The street noodle dish really hit the spot. Firm noodle and a spicy sauce. Quiet and relaxing.

I had a very good experience here. They are just open. They answered all my question about the food and gave me a very nice recommendation. I bought 2 different kinds of noodles. They didn't come in a soup, but they have a sauce, which make it very flavorful.

Authentic Chinese food alert!! We ordered the Cucumber Salad, Shredded Potato, Chili Oil Chicken (spicy and numbing), Dumplings (both boiled and pan fried) and Noodle with Scallion Oil Sauce and everything was freshly made and delicious. I felt like I was back at home with my family in China as I was eating. The noodle dish was particularly standout - hot, super simple but packed with flavor. My kids devoured everything in sight, which can feel like a rarity these days with their usual picky eating. The staff was SO friendly and welcoming and personable too. I will 1000% be coming back here to try more items on the menu! They said they are planning to add MaLaTang which would be so amazing to have locally. Anyways, come eat this amazing food because this place deserves some hype!

What a great noodle spot - every thing we ordered was delicious! We got the dan dan, scallion oil and braised beef noodle dishes. We also got the gyoza which are handmade in house. My grandma usually doesn't eat much - and she ate a hefty portion of the scallion noodles. There was an asian kid on an ipad in the back - so you know the place is legit. I would 100% come back to this unassuming spot in a random strip mall in Alameda.

I’ve got to try Xiang Xiang Noodle yesterday and I have to say I was very happily surprised. We arrived for dinner, and the place was pretty empty with a somewhat lifeless vibe, so I got a bit concerned. The friendly family behind the counter happily took our order and brought out everything we needed, and I have to say WOW! A lot of times Sichuan cuisine can be overly oily for me, but this one wasn’t—it seemed to strike a better balance between broth and oil. The flavors were rich and full of mala. I had the (N19. Sichuan-Style Spicy Soft Wontons), which were definitely my favorite, rich in unami flavor with the right amount of noodles and broth to meat. I also had the (N12. Chongqing Street Noodles) which were really good but mostly noodle (which were bouncy and just right) but didn't have as much depth as the Wontons. It still made for good leftovers. I am looking forward to trying more from their menu—this place was really good, and I’ll definitely be coming back a few times. PS: try the herbal tea, it paired really well and helped keep the spice down when needed.

My difficult-to-please 10 year old got the braised beef noodles and LOVED it. I wasn’t very hungry so I got the cucumber salad, medium spicy and it was delicious. The owner was very sweet, checked on us many times and made sure we liked the food. We will return.

Found this gem on a whim as we were nearby and hungry. Walked into the restaurant and was seated promptly. Owner greeted me and showed me her menu. It was a bit odd at first because I saw many Hawaiian BBQ entrees next to traditional Sichuan dishes. Owner explained that she took over a Hawaiian BBQ place and is slowly transitioning. We ordered the following: Noodles with scallion oil sauce Steamed chicken with chili sauce Salt & pepper eggplant Cucumber salad Gyoza I have to say, everything we ate was unassuming delicious. My two picky kids ate everything without complaint. The noodles were a particular standout being perfectly firm and chewy. The salt and pepper eggplant was a perfect balance to the sauces of the other dishes. The only real gripe I have is I wished the steamed chicken with chili sauce was boneless, but the flavors were incredibly with the numbing spice. Definitely want to go back and try their braised pork belly noodles and Zhajiang noodles. The entire restaurant was run as a family affair. 9/10 Will recommend.

Absolutely authentic Sichuan food. The dan dan noodle and the salt and pepper eggplant (light fried) were epic. Def one of the best dan dan noodle in the bay area. The salt and pepper eggplant is crispy outside and MELTING eggplant inside with a gentle touch of salt and pepper coating outside. Great owners and staff, hardworking and nice folks from Chengdu, Sichuan. They retain the Hawaiian bbq from the old ownership. But don't question the Sichuan food!! Absolutely authentic.

Wow, just incredible! The flavors are exactly what I needed for lunch. Got the Sichuan-Style Spicy Wontons (mild) and I almost cried at how good this was. Also got the steak and that was good as well, a good sized appetizer.

We ordered their noodle braised pork, Chong Qing street noodle and spicy wonton. They were all very delicious. Their servers are very friendly and helpful. We'll be back again definitely. Highly recommended!

This place is amazing. Very much lives up to the fragrant name, the flavors are deep and spicy. We loved the chongqing style noodles, Dan Dan noodles, spicy wontons, smashed garlic cucumbers and shredded potato salad

Had lunch here the other day and it was amazing, portions were large and everything we ordered was great! It’s definitely a humble interior but they’re serving super delicious food. We’ll be back for sure.

If you like spice, come here. The numbing mala sensation and flavors in the broth are addictively tasty. I had the special of the day: red cooked pork noodle soup. Deep flavors from maybe hours of braising, the pork belly was soft and pleasingly fatty. Big serving (plenty for a second meal) and very reasonably priced. Another customer nearby highly recommended the chicken dumplings and fried eggplant dishes for my next visit.

I was running errands nearby yesterday and needed to grab some lunch. I randomly decided to pop into Xiang Xiang and I'm *so glad* I did! This place is exactly what I look for: a small, unpretentious hole-in-the-wall offering fantastic service and incredible food. I ordered the Dan Dan Noodle bowl and asked for it "medium spicy," and it was perfect: thick, firm noodles with a sauce that fell somewhere between "oh wow that's spicy" and "oh wow that's tangy!" I also had a spam musubi which was very tasty too. The food is great but the best part was the warm and welcoming staff, who made me feel like a friend visiting their home rather than a customer in a business. 10/10 experience, eagerly looking forward to returning with friends to dive deeper into the menu!

Great food! We never thought we'd finish all the ones we ordered. Some foods are new to us and they became our new favorite. Noodles were cooked well. All foods were seasoned well. We'll definitely come back! Good luck to business owners!❤️

Gosh, the different noodle broths are SO delicious and soul comforting. A total hug from the inside that I've been craving outside of Asia. Even my sister is addicted after having my leftovers. I'm so so happy to have this place easily accessible in Alameda! The owners are also so nice, and it's so cute that their sons are always there playing, or working on their workbooks (setting a good example for my feral children). I walked by on a different day and saw them hand wrapping dumplings, so i know those are fresh and home made. Big plus. Between this place, Mintleaf (BEST Bun Rieu) and Tomo teahouse, this Marina Village mall is quickly becoming a culinary destination. If you love good noodle broths, COME HERE!!

Absolutely wonderful. Tried this place after seeing the new signage mentioning "mala tang" out front. I ordered the Chongqing street noodles and was so impressed, I went back every week and ordered something different until I tried just about everything on the menu. My favorites are the braised beef noodles and the dan dan noodles. The potstickers are their specialty and have a different texture than expected but delicious. Their salt and pepper eggplant is also addictive. I am so happy this place is here and the prices are reasonable.

Delicious! I ordered the special of the day, mapu tofu noodles and "not too spicy" and it was perfectly full of flavor with a little spicy numbness tingle. The cold broccoli was super tasty. I look forward to trying more dishes.

Tasty and authentic flavors. We had the Chongqing noodle soup, Dandan noodles, dry fried green beans, and hot and sour soup with dumplings. Everything is delicious and we can't wait to go back to try more things.

My family and I absolutely love this place. The owners always make us feel at home, and the food is amazing. Clearly, they still take personal pride in what they cook, and honestly want to know what you think of it. If you seek authentic Sichuan cuisine, you can find it here. We personally love the complex, floral, spicy, tongue-tingling sensation of Sichuan peppercorns. If you prefer your food mild, the owners are always very accommodating. And you get so much variety here, from their flavorful dan dan noodles, to cool, sesame jelly and crunchy cucumber salad. Ooo, getting hungry here. Give Xiang Xiang Noodle a try. You won't be disappointed and might find yourself returning again and again.

I got the braised pork noodle. The broth was delicious, the flavors stuck to the noodles perfectly, the braised pork was tender and juicy. Everything else that I saw being served looked beautiful. Just a really great restaurant all around.

Came by on a Sunday afternoon. We got the Sichuan cold noodles (asked for least spicy as possible) and braised beef noodles. The dishes were just ok. Wouldn't mind coming again to try their other dishes like Dan Dan noodles or dumplings. Parking is no issue as this restaurant is in a shopping center.
