Chang'an Artisan Noodle - Mountain View

I went to this restaurant with a friend on a Sunday night and there was no wait! The restaurant is a bit small but it has a cozy atmosphere. I ordered the garlic shrimp with spinach noodles and it was absolutely delicious! The first bite was amazing with the thin layer of cheese on top, and I couldn't stop eating it. The food was served in 10-20 minutes and the staff regularly refilled our water. The restaurant has a casual and homey vibe. Overall, I really enjoyed the noodles and would definitely order them again. It is located in a quiet part of town.

The food at this restaurant is fantastic, but the rudeness of the waitress is difficult to overlook.

I had a fantastic experience at this noodle restaurant. My party and I arrived promptly at 11:30AM when they opened. Although the restaurant is small, with a capacity of around 35 people, the atmosphere is welcoming and cozy. The freshly made food had a deliciously authentic taste that reflected the care and pride put into each dish. It was clear that both taste and presentation were priorities for the restaurant.

We arrived a bit after 8:00pm on a weekend and were seated within 5-10 minutes. Service was very good compared to what was mentioned in previous reviews. We had the mapo tofu and spicy cumin lamb with fresh noodles. Both dishes had good flavor but unfortunately parts of the lamb dish weren't warmed thoroughly. I expect this oversight is something that will be improved on with more experience. Overall I'd recommend the restaurant and plan to return.

I missed out on going to Chang'an with my friends the first time, and I'm so glad that I was able to make it out with them on their second trip. We went at opening time Saturday 11:30am. It's a dedicated noodle place with gross-looking menus because they don't replace the paper, but the decor, food, and the service all make up for it. Our servers were attentive and offered explanations when we were chatting about the noodles. Food came out fast and almost the same time. Appetizer was good. Nice amount of spiciness for my spicy beef noodle dish and my boy's spicy cumin lamb. A bit on the salty side, but that's pretty standard with eating out these days. Lots of parking available, and not too expensive. Will definitely come back.
