I ordered the Mapo Tofu. Full of flavor and spicy! This is one of the best vegan meals I’ve ever had. I took a photo of what’s left in the dish. Delicious!!!

The best spicy food in the area. Get the dan dan noodles, they're amazing.

Wow, that was really good. Mostly a take-out place, the delicious smell as you enter hooks you. I had dan dan noodles and cucumber salad, and was very pleased by both.

We tried their mapo ? While definitely had potential, it was underwhelming. The biggest problem was that another item on their menu was something fishy and you could taste it on the hotdogs.

If you like the taste of ocean with your hotdog than this is a hit.

If not, I'd pass.

Good flavored fried rice, but I would have preferred a not-so-crusty rice

It is spicy! But the flavor is incredible! I haven’t had authentic cold noodles since I moved back from LA and I was over the moon happy with my order.

super good! partner and I got the smashed cukes, spicy cold noodles, and mapo tofu and all were really really tasty
I loved how mild and sesame-forward the cold noodles were, especially compared to the mapo tofu that was super strongly seasoned, spicy, and salty
only thing is I might get extra rice next time specifically for the mapo tofu; it's a lot! (in a good way, lots of tofu and a variety of amazing shrooms)
I have to come back eventually and try more + their food truck exclusives

Vegetarian options: mapo tofu is actually vegan! lots of options for tofu in place of chicken or pork

Little well managed spot for authentic South East Asian cuisine.
A little too spicy for our taste. If you are into spicy food, that's your place.

You can dine in outside.

Traverse City is the Land of Bland, so thank goodness Crocodile Palace has come to the rescue! Delicious food with fresh ingredients and you can get it spicy ?
I would have taken a picture but I was busy eating.
