This was my first time at Nothing But Noodles and it will probably be my last. The problem was, I entered the establishment craving Pho. Now I was smart enough to know I wasn't going to actually be able to order Pho but I certainly thought what I did order was going to taste better than it actually did.
My husband and I both ordered the Spicy Japanese noodles with shrimp. Per the menu, the dish came with spicy noodles and an abundance of broccoli (take a look at my picture that I posted. Do you see an abundance of broccoli?) The noodles were like no other noodle I have ever seen. It was spaghetti on steroids. It was the Arnold Schwarzenegger of Spaghetti and they were gummy. Gag! The shrimp were very tiny and the sauce was so spicy, you couldn't taste anything else. Don't get me wrong I love spicy food but when the spice is all you can taste, it ruins the entire dish.
The place was crazy busy and loud and the table we sat at was sticky. I don't even want to know what went on at that table before we sat down. Images of toddlers smearing half chewed pasta into the table with the ball of their hands kept flashing before my eyes.
The only positive, the food came out quick.
