| - Pleasantly surprised today on my first visit! Walking in, the place is clean, but appears a bit drabby and tired looking. But the quality of the noodles is fantastic.
The menu is extensive. In addition to those signature noodles, there is the usual Chinese fare of stir fry beef, chicken, pork, or seafood with the various permutation of sauces.
We tried the beef brisket hand pulled noodle soup and the stir fry noodle with beef. The soup version is much better.
The texture of the noodle is absolutely perfect! Just the right amount of chewiness. The broth is not as salty as most Japanese Ramen joints. It is the perfect comfort food. They pull the noodle right after you order, which is as fresh as it gets. Reason I found out is because I asked to buy some uncooked noodles to take home. And the chef informed us that it has to get cooked as soon as he pulls it, otherwise it will clump together.
The stirfry noodle with beef was not as good as the noodle soup. It was incredibly greasy, even by any Chinese-stirfry standard. The beef they use is tough, though the thin cut, drenched in grease does lessen the perception of poor beef quality.
Each dish is $8 (for the large noodle soup, small is $7), and the portion size is huge. Each dish is guaranteed to feed your average 250Ib beefcake.
To summarize, amazing amazing noodle texture in a lovely comfort-bowl soup, cheap, large portions. Greasy stirfry with poor quality beef.
