I ate them right away and forgot to take pictures. The noodles were chewy and felt a bit like ramen. The children said it was like eating pasta. The sauce had a bit of soybean sauce and taste. Many of the vegetables here are lettuce, which was also ordered here. It was green, crispy and tender, and not bad.
