| - Don't know the name fool you, this place is basically Deer Garden is disguise, lol.
Pros:
You pick what goes in your noodle
Staff are friendly
Cons:
Not as good as their Deer Garden counterpart
If you've been to Deer Garden, you have basically been here too. It's the exact same system here, right down to the menu. There are a few subtle differences here and there but it's pretty much the same menu you're dealing with.
If you've never been, here's the lowdown. You pick your broth, two toppings, type of noodle, an optional side and a drink (which they charge for here). I do like places that give you that much choice. It's $8.99 for the noodle plus any extras you may order.
I ordered my usual broth which is the Chao Chou dried fish and minced pork fish soup with "ramen noodles". My GF got the original fish soup with ho fun noodles. The orders come out pretty quickly. My "ramen noodles" were basically thicker rice nooldes which was a disappointment. I usually go with egg noodles and Deer Garden but they didn't have that here. The broth was also not as rich as Deer Garden's as well. My GF's fish soup was much better though not as rich as well. They do give you a lot of noodles here. You will be full at the end of your meal.
At Deer Garden, a hot drink comes with the noodles and you pay $1 extra for a cold drink. Here they charge you 75 cents for the hot drink and an extra $1.50 for cold. I know it's not the world, but it does effect you on whether you get the drink or not. This place is also a lot smaller. There are about 10-15 tables so if it's busy, expect to wait a little.
The service was the highlight of our meal. The staff were very friendly and patient. They interacted very well with our little one. She even gave thema high five on our way out which is crazy because she's usually very shy around new people now.
I know this review was more of a comparison to Deer Garden, but when you run the same model as them, there's no better way to review than a comparison. All in all, I think Deer Garden is better, but I won't fault anyone for coming here too.
