The staff seemed nice and friendly and the ambience was alright. However, the food was really disappointing in comparison. Their signature dish origination Yunnan rice noodle supposedly should have a really tasty and aromatic broth. And my expectation was amped up even more when the waiter encouraged me to drink more of the broth when this dish was served. The broth, altogether with the rice noodle dish turned out to be over salty and lacked complexity.
The real bummer was the beef shank slice appitizer: a total waste of $6.50. A handful of really small and thin slices, some five spice powder and two types of sauce was all there was to this dish. The beef was totally bland if you don't dip them in the sauce and tasted medicore even with sauce. And for the price, you really expect at least twice the amount of beef, especially when the restaurant serving it is surrounded by cheap yet good value eats in Chinatown.
Stay far far away. I would choose $19.99 AYCE hotpot next door over this any day.
