The Chinese name of this restaurant means the king of noodle of western part of Hunan province. We tried their beef tendon rice noodle soup and stewed rib rice noodle soup. They were just OK but the slight sour taste of the soup was really not quite to our taste. And cleanliness can be improved.

The noodle soup was tasty, portion was good. The rice with beef I ordered didn’t taste fresh.
Food safety problem. I bought noodles yesterday from them. It wasn’t smelling good, after I ate it, I feel sick and have a stomachache. Don’t go and eat there.
Excellent. You may prepare cash if the amount is less than $35.

The food here is pretty good. The big problem is that the hours they are open are weird. One day they are only open for lunch, another day they are completely closed, and their hours are not posted anywhere online. You only find out when you get there.
Had the chicken pickled noodles. At first I was not sure what to get, but the employee (David) recommended this item. I loved it and it was my first time having a pickled noodles. The spice from the pickles was juicy and was a new experience for me. Loved it and highly recommend to my SPICE-lovers!
I came here with a friend, and had House Special Chili Sauce Noodle. To be very honest, for the asking price of $13, the portion size is very reasonable. It's a bit on the big size for a 5'11" 170lb guy, so that's pretty big. Unfortunately, the flavor was mediocre. I tried so hard to find the signature flavor, but it was mild. It wasn't spicy, it wasn't impactful, and it was slightly bland.
Decent noodles. Price for a pork bone soup noodle and a beef brisket noodle came to almost $30. This is for takeout. Quantity was generous. Taste was not bad. Apparently no msg. Boss lady had good service.

I did not know that this small restaurant was hiding right in the backyard. My daughter talked me into trying this place while I was craving for Korean food. I must say it was good decision. We tried few items and we loved every one of them. Spicy fried potatoes were instant hit. Hint of Sichuan peppers in every dish would make me want to visit this place again and again. Only thing that this place could do is better service. I don't think they are short staffed as they had only 2 tables full but our server chose to hide behind the counter and use his phone. We kept wondering someone would show face so that we could ask for hot oil or salt. Having said that, it won't keep me from visiting the place again. I look forward to bumping the rating to 5 stars as they have the potential and may be deserve it too.
If you are no stranger to Hunan rice noodles then you must've tried yum noodles in Cupertino - Hometown noodle is better than that. More variety of toppings, better broth flavor, and better price.
Got takeout from here, taste not so good. Disappointing as Yelp shows 4 stars.
I orderwd the beef brisket noodle today. The service and the soup are good but the beef is really dry... Maybe I'm just unlucky, but I may not visit again.
