This tiny restaurant is generally busy every time I've walked past it. This time, I managed to catch them 75% full and was able to snag a table before more people came.
Inside is small and cramped. The seats aren't the most comfortable either. This place is not meant for large or medium sized groups. Music was unnecessarily loud.
The artisan pork jia-mo is a pretty good starter. Thought the braised pork was done pretty well. The bread was nice and crunchy on the outside.
Braised boneless short rib noodles was pretty simple in that there is noodles, 4 braised short rib, and 2 Bok choys. The braised short rib was pretty soft, flavorful, and done well. But here are my 2 complaints. 1) broth was way too salty. 2) noodles were too wide. It was more like sheets rather than strands. I did have the choice between thick vs thin noodles, so I guess this is the thick version and my fault for choosing it. The noodles also stuck together and was hard to separate each "sheet" making it rather difficult to pick up and eat.
