If you like pickles you will love this place. A great alternative to ramen. Get the brisket noodle soup. The service is great. The combination of picked vegetables and their soup just works on so many levels.
Tried this restaurant last night, after walking by it the other day and reading the menu on the window. Although only me, ordered 3 dishes so I would have a good sampling, and some left overs if it was good. Although my arteries probably hardened a bit with the fat content, I am a lost cause for pork belly and hocks. I had the pork belly soup, the hock noodles, and the salt and pepper knuckle appy.
I had tried something like this in Vancouver many years ago, but had forgot what it tasted like. All I can really say is that I ate until I hurt..lol
All three dishes were fantastic. A totally different flavor than Vietnamese noodles and soups, and far different than any other type of Chinese dishes I have tried. The knuckles were to die for, and even though still full, ended up eating up the remains at home a few hours later.
As said in a previous post, the staff, which are the owners, are great to talk to, and super friendly. I really enjoyed talking to them about the foods, etc, though I suspect I surprised them with how spicy I like my food. They even have their chili oil for sale in small jars, and you can get in spicy, or their new, really spicy...Of course I had to buy a jar of the really spicy...
Prices are a bit more than Viet places, but well worth it, and the portions are generous to say the least. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to try something new, and at a fair price. I will be back soon, but will wait until my heart can take all that richness again. Thumbs up to the restaurant.
