I really wanted to like this place but it was disappointing on a few different levels. We walk in and right off the bat, all the tables are dirty before sitting down. None of the soups in the kiosk or on the sign have a description for what is in them. You have to go only off of the photo. Which is okay if you know what it is. And maybe this style of soup is familiar to you already. But there were slight variations of each dish in the photos but no description to explain what those differences were. You can remove cilantro and some other garnishes/toppings, but you won't know what exactly is in your food unless you can decipher everything in the picture. This is very bad for people with food sensitivities, allergies, or dietary restrictions. The staff was in the kitchen the entire time so there was no one to ask questions.
When we got our food, the spoons were missing and there were none in the utensil zone. The noodles tasted good but have a default level of spice at medium. There was no way to customize spice level when ordering. You can add chili oil afterwards to make it spicier but there wasn't a way to order items less spicy. As someone with IBS, this is a bummer. A few hours later I had major indigestion. At the end of our meal, we brought our bowls up to the bus station, which was overflowing with dishes and about to fall over. It was hard to get the attention of any staff to get a to-go container as well.
I think a lot of this would be passable if the noodles were cheap. There's nothing wrong with a hole in the wall restaurant with no frills and a small menu done well. But the food was not affordable and to pay $20 for a meal in a dirty dining area with no service wasn't great.

I stopped by this noodle house and it did not disappoint! I had the beef braised noodles and they were absolutely delicious — rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I tried a few other items as well and honestly, everything was spot on. The portions are generous, the flavors are bold, and you can tell they put a lot of care into their food. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere made the experience even better. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to and recommending to friends!

Great flavors and generous servings + lots of meat. A little expensive for a bowl of noodles imo but makes sense for the area. Will definitely be back!

The best beef rib soup ever!!!!!!

Self serve kiosk was simple and easy to use. The beef broth and noodles were good but the beef was stiff and hard.

Good upon initial bite, but MAN is the soup salty. My friend and I both had to dilute our beef noodle soup with a cup of water. Maybe we’ll come back and try the cold noodle instead.

Only the soup base is up to standard. The meat is not tender, and the noodles is not tasty. A bit disappointed after trying!

Kind of a hole in the wall sort of place. Highly recommend the beef noodle soup with fresh noodles is what we got. The noodles were chewy, soup was flavorful, and the herbs and cilantro helps cut through the fatty taste keeping it tasty bite after bite. Would definitely come here every so often since it's a simple classic favorite for myself. Only caveat is the place is on the smaller side.
In terms of ordering, it's a straightforward kiosk and you place your order at the machine. Nice and no fuss process to get your order or even order online for pickup. Great for introverts if you want something non-conversational.
If I remember correctly, bowl was about 17$ a bowl. Kind of normal in this day and age unfortunately, but still worth the price for me.
This is a nice noodle spot that’s definitely worth checking out. The bright orange exterior makes it easy to find, and the atmosphere inside is casual and welcoming. We ordered the beef ribs rice noodle, and it was pretty good—the meat was tender and the broth was full of rich, flavorful notes. I really enjoyed the overall taste and will definitely be coming back for more!

This is a place where you go in, order on a touchscreen, then wait for your order number to be called; self bus.
Absolutely delicious, highly recommend, some of the best noodles I've had. You don't adjust the spicyness of it as you order, rather they have ways to spice it up as much as you want at the counter, so don't let a lack of spicy options on the menu steer you away if that's what you're looking for.

Very good, opens early. Beef noodle was very meaty and had right amount of spice. Would come back again
