Great tiny cafe! The dumplings were absolutely amazing - probably the best I’ve ever had. The other dishes were also really good, especially the noodles. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!
Originally we wanted to go to Cactus Club but the line was crazily long. We came to the weekend when there was a festival at the mall. So we searched for the highest-rating restaurant nearby and found this place. The food was so good, it blew our mind. We had a spicy shredded potato appetizer. It was spicy but still manageable for us. Their noodles were very different from what we normally saw at other noodle places, so we just kind of picked two very different ones. One was glassy and in chili oil soup, the other one was thin pull noodles in a relatively clear booth. Both were very flavourful and we were so glad that we found this place. Even though this is far from where we live but we will definitely come back to try other types of noodles. We were given free dessert in the end! The dessert was some sort of jelly - it was transparent, chill and not too sweet. Lovely! A perfect ending to a delicious meal.
We are pretty spoiled for food options these days, and a lot of them are solid. But every so often, you stumble on a place where the flavors really stand out, and this is one of those gems. It's a true hole-in-the-wall with an unassuming interior, but the food is absolutely outstanding. It seems to be a small operation, with one incredibly hardworking lady running the show. She is taking orders, serving, and clearly putting her heart into what she is doing. We have tried a bunch of items, but the beef tripe was such a standout that it pulled us back for repeat visits in no time. Anything dough-based—dumplings, hand-pulled noodles—is a must, especially the house-made noodles, which somehow hit that rare sweet spot of being both silky and chewy. The place is always busy, and for good reason, but I hope they keep growing as they genuinely deserve it. This is one of those rare cases where the food does all the talking, proving that when flavors are king, everything else is just extra.
Highly recommend getting the homemade noodles, the texture is perfect! Their dishes are delicious and packed with flavour. We’ve been here twice and will definitely be coming back.
A hidden gem! We loved all the food here and the broth from the beef noodle was very flavorful. The chef really outdid themselves! The cost ended up being around 80 for a family of 4, and we were stuffed.
I had an incredible dining experience at this Szechuan gem! The Chitterlings Chongqing Spicy Noodles were a standout, with a delightful texture that perfectly complemented the bold flavors of the dish. Each bite was a harmonious blend of spice and satisfaction. I was equally impressed by the Pickled Chicken Giblets Glass Noodles, which transported me back to my time in China. The dish was authentically prepared, capturing that familiar taste I had been craving. To top it all off, I indulged in the Raindrop Jelly dessert, which came beautifully adorned with pearls. This refreshing treat was the perfect antidote to the spiciness of the meal, providing a light and sweet finish that left me wanting more. Overall, this restaurant offers a fantastic culinary journey that any Szechuan lover must experience!
I’ve never been able to finish a beef noodle soup except for this place amazing food, and the waitress is very sweet and helpful 3
