| - I went with a friend here based on the reviews and because I was craving milk tea.
We ordered:
1. Beef noodle soup - I guess they've changed things, since it looks nothing like the photos on Yelp. I wish I took a picture of it, but they're thin noodles (almost like spaghetti) and there's bok choy and cilantro. The braised beef was tender and flavorful. Overall, I actually liked this dish although the soup was a little watery. And I wasn't a huge fan of the noodles. But hey, I gotta give Cleveland some props for trying. This place is probably the best place for Taiwanese-style beef noodle soup in Cleveland.
2. Milk tea with boba - the tea flavor really comes through! Happy. My criticism of this was the boba. Half were appropriately chewy and the other half were a little hard. They need to stir the boba around more.
3. Pork chop with noodles - my friend and I did not expect this. Taiwanese style is usually deep fried pork chop with pickled mustard greens/veggies on the side. This was pan-fried over a bed of the same noodles used in the beef noodle soup. The vegetables were an assortment of sad-looking napa cabbage, carrots and mushrooms. Overall, the dish looked really unappealing. I didn't taste this.
4. Potstickers - again, it looked really unappealing. They looked like little fried nubs of dough. These tasted ok, but I can definitely make better. It confusedly came with broccoli on the side? I don't understand.
Disappointingly, when we got the bill, I found I had been charged $4.50 for the milk tea instead of $3.50. When I asked, the waiter had assumed I ordered the large instead of regular. Who does that?
Overall, this place is a hit or miss depending on what you order.
