The beef was all fat with little actual meat. The service seemed not to care very much. Rather dismal for what it cost

Real authentic Chinese food from southern China. The atmosphere also feels distinctively Chinese. A pleasant experience with comforting food. Highly recommend!

Food is great, service is fine, but the way to order food before getting a seat is disaster.
You’re not guaranteed to get a seat and people just fight for it. Yesterday we found a seat in front of us and someone just jump out from nowhere and claim they came first because there is a “line” and asked us to leave. We didn’t want to argue so we get to the “line and found another seat, then apparently there is a couple who was just looking at that spot came over and insulted us.
So some people think it’s global line and some others just look at whatever in front of them. But in the end, whoever yell at people and insult people gets the seat.
This is an extremely awful experience. I would not recommend dining here even though the food itself is delicious.

No-frills, fast-casual spot serving the best guilin rice noodles in this part of town. Most of the patrons were Chinese.
There’s a self-service bar of pickles, chilies and crispy toppings for your bowl of noodles or rice. Their specialty is the Guilin Rice noodles, which comes with sliced pork and crispy pork belly. It’s a delicious combinations of flavors and textures.
The ladies working behind the counter are very sweet and friendly. Mandarin and English speaking.
BONUS: no tipping here! You can eat well for around $16 and serving sizes are pretty generous.

Great experience overall. I cannot comment on the authenticity of the taste of Guilin noodles since the flavor is hard to mimic. As someone who grew up with eating all sort of rice noodles, I'd say this place is good enough, but definitely didn't fall in authentic Guilin noodle. I still give this place 5-star for the menu since they carry quite a bit of dishes and we had a great time here. This restaurant also did not enforce tips like many other chinese restaurants, which made the atmosphere even lovelier. This part is great, because we absolutely against those tip police in other chinese restaurants.
Would revisit this place if we ever travel down to Sac in the future.

This shop was busy when I came in for lunch on a weekday, but my food and drink came out quickly. I ordered the Gui Lin rice noodles and fruit tea. The bowl comes out plain, just meat and noodles with broth on the side, and you add as many toppings as you like. Their condiment bar has roasted peanuts and soybeans, pickled green beans and Chinese pickled cabbage, marinated radish, mild red peppers, chili oil, bamboo, cilantro, green onions, and vinegar. My neighbor at the table recommended I just add everything, and one of the employees kindly explained what each of the toppings were when I went up to the bar. The Gui Lin noodles come with crunchy, fatty fried pork pieces and a variety of other cuts that went nicely with the toppings, especially the pickles. The noodles were smooth and bouncy. The fruit tea was fresh, citrusy, and lightly sweet with bits of strawberry and pineapple, absolutely delicious.

We really enjoy the food here. We keep coming back for dine in and take out. Their broth is really good so we usually get the beef noodle soup, but we also love their beef roll. This is the perfect place to go for comfort food. I often crave it when I am feeling like I may get a cold.
Food was solid, but I though the rice noodles were a little too soft, and the self serve condiments and toppings should have had labels to be more user friendly.

I visited this restaurant twice during my trip to Tahoe with my mom last weekend. On Saturday, when we stopped by on our way there, the front desk staff were warm and welcoming, which left a good first impression.
However, when we stopped by again on Sunday around 5pm on our way back to the Bay Area, the experience was completely different. We only ordered one bowl of noodles since we weren’t very hungry, but when I asked several times for an extra large bowl to share, the front desk staff refused and eventually made up a reason that all the bowls were being washed. Her attitude was dismissive and disrespectful, which made us feel very uncomfortable.
This experience completely changed my impression of this place, and I don’t think I would recommend it to my friends anymore.

Great value. Best gui lin rice noodle I’ve had. Both the rice noodles and the free condiments taste good.
