Stepping into the noodle bar was rathe rdifficult. FFrom the hostess stand to the door was packed. We pushed our way in and waited to be seated. The restaurant was set up in a very informal open table family style. you sit where you find room and wait for someone to take your order. We had about a twenty minute wait before we were seated, but the tables were turned and cleaned with an amazing quickness
Our orders were taken in a very timely manner and we ordered the chilled spicy noodles with spinach and cashews. We also tried the steamed pork buns and shitake buns. To drink my mother and I had a yuzu and lichi slushy. At five dollars for something barely bigger than a shot glass and ten dollars for a large it was over priced. The rst of the food was more reasonable and the tasting menu was the best value by far.
The slushies we ordered were quite good but not worth the price. They also tasted like they had sake in them and that wasnt mentioned in the description. I may have been mistaken but if not that might be something to note.
The steamed pork and shitake buns were stellar. The shitake were a little dry for me and a few had the consistancy of jerky but the flavor was on point. The pork were so tender and fatty. These were my favorite of the two.
They were not lying when they said the chilled spicy noodles were spicy. I honestly didnt take them seriously enough when I saw that word used to describe them. This was easily one of the hottest things I have ever eaten. If these were served warm I think that it would be overwhelming. The nuts were actually paired well with the noodles and assisted in cooling.
Once the noodles were finished apple pie truffles were ordered. These were apple caked, rolled into balls, and then dipped in custard and then white chocolate. They were a little dry and I honestly wasnt impressed with them. The end of the meal could have ended on a more positive note.
Over all, It was an interesting experience and one that I'm glad I had. I would suggest going here and certainly trying the spicy noodles if spice is your thing and the pork buns definitely. This is a great place to stop in for a bite and a fun time.
