Cozy place and fast wifi. Can literally study here.Well-balanced meal. Sauces of the noodles are flavorful and soup is bland. Some pieces of pork were too crispy.Total around $20/person

I went here for dinner with a friend, and it was a great little spot on Baldwin to have a warm bowl of noodles and soup. A great spot to eat solo as well as the booths give you enough privacy. There is also a space in the table to put your bag and jacket!I ordered the following:• pork bone soup with slow cooked garlic pork shoulder• crispy potato fries• beef skewersOverall, the food was great. Definitely come here on an empty stomach as the soup can fill you up quickly. The flavours were excellent!The atmosphere was cozy and warm. The lighting made me feel very comfortable and at home.
What a unique experience! A solitary dining experience with Yunnan specialties! If you come with 2 or 3 people, and get seats next to each other, you can still converse and "eat together". But if you're coming with a larger group it may be a bit tricky.We ordered the Kun-Ming Style Traditional Noodle with Gravy , which was amazing. Noodles were so fresh, ingredients were plentiful, and lots of great textures! It also comes with a little dish of picked vegetables and soup.Such a well thought out and gorgeous space. Highly recommend!

I usually don't eat out by myself because of how self-conscious I feel about it. When I heard about this place, I was intrigued by the "booth" setup. If you've been to Japan, this is pretty common there but literally unheard of here.The booths are very well set up for a private dining experience. There's a bell that calls for assistance (different buttons for water, order, bill), a phone holder that lets you prop up your phone to watch something while you eat, and all the utensils as well as paper towels you will need. Except for placing your order, you don't need to talk to anyone at all!But how did the food fare? I'm very pleased to say that my KunMing style dry noodles were amazingly delicious! If you can imagine Dan Dan noodles without the Szechuan peppers, this would be very similar in texture and taste. It's savory and salty, but in a good way. The fried egg and pickled radish served as great palate cleansers.I also liked the chilli potatoes appetizer I got. It was pretty cheap for the amount they served. While it was perfectly fried, there was a little too much chilli oil which made it too spicy for my taste. If you can't handle spice well like me, I would go for the regular one.To complete my meal I got the pu'er iced lemon tea but I could have done without it. It was a little too sweet, but it helped to balance out the general saltiness of the food.Service was friendly, though they might take awhile to come when it gets busy. I went about 30 min from closing and there weren't many people, but I still had to wait for 5 min every time I pushed the button.Overall, this is a very interesting dining experience perfect for introverts or anyone who wants to feel comfortable eating solo. The good food is an added bonus. However, don't expect 100% quietness as there will still be groups of people who come together and talk loudly across their booths. Of course they can't turn away groups, but keep in mind there could be noise around you even though this place is catered to solo diners.

Lovely experience overall. The staff were super friendly and service was fast. Each cubicle has napkins, utensils a place to sit your phone, and a drawer deep enough to fit a couple of bags. The table top is quite spacious too.The food was delicious. I got the chili with pork crisp rice noodles which were about $15. It came with a tea egg and pickled veggies which were amazing. I also got the oolong iced tea which I recommend. The portion size is large so I was able to get a take home container.The only nitpick I have is that depending on the person it might be a bit difficult to tuck in at the table. Since the drawer takes up space, there’s not much room for your legs to fit under the table.Overall incredible place. Perfect for introverts, and great food at good value. I’ll be coming back if I’m in the area.

perfect place to dine solo after a long day. excellent and informative service for vegetarians/vegans :) they removed eggs and bone broth from my dish and it was just as delicious. the clean and simple interior with the music adds to the pleasant atmosphere!Vegetarian options: they have buttons to request for help omitting animal products to make the dish vegetarian/vegan

If you're looking for a good solo dining experience this is the place!Love the vibe, the food was tasty, service was great. The store itself was pretty and clean. Even though you sit close to other people, you still get that privacy and space to yourself.I ordered the Kung-Ming Style Traditional Noodles with Gravy and it didn't taste as I expected. It was even more delicious. Good flavor but not too strong. You have chili oil on the side to add - make it more spicy if you want. I liked the side dishes it came with too. I also ordered the Chili Spice Potatoes and their home Iced Tea, both were really good.They have this little phone stand which I appreciated. And there is a huge hidden drawer to store even a large puffer jacket and my backpack.
