Noodles Fresh

Wow, my first time visiting the Oakland/Berkley area and Noodles Fresh surprised me. Waiters were amazing and accommodating and I enjoyed eating my meal while looking at the well set kitchen, while listening to great ambient music. Their Mongolian Beef dish was awesome. Succulent and just the right amount of saltiness. Recommend ordering a side of rice with it. Also, highly recommend that you order their fermented cabbage. Basically Chinese Kimchi. Spicy and salty. Great combo with beer!

Loved it! I had Jiangxi stir fry, and the food was very good. I very much like the interior design, combining Asian elements with industrial styling. Service was excellent and the food came very fast.

The Best taiwanese beef soup! Everything on the menu is delicious & fresh made! The rose tea is my favorite. Great service atmosphere family owned!

Noodles Fresh is hands down my favorite Chinese restaurant in Berkeley. It's never very crowded when I go, which is a pity because they deserve more business. They have a good selection of vegetarian/vegan options. Try the vegetarian goose-- I'd never had anything like it before, but it is extremely savory and well balanced. The lunch special is extremely high value for the money: a large bowl of noodle soup for only 10.95 (12.40 after tax). I've tried the Shanghai double happiness and the chili fish (veg option subs tofu). They're both delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant is also nice. I love looking at all the teapots and teacups on the walls

Gourmet Healthy Chinese food from Wenyan & Tom Petersen and their master chefs - now in 3 locations. I go back again and again when I'm in town. Tom plays cool jazz in El Cerrito Noodles Fresh. Last night at their Berkeley Downton location I had one of my favorite vegetable dishes "Half Half" with Garlic + Brown Rice and good hot tea. Wenyan also offers connoisseur High Mountain Chinese Tea served traditionally. Highly reccomend! JH *NOTE: tasty Tofu from Wok can be added to any dish for only $2 #gourmet #noodles #healthyfood #chineserestaurant #teahouse

Love the beef tendon dish! Very tasty with wonderful textures. Great lunch deal and great service. All of this for basically just over $12!

Very authentic Chinese noodles! The rice noodles are the BEST! Great vibe and nice service. Thank you!

Overall great Chinese food in Berkeley for an okay price. Really like the Taiwan beef noodle soup and jiangxi noodle salad. Everything came out as expected. Good service, clean plating, plenty of seating. Scallion pancakes were really disappointing though; very little actual scallions in them.

Got the Taiwan beef noodle soup, it was amazing. I was also shocked at the time of service. I think I waited 2-3 minutes after ordering before they brought my soup. Service is very quick and the food is so flavorful

I came here during my lunch break one afternoon. The salt and pepper (appetizer) chicken wings are good as well as the vegetarian dumplings (the latter especially with dipping sauce). My beef and noodle dish had very thin strips of meat, and the flavoring of the nuts in the dish is absolutely tasty. The dishes didn’t take a long time to come out, and I loved pouring their black tea with the ceramic teapot. The restaurant has a nice design, with teapots hanging on the wall for a (occasional) fountain, and a tv to watch muted sports (women's tennis when I was there). You can tell there are a lot of regular/loyal customers, so they’re seeming satisfied, and I love that their are lots of options on the menu for any persons’ preferences.

My mother and I ate here today for lunch. The service was nice and the food was good. The curry chicken noodle soup is less than $15 dollars and we split it, and I still have the leftovers for about two meals. Definitely worth the price! I enjoyed the potstickers too. I didn't find the chili oil spicy but I enjoyed the taste (this may be because I have too high of a spice tolerance?). A man sitting next to us had the chili fish noodle soup and that looked very nice too. The waitress was nice and diligently refilled our waters, the entire restaurant was clean and is a quaint space. Would definitely recommend.

Really tasty noodles and Hainan chicken !! Super fast and attentive service, classy and relaxing environment, and most importantly great flavor. The prices are just right for the area. Really happy with everything we got. The matching uniforms, abundance of beautiful flowers, and decor are all so cute and show attention to detail. Can't wait to come back to try more dishes 🥰

Ordered the pork belly which was lovely, tender and nicely presented. My colleague also enjoyed their food. Good size portions and often enough for a takeaway.

WOW. Top notch Taiwanese Beef Noodles. The only that really tastes authentic I’ve seen so far in California. The service is great, warm. She’s like a nice caring mother.

Had dinner with friends at Noodle Fresh tonight in a private room, and it was such a nice experience. The dishes were honestly impressive. Each one felt carefully thought out, with flavors I haven’t come across anywhere else. What I liked most was how every dish looked like a small piece of art, but nothing felt overdone. You could tell the owner really puts effort into designing the menu, and the flavors were all different yet balanced. It’s the kind of place where you remember each dish because it’s not just another plate of noodles or dumplings. If you’re looking for something that feels special but still comforting, I’d recommend trying Noodle Fresh.

The Fresh Noodle was amazing per my two grandsons who are 5 & 8 years old. I must agree with them. Their portions was the perfect amount for us three together. The service was impeccable. Our server was very patient and very knowledgeable about how the food pairing as well. Thank God we stumbled up on this place. This is a new go to for us when in Berkeley. Oh, yeah the parking was free too.

I posted but on the wrong location. I ordered pick up and the food was delicious. So many items that reminded me of my ma's cooking that I hadn't seen on other menus. For example the hainan chicken, so tender and perfectly seasoned! And the black bean sauce noodles (although it was missing the scrambled egg strips, don't forget to order that extra and I would also add some more noodles as they don't scrimp on the sauce). The shrimp was plentiful and tender! Dandan noodles divine. The fresh vegetables were combo of baby bok choy and broccoli and perfectly stir fried. The only negative was a flaw in their texting system so I thought that my order was ready 30 min earlier than what I put for pick up. Also instead of the Hong Kong pork chop we got a steak dish which was incredibly delicious and tender but will need to go back to order that. Overall very pleased and it is my new go to Chinese restaurant. I am just sad I didn't find it earlier. And more affordable with larger servings than other places. Please support this restaurant as I want it to stay in Berkeley for a long long time!

Lovely place - very accessible and easy to find right on Shattuck. Place is nice and spacious and very clean. Service is friendly and very quick. We shared onion pancake which was nice and crispy, chicken homemade rice noodle soup and beef tips thick noodle soup. Everything was delicious but the beef dish stood out. Our 4 years old also enjoyed the soups and especially the crispy onion pancake. Will definitely be back when around the area :)

The server I met today was incredibly unprofessional. She behaved impatiently and spoke to me in a loud voice - Could you please practice to speak to people in a calm and polite manner? The food was not satisfactory, and I will not visit again

Updating this review: about 30 min later I feel awful. Don’t want to TMI but really messed up my stomach Got the hunan sweet and sour. Really subpar, and only 3 pieces of tofu in the whole soup :/ Seasonal vegetables were super boring
