The restaurant's signature dry noodles, "Ang Gu Mian," have a chewy texture and are paired with sauce and crispy shallots for a savory flavor. The meatballs in the "Three Brothers Meatball Soup" are large and delicious. Some dishes, like the red yeast rice fried pork and oil chicken, are average, while the golden kimchi and peanut tofu have a pleasantly surprising refreshing effect.
There are many people lining up outside the restaurant, but the reservation system is efficient, so the waiting time is not long. The dining environment has plenty of seating, utensils are self-served, and the servers bring the dishes quickly.
Here’s the translation to English:
Noodle and Meatball Trio Soup $115
The noodle dish is the signature dry noodle of this restaurant; if you don’t order it, what else will you order? The noodles are very chewy and come with some bean sprouts and green vegetables, drizzled with a sauce similar to soy sauce and topped with plenty of crispy shallots. The taste is savory and delicious, and I strongly recommend adding chili, which enhances the flavor even more. However, the downside is that it becomes increasingly greasy; by the time I had finished 2/3 of the bowl, it was so oily that I couldn’t eat anymore.
The meatball trio consists of mushroom balls, squid balls, and taro balls, all quite large. I found the first two to be tasty (I didn’t try the taro ball, so I can’t comment on it), and the soup paired with the dry noodles is a nice way to cut the greasiness. I recommend this combo.
Exclusive Red Yeast Fried Pork $98
Maybe I had high expectations, so I found this rather ordinary. The frying was okay, the outer skin wasn’t very crispy. It comes with a Thai-style sweet and sour sauce that’s decent, but personally, I don’t think it’s a must-order.
Hakka Oil Chicken $185
The chicken is quite tender; it’s called oil chicken, but the oiliness is acceptable, and the flavor is decent. However, it didn’t leave a strong impression, and given the price isn’t low, I don’t think it’s a must-order.
Cold Dressed Pig Liver $50
The portion is quite generous, but it’s just standard pig liver without any weird fishy taste, so it’s acceptable; however, it’s the kind of dish that you can eat or leave.
Old Stewed Tofu $40
Tastes very much like the kind of tofu that convenience stores sell; in any case, it’s just pretty ordinary.
Golden Kimchi $40
This is my favorite dish among the sides. It works great with the somewhat greasy dry noodles and really helps cut through the richness.
Peanut Tofu $65
This dish probably generated the most discussion today, as it’s hard to tell whether it’s a side dish or a dessert. It has a light purple color and a strong peanut flavor, with a creamy texture similar to pudding. If you don’t add soy sauce, it can be eaten as a dessert, but after adding soy sauce... well, it’s very unique; however, it’s not bad, and everyone can decide for themselves.
