Customer Reviews
Very unassuming spot with friendly service and delicious food. Decent portion sizes as well. The tripe with peppers is absolutely delicious. I really like how the tripe is so thinly sliced. This is probably the only place that I have been to around here that does it like this. There is another dish with chicken and pickled veggies. It is so good. You also cannot go wrong with the mapo tofu. So flavorful and goes perfectly with a bowl of rice. Definitely recommend grabbing some food from here if you are in the area. Now for my standard comments. Location is small but clean if you want to grab a table or just do takeout. Parking is right out front but it is little tough especially when you have to back out into a busy street.
Who needs atmosphere? I think ethnic foods are always best in a hole in the wall place. The food is absolutely delicious. The 3 dishes I ordered exceeded my expectations. Flavors are different than any other authentic Chinese food I’ve eaten. This is a gem. Since I don’t know how to cook, or want to, I’ll be coming back to get my lunches for work everyday.
We first ordered the noodles on Doordash to try out some noodles, and were surprised to find every dish to be extremely tasty! We then decided to try out the place in-person, the portion is very reasonable, the noodle’s texture is chewy, and the seasoning hits the spot. The owner is also very friendly as she guided us through which dish she’d recommend me. The place is a bit small, but definitely very homey, authentic, and worth a try!
This is a mom and pop restaurant serving Xi’An cuisine. The exterior signage can’t be any bigger: with 4 big Chinese characters covering the entirety of each of the 4 glass panels. The interior is ad hoc at best. But the packing boxes piling up right besides the entrance is totally uncalled for. The lady owner greeted us and immediately advertised their presumably signature dishes: Steamed Cold Noodles (Liangpi 涼皮) $8.99 and Chinese Hamburgers (肉莢膜) $4.99. I normally don’t take recommendations because I am afraid they might be the leftovers restaurants want to get rid of fast, but I relented this time. I only had Liangpi once in my life and I really wanted some verification. And I’ve had their Chinese Hamburgers before and I knew they were decent. In addition, we added Beef with Spicy
it is so good it melts in your mouth. Everything it’s nice and juicy.
