Dropped by over the weekend for dinner. The place wasn't crowded, but did have a few tables filled.
The service was good and we were checked on often during out stay. We ordered the tripe and scallion pan cakes as the appitizer. They were both okay. The main course was the spare rib / rice clay pot. It came out hot and was hot enough to give the rice a crispy texture. The flavors were spot on.
Definitely going to try again

My daughter and I really enjoyed the beef stir fry udon noodles and scallion pancake. Tonkotsu ramen is also delicious! It's affordable, the place is really clean and the service is delightful. We'll definitely come back again..

Funnily I learned about this place when I was looking for a late night grub only to learn that they were closed when I got there. At the time it was listed as 'Open 24 hours' on GMaps, but when I got there I was told they were closed for the day.
Fast forward a week, and the opening hours got updated (not sure if I contributed to this change lol). Second time's the charm, and the experience was a pleasant surprise. I didn't have super high expectations, thinking it was just another rice noodle shop which is a fairly played out concept in the bay at this point.
I ordered the dry-mixed rice noodles and the fried wings. I was pretty impressed with their spin on the rice noodles, with a spicy peanut-based sauce along with a trio of braised beef cuts (offal included). All the items tasted great and worked together, while also being a sizeable portion for the price (you never really know these days if you're going to get ripped off).
The wings were your standard battered and fried wings, but very well executed. I haven't had a fried wing this juicy in a minute. Moreover, one of the waiters came by at one point and offered a replacement serving since he thought the chicken wasn't fully cooked through. To be honest, I thought it was fine, but gave in to the friendly offer, and ended up stuffed beyond belief. The mayonnaise dipping sauce has a spin to it, not sure if it's condensed milk or something that's giving it a sweetness, but makes for a great pairing.
Hope they keep this up, and will be back.
TL;DR - Good food with a unique spin; nice staff and attentive service

Would not come back for the second time. Soup is too salty and greasy. Boneless fried chicken thighs feel like a strange hybrid — it’s not quite fried chicken, not quite chicken nuggets. Other places like Meet Rice Noodle in Fremont are way better. The place is new and clean but the food is disappointing.
