Fen Classic Guilin Rice Noodles

Would give a 7/10 for authenticity. Price is reasonable. pretty good option when you miss the Guilin rice noodles.

Had to try a bowl of their namesake classic. Pleasantly surprised they serve the broth on the side. I was in the mood for dry noodle and enjoyed the broth separately. First, just really clean broth, very well done. The noodles were fantastic texture and well dressed with peanut and some vegetable bits. I would have been happy with that. I added crispy pork, somewhat similar to bacon but the crispy edge was fantastic. I will return to explore more of their menu. Service was great too, very nice and helpful with their menu. Great job Fen!

My mom and It's favorite noodle spot of all time ever. My body feels like new when I have one of their classic bowls. Food really is medicine 🙏🙏. Please try it out. Their laiyou stuff is also delicious if you want a little kick

The Food
I am not sure how noodles differ in different regions of China. But when I walked by Classic Guilin Rice Noodles, it seemed like an interesting place to try. My friend and I ordered their Beef Brisket and Crispy Pork Guilin Rice Noodle (牛腩，脆皮桂林米粉) along with Special Small Bowl Rice Noodle (合味特色一口粉). The Special Small Bowl Rice Noodle came with a sampler of different noodles. These "Bite Rice Noodle" give a chance to try different noodle dishes. I enjoy both the Beef Brisket and Crispy Pork as well as Special Small Bowl noodles. I like these styles of noodles, and the flavors, though similar, are pretty good. They of course have a variety of other dishes besides noodles, so will need to return and try them.

The Miscellaneous
The restaurant itself is decent sized with a good amount of seating. The interior is clean with interesting decor, giving the typical Chinese restaurant vibe. The service and staff were nice and sincere. They took our order when ready, and the wait time for the food was pretty quick. Their menu has other selections besides noodles such as stew, hot pot and rice plate. The prices are not unreasonable so it is worth a try if you are in the area.
