5/20/2023 The Wife's Special Noodle with Fried Pork (He Lao Style) 老婆小炒肉河捞面 is the best needle with an elastic and silky taste (great sauce). The noodle is home made. No wonder it is mentioned at the Michelin 2019 and 2021 Guide.

Service is good. Enough meat for a man. (We ordered beed noodle soup and some sort of lamb noodle soup.)

Expect nothing from here other than a friendly smile and tasty food. Special Beef Noodle was delicious, the beef was perfectly braised and the broth was very well made. The dumplings and green onion pancake pair well with the soup.

Fantastic food, ordered the #4 and #14. House special beef noodle soup, amazing. Good portions too. Fried noodles also really good, liked the soup the most. Would recommend again Small, 6 or 7 total 4 seat tables.

SIt down, order the house noodle, eat. not much to pick from the menu the house noodle is all you'd need. there is a wet one and a dry one for like $20. those we ordered. excellent choices. the dumpling actually not as good as the noodle. skip those dumplings if budget constraint. the soup is great. didn't need a straw but did suck up all of it. the fried one i did leave the extra oil on the plate and nothing else. the food was hot, the way it should be. the decor does not exist. nothing to talk about. just plain tables, no arm rest chairs in a nearly empty shop. you'll find a vanilla fridge and a register on the counter, that's all. everything comes from behind the doorway of mystery. maybe mr. ping from kung fu panda is back there? good stuff are pricey. the cheap stuff i didn't order. not sure what are they...
