I have walked by many times and this place is usually packed. Tonight, I had a good opportunity to slide right in. Order on the big screen and then wait. Broth was delicious, very generous with meat. Noodles seemed a little undercooked but still ok.

The downfall was the condiment tray. It was uncovered. I'll say no more, except: get a cover, OR replace very, very often. I only added the bottled spicy oil.

Sat at a community table which wasn't tidied as often as I would have liked but still a great space.

This noodle place offers limited seating (all stools) and is very popular, so it's best to arrive early. I reached the restaurant just after 5:30 pm on a Friday evening, and within minutes of placing my order, the place was full. All orders are made via a self-service kiosk, and I chose the signature 12-hour beef noodles with Szechuan pepper (there are options for extra meat, noodles, or no fresh chilli). The noodles are not the traditional kind you’d find in Taiwan; they are more of a dry, chewy variety in sauces rather than broth. They are nice but slightly too salty towards the end. I also ordered a homemade milk tea, which was perfect to accompany the noodles.

The highlight, though, was definitely the mango shaved ice; it was soft and milky, paired perfectly with the mangos, passion fruit, and lime juice. The perfect way to end my meal, especially in this hot weather! Additionally, I’d like to praise this particular male staff member for his excellent customer service – he kindly asked me at the beginning whether I would like to order later (in case the ice cream melted) and kept an eye on me so he could serve the ice cream as soon as I was close to finishing the noodles. Very commendable customer service!

The food was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend this place. We ordered three different noodle dishes and every single one was great. Nothing disappointed us and everything tasted amazing. I especially recommend the mango smoothie, it is a must try.

I got the traditional beef noodle soup which was advertised as a deep rich broth but it didn’t hit the spot for me. I made it more flavourful with all their self serve condiments. Other than that I’d say the restaurant is good value for money, nice atmosphere and the staff were friendly 🙂

Super quick service - we ordered on the kiosk and got our foods to go in about 5-10 min maybe. The chicken noodles were pretty good for the price, chicken was especially tender and flavorful, noodles were a bit dry though and could use more of the sauce. Good portion size too, will be coming back ☺️

Food was incredibly tasty, especially the 12h marinated beef with szechuan pepper, it was sooo tender, there was barely any chew! I also loved the soft shell crab bao and mango shaved ice cream. All the food was such good value for money even though it's in the heart of Covent Garden. Staff was so so nice and helpful. I'd definitely recommend.
