General Notes

Restaurant in downtown San Leandro specializing in rice noodles and clay pot rice. The food is quite good, definitely worth a try. They also have some interesting (weekday lunch I believe) specials where you can get an extra appetizer / soup at a discounted price.


Dishes Tasted

  • ★★★☆ cured pork + salted fish clay pot rice -- Not a big fan of the salted fish, but overall the clay pot rice was done really well. Rice is perfectly cooked with the perfect amount of crisp on the bottom. It's so intensely savory and satisfying to eat. Would definitely try this with one of their other flavor combinations.
  • ★★★☆ dry-tossed rice noodle -- the flavor is excellent, perfect balance of chili / peanut paste. The texture of the rice noodle is good. The beef stuff is okay
  • ☆☆☆☆ mouthwatering chicken -- this was easily one of the worst 口水鸡 I've ever had. The flavor is just awful. It's a little dry, but not too bad.
