Not my first time here. I always enjoy the food, very tasty & flavorful. The portion & great & decently priced. Service is fast & staff is nice. As I said, I've been a few times & I'll be returning for many more meals.

The Dan Dan noodles were savory & the handmade noodles were a delight. Would definitely order this again

The Pork intestines noodles was savory & there was a bit of numbing spice. As someone who doesn't like numbing spice, this was still enjoyable because it was just the right amount of numbing to still enjoy.

The chicken was juicy, savory-type of spicy & the sliced cucumbers underneath brings the perfect freshness to balance this dish.

I love the decor & the service was great!

Je me suis régalé avec le combo poulet du Hainan. La viande était très savoureuse ( ??) & c'était aussi une bonne idée d'accompagner le plat avec un potage légèrement parfumé (? ?) . Le service est impeccable. L'ambiance est détendue. Les tables sont suffisamment espacées pour déguster ces bons plats en toute quiétude.

Hidden gem downtown! I passed in front of this place sooo many times & never knew what I was missing.

Went for lunch with collegues. We shared 2 starters & 2 meals. Mouth watering chicken, fried chicken with sechuan spices, the beef rice bown & the dandan noodles. Service was quick, everything was great!!

Favorites were the fried chicken & the dandan but you shouldn't sleep on the rice bowl, the crispy rice at the bottom is worth it.
