Signature Dishes
Sesame-sauce noodles
Sesame sauce and minced pork come with sliced meat and greens in a generous portion; the flavor may lean sweet, with the sesame aroma ranging from rich to barely noticeable.
Cold noodles
Even the small portion is large; sesame sauce comes with warm minced pork and shredded cucumber, balancing cool and warm flavors, well suited to a hot midday, though toppings have been missing on one occasion.
Wonton soup
The broth is clean-tasting, lightly sweet, and not heavy, and the wonton portion is substantial; you may also encounter wontons with more wrapper than filling and a salty taste.
Braised sides
Dried tofu, seaweed, and pig's ear can be selected as a plate to pair with noodles; they can be tender and well-seasoned, but may also be under-seasoned.
Yi noodles
The noodles can be springy and chewy with savory minced pork; the seasoning may also be salty enough to overpower the noodle aroma, and the overall portion is large.
