Since 1964

A plain room, a red sign, a bowl

Everything below comes from the listing and its posted photos — no owner quotes are invented, and nothing about sound is claimed.

The sign finds you first

Bold white lettering on sign-red, with an address and phone strip below and a striped awning under it. The shop announces itself by color before anything else — the 1964 mark is carried on the sign and the awning alike.

Open to the street

Step under the awning into an open-front room: cream walls, a wall fan, plain metal-framed chairs and wooden tables, the cook working at the front counter, street light and street life visible through the opening.

The bowl and its sides

Clear broth, beef balls, tendon chunks, scallions — always with a greens tray, a lime and sliced-chili plate, and a dipping sauce of dark soy and red chili. Diners photograph the full tableau, not a single bowl.

Afternoon into evening

Open 13:30–21:00 daily, the shop lives in the afternoon and evening, not the morning. Small tables, individuals and small groups, a second plain-balls bowl ordered alongside the noodles — unhurried, handheld, personal.
