We ordered takeouts on a Saturday and they were ready very quickly. I got the tomato beef clay pot rice noodle and the beef stew with cold rice noodles.Nice rice noodles, and nice lamb and beef on top. The homemade lamb and beef stew together with the soup are the souls.The normal spicy could be quite spicy though. I often order slight spicy just to be safe.The cold noodles are not cold though, but the soup is hot anyways.

We got the tomato fatty beef clay pot mifen, the house special beef noodle soup, and a spicy beef tendon cold dish. Meat portions were very generous, and the soup were alright, both were super spicy but I found the tomato one to be a bit bland. The beef tendon cold dish was really good, definitely the highlight of the meal.Overall decent spot if you’re feeling like getting mifen, nothing crazy, pretty good value.

This restaurant has really attentive service. One time we came in and found that the non-spicy broth still had a bit of pepperish spicy, the waiter immediately offered us another bowl of plain broth. The next time we were able to order noodles with plain broth to start with. Their food is authentic, delicious and reasonably priced.

Small, casual spot with a few outdoor tables. No wait for lunch on a Friday afternoon. Ordered the mutton mifen, and it was very authentic, similar to mifen I've had in Guizhou. They really nailed the mutton / very tender and flavorful.

I came here on a Friday night with just a 10 minute wait or so. There aren’t many indoor seats so it does take a while to get a spot if you come at 6 PM on a Friday night like we did.Good:I liked the servers they were really nice especially since we spoke Chinese and they came out with the food really really quickly we ordered and they got the beef noodle soup to us in about three minutes or something crazy so this place is super super good if you were in a rush and you want some warm noodle soup.Definitely props though to the waiter who gave us free duck heads to take home that definitely added a plus one to my experience.Bad:The only bad thing about this place is that the noodle soup is just average it is really warm it has a lot of stuff in it and it’s just a little bit spicy but other than that I thought that it wasn’t the best I’ve had before. The food is pretty oily and greasy so I didn’t feel that good eating it either.Overall I might come back but I do think that the noodle soup was a bit less stellar than some of the other options on Castro and I would probably wait to try out the rest before I came back here.

People go there for a bowl of rice noodle soup. But We like the 酱肉火烧 meat buns, 4 for ten dollars.

Ordered the sour & spicy rice noodle with lamp, with spicy soup base. Very tasteful! My dine-in experience is way much better than an earlier delivery exp! Yogurt(free for order $xx above dont remember the amount …) is awesome as well.

The mifen tastes great! Like the lamb and beef in it! Beef, lamb and mifen are tender!

Came here on a Tuesday night around 6 pm, was pretty busy, they were a little under staffed, but they are trying their best. The noodle is good, yogurt is also delicious.

Nice place for some comforting noodles. They have tasty cold dishes as well.
