Maggie T., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on May 28, said, "Friendly staff. Great food. Great new addition to the Ave. Stop by for lunch between class, the food is prepared quickly and deliciously."
And Jake C. said, "This place is delicious. In the location that was previously Silk Road Noodle, they've remodeled the interior since then and done some menu changes. Their noodle soup is just as fabulous as before, but they've increased their menu in other items."
The eatery is open daily from 10 a.m.-9:30 p.m.
