I live right around the block and I remember always seeing people lined up down the street to come to this place. I avoided it for 2 years because of all the hype until I finally decided to drop in for lunch this past weekend. As usual, the place was packed. We didn't have to wait too long until we were seated at the bar. Our server and the hostess were both very nice. I pretty much volunteered to give up my vegetarian diet just so I could eat at this place (if you're not ok with eating pork, pork and more pork, then you might not want to go). After hearing so much about the pork buns, I decided to go with that. It was a complete rip-off for $9. Anywhere else, something like that would have cost $4. There were only two, each around 2-3 bites each, meaning I paid $4.50 for each one. I do have to admit that the pork was tender and delicious. My fiancee got an actual noodlebowl, which was the same price and much more worth it. I had some of hers and it was decent. The broth itself was very, very salty but the flavors were good. I'm glad I came here to say I've tried it, but unless I'm dying for some super-salty, slightly over-priced pork dishes, I won't be back.
Pros: Good if you like pork
Cons: Small place, very salty food, mostly pork
