马马虎虎/Mamahuhu aka soso noodles
As someone who has lived in China for a decade, with experience in both cheffing and eating local cuisine, I had high hopes for this Chinese hand pulled noodle place. However, my visit left much to be desired, and I wouldn't be eager to return.
The experience started on a disappointing note with the cucumber salad. Instead of a fresh and crisp delight, it was served in a soggy and pickle-like manner, not at all the way it should be presented. The noodles themselves had a decent texture, but the broth was lacking depth and complexity, leaving it rather ordinary.
One saving grace was the nice spicy sauce, which brought some flavor to the overall experience. The dry beef stood out as a highlight, and would pair exceptionally well with a glass of beer. The shredded potatoes were also commendable, adding a pleasant touch to the meal. However, the green beans dish failed to impress and left much to be desired.
On the service front, the staff was friendly, which is always appreciated in any dining establishment.
While this Chinese hand pulled noodle place has potential, it falls short of the standards you might expect from an authentic establishment in china, let alone stand out as a hot spot worth frequenting, but this is dubai.
Overall, my experience at this restaurant was just okay. If you happen to be in the area and are craving noodles, it might satisfy your hunger.
