Maizuo Noodle and Crepe

Maizuo Noodle and Crepe is a restaurant specializing in bowls of hand-pulled noodles and mung bean crepes. 

Maizuo, which translates to "wheat-made" in Mandarin, takes its name after its wheat noodles, which are prepared in the traditional northern Chinese way: with a simple mixture of flour, water, and salt.

A mung bean mixture is poured onto a round griddle, just like you would with a basic egg mix, and then folded with your choice of six different fillings like BBQ pork, mushrooms and cheese, or beef.
