    Seems to me that inflation has hit this business. I've been coming here for about 4 years now, maybe even before the pandemic. And I come here for one to-go dish only: the spicy Dan Dan noodles. They're a delicious, fresh mix of pulled noodles with buts of zucchini and other tiny vegetables. They glisten from the various sauce mixtures. They hit with the spicy. For some reason there is no meat, however. Most Dan Dans have minced pork sausage. But I do not remember the noodles costing $15.99! I even mentioned this the other afternoon. I got a "well they've always been this price" reply. Not true at all. This dish used to be maybe $11.99 or $12.99. Anyways go out and try it. But bring extra cash.

    Great handpulled noodles at this hole in the wall. My daughter and I dropped in on a hot day after a nearby doctor's appointment. Even though there was no AC and the place was tiny, the spicy beef noodle soup and cold drinks you grab from the fridge yourself hit the spot. Service was quick and efficient. Would definitely come again. Slightly confusing flow on where to order and pay, the place is so tiny as weren't sure if we had to order and pay at the register or with a waiter at our table. And did I mention the lack of AC on a crazy hot day? Minus 1 star for those two things.

    The food was truly delicious! Order: H1. Spicy Cumin Lamb in Sauce, D2. Lamb Dumplings in Sauce, and S1. Spicy Cucumber Salad. Everything was fresh and amazing. By far the best dumplings and noodles I've tried. The spicy cucumber salad is spicy so ensure your spice tolerance is high. The cumin lamb in sauce is medium spice and the lamb dumplings as well. The sauces on both terrific! Overall the food was PHENOMENAL. I love the freshness and taste of everything. I love that they had beef and lamb options not too many vegetarian options but do have a few options. The service was great. Servers were attentive and helpful when asked about the menu. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu and recommended best items. Ambiance this place is small with limited tables. Definitely get there right when they open so you can have a table. The place did not have AC so it was extremely hot and the spice made it even hotter. That's about the only bad thing I have to say about the restaurant. Everything else was amazing. Definitely recommend!
