Noodlehead is definitely one of the nicer places to go in the East End for a good meal under $20. Appetizers aside, the menu consists of tasty thai-styled noodles with your choice of chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu (from mild to very spicy). Basically, it's like a slightly edgier Thai version of PF Chang's (e.g., the shrimp are breaded and fried). I had the Street noodles #1 with shrimp and pork buns as an appetizer, which were not totally authentic, but delicious. There are a few non-alcoholic drinks, but it's BYOB.
The atmosphere is warm and visually interesting, good for a causal dinner with friends or a date. I hope that this place makes it. It's a great addition to the Highland Ave/Penn Circle set of restaurants.
