The recipe really needs only 2 TEAspoons of soy sauce and NOT 2 tablespoons. Even without the parmesan it was was waay waaay too salty and other comments on the allrecipes said so too. Mad it a second time with 2 teaspoons and it was amazing!

you are amazing at capturing the heart and authenticity of any cuisine! shows a kind of respect for others and discernment that makes you and this channel unparalleled. and thank you for recognizing this dish is specific to SF!

Sir, I am an Englishman and tried this recipe yesterday in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I added some prawns and achieved spectacular result which impressed the locals! Thank you.
Thank you for this recipe!! I made this dish today. It was delicious!! I made a slight modification - I added hoisin sauce and less of soy sauce. This dish is versatile; it goes great with anything: grilled chicken, steak, or even saute seafood. Lol Again thank you!!!
Just made this and modified it a bit with some mushrooms, onions, and meatballs. Absolutely delicious. Gonna streamline my technique with this dish and put it into my little dinner rotation. Excellent stuff.
Thanh Long is the name of the restaurant and in my opinion, is the best Asian restaurant in the SF-Bay Area, we love it! For those that haven't had the honor to try their food, you've given them a little taste with your version of their garlic noodles😉. Everything at Thanh Long is great, but their garlic noodles🍜 are amazing and excellent👍✌🙌😋!!! Also, at a little cheaper price than Thanh Long, PPQ Dungeness Island, in SanFran's Richmond District, is really great as well👍😉!
Amen... yet I never will know if everything else on the menu is amazing. It's only roast crab and garlic noodles for me. BTW lifehack: If you are out with family/friends order one crab at a time. Its better to eat them quick because the butter will solidify in no time.
@@perpetuallylove I used the traditional kikkoman soy sauce.I added a little more than 2 tablespoon that's just how I preferr it and it came out good. Maybe the maggi seasoning it stronger Or have different flavors?
My fiance just did this for dinner, he trusts your cuisine a lot, we were intrigued about the flavor as an all, but we had a very very unexpected surprise, this is AMAZINGLY GOOD and we ate it without anything else
Mmmmmmm! Made this for dinner with rice noodles, wine-ginger poached chicken and crunchy stir fried veggies. So good! The cheese and Asian spices are unexpected and somehow all that garlic mellows out beautifully!
Great recipe (everything chef John does is fantastic)! I hate reviewing recipes when I made alterations to the original, but I did add toasted sesame seeds as a garnish. As the recipe already calls for sesame oil- it is not a huge stretch from the original...Thanks for the video chef!
Recipe is AMAZING I tried this with and without fish sauce...and actually used a bit of sugar...and of course loads MORE fresh crushed garlic and peccarino cheese. Yumm
I lived in southern Thailand for several years and we were not far from one of the main factories were fish sauce is made, you could smell it for miles before you got to it. You are so right, it tastes way better than it smells.
You are without question my favorite you tube chef!! I have made so many of your recipes and have had 100% success. So thank you for your continued effort to maintain high quality as well as the integrity of truly teaching us.
One of my student days fall back dinners was noodles, garlic, soy sauce and Parmesan since I always had those things even if I hadn't bought groceries in a while. This looks like a way better version. And I even have the oyster sauce and fish sauce in the kitchen! Dinner
THANK YOU!!!!! Looking for simpler dishes nowadays since I am studying full time again (after 7 years haha) Any time saving dishes are great! And I LOVE garlic. I eat almost everyday! It looks divine! Thank you !!
I just made this and it is really good. A word of warning, this is pretty salty. Even though Chef John said not to, I used low sodium soy sauce anyway and it was still salty. Word of advice if you want to watch your sodium intake be mindful of how much you salt your pasta water and either add a small amount or omit the parmesan cheese at the end.
Just made this for me and my wife, she was a bit scared by the amount of garlic involved but when she tasted it her face lighted up, she loved it just like me. By the way, the more you eat the better it tastes...it's weird. Thanks Chef John.
Ji Choi I guess some people could find it salty, I like things on the salty side. Do you added salt to the pasta cooking water? I didn’t, also some fish and soy sauce brands are saltier than others.
@@enelove012 Lotta ingredients in it have salt in them. Soy sauce (he says go full salt), fish sauce, parmesan, heavily salted boiling water ... maybe something else, I don't know, but that's more than plenty already. Sometimes chefs use so much salt they can't taste it anymore. I take their advice on salt with a huge ... grain of salt.
going to the kitchen right now to cook it...... it's 3:40 a.m in Pakistan right now (my family, my neighborhood, even their pet animals are all asleep).
Made this tonight and added some scallops. Soooo good!! And the cheese is definitely necessary! I tasted it before I remembered to add it and wasn't super impressed. But after I added it... blown away!!!!
Chef John, please do a video on the garlic crab you mentioned!! I wanted to ask for a garlic/chilli garlic crab for ages and never did, this video gave me the confidence I needed though.
Very tasty. Added 7 or 8 large raw shrimp, a half roasted Red Bell, & a couple Napa & Swiss Chard leaves. Topped with the juice of a Key Lime at time of serving. Colorful, a complete meal, & delicious. Thanks Chef John.
Made these delicious garlic noodles tonight for dinner. I used Bucatini noodles and they were so good. Thank you so much, Chef John for sharing this wonderful recipe. It was divine.
Asian from San Francisco here 🙋🏻♀️ I’ve been making garlic noodles for years and after trying this recipe, which is fine, I still prefer the original: Mix sauce together: 1T Golden Mountain (or soy) sauce 1T Fish Sauce 1T Oyster Sauce (oyster should be the 1st ingredient) - set aside Melt over low heat: 3T butter 1T olive oil Continually stir 8 (or more!) cloves freshly grated garlic to butter and cook about 3 min until the garlic is soft but not brown. Add 600g cooked chewy noodles (egg noodles, or spaghetti works fine too) Coat it well with the garlic butter. Then stir in the sauce. Take it off the heat and add 35g fresh grated Parmesan cheese. Plate up! Garnish with fresh cracked black pepper, sliced green onions and a lemon wedge to lightly squeeze over the noodles and add a brightness to the heaviness of the butter. Don’t use jarred garlic or store “Parmesan” in a shaker. Freshly grated makes a huge difference! This comes out perfect every time!
I just made this with the stuff I had on hand and I used Costco rice noodles and had it with chicken for my husband and I and we are so satisfied with the results, he even said he'd love that sauce to pour over rice lol. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, can't wait to whip it up again for more dinners when I'm craving some good Chinese noodles
I'm hardly a cook (making omelettes is my limit!) but this channel is the only cooking channel I subscribe to because those videos, which combine devine recipes with genuinely funny/witty commentary are a joy to watch. Next step for me is to actually try some of those mouth watering recipes :)

The first time I made this it was way too salty and I didn't even add the Parmesan cheese yet. The second time I made this I only added 2 teaspoons of soy sauce and it was perfect. I've even used the sauce in a fried rice by adding egg and it was amazing.
Yeah, the sauce is insanely salty, I have no idea why he would recommend to “generously” salt the pasta water as well. Cook the pasta in unsalted or barely salted water and you’re good.
The "secret sauce" truly makes this dish. I served it with some crabmeat right out of the container and it was perfect! You could mix the crab in but then the contrasting flavor would not be as striking. Delicious!
This reminded me of what I used to make often after I graduated from college, which was spaghetti, soy sauce, and garlic. Was very good! I'm sure this recipe is much better, but in a pinch......
I made this the other day minus the Worcestershire sauce. I added little sugar instead and used bottled parmesean to sprinkle on top. Which works well! I will try freshly grated parm and W sauce mixed in next time! 😊
This recipe exists in The Sims 4 and I thought they were giving me something totally pulled from their own ass. Turns out, their studio is based in the Bay Area.

Looks great, anyone on here know the name of the restaurant in california, that is or has supposedly the greatest garlic noodles in the world? It is owned by an asian family, i think it has dragon in the name, and i think it is in san fran or LA, they won't even let anyone watch them prepare the food. Saw them on food network, maybe green dragon ? I am retired, fairly new to internet, any help appreciated.ty.
@@lifuranph.d.9440 ty my friend, do you by chance know the name ? I know they won't give up their recipe, but sometimes i can find a good copycat recipe. Beats lipton garlic noodles dry shelved in a bag from the grocery store, lol.
Oh, yes, OH, YES! Watched this while eating Thai chili oiled shrimp and ramen. This is next on the list. Compliments on choice of colors in presentation. That blue bowl draws you in to the splash of color in the noodles. Well done!
We are on Keto diet and heard about Konjac noodles. Different brands produce them in different styles. Only found them this week and have tried them once. Way better than zoodles.
Tried this the other night and toppings with some green and fried tofu...Thank you, chef. It was amazing and quick. I'm a student so quick recipes like this really help.

I wanna inflict pain on them by using sex
Lately I've been in good mood and I like cooking I'm not always like this
Italians and chinese people combined screaming XD
And their tears taste delicious, almost as salty as the sauce 😂
Dang it, you just made think of someone speaking Mandarin with an Italian accent, and now I have a headache.
Makes me think of that guy in a movie who was half German, half Chinese and grew up in the bronx
This dish is commonly served at Vietnamese Cajun places
This dish originated from a Vietnamese restaurant in SF, smarty. Chinese do not typically use fish sauce in their dishes.
I made a few small changes to this recipe because of what I happened to have on hand, and it was delicious!! I used fettuccine noodles 👍👍
omg. i am eating this right now and it is so good!! thanks, Chef John!
I’ve been to SF many times and had wonderful meals but never had these. I made it tonight and it was amazing! I will look for these when i go. I used buccatini my favorite
Looks great, anyone on here know the name of the restaurant in california, that is or has supposedly the greatest garlic noodles in the world? It is owned by an asian family, i think it has dragon in the name, and i think it is in san fran or LA, they won't even let anyone watch them prepare the food. Saw them on food network, maybe green dragon ? I am retired, fairly new to internet, any help appreciated.ty.
@@lifuranph.d.9440 ty my friend, do you by chance know the name ? I know they won't give up their recipe, but sometimes i can find a good copycat recipe. Beats lipton garlic noodles dry shelved in a bag from the grocery store, lol.
Hoping you get enough likes to make your post prominent to someone who knows the answer 💕
@@stevelogan5475 I believe the restaurant you are talking about is called Crustacean in SF.
@@Doone226 ty very much friend, i'll check it out, have a good day.
@@Missmethinksalot1 ty my friend, i'm retired and fairly new to the internet, we will see if someone knows.
Good !!😍
Hey chef John.
I’m pregnant.
Craving Chinese.
Get on it. All the Asian dishes you know please.
(Long time fan. You know me by now).
Oh, yes, OH, YES! Watched this while eating Thai chili oiled shrimp and ramen. This is next on the list.
Compliments on choice of colors in presentation. That blue bowl draws you in to the splash of color in the noodles. Well done!
LOVE this guys voice and emphasis!!!!!!
That's more buttery oily goodness per serving than a Rockefeller reserve.
"Freakishly small wooden spoon." 😆
Dang, and I'm on low carb diet but can't wait to try this.
We are on Keto diet and heard about Konjac noodles. Different brands produce them in different styles. Only found them this week and have tried them once. Way better than zoodles.
A little treat from time to time doesn't hurt 😉
@@BombaJead I agree
Tried this the other night and toppings with some green and fried tofu...Thank you, chef. It was amazing and quick. I'm a student so quick recipes like this really help.
