| - Alright folks, this is my 3rd review of the same place. I guess Yelp likes it more when people review different places since they don't count repeated reviews as "new". Today is Saturday and it was absolutely jam packed there. The only reason I got a seat right away was because I went my by myself and sat on one of the stools in between two other guys. Nonetheless, the food was very good and the service was average as well.
Let me first start off by saying if you are looking for a place that's quiet and serene and has excellent service, this is not the place to go because this is a Chinese restaurant. It is not the same as western restaurants. This is the nature of Chinese restaurants. It is rustic, noisy, loud, and the food is good! Or at least should be good!
I ordered the knife shaven noodles again today with BEEF not pork belly. The beef was good, and the noodles had a perfect texture once again. I like a place that is consistently good. The beef is braised, then chilled, then sliced into slices. Yes, it is still VERY tender and melt in your mouth even though it might look like it on the picture I took.
I also ordered one spicy lamb kabob. For those of you who are chinese, this is yang rou Chuar. I don't know how to write chinese so the best I can do for all of you is write pin yin. This kabob was good, for the price or 2.99 or 1.99 you get a good amount of perfectly seasoned hot lamb meat. Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, melt in your mouth. Thinking about this right now is making me salivating. The seasoning has a punch to it and is spicy do be careful! You might want a glass of water on the side just incase shit hits the fan. Also, the tofu kabobs are also the shit. They are beyond perfectly seasoned and cooker. Lightly crisped on the outside and lighter than a cloud inside. The seasoning is a mix of chilli peppers, cumin, black pepper, and hoisin sauce for the tofu. For the lamb there is no hoisin sauce, that ain't traditional.
This place continues to impress me and obviously I'm not the only one who thinks so because this place is constantly full on weekends and weekdays. The food is what matters and they are killing it. The price isn't bad also and it's in a very nice location.
Will be going back again soon!
