Hole in the wall place that serves Fuzhou street food at value prices. The mince meat stuffed fishball is quintessentially Fuzhou, so is the mini wonton. The peanut noodles is so so. I prefer my noodles less soggy. The rice noodle soups are spot on. The morning breakfast items are a cheap way to prep for the day in Fuzhou. More

A cozy spot serving authentic Fujian cuisine. The fish balls, mee sua noodles, and other dishes are flavorful and comforting, just like home-style cooking. The prices are reasonable and the service is friendly — a great place for a warm, satisfying meal.

To start off when I walked in I was placed my order and the person at the front was patient and welcoming. The food cost me $8.50 which is a really good price for the portion of food. The food didn’t take long to come out and was ready to eat as soon as I got it. The fried pork dumplings were crispy and fresh. Every bite had a burst of flavor. It was my first time trying peanut noodles and it had a subtle peanut taste to it. It was creamy which I liked. Overall it was really good. Just make sure to mix up the gravy when you eat it. The atmosphere was small but they have seats for people sit and enjoy the food. CASH ONLY. (@jefeeatss On Instagram for food content)

Came here because I was craving some food from my childhood. Slightly disappointed on the 2 fried items that I got not very flavorful. The guobian was also lacking in flavor. I ordered it with clam but they forgot the clam and had to add it after, I suspect that’s why the flavor was not great. The peanut noodle and the fujianese style wontons were pretty good. If I had only ordered those 2 items I would have given it a 4. Overall it’s ok but there are other better options for fujianese food in Chinatown.

The peanut sauce was very watered down, and the scallion rings tasted like a plain donuts, it was just soft(not crunchy and soft as I was expecting), it had a very light taste of egg. Couldn't taste any scallions. The worst part was that all the peanut sauce spill into the bag, and dripped on the floor😳 of the place I was visiting, very embarrassing when it was pointed out to me.😤 this is a easy fix, either changed the container of the noodles, or put the peanut sauce into a smaller container, it would be good to add hot sauce with it, to actually give it some flavor. The scallions that was in the noodles was interesting, because the small amount area it touched was actually tasted good, Sadly it was only 1 bite(if they had add more scallions it would've been a better experience. The peanut sauce that I was able to salvage was only enough for 1 of my noodles. So I putted into the vermicelli one. It was like spaghetti, but softer(sadly, it was no help, the peanut sauce was too watered down. A lite faint taste of peanut, and that's it). The vermicelli noodles also on all 4 side was dried out(i don't know how this happened, it was in the bag the whole time), pretty uncomfortable eating (like eating uncooked noodles). The yellow noodles did have a better tasted even with no peanut sauce left, very surprising.

FuZhou dumpling is pretty good but not the most tasty one. Steam pork bun has very thick skin, not the Shanghai type
