The noodle dish was superficially like chicken chow mein, except the vegetables were fresh flavorful and perfect textured-- just a bit of crunch, not soggy at all-- a great complement to the house made fresh noodles. The chop suey was a very healthy dose of assorted vegetables-- cabbage, Napa cabbage, carrot, snow peas, broccoli, etc with more thin sliced beef. A very satisfying, well-prepared, and wholesome meal. Fortune cookies and dinner mints to cap it off. Our server paid great attention to us, and we had a great experience start to finish.

The flavor was more similar to king pao chicken instead of black pepper. Chicken was pre fried and oil leaking into the rice. The satay noodle was also swimming in super salty sauce. We had to throw most of it away. I should have looked in Yelp before coming here. The food was so gross I didn't even take a pix before throwing into trash. I had a weird sense when I peaked into the kitchen and didn't see any Asians cooking. Should have listened to my gut!

Flavors just meld so well together. A full-bodied experience with every bite. We split a ramen because we wanted to save room for the rest of our food crawl. Ramen broth was silky, smooth, flavorful, creamy without cream. Exquisite. Reminds me of the ramen in Japan. We got an extra Ajitsuke Tamago (ramen egg) and I'm so glad we did! The egg was PERFECT, marinated beautifully and so jammy on the inside. I love bamboo in my ramen so also added this as a side. Noodle refills are only $2!! Fantastic. I dare say this was one of the best ramen experiences of my life. 5 STARS.

Paid parking was not too hard to find on the Main Street but during busy dining hours it might be difficult. We got seated right away at the bar since there were no tables open and the service was quick. Traditional Japanese style ambiance and even the bathroom had rounded Japanese bowl sink. As someone who doesn't have chicken broth (paitan style) ramen, I was really looking forward to the original ramen I ordered but I was a bit disappointed in the flavor profile of the dish. The ramen had both chasu and seaweed paired with thin round noodles. The broth was creamy and had a hint of chicken flavor but even adding several rounds of their soy sauce/salt seasoning they have on the side to adjust your broth to your liking-- I found that the richness of the soup was not what I had expected from the reviews that I read prior to coming here. Overall, a bit disappointed in the flavoring of the broth but maybe we came on an off day. I would be willing to give it a shot again in the future if I had ramen cravings and given that it was very affordable ($11-15 per bowl with tip), but I would probably opt to try another place first.

Fried noodle with pork - very very little pork. Very little veggies as well. The noodles were super chewy and texture was great. I assumed it would be similar to the taste of the shanghai fried thick noodle since it is also soy sauce based, but instead it was so bland. I would try cumin next time but am afraid it would be equally bland Dan dan noodles - also completely bland. Not peanutty, no spices. Pan fried dumplings - i love northern style dumplings because they have a thicker skin. Unfortunately the wrapping was not a dumpling wrapping. It was a bao wrapping - very similar to sheng jian bao. I did not expect 12 baos. The bottoms were also not crispy. I think next time I'd better go with boiled dumplings. The only thing I liked was the bounciness of the noodles. However, I can get that elsewhere like the biang biang noodles at crystal mall.
