The polls are clear: Noodle Bar may have a specialty at which they excel. Still, there’s plenty for those in the mood for something else. There are stir fries and rice plates, fruity smoothies and soups. There’s even a page dedicated to vegetarian options. Whatever these guys are doing, they’re doing it well. Fresh herbs, savory broths and loads of meat, tofu and veggies on their namesake noodles – plus crazy affordability – keep locals coming back for more.
