Thank you for your delicious noodles The vegetables were colorful, and the plating was really well done! I also love spicy food, so I was happy that the staff asked about the amount of spicy oil and adjusted it to my preference The noodles were chewy in a way I really liked. In NYC, it is common to pay over $20 for noodles, so being able to enjoy a meal like this around $17 felt like a great deal.
