Customer Reviews
Fantastic freshly made rice noodles. The owner is very charismatic and funny. It gets busy on the weekends and orders might take a while since everything is made by 1 person, but well worth it. They take credit card but you get a discount with cash 10/10.
Sweet, savory, and a little spicy (optional spice). This place is a staple for me and I get the curry fish balls with rice rolls. This place makes sure that there’s sauce with every bite you do. The sauces are customizable but I like to have mine with oyster sauce, soy sauce, peanut sauce and hot sauce. Good enough to be a snack or even a light meal. Highly recommend for the food, atmosphere, and service. I always feel welcomed and appreciated when I come here!!
Mr Lai the most passionate, funny and dedicated owner/chef I’ve met. Me and my friend walked in for a simple lemonade and we got the most natural, handcrafted, refreshing lemonade. In conversation with Mr Lai he was telling us all about his business and about his famous fish balls and hand pulled noodles. As mentioned, he is funny, he went back into the kitchen and brought us a hand pulled noodles and made some tricks with it. Me and my friend were positively inspired by Mr Lai’s persona to come and actually have a meal. So we did. We had the hand pulled noodles in soy sauce with shrimp. Best thing ever. We both regretted not getting a large. Mr Lai shortly came back from the shops were he was buying fresh produce for the restaurant amused at us actually coming back to his shop and was happily shocked about the amount of people in his restaurant. Mr Lai is a man of generosity , passion and determination for his craft. I’m glad the prices are extremely reasonable as everyone needs to be eating at Mr Lai’s restaurant. Definitely a must go.
Good rice roll with pork. I got the medium size and it’s filling for me. For someone who’s just trying it out, I recommend the small size. My only complaint is that they didn’t put sauce on it and I had to make a request. Midway I needed more sauce to finish the rice roll, so I had to ask again. Ut was a bit awkward. Very limited seating facing the picture wall.
The guy running the place was great. Super friendly and helpful. The noodles were incredible. I can’t personally say I was a huge fan of the fish balls but I think they are worth trying! A great stop on your Chinatown food tour!
