maybe it's bc this is similar to the food I ate growing up...but this was ok? chili wontons and lu rou fan were particularly unimpressive. beef noodle soup was a decent size, and had a more authentic flavor than your average noodle soup spot, but I'm not sure it would be worth the $22.50. garlicky cucumbers were pretty tasty, but you get max 10 pieces. it got pretty busy while we were there, but it wasn't too hard to get in on a Saturday night around 7:45 pm
