| - Decent Chinese ramen place. Calling it ramen I suppose is a bit misleading because people tend to associate that with Japanese ramen, but whatever. The food's decent and reasonably priced, making this place a winner in my books.
The more popular items here would be the beef, brisket, or duck noodles I'd reckon. They also have a luwei noodle, and grilled chicken or veggie noodles for those who don't want the red meat. I'd say for a noodle shop you have a decent enough variety on the menu to have most dietary preferences covered, so kudos to them. My companions also tried the dumplings and lamb kebabs and enjoyed them quite a bit.
It's interesting when you get to watch them hand-pull the noodles, which is a part of the whole experience. The noodles are cooked quite nicely with a distinctive flavour and texture. Personally, I'd prefer if there was just a little bit more elasticity/firmness to the noodles, but no biggie. The broth is also quite flavourful as well (but I'm not sure what exactly it's made with as they don't seem to identify the stock used).
It's a well priced meal and the serving sizes are quite decent for what you're paying. Service is efficient and friendly enough; the servers we had all spoke English just fine. The restaurant is rather tight as you might expect for this area and they've done their best to fit as much seating as they reasonably could in here. If you're seated near the front of the restaurant, be prepared to have to deal with the noise of the person slapping the noodle dough all over the place. Even though it's the winter, the restaurant was very warm and rather stuffy inside, making me question how (un)comfortable it could potentially be in the summer.
