Today was my first time here at this restaurant and it was amazing. I literally took my time eating this because I didn’t want it to finish so soon lols.
I highly recommend this restaurant. Bring your friends, aunty, uncle, dad and everyone here. You will not be disappointed❤️

-I made a pick up reservation just to save time if it was crowded which was way easier, but you can also walk in.
There was a 20% surcharge added that when I asked the staff couldn’t tell me what it was either.
The noodles were very thin and soft, with no chew at all. Honestly, even basic ramen has more bounce. The broth looked dark and full of promise, but the flavor never showed up. The beef slices looked thick, but tasted like…nothing. Let’s just say it was beef without a soul. The cabbage was no help either—completely bland, floating there with a quiet sense of despair.
At $12, the portion was also on the small side. For many people, one bowl of noodle soup probably wouldn’t be enough to feel satisfied.
Sure, $12 for beef noodle soup near Times Square sounds like a deal. But to me, a low price doesn’t excuse poor quality. The food did come out quickly, and being self-service means no tipping worries. Also worth mentioning: many of the “good reviews” are false—they hand out free popcorn chicken if you leave a positive review.
The portions are generous, the flavors authentic, and the atmosphere is cozy. Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to whenever I’m craving noodles and hearty dishes. Highly recommend!
I’m writing this review in the restaurant, as I was asked to put my review in before I left, as I recieved a FREE Popcorn Chicken.
Here is my opinion on the dishes I tried today, rated from Top choices to lowest
1)The Spring Rolls are amazing, beautifully executed, with a delicious wrapper, evey unique
2)The Bao (2pcs) The Pork belly in here is soft and tender, in soft and pillowy baos, wish there was more sauce inside
3)The Fried Squid was well cooked, tender and crispy at the same time. Some pieces were stuck together, so it was clumsy and soggy, and quite greasy. Yet still delicious
4)The Popcorn chicken was nothing special, wish it had some fried basil like the usual Taiwanese restaurants
5)The Bam Bam Noodles with Pork, and I added Mushrooms, didn’t have much flavor, the sesame oil is over powering, and there was not enough salt.
Also they have a sign that says they accept Ca$hApp, but then it didn’t work, so I had to change my method of payment.
Maybe asking for a review backfired, as the waitress persisted for a review, even coming to the table with food in her mouth, mastercating as she asked to leave a review once again.
