My uncle took us to a restaurant that he visits a lot for dumplings and beef noodle soup; the owner makes almost everything from scratch and also has cool artwork that she sells hanging from the walls. Ken was excited to eat dumplings and beef noodle soup, I was in the mood for some cold dishes but also enjoyed everything that was brought out.

We started with some cold dishes: smoked duck and intestines:

My mom really liked the flavor of the intestines but I thought the flavor was a little too heavy (although that’s probably a good thing considering you’re eating intestines).

Shredded potatoes with vinegar:

The shredded potatoes were so good that we had to order a large plate because I finished the small plate on my own. My mom makes a similar dish where she blanches the potatoes and mixes it with vinegar and jalapenos for a crunchy and and flavorful cold side dish.

And veggies mixed with kobocha squash:

The hot dishes came out soon after we finished all of the cold dishes, including fried eggplant:

We also had a pickled soup with glass noodles and tofu that was very delicious:

The owner allowed us to stay past closing since my uncle is friends with her and definitely gave us great service (and tons of food!). We all enjoyed our meal there and left very happy.
