Address:

36 Villa Ortigas II, Granada St.,
Quezon

Tel no: (63 2) 724-8388

THis noodle house has been there for more than 10 years already. And you can see this fact base on their signage..which still has their own 6 digit tel no, the interiors which are really outdated.

I ate here once when they initially opened. like it, but never had the chance to eat here till now. Plsce still looked the same . No significant changes.

Pork and Casbbage dumplings- mien-02mien-08Freshly cooked, served hot. Filling was substansial, tasted great. no fatty extenders. great with the dipping saucesmien-01

Shrimp and Chives Dumplings-mien-06mien-07 i was surpirsed by the contents of these dumplings. You can see the whole shrimp, and not the chopped shrimps we use to find in other places here. Very very good. Has this pan fried. the pork variant we had it steamed.

Beef tendon Noodles- mien-03 the noodles unlike the noodle houses we are used to, like north park, ling nam etc etc.. are fat just like a japanese udon. These noodle are of the taiwanese kind, which you can also find when you order noodles in Ersao. its chewy and very filing. Beef was very tender and the broth very flavorful.

Seafood Chami-mien-05 one of the dishes that is popular in this resto. Chani.. meaning pan-fried.  this dish can be a bit oily… but otherwise it was very good. It was loaded with seafood and veggies, the noodles were cooked just right.

Overall, the place still maintain its quality in regard to their food even after all these years. the place really needs a facelift though, but i guess with people still flocking to this noodle house till late in the evening, i think the owners and the customers are happy.  So i guess, why cant something that aint broke right??  to those who havent try this place.. come and enjoy their food.
