| - This place was good. The guys making the noodles are pretty awesome! To be honest, if I could give a 3 and a half star, I would, but I'm rounding up to a 4.
The food was pretty solid... we ordered the Pork and Cabbage Boiled Dumplings, Beef Pancake, Shang Beef Noodle Soup, and the Pork Belly Noodle Soup.
Everything seemed like it was made with great, fresh ingredients! They didn't do anything "wrong" per se. Unfortunately for us, the taste was a little less flavorful for our liking. Even when dipping the dumplings in the sauce they provided, which was a nice sesame oil mixture with maybe shoyu or soy sauce. Are we too used to super salty foods now???
I do tend to like more bland food, and my husband likes more salty food, but even for me, I thought the food was .... okay.
We liked the pork belly noodle soup better than the shang beef noodle soup, because the broth was a little more flavorful, and the fattiness of the pork belly really made the bites taste good. Also, the way the Bok Choy was cooked perfectly, they had a nice crisp to them.
I personally liked the chewiness of the hand pulled noodles, and my husband liked the size of the hand shaved noodles. The other reviewers were correct that you should be careful biting into the beef pancakes, my husband took a bite and the juice squirted across the table onto me! Good thing I was wearing black. I suggest taking a small bite out of the skin, and then when taking the next bite making sure to close your lips over the pancake so that if it does squirt, it'll hopefully squirt into your mouth and not across the table lol. My husband ended up using a napkin to cover his pancake so that it would squirt onto the napkin and not across the table.
