My friend and I got their noodle soups and omg the portion sizes are SOOOO big and for so cheap less than $15! The broth was just right, it was not too salty or umami, and the pork ribs were tender and juicy. The noodles were fantastic as well. I would definitely come here again and the staff get to the point!

It's not a fancy looking place but it's clean. But what you need to know is that their Mapo Tofu is AMAZING. They use a firmer tofu than what we see in Manila, but it doesn't really matter. The taste is perfect. Spice level is mild, but we scraped off the dried chili on top for my mom. Eat it with the invisible scallion rice. It's Dr.Seuss green egg fried rice. I'm slightly surprised that the rating here isn't higher. Will definitely be back to try...
