“ Sneakily delicious! Every dish was tasty and brought home-cooked memories from my childhood and travels abroad. Textures were just right and complimented the flavors so well. Expect authentic flavors, not Westernized like most restaurants in the area. ”
“ This place is so so good. Ignore the 4.2 stars, this place is really delicious. The tables are a little dirty but the food is awesome. Also it's really cheap, around 10.5 dollars for a bowl of noodles. Tastes really authentic too! ”
“ I ordered the vegetarian dan dan noodles. They were superb. They came in a savory vegetarian broth with oil. I normally don’t like vegetarian dishes, but the flavor in the texture was so superior that I didn’t mind. Strongly recommended. ”
“ Love this place! Cozy atmosphere and good service. Food is tasty and portion sizes are solid. Definitely one of the top spots in the area!! Owner is very kind and the place is spotless. I’d recommend the beef rice bowl and dumplings. Support your local family owned businesses! ”
“ The food is quite good and affordable. I tried vegetarian mapo tofu and cucumber salad. They both were tasty. Mapo tofu didn't have enough of sichuan peppercorn based on my experience, but it wasn't bad at all. ”
“ Nice and savory, mostly-authentic soups and dumplings. I probably will come back and try the shortrib, that one sounds a little better. I got the Taiwanese beef soup and there wasn’t quite enough meat in there for me but the broth was delicious. The dumplings are just steamed. I prefer fried but ayoooo! ”
“ I work next to their old location. My coworkers and I are definitely sad that they moved to the hill. Today we went there for lunch. I ordered the wonton duck noodle soup. It was still as amazing as before. Their broth was so good. One of the few restaurants that I drink all of the broth. ”
“ The staff was extremely kind when I was asking about the menu. They pointed out the favorites and the differences from options in the menu. I ended up with the pork cabbage dumplings and they were fantastic. Best dumplings I have had in a long time and will 100% be coming back to try other things off the menu. ”
