I've been to Paper St. on two occasions now and admittedly I am less enthused about the experience the second time around. On my first foray into Paper St. I tried the elotes which is corn served with chipotle feta cheese and poblano mayo. Don't let the peppers fool you, it is not a spicy dish but it is creamy and delicious. I followed that up with the ramen burger which was delicious (very buttery) but if not eaten fast enough the noodles will come apart.
I popped back in yesterday to have more elotes, and decided to try their soup of the day which was a Manhattan chowder. The chowder was good, and it was served in a creamy tomato broth as opposed to the usual white broth you get with New England chowder. As delicious as it was, the broth was runny and could hardly be called a chowder. It was a good soup, but definitely not chowder. I then moved on to the yakisoba and was so underwhelmed with the entire dish. The noodles were unctuous as ramen noodles should be, but the whole flavor profile was bland. A little acid to brighten up the dish would not have hurt or maybe some ginger to brigthen up, I don't know. All I can say is that was not a dish I would come back and have again.
The crowd the second time around was the corporate after work crowd, and they had the Jays game on which I am always up for watching. The service was somewhat friendly, but not welcoming. Overall a decen eatery that I would again come back to, if only to order the elotes and have a beer.
