| - "Vegas cold-weather season" hit suddenly so the family and I tried this new local shop to warm up. So excited to have a noodle shop similar to Shang but closer to home!
We tried the beef brisket with knife cut noodle and the fish with pickled vegetable and knife cut noodles.
Beef brisket: broth is ginger flavor forward, slightly floral and sweet. Overall good, but could have more depth of that beefy flavor. The knife cut noodles were fabulous, perfectly not-too-thin-not-too-thick. Meat was tasty, as well. Very filling on this cold night.
Fish & Pickled Veg Noodle: This one packs a good spicy kick. Loved, loved the spice level! Especially with the pickled vegetables cutting through the spiced broth. It's only missing some fresh thinly sliced cabbage or other fresh vegetable to add some texture. I noticed with the noodles, some were very thick and others more similar to the size of the noodles in the beef brisket bowl so their cook was inconsistent. Fish was tasty with all the broth flavor, but a little muddy on the finish.
The shop is small and steadily busy, yet tables were rotating at a good pace with no one left waiting too long to find their spot. Service was also good. For beverages, the hot spicy soup would be great washed down with a nice beer, so hopefully they'll add beer and wine to the menu eventually (soft drinks/teas/juices currently.)
Overall, solid dishes - more like 3.5 stars- and will be returning to try more.
