The Wolfbats confronting Korra

The White Falls Wolfbats confronted Korra and Bolin in the restaurant.

When Korra agreed to go out with Bolin, the two visited this restaurant to enjoy traditional Water Tribe cuisine, much to Korra's pleasure. They heartily enjoyed their dinner before being interrupted by Tahno, who was present with the rest of the White Falls Wolfbats and their fangirls. Tahno came over and taunted Korra, insulting her and the Fire Ferrets' pro-bending skills. Although tempted to challenge him to a fight, Korra was warned by Bolin that any violence would disqualify the Fire Ferrets from the Pro-bending Tournament. Heeding his warning, she called on Naga instead, who struck her head through one of the windows and intimidated Tahno with a loud roar.

After Bolin saw Korra and Mako kiss, he came to this restaurant with Pabu and wept the entire night, attempting to ease his misery by eating noodles. Mako showed up the next morning and forcefully carried his brother out of the eatery.[3]

Three years later, the White Falls Wolfbats were enjoying a meal there when Prince Wu motivated the people of Republic City over the city's intercom to evacuate due to Kuvira's imminent threat.[4]
