You can hear the slurping from the parking lot, but when you get inside, you see the fat grins of those doing that slurping. It’s noodles, man—life-giving, fortifying noodles being slurped into those mouths! This place has great rice plates, hot and steamy bowls of pho, cold rice noodle dishes and boba teas. And their spicy fried chicken wings are better than finger lickin’ good. Just remember: They don’t do plastic here. Only cold hard cash.
