I have been wanting to try here for a while since they opened and finally made it in! TLDR: this is a very specific type of noodle experience (crossing the bridge noodles) I think it's important to know this to help set expectations.
Ordering is super easy with the QR code on the table but they do give you a physical menu as well. Service was friendly and quick and they explained that I can pay at the end too and not by the QR code so that was helpful. The place is not super big but it is open and brightly lit. They do have some tables put together to accommodate larger groups. They also have on the TVs playing an animation explaining the origin of the Crossing the Bridge noodles - that was very interesting.
They have a few soup bases to choose from including tomato, spicy (mala), and a sour soup. All the base toppings are pretty much the same: corn, sliced ham, fish cake, scallion, quail egg, tofu skin, marinated root vegetable, and a fermented paste to add for more flavor. You can also do add-ons to any of the noodles like pork chop, beef brisket, etc.
The soup base comes out piping out in the stone bowl and you get the tray of toppings to put in yourself. The additional add-on and rice noodles comes separately which is much appreciated since you can decide when you want to add more noodles so it doesn't become soggy. All in all very flavorful and filling, especially perfect on a rainy day.
I also want to give a shout-out to the side dishes as well! The spring rolls came out hot and crispy with the sweet chili sauce, and the Fried Milk with condensed milk truly took me back to my childhood! Perfect texture and the best way to end a meal.
Come give this place a try if you haven't yet!
