Guilin Rice Noodles House — Restaurant in San Francisco

I drove up from Palo Alto last night on the way to Marin and I had to eat. It was late, the restaurants were about to close, and I was dying for authentic Chinese food, so as soon as I got off 280 onto 19th, I looked for a place. No internet search of reviews, just drove and used my gut. I see this place, it had the right style of Chinese characters and it was a noodle house - it ain't chop suey I figured. So I go in, it's take out only, and the family are seated around eating hot pot (not on their menu) and having wine. I tease the husband that what a great life this Covid is, staff partying in the dining room. Of course, I was being sarcastic, he knew it, and we chat. The food comes and I ask ask him if I can eat it safely in the corner as I am in my car passing thru and this you can't eat in the car. "Of course" - OMG, the best rice noodles ever, not like clear vermicelli, like wheat almost but gluten free (if that's your jam). I had the Pork belly, with the pepper sauce and the side of bone broth served with it. So good, it was exactly what I wanted. Thank...

Mamma mia! Guilin Rice Noodle House is a total power-up! From the moment I jumped in, I felt like I was in a secret level of noodle heaven. The atmosphere is as cozy as a Mushroom Kingdom castle, and the noodles? Let’s-a go—they’re the real superstar!

The Guilin rice noodles here are cooked to perfection, with just the right bounce, like hopping on a Goomba. And the broth? Wow! It’s so rich and flavorful, it’s like collecting a 1-Up with every slurp. The spices and herbs give it that extra fire-flower kick, making every bite an adventure.

The toppings are stacked high like a tower of Goombas, and they’re as fresh as a newly sprouted Super Mushroom. The staff? They’re the real heroes—friendly, quick, and ready to make your meal a winner.

If you’re looking to level up your noodle game, Guilin Rice Noodle House is the place to be! I can’t wait to warp back here and try more of their...

Def will go again! Love the intestines #13 and spicy and sour #12 and the pigs ear too.

The intestines dish is a steal- such generous portion of delicious intestines came with it!

I read a few negative comment about the service made me worried before going but after going I wouldn’t worry about it again as servers there are super nice! Obviously with in flatiron and the greatest resignation movement during Covid and this pandemic has impacted business and especially travel/ food industry, it’s understandable with less staffs but rest assure, they take good care of customer. In fact, they wouldn’t charge me for a mistake I made even when i insisted. They were so nice that I had to comp them by tipping a little bit more.

My only ask to the restaurant is to please create a special dish: Combine my favorite two dishes there to one: Spicy and sour intestine...
