Noodles King

This new restaurant really seems to be struggling, so I will try to be as kind and merciful as humanly possible in my review.
I am happy to report that the quality of the food here is perceptibly high. We ordered the Dry Noodle with Beef in Special Sauce and Pork & Leek Boiled Dumplings. Based on their doughiness, we concluded that the dumpling skins and noodles were clearly hand-​made, and not commercially produced. *Thumbs up*.
Although the dumplings were satisfying, at $ 6.99 for 10, they were not competitively priced (considering LaoXi offers 15 – 16 for $ 6.75).
Additionally, I would strongly suggest to the restaurant that they include soy sauce and sesame oil in their condiment trays — which, during our visit, only contained black vinegar, chili sauce, salt, and pepper. This limitation adversely affected the enjoyment potential of the dumplings. *Thumbs down*.
Similarly, although the noodles were not bad overall, the heavy presence of black pepper may have been a bit too much. *Thumbs down*.
Parking spaces are plentiful in the rear. *Thumbs up*
Customer seating is reasonably comfortable, even for extended durations. *Thumbs up*.
The level of service was somewhat on the absentee side, but no more so than your average Chinese restaurant. *Shrug*.
After taking care of the check, I apparently received a 12% promotional discount, due to submitting payment via cash. *Thumbs up*.
The work of art on the wall to our right was truly terrifying (see attached photo), and posed many questions that I probably don’t want the answer to. Why did the family appear to be sleeping on concrete blocks? Why does the father appear to be clutching what is ostensibly a murder-​suicide letter? Why does the dog lack *eyes*?
But I digress. All things considered, I would be open to returning here to try out their other menu items. The BBQ chicken wings in particular look utterly delicious.
