DRUNKIN DUCK NOODLES!!! Hands down the best noodles Ive ever eaten in my LIFE. The spice was perfection. Savory complexed flavors with a hint of sweetness. The service was great the atmosphere was clean, calm and peaceful although I could tell the lunch crown must have been madness.

I absolutely love this place. I have been coming here for years now and I have never been disappointed with either my dine in service or my take out food. I almost always get the chicken pad Thai with extra peanut sauce and fried spring rolls... Cant go wrong with either, and the portions are just right.
