We had the pork trotters noodles and the oxtail bone broth noodles, and both were absolutely fantastic! The pork trotters were perfectly tender with a rich and flavorful sauce that paired so well with the noodles. The oxtail bone broth was deeply satisfying—comforting, savory, and packed with depth of flavor. The noodles were cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of chew. The portions were generous, and the presentation was appealing. Overall, a wonderful dining experience that I highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic and delicious noodle dishes. I’ll definitely be back to try more!

The Tang just reopened! Was missing my chicken soup 🥹

There are quite a few new dishes and the price was adjusted down. With so much meat and vegetables in their noodles this is such a bargain compared to the other $20+ shops. Flavors are good too. I liked the beef and the pig trotter noodles especially.

Tried some of their new cocktails - cucumber flavor is very unique and cool.

Will come back again.
