| - Lazy day today, woke up at 9ish, didn't hit the shower until 11ish, struggled out the door at around 12ish, wandering (driving) aimlessly in NoPho famished. Yelped for lunch places and Noodle & Rice popped up on the list, so N&R it ish.
I'm not quite certain what to make of this restaurant because I was expecting an order-up type, but it turned out to be a sit-down place. Inside, the place is small with no more than 30 in occupancy tops. A little cozy I might say if it was packed. Fortunately, I was a little latish for lunch so hardly anyone was there. The decor is a mishmash of ?!?!? which you'll have to see for yourself. Nothing earth-shattering or trendy, but I just couldn't quite describe it so I'll leave it at that.
I ordered the Pepper Steak from the lunch special in the Rice Entrees group. It comes with egg roll, soup and a drink for an unbelievable price of $5.95. The egg roll (chicken) came first - which came first - followed by the soup (hot & sour). The egg roll was really good but the soup was just ok. Soon after, I got my entree which looked appetizing as I took its picture. It was definitely fresh because the mushrooms and peppers were crunchy, however, I felt it lacked spice. Condiments were nowhere to be seen on my table nor the table next to me, so I couldn't flavor it to my liking. It wasn't bad but I was not blown away. Next time, I will try the entrees from other yelpers who gave this place 4 stars.
Overall, it's worth a trip back when I'm feeling ish.
