Signature Dishes
Ang Gu Noodles
Springy flat noodles are tossed with fried-shallot sauce and served with chives and bean sprouts; the aroma is pronounced and the flavor slightly sweet, though it can also come across as a little salty and familiar.
Ban-tiao
Soft and tender with a smooth texture, but it can feel quite different from expectations.
Red yeast fried pork
Served hot straight from the fryer; the Thai sweet-and-sour chili sauce adds a sweet-tart lift but is spicy, while the pork on its own is a little oily; its portion and texture hold up for the price and it is not dry.
Three Brothers Meatball Soup
The three meatballs each have a distinct character: the taro-filled ball has taro and peppery aroma, the mushroom ball is intensely mushroomy, and the kimchi ball has Korean kimchi flavor; the broth leans sweet and light.
Fugui bamboo shoots
The bamboo shoots are tender and savory-salty, carefully prepared, with almost no coarse fibers or tough stems.
