Lunch is solved.
Everyday Noodles is a bustling traditional style noodle house located on busy Forbes Ave in Squirrel Hill. Walking into the shop reminded me of hip, clean, and comforting places in Japan and Korea. The friendly staff quickly came over greeting us and getting our drink orders. As per the norm I went with hot tea and water. The jasmine tea is served in the newer cheesecloth tea bag and is very good.
The food though is why many of you are reading this review and here goes: We shared the potstickers which were legit. No frozen dumplings steamed in a microwave. These were hand made then straight up stuck to an earthen pot and steamed traditionally so that you get the crispy starch strewn between each delicious dumpling. If that wasn't enough I had a hankering for some broth. I ordered the braised beef & tendon noodle soup with the wide flat noodles. The broth was rich yet clean, full of flavor and balance. The handmade noodles had the perfect chew and the portion was too much (not a complaint). You then must know that the meat was plentiful and flavorful. Thin slices of beef and chewy chunks of satisfying tendons floated in the amazing broth.
Prices are right too.
