Noodles

I was in town to see a show and was looking to have dinner beforehand. I found this place, and I'm so glad I decided to stop here. I both dined in and got some items to-go. All were wonderful! I was greeted upon entering and ended up seated at the end seat of the window booth. It's a smallish place, so plan ahead if you have a larger group. There were so many things on the menu that sounded great, so it was hard to decide. I'll definitely have to go back. For my dinner, I chose the roasted pork bowl with brown rice ($1 extra). The thin-sliced pork was cooked well and was tender. The broccoli was fresh and cooked just enough to still be a little crunchy, which I like, and the brown rice was perfect. This all was topped with a really tasty sweet sauce. I'd definitely have this again. For my to-go order, I'd requested the mini dumplings and an assortment of the Bao Buns: black bean, bbq chicken, and corn. The mini dumplings were soooo good, and after we'd tasted them, I'd wished I'd gotten two orders of those. They're so flavorful, definitely could eat them every day and still want more. The Bao Buns were not only ridiculously adorable...almost too adorable to eat...but the three flavors we got were all given two thumbs up by those who ate them. I, myself, had the black bean one. I really liked it. The bun itself was light and had a really nice, subtle, sweet flavor. They didn't have the potato curry one available when I was there, so that is just another incentive to go back again. It's a little over an hour from my home, but I deem it absolutely worth the drive. They did have a sign on the door noting that they *did* have the Bao Buns that day, so I got the impression that they're very popular and that they may not always be available. (I saw that they aren't listed on the online order menu, so that may be related to the availability on any given day.) The Ramen that someone at another table ordered looked soooo good, so that'll probably be the next item I try when I go back. All in all, I don't think anyone could be unhappy with the choices and quality of food here.

The owners of this restaurant work very hard and are always so kind especially when my 14 year old goes in to eat or pick up our takeout!! Great with kids and accommodations even though the place is a bit small. They are wonderful hard working genuine people and deserve all the kindness! Thanks noodle for always providing excellent quality food for our bellies and friendly smilies !!! Definitely will be one of our forever go tos :)
