Dao Artisan Noodle — Restaurant in San Leandro

We saw a line out the door over the weekend so we waited for a weekday at 4pm instead and it was quite light. Service was great but you also have the option to scan the QR code to order if you prefer. We ordered some appetizers, a noodle dish, a few dumplings. The noodles were the first thing to come which is fine because we ate everything at the same time anyways. Dumplings took a little longer. The black truffle dumplings were really tasty(definitely highlight). Only complaint was that the garlic green beans were overcooked and kind of soggy and the scallion pancakes were extremely oily. I would come back...

Come across this noodle shop yesterday, definitely surprised me with their food quality and wonderful service. Everything is made fresh, it’s cool to have an open kitchen area where I’m able to see them making dumplings or pulling noodles live. Loving the broth and texture of the noodle, soup dumplings are also a must-order. So much juice packed in each dumpling just explode in my mouth after a bite. The owner Jerry was also really nice, saw him going around table chatting with customers. Super genuine and makes good recommendations. Love the welcoming family style experience here as well, would...

Ordered 2 bowls of noodles, lychee balls, and some others. Spicy sour soup was only Ok, very little beef and noodles was meh. Pork noodle soup was more meat, good broth and noodles was not that good. My wife gave me her noodles and she loves noodles.lol. Lychee balls was good and others was only ok. Price was high for what we got. Service was friendly and I noticed the people making the dumplings and noodles were not wearing gloves. Idk if that’s the norm. Glad I tried it once but if I want noodle soup, I’m gonna go to Saigon House...
