" I visited Ark after a friend highly recommended it. The food didn’t quite meet the high expectations. The noodles were bland, and I felt they needed more seasoning. Service was alright but not particularly special. The vibe of the business could use some upgrades as well. I might try other nearby restaurants next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have had my share of Chinese food, and Ark definitely ranks high on my list! The egg tofu was delicious and I loved their chow mein. The atmosphere is more family-friendly than upscale but very welcoming. The only complaint? The waiting time when it’s busy. But that says something about how good the food is! I recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends introduced me to Ark and I can see why they love it! The staff was super friendly, and the food was delightful. We had a giant bowl of beef noodle soup that was incredibly warming. The dumplings were juicy — just the right amount of seasoning. The overall experience was enjoyable, and I can't recommend it enough for family outings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Ark while exploring Alameda and I'm so glad I did. Their hot and sour soup paired with hand-pulled noodles was precisely what I needed. The flavors were intense and satisfying! It is small and casual, which suits me just fine. The staff were busy but managed to be friendly. Will definitely return to try more from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visit Ark whenever I'm in town because I can't get enough of their hand-pulled noodles. Every dish is made with such care, and the flavors are always spot on. The atmosphere is casual which makes it perfect for a laid-back dinner after a long day. I bring friends along and they always leave impressed. Definitely a hidden gem in Alameda! " (*Curated Review*)

" Good ambiance for dining with friends! The hand-pulled noodles are legendary, and their spicy garlic wings are a must-try. I do wish the restaurant was a little cleaner, though. Additionally, the portions for such a casual spot were quite generous. Definitely a place I’ll revisit for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" For someone who enjoys authentic Chinese cuisine, Ark is a treasure. The hand-pulled noodles bring a taste of nostalgia. I've tried numerous dishes on their menu, and I still haven't been disappointed! The service is always warm, and the dishes arrive promptly. A fantastic place to indulge with friends or family anytime. Don’t miss their garlic noodles! " (*Curated Review*)
