Finally stopped by the new-ish food hall and ordered a quick lunch to-go from Hunan Noodle (in the…read morefar back left corner). I got the classic beef noodle soup 經典牛肉湯粉, which was very delicious. The beef was generally good, quite tender overall, although some pieces were a bit harder to chew (more of the tendon or sinew). The broth was very rich and fragrant, and was a bit spicier than I expected, even though I ordered mild. The price point was great, too -- the portion size was so big and filling that it probably could have been two smaller meals. I'll definitely try to come back and try some of their other dishes!

UPDATED (for 2 additional visits) - It is our fav ramen spot in LIC/Astoria!…read moreAmbiance (5/5): The establishment has a very sleek interior with an open, welcoming layout. Although close to other tables, when I dined there was no one nearby. There is also bar seating in the front. Service (5/5): I came on a weekend night at 7:30p and there was no wait. Tonkotsu ramen (5/5): Pro move: ask for the thicker noodles (pic is original dish of thin noodles) This was a superb bowl of ramen! The broth is very umami with tons of depth, flavors, and creaminess. Noodles are the straight kind which has a little less bounce than I usually like but still plenty portioned to enjoy. The bowl comes with a lovely half soft boiled egg. The two large pieces of pork char sui were great--tender and flavorful. Reasonably priced bowl at $18 with some additional toppings like wood ear mushrooms, bamboo, green onions, and narutomaki. Definitely coming back here again to try their other bowls!! Pork belly buns (5/5): If you are already getting the pork belly in the ramen, this can be skipped since it's the same meat. However, the sauce was good and the meat is tender. Crab croquette (4/5): It tasted fresh and consistency of a normal croquette-- crunchy on the outside with a softness from potato on the inside. The light panko seasoning was a nice touch. It also comes with a small side of salad. Wagyu (5/5) - thin pieces of wagyu were very fresh and flavorful. The broth feels very soothing and lighter as it was but not as rich as the tonkotsu. I loved the pickled cucumber and cabbage. The thick noodles are perfectly bouncy and chewy. Shoyu Duck (4/5) - Light broth as I did not taste the undertones of duck in the broth.

I ordered the beef tripe noodle soup (non-spicy). The tripe was really tender and well braised, and although the broth looked light, it had a subtle sweetness and plenty of flavor. It wasn't heavy or overly rich, and the whole bowl was just really comforting. The Wan Za Noodles were probably my favorite. I haven't really seen this style at other places before. It's a mixed noodle dish with minced meat, greens, and beans that you mix together yourself. Every bite had a different combination of flavors, and the sauce was just right--not too dry and not greasy. Overall, I really liked how satisfying everything felt without being heavy. Nothing was overly oily, salty, or rich. It's the perfect spot for when you want a good, comforting meal without making it feel like a big production.

Fer brings the fire in all the best ways possible. The Dan Dan noodles with the supreme beef on mild spice was perfect. It still made me sweat but in a good way.

We weren't rushed or anything but well taken care of.

The particular weekend we went (July 5), the air conditioning unit was broken so we were melting inside. Wooden benches and stools with no backs were not comfortable. Service (4/5): There was only one server bustling back and forth. She did a great job in getting orders, refilling waters, and closing out for just her. There were times we had to flag her down. Spicy chicken wings (5/5): Perfect exterior skin crunch with not too much breading. The sauce was light and not overpowering. Deluxe (5/5) and TanTan (5/5) were both very flavorful. Slightly preferred the Tan Tan more because it had a kick and more spice. I requested some extra chili oil for the Deluxe to give it a little more flavor. However, I felt like the broth was too salty. Pork slices were thin was flavored through with not too much fat to the pieces, so it wasn't tender or rich. I love the bounce and chew of the noodles. Definitely one of the better ramen shops in the neighborhood.

However, its tiny dining room often means long wait times and limited seating. The signature chicken paitan broth is slow-cooked for 8 hours to create a rich, creamy, and flavorful milky soup. Locals highly recommend the Kuro ramen (featuring rich black garlic oil) and the Deluxe ramen. They also serve a highly rated Veggie Miso. Appetizers shine here. The Garlic Edamame and Takoyaki are fan favorites, and the Chicken Karaage is a must-try. Authentic and cozy. The space is incredibly small with limited seating and does not offer outdoor dining. Expect long wait times for a table during peak dinner and weekend hours. This food place that offers delicious savory broth paired with springy, bouncy noodles is definitely worth a try.

I went for early dinner and not too many people yet, which was nice. Staff were friendly. The server/front desk guy kept checking to make sure my water was filled, but I didn't drink much water because I had soup already. Appreciated it though. Good service. How's the food? I tried a few items: pork xiao long bao, shrimp and luffa xiao long bao, Shanghai-Style Shepherds Purse Wonton soup and liver and kidney noodles. The xiao long bao and the noodles were decent. I couldn't taste a big difference between the ones with just pork and the ones with shrimp, pork and luffa, but plain pork comes in 8 pc and the other is 4pc, so just pork is probably fine. The shepherds purse wontons were just okay. It's a slightly thicker skin than most other wontons. The broth is mild. If I had to choose between xiao long bao and wonton, then the xiao long bao was much better. They have chili oil, vinegar and soy sauce at each table. I used the chili oil for a little bit of a kick. I had the iced sweetened soy milk too. That was pretty good. Definitely a good add to the meal. Overall, a good place to eat at if you wanted to gather and chat with some friends in LIC. They didn't rush the table. The food all came out so fast. I ate in under an hour.

Service is also quick. Their menu mainly focuses on comforting, sauerkraut dishes--you choose a broth, a protein, and you can do an add-on. Think of hot pot in a bowl. It's comforting, portions are huge, and quality is also solid. I got the tomato broth with dried beef slices and overall thought it was okay, but I think the biggest factor was that I chose the wrong protein (I mistook dried beef slices for the beef brisket you typically get from hot pot). Would love to come back and try their fish!
