575 Miishien（Rice noodle soup） 840 El Paseo de Saratoga, San Jose, CA 95130

"The restaurant is right next to the AMC movie theater and features very high-quality, delicious fresh rice noodle soup dishes from the southwest region of Yunnan in China bordering Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar. We tried their signature crossing-the-bridge noodle soup with wagyu beef and black truffles, where a gigantic bowl of steamy hot broth was served with thinly sliced wagyu beef, black truffle slices, pea shoots, corn, Chinese chives, morel mushrooms, wood ears, corn and other little dishes. Then the waiter threw everything into the broth and the foods were cooked in the hot soup right in front of your eyes, which was fun to watch. They said their broth had been simmered with whole chickens and spices for over 24 hours. If you like the noodles spicy, they have the pickles and chili oil made in house, which added additional layers of complexity to the dish. The end result was simply scrumptious and memorable. We also tried the spicy ground pork noodle soup and the Golden Triangle noodles, the latter of which was vegetarian and had a unique flavor, with poppy seeds in the sauce. The cucumber salad tasted really fresh and the pig ear salad was also very authentic (not too spicy but full of flavor). The owner was around. He was extremely friendly, and tried to greet and talk to every table. A one-of-a-kind place where the delicious foods were prepared with a great deal of care and creativity. We will be coming back soon."

"I rolled in at 4pm and surprisingly 80% of the tables were full. The menu is complicated and they have a lot of combos. I heard the table next to me asking themselves what is a flower cake? Unfortunately as other reviewers have said they don't understand English so they didn't answer the question I asked. Also, there are condiments but you have to ask for them. However, you don't know what they have unless you get up and take a look. The noodles were good, a rare chewiness for rice noodles. I thought the broth for the wagyu cross bridge had little flavor and the beef itself didn't taste that quality. Besides the novelty of dumping the ingredients in, I don't think it is worth the $26. The spicy beef noodle soup was way better. It came with a good amount of beef (for a beef noodle soup) and the tendon was the perfect amount of crunchy which is really rare."

"Menu is very limited. I asked the waitress for some soy sauce. She did not know what it was. I had to ask for the condimnet jars. Otherwise she was very helpful. My soup was fine but could have used some more veggies. I would go back and try it again though."

"Try rice noodle soup restaurant. The place was pretty busy when we arrived. We get a seat right away. You order using the qr code at the table. There are plenty of items on the menu. They also have appetizers. We order spicy meat noodle soup and the wagyu noodle soup. It took a while for our order to be ready. One person looks like like the chef explains how to prepare the noodle soup, like which item to be added to the soup first. The wagyu one comes with a fancy box. Portion is generous. The soup is delicious and served in a hot bowl. It is very light. The spicy meat noodle soup is ok. I like the wagyu one better. Price one the wagyu one quite pricey. It is like you pay for personal hotpot in some hotpot restaurant. One thing that could be improved is the service and language barrier. Most servers speak little english, so it is not that easy to communicate. For the service, it is just that everyone looks like so busy and kind of disoriented. Overall it was a good lunch and definitely we will visit again."

"Its location was a bit surprising (right by the AMC) but what a great full of flavor noodles soup! Super fresh with deep flavors. We even got a personal explanation from the Chef on how to assemble the soup. We will be back for sure."
