Was staying at a nearby hotel for a week and decided to grab some takeaway. This place was nearby and seemed clean, white and bright in a somewhat well-worn part of town. The menu is vast, full of vibrant photos of dishes brimming with ingredients. So I ordered the spicy pork noodles, described as lean pork tossed with noodles, veggies, and a special hot sauce ($9.24).
When I got back to the hotel and sat down to chow down, I was disappointed to open up a somewhat small container of extremely thin noodles, tossed with very finely ground pork "granules," some occasional traces of thin sliced green onions and a few bits of white button mushrooms (boo - no shitake?).
Whomever designed this dish is decidedly a fan of minimalism. Well almost... hiding under and within my small toupee of hair-like noodles was a dozen or so chunks of semi-steamed tomatoes. Very blah in effort and not the least bit spicy.
Overall, it felt like a dish designed to imply volume but that skimps on everything but the cheapest ingredients. To top it off, they neglected to provide and napkins or utensils, so I had to eat with a plastic teaspoon that happened to be in the room. If near, skip it.
Ho-Lee-Bow-Wow.
