The staff were friendly and the Asian vibes were strong (thematic teapot, lighting, decor on walls). Overall it was a gentle experience but I feel the seafood could be better quality but it is difficult to find quality seafood in Texas.

The service is attentive & helpful that know their menu well. I ordered the chicken fried noodles. They were so well balanced in flavor with a smooth peanut butter garlicky sauce. They are delicious! We also had the rainbow dumplings, which is cool because you get to taste a variety of flavors within them. Only weird thing about those, was that we ordered them fried & they were face down on our plate not showing their colors or the craftsmanship of their work (sad). BUT, they are SO good. My husband ordered sweet & sour chicken & each tender was crisp & yet covered with that sweet & sour savory sauce with lots of pineapple. All in all, this place should be packed & is a McAllen keepsake! Loved it...

They give you a generous amount of side dishes, I recommend trying every side dish at least once. Food comes out very quickly. Good service overall. The Tteokbokki was perfect. A nice blend of spicy and sweet, the fish cakes were personally my favorite part. I just wish they gave you a side of rice with it because it leaves behind so much sauce and I know it would taste so good if you dumped a bowl of rice in it. Jajangmyeon was also very good. Lots of sauce and veggies and a few bits of meat. The flavor was savory, rich, and a bit sweet. Overall very good, though i do wish it came with more noodles as I was left with a lot of sauce and onions. Overall I had a good experience. I will be coming again!

Ramen was spot on, they offered a boiled egg and child friendly chopsticks for my girls which they loved and were easy to use. The tables have everything you need already.
