Tong Soon Garden - Santa Clara, California

Tong Soon is a Korean Chinese restaurant. Their food is always decent. We have been here for over 20 years. It is always consistent. Their handmade noodles are very good. Don’t order too many dishes because quantity is pretty big. Price is not cheap since it is a big dish.

I tried their M5. Seafood Noodle Soup, and it was truly amazing! The soup came loaded with shrimps, clams, scallops, and squids—a seafood lover’s dream. The noodles were delightfully chewy, and the portion size was just right.

We also had their M3. black bean noodles with minced pork. The flavor was spot-on for me—I loved the sweetness from the onions and the texture of the chewy noodles. However, if you’re someone who prefers bolder flavors, consider adding a pinch of salt and a dash of chili pepper powder to enhance the taste.

So far, it seems not bad. Decent egg rolls and the Tong Soon chicken was fine, but it seemed a little subdued in flavor (so at least it probably isn't an unhealthy option). By the other reviews, their crown jewel seems to be their Korean food, so I look forward to revisiting and updating this.

Tastes really good!!! All dishes that we ordered are delicious. I was not hungry at that moment, but we have finished the whole 탕수육 (sweet and sour pork) 🙈
Service is great too!

Came by for lunch on a weekend with some friends. We appreciated the parking lot around the back, very convenient, and available street parking as well. Not crowded at all, sat right down.

The servers speak English, Korean and Mandarin. We ordered egg rolls, string beans, tang su yuk, ja jyang myeon and salt pepper fish fillet. Our favorite was the myeon, they gave plenty of sauce so we took the leftovers to-go to mix with some noodles at home. The meat for the tang su yuk didn’t seem quality, and the sauce was very sweet. Almost no tang at all. Paik’s Noodle does a better tang su yuk. The green beans were a very large portion.

Bathroom smelled very strongly of cleaning products. Could smell like worse things I suppose.

I noticed that our table only got one branch a side dish (kimchi) while the other (Korean) patrons got two extra banchan. We spoke Chinese and English…

We probably won’t come again.

A very tasty meal with good service. We tried something new and had ham egg fried rice. It was tasty and something interesting to try. We also tried Mongolian beef which was quite spicy and delicious. Next time we will try new adventures when we return.

This restaurant has been here for more than 20 years. With a high restaurant turn over rate in the bay area, the time speaks for it. This Korean Chinese restaurant is famous for noodles. So we ordered two noodle soup. We like the Chinese pickled with shredded pork noodle soup than the beef noodle soup. Both are very tasty. The noodle is Korean style noodle. The pork is very soft. The deep fried tofu is very crispy outside and soft inside. The best is that the gravy sauce is putting in a separate bowl, so the tofu can keep the crispiness before eaten.
The restaurant is good for small or big gathering. Even though it's right next to El camino, it's quiet inside and not affected by the busy traffic outsides. The parking on the back is a bit crowded.
