| - I'll start off with the restaurant itself. The decor is really nice and the place is clean when you walk in. There was a short wait for a table because there was a wedding reception going on. A little surprising, since the place is kind of small, but not a problem for us. However, they had "here comes the bride" playing on repeat throughout our entire experience. Not going to lie, that song started driving me nuts halfway through our meal.
The service here is kind of lacklustre. The wait staff are a bit mindless and won't bring you tea or anything unless you ask. They just hand in your order, bring your food, then bring you the bill. Anything else you will need to flag them down for.
We had the Chinese bun skewer, Chinese cabbage skewer, bull frogs legs and biang biang noodles. The cabbage and bun are slathered in this salty sauce which makes it tasty, but the frogs legs need a lot of work. I was really curious to know what they taste like since everyone always says they taste like chicken. They did not, they have the consistency of chicken but taste more like fish. The legs were crispy, and the inside was juicy, but they needed a lot more seasoning. The inside is really bland and the outside needed some salt.
The hand pulled noodles are thick, bouncy and chewy. Probably the most redeeming quality of this place. But even though the noodles were good, it was a turn off to see so much oil slathered on. Since the menu has no pictures, we chose the biang biang based on the server's recommendation. I would come back here to try other things, but probably not if there's another wedding reception going on.
