Delicious Noodles and More!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed the crossing bridge noodles, which had a rich broth and good toppings. I also highly recommend the confit mushroom salad – don't skip it!
The fried chicken and soft tofu dry noodles were also super good. My only note is that the food can be a little on the saltier side.

Awesome Noodles and Welcoming Staff
I'm so glad I stumbled into this spot several weeks back and tried their food. The noodle dish with soft tofu and rice noodles was warm and inviting, just like the staff here who make everyone feel welcome. The tasty and hearty broth base and fresh noodles, veggies, and mushrooms made this a very welcome new addition to my map of awesome noodles in the neighborhood.
They also have an awesome weekday lunch combo deal for students which I would be all over if I could still pass for a 20 year old 🤣.

Mixed feelings on spicy noodles
My experience at the restaurant involved trying the Sichuan spicy rice noodles soup with brisket and extra sliced meat. While the dish was good overall, I found it to be too heavy with cumin. Despite the three chili peppers indicated, it was not spicy enough for my preference.
The presentation of the addons on the crossing bridge was nice, but ultimately unnecessary as everything was added to the soup. I also ordered the garlic mushroom salad, which was delicious. For a drink, I had the honey peach green tea with Lychee jelly, but it was a little too sweet.
I would consider returning to try a different soup base, hoping to avoid the cumin. The atmosphere was quiet and conducive to conversation, and the service was excellent.

Delicious noodles and sweet owner!
My experience at the restaurant was great! Although there were many soup options, I wasn't in the mood for soup, so I opted for the dry noodles, which were delish and paired perfectly with the beef skewers. The prices were also pretty affordable.
What truly made the experience special was the owner, who was soooooo sweet 🥹. He generously gave us free sesame balls and was incredibly accommodating throughout our visit.

Unpleasant Experience with Food and Atmosphere
My experience at the restaurant was quite disappointing. The dish stand was oily and not well cleaned, which was off-putting. Furthermore, there were many mosquitoes inside, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere.
To top it off, the food did not taste good. Sorry, no next time.

Overpriced Gimmick with Little Meat
My experience at this restaurant was alright, but I found the presentation, specifically the "bridge" for the ingredients, to be a gimmick. They could have simply served all the ingredients directly. The meal was very overpriced for what you get, and there was not much meat.
The food itself received a 3 out of 5 rating.

Exceptional Addition to Richmond's Food Scene!
This restaurant is such an amazing addition to the Richmond food scene! Each soup broth is really well curated and carries its own story depicted in its rich flavor. We ordered the Yunnan Spicy Little Pot Rice Noodle and Pickled Pepper Rice Noodle yet were still debating about which was better.
It was just that good! Will be sure to come back again and try more of the broths. To top it off, the service was extraordinary!
Food/tea came out fast and hot with detailed explanations about all the ingredients. The owner and his staff are all so kind and really appreciate you all for making our night! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and look forward to coming to dine here again!
Also, bring an appetite, each bowl is very filling!
