| - My friend has been in love with the dan dan mian at the place. Every time they've gone, I've always been too busy to go. I had a 2 hour break the other day, so I decided to try the place.
When I first entered, I was seated immediately. The girl asked me if I was ready to order (in Chinese), and I wasn't sure of what she said. When I called her over later on, she said I asked you if you were ready to order and you didn't say anything. Uh... ok... Anyways, their menu doesn't seem to have many options just a lot of noodles and broth dishes. It could also be that I wasn't looking very closely. I don't like peanuts so the dan dan mian wasn't a good option for me. I fell back to one of my favorites- beef noodle stew. The bowl is pretty big. It came with maybe 6 or 7 small pieces of beef. I'm used to huge chunks of beef, so it wasn't what I was expecting. There were many a few tiny pieces of vegetables. Maybe they just do things differently here. Since it wasn't what I was used to, I didn't really like it. The noodles were also different. They were white rice noodles (I believe), and they tasted overcooked. The broth was a bit watery. It did have the spicy flavor that I was used to, but it didn't taste that awesome to me.
They were pretty fast with serving my food as in I ordered, and they brought it out in less than 5 minutes. So the soup is probably pre-made, and perhaps the noodles were also pre-cooked and they heated them again? That could be why the noodles tasted overcooked. Other than taking my order and bringing my food out, the servers ignored me. Another gentleman gave me my bill and took payment. He must have noticed me getting antsy. I was going to go up to the counter and pay there, but he brought it to me.
The menu doesn't seem to have a lot of variety or food that I like. I don't know if I would go there again.
