The noodles has a great balance of savory and tangy flavors. They serve a good portion of chewy, smooth rice noodles, with a clear delicate broth on the side. I like to eat this dish dry, so just a splash of the broth is enough for me to mix the noodles and toppings together. Their toppings are the best part, pickled beans, crispy soy beans, crispy pork & more! I also love their fried pork intestines. The restaurant also serves is a shared space with In Cha bubble tea I tried this Honeydew yogurt drink and it was awful. Had to throw out two of those.

The tea was delicious with a sweet milky flavor and chewy bubbles. The duck, was ok, the flavor was good but it was too much work to eat. There were lots of bits and pieces of bone and I had to constantly pick in my teeth. The noodles were nice and chewy. The noodles came with a broth, it was okay. I would come here again for teas!

We ordered the peanut butter noodle ($3), cabbage pork dumplings (10 for $5.50) and the wonton soup Fuzhou style ($3). It was definitely filling for such a low cost. The peanut butter noodle was very standard but wished there was more sauce. We ordered the cabbage pork dumplings but they gave us the leek pork by accident. It was still good though and that's coming from someone who isn't a fan of leek. Skin was very smooth and it wasn't too thick. I didn't try the wonton soup but my friend said it was ok. You order by the register and can sit anywhere you want and the worker brings you the food. There's plenty of seating but it gets crowded during peak hours. There is a sauce station by the register with extra bowls and utensils. Place is pretty clean and the worker was very nice. Tip is not mandatory as well. Will definitely be back to try the hand pulled noodle soup!

I ordered the house special with hand pulled noodles, beef brisket with peel noodles, and fish all soup. Service was pretty fast, everything came out within 10 mins. They have a station where you can add cilantro and pickled mustard greens in it! (My absolute favorite). They also have a house made chili oil and it definitely enhanced the flavor of the noodle soups. The house special noodle soup is packed with beef, tripe, tendon, 1 egg, and spinach. The soup is not overly salty and it was very filling. The beef brisket with peel noodles had a great bounce QQ to the noodles. My most favorite thing were the fish balls!!! They are filled with a meat filling that's on the sweeter side. I added white pepper into my soup with cilantro too. Total bill was under $30!!!!

My beef stew noodle soup ($6.50) came with a piping hot broth, dark in color and very salty. The noodles were chewy and nicely separated, but a bit too thin. Plenty of pickled mustard greens, which I love. Unfortunately the meat was not of great quality: even though the lean pieces were tasty, most pieces had a lot of rubbery tendons attached to them. I actually tried to eat them anyway, but there's only that much chewing on rubber you can do before saying "Ok; it's rubber". The less-than-memorable noodle soup combined with a "C" health rating will probably prevent me from coming here again.

When H858 first opened a few years back, I took the ho hum approach and decided to join in on the…read moreparade when the hype was over. The place was bright, large, and almost trendy compared to the divey noodle joints around the corner. Even after 6 months of their grand opening, like every other proud Chinese business still kept up their ribbons and congratulatory bamboo plants out like they had just opened the day before. I went in there craving rice and ended up eating a mediocre yangzhou fried rice (when they still served rice anyway). Fast forward nearly half a year later, I come (#1) in here close to midnight with a few friends after hitting up a nearby karaoke joint and we're all starving. I went for a $5 beef noodle soup (niu rou ban mian) with a side of pan fried dumplings (guo tie) for another $3, and I had myself a fabulous late night meal without spending more than $10 (tip included). This place had turned a new leaf and I was a new fan. The lesson? Always get a noodle dish and focus on what they do best. My initial time here was like ordering a cheeseburger at a Japanese restaurant (#2) - completely unnecessary. The noodles are indeed good here, especially the handpulled variety. Texture wise, they're on par with some of the better joints in the neighborhood. I sometimes will order fish ball wonton soup (yu dan hun tun mian) and eat it with a side of fried dumpling (#3). Another winner here is their zha jiang mian, a meat sauce consisting of minced pork and soy, slathered up in the noodles for a hearty dish that doesn't run one for more than $6. Service is pretty good for a Chinatown spot, they're fast and efficient, without the snappiness or the attitude. There is no need to share tables here - they've got plenty of space and are very accommodating to large groups. I wish I could say the same most of the dives. Lastly, while the English name is H858 (I'm not sure why. Even the Canto number scheme is going against them), the actual name is "fu sheng la mian guan" or Fook Sing Handpulled Noodle Place. Wait, what the Fook? Ok, we'll roll with H858. ______________ (#1) Ok, stumbled. (#2) Unless that burgermeat is kobe. (#3) Unlike the pan fried / guo tie variety, this one is almost like Korean mandoo gui, or deep fried dumpling.

Growing up, we had pan fried noodles all the time. They're harder to find now, and when I do find them, they're often disappointing. Not here. The shrimp pan fried noodles were excellent. Perfectly done and full of flavor. The crab & pork soup dumplings were delicious, and the fish cake & fish ball noodle soup totally hit the spot. Portions are generous! I had enough for lunch and dinner the next day, which is always a win. I've passed this place so many times and I'm so glad I finally gave them a try. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. Also, I have to mention the packaging. Some of the best I've ever seen for delivery. Each soup dumpling came in its own separate plastic cup (if you've ordered these before, you know how easily they can arrive broken with soup everywhere). The pan fried noodle broth was sealed and packed separately from the noodles, and the soup was packaged thoughtfully as well. Everything arrived intact and fresh. Highly recommend!

The restaurant looked like a regular bbq place with meats hanging at the window so what can go wrong? Maybe it got better since my last visit a couple years ago... WRONG! When I ordered a piece of lean uncut roast pork, the counter guy tried to give me a fatty piece. I rejected it and asked for another piece. It wasn't until I got home, I discovered that he hid the fatty end part of the same piece at the bottom of the container. The pork was tasteless; bbq flavor was weak. It was clearly not as good compared to my favorite place, King's Kitchen. Definitely will not go back again.

When I am in Chinatown shopping for food, this is where I come to get bao zi: nice and fragrant mantou (bun), with a delicious, plump pork filling, for just $.60/each. I've never been disappointed by the bao zi I got from this place (they can also be frozen, and keep very well). They also have food on display on a table, although it is wrapped in saran wrap and I can't tell whether it is coming from their kitchen or from another restaurant. The menu on display is also in Chinese only. Communication is difficult with the people who work at this place, since even my gf who speaks Mandarin has a hard time understanding their dialect. Nevertheless they've always been nice and friendly.

And for just $0.80 each, I think that's a steal. Def stop by if you find yourself in the area! These aren't your typical meat buns from the more traditional Canto/TW bakeries. We went late in the afternoon so they only had these meat buns left, they mentioned that they had other flavors earlier in the day but I wasn't paying attention.. oops! Cash-only, not sure if they speak English as my mom spoke to them in FZ dialect. Also the name of this place suggests that it's a restaurant, but I don't recall seeing any seating space.. it's more just a grab-and-go type of place. Next time, I'll probably get more, throw them in the freezer, and steam them when I'm in the mood so I don't have to make the trek to BK every time.
