I used to love this restaurant. They used to have exceptional services and food; I used to bring all of my friends to the restaurant. However, when I was eating recently, I notice they started to force tips and their decrease in the service overall. The lady even said "In Boston you need at least 18% tips". I wonder if she has set that as the law for the restaurant, if this is the case then I will no longer going since I felt 0 welcoming and services on her. NEVER.

In terms of taste, if you want to eat some rice noodles in Allston, this restaurant is really good, right? After all, except for gringos who are curious about Chinese food culture and Chinese people who want a taste of homeland and have no choice but to come here to experience some delicious rice noodles, who would want to How about buying this order? The most intolerable thing is when I ask for a tip, I feel like I'm not getting enough and start saying, "Oh, our default minimum in Boston is 15%." Please learn how to tip. Tip is what I TIP YOU. How much I want to give you is my business as a customer. There is no such thing as a convention. I don’t know why I have the nerve to compare it to a barber shop. The barber shop washes and blows my hair and cuts my hair. Did you bring me tea and water and wait for me to eat? Of course, don't do that, it will only make me feel cold. Tipping culture is not a culture of asking for money. I want the money but I am not willing to imitate other Western restaurants to provide the same service. I said, how can you have the nerve to ask me for money? If you give a fake smile to a business person and say, "We have to give you a minimum of 15% here~", I'll feel a little chilly at most, but I'll let it go if I don't hit the smiling person. I understand, after all, in this cultural environment, I can't blame you. who? But slapping my face as if I owe you money, eh, eldest sister, who are you? Are you upset that I spent money to buy from you? Are you a very noble restaurant or am I a very cheap person? Still think that international students are so thin-skinned that they are easily intimidated, right? Well, it’s a pity that there is no Haidilao in Boston. In Vancouver, the tip for Haidilao is 10% (what you call a convention). Ask yourself whether your 15% and other people’s 10% are worthy. After reading the comments, you still have issues with food hygiene. Although it is indeed difficult to do the food industry here, since you have done it, I say you should take less chances. How can you account for even one of the food hygiene and service attitude? get out.

A party of 4 people, but they added tips of 18% without letting us know in advance. Be cautious when you eat in this restaurant next time.

Though it's a small restaurant, it's a pretty solid noodle spot with quick service. The noodle dishes here have some pretty tender meats and flavorful broths - but beware, some of the broths can get pretty spicy! (And speaking of hot foods, also be careful as the pot of broth you dump your noodles in is VERY HOT, with the broth still boiling as it arrives to your table.) As for the skewers, I got chicken gizzards (my personal favorite), fish balls, sausage, and beef/enoki... though the beef/enoki skewers felt a little lacking in flavor to me, at least when compared to the other skewers I ordered. All in all, would totally come back to this lil shop for more eats!

Just like their name, I got my food so quickly! A large stone bowl of rice noodles in heart warming broths for $12-15 is amazing‼ I loved trying this noodle spot on a cold day because the soups really warmed me up this winter. While I enjoyed the pork chop rice noodle's lighter broth, the kimchi beef rice noodle had the perfect balance of beef and spicy flavor for my preference Two skewers for $3 was also a steal too! The skewers all had the same spicy seasoning and I enjoyed the fish tofu skewers the most If you're in Chinatown and are craving some warm soup and noodles that taste like home, this is your spot!

Very good. Perfect amount of noodles and broth. We had the kimchi beef rice noodles and the spicy sirloin rice noodles. Both good and would recommend! Service was very quick.

If you put too much chicken essence or MSG in rice noodles, your mouth will be very dry after eating.The front desk has a bad attitude and makes people feel very uncomfortable?

The food is great! The chicken is made well, and the soup base for the noodles is delicious!
The best Yunnan rice noodle in boston ever. I really like the soup taste and the rice noodle texture. Allston’s store is very baby friendly, when I took my kid there, everyone is nice and the customer service makes me feel comfortable and cheerful. I would highly recommend the store to all of my friends who also like yunnan rice noodle.
