| - Stopping in for a quick lunch, I was looking for (wait for it) noodle soup. I could not really tell what culture the cuisine represented, supposedly Japanese, but some Korean and whatever else filtered in. The surroundings are clean, slightly modern, but traditional--a really difficult read.
I ordered the Seafood Noodle soup for $9. Advertised as having hand-made noodles, I thought it would be worth a try. Soon after ordering, I was presented with 4 appetizer bowls with kimchee, radish pickles, seaweed pickles and an onion pancake. All of the appetizers were quite tasty.
The soup arrived, hot and steamy. I found a few mussels, nicely cooked-not overcooked. However, the rest of the promised seafood was pretty sparse. Total seafood was maybe 2 ounces. The noodles were good, thicker than wonton noodles, with a nice flavour.
For $9, I can't really get behind it. The appys were great, but the soup was only average. In comparison, Aurora Chinese Restaurant has a Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup for $8, loaded with treats. Jim Chai Kee in RH has the same soup with massive amounts of fresh shrimp in the wontons for $7. There are just too many better options for the same or less, that I would only come back if I had a good reason.
