Dagu is where HOPO and Spicy Mafia resided. Their signature dish is their bridge noodles. This is where they give you a boiling pot of soup and give you all the ingredients on the side. Including noodles, beef, sausage, corn etc.
You might have to share tables at their tables are long and they might place people from different groups side by side at the same table.
I got the spicy original bridge noodle soup with extra beef. It took a longer time than expected but this might be because it takes a while to heat up the stone bowl.
I loved it except for a few things.
1. The ingredients seemed rather skimpy on portion.
2. When I ordered a refill for my noodles (unlimited yay!) it took SSOOOOOO long to come out so by that point I almost paid and left.
The pumpkin red bean cakes were good but not a must. My friend looooved her brown sugar dough (don't remember what it's called).
It seems like service is mostly mandarin speaking staff but they do have several who are proficient in English to help you understand the menu.
That being said the service was friendly but slow and forgetful. The food was good but could be better.
Definitely worth a try if you love carbs and looking for some hot soup in this ridiculous cold.
