| - Not Just Noodles is my favourite sit down, get out Chinese food restaurant downtown.
The upstairs dining room is small, but cozy and quiet; there are maybe twelve tables, if that. The menu is varied and gives you a lot of options. Want a small meal? Combo? Family plate? Feel like just an appetizer and soup? Not Just Noodles has got you covered.
General Tao's chicken... mm, mm, good. I usually wind up ordering a one item family plate from the special menu, as they all include an eggroll, soup and chicken fried rice. It's filling, and you can toss out the "just hungry again later" jokes; it doesn't happen here (to me at least).
As a few other people have stated, the decor of the restaurant leaves something to be desired, but maybe it's in the bad taste that gives Not Just Noodles its charm?
My one complaint against the restaurant is one of the servers, who is just terrible at her job in every way, shape and form. She is unfriendly, rude, blunt, drops the plate on your table, usually spills something as she swipes the dishes off the table as if she was in a huge rush (I have never seen the restaurant packed, so I doubt that would be the case). She is just an all around horrible server and should be in any field with daily, consistent, face-to-face contact with people.
Other than that, Not Just Noodles is a fantastic restaurant, whether you are in the mood for Chinese, or just hungry.
A hearty tip of the hat.
