| - A very enjoyable addition to the dining scene in Squirrel Hill, which has now become the hub for Asian food in the city.
The room is very nice (although the tables are quite close to one another), and was quite busy when we were there. The hosts and waiters were very friendly, and came to see us a few times. You can see the staff make the noodles, which is worth watching.
The food is tasty. We had the beef tendons noodle soup - the broth was tasty. The tendons were fat - as they should - and very meaty. Not for every taste, but I liked it. The soup dumplings were good, although I have better ones.
The two appetizers - wood ears and tofu skin - and five spice eggplant, were fresh and light. We particularly enjoyed the tofu skin. A wonderful appetizer.
The food is a bit americanized - for instance, the szechuan dishes have the right taste, but are not very spicy. But in a good way: this is subtle and tasty.
Price-wise, this is also very reasonable. Be ready to wait, however.
