The Best Restaurants Around Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (SLO), According to Eater Editors | Eater LA

"Hand-pulled noodle specialist Shake Shake is a standout for its Chinese cooking, with soup, wontons, chile oil-coated noodles, and more. On a first visit, try the chile oil flat noodle, with wide handmade noodles, and a choice of protein like tomato and eggs, ground pork, or braised beef. Cold days call for a bowl of braised beef noodle soup or the house special beef bone noodle soup, and make sure to round out meals here with chile oil wontons. For something less spicy, try any of the tomato egg dishes, which combine braised tomatoes with scrambled eggs." - Rebecca Roland

We had such a great experience at Shake Shake Fresh Noodle! Ordering was super easy with the QR code system, and our food came out quickly. We tried the beef rib bone soup with flat noodles and the spicy beef rib flat noodles (dry) — both were delicious. The noodles were super fresh since we could see them being made right in front of us, and they had the perfect chewy texture. Even our 2-year-old loved it and ate a ton of noodles, which says a lot! The service was fast and friendly, everything was very clean, and the atmosphere inside was modern and inviting. Overall, amazing food, great service, and a fun dining experience. Can’t wait to come back!

This noodle house is slightly pricier than a Chinese restaurant, but the meat quality is excellent and flavorful. We tried a few dishes on our first visit with friends. Our dining experience was very good. The beef rib noodle soup was a highlight. It was fresh and had high-quality meat with a bone. It was super tasty, you must try it. It is something you cannot get at other places, especially in SLO. One suggestion is that the menu items should include a description of what ingredients are included in the dish. For example, the House beef roll contained too much cilantro. It was not to my husband’s liking. Other than that everything we tried was delicious.

TLDR; Shake Shake Fresh Noodle is the best hand pulled Chinese noodle restaurant in not just San Luis Obispo, but San Luis Obispo county. You’d have to drive a few hours to find anything close. Service is just as good as the food (simply excellent), and their prices are fair.

5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had such a great experience at Shake Shake Fresh Noodle in SLO! I ordered the chili oil flat noodles with the beef bone, and wow — the flavor was incredible. I’m usually sensitive to spicy foods, but this dish had the perfect balance of heat and richness. It was so flavorful without being overwhelming, and the noodles had an amazing texture. The service was just as impressive. My food came out so fast, and every staff member I interacted with was kind, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. You can really feel the care they put into both the food and the customer experience. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in San Luis Obispo — especially if you’re craving something comforting, tasty, and made with love. I’ll definitely be back!

We've been wanting to try this place since it opened, and we finally had the chance today. It has 1000% lived up to the hype!! We started with the cucumber salad, which was a little expensive at 8 or 9 bucks, but it was a shareable plate, and the flavor was lovely. For entrees, we got the lamb stew with round noodles and the braised pork belly with flat noodles. They were both nothing short of amazing. I'm a big texture person, so I'm not always that into pork belly; this was some of the best pork belly I've ever had. The meaty pieces were tender, and the fatty pieces just melted in your mouth. Not a single chewy piece! The lamb was delicious, and I think I preferred it between the two, but they were both so good that I honestly couldn't pick a favorite. The marinated egg in the pork belly was so yummy that we ordered another egg on the side. If you can't tell from my rambling, we loved this place, and we already can't wait to go back.

Where: Shake Shake Fresh Noodle 1049 Nipomo Street (In The Creamery across from Goshi), SLO www.ssfreshnoodle.com What: $0.00 - Starter of potato noodles $11.99 - Chili Oil Wontons $12.99 - House Beef Roll $17.99 - Numbing Spicy Minced Pork Noodle $20.99 - House Special Beef Bone Noodle $17.99 - Braised Pork Belly Noodle Ok. This is going to be super short because: #1 Three of us ate all these dishes and we all agreed about them #2 All of the dishes were amazing #3 The service from Vivi, her husband and the chefs was something like out of a movie it was so good #4 I predict there will be a line at this restaurant like you’ve never seen before because it’s so good Vivi, one of the owners, greeted my two friends and I as we sat down, brought water and this potato noodle dish which is unlike anything I have ever had before. The texture and perfect seasoning. Along with their housemade chili oil… oh my. Chili oil wontons? They make the noodle wrapping for the wonton there!!! Like we were in some big city! Filled with pork I believe and covered with the chili oil, absolute perfection. I could eat 50 of them easily. House beef roll is another dish I have never seen before. Probably my least liked dish, but we’re talking an 8/10 vs 9/10 or 10/10. It was like a Chinese sliced beef burrito! What?? Spicy minced pork noodles - both with their flat noodles and round noodles. They make their OWN NOODLES!!! They stretch them in front of the whole dining room when an order is made!!! FREAKING AMAZING! The noodles are the star of the show, but the proportions of the toppings fits so well with the amount of noodles. I would have loved more of the numbing Sichuan/Szechuan pepper but that is something you really need to know about before eating, so I think they’re playing it safe for the white peeps. Beef Bone Noodle soup - Oh, my. The rib must have been cooked for 6-8 hours easily. It fell off the bone, but still had a bite to it. Not too much salt or extraneous seasoning because you can add soy sauce, vinegar and chili oil at the table to your liking. I ate the whole thing and I didn’t feel full, I felt satiated. Braised pork belly noodle - Well, the pork belly was cooked to perfection. Tender, juicy, beautiful. Holy moly. I visited a high end Taiwanese restaurant in Century City called Din Tai Fung a year and a half ago and the food at Shake Shake was just as good, if not superior to Din Tai Fung. Yes, I know Taiwanese cuisine and the various styles of Chinese cuisine are not the same, but they take the same extraordinary amount of skill and love to do it properly. Shake Shake is gonna shake the county up - seriously good food and I will be back many times to come! I don't normally post on google for food reviews, but this place is SO good, I want to them thrive and succeed here.

Noodle was made fresh on the spot and the texture is al dente. The spicy flat noodle is so delicious, a must try dish. I also love their beef noodle soup. My super favorite dish was the spicy & sour goat meat soup. The owners, Vivian & Ivan, are very attentive & courteous. Their employees were happy & smiling all times. Overall, the restaurant provides great ambiance & delicious foods. Highly recommended if you are in San Luis Obispo area!👍🏻

This place is the BEST! The beef noodle bowl is delicious and I'm gluten free and they ALWAYS accommodate me! I get it without the noodles and just vegetables and it's delicious! The food comes out fast & fresh and hot - it's AMAZING! One of our favorite places to eat in SLO and the staff are truly the nicest most friendly people on the planet. I'm serious they are so generous they'll just bring out little plates to try and they always thank us for coming. I cannot recommend this place more!

So good!! We were traveling through and found this spot on yelp. Amazing service, quality of food and clean, open seating. Cute patio and some outdoor seating as well. The dry Chili oil flat noodles were delicious! Beef roll, pork belly and minced pork dishes were all great. I would definitely order the chili oil again. Fun to sit and watch the noodles being stretched by hand. Just wish they had more locations!

SLO needed an authentic and tasty noodle spot. Shake Shake Fresh Noodle is that spot. Okay, the bone-in beef spicy soup. Get it. The broth has deep, strong, spicy, and fresh flavors. The beef and noodles are also melty, authentic, and delicious. It's such a hearty, satisfying bowl. The marinated, pickled sides are also a must. They are the perfect sweet and spicy complement to the soup. Service? Also a 10/10. So quick and so friendly. They rock here. I am so happy to see Shake Shake in SLO. This town needed this place!

The price of this noodle house is a little higher than other Chinese restaurants but the meat quality was great and very tasty. We came here for dinner. Four of us shared the Chili oil wontons, House beef roll, spicy noodles, the pork belly rice bowl, stewed lamb and carrot noodles, and House special beef rib noodle soup. My husband loved the spicy wontons. I liked the signature beef noodle soup the best. The beef rib was tender and perfectly cooked. It's delicious, but it's a little saltier than I prefer. One negative point was that our flat noodles were a bit mushy and they stuck together. You have to use scissors to cut the noodles. Also, the flat noodles lost their structure and their texture. Therefore, we don't recommend the flat noodles. However, the food here is something you cannot get at other places, particularly in SLO.

I highly recommend. I enjoyed everything I ate. The food was fresh and very good. Everything was fresh, warm and delicious. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. You order access the menus from the QR code and just the same you order straight from your phone. It was 5 of us and we all gave it a 5/5 stars. The vibe inside is relaxing & casual.

Partner and I ordered a soup, dry noodle and appetizer and we enjoyed each one with the Chili Oil Noodle Flat Noodle being our favorite. Each dish was delicious and savory season. Love that the noodle is fresh and I was able to choose if I wanted rounded or flat for the Beef Noodle soup. The service was really fast and we were lucky to find parking really fast in the complex on a Thursday night.

Chinese hand pulled noodles in San Luis Obispo?! Yes, please. We stayed in San Luis Obispo for our wine tasting trip to Paso Robles and were surprised to find authentic hand pulled noodle soup in the area. It was perfect after a day of drinking :p Ambiance: (5/5) For a noodle shop, this place is surprisingly well decorated with high ceilings, oversized windows, and a patio. Service: (5/5) Definitely more attentive than many other noodle places I've been to. Food: (4/5) The beef roll and beef noodle soup were both solid choices. Beef roll was comparable to many other top noodles place in SoCal. The soup needs a slight more depth though. I'd recommend stopping by if you are in the area. After wine tasting, it really hits the spot.

Shake Shake Fresh Noodle is hands-down the best hand-pulled Chinese noodle spot not just in San Luis Obispo, but the whole county. You'd be driving hours to find anything that even comes close. The service matches the food--both excellent--and the prices are more than fair.

I parked across the street with the intention of walking to Goshi. Then, I got sidetracked because I heard a nice Bruno Mars song coming from a different restaurant called Shake Shake. I glanced at the menu, and decided to eat at Shake Shake instead of sushi from Goshi. I ordered the tofu noodle soup with a side of dumplings. They were so good. My noodle was so long that I would extend my arm while grabbing the noodle with my chopsticks and the noodle was longer than that! You can see it on this Instagram video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOZKIcOEpmL/ and they were delicious. I saved half of them to take home for later. They use a QR code at the table to order. It gave me San Diego vibes and reminds me of when I used to have lunch during the weekdays for some noodles.

My thoughts: This is a traditional classic Chinese noodle restaurant that is been around the San Luis bison are through out the up and down of the economy. And any restaurant can survive the harsh business world is A OK in my book. Plus they do serve good Chinese noodle food and maintain a reasonable price. Here is my scoring card for this restaurant: 1) Location: ( 5 Point ) - Great location for customer to see and find. Great parking for street parking and back side with parking lot parking. 2) Decoration : (2 Point) - They still have the original decoration. Clean but not up to date. 3) Price: ( 4 point)- The price is competitive but still a little bit pricey compare to other same stars and type food they serve 4) Quality and Taste : ( 3 point)- The quality is ok, food taste is good and portions are below average . 5) Type of cuisine standard : ( 4 point) - The style of Chinese noodle food they serve is pretty close to the way it was prepare in China. Not bad! But some dishes did have slightly modify to cater the customer's need Overall it's not bad and I thinks it's great to give it a try and let me know what you think. Go foodies Total max is 25 Score 18 Stars = 72% round up to 3 stars

FUXS GIVEN = 5.0 ******************* Food = 5 We had the flat noodle with chili oil, mine had the beef bone. Delicious. This is what SLO needs, unique flavors. One of the best meals I've had in SLO county in a while. Spicy but not too spicy, noodles had perfect texture and the beef was outstanding. UX = 5 The restaurant looks great. Indoor or outdoor seating. Korean style water at the table. I love the open kitchen and whole vibe of the place. Service = 5 I don't love a QR code menu but they have hard menus on request. Server was efficient and the food came out very quickly.

I got the numbing spicy minced pork noodle with flat noodles - not spicy at all but really yummy and a pretty big portion! I love the texture of the hand pulled noodles but the sauce in the beef roll was a little too sweet for me. There are plenty of seats and it looks beautiful inside with so much natural light. The way they take their orders is very innovative - everyone can place their own order to the table online. The food comes out very quickly. Everyone who works there is SOOOO friendly, we had such a nice experience here!

Doing a redo review for eating here the other day! Highly recommend eating inside rather than ordering takeout. The service is fast and great. We ordered cucumber salad, pork belly rice, house special bone broth beef noodle soup with flat noodles, and mala minced pork dry round noodle. The cucumber salad was well seasoned and marinated with a strong garlic flavor profile. Super refreshing. The pork belly rice is authentic and really tasty! I love how the sauce is soaked in the rice and overall just a great comfort meal. The house special bone broth beef noodle soup with flat noodles was super flavorful. The beef falls off the bone and is so tender and more fatty, but so good! I loved the soup flavor. The mala minced pork dry round noodle was so good! Perfectly flavored and you mix it together before you eat. We ate family style, and highly recommend that way to try more food! Will come again to eat here, rather than do takeout! The restaurant is spacious and has lots of seating.

Excellent addition to the Central Coast and the best noodles in the area! As a huge fan of hand pulled noodles, we were super excited to find out about this place from our neighbor. We love them so much we came here 3 times within 2 weeks. The first time I was too excited to order that I picked the wrong noodles (not a big fan of small/thin noodles), so we came back 2 days later and tried all the dishes with the big flat noodles, definitely made a huge difference! To set the record straight, it is not the best hand pulled noodles we have had (X'ian Famous Food is still our #1 pick!), but it's in the top 5 overall, and obviously, #1 for this area. Pricing is higher compares to anywhere else we have been, but it's justifiable since there's no competitor for them. The restaurant is always packed each time we go, for a good reason of course. However, the wait has never been longer than 15-20mins. You put your name down on the list, and just stick around waiting for your name to be called. Once seated, just scan the QR code on the table to place your order and the food should arrive within 10 mins or so. Our go to dishes so far have been the garlic cucumber (make sure you add chili oil to enhance flavor), egg and tomato with noodle for our kiddo, and braised beef noodle soup for us. You really can't go wrong with any one of those. The parking lot is free but very small. You have much better chance just parking across the street or find some street parking. The restaurant looks like it used to be some kind of European cafe. When they first opened, there were still cafe style tables and chairs, which we are glad they switched them out for bigger tables and more fitting style. If you're in the area or just craving some great chinese food/noodle soup, I highly recommend this place!

Finally some decent noodles in SLO! And they make their noodles fresh right at the counter. Our table split the potato salad, garlic cucumbers, minced pork noodle, the beef noodle soup, the tomato beef noodle and we got two of the spicy wonton. Don't expect this place to be like din tai fung just fyi. Given the demographic in the area, the flavors are pretty mild. Wish they leaned into the vinegar and spice a bit more but overall good for an Asian restaurant in SLO. Will come Back to try the beef roll in the future. Our total was $150 before tax for four people after a night out.

This restaurant is where the old bamboo bamboo was located. Very spacious and open place! Quick service and good pricing! The only reason for not giving this place a 5 is that we felt rushed! I get they were busy but it very much felt like they were trying to kick us out but constantly wanting to remove plates and coming by and seeing if we were done. Pork and cabbage boiled dumplings- really good! Great flavor and cook, the dough wasnt too thin or thick and just delicious bites. Braised pork belly noodles- noodles perfectly cooked, the pork belly just melted in your mouth and the whole plate was packed with flavor. If you're looking for simple but delicious food, stop by!

We absolutely loved the beef (short rib) noodle soup (with flat noodles) and their pork + cabbage dumplings/wontons. The flat noodles were so fresh and chewy. The staff are welcoming and the service was quick. Orders are placed via the QR code that's on every table. The space itself is bright and airy. They have nice tables and chairs. Overall a nice place to dine comfortably.

Most authentic modern Chinese noodles in SLO! You can see the kitchen from the seating and the layout is nice and spread out. Service was amazing and our server was very communicative. She let me try a bit of the minced pork as I had a concern about the spice. She also was clear that all of the noodle soups contain peanut oil (nut allergy). Food was amazing, I would definitely come back again!

If you ever find yourself in SLO, make sure you stop by shake shake fresh noodle for some yummy food! We got the braised pork belly noodle, chili oil flat noodle with beef rib, chili oil wontons, and beef roll. I love the beef rib - it was so tender and fall off the bone. We literally demolished everything! The flat noodles were so fresh and the round noodles were good too. The appetizers were a hit! I didn't even get to take pictures because I was so excited to devour the wontons and beef roll. I thought the flavors were on point especially being from OC (we're spoiled with a lot of good Asian food). This was definitely up there. The place is well lit and so full of life. We went on a Saturday night and it was packed but we were still able to sit. The staff were so friendly. Every server was so attentive and kind. The food came out within minutes - it was so quick. I was really impressed. Only thing - we wanted to an egg to our noodles but saw it cost almost $3. Talk about inflation. Overall, pretty good!

What a hidden gem - run, don't walk to Shake Shake Fresh Noodle. It's so rare to find FRESHLY HAND PULLED NOODLE restaurants these days, and in both round and flat options too! Here you'll find ShangXi (province in Northern China) style fresh Chinese noodles (dry and soup), dumplings, and sides! We came on a Tuesday night around 7:45PM and the restaurant was about half full (a great sign to start). We were met with friendly, quick and attentive service; ordered 3 sides and 2 noodle soups. We were seated right in front of the noodle master (this chef has most definitely earned this title) and got to watch him pull batch after batch of fresh round thin and flat wide noodles to order. We were served all our cold sides within a minute of ordering. The side dishes are traditional and meant to be enjoyed cold to complement the hot noodles (similar to banchan at Korean restaurants). Our hot noodle soups followed shortly after. We KILLED all of our food, it was amazing. During our dining experience, we also watched group after group come in and by 8:15PM when we left, the restaurant was full (an even better sign) especially noting that Shake Shake is tucked one block off Higuera Street. We chatted briefly with the owner, and they shared they have only been open two months; I hope their business only continues to pick up! Garlic Cucumber $8.99 (served chilled) - garlic forward, seasoned with sesame oil and super crunchy Chili Oil Potato Salad $8.99 (served chilled) - thinly shredded potato and carrot salad - not spicy, super refreshing, hint of chili oil Dried Shredded Tofu $10.99 (served chilled) - thin tofu noodles, surprisingly cumin and cilantro flavored; cold and refreshing; the cumin seasoning is unique (at least to me and a nice change Golden Sour & Spicy Lamb Noodle Soup $18.99 - slow heat that creeps up, pairs super well with the lamb, tender and not gamey; the flat noodles were perfectly QQ (chewy) and al dente. Pickled Cabbage Beef Noodle Soup $18.99 - not spicy, round noodles, clear broth; beef was braised and thinly sliced; noodles also chewy and a bit less al dente (as compared to the flat noodles)

I need to give the owners of Shake Shake a Kiss Kiss if you know what I'm saying! Without a doubt, the absolute greatest asian meal I have EVER had in my life! Hot damn the only issue is my American appetite couldn't get enough! Heck, I even ordered the same stainless steel cups they had off amazon for myself! Despite them being packed every time I dine here, they've served every meal in under 10 minutes! Unbelievable. And dont even get me started on the perfectly volumed neo jazz funk on the playlist. If im ever on death row, their dry noodle pork belly will be my final meal. Thank you and PLEASE stay here forever

5 stars - A hidden gem in SLO! I stopped in San Luis Obispo and stumbled upon this small family-owned spot called Shake Shake Fresh Noodles. I decided to try their House Special Beef Bone Noodle Soup, and based on the staff's recommendation, I went with the rounded noodles, and I'm so glad I did. This place blew me away. The portion size was just right, and the beef was tender and flavorful, but the real stars of the show were the noodles and the broth, which were absolutely 11/10. The noodles had that perfect bounce and chew, and the broth was rich, comforting, and deeply flavorful. Everything just melted in my mouth. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into their food; this is not your average noodle shop. Though I'm not local, I'll be coming back. I'll also recommend this spot to all my athletes who pass through SLO. It's a must-visit. Shoutout to Bernie and David for their outstanding service. They were warm and attentive and made the whole experience even better. I truly appreciate the hospitality. Support this place, it's worth every bite.

The owner was so kind and welcoming. ViVi even took the time to speak with us about the business, which made the experience feel extra special. You can really tell she is proud of her restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing! I had the spicy chili oil flat noodles with beef, and the beef was so tender and flavorful. I also tried the chili oil wontons, which were incredibly delicious. Visiting from Los Angeles, and this spot alone is worth the drive back. I'll definitely be returning just to eat here again! Thank you Vivi!

The owners and David always greet the guests with a smile, and both go above and beyond hospitalization. They take their time for questions, and accomodation. Service is quick. We always eat at this restaurant whenever we visit the city. The meat is so tender and the broths are so creamy and delicious! It feels like we're eating a Michelin star food. This is our 5th time to be here. That's how great the foods taste. Our usual order: Braised pork belly dry noodles House Special Beef Noodle Soup Braised beef noodle soup If you're in this area, pls try this restaurant. You won't regret it:)

I'm stoked! We finally made it to Shake Shake Fresh Noodles, catty corner from Goshi's, open two months now. What a thrill to finally have some sophisticated food in SLO to go along with all the burger joints and mostly so-so fine dining! We've been needing this place like forever. The room is Shenzhen-chic, open and moderne. And it's an open kitchen so you feel the energy going into the food, which is intense, efficient and professional. The menu is very streamlined--two kinds of noodles, soup or dry, just five ways to go when you include the rice plates. But go! Then there is a limited choice of "appetizers," and there you will find just two go-alongs for your noodles along with some heavier fare like dumplings. With cauldrons at a constant boil, service is super express, less than five minutes, so it's a great place for a satisfying 30-minute lunch experience during the workweek. We went for House Special Beef Bone Noodle Soup and it was an absolute knock-out. Tender beef sliding off its rib bone that gave way perfectly to chewing, spiced with perhaps a bit of 5-spice. We had it with thin, "round" noodles that were silky as could be and finished a bit rich and creamy. Godful. We also had The Braised Beef Noodle Soup with flat noodles. The chunks of lightly-spiced stew beef again were cooked to chewy-melting tenderness, like perfect. And the flat noodles, although made from the same dough, were a hearty contrast to the thin noodles. Both broths were fantastic. The cucumber salad came neat, just garlic. You dress it at the table with chili oil, soy sauce, black vinegar. The portions are Cantonese style. They tend to eat 5 smaller meals a day. It probably might not be quite enough food for hearty eaters. But they got you covered. It's just $5 to add some more noodles. Other add-ons are options. Or, share a plate of dumplings to start, $16. The garlic cuke is mandatory, imo, $9. What a delight to go to a restaurant that doesn't think overfeeding is a beautiful thing. It isn't. There's more to be said, but I don't want to ruin it for you. Thank you, Vue Vue and husband, for following your hearts and settling in the SLOtown you find so friendly. We've been waiting a long, long time for you!

Probably the most perfectly okay food. The most perfect 5/10 I've ever had. It tasted as if a white person taught me how to make these dishes on TikTok. The wonton wrappers were nice, but the filling tasted overwhelmingly like shrimp when it was a shrimp/pork mix. The spicy sauce for both the noodles and the wontons were not spicy at all, it was as if they just used a red oil. The chili oil you have at your table tasted more nutty than spicy. Flavor wise, it was there but also not really. The texture of the noodles was the same

Thank god for a new Asian restaurant in SLO. I can see this restaurant becoming the next favorite places to go. As you enter the restaurant, you can see them pulling and making the noodles fresh in house. Our favorites weee the Pork Cabbage Dumplings & Braised Beef Chili Oil Noodles. Everything arrived steaming hot, the way I like it! The flat noodles are amazing, they were chewy and bouncy. The owner is super sweet and friendly, she repeatedly checked up on us. We noticed that there were other guests that have been coming back frequently since the opening to support the business. They offer plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. The restaurant is super cute and can get busy! ig: @cravingswithcat

Delicious, fresh noodles and amazing broth I hope they keep up with their success and keep stuff in stock as well since there is so much we love and we need this in town! Ambiance was clean and nice, service was super friendly, and the owner is awesome :) Only note: if there could be one more entree option for someone who doesn't eat red meat (besides tomato egg), my parents would love it. Unfortunately I know pork and beef are more common for these kinds of restaurants!

Wow so good! Had low expectations given I live in Cupertino where there's a Chinese restaurant on every corner but this was delicious! You can definitely taste the hand-pulled quality of the noodles. Tastes nostalgic and super tasty at the same time. Clean and good service too!

Great service. We went on a Sunday and hour before their afternoon closing. Wasn't too busy and they easily were accommodating to large groups and families. Everyone was very attentive. Food was good, not great. We had the refreshing cucumbers and wontons as an appetizers, though the wontons came out after our noodles dishes. Noodles dishes came out quickly. Taste was a bit bland but luckily there was chili oil, vinegar, and soy sauce on the side. Noodles were delicious and chewy. Glad there is a place like this in the area, but there are definitely better places outside of SLO. Not on our list to definitely come back to.

I was unsure of what I wanted and was offered a small sample of the broth to help me decide which was a first for me and made sure I enjoyed my meal. Everything was full of flavor that complemented each other. Amazing and memorable is my impression of Shake Shake with superb service that feels like I'm dining at a friend's house. My new Favorite in town!!

Hands down my favorite Chinese food I've ever had. I do not like "traditional" American, Chinese cuisine, as it tastes like all the same flavor profile to me, but this place is different. We were drawn in with the mention of "handmade" noodles and were pleasantly surprised by this restaurant's unique culinary offerings/menu. The food has fantastic flavor and not overly salty. You can't go wrong with any dish. One of the best parts about this restaurant is the ease of dining. You order/prepay on your phone and food is served within minutes, however, the food tastes like it took hours/days. Food is reasonably priced. Perfect for a casual date night or a family affair. The owner came to check on us when we were dining in-she was charming and warm. Glad we got to connect with her! Thankful she chose SLO to open up this place. If you are looking for comfort food that is refreshing and delicious, this is your joint!

Really had a great dinner here. Wontons in chili oil, beef roll, beef and pickled cabbage noodle soup, spicy minced pork noodles, all were very good, and portions were generous. Staff was very nice and helpful. It'd be great if they add Dan Dan noodles. Will go again when we're back in town.

I don't think you can order something bad here, everything is so fresh and flavorful and the service is so so fast you can be in and out in 15 mins if you wanted to. The staff is extremely kind and helpful and it's really the perfect meal.

I eat the pickled cabbage soup once or twice a week and there's no end in sight. I love this place and the service is incredibly fast and attentive

On a Saturday night at 745, we were sat at a two top immediately which was pretty impressive given the fact that Memorial Day weekend tourists crowded the entirety of the creamery and downtown. I'd heard great things and had been excited to go here for a while, i enjoy the ability to see the chefs making the food behind the counter. My pork belly noodles, i chose round, were good, tasted fresh, nice flavor not overwhelming maybe even could have been better with a bit more beyond the soy sauce. My date enjoyed the braised beef noodle soup and chili oil wontons. It was busy, the tables are pretty close together, you order off the QR code on the table and the food was brought out quickly. It's loud when busy, they have outdoor seating, share the bathroom with mamas meatball. Overall i won't rush to return but it was a good experience, maybe i was just a bit underwhelmed due to the high praise I'd heard nonstop since they opened (which may also be related to the dearth of authentic Asian cuisine in the area). Also the majority of drinks were sold out when we went but it would have been nice to try the teas.

Shake Shake Fresh Noodle Review A lot of friends have been asking for my opinion on Shake Shake Fresh Noodle. I tried a couple of weeks after Grand Opening, to give the owners some time to hone in their systems. Went to Shake Shake twice in last 24 hours, both Friday (4/25) and Saturday night (4/26). With both their inside and outdoor dining area, they were seating 80-100 customers per hour. About 15 people ahead on waitlist, but our wait time was about 20 minutes both days. Very efficient. Happy to see them doing well their first month. Dishes our tables ordered over the past 2 days: APPS: 1. Chili Potato Salad $9 - Surprisingly good and refreshing. Sichuan oil & blanched julienned potato. Slight crunch. Loved the texture, would order again. 2. House Beef Roll $13 - Cold cut Beef wrapped in Cong You Bing scalllion pancake w oyster sauce and cucumber. Surprised that the pancake was a cold dish. 3. Beef Onion Dumplings $17 - Standard. Doesn't seem to be handmade, just frozen. Would rather get an entree for $17, as they're just boiled, not pan fried. DRY NOODLES: 1. Numbing Spicy Minced Pork Noodle $18 - Not very spicy at all, had to add a couple tablespoons of chili oil to make it spicy enough for me. Slight numbing from Sichuan peppercorn oil. Not overpowering, very approachable for SLO. Julienned cucumbers add a layer of freshness. 2. Braised Pork Belly Noodle $18 - Solid option for braised pork belly in SLO. Doesn't come advertised as spicy, so you'll need to add a lot of chili oil. Don't let the portion size fool you. Decent amount of pork belly, the fat combined with the chili oil fills you up well. 3. Chili Oil Flat Noodle w/ Beef Bone $22 - Favorite dish there. Absolutely loaded with crispy garlic and scallions. Would order again. Beef bone is spectacular. SOUPS: 1. House Special Beef Bone Noodle (spicy) $21 2. House Special Beef Bone Noodle (not spicy) $21 - Beef bone is the star. Slides off bone, but the braise time still maintains an appropriate level of collagen for some bite. Not overcooked. Broth is not the most flavorful I've had. Definitely not as flavorful as a Taiwanese Niu Rou Mian. But you're getting the dish for the hand pulled flat noodles and the huge Beef Bone, not for the broth. TAKEAWAYS: 1. Definitely recommend the flat noodles over the round. You can see the chef pulling by hand the long flat noodles every 10-15 minutes in front of you. They have a really good bite. 2. Spice level is very mild here. I believe they adjusted their seasonings since Grand Opening in response to google reviews. I didn't find the flavor in itself lacking, but simply tempered in respect to spice. 3. I believe they intentionally don't oversalt or overspice their food. It would help to add a small 4x6 sign on each table, but you are freely able to add your own tableside chili oil spice to every dish, to adjust heat level to your preference. Which I believe is adjusted and intentional for the target demographic palette here in SLO. I chatted with both owners at the end of the night tonight and heard their background. They own a restaurant in the Bay and are excited to start a new venture here in SLO. Definitely want them to do well, and told them I will be leaving a yelp review. Will be returning again soon.

Perfect bowl of noodles! Order off your phone, hear the bell, and watch your noodles go in the boiling water. A quick boil and then the bowl is in front of you piping hot. Slurp it down! I've been three times. I was eating alone the last time and I was in and out in 10 minutes! Great service -- they actually want you back. One time we had the dry chili noodles and it was super spicy so just be careful

This place has so much potential, but something about their dishes is lacking. The tasty and warm food from my first visit (two weeks ago) left me impressed. However, my visit today was disappointing. I ordered the numbing spicy minced pork flat noodles and house special beef bone flat noodle soup; the noodles were inseparable and lacked flavor/spice (I have a low spice tolerance too!). I found that these same dishes in the Bay Area or SoCal are much easier to eat + more flavorful. The dishes were also pretty cold despite coming right when the restaurant opened. On the flip side, chili wontons have always been a 10/10, and the beef in my soup was tender!!! I appreciate how authentic this place is, especially since SLO lacks good asian food. As someone who is Asian and native to the Bay Area, this is the first step to being close to home!!! The setting is cute and simple, and their service is friendly and kind. However, I hope the taste and quality of the food can be improved; I don't want to keep dousing my food in vinegar and chili oil :(.

Service was so fast I was surprised when all the dishes came out within minutes of order. Bear in mind that I was here on a Tuesday. But there's about 5 other tables with people. Everything was delicious and tastes very authentic to northern style Chinese food. I would highly recommend the braised beef noodle, the chili wontons, the beef roll, and the beef onion dumplings. But I would also recommend trying anything that you think looks tasty to you. I am very excited because for my entire growing up here in slo there was little to be desired in terms of Chinese food. And this is the first solid spot and I am so happy! My friends became close to the owners and they learned that the owners came from Fremont in NorCal where they already have another restaurant so they have good experience in running a solid food joint. Please check it out and show them some love. The wait staff is also very kind and attentive. Nice chill ambiance and the space is modern and clean.
