!

H3. Spicy hot oil seared is so delicious. Hard to find a great vegetarian noodle dish but this is it. The staff are so nice too.

Went in with my wife a little before 6pm on a Friday night. Parking is free after six, but good luck. The food was great and the service was fast. I’m ok with the noodles but I’ve done better.

I woke up wanting noodles for breakfast 🍜 So after dropping my parents off for eggs and toast I made my way to Wild Ginger - breakfast of champions here I come!! I ordered the spicy beef hand pulled noodles and a spicy cucumber salad. The cucumber salad is tasty and delicious. LOVE the chili oil sauce it comes in 😋 I’ll take a bottle of that to go please!! The spicy beef noodles weren’t exactly what I was expecting but the broth was on point. Flavorful and perfect for what I was in the mood for. The cut of beef however was a bit of an odd choice for this dish. I was expecting chunks of juicy melt in your mouth beef. This beef was thinly sliced (ramen style) with an odd taste to it. (Not the best cut of meat if I’m being honest) I ate it all though 😂 The noodles are cooked to perfection. Thick, chewy and satisfying. Next time I’m coming in for the Malatang.

A good addition to Park Street. Been coming here since before the pandemic and the menu is still pretty consistent. The best things to order are the Pork Dumplings in Soup, Zha Jiang and Beef Hand-Pulled Noodles. Parking on Park Street is pretty easy on this end.

Very good and spicy noodle/ dumpling soup but the menu is very limited. If you dont eat spicy you would only be able to order one dish off the menu. The owner is very friendly. Bathroom was large and clean.

Good value: portions are great and flavors hit most of the dishes spot on. It gets busy so on weekends expect a little bit of a wait to get in of your going around dinner time

the hand pulled noodles are 10/10, the soup tho is just ok. the soup dumplings are also big and good.

The hand pulled noodles were delicious, thick and gooey. Loved the dumplings as well.

Food used to be good and price are Fair. nowaday is almost $20 a bowl of stretch noodle with ground pork I think the price is a little too high

Well, to start with this place is slightly overrated on yelp. 4 1/2 stars for the quality of service and the design / comfort of the place - no way! Yes, Tammy didn’t do a good job. Sorry. My current rating goes to the quality of food only, which was on the relatively decent level. On the other hand, we had to serve ourselves the plasticwear (so called silverware) and the koits, as when the food was served we had nothing to eat it with. High chairs were stocked in the bathroom, were I couldn’t find the changing table, but a whole lot of restaurant attire storage, which seemed pretty cluttered. BTW, wait to the bathroom goes through the kitchen, where the food is cooked. The place overall does need some renovation. Food overall was well done. My native significant other picked some authentic soup and so called “Chinese burgers”, which were delicious. Would gladly give this place another try to increase the star rating with hope for improvements.

I had been very excited to try this place as I’ve had excellent renditions of all the dishes served here in NYC. However everything here was nearly double the price and zero flavor. The sauce with the lamb cumin noodles was just water and oil, no spice even though I had requested extra spicy. The interior of this place is also very run down So disappointing don’t come out of your way for it.

December 13, 2018. So, my girl brought me to this place because she has an acquired taste. If you are not use to Authentic Chinese food I don't recommend it. Nonetheless the food was great quodos to the chef the hand made noodles were Amazing. I did not read the menu and my girl order everything the food was excellent and the noodles where fresh. It appears to be a mom and pop Asian restaurant. However, my girl wanted to play basketball early in the day with me and we finished balling around 5-6 pm. We walked in the restaurant and I was wearing my Nike Jordan's (fresh), Nike sweat pants and blue hoodie. She had a regular attire. A couple walked in at the same time we did but were first and the host/ cashier greeted them with a smile and sat them at a table. When it was our turn for a table she did not look as enthusiastic to attend us and barely acknowledge us. My girl brushed it off and smiled but I sure as hell did not. I believe the chef noticed attitude his wife projected in our deriction and tried to mitigate the situation by smiling and saying hi but it was a little too late. It appears as the old hag did not want to attend us. Nonetheless, while now at a table with my girl I noticed that she did not smile when attending us but did so when waiting other tables. I am not going to support a restaurant that is bias towards people. I am positive this old hag though we were going to dine and dash or something she gave off the vibe. Nonetheless, food was exquisite such a shame that I will never go back again.

The overall experience is 1.25 stars. The environment looks nasty/dirty. Bros, please spends extra more time to clean your shop. The food is not specifically good, at least I dont' feel that way. Also not recommended for big group (5+). It is a super tiny shop. Until then I cannot recommend this to others.
