When will you reopen? We miss your hot pot. It was so good, the broth and all the vegetables. When they re-open, I would highly recommend this place

On my journey to find the best beef noodle soup, I stopped by this small mom and pop shop. A very small place supposedly serving up some very authentic Chinese food. We started with the Scallion Pancakes which were a hearty portion and very thick - not your typical thin flaky pancakes you normally get. The hot pot was not my favorite and would definitely pass on this. The noodles however were pretty good. They had a good chewy texture with a flavorful broth that was too spicy. Definitely a family owned spot with their service doing their best to make sure you are taken care of. Funny enough, the mom was trying to wait tables while helping her son with homework. Loved that! Decent neighborhood spot. Apps: Scallion Pancake Entrees: Spicy Beef Noodle Soup and Beef Hot Pot

I still go here for the food but just know the owner is really irritable and kinda mean. I usually just quickly order, don't make eye contact, and eat whatever they bring out, no questions asked. It's a little scary tbh.

Hidden gem. packs each bite with flavor. May have a wait, but worth your time. Portions are much larger than expected, as in multiple people can share each dish.

Their MAPO TOFU is Devine!!!!!! Definitely one the best in this area. I love their mapo tofu. The staff is funny and obviously hard workers.

Don't be fooled by the unassuming exterior and interior! Fahrenheit serves authentic Sichuan cuisine. It's not very big inside but dine in is available. Lots of foods but you can customize your spice level! They are known for their hot pot soup bowls, which has potatoes, noodles, veggies, fish balls, and a meat of choice (veggies, chicken, lamb, beef, or seafood) We also got the cold noodles and spicy Sichuan fish fillets. The cold noodles were really refreshing. The fish was a bit salty which obscured the spice a bit. They also have noodle soups and you can choose shaved, thick, or thin noodles. I'd come back next time if I'm craving some Asian comfort food!

Fun hot pot spot tucked under the basement of an office building! Lots of noodles and toppings to choose from! The #5 Garden Veggie Hot Pot loaded with veggies and soft tofu was fun to try and quite filling. While the unique glass wide noodles were charming, they were dense and bland and would have gone with another noodle choice - next time! I wish the broth was more flavorful. It would have been nice to have an extra plate or bowl to allow some of the veggies and noodles to cool off as the pot was scalding hot under the flame. Overall, I enjoyed the hot pot and impressed by the fresh veggies. The large fluffy Scallions Pancake was the highlight of our meal and between the 3 of us - we devoured it! Had a great time with friends and excited to come back!
