Coming from NY to SF as a tourist.
Everything thing around kills you price wise from inflation, leading you to want to find the best bang for your buck, more than ever.
This quaint little restaurant (20-30 full capacity?) serves DELICIOUS food. For average 1 bowl of noodles between 12-17 dollars, the portion is huge. You'll easily get out stuffed with portion and flavor for no more than $20 after tax/tip. If you add a drink and app, that's up to you. But I think that's just too much food. Now if you wanna share it with a date, 1 bowl, 1 app, and two drinks. After tax and tip, less than 30-35. For excellent satisfaction.
Highly recommended.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Claire Y.Fremont, CA177318Sep 2, 2024
My family is from Chongqing and just visited a couple months ago so I understand Chongqing cuisine. Unfortunately, this place isn't it which is unfortunate.
What didn't work: noodles were undercooked (al dente doesn't work for this type of cuisine), flavors were lacking and primarily oil-based vs true elixir of spices, more soup than is typical for a Chongqing xiao mian dish, small bowls they brought out was dirty and oily causing us to question the sanitation of the restaurant standards.
The pros are the remarkably large portion sizes and how quickly the food is prepared, however the food taste and quality leaves a lot to be desired. I don't understand the 4 star average at all.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 31, 20241 check-in
Chongqing is a province in China that specializes in spicy foods so if you're a fan of spice this would be a must try! The waitress here is also extremely kind and patient.
One of my favorite Chongqing dishes that's not spicy is the Guilin Rice Noodle Soup. I love the rice noodles in this dish, it is very flavorful and a little sour because of the pickled veggies which makes this dish very appetizing. This also comes with a whole rib, meat on the rib was a bit tough but the meat in the dish was very tender. And the roasted peanuts and quail eggs added very nice flavor and texture to the dish.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Aug 14, 20241 check-in
If you're looking for a quick but good meal in Chinatown then this is the spot. I stopped in for lunch on a Monday. The place is small, probably 12-15 small tables. The waitresses were fast and accurate with my order. I had the sautéed pork belly with rice and a Thai tea.
Everything was very good and I'd order it again.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 11, 2024
A co-worker took me here; she grew up in China so she knows her Chinese food.
No wait on a Tuesday around 11:45am. Perhaps 75% of the (small) space was full. It got busier, but there was never a wait throughout lunch.
Maybe I didn't order the right thing, but I was excited to see Wuhan "Spicy Noodle Soup" (热干面 or "Hot dry noodle" as the literal translation), not quite aptly translated into English, on Nanking's menu. This dish is a local favorite for people from Wuhan (me). However, it disapointed...
* Wuhan Spicy Noodle Soup ($11.95) - 2.5 stars
I'm a native Wuhanese person, and I was excited to see our famous hometown dish on a menu stateside! I had to try it. Unfortunately it disappointed compared to the real deal - the noodles were too soft (the dish is usually made with a harder, rounder egg noodle) and the sauce was too watery (it's supposed to be on the dry side and have a bit of a gritty texture from the sesame paste). It was worth a try, but I won't be getting this again.
We also tried a cold chicken (3 stars), cucumber (3.5 stars), and bean jello (3.5 stars). Note these are all dishes I don't usually like so I don't feel fully qualified to rate them.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - 726206499Jul 21, 20241 check-in
4/5 - Spicy Beef Noodle Soup - generous portion bowl. Beef on bone was tender and lots of noodles! Noodles were a bit chewy and starchy and might have needed a couple more minutes boiled. Spice level was solid. Broth was ok on its own
4.5/5 - Braised pork belly slices were flavorful and nice. Came with bok choy below
Staff was busy but still friendly. Very bustling tables for a Friday evening but we were still able to be seatedHelpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 28, 20242 check-ins
I saw Feed MeiMei come here and I KNEW I HAD TO TOO!
At 12:00 there was plenty of seating and I got to choose my own seat. By 12:30, it began filling up and soon every table was almost full but there was no line.
At first, I was worried about the service. Some places in Chinatown are nice to foreigners but have ruder service to locals/Chinese people (probably bc Chinese people don't expect nicer service - BUT NOT I! I LIKE SERVICE!). When the waitress asked me what I wanted, she asked me in mandarin and I think quickly realizing I speak better Cantonese, she changed her language. I had intended to get a cold soy milk but they ran out so I got the Thai iced tea. I also got a pitcher of water and while asking me the waitress called me "liang niou" which is pretty girl and heh, I felt really pumped up. Nothing like being called liang niou by a waitress. To be fair, I think she says it to everyone but it WORKS!
Spicy Beef Noodles: HUGE portion and it was really spicy! I should've asked for less spice which I didn't know you could do until I heard the waitress suggest that to a table behind me. She had confidence that I could handle the spice. Thank you ma'am but no, I had tears in my eyes and sniffling and my lips were numb I am but a wimp. But she called me liang niou so I had to pretend that the spice wasn't killing me on the inside. It was super delicious and one of the better beef noodles I've had in the Bay Area but my god, I was going through it. Note: I cannot handle a lot of spice.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Aug 9, 2024Updated review
Beef noodle with pickled cabbage is my favorite. There's tangy pickled cabbage plus fresh cabbage that adds a little sweetness to the spicy broth. Then there's bok choy and I think daikon. The fresh cilantro really helps add freshness to the spicy broth. I love that this dish is not just meat and noodles. The broth is the perfect amount of spicy. It always comes piping hot and the noodles nice and chewy. The rib can be fall of the bone most days, sometimes not as tender but that's a super minor flaw. The bowl is so big it's enough for two meals. Service is better than most in the area.

I thought for a long time that I can't handle spice, but turns out I can handle cooked/dry spice, like Szechuan. Perfect soup on a cold day, the noodles were chewy, broth steaming. I like that there was decent amount of veggie, not just 2 pieces of bok choy like another nearby spicy noodle spot. The pickled mustard greens added a nice tang to the earthy spicy flavors, that will be my go to now. Huge bowl, you could get away with this being 2 lunches if you don't mind mushier noodles the next day. Server was friendlier than average.

Came here on a Tuesday night with a friend for dinner. It's a cozy spot with not a ton of seating but not packed. We got the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup and the Dan Dan Noodles. Our food came out so fast (definitely less than 10 minutes, maybe even 5?), and the portions are massive! We both had to take half of the bowl home as leftovers.
Spicy Beef Noodle Soup: 5/5, definitely the right amount of spicy for it to be enjoyable but still with enough of a kick. Loved the melon, and the meat was so tender it came cleanly off the bone. Great noodle texture!
Dan Dan Noodles: 5/5, love the lighter flavor of the broth on this one and great noodle texture as well.
They take card here which is nice as well. There was only one waitress so it was a bit tough to get her attention at times, but overall a great experience with ample servings for reasonable prices. Need to come here again!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1
