I had the hot oil noodle (+ bean paste w/ pork). They weren’t kidding when they said there was oil - the whole thing was basically soaked in oil which made it taste great (but I also got full pretty quickly). The ordering process was cool, we placed them online. I was served pretty quickly, but the same cannot be said for my other friend, who waited 25+ minutes for fried rice… he mentioned he could have made it himself in the same timeframe ?. Overall, good!

Came on a Friday night. You scan a QR code and order on your phone. It's nice and easy esp for people who don't speak Mandarin.Had biang biang noodles with added mince pork, and also cold pigear salad.Noodles were pretty good, esp with the mince pork. The pig ear salad wasn't my fave, but my husband liked it.Soymilk was nice and refreshing too.

The food was delicious, so I was surprised there were so few people there at lunch. Even for dine in, you order everything from your phone from QR code at your table. Three of us got different noodle dishes. Great flavors, perfectly cooked noodles. Our picky eater got something that was shredded pork on a bun and was quite satisfied.

Food was so so good. You scan the QR code at the table and order through your phone. My mom got noodles in hot oil and it was so so fire. The cucumber salad was also really good.

The hand pulled noodle texture was fabulous. Lamb noodle soup had a nice light broth. Spicy seafood hotpot was pretty good, shrimp were overcooked. Service was fairly prompt.

We went to this place because Red pepper was closed and Little duck was too busy.Food and service was ok, only dish I really enjoyed was the a choy (chinese lettuce) with garlic sauce so we took most the food to the hotel and left it there when we were on the way home.

Excellent, really great good!

Got the braised beef brisket w/ Mapo Tofu. Never had anything like it before but it was incredible, if we come back I’ll get a side of rice next time too. Good service as well!

Had the hand ripped noodles and lamb skewers here. Lamb skewers were amazing and I highly recommend them. Nice size for snacking, balanced fat content, and great seasoning. Noodles were quite good as well, but I have had better in Seattle. Perhaps it’s a small point but I wish they had better dishes. The light, plastic bowls and cups feel a bit cheap and bring down the taste. Especially for beer, I really prefer to have a real glass.

We were really happy with the quality of the food and service here. You order or request service from your phone and pay the normal way. Our cold appetizer came out within 30 seconds, i swear. The wide noodle and stir fry noodle were both wonderful. Not too spicy, but not too mild. We got chili oil sauce on the side, just in case we wanted an extra spicy bite. They lamb skewers are a must-order. Small amounts of meat and lots of spices grilled just right. We will go again soon!
