| - Love this little spot. Love the prices. Love the food.
I am guilty on occasion of being a bit of a cheapskate, so I'm tempted to just emphasize the low cost of dining at Noodle and Rice. That would be an injustice, however, since the food is great and equivalent to a much more expensive restaurant. I guess there's a lot to be said for low overhead, the benefit of an odd location facing a Quik Trip convenience store.
N & R is cozy. Not small. That would imply it's a problem. Cozy. There are just eight tables, each seating four, and a couple of stools. That's it. The décor is fun. And the restaurant seems to do a thriving carryout and delivery business. Our recent visit was kind of late, just an hour before their 9:00 p.m. closing time. No problem getting a table, but it can be an issue at other times.
We love the Thai Iced Tea. The 99 cent chicken eggs rolls with sweet and sour sauce are tasty. We ordered and shared both Thai and Chinese offerings. I'm sure this is a violation of foodie purist code, but it works well for our taste buds. The Panang Curry is especially delicious. Despite the low prices, N & R is generous with the chicken in the dishes we ordered. And the menu is surprisingly diverse for such a tiny establishment.
The kids meals are amazingly affordable, just $2.95 including drink.
Yes, I know I ended up emphasizing the restaurant's low prices, which I promised I wouldn't do. Oh well.
If you are across the street at Carolina's and the crowd there is a hassle, try wandering over to Noodle & Rice. Whether you are a fan of Thai or Chinese food, you won't be disappointed.
