3.5/5
Came in at 1:30 on a weekday, there are a few customers there but definitely not busy. Open style kitchen looks clean and barely used.
Has a simple menu mostly covered with handwritten corrections. Majority of the dishes are lamb, which I kind of hesitated as I don't eat lamb.
Ordered
Tang's Beef Noodles (small - $8.50)
Was afraid the broth would be lamby but not at all. Not too salty as other reviewers said. The broth is dark colour, a bit greasy at the top but quite light in flavouring. Love the fresh chopped cilantro for burst of flavour. Beef is tender and flavourful but kind of cold when noodles were served. Broth was piping hot which warmed them up. Noodles seemed mass machine made even though the name of the restaurant advertises handmade noodles. Kind of misleading. Noodles were soft and not soggy.
Fried Pork Fillet (3 skewers for $4.99)
Not fried but is grilled pork skewers with cumin and chinese seasoning. Hot when served and meat was tender. Not too salty nor greasy.However, wondered how they served it so quickly since ordering - probably precooked then reheated. Otherwise good flavour and portion for price.
Definitely not as bad as I thought after reading the reviews.
Based on the menu they also serve hard chinese liquor (those 50-60% alc by volume ones) but didn't see any in the fridge.
Server seemed confused when I showed the Yelp checkin discount but the owner honoured it after checking with him. Apparently they don't offer the 10% discount anymore but said haven't removed it from Yelp yet
