Reviews
- Elisha_11Stopped by for lunch on my own and grabbed the solo set — the crab roe noodles. Honestly the portion was huge, like way more than I expected. The crab roe was super generous and the noodles had soaked up all that rich, savory broth. Every bite was so satisfying. The place was clean inside and had plenty of seating, so sitting alone didn't feel awkward at all. The staff were really warm and welcoming — they brought over a cup of ginger tea right after I sat down and kept refilling my water without me even asking. Tried both the crab roe noodles and the gold noodles and they were both really good. Crab roe was the real deal, not stingy at all. I actually still had half the pot left when I finished, so next time I'll just ask for a to-go box. Definitely coming back.
