The restaurant is known for its exceptional Guilin noodles, which satisfy the cravings of those who have experienced the flavors of Guilin. Along with the noodles, the menu offers a wide variety of Guilin street food, catering to a diverse palate.

The noodles, including the rice noodle soup, are served quickly, often within two minutes of ordering, and come in good portion sizes at reasonable prices.
The establishment is praised for its cleanliness and cozy atmosphere, with friendly staff providing helpful service. The ordering process is a cafeteria-style system, where customers can enjoy a self-serve condiment bar with toppings like pickled veggies, mustard greens, spices, peanuts, fried soybeans, chili oil, and pickled bamboo, adding to the authentic experience. A favorite feature is the unlimited toppings bar, which enhances the meal and makes each visit enjoyable.
Popular dishes include the beef rolled pancake and Gui Lin rolls, often complemented by sweet soy milk or Tai tea. The restaurant can get busy, but the staff continuously bus tables and keep the place clean. While some items, like the cucumber salad, may not impress, the overall food quality remains high. On one occasion, an order mix-up led to customers receiving a free Chinese burrito, a rare and appreciated gesture. Overall, Old Gui Lin offers affordable, tasty food in a friendly, casual setting, making it a must-visit for those seeking a genuine Guilin culinary adventure.
