Excellent value for unique dining in the neighborhood. The dry beef noodles were a good pick. A little spicy but not too much. It’s the only place I know of on the east coast to have a Taiwan beer. The stools at the tables felt like what you’d sit on at street food vendors in Taiwan. Will definitely return.
