| - **Summary**
- Decor - I really like the modern Asian feel. The fact you can see the chefs through the glass is pretty cool. Especially when they are making noodles.
- Service - Perhaps, my experience is the outlyer, but I had the worst display of service in my life from this restaurant.
- Noodles - It's awesome to watch them make it, but the noodles had very little taste. It's a great gimmick, but poor execution.
**Ordered**
- $6 Spicy Pork Wonton - Salty, but good.
- $8 Beef Brisket w/ Tomato Noodle Soup - Beef was tender, but a bit salty. The noodles in the broth had a little flavor, but were mostly tasteless.
- $8 Braised Pork & Egg - Pork belly was also a bit salty, but very good. Fork tender and bursting with flavor. Unfortunately, the lack of broth had these noodles even more tasteless than the one with the broth. Such a let down.
**Story**
Seeing a new authentic noodle place near our house, my wife and I were ecstatic and had high hopes. We were seated by the bar with a great view of the chefs making the noodles. When the waitress came, my wife ordered in Mandarin. On to my turn, I asked her her opinion, in English, on two of the menu items. Her response was to speak to my wife in Mandarin, totally ignoring me. Come to find out, she didn't even talk about either of my items. I ordered without her recommendation. About 10 minutes later, a couple sat down to the right of us at the bar. Another 20 minutes later, they were getting their food and we hadn't even gotten our water.
My wife asked the waitress about it, and they eventually figured out they had lost our order. We ordered again. The whole time the waitress had a scowl like it was our fault the order was lost. I asked her for water as she was leaving only to be responded with another scowl and an "I know!" The appetizer and my Braised Pork came at the same time. 10 minutes later, the Beef and Brisket...sigh. I had ordered hand cut noodles with my pork, but instead, got pulled noodles. At that point, I just wanted to eat. My wife mentioned it to the other male waiter, but I said it was fine. Half way through our meal, the waitress comes back and drops a Braised Pork & Egg with cut noodles on the table, like she was dropping off scraps for a dog, saying something in Mandarin to the translation of , "here, this is free." I was lucky I didn't get the noodle soup or I would be wearing some of my dinner. I have not felt this disrespected from a restaurant in my entire life, so I let my correct order sit untouched. This was also the very first time in my life, I've left a tip of zero.
Later, another waitress came over and apologized. When I commented about the first waitress, she told us she was the owner. It makes perfect sense now. She was probably filling in for someone else and felt she was above treating her patrons with respect.
**Recommendations**
- I'm torn. Food wise, the meat is great, but the noodles are just tasteless carbs. However, the terrible service and experience I had, would lead me to recommend you going to China town. Though most authentic Chinese restaurants aren't known for their service, they're leaps and bounds above this one.
