I came in on a Saturday night and the restaurant was around 2/3 full. We were able to be seated at the last table before having to go with the bar.
We ordered shang beef noodle, dandan noodle, tomato/egg rice and the beef potsticker.
Shang beef noodle was my favorite of the night. The soup had a lot of flavor and the meat tasted good. However it still didn't taste like the beef noodle that I used to have back in Taiwan.
Tomato egg rice tasted like any tomato egg rice you can make at home. But then I didn't expect much from it anyways because it's just stir-fried tomato and egg on top of steam rice with a side of veggie.
Beef potsicker had a nice presentation but the taste was very average.
On to the last item of the night which was dandan noodle. This tasted nothing like dandan noodle I have anywhere else and it was cold. At first we thought maybe they brought us the wrong item because the people making the noodles behind the clear glass and the waitresses were all non-Asians (I know this sounds horrible but can't help but being a little stereotypical here). But then the waitress ensured us that it WAS indeed dandan noodle. She was nice enough to offer a little sesame sauce on the side to go with it though. At the end when I went to the bathroom I overheard the two 'chefs' talking to each other in Mandarin. This made them screwing up the taste of dandan noodle unforgiving to me.
Overall I didn't enjoy the food as much as I thought I would. I think I was hyped up by the reviews too much before coming in so expectation was too high. However I did really like their interior decor and how you can see they're making noodle. It is kinda like teppanyaki without people spitting over your food.
