    Another top notch spot on Convoy St. I got the mango ginseng tea to start; delicious. Went for an all sesame experience getting the balls, wontons, and noodles. Great rich flavor on all the dishes. Would definitely recommend

    We ordered beef roll, popcorn chicken and black sesame noodles. Although the beef roll is slightly greasy, but the flavor is so savory and tasty Popcorn chicken is tender and juicy. Black sesame noodles is unique and flavorful. Beef roll and popcorn chicken are my 2 favorites, will definitely come back again and recommend to anyone.

    The beef noodle soup is god tier. The meet could be more tender but great portion size. I love the noodles and broth is on point. The beef roll is also really good. A little sweet, really Californian flavor but the ingredient are fresh and . Came on a Thursday for a late lunch after torey pines hike and they also had happy hour so that was a plus too!
