| - Hang on a second -- I need to wipe the delicious noodle soup broth off of my face before I start writing.
....OK, now that I'm not a huge, embarrassing slob I can tell you why I L.O.V.E. Tea House Noodles so much.
This place is right up my alley. Quick, cheap, healthy noodle and rice bowls with fresh ingredients and a spicy-kick to boot. Or in simpler terms: Om nom nom. It doesn't get much better than this -- well, maybe if they delivered out in Ohio City.
My first encounter with Tea House was exactly the opposite of what I was expecting. Being the Yelp addict that I am, I obviously checked out what everyone had to say before I ventured over. On my way there I was preparing myself for a fast-paced, hectic line in which this indecisive gal would have to figure out what I wanted without much thought. *Oh, the horror!* I was getting worried already.
Luckily that wasn't the case! I walked in during a slow time, talked to the gentlemen working about what I should get on my first visit and he was so patient! He deserves a badge of honor for putting up with me.
I adapted the flow of this place quickly: Pick brown rice or rice noodles, a sauce/ broth and a protein. There are a few options beyond those, but that's the gist of how it works. I love spicy foods, but I'm not a fan of sweet. Therefore the gentlemen suggested a noodle bowl with the chicken broth and diced chicken. I added hot sauce on my own and voilà -- instant, warm, happiness in my growling stomach. With every order you get some scallions, freshly steamed veggies and sesame seeds in your bowl. Afterward your body will be asking you why you haven't treated it this good before now.
This place is the *perfect* lunch destination in my opinion for a few reasons:
1) Variety! There are so options that you'll never get bored or feel like you're eating the same things all the time. There are at least 10 different sauces and broths and they have daily specials during the week. Plus you can combine different things to truly make it your own. Although, I'm still a Tea House Noodle amateur. You have to be a pro for that level or mixology!
2) It's healthy! Maybe it's just me, but I like to know what I'm eating. Here there is no question. Everything is fresh, in it's purest form and ready for slurping! (That is, if you're a noodle bowl fanatic like me.) They even have freshly squeezed juices, smoothies and salads!
3) It's fast! I know I already mentioned this, but how often can you get something this good for you in a flash? It's right downtown, easy to walk to and you can even order online for delivery. I honestly can't think of a reason NOT to eat here.
So, yeah. If you couldn't already tell, I'm a fan. The only downside I can see are the hours...Oh and the $6 minimum on credit card purchases. *Sigh* Welp, I guess you can't have it all.
