Their noodles are freshly made, live, by a real noodle chef. It may look like a Japanese ramen place from outside, given all these shabby and confusing lanterns, but it is actually a really good Chinese noodle restaurant. My personal fav is pulled round noodles, either pan fried or in soups. The noodles are chewy and cooked perfectly. I would say their takeout is not as good as dine-in because the noodles are cooked a bit more being steamed in the container. So if you want to try, please come in-person. I hope this place is here to stay in this neighborhood for the long haul because it doesn't seem to have enough customers.

We ordered the braised beef noodle soup and Singapore laksa. Both were really delicious!! Good portion. The braised beef was super tender and the laksa was creamy.
Chill, after school hangout vibe type of place with the perfect bowl of comfort noodles. Brings memories of my high school days, but with much better noodles ? I’ve tried at least 8 diff dishes, and everyone of them have been good. Giant portions. This place is a neighbourhood gem!+ even after a year later, this place is the best in LIC! Love the added dimsum menus and being able to dine with my dog in the outdoor patio is amazing!
All I can say is wow! Behind an unassuming exterior is a noodle-lovers heaven. The inside of the restaurant makes you feel like you're eating inside a large mess hall or cafeteria decorated with Taiwanese night market vibes. They have so many kinds of noodles, both soups and pan fried, as well as many appetizers that reminded me of home. My fiance and I split the braised beef noodle soup, a pan-fried chicken noodle soup, and their salt and pepper chicken. The portions were huge, but we finished every last bit - it was that good! They have several options for noodle type, such as wide or round, but you can't really go wrong. Service was super efficient. Love this spot!

Would come again! Food (5/5) - A mean laksa with knife cut noodles, no notes. Got the lanzhou noodles with hand pulled noodles, non-spicy, broth was clear, not greasy. Fried wontons in chili oil were solid, chili oil is more pungent than spicy which I'm used to and prefer. Steamed custard buns were actually liquid on the inside which was very welcome. Price (4/5) - Pretty decent for NYC, ~15 for a bowl of noodles, sides / apps run 5-10. Ambiance and service (5/5) - Casual, brightly lit, has a cafeteria vibe or a much more spacious cha chaan teng (Canton eatery, staff speaks canto). Service was fast, place was clean, staff were really friendly.
Decent noodle place in LIC. Everything was served pretty fast and the portions were large. The cucumbers were refreshing and had a good crunch although it did not have a strong flavor. The soup was good and had alot of meat inside but the noodles were a little flavorless. The dandan noodles were also surprisingly bland but you could add soy sauce and chili oil from the table. That being said, it was still good for a quick affordable meal. My favorite thing was the Fried pumpkin with egg yolk. It was crispy, not too sweet with perfect salted egg yolk oozing out of each bite.

Excellent noodles and dim sum in LIC. So rare to find knife-sliced noodles and hand-pulled noodles, especially at this quality. If you like chewy noodles, the knife-sliced are a must-try. Dim sum is also consistently great, try the lotus leaf wrapped sticky rice. Hope this place stays open forever.

casual noodle spot with quite a big space and some bigger tables in the back (may be good for a group). came here for a quick dinner with some friends and we each got a bowl of noodles and three appetizers to share. there wasn't a wait and we got the food really good. I got the classic beef noodle soup and it's the exact taste I was hoping. will definitely come back when I'm in the area.

This is the spot where they crafted their noodles. I ordered Singaporean Laksa with knife cut noodles. Delicious!! They have other types to choose from, like rice to ramen... Etc.
