I think part of the reason why the rating for this restaurant is so low is because people have too high of an expectation for it. After reading the reviews, I knew I should avoid the ramen so I made sure I didn't get it (even though I was really tempted!).
I got the pork buns (with hoisin, scallion, cucumber) which were delicious! I'm definitely trying the chicken buns the next time I visit. It was $10 for 2 which is pricy but totally worth it in m opinion. As a matter of fact, I want a whole plate of it to myself the next time.
The roasted rice cakes (red chili, onion, sesame) ($11) were a bit too hard. The sweet and sour sauce was good but I wish it was softer. This dish was not spicy at all which was great because the main dish I shared with my friend was a bit hot for me.
We got the chilled spicy noodles (sichuan sausage, spinach, cashews) ($14). This was good! I'm the type of person who pretends to be able to eat spicy but really can't handle it. This dish just reached my limit for spiciness.
Went to the restaurant on Saturday for lunch and there was no line up at all. Service was good too.
