| - First of all, this place offers exceptional fresh pulled noodles and is definitely a must visit if you are in the area. However, this place isn't suitable for big groups chit chats or get-together, dates or long conversations especially when its get quite busy as this is really a tiny place. This restaurant is mainly for a QUICK BITE.. If you want to find a casual place to stay long and chit chat, may I suggest to go to a BTT place instead or to a restaurant nearby where it isn't as busy or occupied?
This place is small and so tiny regardless on how optimizing the restaurant is really trying to use all their available space. They currently have outside seating but when comes winter, the outside seatings will disappear.
Maximum seating minus outside seats 14 seats!
You can tell the restaurant really wants the business.. they would always have workers go outside if they see people standing outside hesitating or turn around thinking it was busy when patrons see a line-up at the door thinking it would be a long wait... so I am quite confused with the restaurant when they have tables sitting there for super long and chit chatting even when done eating. The restaurant does not seemed to make much of an effort to help the waiting patrons reduce the wait time. Papa chang used to do that .. but after a few complaints and some patrons got mad, they tell tables when done eating, please help us out as we have people waiting, even when tables asked for the bill, paid but yet, still stayed to chit chat. Papa chang is now quick at turning tables around and the wait time is barely 10 minutes for a table.
Getting back to this, I just came back from lunch and unfortunately it wasn't a good experience as I had wanted to be as me as my friend ended up waiting over 30 minutes for a table. My friend who initially was not in a hurry but with the long wait, ended being very strict on time as she had to go to the airport to pick up her sister later on after this lunch.
As we kept waiting, we noticed there was a group of 3 that were pretty much done (except for one girl who kept playing with her food) but still took their sweet time, They knew we were waiting for a long time but simply didn't care.. even after dropping not one or two but three hints in Cantonese and English, they still stuck on and just went on chit chatting about life in general. I mean really?? They were not in a hurry and were making plans to go elsewhere anyway to chat and yet refused to budge and leave.
We finally asked the staff if me and my friend could order first and split up and sit the tables with one tiny seat left while we wait for the group to clear out as it was obvious the group refused to budge and leave and also, our feet were getting really tired. At first the girl said no but after she checked with the big boss, they were able to accommodate and let us order first. ALLELUIA!!!
I always make the effort to try to move out of the way to another table or try to accommodate the restaurant especially when it becomes so busy and if there are people waiting or a big group who comes in and want to sit together. i know how hard it can be for a restaurant trying to survive and how frustrating it is to wait for 30 minutes +while standing... I guess that is the difference between me and others. I don't overstay my welcome.
Minus all that, I would recommend to go either during their non busy times or just get take out or go elsewhere if it is pretty busy unless u don't mind the long wait.
I recommend the big bowl of braised beef noodles, in which I chose the big thick freshly pulled noodles as it is my favourite of all noodles :) The braised beef was soft and tender and I wouldn't mind paying extra for the extra meat as that is how good it is and this has become my new favourite place for braised beef noodles.
I also got the spicy BBQ corn which I love because it is so gooey with the cheese and is a great addition as as a snack
I noticed a lot of people got the radish as a side dish but I didn't opt for that I am not crazy about it.
Me and my friend were done in 20 minutes for those wondering how long it took for us to be there and eat.. we were effective and ate fast as we saw more and more people waiting.
Overall, it is a must try minus the long wait. Go check it out :).
