We went on a Saturday at 3pm. Service was very friendly and attentive. Food came out fast.
We had the Dan Dan noodles with extra beef, shrimp fried rice, sesame noodles with pork, and pan fried dumplings. Dan Dan noodles & fried rice were amazing. Sesame noodles were alright and dumplings were pretty good. Would 100% come back for the noodles and fried rice, super yummy. Would recommend!

=== Mostly highs but a low ===
++ On a busy night, seated immediately with no reservations. Huge win.
+ Dan Mien with short ribs was good. Noodles were chewy, beef was well seasoned.
- Sesame noodles were terrible. Texture was similar to plaster of paris and taste was off. It could be that I'm used to toasted sesame oil and this was just (untoasted?) sesame.
+ Pan-friend dumplings were tasty. Texture was great -- love crispy exteriors and soft interiors.
