The hot dry noodles are really, really good. $9.45 for a big bowl. The dou pi was also really good. One piece for $4.50.
You can order up front or the by the QR code on the table. It’s kind of nice that you can order as you go, but kind of inconvenient to order and pay online.
It was busy on a Friday at 7pm but I could get a seat.
It’s on the third floor.

A tiny, unprepossessing restaurant that serves surprisingly good Hubei fare, though I have to dock points on service because one of the staff placed a plastic lid they'd dropped on the floor back on the stack of lids to use. Liked:
- Hot dry noodles. Hot, dry, flavorful.
- "Three delicacies doupi". Moreish but otherwise unremarkable.

We tried the new item on the menu which was the beef hutangfen and it wasn’t our cup of tea. The sauce was very starchy and sticky. I did like the peppery side of it. The sauce of the zha jiang noodles was quite powdery. We didn’t finish it. The saving grace was the soybean and fried donut. The drink was interestingly served in a bowl with a spoon. Wasn’t too sweet or thick, just nice. The donut was a tad crispy but flavour was good.

Xiang Yang beef and tripe noodles (soup) $12.90 were a tat too spicy, dampened taste of the dish (if any). Signature lotus root pork rib soup with Korean rice cake was very flavourful, with nice rich broth but only one pc tender soft pork rib $10.90. Spicy wanton with chili oil $6.90 and three delicious dou pi 2pcs for $8.50 worth a try! Complementary pickled cubed radish and chopped spring onions available at self service side table. Dine in tables too low, too small, tight in space, making dining experience not very comfortable.

This is probably one of the more underrated Chinese eatery around. I love the food here, especially their walnut bao. It’s actually not easy to find quality food in the morning - most cafes and reputable bakeries open around 9am or 10am. Cai Ji Lin opens at 8am and is one of the rare places where you can sit down and enjoy a good breakfast before a continuing onto a tightly scheduled day. Highly recommended!
