It's always a bit surprising how much the quality of this chain restaurant varies from location to location. There are a few locations in Boston that I went to when I used to live in MA, and I feel like the quality was so much better there than this location in Flushing. shrug
I ordered the spicy beef flank rice noodle (麻辣牛腩米線). It was actually quite spicy, and I think deceptively so HAHA because it didn't look like there was a lot of chilli oil in it. But perhaps the noodles were very absorbent or something. Anyways I digress.
Overall it was a pretty good bowl of noodles, with a very large portion of the rice noodles, which were cooked nicely (not too chewy or hard). I was not a fan of how much of the shredded seaweed ish thing was in the broth since it weighed down every bite. The fried bean curd rolls were nice. There were definitely a lot of pieces of beef, but some of them were mostly fat/unchewable parts, which was a little inconvenient and unexpected when ordering the 牛腩 beef flank option. Overall, though, it was not bad, and the price was still very Flushing, i.e. quite low.
Also you get a free passion fruit tea if you check in on Yelp! Yes, I know it's just sugar water basically but it was a nice treat. They also gave a free quasi-frozen off-brand Yakult at the end, too.
Good meal in general, but by Flushing standards I was a tad disappointed, especially since there's a better rice noodle place like, literally on the same block.
