Wife and I happen to be craving noodles after work. I remember coming to this resto years ago. I was hoping that the quality of the food hasn't changed. Glad I was right, food is still good. Portion size seems to have improved over the years in my absence.
We ordered the Pad Thai noodles and the Seafood Egg Meon Shrimp.
Service : relatively friendly staff. Seems that this is the first chinese resto and a noodle oriented place at that we have dined at, and I didn't see any chopsticks.
Food : 4/5
Pad thai, I'm not an expert on Pad thai, but we found the dish to be enjoyable. Tho the fresh ground peanuts were a tad on the salty side, nice chewy noodles and the dish was served hot. As for the Egg Meon Shrimp, the dish wasn't as hot (maybe it was cooked first) the tastes of seafood were really really subtle in this dish. The only items providing flavor for me, was the fish cake and the shrimps. Way too much sauce and since it was using ho fun noodles (flat rice noodles), they don't exactly soak up sauce very well.
Beverages :
Water situation : looks like they only offer tap water, bottled Dasani water is $1.54 a bottle.
Bottled drinks are $2 bux each + tax. Soft drinks in can are $1.37.
If your on a budget, I'd recommend bringing your own drinks, or stop at the Subway Sandwiches 2 doors to the left and refill a reusable bottle with cold water, I bought 3 cookies and refilled our 2 bottles with cold ice water
Method of payment : Cash & Debit, not sure on credit cards
Repeat visit : yes, there are few more dishes we are interested to taste. Sadly have to avoid the dishes with beef, due to beef being a gout trigger for me.
Update : May 10, 2018
Visited on May 9th, and the quality dropped and so did the portion size for what we ordered.
This time we ordered the Hong Kong noodles and special Sweet and Sour Pork chops w/steamed rice. Both dishes we requested without any bell peppers. They granted the request, but the portion size was way less than our previous visit.
The Hong Kong noodles were soooo soggy. 1/5 for the Hong Kong noodles on this visit. I'd give 3/5 for the Sweet and Sour pork chops w/rice.
There are still more noodle dishes we are interested in trying. Just skipping the ones with beef, due to beef being a gout trigger for me.
