The restaurant specializes in mixian noodles, a type of rice noodle from China's Yunnan Province, where the owner grew up. Try the Grandma's Parou Mixian plate, with bone broth, chicken breast and leg, purple cabbage, Chinese cabbage, carrots, green onions, cilantro, pickled mustard stems, sesame chili oil and braised tea egg. Yelpers are also raving about the braised beef and Little Pot Mixian, with bone broth, minced shiitake pork, Chinese chives, pickled Mustard stems, spinach and chili soy vinaigrette, all cooked in a traditional copper pot.
With a five-star rating out of 11 reviews on Yelp so far, the fresh addition has already made a good impression.
Yelper Sid K. wrote, “Ordered the Grandma bowl, pork buns and the braised beef bowl. The beef bowl derives it's salt from the chili oils and is bereft of broth, but the fare is delicious. The buns were out of this world, flavor-packed white bunnies. The Grandma bowl was the favorite with it's melange of spices, meat, pasta and vegetables out in full teamwork ... probably rename it a Superbowl.”
