Reviews
The food doesn’t require any convincing, it is authentic and worth every dollar.
The menu is priced pretty good.
Good updates but still is not open for dine in which is a big bust.
They allowed dine-in, but the place looked very cold and uninviting, so I took it to-go.
I think they added an extra charge for getting it to-go because the numbers didn’t add up, but I didn’t get an itemized receipt.
Apart from the food, you will notice that the owner put a lot of heart into the store. You’ll find a lot of interesting things here and you can see some from my photos.
Give it a try. You’ll love it.
The exterior. It’s a brick building, not so different from its surrounding neighborhood except for the elegant entry way and tastefully designed signage, He 和. The name is pronounced “her” (with intonation goes as in “huh?”), and is a Chinese word that means “harmony”. The naming for a restaurant is unlike any other, in English and Chinese alike, and I applaud the owners for daring to be different. I like the concept and design.
The interior. On the other hand, the interior is somewhat incoherent: the classic crown moldings and door trims, the Avant-garde tables and chairs, and the interior walls sporting the old fashioned green devoid of any wall decors. This simply doesn’t work for me and is in stark contrast with the concept of “harmony”.
The service. You find any table you want and press the button on the table and the wait staff would come to take your order. What a concept! Our waitress was very friendly and almost over-the-top courteous. She took pride of the restaurant and their offerings. She described the background of various dishes in the menu, as if we’re in a tour. Orders were served rather quickly and our table was attended for our needs.
Cleanliness. On the other hand, the busboys were nowhere to be found. For the one hour and 15 minutes we spent in the restaurant, none of the tables were bused. In addition, grease spots were everywhere.
The food. There is no doubt that the restaurant features authentic Shaan’xi menu. While we were there, 95% of the customers were Chinese students from the nearby college! We ordered everything on the first page plus two others most of which I have not tried in all of the Chinese restaurants I’ve visited. There was a common theme among most dishes — overly savory and extremely oily. You will find any dish in the form of soup or sauce showing a layer of oil on the surface.
– Braised Pork Moburger $4. The pulled pork was too soupy, ruining the toasted buns and making it messy to eat.
– Cumin Beef Moburer $5. This is one of two dishes I would recommend. Beef was flavorful and the buns were toasty.
– Liang Pi $5.50. Allegedly taking 13 hours to make. It’s made of flour processed into gluten which is cut to cubes, and thick films which are cut to stripes. Together they are seasoned and flavored and served cold. It’s interesting at first, but then it became to salty to eat by itself.
– Sao Zi Noodle $8. The hand crafted noodle was too doughy for me. The serving was small. The soup was impossible to oily to drink.
– Chess Pancake $4. This is plain roasted dough, basically to be consumed with other dishes that are too savory. Came in 3 pieces. This was a rip-off.
– He Special Noodle $7. It uses the same hand crafted noodles as Sao Zi Noodle. Too doughy and bland – an exception to the common theme.
– Spicy Noodle Soup $6. This is the second of the two dishes I would recommend. It was a Sichuan dish based on glass noodles. The broth was sour and spicy. It was addicting.
I was thinking a 3 rating, but I am bumping it to 4 for being the only one of its kind in the area
