Special Noodle Soup has a very un-special English name. But they are a Chiu Chow noodle joint that has some pretty special, to me, noodle dishes. The chinese name reflects a little more accurately (one of) their specialty, which is their chicken broth based noodle soup.
First these guys are Chiu Chow, so as you can see from the first photo, they make their own fish balls, cuttlefish balls, and beef balls etc… And these balls are balling for them. Ok maybe not huge crowds but definitely draws in the aficionados.
Second, these guys make good noodle broth. Slow cooked for 20 hours. You can taste the clean, fresh chicken broth with the unami from the bones, etc.
Mixed house-made meatballs combo: the winner for me. Chef’s recommendation for good reason. Its delicious. The balls are kicking balls.
Laksa fish noodle combo. Definitely try the fish noodle. Don’t see fish noodle much in the bay area. the last time i had something like this was when Wenzhou Noodle place was still open in San Jose. The noodle is made with beam fish paste. Good stuff.
