Stephen P.Stephen Perle: According to the NYTimes: Tingly cumin lamb; vegan noodles with mock duck; Taiwanese beef noodle soup; tiger salad.

Albert T.Albert Tong: Get the Tingly cumin lamb with Sichuan peppercorns, chili oil, red onions, celery and herbs. Flavors are a bit more interesting than the beef noodle soup (which is still fantastic).

Bernadette B.Bernadette Baum: Well, the noodles were indeed Very Fresh and handmade in front of you. The cumin lamb was excellent, better with soup than without (without was a little sour). Excellent and warm service too!

Christian D.Christian Dickmann: Great atmosphere, great food, good service. Can't ask for more. I had the General Tso chicken and it was excellent. Interior decoration was unusually nice which I appreciated.
