| - My fiance and I stepped in, not expecting much. We were actually pretty skeptical because of the reviews. Also, because he's been to China Poblano and wasn't too happy with Jose Andres' take on Chinese food.
I would have to agree with most of the reviews here with the service being slow but, they just opened. We'll let that one slide this one time. We ordered the dan dan mien (for you koreans, ja jang myun) and was pleasantly surprised how tasty it was. It does have a kick but it was perfect for us. Not too heavily seasoned, not too spicy. I just wished the noodles had a chewier texture. We added our own twist to it as we added a bowl of rice and mixed the remaining meat sauce. We added a little more spice to it and it was delish!
We then got the Siu Mai platter which pretty much was a mixture of all their different flavors. It was perfectly steamed, flavorful, and was delicious. The shaved ice was another winner! We ordered the coconut ice, graham crackers, pineapple, condensed milk, and the chocolate balls. Yum! They use the same bowls you get from your noodles so imagine all that ice! It was a perfect end!
Go in, don't expect quick service, no expectations, and enjoy the food. Ask for the extra bowl of rice when you order the dan dan mien, order the shaved ice at the end of your meal and you will go home, a happy camper.
