| - Came here for dinner and was impressed by the decor and large window into the kitchen where you can see the cooks hand pulling noodles. It's definitely a fun atmosphere in here.
For food we had the zha jiang mien, potstickers, chicken mushroom pancake, spicy wontons, and wonton soup.
Zha jiang mien is the inspiration for spaghetti with meat sauce, which was brought back to Italy from China a long time ago. It's noodles with a meat sauce and fresh veggies. The noodles are nice and chewy, and the vegetables add a crisp bite, but the meat sauce is underwhelming. To be fair, the only such sauce that I loved was actually in China. For the flavor of the sauce, it's fairly similar to straight hoisin. If you love hoisin, get this, otherwise skip it.
The potstickers were alright. They were crisp on the outside and juicy inside, but again, not much flavor.
The chicken mushroom pancakes were advertised as having mushrooms, oyster, and more. But I struggled to taste or see anything inside but ground chicken. The pancake was crispy on the outside, and the flavor was ok, but I was hoping for more variety rather than all chicken.
The spicy wontons had a slight kick to them, but they were all skin. There was almost no meat inside. I wouldn't order these again.
Finally, the wonton soup was good. The broth was satisfying, and the wontons were stuffed with a little more meat than the spicy wontons. This was the best dish we ordered, but it still isn't among the best wonton soups in the area. That being said, I would order this again.
I say come here for a fun eating experience, but make sure you order their noodle dishes rather than the other sides and entrees.
