| - I feel like I have to put an obligatory "I grew up in the SGV" where all the Asians in SoCal live, so I've grown up eating this kind of stuff. Having said that, wow. I am blown away by the quality of food here; I didn't think Vegas had it in them for quality Chinese noodles. Also, not going to lie--when I first saw non-Asian chefs behind the glass, my expectations dropped a little. But wow.
I went with two friends on Thursday night. The restaurant is minimalistic and clean. There is a bar area where you can watch the chefs pull/cut the noodles, and I would highly recommend that! Their water is cucumber infused and was a refreshing surprise. Sierra, the waitress, was very welcoming and made us feel right at home.
Between the three of us, we had the Shang Beef Noodle, Pork Belly Noodle, and Beef Shank Noodle. Of the three, the Shang Beef was definitely my favorite. The beef is so so so tender; the broth is so flavorful; and the noodles have just the right bite. Pork Belly Noodle was also great; the broth is similar to the Shang Beef. The Beef Shank Noodle has a clear broth--because of that, it is not as flavorful as the other two; it is tasty in its own way. Initially my knife cut noodles felt a little mushy/overcooked, but they definitely grew on me. In the future, I would order the hand pulled noodles for any soupy dishes.
For quality noodles, the price is just right. I'm going to come back for sure.
