Their hand pulled cold noodles with chili oil (E1 on the menu) is a must have and I would definitely come back just to enjoy the soft smooth squishy bounce! Everything else was a good 4/5: spicy ox tripe, beef roll scallion pancake, hot & sour soup, boiled fish slices, and fried lamb cumin. Some items tasted peculiar. This is a nice local neighborhood hole in the wall with just a few tables inside. Seems more popular lately since we had to wait about half hour for a part of 3 for a Saturday dinner. Servers are hardworking, quick, and direct. They speak Mandarin, with limited Canto/English. Recommend jotting down on a phone note what you want from the menu and showing them the list. Excellent value as our subtotal was $94 for 3 athletic hungry guys (before tip).

Delicious hole in the wall dumplings and noodles! The Shandong folks know their carbs. You can watch 2 ladies swiftly making them throughout your meal - my 3 year old was very entertained. Other than dumplings (dozens of flavors), my favorite dish is the liang pi cold noodles. Better yet - mix the liang pi sauce with dumplings! Veggies and noodles soups are good too. They might suggest a fried chicken dish but I would prioritize the other things. They have frozen dumplings and other goodies too - we left with 300 dumplings!! Vinegar purists beware though - the house vinegar is very light. I’m tempted to bring my own 镇江醋 next time 🤣

E1 (cold skin noodles) is authentic and unique in a sea of nearby Chinese restaurants. However, it's mostly just noodle and doesn't really have meat. You'll want to add on some dumplings or veggies to make this a complete meal.

Haven't been back since COVID and noted ownership and most likely chef has been changed. Dumplings were decent and fresh. Xinjiang noodles did not taste the same as before. Onion cake was okay so as the other appetizers.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Standard (1=Avoid, 3=Standard, 5=Can't Miss) fast, casual Chinese food. You can't expect this place to be anything more than what it presents itself to be, so anything less than a 3 would really be unfair. They make good quality, decently portioned and priced food... and yes, you'll feel a little rushed to get in and get out, but that's to be expected. The dumplings are handmade and what you'd expect for SF standards, the beef scallion pancake wrap very large but not the tastiest I've had, and the noodles were hand shaved and had great texture. Would I go out of my way to come here, not really, but I would try at least once!

Idk why this place only has 4.1 stars. It’s so freaking good. First of all, the Liang pi is AMAZING. Best I’ve had in my life. Second of all, the soy milk was frothy and not too sweet. The last thing I would say is the price. We paid $27.50 for one noodle, one dish and one drink shared between two people with leftovers. In this ECONOMY. unheard of.

A street food kind of place, small and comfortable. We had so many dishes and I don’t know the real names but there are pictures of all. Fish dumplings, they are delicious! Mixed with herbs. Soup dumplings with pork! Scrumptious! One of my favorites Beef roll, thin slices with veggies and herbs, crispy outside and full of flavors on the inside There is a pizza like dish with beef inside sliced thin and tender The fried rice is made to order, just like everything else and the wait was worth the time

Wow!! What a surprise as we’ve eaten at many, many restaurants in the area but somehow overlooked this incredible Shantung style family run restaurant. We had three dishes, the Xian hemp cold flat noodles, cabbage pork dumplings and the smashed cucumber with peanuts. Each dish was just outstanding. The Xian dish had a cumin base and was soo fresh and delicious with sesame oil and was only moderately spicy. The cabbage pork dumplings were also outstanding as was the cucumber. Once we sat down the staff was extraordinarily friendly and welcoming but did not speak any English only mandarin and Shantungese. Yet they made us feel so welcome. This has to be one authentic Homestyle restaurant as we felt like we had walked into a family restaurant in China. It was fun and great experience so we’ll be back soon!!
