I really loved this dish and will recommend it to anyone who loves noodles, soups or wanting to try something a little different in Noodledom. The noodles are served in a separate dish from the broth hence "dry noodle" and you get all of the following in it: ground pork, thin sliced beef, shrimp, shrimp cake and fish cake. Nothing too exotic which for me is a great thing! The broth is a light stock made from chicken and is garnished with green onions. A plate of fresh veggies comes on the side as well...bean sprouts, lettuce, cilantro, jalapenos and fresh lemons. The idea is to mix it up into your own distinct concoction of flavors and ingredients AND if that's not enough, your table is fully equipped with other spices and sauces sure to please any condiment king or queen's taste buds. Now, about the noodles. You can get either the "yellow noodle" which is made from eggs and my personal favorite due to its al dente nature, or the "white noodle" which is made from rice and is softer in texture...use the noodle color code if you go...this reduces the language barrier issues you're sure to encounter.
Oh, and this dish is not on the menu. It's a secret that only special foodies like you are privy to. Well, not really but it's fun to think so. I'm not sure why it's not on the menu.
The service was great, and super fast...not much into chitchat but the owner did bring our food out promptly and with a smile. Oh, forgot to mention they have Chinese Pretzels there too which I'll need to remember to try the next time I'm in.
The logistics...there is some street parking available but you'll need to do some searching, OR you can park at Mark's Garage for an all day fee of $5 (do some shopping while you're down there...lotsa cute stores etc.) It's on the corner of Nuuanu and S. Beretania. The streets are busy (I went at 9am) with people checking out the street markets and there are interesting smells coming from some of the shops...fish, food related things, remember it is Chinatown. So, if you're sensitive to smells like I am, hold your breath. Eat up! $9.95.
I give this a personal rating of SUPERDUPER!
