Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; very limited and difficult most of the day. Public transit is the smarter option.
Dress code: Very casual — jeans, sneakers, and coats on chairs are the norm.
Noise level: High — constant kitchen noise and tight seating make extended conversation difficult.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes during peak hours, faster turnover but lines move steadily
Weekday lunch: 10–20 minutes before noon; longer closer to 1pm
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — several vegetable noodle dishes and dumplings available
Vegan options: Limited — possible with specific vegetable noodle orders, but ask about broths
Gluten-free options: No — hand-pulled noodles and dumpling wrappers are wheat-based
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal. The space is tight, loud, and very utilitarian — better for food-focused efficiency than lingering conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — there are no reservations. Expect to wait briefly and share tight seating during busy hours.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids who like noodles and dumplings, but strollers and very young children can be challenging due to space.
Best For
Better for: Fast, filling noodle bowls with real chew and value pricing — especially when you want something hot and satisfying without ceremony.
Skip if: You want a relaxed sit-down meal, quiet conversation, or gluten-free options — nearby Chinatown spots offer more comfort and flexibility.
