"Noodle soups make up the majority of the menu at this relaxed Sunset spot, from thick egg noodles topped off with shredded chicken to rice noodles with wontons, fish balls, or hunks of fall-apart stewed beef. The one worth traversing the Avenues in sandals for is the egg noodle soup with wontons and a massive braised duck leg. The bone pulls right out, and the broth is clear and umami-packed. If you’re looking for a good way to spend $15, join the lunch crowds settling into the red leather booths—this place gets packed midday." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
