The noodle hype is real! We were passing by and decided to stop for a weekend lunch. The restaurant was pretty busy, but there were a few open tables. There is a QR code posted on the wall nearby the table, where you can scan and enter your order on your phone. This was actually very easy to do. The website also mentioned some of their most popular dishes, making it even easier to order. The food came out very quickly and at the correct temperatures. Staff were polite, however, they did not seem to speak much English. They had no trouble understanding basic requests and were friendly. We started out with two appetizers. Sweet Sour Cucumbers ($8.99) were very crisp and fresh. Plenty of garlic and a pinch of sweetness. Pretty refreshing. I personally prefer sour only and no sweetness, but it was just a touch. Fungus Salad ($7.99) was my fave. This one had delicious, crisp, large wood ear fungus. Marinade was absolutely the perfect blend of sour and savory. Soooo good! Portion sizes were generous and we had plenty to bring home. The Braised Beef Noodle Soup ($16.30) with medium sized noodles was excellent. Highly recommend this dish, especially if you like things like scrumptious slow cooked meat, such as short ribs. The rich broth reminded me of the classic Chinese clay pot, with five spice flavors. It is not spicy. It had a generous amount of meat along with the chewy noodles. So delicious! We got a Tomato Egg Dry Noodle ($15.20) for the kiddos, but we liked it too. Wish the tomatoes were riper, but it is too early in the season. Portions size was great on this one too. The restaurant itself is small, but clean, and decorated in a simple, modern style. Flat panel TV was showing a Chinese cooking program. We would love to return and try out some other dishes!

This location is a bit tucked away but it's right behind McDonald's. I ate an early dinner so it was very quiet and nobody else was here except the staff. Nice decor and the staff were prompt. Fungus salad 5/5 - scrumptious. Served cold with bits of onions, green bell peppers, and cilantro with a light vinaigrette. If you love mushrooms, woodear mushrooms have that distinct crunch and chew. Perfect I'm between slurps of broth and noodles. Lamb Noodle soup 5/5 - amazing. Simple, clean flavorful broth. It wasn't overpowering. Plenty of tender fall off the bone lamb prices mixed in. Chili oil noodle with Pork 3/5 - it's in the name but I didn't realize how oily it was. There's literally a pool of oil at the bottom for you to mix. This was considered a dry noodle and I mistakenly thought I ordered it as a soup. The flavor did not jump out and it wasn't as fragrant even with the amount of oil. Their pork is pre-marinated and does have a little bit of szechuan if you're not a fan. I could barely taste any. I would come back to try other soup noodle dishes. Their serving bowls are big enough to feed two people.

Authentic hidden gem. Highly recommend this location for anyone who wants to try something new. This is going to be our new spot on the drive home from our mini road trips. Highly recommend the soups here. They are delicious and you can tell that there's a lot of passion in the food that is made here. If you're looking for authentic food that's like street food come here. Grab a beer and some appetizers because honestly it hit the spot and we will definitely be back!

The place is relatively small and tucked away by a gas station. I really wanted to try this place after having on my list for a long time and I am glad that I finally got to try it! I got the spicy braised beef noodle soup and it was hitting on all my taste buds! The flavor was excellent and the noodles that I had were extremely al dente and chewy. I also got the pork burger/sandwich and the flavors on that was excellent as well! The pork was super tender and the spices and seasonings were covering every spot possible of the meat. The beef in the braised beef noodles were tender as well and they were so soft that you barely needed to chew it! The spice could've been a tiny bit stronger but overall, it was a solid bowl of noodle soup. Next time I want to try their dry noodles and soup dumplings and buns!

We've always noticed CA Noodle while stopping for gas or McDonald's, but we finally decided to give it a try. We're so glad we did! It's located in a small strip mall and has about ten tables, six of which can comfortably seat at least four people. The space is simple, with a no-frills setup, but it gets the job done. We ordered the pork xiao long bao, pork dan dan noodles, and braised beef noodle soup. The xiao long bao were tasty, though the dumpling wrapper was a bit on the thick side and didn't have as much soup inside as we expected. There was a lot of filling and was very flavorful. For noodles, we tried both the wide dan dan noodles and the regular braised beef noodles--both were delicious, but the dan dan noodles stole the show for me with their bold, spicy flavor. The braised beef was also incredibly tender and paired well with the broth. Portions were generous, and we left full and happy. The meal totaled $55 before tip, which felt reasonable for the amount and quality of food. Service was straightforward. We ordered via QR code, received complimentary tea, and the food arrived all at once. It wasn't the fastest service, but for a casual meal, it worked fine. Payment was made at the counter at the end. Overall, CA Noodle is a solid, affordable spot for a comforting noodle meal, and we'll definitely be back! Rating: 4/5 Must-try: Dan dan noodles Price: Affordable Service: A bit slow, but simple Would we return? Yes!

The place is in a strip behind a gas station. It's not a very big place but it gets pretty busy. We came for Thursday dinner and all tables were filled. The person who works there doesn't speak any English it seems like. He tries but couldn't really answer our questions . Spicy beef noodle is really really good. It's not too spicy. The best part other than the melt in your mouth beef is the noodle. I picked regular noodle and it was nice and bouncy. Not overcooked. The leftover bowl has a "shelf" to separate the noodles from the broth. Which is great if you order to go. However, leftovers aren't too great because the noodle does get pretty mushy. So eat it there for the best texture. Oh the price on the online ordering system is different than the physical menu. I can't figure out which price they charge me at because he didn't give me itemized receipt. Only the credit card printout.

I was feeling in a soupy kind of mood. I am so glad I gave this place a shot. Friendly staff and super quick service! My spicy pork noodles were delicious and hit the spot I didn't even know I was missing! 10/10 The pork bao was also good. 8/10. Plenty of parking! GPS was tripping out and giving me a location across the street. This spot is right in front of the McD's drive-thru! I will be returning to try more food items!

Located in a plaza with plenty of parking. Friendly staff and quick service! Highly recommend the braised beef noodle soup with middle noodle at CA Noodle. The other types are also good but the middle type noodle is very chewy texture and goes very well with the broth. Broth is very flavorful and the beef is very tender. Appetizer: Beef Tripe with Garlic Sauce is good and has a bit of a numbing spice. They offer 3 types of noodles: - regular: a small round noodle - *middle: my favorite! it's a wide noodle - wide: an even wider noodle compared to the middle, which is also good

Favorite. Noodle. EVER. I've been here multiple times since, but I still remember biting into these noodles for the first time. I was mind blown by the perfect chew of the noodles. You can also choose the size of noodles and I think I prefer the regular! Perfect slurping thickness and just thick enough to have a delicious bite. The cucumbers are also super refreshing and well flavored. I have since tried to find reason to stop in Pleasanton just so I can eat here

Came in the afternoon, prompt service with the tea which was nice and flavorful. Barcode scan for the menu & ordering. I ordered the braised beef noodle. Noodles were fresh, nice bite too it. Broth was good, but greasier than what I'm used to. Beef was tender, could have used some more meat. Ordered the cucumber, very refreshing & garlicky. A little sweet. Also ordered side of mustard greens, added another level of flavor to my noods. More pickled than I'm used to but still good. Cute & simple set up inside. What I don't understand is the price. All that after tax cost me $30. Maybe because it's Dublin, I don't know. Had a mom & pop type feel to it which I support
