There’s a reason this place is always empty when you pass by—and you should keep walking too. The food is overly salty, served cold, and clearly not a priority for the owners, who seem to have completely checked out. While the service and ambiance are decent, the restaurant operates more like a fast-casual spot than a true sit-down dining experience, which might explain the lack of effort. Not worth your time or money.

The food was nothing like what I expected.
I am not sure if the noodle bowl was supposed to be ice cold but it sure was, the bao still had the wax paper sheet on the bottom like the ones in the frozen section at the store. The bao was absolutely not home-made and I have doubts about the noodles.
The place was understaffed, and one of the employees behind the counter was aggressively avoiding doing any work. The price was pretty low so maybe this is what to expect. If not, the owner needs to come visit this location and fix it.

I saw a bunch of bad reviews, but I couldn’t resist and ordered some Chinese food, specifically braised pork rice. Setting aside the taste, the rice was undercooked, not even properly done, and it tasted awful. I guess next time I really should listen to the advice.

I discovered this place a couple years ago. They moved to a bigger location recently. The braised beef soup noodle is amazing but hit or miss. It depends on who is serving it up. Three or four times I’ve had my four corners veggie addition forgotten and two times ago I had an inch less soup than I usually have. However, big however This last Wednesday night on September 25 whoever set this meal up did an amazing job. It was just perfect exactly as I ordered just what I wanted. Plenty of beef and noodles absolutely comfort food. Za Jiang too. Perfect. I hope it stays like this because it truly is comfort food

My table ordered four dishes. Three of us loved ours, one person said he wasn't a fan. The cook overheard and came over and offered to make him something else and gave a few recommendations. He was super nice and genuinely wanted everyone to be happy with their food. Amazing service, and my friend did end up loving the other dish (I believe it was called DanDan noodles). Absolutely recommend this place!

**15% service fee included** We enjoyed Zoe ma ma in boulder so we tried this place. When we first went into the store, every table was so dirty that we didn’t even want to put our phones on the table. We didn’t even put the silverware on the table and kept on each other’s plate. When we chose our menu and paid up front they didn’t even notice us about the 15% service fee and we didn’t see the sign that says 15% service fee. When we asked about it they just told us it was included. We ordered lu ro fan cold sesame noodle, Dan Dan mian and mama’s potstickers and Cha siu bao. Three main dishes were salty as other reviews but it seemed to be a normal saltiness for Chinese food. However the potstickers and cha siu bao was not even warm and the cha siu bao was rock hard that we had to struggle to split it in three pieces. I would really appreciate if they can at least serve a warm dumplings for 15% tip.

Best $10 lunch in downtown hands down. Dan dan and cool sesame noodle bowls are my favorite and the bao buns are great as well. Food is always super fresh and portion sizes are great.
Garbage. Salty. The service is good. The ambiance is good. The food sucks. It’s too salty.

Their food is generally tasty. How do you not have air conditioning on a day that it’s 98°? They left the door open and expected you to eat outside. Really?

Overrated. The store cannot afford to turn on AC, and everyone is just sweating. Food is far from authentic. I feel sorry for Denverites if this is the best you got.
