This place was new so I gave it a try. The ambiance was okay for its size. I was surprised however that the place was spacious in the inside. Service was average for Chinatown. Okay now let's get to the food! Honestly the food was very average compared to any other place I've been too in Chinatown. The rabbit soup was the thing that I tried out because I never had rabbit before in my life. It was not my taste. The pork noodle was pretty salty with the pork fat. For the price I would have gone somewhere else. This place however could be an acquire taste. It seems like it has a place in the market. I just felt that the pork noodles and veggie noodles could have been better. One was very bland while the other was extremely salty. I'm just doing the rating base on food from other places I've been to locally. If you enjoy some simple dish either very bland or super salty, then this would be one of the places to go. I may come back again to maybe try some other dish. Then revisit the experience with some other dishes as a reset.

The noodles with pork are dry, the noodles in the soup are spoiled. It's not tasty. No drinks were offered.

The service was horrible however the food was okay. The attitude towards the customers were loud and obnoxious. I recommend this place for food however if you’re here for the experience then no!

My first time with Fujian/fuzhou cuisine. The restaurant is very simple, no frills and as homestyle as it gets. Dishes are served with disposable share plates and soup bowls. Sriracha (no chilli oil), vinegars and condiments are featured on the tables along with disposable soup ladles. The food arrives quickly, in very generous portions and even soup is enough to split among 3 people. Our group ordered a wonton soup, peanut noodles, water spinach w preserved bean curd, meifun w/ pork and vegetables and egg with razor clams. The egg dish was probably my favorite. It was basically a large egg omelette with generous helping of tender and sweet razor clams and cauliflower. The water spinach dish had some chrysanthemum greens although I wasn't sure if that was deliberate. Either way, the tangle of greens was delicious. The meifun was light and a perfectly cooked dish full of thinly sliced Napa cabbage and pork. Not greasy and perfectly seasoned. Actually, none of these dishes were oily. The peanut egg noodles were our least favorite. Not to say it wasn't good, just overshadowed by the other dishes. The wontons were light and delicate and broth was warm and comforting. Simple dishes,but we were plenty satisfied and very happy with our experience overall.

No frill restaurant. Amazing fried taro and fried dough. The crispiness is perfect, lightly brown. The goubian is delicious as well. I love the oyster with bean curd soup. So flavorful. I've tried the Fuzhou style spare ribs too. I haven't had anything I don't like. Very authentic Fuzhou food.

As a fuzhounese ABC this place brought back so many nostalgic memories of my childhood with no frills food, authentic flavors, and incredible prices. I could not recommend the fuzhounese noodles with yutiao and taro cake, mind it does run out by 1 PM most days. Other favorites include the vegetable mei fun and peanut noodles. Could not recommend more for all people!

There's a reason that this place went from a tiny hole in the wall to a bigger place & then to an even bigger place!
The price for rice dishes has become a rip off. I paid 8 dollars for a fish fillet rice dish with barely any fish in it and only two pieces of mushrooms.

This is my favorite spot in the whole wild world. I started coming here in high school with my friends and then routinely for the five years that followed after that. I go to school in Boston but I make sure that when I come back home this place is the first visit on my list and I spend much of my time away missing the food here too. The food here is amazing and it's something I don't think I could get ever get tired of. I've brought friends, new and old, and family here and it seriously never disappoints. If it's your first time I recommended Chow Mei Fun (I believe it's 136 or 137 on the menu). It's a yummy Angel Hair-like fried rice noodle with delicious vegetables, egg, and pork (but I usually go without the pork and it's still an amazing and vegetarian option). The Chow Fun Gan is also a crowd pleaser here if you prefer thicker noodles. This is a sit down spot that makes you feel taken care of and that if you frequent enough it'll start to feel like a second home, at least that's what it did for me.

Great Fujian restaurant tucked away on Division street. As I understand it, cuisine from this particular region is in the decline within the area but this remains as one of the great shining beacons of the food they enjoy. I had the lychee pork (amazing) and Fuzhou noodles. Both were great and it was entirely too much food that I happily devoured. I think the "over rice" food typically comes with some steamed veggies so that would be more than enough food but it's so cheap that i didn't mind indulging and supporting a fine local spot.

Great Fujian restaurant in the area. I had the lychee pork and Fuzhou noodles. Both were great flavor, served super quick, and extremely affordable. Get a table here and enjoy one of the last few Fujian spots in the area while people watching. Service was great, too.

I went there to grab a quick bite for my lunch break- fast service-the flat noodle soup tasted very authentic as I remember it from china.-good price
