The food was so good. Im impressed with how fresh the noodles is. You can taste the handmade in there. The beef is tender. The broth is clear and umami, I recommend add in the vinegar and chili oil. Also, you HAVE GOT to try the spicy wonton. Really good!!! 🤤

This restaurant can get super crowded and busy but we were able to make a reservation for 6 with ease. Our table wasn't quite ready when we arrived but that's ok. We didn't have to wait too long. Ordering is done through a QR code on your phone and everything arrived quickly and accurately. Food was delicious. My favorites were the Chili Oil Noodles and the Spicy Wontons. Everything else was still tasty though! Servers were attentive and great. Thanks for the great lunch!

Excellent restaurant, very casual and kid friendly. We love the chicken skewers and the noodles (of course). I have been to other locations in the Bay Area, and this one is by far best in terms of service and quality of food. Big thanks to the servers, the two ladies who run the front of house deserve a raise!!

Visiting from Texas for a business trip. I Had a long day at work and needed to do laundry for my trip back home. I didn't get a chance to eat all day. I stopped by Ox9 and ordered the Crispy lamb chops. The cashier who helped me was so sweet and helpful. I am so glad I got to stop here. The lamb chops were amazing!!! I hope that I may get a chance to return and stop by OX9 again

Incredible authentic Lanzhou Noodles! 🍜 I got the Lanzhou hand pulled noodles, the braised beef with Chinese pickle noodles, and the lamb skewers. Everything, including the service, was excellent. The noodles had the perfect thickness and chew, and the broth was light, savory, and clearly made without MSG. Portions are generous, a satisfying amount of meat, bokchoy, and radish provided. It was hearty and comforting, the kind of bowl that cures the soul. The lamb skewers were also great,…
