| - I have my go-to ramen noodle, viet noodle and korean noodle places, but no Chinese noodle place downtown so I thought I give this place a try.
I read on the menu the option for noodle: rice noodle or noodle. When I asked the server what type of noodle is "noodle", she looked confused. I thought it was a silly question and expected a response like "oh, it's egg noodle, udon noodle or vermicelli." After providing her with examples like instant noodle or egg noodle, she responded egg noodle. I wasn't confident in her response so I just stuck with rice noodle. Afterwards, she was prompt in providing extra napkins and refilling our water when needed so that was nice.
As for the food, I order the marinated pork hock rice noodle. The dish was flavourful and the pork hock was nicely marinated. My main feedback is more meaty pieces for the pork hock and a better balance of the oil in the dish. I know pork hock can be oily and depends how you cook it, but the oil was very noticeably in the dish. It would probably be good for them to recommend a pu'er tea to help cleanse the system of the oil while eating.
Overall, it's not bad, but not amazing. I might go back to try their signature dish, but this place is not going on my go-to noodle list.
