Serious Hygiene Issue.The spoons are filthy. You can see and feel the grease on the bottom. We asked them to get a different spoon, and the new one was still dirty with brownish stains are the rim.At the end a dead maggot floated up from the soups.I’ll fine a complaint on BBB.
One of most authentic guilin rice noodle in bay area
Change my review from 5 to 3. The quality of the noodles declined past year. So sad, it was my favorite place.
Genuine Guilin style noodles. The menu is mostly about noodles. A little pricey but tastes good. Service is good too.
Two of us ordered classic rice noodle soup recently. Same as the many times when we've ate previously at this location. Waited about 15 minutes. Unfortunately we were served the wrong noodles. The staff offered a solution, sort of. They'd make the right order...for one of us...claiming it was partially our fault. We held firm but still the staff couldn't see in him to make the customer happy in this situation. We refused and left without eating. Don't see any reason to return here.
Very different. I liked the selection of noodle dishes.
Maybe the best kept secret of Chinese cuisine, Guilin noodles hail all the way from the Qin Dynasty over 2,000 years ago in the Guangxi Province. The secret is a delicate broth combined with rice noodles (that means gluten free folks!) that feel almost like udon and will stalk your dreams. There are only two Guilin noodle joints in the Bay that I know of, so tuck in for the Chinese ramen-take-down and don't forget to hone your chopstick skills on some of those peanuts.
We were seated almost immediately at the half full/empty restaurant when we arrived. We figured it might take a little while for the food so the wife decided to go next door for grocery shopping while the husband waited for a server to take the order. 25 minutes later the wife came back and was told a server just took the order. They were not busy at all. The employees were just standing around the bar and talking. Then we had to wait for another 20 minutes before the noodles arrived. The food was OK, nothing special we can rave about. You have to pay cash at the counter. There was absolutely no service to speak of. If you don't mind about service, have cash at hand and don't mind waiting over half an hour for some simple noodle soup, go ahead. For us, service is as important as the food itself. I am sure we can find a better place to spend our money.
It was a nice and simple place. All the food on the menu looks really good. I wanted to try them all. Authentic food with a really good price. We are looking forward to go back again.
