I happened upon this by chance and ordered the picture I pointed to size small with a spice of 3 (out of 5). This was REALLY spicy! The flavor was exciting and the textures were good at first, but as soon as my mouth started uncontrollably tingling and I started sweating, the flavor disappeared. It was just noodles and ground beef with chili oil. If I came again, I'd add some of the vinegar they had sitting by the table to add some acidity. It needed more flavor to accompany the spice. The iced tea they served for free with it was helpful. I couldn't finish my bowl it was so spicy. Maybe a 2 next time on spice.

A restaurant where you can choose between dan dan noodles with sesame seeds, which you often see in Japan, and Sichuan/Chengdu style without sesame seeds and without soup.

Chengdu style numbness: 4 spiciness: 4.
Spiciness: 4 but not super spicy.
However, even though it tastes delicious mixed with numbing pepper, I can't stop sweating or using my chopsticks.

If you add rotten milk from the counter, it will give it a richer flavor, making it similar to tandan noodles with sesame seeds. !

Black vinegar and garlic go really well together, so it might not be enough if it's average.
I mixed the leftover meat, oil, and small rice to complete the dish.
