It's so so so good. I'm not a big fan of the beef roll due to the fact that the cut of meat I got in my bite contained a crap load of connective tissues. I would of needed teeth like that dude in James Bond movie to gnawed thru it. But I do need to try that beef and hand cut noodle soup it sounds so YUMMY!Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571901478675826116noreply@blogger.com
