Oil Spill Noodles

We kicked off our meal with the highly anticipated Oil Spill Noodles. These hand-pulled noodles were a delightful mixture of textures and flavors. The noodles had a perfect chew, coated in a bold, aromatic chili oil that provided just the right amount of heat.

The addition of garlic and scallions enhanced the dish’s savory depth, but some of us felt the spice level could have been dialed up for more kick. Nevertheless, it was a comforting and satisfying start to our feast.

Beef Noodles

Next on our table were the Beef Noodles, a dish that exuded warmth and richness. The broth was deeply flavorful, boasting hints of star anise and soy that harmonized beautifully.

However, while the beef was tender and flavorful, some reviewers found the broth to be slightly underwhelming. The noodles once again shone in this dish, showcasing their fresh, hand-crafted quality and perfectly absorbing the savory broth.

Henan Noodles

The standout of our meal was the Henan Noodles. Described as “phenomenal” by everyone at the table, this dish combined tender, braised pork with a tangy and slightly sweet sauce that coated the noodles impeccably. The pickled vegetables added a refreshing crunch and a hint of acidity that balanced the dish’s richness. Every bite was a perfect blend of flavors and textures, leaving us wanting more.
