Reviews for Chong Qing Xiao Mian in Fremont, CA
Pre-COVID review: Great little overlooked restaurant that shares the plaza with a 99 Ranch and the ever popular Bing's... Dumplings. Their name states they are more geared towards Chongqing city style dishes but their Sichuan dishes do not disappointat all. One of my favorite dishes is their Sichuan Cold Noodle ($8). It's so fragrant and unique and very light to eat. TheirRice Noodle Soup ($9) doesn't sound all that impressive on the menu but what arrives at your table is a very deep, rich, pepperybroth with perfectly cooked Guilin round rice noodles amongst mushrooms, bean sprouts, tomatoes, pork, spam goodness. Perfectcomfort food. The highlight of this place would have to be their Special Live Fish dish ($30). A whole live fish from theirseasonal choices freshly roasted then finished cooking at your table with a portable stove on a giant sheet pan with a layer ofbroth, veggies and spices flavor of your choice. The fresh red peppers, extra spicy is my go to. The freshness of the fish andthe charred flavor from the roast complimented with the freshly chopped peppers layered on top of the fish makes this a verycomplete dish. Non spicy eaters can also enjoy the restaurant as the spice isn't heavily dumped on and rather works well tohighlight the other ingredients. Like I said at beginning, it seems like this place is vastly overlooked compared to the otherofferings in the plaza but definitely worth a try! Parking can be a little difficult to find at times but not impossible. Read more
To a white guy this place is where it's at if you're crazing some amazingly delicious and spicy noodles.
Hello, I have never left a negative review in my life. The price are decent, portions are super small, consider the price, but... main thing is they use residual meat for the main dish. Feel like a crooked restaurant experience I have. MC & KFC would havebeen a better choice ! Read more

Been here a few times. It seems there's a new name and ownership. The food is not bad. Although this time my soup got saltier... and saltier as I went further into my bowl. I have been getting their soup noodles most of my visits. If you like hot and spicythen this is the place for you. There are other hot dishes available as well. Their smell is so pungent that they make you coughfrom your table. The new owners don't seem to be very attentive. They don't have the habit of checking back with you. The tablenext to us kept getting up to request water and other things. Don't know how long they'll last. Read more
