Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited and competitive. Metered spots nearby, tougher during weekday lunch and evenings.
Dress code: Very casual—jeans, hoodies, work clothes all normal.
Noise level: Moderate to loud in a small room; fine for quick conversation but not a long, quiet chat.
Weekend wait: 15–25 minutes during peak hours due to limited seating.
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait before noon; short line during peak lunch rush.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—some vegetable-based noodle soups or sides, but broths often contain meat.
Vegan options: Very limited—possible with customization, but not a focus.
Gluten-free options: Not ideal—noodles are wheat-based and cross-contact is likely.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a traditional date—it’s tight, fast-paced, and utilitarian. Better as a low-key, casual food stop.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—there are no reservations. Seating is first-come, first-served and turnover is quick.
Is it kid-friendly? Best for older kids who like noodle soups. Tight space and hot bowls make it less suitable for toddlers.
Best For
Better for: Simple, comforting Wenzhou-style noodle soups at a low price with fast turnaround.
Skip if: You want variety, dietary accommodations, or a sit-and-linger dining experience—look to larger noodle houses instead.
