Ox 9 Lanzhou Hand Pulled Noodles, 36456 Fremont Blvd, Fremont (Centerville), CA 94536

What’s better on a cold evening, than a bowl of hot, steaming noodle soup – with hand-pulled noodles. Ox 9, which was founded in China in 2012, serves Lanzhou style noodles at multiple locations in the Bay Area. The Fremont one opened in Alder Plaza last year. In 2018, it was Michelin recommended according to what they had on the wall.

When you walk in you’ll see a huge (fake) bowl of Lanzhou noodle soup and the noodles move! Cute.

Noodle soups start at $12.99 and there are a variety of options – beef, lamb, pork, vegetable. There are six kinds of hand-pulled noodles to choose from (thin to thick). You can customize each bowl with extra noodles, extra sauces, soybean paste, extra pickles, etc.

Dry noodles, knife-cut noodles, cold appetizers, buns, Chinese burgers, desserts, and Chinese beer and sodas are available. Complimentary hot tea was provided. We had a choice between tea or water.

We ran into some family members here and they ordered for me, in Chinese, so I’m not sure if I got the widest noodle or the second to the widest noodle. Portions were generous. I don’t think any of us finished the noodle soup.

Stewed Lamb Noodle w/ wide, flat noodles ($14.99): The clear broth with thinly sliced radish slices, bok choy, and fresh herbs, was light with no spices – a little bland but adding hot sauce helped. The lamb was in small cubes. It was tender but totally plain. I wouldn’t get it again. The noodles were wide and chewy. It was good but I wanted a more flavorful broth and more flavorful lamb.

The dining room looked clean and nice – not fancy but not a hole in the wall either. They put some effort into the décor to make it look modern and inviting. The bowls even say Ox 9.

Thick hand pulled noodles from Ox 9 Lanzhou hand pulled noodles in Milpitas. You can specify the thickness of your noodles for each dish. Food came out pretty fast. I just don't like how leftovers of hand pulled noodles never sit well overnight but I can't finish a whole bowl 🫤 (at OX 9 Lanzhou Hand Pulled Noodles) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmHoqCrvmJs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
