The dish was recommended by waitress. The presentation was breathtaking. How they incorporate the sides; dark noodles, iced seasoning and spices made the dish. It had spicy, but mild and delicious. I will be back excellent. Thank you!

Very good cold noodle place. Delicious. Only thing I will complain is the tip. The bill automatically add 20%, which I think a little too much
