We stopped here for dinner last night not really knowing what to expect. I assumed it would be like other noodle franchises around the country, but I was surprised. I had the Udon and Chad the Spicy Peanut. At first I thought I was so hungry that this wouldn’t be enough food… but it was more than enough. It was very good. Hot and spicy. We both added chicken and liked the Black Currant tea. Great place to bring the kids for mac and cheese or pasta with marinara & meatballs. I also liked the local mom & pop vibe. I always know a place is good if they have siracha on the tables.
