sandy s.sandy sanchez-bui: Must have the Dan Dan noodles and pork belly in garlic. If you can handle really spicy then do a Hot pot.

Shannon K.Shannon Kennedy: Options are rated by level of spiciness; they're fair with their ratings, don't walk in with too big of an ego :-) One of the best Chinese restaurants I've been to & vegetarian friendly as well!

Brendan R.Brendan Rastetter: You can't go wrong with the Dan Dan noodles. I always order them and get the cold noodles in chili oil to go for later if I'm having "one of those nights."
