I lived near this part of town in the 70’s. I remember it was quiet and there was a bowling alley. The bowling alley has closed. Replaced by apartments. It looks like a huge apartment complex is being built across the street. Should be lots of business for The Nood Bar when complete.
Potstickers had a crunchy outer shell and full of veggies.
I prefer protien in my potstickers. I would not get this again.
Milky pork broth won ton soup. I liked the flavor of the pork broth. Disappointed this dish does not include noodles.
Also the won tons was a single shrimp with a won ton wrapper. I prefer a mix of pork and shrimp.
Cha shu pork appeared to be a piece of pork belly marinated with soy sauce. Pork was very tender and had lots of soy sauce based flavor. Fresh bok choy had a delicious earthy flavor and my favorite part of this dish.
2nd visit I tried the salt and pepper fried chicken wings and pork yakisoba. The wings had crunchy skin and were tender without being dry. I got them without garlic and they had a mild flavor. I prefer Golden Chopsticks version.
Pork yakisoba had a ton of yakisoba seasoning and I was very thirsty afterwards. Pork was tender and I loved the cabbage. Pretty good dish. If I ordered it again I think I’d add shrimp.
Server was nice and the food came out fairly quickly. I love the Bruce Lee homage.

Sounds like a mixed bag. Would you go back again?
No. There are places I like the dishes better at.
The potstickers look good but too bad there’s not a selection of fillings. Sounds like this place is missing the mark in multiple ways.
I tend to prefer traditional style restaurants to fusion ones. It’s unlikely you can improve on Mexican Coke in a glass bottle. Like the potstickers I just want either chicken or pork in there mixed with some cabbage.
