My favorite rice noodle , you must try, it’s the real and real yunnan rice noodle in New York

Their rice noodles is very authentic... love it

2.16.19 - great value, no frills, no 5ax if paid with cash. Usually no wait. Second time here and it is consistent with the first experience.

Get some.

I came here on a Saturday night, and when we arrived, it was empty (when we left, it was about half full). I got the braised fish noodles, and it was sufficiently spicy. The noodles were thinner than I'm used to for this dish (Yunnan noodles specifically), and the fish was fried, not braised. The fish was not very good at all. I also had a bit of my friend's soup from his seafood crossing the bridge noodle, which was very seafood-flavored but I'm not sure what the soup base would have tasted like. There was also a lot of oil on top of the soup, and I became extremely thirsty afterward (MSG in my soup possibly or both soups). Not a fan of the noodles which were too thin and not a fan of the thirstiness. For $8 pre-tax pre-tip, it was definitely good portions for the price and I desperately wish it were better, but alas it's not, so I probably won't be returning.

A pleasant surprise find, met with a friend for dinner. Classic Chinese dive but native high quality, food was super good. Also good prices, good portions, low key. Definitely would go back again.
