| - Noodletasia...even the name evokes curiosity!
This little fusion restaurant is located right off of Gilead Rd., nestled in a multi-use shopping center. Inside, Noodletastia is pretty slick...a nice amount of tables and modern interior. Hubs and I popped in for a quick lunch and were impressed with the friendly service and expansive menu. The owner was very accommodating and seemed to personally greet every one of his patrons.
I ordered the Kim Chee noodle bowl - a huge bowl of noodles, green onions, bok choy and shrimp simmering (actually boiling!) in a spicy both. The flavor of the Kim Chee bowl was super tasty - hot and spicy with a (favorable) sour aftertaste. While the noodle bowl had a great flavor, I had such a problem consuming it! The bowl was larger than my head and there was so much broth encompassing the long noodles, veggies and shrimp I didn't know whether to use the spoon ladle they gave me or my fork. And naturally, because of my feeding attempts I ended up with half of the noodle bowl splattered on my white shirt. HOT. I was, however, quite enamored with the chocolate fortune cookies we received with our bill!
Truly, though, the flavor was delicious but the end result was frustrating for me because a) I was hungry and couldn't get enough food in my mouth and b) I ended up with an orange splattered shirt. Maybe if the noodles were cut in half or if there was a better apparatus for taking it down, I would have been more satisfied and less splatter-fied. Next time I hit up Noodletasia I'm going to order something a bit more, "consumer friendly"!
