I was craving noodles and this spot popped up under Hot n New so I decided to check this place out with a couple of friends. I know that Szechuan restaurants tend to mainly have spicy dishes, so I enjoyed the fact that u can order mild to medium spicy level here.
They start out by giving everyone this drink which is Mung Bean Soup. According to the menu, when you eat something really spicy....this drink will help tame your taste buds....it really works and is refreshing (better than water, and Ill tell you why later). Our table ordered Spicy Black Fungus- great appitizer/side dish.
Spicy Radish- too hard, difficult to chew.
Chengdu Zajiang Noodles- dry noodles with egg and minced pork
Intestine Noodle Soup-different kinda flavor goin on here.
Steamed Egg with minced pork on side- delish and good amount for price.
Hot and Sour ChaoShou- broth was soo good!
Side of Spare Ribs- ehh plain.
As you know szechuan dishes are packed with flavor and spices and a little oily. As I am eating....Im thinking to myself my tongue feels weird. I told my friends that my tongue feels weird...maybe its oily.....oh wait it feels numb. For a second I thought I was allergic to something, but then my other friend said he felt the same thing hahahahah. I drank some water but that tasted weird as hell. I was like....why does the water taste funny. My other friend said their water tasted bomb. Then my other friend told me that sometimes szechuan food sometimes makes your tongue feel numb from all the spices. OHHH makes sense now! Here is when the Mung Bean Soup comes into play. I kept drinking that and it tasted pretty good to me since my taste buds were all outta wack. It tasted better than water! So thats my experience here. I dont know if I would purposely come back, but Im glad I got to try this place out. Staff is friendly, food comes out quick after ordering. Its located next to Tea Station. Parking can be difficult to find esp for dinner time or weekends.
