A group of us came for dinner and arrived at 6:00. We were seated immediately. The restaurant is, to put it nicely, sparsely decorated, and is quite simple inside. However, don't let the lack of decor fool you. The food more than makes up for it.

This is one of the only Chinese restaurants in the greater Phoenix area that makes real hand pulled noodles. The last time I had noodles of this quality, it was in Hong Kong! 

There is a big picture window where you can watch the chef stretching the dough and making any of the 5 kinds of noodles.

I started off with the marinated beef tendon. Usually, you get a small plate with a little portion of the tendon on it. Here, I was surprised to get a big plate with a huge portion of tendon on it. To be honest, it was more than I could possibly eat, but we all made a good stab at it.

Next, I ordered a portion of noodles with XO sauce. This is a spicy sauce that really brings out the flavors in foods, and I was not disappointed. It was fun to watch the chef prepare the dish through the window. All my guests were mesmerized watching the preparation. Each person ordered a different dish, and all were pronounced flavorful and excellent.

Service is simple, but quick. Considering the prices, one has to wonder how they can stay in business. Big plates of food at very low prices.

Were it not for the simple decor, this place would easily rate 4 stars.

3 stars for portion size and quality.

A good place to eat your fill at a reasonable price.
