Pork (9/10) and spicy beef noodle soup (9/10) were both amazing. Noodles were very tender and fresh. Flavours very authentic. Pork flavour itself tasted like 鸭脖王 flavours!!

They make pretty good Hunan cuisine noodles. Good portion, the amount of meat was very generous. Our favourite was the pork strip noodles. I didn't end up taking a photo, that one is not spicy. There's a serve station for cutlery and vinegar etc, very convenient. We all got full from the amount of the food we ordered. Recommend!

It’s an almost self serving restaurant that you sign in at a terminal to order and pay. You also serve your own utensils and extra sharing bowls and plates at the station. It’s making sense to collect tips because the servers will bring your order and clean after you are done. The ambiance is pleasant and elegantly designed and very spacious. Only complaint is you have no option to control how spicy your food would be.

Authentic Chinese Hunan flavor. Consistent. I’ve been coming since last year when I learnt about this place. The service is mostly self-serve except serving food, so it’s not much different from a normal restaurant where the only extra service is getting water.

First time visiting yesterday, and I had a great experience! The overall vibe of the restaurant is pretty chill. It’s semi self-serve—you place your order through their system, grab your own utensils, and they bring the food to your table. Once you’re done, the staff takes care of cleaning up, which is a nice touch. I tried one of the noodle dishes, and the broth was really flavorful—rich, but not too salty or bland like some other places I’ve been to. The food was solid overall and came out pretty quickly. Definitely a good spot to grab a quick lunch or satisfy a noodle craving. Would come back!

The 12 Spice Rice Noodle soup was such a delight that we have returned 3 times in the last couple of weeks just for that! It’s the perfect winter soup. The Thai Pepper beef was spicy and delicious. The Mei Cai was nice, I’d like to try it again but preferred the Thai chili beef better head to head. The pork and pickled green bean soup was tasty too. The staff was nice but due to the kiosk ordering I didn’t really interact with them too much. While I can’t speak to the authenticity, I have been told by people who can that they enjoy it!
