Hand-shaved noodles in the post-Jack's Tapas era
I miss Jack's Tapas Cafe's hand-shaved noodles. Seattle Met magazine raved about the noodles at Mandarin Chef in the U District, but I thought they were just so-so. I had some very good homemade (but not hand-shaved) noodles at Chiang's Gourmet.
Is there any place that can compete with Jack's late, great hand-shaved noodles?

Shanghai Garden's green barley hand-shaven noodles is the only edible dish there. Eat that and nothing else and you'll be happy. They can even manage to mess up the tea.
I thought I've seen and had hand-shaven at Chiang's. Maybe I was mistaken.
I've always found Jack's hand-shaven noodles to be too soft in texture. And that thing where everything they make taste like it's dipped in a deep bowl of sugar.

Bamboo Garden has a good hand-shaven noodle; try it in the dan dan preperation.
Shanghai Garden I think specializes in hand-shaven and other noodles, at least they used to.
