四姐 Special Noodle

First time here at Special Noodle, located in the Ranch 99 mall. Steamed dumplings, pork and cabbage were delicious. Soup dumplings w/pork were awsome. Pork belly noodle soup was warming for my tummy on this rainy, cold day in late February, and the pork belly pieces were large. Warning, do not let your food get cold. And f you like hot crunchy chile oil, bring your own. I never eat Sciracha chile sauce, too much salt and chemicals. Good eating.

Pan fried soup buns and braised pork belly were delicious. 😋 Popcorn chicken, chive stuffed dumplings tasted average. But, server were very attentive.

I noticed this place was packed when I passed by a few weeks ago so I had to see what it was! What I found was an awesome restaurant serving really good food!

My friend and I ordered multiple dumplings and two entrées. The first thing we ate was called Snow Flake Pan Fried Dumplings. We had it with shrimp, egg, and chives. It was a pretty standard dumpling but it also had a crispy texture to to it to mix things up. The dumpling was filled up and moist, didn't disappoint! Next were the traditional Xiao Long Baos. These soup dumplings don't stray far from what you would imagine but that's not a bad thing! The soup was delicious and the dumpling was delicious! Now the soup pan fried buns were the stars of the show! They were chewy on top but crispy on the bottom! It was also filled with meat and soup. I viewed it like an advanced soup dumpling, it was so good! Definitely get these!

The first entrée we got was the braised pork belly with rice! The pork was very tender, didn't take much to chew through! The sauce it came with was also very velvety smooth and stuck so well to the meat, veggies and rice! The second entrée was the beef stone pot noodle soup! We got the sour rendition of the broth, I thought it paired so well with the spiciness of the dish. It had a little kick, enough to clear my sinuses! Very similar to a tomyum or sinigang flavor. I wish it had a little more meat but I can't complain too much when it has so much flavor!

It's been cold in the area lately and Special Noodle helped so much in warming me up! Good service and good food, can't ask for much more!

So good foods! Definitely must try. Recommended asian foods and dumplings!!

OMG!!!! Haven't tasted such an authentic spicy beef noodle soup for eons! Definitely A+
The employees here are very friendly, especially Mr. Chen from Sichuan.
I'll be back tomorrow, even though I live 60 miles away 😆. 👍👍👍
