TL;DR: solid food for a decent price, especially liked the daikon rice cake which I haven't seen anywhere else!
Super quick service but also gets crowded and filled up very quickly. We were lucky to get seated right away arriving at 1145 or so, but saw a long line when we were leaving. Come early if you don't want to wait!
We got two different combination rice stick bowls - one combination with soup, one combination wonton in the dry format. The soup version was pretty good, solid with a ton of ingredients included! The wontons were just ok, for only a dollar or two more though, it was good value since you get the same amount of ingredients as the regular bowl too! The dry noodles were good but not as flavorful as the ones I've ordered at Hai Ky in SF Tenderloin.
I also ordered the daikon rice cake with egg and peanut because I've never seen it at other places! It was delicious - crispy with a good flavor from the occasional pop from the preserved radish they added. It reminded me of a better daikon cake from dim sum places because of the crispy texture...

Read moreThe Combination Rice Stick Soup (#1) was a tasty mix of meats. The soup base was a bit mild, but the chili sauce and jalapeno on the table added a delicious kick.
I ordered the Spicy Beef Sate Rice Stick with Peanut to go (#2). It had a rich sate flavor without being too spicy. If you want more heat, just add their chili sauce.
The Combination Chow Fun (#21) had a satisfying mix of chicken, pork, prawns, and veggies. Although I usually prefer noodle soup, this dry noodle dish impressed me with its delicious flavors.
I tried the Fried Daikon Flour Cake with Egg and Peanut (#29) for the first time. The crispy, flaky exterior of the flour cake paired perfectly with the soft inside. The daikon and fried egg combo provided a delightful texture and taste.
The restaurant is in a busy plaza with ample parking, making it convenient. The staff were friendly and quick at cleaning tables, ensuring a swift seating process. Despite a possible wait, we were seated within 3-5 minutes after putting our names on...
