New Tung Kee Noodle, a Vietnamese and Chinese spot that offers noodles and more in North Valley, is another inexpensive go-to, with four stars out of 191 Yelp reviews.

Yelper Kevin J. wrote, "The wonton noodle soup is pretty amazing. Noodle is full of texture, the meat had beautiful hints of herb mixed in, and for me, the star of the dish is the broth with how light, yet intense the flavor is."

Head over to 1098 E. Brokaw Road, Suite 30, to see for yourself.
