Out of five items ordered, I enjoyed two, tolerated one, and really disliked the last two dishes. It seems to be a one-woman show though - it's a small place, but only one person running around for everything. On a Friday night, we stopped by around 6PM, and even though we finished eating rather quickly, we stayed chatting for a long while afterwards and didn't feel rushed to leave (also because it was no where near full house as well).
Maybe it's the aftermath of COVID, but the restaurant's front door is locked the whole time. There's a sign and doorbell on the front door that tells you to ring the bell for dine-in/take out, and the waitress will let you in to seat you or pass you the food. Outside, there was also a very loud homeless man that stayed there the entire night. Could be the reason why the doors are locked.
Okay, on to the food. Writing from most enjoyable to least. Before I talk about the food, I have to say that the portions are abysmal for the price. I felt like I was eating lunch special portions. Sooo tiny. Not very shareable at all.
Tom Yum Fried Rice with Tofu: this was the highlight of the dinner, with a nice spicy flavor. I would say this was the biggest dish as well with good amount of rice, but I barely had any tofu or other toppings though.
Drunken Noodles with Chicken: this was pretty tasty, but I only got two bites :( it was just sooo small. It was spicy and good, but even for one person, I don't think it can fill you up.
Shrimp Mama: Too much of the crispy noodle that it was just so hard and dry to eat.
Duck Salad: Too sour
Shrimp In Da Pot: wow I never knew vermicelli noodles could taste so bad. Whatever sauce this came in was pretty off-putting, our party of four didn't even touch this. It was the most expensive dish we ordered too and came with four pieces of shrimp, and all noodles.
