| - So I've been working downtown for about a year now and I've tried only a few places (I tend to pack my lunch most days) but whenever I go for a walk, I walk past Tea House Noodles. This little (and I mean little) spot is located on East 6th street and you wouldn't think anything of it if you just were walking by. I've been told its pretty good by colleagues so I figured I would treat myself today.
After the short walk to the restaurant, I walked in and there were 3 employees working. The spot has a very small amount of tables and it would be crowded if there were more than 3 parties eating in there, so I opted to take it back to my office. The menu is displayed on the wall to your right when you walk in and essentially you are given 3 choices noodle/rice/veggie/Pad Thai-sauce-protein. I went with the noodle/rica-rica sauce/chicken combo and it ran me $8.49 (which I felt was a fair price). I also was greeted promptly and to be honest my meal was ready in less than 1 minute, which scared me a little bit. I had also already checked out the menu before I came and I had already decided what I was going to order.
Luckily, the food was tasty, I'm of Asian descent so I really expect a lot comparing it to my mother's cooking but my meal was pleasant. The noodles were a flat thai noodle, which was almost clear in color and had an al dente bite. The rica-rica sauce was orange in color and packed a tiny bit of heat and you get the taste of ginger as well (I very much enjoyed this sauce). The vegetables were fresh but all were not cooked to the same consistency which was disappointing. What was not disappointing was that there were lots and lots of different types of vegetables (water chestnuts, pea pods, green onion, carrots and lettuce accompanied mine). The chicken was bland though, not bad tasting but not what I was hoping for.
Overall if Yelp offered half stars I would give this establishment a 3.5, unfortunately I don't round up so it gets a 3. I thought my meal was a good portion for the price, the speediness of getting my meal was great but just adding some more flavor to the chicken would make for a better dish overall. The employees working were nice and friendly as well which you don't see at a lot of downtown restaurants in my opinion. This isn't a bad place for a quick lunch and I will be back (most likely to try the Pad Thai).
