"If it's your first visit, get the beef bone biang biang noodles knife-cut. The braised rib alone, tender enough to fall off the bone, would be worth ordering on its own. Want something lighter on the wallet? The spicy beef noodle soup with the flat noodle is $10.99 and well balanced. Ask for your noodles thin, wide, or flat depending on how much chew you want."
