I'm not going to lie - I didn't have high hopes for NBN. I have a hard time beliving that one restaurant can master an array of cuisines and I generally tend to prefer places that specialize in one whether it be Chinese, Italian, Greek, etc. That being said, when my co-worker suggested it I thought it couldn't hurt to at least try it out.
It is a fast-casual set up making it ideal for lunch. You order at the counter, get your number, and they bring it to you-simple and fast.
I decided to try the spicy cajun pasta- I believe it was a VERY reasonable $7. A few minutes later and out came a heaping bowl of pasta. I could have easily split the portion into two meals for myself- but I did not have any leftoves because it was so good. I couldn't believe my taste-buds but the penne were perfectly al dente, the sauce creamy-zesty perfection, loads of slighlty-crisp red peppers and topped with grated parmesan. I honestly was shocked that this came out of a fast-casual place and cost so little.
The restaurant itself appeared clean and pretty standard. It is ideal for lunch or a quick/super casual dinner. It also seemed very kid-friendly with choices like buttered noodles.
I definitely will return- and am hoping it is every bit as delicious as last time!
