Why Travelers Love First Noodle

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.0 / 5.0(22 reviews)

The noodles is not bad but too big portion. Vegetables is salty. Lemon drink look like yakult suitable and ok for me. Dumplings can order, taste not bad. Good restaurant, no English speaking, but the menu got pictures, try the special potatoes, sweet and sour, and the NOODLES. They are made handmade, and old-school traditional style. Only the name is interesting. Pumpkin and spinach noodle is something different but didn't taste like it, just different colour? Biang noodle is very bland tho. Wasn't great enough for us to return again.
