Authentic Taiwanese? No, but it was good.
We started with my favorite- slice beef pancake. It's sweetened beef wrapped in an egg wrapper with cilantro. The egg wrapper was different from what I've had before, but I think I prefer that to the usual oily breading. The Chive and pork dumplings were packed full and practically exploded in your mouth. YUM.
For our main dish we shared the stewed tendon noodle in hot bean sauce. My non-Asian half thought that sounded unappetizing, but the name is misleading. It's noodles in a slightly sweet broth with soft slices of beef. You'll like it.
Those three things were enough to feed the two of us. I liked the side dishes more than the noodles. Nothing we ordered was more than 10$. Noodle Pot II is a cheap, quick eat!
The restaurant was WAY cleaner than the original Noodle Pot with a mixture of the lucky color Red and leftover Christmas decorations. According to the owners (yes, they're the same owners that own Noodle Pot across town) they offer a few more things including boba drinks!
The restaurant staff were very attentive and friendly.
Don't let the lower ratings from the other location turn you away, Noodle Pot II was good and deserves a fresh start!
