I personally had a decent experience the first time and hope it's consistent when I go back. Quality and pricing were good. Agree with some other reviews that suggest giving the full asian spice treatment with ginger and 5-spice. Nice booths outdoors.

This is definitely one of our favorite places for noddles, you can ask for an extra side of noodles for free. Have tried two different noodle bowls and they are both delicious. The beef rib is definitely our favorite and I always add the hot chili to give it my own spice.

We got there 15 minutes before they closed and we're gonna leave because we didn't want to be rude, they were AMAZING and got us our dinner to go in less than 10 minutes and let us eat outside no problem. Always amazing food and service and one of my favorites to come to when I visit from San Antonio. Highly recommend this place.

Employees were polite and service was prompt, good was delicious, will definitely be returning ?
The food here does not miss. Absolutely loved the minced pork noodle bowl and soup dumplings. The service was quick and super kind, and consistently ensured we were content/didn't need anything else! Large portions and very fresh tasting. 4/5 because I got the Matcha boba, and it was not great. It tasted bitter and the actual boba tasted a bit off. It was also fairly cold in the building. Otherwise wonderful!

It is a nice little place to eat, nothing fancy as it is in a strip mall type place. Not too small but a comfortable space to have a quick good tastey meal. Generous portions, friendly service and very helpful with information about the food how spicey (or not) the food is. I have had a different meal each time I have been there and have yet to be disappointed with the food. Great service with great food. Always clean.

We tried the sesame noodle, chicken fried noodle and popcorn chicken. The only reason it has one star is because the popcorn chicken wasn't horrible. Why name your place noodle alley when all the noodle dishes was bad. Never again.

We came here to celebrate Lunar New year and we're surprised that it wasn't packed given that this place is so highly recommended! First of all, I loved the decor. And we ordered so much food for such a great price. My partner got the spicy minced pork noodle and the meat sauce was so flavorful and delicious. I got the braised short rib beef noodle soup and the broth was so rich and the meat was also fall off the bone delicious! The chili wontons were super flavorful, we really loved the chili oil with it. The soup dumplings were the soupiest I've ever had, and i was grateful it comes with the a big spoon for all the soup. The filling was a little bland unfortunately. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken was fried perfectly and had big juice pieces. I love that they also have chili pickled cucumbers out for free, they were also yummy! We also got the milk tea and Thai tea which wasn't too sweet and tasted great. We will definitely be back soon!

Best beef noodle soup I’ve had in the Austin area so far. The soup was rich and flavorful, the beef short rib was extremely tender and juicy, and the noodles were the perfect texture. My only comment was I wish there was some bok choy, but otherwise a great bowl of noodle soup.

It was our first time here. We got 2 different noodle dishes and karaage chicken. Everything was delicious. It's not very authentic, but tastes good!

My family and I really enjoy this restaurant. We usually go for the braised beef noodle soup and soup dumplings as they are the closest to authentic we have tried outside of Taiwan. Their shrimp and pork dumplings in spicy sauce are also delicious. We have never experienced bad or poor service as the staff have always been friendly to us. They also have a few other restaurants around the Austin area that are worth trying as well.
