The pint-sized space is counter service only—you'll seat yourself and bus your own table—but the exceedingly reasonable prices make this an easy value proposition. Staples like dan dan noodles and potstickers are top-notch, but look out for rotating daily specials like Sichuan braised beef soup noodles. A second location, in Denver's Union Station, is just as popular.
