The name of this place cracks me up because noodles are pretty much all they have. But that's not a bad thing when they are this tasty. We had a group of 8 for lunch on Friday. There wasn't any wait staff to be found so we seated ourselves and found a QR code for ordering. Water was self serve from a pitcher at the table. Ordering was a little bit confusing as you needed to make sure to checkout properly after adding to the order and not all submit at once if you're doing individually. We weren't sure what type of noodles to get as there aren't any photos so went with the default "noodle" option. Some time later, the cook began delivering our food in batches. I think the cook was the only one working there as he took our payment at the end too. Half of us got the spicy braised beef noodle soup and one pork bone soup and the rest the snail soup. Everyone was very happy with their orders although some commented the medium spice level on the snail soup was too spicy so be advised. The mild level had my nose running. The snail soup broth had a subtle sweetness from the snails although you won't find any snails in the soup itself. Snail soup often comes with fermented bamboo shoots which makes it a bit funky smelling but they didn't include any here which was fine by me. The noodles were plentiful and the beef was very tender and pulled in chunks from a large piece. My friend got the chicken feet and it looked like it could be cooked longer for more fall apart tenderness.
This is one of the few places in DFW that make authentic Guilin mifen. They totally do it right so I don't have to make a trip to my hometown to get it. We came in on a Saturday afternoon around 2 PM. This place is like a hidden gem; the sign outside is super small and tucked in a corner where you don't expect to see a restaurant. It was pretty empty when we came in so there were plenty of seats available. There was a sign on the door in Chinese that roughly translates to "Please seat yourself and scan the QR code at your table to order. Pour water and get tableware yourself. Clean up after yourself by putting your tableware in the bin at the back. Tip is not recommended. Thank you and welcome." This place is super nostalgic for me - it reminds me of those mom & pop street noodle shops in China where everything is self-serve, you get these tiny cheap looking seats if you're lucky, and you can smell the toppings wafting over as you get close. The difference was that this place's menu, ordering, and payment system were all digital and the restaurant was bigger. The menu is available in Chinese, English, and Spanish. Everything from seating to water & utensils to noodle bowl toppings to cleanup is self-serve. We scanned the QR code at the table and ordered Guilin Brine Rice Noodle, Roasted Pork Guilin Sauce w.Rice Noodle, Braised Beef Guilin Sauce w.Rice Noodle, and an extra Deep Fried Egg. The cashier, which was the only staff present other than the cook, brought our food out after 5-10 mins. The Deep-Fried Egg was kind of like a rice crispy but with egg and it was pretty good. All of the Guilin sauce noodle bowls are great. The noodles were right, the meat portions were plentiful, and the pork was fried perfectly so it was super crunchy. Everyone was pretty satisfied with their selections. Since toppings are self-serve, the flavor of the bowl is what you yourself make of it. I thought I did a pretty good job with mine for toppings except I put way too much Guilin sauce - I put 3 scoops. I failed to notice the sign above the toppings that say (in Chinese): "Guilin sauce - very salty, don't add too much, add a little at a time to taste". I think 1 scoop is normally plenty. Luckily the cashier will give you a complimentary soup because everyone makes that mistake - the soup is bland and can be used to balance the sauce, but will also ruin the flavor of the noodle bowl so it's better to just not make that mistake to begin with. When you're done eating, put your utensils, trash, and bowls in the bins at the back of the restaurant and wipe down your table for the next guest. You can pay with Apply/WeChat pay or credit card in the digital ordering system (QR code), or select the option to pay with the cashier (cash or card).
This is the place to go for luosifen. We went with low expectations but were wow-ed by the food. They opened recently and so it's very quiet. You scan the menu (qr code at the table) and order from your phone. They also have condiments at the little counter that you made grab. Place is spacious with ample seating. I ordered the thick noodle with pork intestine.
We love this place! We've come back so many times. The snail noodles are delicious especially with the beef. So tender! Can't get this anywhere else.
This place serves very nice rice noodles and the soup is very sweet and savory. The taste is really authentic. I love that there are a bunch of side dishes that you can eat to your heart's content for free. Furthermore, there are also a bunch of extra toppings you can pick to enhance your experience. I would definitely visit again as this is such a great place.
Really nice place. Legit nails noodles. Must add fried pork intestine. Beef bone soup good too. Me and my gf routine.
This has been one of the most delightful experiences I've had eating. Seriously being here is Peak Asian dining. The food was spectacular and they used Sichuan peppers. The owner was so sweet and politely stopped watching his Korean Drama to stir fry my squid. You can just hear the sizzling oil and delicious aroma spread across the restaurant. The tingling MaLa spice was addicting and I savored every bite. As soon as The chef/owner was done, he politely gave me my food and resumed his drama after I told him I didn't need anything else. Epic Asian dining and the food as equally incredible. read more
Food 2.5/5 I got the Stir-Fried Rice Noodles with Snail Flavor Beef... and it was the saltiest dish I've had in a while. The flavor (other than the salt) was acidic and had the snail essence ... but the salt was too overwhelming. The beef used isn't a good quality cut, and I don't normally comment on these kinds of things. I took the remainder home for leftovers and had to add cold water to dilute the salt - thankfully, the flavor remained though. That being said, it was all self-service other than the food being brought to me, which came fairly quickly. Unfortunately, I didnt have the best experience and would likely not come back for the Contra Conch Rice Noodles (which I really wanted to try but they were sold out). read more
Came here on a whim after passing it so many times. Like a lot of the other reviews say, the food was surprisingly good. The most difficult part is ordering because it's all online and the foods do not have a good description of what is in each dish. I ordered blindly but everything I got turned out good. The spicy beef noodle was so, so flavorful! It had a good kick, lots of noodles, tender beef slices, and a delicious fried egg. I also ordered a beef roll (I'm not really sure if that's what it's called). It was slices of beef stuffed inside a flaky, savory pastry. My only complaint with that is that the beef was cold. I expected it to be hot or at least warm. The food did take a while to come out so it might not be the place if you want a quick lunch. Staff was friendly and polite. read more
