Get the guilin noodle again, delicious. Laoyao noodle was very sour, Good if you like that kind of sour. Snow dessert pastry to go was really good. Really nice and friendly service. For one of my dishes they put in the wrong noodle. Round noodle instead of flat noodle. They offered to redo the dish, I asked them just to give me some flat noodles which they did. Will come back
Guilin style is not as well known to most Americans as Mandarin or Szechuan or Shanghai styles for example, but it is well regarded in China. They are best known probably for rice noodles and are well worth a try. This is a very friendly and affordable place to give this style of Chinese food a taste.
Probably the most authentic Guilin noodle I've had in the bay. So happy that I found this place, because the noodle remindse of home. 😋 The dry Guilin noodle with crispy pork and beef brisket is a must try.
The quality and flavor of the Guilin noodle is far from the ones in China. Less authentic! Here, the broth is just salty. That’s not how Guilin noodle tasted in China. The noodle is served in a paper bowl. The toppling is not authentic either. The service is not great, you don’t see them welcome you, you scan the QR code on the table to see the menu, and then pay at the counter by yourself. Basically, no one serves you till this point. Quite disappointing!
Really great place with the nicest staff! I wasn't familiar with Guilin cuisine at all prior and the owner has been so nice explaining everything. I go with the dry noodle mix with marinated beef & crispy pork. SO good. If you like it spicy, be sure to ask for their homemade spice mix rather than a typical hot oil - amazing flavor and spice level.
Be sure to get the plum drink as well! One of my favorite drinks at a restaurant I've ever had!
Been here 4 times in the last month :) cannot recommend it enough
