Hand-pulled noodles are delicious, the roujiamo tastes authentic, and the newly introduced sesame sauce gluten dish is also pretty good. Before leaving, I even packed some frozen dumplings—they’re super convenient to cook at home.

♿️ there is a 5 cm rounded step into the store, which may be a challenge for some power wheelchairs as there is not a lot of room to maneuver just inside the door. It's a small place, only three or four tables. While the printed menu has English on it, the TV screens on the wall have a lot of Chinese on them and I wonder if something is lost in translation. We ordered the pulled pork Chinese "burger", which came between slices of a small round unleavened flatbread, similar in size to an English muffin and with a texture more like a pita. That was pretty tasty, but not enough for a meal by itself. We also ordered Seitan salad without really knowing what it is. Turns out it is a glutenous protein and you got little strips of it. Not a very strong flavour and quite light to eat. We also ordered noodles, which are very long, and apparently hand pulled, though, of course, rather plain tasting, unless you add some of the chilli sauce – in which case, watch out! All in all, a pleasant meal, and a nice discovery in my neighbourhood. Much more interesting than the fare next-door at the A&W!
