Came in on Sunday night. No wait. Attentive service. We ordered the beef rib hand cut noodle soup which was delicious. Great spicy numbing flavor. Will definitely come back again.

Don't get me wrong, the food is good here. The noodles have a good texture, the soup hit the spot. However, the cons outweigh the pros so I had to lower my rating. Firstly, they don't give you water unless you ask for it. There was only one person working the front, so it was very hard to get his help. Secondly, we waited 20 minutes to get our orders in, and 30 to get our food. The table next to us ordered, ate, AND left before we even got our food. I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt and think it's because it was later at night so they were short staffed. I do appreciate the reasonable prices and the fact the iced tea is free. I'll have to try this place again during the day to see if there's differences.

Food The chongqing roast pork intestine soup was amazing. It had just the right amount of spice ( I got regular) and the hand mande noodles were a must have. Service The service was the most homey service I have ever experienced. Came in close to closing and the servers led us to seating very kindly. Ambiance is perfect for date spots!

We ordered takeout for family movie night. At home, we were dissapointed the two chicken dishes both had one small piece of chicken. If they were running out - better to tell us.

One of the best beef noodle/Chinese food places I've been to in a long time. I visited here with a friend recently and we were both amazed by the quality of food that we were presented with. The noodles were bouncy and chewy, the soup was hearty and flavorful, and the overall bowl did not lack meat or any other add ons. Food quality alone makes this place a 5 star instantly. Some last notes about the rest of the space. The restaurant is pretty spacious but definitely not large so definitely plan around that. Also, service wasn't the greatest but with food this good, that's a pass in my book. Come for the food, stay for the good vibes, and enjoy this amazing noodle place!

Finally got a chance to try this place and will be back to try other dishes. The house special beef rid noodle soup is delicious but the amount of noodle was minimum. The spicy chicken noodle soup is also tasty and had a good amount of noodle compared to the house special. The latter is a little oily so be prepared. The meal came with a house plum tea which works well with the dishes we had.

Great food and great service. Worth stopping for the house noodles. I could tell they were made fresh. Very tasty.

Came here with a group of friends. It's a small cozy restaurant, which had a few other parties but wasn't packed. There was some traditional Chinese decor around the space, although the artificial flowers and lighting felt slightly out of place. Here's what I ordered: Chongqing style roast beef mixian soup (normal spice): 3.5/5. I kind of got catfished by the menu since the picture looked like it had a lot of meat, but it just had a few pieces, which were pretty chewy instead of soft. The noodles were satisfying though, and it packed a decent spice level, but it was hard to taste anything aside from the spice. It was served piping hot in a clay pot. Stir-fried Yangzhou noodle: 4/5. Although we ordered this by mistake, it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Simple yet delicious stir-fried noodles. I wonder if any of the stir-fried noodles with meat are similar - if they're the same, then I would order that for sure. Pig feet: 4.5/5. Served with varying sizes of meat pieces, it had a skewer seasoning even though it's probably not being cooked on a skewer. It had soft, fatty meat that my boyfriend really enjoyed. We were also treated to complimentary plum juice, which was sweeter than expected, resembling iced tea more than sour plum. Service was commendable; extra napkins were provided without request, and the plum juice was refilled once. The other noodle dishes looked tempting, and I'd consider returning to try them or indulge in the stir-fried noodles/skewers if we get the craving.

Pretty spicy Chongqin-style street foods. Ordered the chicken rice combo. Expected the rice to be cooked directly inside a bamboo bucket, but it was not, as you can see in the picture. A small place and the service was slow at noon on a Monday.

one of my go to spots. i've been here so many times but always forget to take photos. their noodles are delicious, especially the noodle soups. they also have a house made green chili sauce which is super good. i typically get a knife cut beef noodle soup. a comfort meal that i keep coming back to. the restaurant staff is kind but the restaurant itself is a bit small

Spicy shredded pork was not very spicy even though I asked for very spicy. Also, the noodle were very soggy. The pork, shrimp, chives dumplings were ok.
