"To round out the northern Chinese tour, stop by Huangcheng Noodles for a taste of Shanxi province and another take on shaved noodles. Owner Jimmy Huang, a former acrobat, used to hand shave the noodles, but now uses a machine to deliver consistently thick noodles and chewy consistency. After their original space closed from a devastating 2020 fire in Chinatown, Oakland organization Good Good Eatz helped him land a new space in Old Oakland. Our founder Jocelyn Tsaih and team member Maya Kulkarni then helped to redesign their logo and painted a mural bringing a bit of Jimmy’s bright personality to the space. Their take on classic tomato egg noodles hits all the bright, slightly smoky flavors you get from a well-fired wok." - daphne wu
"I found excellent Chongqing-style noodles here — in Old Oakland they serve spicy knife-cut noodles with house-made chile oil that pack a real punch." - Momo Chang
"Chef-owner Jian Huang, a third-generation Sichuan chef, turns bright, spicy flavors into a standout Chongqing street noodle featuring a prickle of Sichuan peppercorn broth melded with savory ground pork, sesame, roasted peanuts, and baby bok choy; the hand-pulled noodles are silky and pleasingly yielding, and the wok-fired green beans add a tantalizing aroma." - Maria C. Hunt
