My first time eating at this chain was in the Bay Area, and I'm so excited and happy that this chain has made it to Chicago!
Service is amazing; servers were super nice and attentive and offered to help explain the menu, provide recommendations, and how to prepare the rice noodles. New restaurant so everything was clean.
Overall - good portions, love the noodles, and flavorful soups with decent protein options. I love that the bowls come in piping hot and you throw in all the sides into the bowl. The soup is flavorful enough such that you can slurp your noodles and there's plenty of flavor!
Ordyceps Flower Chicken Rice Noodle - tender and flavorful chicken with a delicate flavor of the ordyceps flower. Surprisingly was a great bowl of noodle and soup and quite a bit of meat overall leaving us really full. The yellow color is a little weird but the taste was pretty good. Definitely drank quite a bit of soup from this bowl!
Original Beef Brisket Rice Noodle - The beef brisket was made very well and flavorful! Highly recommend. I'm glad that they put this on the side instead of throwing it into the bowl!
Original Pork Chop Rice Noodle - I was told the pork chop is fried so I asked for the pork chop on the side. The pork chop was lukewarm, not crispy (came soft), and wasn't the most tender nor juicy. It felt like the pork chop was previously fried and then only reheated upon ordering. Taste of the pork chop was rather bland as well and wish it had more flavoring. Would not recommend getting this since the beef brisket or chicken was definitely a better option.
They also have weekday combos for $19.99 where you can pick from a select number of noodle dishes, an appetizer (a smaller portion than appetizers from the menu), and an iced tea which you can have sweetened or unsweetened.
