Found this new restaurant on 9th street today, and it just became my new favorite in the area. I ordered braised beef tendon noodle soup and crispy beef with chillies noodle. I asked for extra chillies, and it had a pretty authentic Szechuan taste. The food was very delicious and authentic. Will definitely go there again!

This was a wonderful new boba/dessert/noodle shop! Would
definitely visit again.
Ratings below:
- Scallion pancake: 9/10 love the texture and flavor. I usually don’t like this at other places (like Taipei 101) but I would order it here again. Wished it came with a dipping sauce.
- Mango grapefruit 8/10 refreshing and has fresh grapefruit inside but the mango flavor could be improved. Tasted a little powdery. It’s very light in sweetness compared to the other boba shops but I prefer that (I usually order 50% less at other places).
- Minced beef noodles - 9/10
Beef was well seasoned, not too light or too salty and the garlic flavor was very strong which we loved! Generous portion as well. Noodles felt a bit over cooked is all.
- Pork floss cake 7/10
It wasn’t bad but I’m not sure if I would get it again. It’s very small and had a sponge cake texture with a cream in the middle. Flavor was good but brecotea has one that is much better.

Nice noodle bar, not super large, but we did not feel too close to the other tables.
The soups we got were very tasty, we would definitely go again. I very much enjoyed the pork belly soup and my kiddo enjoyed the minced chicken noodle.
Service was a tad slow, but it is a new restaurant so it is expected, and was not too bad.

A new restaurant. We went there during their soft opening so everything is 10% off. We ordered the pumpkin pancake, braised beef noodle soup, and chickpea & minced pork noodle soup. They are delicious, though the size is a bit small. The foods on the menu are mainly noodles and appetizers, plus drinks and desserts. Overall a nice new place to eat noodles.

First time visiting this place and had a great experience. Noodles and dessert are great! Friendly and helpful staff whom made us feel welcomed. Definitely worth a stop by when around Duke downtown or Duke university.

The Pickle & Pork noodle soup was really delicious! Not sure if the noodles were handmade or not but it tasted extremely fresh and flavorful. Went to the restaurant with my family a day before Christmas Eve and we all loved it especially the crispy Portuguese tart, reminded me of the one I had in Europe. Overall a very pleasant experience and wouldn’t hesitate to come again.

Happened to walk in on the opening day, didn’t expect such a big portion especially with the price. Awesome food and welcoming staff, highly recommend the egg tart and the braised beef noodle soup. Definitely would return :)
