Reviews
- petite_acornWow, the clay pot beef tendon noodles here are honestly so worth it!! The beef tendon was stewed until it was fall-apart tender and super flavorful, and the sesame paste sauce was so rich and creamy. It coated the noodles perfectly — not too heavy, not overpowering, just right. The place itself was clean and well-organized, plenty of space between tables so you don't feel cramped. Service was friendly and the food came out fast too. Loved that they had lots of side dishes and the veggies tasted really fresh. Every bite had so many layers of flavor, left me totally full and happy. Definitely coming back!
