燃面 means 'burning noodles' — not because they're on fire, but because the chili oil glistens like flame on the surface.

Moment from the diner

Yibin spicy dry noodles are a street-food icon from Sichuan province. Minced pork, peanuts, scallions, and a slick of chili oil over springy hand-pulled noodles.

"At the end of the day, a diner isn't just about the food — it's about the people on the stools next to you."

No broth. All flavor. Every strand coated.

At $14.95, it's the bowl regulars order when they want heat without soup. Ask for mild, medium, or extra spicy — we'll adjust.
