This restaurant was reviewed in the May 2009 LVA, some of the information contained in this review may no longer be accurate. All the prices in BNN9 end in “.09.” That’s not a problem, but the numbers in front of the decimal are. We tried the beef pancake appetizer ($9.09), snow-pea leaf ($13.09), pork mushroom noodle ($15.09), and seafood noodle soup ($18.09). Along with a cup of green tea ($3.09), the tab for two for lunch was $63. That’s too high. And it’s not like the meal bowled us over (two each shrimp, scallops, and squid in the soup). You can get a better snow-pea leaf at Diamond China for $7 and comparable noodle concoctions at Gold Coast’s Noodle Exchange for $13. Here, too, most impressive is the space itself. The clean and sparkly little restaurant features six fish tanks stocked with goldfish at the front.
