I rarely give such high ratings to this type of snack shop!

When I arrived at this place, I didn't have high expectations.
🤔💭 "Isn’t it just a little noodle shop selling simple broth, dry noodles, and cold cuts?"

I hadn’t planned on eating here.
Unfortunately, no matter how I walked that day, there were very few shops open for business.

Even if they were open, either there were no customers or the owner was nowhere to be found. After quite a trek, I finally found this place that seemed to have a crowd.

"Since there's not much choice, let’s just go with it! As long as it’s clean!"
My friend and I shared this thought, and seeing that the exterior wasn't too bad, we went inside to eat.

Customers came and went, and we didn’t have much expectation. After all, the main goal was to fill our stomachs; whether it tasted good or not was secondary.
"It’s not expensive!"
That was our first impression of the place—until the food arrived at our table.

😳⋯⋯
Wow, that’s a surprisingly large bowl?

The small bowl of plain noodles was about the same as the large bowl,
The $25 bamboo shoot soup bowl was also huge,
The minced pork rice was piled high with a lot of minced pork, and we could even add pickled vegetables?

Not only was it large, but it was also really delicious! 😳
It’s basically just regular plain noodle broth—nothing fancy or memorable about the flavor,
but it has that hometown taste, a traditional little shop,
clean and the broth was clear with hardly any impurities.

I once thought the big bowl was an illusion,
Maybe it had been too long since I ate at this type of vendor,
Later, a small family came in, and the dad ordered a bowl of fried noodles,
And it was clear that his bowl of fried noodles was definitely large.
(I was too shy to take a sneaky photo of others, so I didn’t.)

The fried noodles were piled up high like a mountain.
The bowl was also super big, but the fried noodles could be stacked high to a "peak,"
We ate for about 30 minutes,
Even though that dad was opening his mouth wide for each bite and chewing hard, eating the fried noodles like it was a big dish,
The fried noodles in front of him still didn’t drop below the rim of the bowl,
It just went from a pointed mountain to a flatter one,
Still a mountain.

This place is completely the kind of shop where grandma worries you’ll get hungry! 😳
My friend and I both felt very lucky, as if we stumbled upon a treasure,
This little shop was clean and bright, with simple things that were simply delicious,
And the best part, it’s very cheap and a great deal!

If you don’t mind having some rice, noodles, soup, or porridge, you should come and give it a try! 😆

Yangchun noodles (small) $40 Yes, this is a small bowl! The Yangchun noodles themselves do not come with a braised egg; the braised egg is an extra order. Additionally, the Yangchun noodles are usually topped with minced meat, but since I wanted something light that day, I asked the restaurant to leave it out, which is why it looks like such a clear broth with plain noodles.

Braised Pork Rice (Small) $30 This is $30😍⋯⋯ A lot of them have just gravy, but this one really has meat!

Boiled greens $30 The sauces are by the table and in the sauce area for you to add yourself, so the restaurant didn't put them in first.

Bamboo Shoot Soup $25 This part is average; if you've had bamboo shoots before, you might get more. But I think at this price of $25, it's quite reasonable.

This meal (full course) I would like to emphasize again, that the noodles and rice are both in small bowls!

Beverages and Sauces Inside the iron cup is the homemade sauce from the shop. We found out too late! Seeing many regular customers keep adding it, it must be quite good!

The part at the entrance of the shop is really just a small store, but there is no need to sit outdoors. Although it's made of iron sheets, the interior is organized neatly and is bright.

Every time, I'm afraid that the small shop will be oily and sticky, but this place is completely fine! The tables, floor, and chairs are all very clean!
