The rice noodles themselves are done decently well, and the classic Guilin noodle was very flavorful and had plenty of goods, be it meat, peanuts, or pickled vegetables. The purple yam pancake was also delicious, with a slight crunch from the sesame-coated, pan-fried exterior balanced with the chewy glutinous rice cake (mochi-like) interior and sweet purple yam filling.
Unfortunately the good ended there for me. If other appetizers, we tried the shrimp shumai and the salt and pepper calamari. The shrimp shumai was really underwhelming and might as well have been from a the frozen supermarket section, and the salt and pepper calamari was incredibly salty.
We also tried the hot and sour beef mifen soup, which actually had similar toppings as the classic Guilin mi fen, but I personally didn't like the hot and sour soup, which was definitely on the sour side of the hot and sour spectrum.
I suppose if you were to come, stick to the rice noodles and skip the appetizers, and only get the hot and sour if you like hot and sour soup.
