Lani Conway favors the dan dan noodles, describing a rich, nutty broth and numbing spice that remains balanced. Her other suggestions include wonton soup, Chongqing noodles and spicy beef soup.

Keep the context

The short review is a positive snapshot from 2023. It does not establish current portions, wait times or the exact level of heat in today’s order.

How to use it when planning

Choose a bowl around the flavor and heat you want rather than the longest list of toppings. Ask about the specific preparation if you want a gentler meal.

Before turning a review into a plan
