    Staff is always very friendly. It’s cash only so just be aware. There is BofA atm across the street so no worries. We come here at least once a month if not more. One of my favorites. Their cold chili chicken is the best I can find. And I always get the chili fish. So good. It’s a bit inconsistent in the vegetable and soup density but flavor is always so good. Plenty of fish for two. Although I usually eat it all myself. 😂. They have lots to choose from and usually everything is good. It’s a small little “hole in the wall” neighborhood place but don’t let it fool you. Enjoy!

    Fully expect there to be no seating because the interior is very small. I grabbed some takeout and it was still very enjoyable. All the noodles were very good but my two favorite dishes were the Liuzhou river nail noodles and the sichuan fish fillet. Bursting with flavor!

    If you like spicy foods, this is a place to go. Located in hancock street. Their noodle soups are good as well. 2 hours parking spots outdoor. The place is small for dinning but foods are pretty good. I would recommend it.

    I’d say best Chinese noodle place around Boston Area!!! Ordered the beef lanzhou noodle and cumin lamb noodle and both are beyond amazing! Very authentic and tasty! Will definitely try again soon for other noodles.

    Food was ok, but felt rather overpriced. Probably wouldn’t come again. ~$22 after tax for noodles and skewers. Lamb skewers were super tough and 2 piece for $7 is not it. Noodles had good seasoning but very oily. Meat and veggies are sparse and for the price maybe that’s expected but they’re probably saving enough on taxes from being cash only that they could be a bit more generous. We got takeout and it was fast even though it seemed pretty busy. Small storefront, with some tables to dine in at

    HUGE portion sizes. I said “this is so good” three times while eating the liang pi/ 凉皮 (“cold skin noodles” on their menu). Cumin lamb biang biang noodles in soup for me, brisket wonton noodle soup for boyfriend. Totally hit the spot, 11/10 coming here again next time I’m in Quincy. Honestly would drive to Quincy just to have these noodles again.

    Limited seats but the food is amazing! You know a place focuses more on food when it is hard to find, focuses less on rent, and is small and cramped with a few tables! You will keep eating! The noodles are not too spicy that you will burn, but spicy enough for you to keep eating it! Definitely go here for spicy good noodles!!!

    Great noodle soup, small seatings so you may have to wait. We waited only 10 minutes on a Saturday afternoon, I’d come back and try different dishes next time

  • 4/5 Shanming L. 8 months ago on Google
    Pulling noodles with beef is the best. Must order dish. I was there last time to try new things, pickled fish and Wuhan dry and chili noodles, it was so so.

  • 4/5 Onnei 9 months ago on Google
    The noodle soups we chose were pretty good. This place cash only, has no bathroom, and water is self serve. There were no greetings from the waitress. I don’t recall seeing seeing a smile the entire time. You go there just for the food. Luckily, it doesn’t disappoint. That sort of ruins the experience.

    This is for takeout only. We ordered the cumin lamb noodles and hand pulled lamb noodles as they listed them separately on the menu. What we got, looked like the same thing. It was very tasty either way. We also got the Korean chicken wings. Those were great but a bit pricey for 6 wings. It wasn't crazy spicy. I would come and try it again. Next time I'll call ahead.

  • 5/5 Marissa C. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious! My husband ordered the lamb biang biang and I had the Mala noodles. Usually my husband isn't big fan of most Chinese restaurant but he said these noodles were out of this world and the tea eggs as well. Will definitely be my go to!

    This is a tiny place. We don’t dine in but take out often for our son who is a picky foodie. He like their food for its authentic flavorfulness. His favorite are the stir-fried handmade noodles with lamb and Korean fried chicken

    Delicious! Got liang pi (cold skin noodles) and cumin lamb dry noodles and both were great but we liked the lamb noodles a bit better. As a liang pi enthusiast I'd say the texture of the noodles were good and all the right stuff was there but there was something small I can't put my finger on that felt missing so I can't say it was my favorite but I'm a harsh judge. The biang biang mian was great - a bit thicker than my preferred but I actually didn't mind. Flavor and texture were great. Could've used more lamb but I would get it again.

    Best noodles in Boston. The cumin lamb dry hand-pulled noodles are out of this world. The spicy cold starch strips and seitan (凉皮)(first picture) are the best I've ever had; the strips are so chewy and slippery. The fish slices with pickled vegetables (second picture) are served with a very fragrant oil infused with chilis and Sichuan peppercorn.

    The noodles were so fresh! I had the cumin lamb Biang Biang noodles and I will return for more very soon! The place is very small and cash only, plan accordingly.

  • 4/5 Jack CJ T. 2 years ago on Google
    Had lanzhou noodles and cumin lamb flat noodles. Both are very good but find the soup is slightly on the light side, but the portion is really huge. Also this place only take cash, no personal cheque and credit cards. So make sure you withdraw from atm before going there.
