Every kind of Chinese noodle, in every delicious iteration. All handmade.
The Dan Dan is probably my fave, deceptively simple ropy hand-pulled noodles with tender ground pork and bok choy, shrouded in a surround-sound spice.
Hand-pulled noodles work both hot and cold, and this mix in sweetly-chilled Sesame Sauce may be the absolute best dish they make.
Their house special Beef Noodle Soup is divinely light in a barely-there broth with ribbons of knife shaved noodles.
Hand-ripped noodles are a wider, flatter, belt-thick option. They slither with a spicy Special Sauce and shreds of beef. The texture is the most satisfying chew.
The combinations are endless, and every preparations is its own kind of awesome. What could possible be left? STIR FRY. They'll whip up a Chow Mein of your wildest dreams using hand pulled or sliced noodles. These are hand pulled, but there is wrong answer here.
The noodles are the reason we're here, but they do have some other not-bad things if you're willing.
Their XLB have thicker wrappers,
the Beef Roll is okay,
And the Lamb Skewers are a brief homage to street food.
The Shrimp and Pork Dumplings are the real show-stealer here. Get them pan fried and let some of the juice drip as you crunch through a just-right wrapper and get into the tender bits beneath.
You can even go for a tray of perfectly battered Orange Chicken with zero shame - they make theirs far better than any fast food you’ve ever tried.
And never forget the cold dishes to cleanse and cool the palate. The chili oil slices of mixed beef and offal are my favorite. They have chili pig ears for those who like their cartilage, and strips of tofu or cold potato are the equivalent of an authentic Asian salad.
Plenty of loves on this menu, generous portions for sharing at lower prices than they deserve. Every noodle-y bite is a delight, and even if I tried every dish on this menu, I'd probably still come back for more.
