this place is banging! ...literally. figuratively and food-wise, meh.
I've long been attracted to this place for all the noise that it makes but only recently gave it a shot. the noodles in the DAN DAN NOODLES aren't nearly as "Q" (aka springy) as you'd expect from noodles freshly pulled and make the soup rather starchy. the nuttiness of the soup is unique and there's a little spicy oil but it's not a soup you feel compelled to slurp up.
I was also excited for the WONTONS in spicy oil, as I've rarely come across non-soup wontons. the filling reminded me of siu mai/shaomai filling -- hearty pork with a shrimpy taste. but the skin also lacked springiness and the sauce it was served in was too sweet for our liking.
this place is, however, good bang for your buck (har har) as a true Asian food court establishment should be, and each order comes with a cup of soy milk
