Following the advice of fellow yelpers, I decided to try this noodle place.
Seems like it's known for its noodle soups, so I decided to try the beef noodle with some tripe. First of all, I like that they separate the tendon from the meat on the menu - that means that when you buy the beef bowl, they don't give you any tendons and vice versa. I don't like it when you get the beef bowl and most of it is tendon. The meat itself was well marinated, and good star anise flavor. The broth was thick (i.e. not watered down) and dark brown - just the way I like it! It has a slightly sour tone, which might be from some pickled vegetables they add in. The tripe (cow stomach) was cooked very nicely - elastic without being too tough or chewy to bite through. The noodles are great too - bouncy doughy texture to it and absorbed some of the broth's taste.
Points for not charging extra for a to-go bowl! Service was quick.
BUT fyi - the prices have increased to about 7.50 for a small and 8.50 for a large.
