Noodle 21

This place is amazing, we randomly pick a place to have noodles for dinner, it’s worth it, food are amazing and service is awesome, will definitely come back, I recommend it!!

First, we ordered the Nam Khao, ginger scallion kidney, papaya salad, and chicken wings for appetizers. The papaya salad was a little on the sweet side for me. The Nam Khao was pretty good, ESPECIALLY when I ate it with the pickled chili peppers. The kidneys were good too. I ate that with a side of steamed rice. My son ate the chicken wings (about 6 wings per order), so I didn't get to try it. He liked them and wanted to order another set. Then we moved on to soup. I ordered the Chow Jou with thin egg noodles. I didn't know there was an option to have the broth on the side, but I wanted it all together. The broth was bland. I needed to add salt, soy sauce, and pepper. I'm not one to usually add anything to my soup broth. The stuff inside the soup was good: chicken breast, ground pork, pork kidney, fish cake, fish ball, and shrimp. The slices of fish cake were small and it only came with one fish ball cut in half. Overall, I thought the Chow Jou was a 3.5/5. My husband ordered the pineapple fried rice. I'm allergic to pineapple, so I couldn't try it. The presentation of it was nice though.

I have been to Noodle 21 twice since I don't live in San Pablo and only get to go there when I work out there. I've tried many pho spots and this one is by far my FAVORITE. The flavor, the taste, the portion, the quality, the prices, the SERVICE is excellent. The first time I came here, they were so welcoming and made extra sure I felt at home! The cook is amazing and he actually comes out and gives you your food, it's honorable. Noodle 21 deserves more clients because not only is the food amazing, but the service is excellent and they always make me feel right at home?? every time I work in Richmond, I go/will be going because there's nothing like Noodle 21!

Ordered the #21 combination. Hearty and served with minimal wait time. It’s a local fave. I cannot confirm nor deny, but the story is that this restaurant is the offspring from another restaurant in Oakland. Definitely one of the better noodles places in the Richmond/San Pablo area.

The place is not too clean and the food not to appetizing… we order wonton soup in the image it looks that is was the wonton and the noodles but the soup they serve to us has a lot of different meats that we didn’t wanted and it was flavorless the fresh spring rolls were not fresh at all. The only good tasty dish was the pad Thai
