  • Central Asian Visual Storytelling

    Informative video screens display noodle-making techniques and Central Asian scenery, enriching the overall visit.

    Super great service and we thought it was funny (and also informative tbf) the tv with views of Central Asia, plus later a video is someone making langman which was fun to watch.
