Reviews
Atmosphere
The food is AMAZING. The price is CHEAP.
The people are warm and welcoming and ofc a bit of a language barrier which is why you also know it’s authentic. Which is also why the naming of the food might not be how it’s made (like beef bimbambop is different from Korean)
Recs for food:
The side dishes is a must have for the seaweed and spicy pork and century egg!! Bamboo too is a classic and milk tea is great 🙂
They try out a lot of recipes so it can be a hit or miss on your taste buds to see what you like personally. But just because you tried one dish and it didn’t fit your pallet doesn’t mean the others aren’t absolutely amazing ya know?
I would recommend the noodles and the beef and ofc anything tomato since it’s amazing. And this beef pancake!!
Never got food poisoning here so that person must have an intolerance not known lol
Decorations resembling ancient Chinese noodle shop. Worth a visit.

Casual interior with a few decorations and a rather simple old-fashioned look. The ambience here is pretty calm, there’s not many customers even during the dinner hours. Overall an average environment.

— Dan Dan Noodle ($4.50): 3/5 —
Somewhat savory and tasty noodles, the minced pork and it’s sauce is lightly flavored, slightly salty, and not very spicy. Pretty average for a $5 bowl of noodles, the flavors weren’t really extraordinary in anyway, but the price + portion makes this pretty fair.
— Spicy Szechuan Noodle ($5.50): 2/5 —
When you think of Szechuan, you may think spicy, but what you’re really thinking of is a flavorful spicy… which in this case is not true. This dish is the opposite of flavorful, it’s flavorless! Lol, it’s spicy alright, but that’s basically all there is to it, maybe a tad bit of intestine flavor, but that isn’t what I’d look for in a Szechuan style dish. Either way, this dish was quite underwhelming in terms of flavor, but the price is good.
— Spicy Wonton ($4.50): 1/5 —
Ok, so the sauce in this is actually quite good, a nice flavorful spicy, but there’s a huge problem as well. The “wonton” skin they use in this dish is extremely thick and unsatisfying, not only is it starchy and flour-like, it is also 85% of the entire dish! Yes, there is only a puny piece of pork inside, and not only is it tiny, it was RAW! Straight up undercooked and had a stench to it, extremely unpleasant meal to finish when stuff like this happens. Other than that, I’d rate this dish as bad even if it was cooked correctly, cause the consistency is just awful all around, besides the sauce I suppose.
