Yeah, it's "authentic" chinese if you include the insects crawling around, the disposable cutlery and the poor service. I'm not sure why this place gets good reviews.. it's soooo dirty. And not dirty-authentic, and not even dirty-with-character. It is just plain dirty.
The food is average- it is definitely better than what you think woul come out from a basement place. And there is a damn charming old woman who makes hand-made noodles at the front. But I just can't imagine why you would decide to be a repeat customer at this place.
Definitely does not hold a candle to Asian Legend just a block away. And the prices aren't even dirt-cheap enough to justify going here.
