| - My friend and I both ordered a large size of the beef noodle bowl, he went with medium wide (second largest size) noodles and I went with extreme wide noodles (largest size). The noodles themselves are really good, nice texture and it's really fun to select a specific noodle size/type to go in you dish and know it's freshly pulled to order. I found the extreme wide noodles very consistent and slightly wider and thicker than the medium wide, which was thinner and silkier. The medium wide also didn't seem as consistent as mine was but overall we both really liked the noodles here.
The soup itself is more of a bone broth type soup, so it's a bit plain, akin to soup a beef soup stock but with a bit more flavour. I personally really liked it since it's kind of like noodle soups my mom made growing up but I can see how some people would feel that it's a bit flat. It also comes with scallions, cilantro and desired spice level. The chili oil here is SO good. I added more to my soup since each table has a container of it. I liked the flavour of this lighter soup it come super hot so it was perfect for a cold day.
The noodles are topped with thinly sliced beef and a few slices of daikon radish. I really like beef and daikon together in general, I think it's such a classic soup combo. The beef itself was a bit disappointing though, the slices were a bit chewy and most often than not, dry tasting. I wish they'd have more tender beef. This is my main reason for marking my review lower.
Overall, I still liked my dish and it'll satisfy my noodle cravings. I would like to go back to try their pork sauce noodle though and maybe their weekend only brisket noodle soup, which I would hope is more tender and moist than their regular sliced beef.
