Based off of other reviews and photos, I really anticipated on trying this place out. We came for a late lunch on my daughters second birthday as it is tradition to have noodles for "longevity". We were sat by the door which I didn't mind since all tables were full and with a toddler there was no way we could manage the bar. WRONG. At the time we were seated they were receiving shipment through the front door, so we caught a glimpse of cold air quiet frequently till they were done. The menus were just dropped in front of us, no welcome or explanation of the menu (I know it's noodles...who needs explanation...but I usually enjoy the nice welcome introductory when trying something new, it's like a bonding moment lol). Then shortly a slightly grumpy elder gentlemen approaches is and asks "are you ready?", we each order and he quickly walks away...soooooo no drinks? I mean I ordered soup but I would like a beverage please? As he comes back and drops off my soup I ask "can we order drinks?" So he takes my order for Lemon honey tea and turns around quickly before my husband can order lol. When he comes back to check if I wanted "Iced tea or boba" and clarify iced tea and quickly stop him to let my husband order a beverage too. At this time I think he finally understands how bad of service he is providing. While waiting the door flings open several times for remaining shipment, twice for the trash; I noticed the table across from me also annoyed by all this, like shouldn't all restaurants have back doors? How is this not against health code violations to be lugging piles of trash through a dinning area?!?! Anyways enough of the service rant, the food is what saves them and that's the main reason for this awesome app right? I opted for the Beef Brisket w/ tomato soup. Oh man! It was tender and flavorful! It wasn't spicy so I was more that doubtful to share with my little one. The noodles were not overdone and cooked al Dente for soup. My husband had a taste of my soup and admittedly wished he order the same. He had the homemade Zhu Jiong noodles which too was delicious with the right portions of noodles vs veggies and meat. By the time we were stuffed our left overs were still steaming hot. I will still come back even with my long rant and hope they improve in time...otherwise this could be my "dirty dining" spot, you know there is always that one place!
