![]() Many of you may attribute this dish to Korean cuisine, but the Chinese have their own version as well. The first dish I ever had at QQ Noodles was their Jia Jiang Mien, or black bean sauce noodles. The menus are in both English and Chinese as well, with pictures so large that you can’t help but drool. For sharing purposes, each table is also given a pair of scissors. With spoons this big, you know that you’re probably going to be eating something good. The first thing you’ll notice when you are seated is the giant soup spoons. The restaurant’s name implies that the food there is so good that it makes you want to shed tears of happiness. ![]() The waiters have told me, though, that the letter Q is used because it sounds similar to the Chinese word for cry, which is ku. The name may sound strange to some people, especially online gamers who usually use QQ as slang to insult other players. ![]() I first tried QQ Noodles with my Dad, and today I was excited to take my sister and my mom there as well. Some shops claim to have hand-pulled noodles, but the result is often disappointing. I haven’t come across many hand-pulled noodles placed in the Bay Area. They’re also much more filling than any packaged ramen noodle. Made properly, hand-pulled noodles are chewy even if soaked in a broth. If I had to choose only one type to eat for the rest of my life, though, I would have to pick Chinese hand-pulled noodles. My penchant for pasta and noodles has probably been pretty apparent so far.
