    Truly delicious meal in a very cool space with wonderful service. I went with 3 others who had also been to Potluck Club — it was expressed that both spots were equally wonderful. I love that the menu is on the smaller side. Everything was super flavorful and ideal for sharing with a larger group (we were 4). We’ll be back!

    Excellent value for unique dining in the neighborhood. The dry beef noodles were a good pick. A little spicy but not too much. It’s the only place I know of on the east coast to have a Taiwan beer. The stools at the tables felt like what you’d sit on at street food vendors in Taiwan. Will definitely return.
