Noodle
Sorry for the brief break — I’m trying to get rid of the bad taste in my mouth. One of the worst Asian food I’ve ever had was in Noodle. I’ve been to this place twice. The first time I had to meet a bunch of friends. After that, I swore never to come back. That was a couple of years ago. Then I had to meet some friends for lunch last week and I can’t remember how I agreed to go back to this place. Big mistake.
All I can say is that my food left such a bad taste in my mouth that I’m still trying to get rid of it a week later. I had the Thai Peanut Noodle bowl which arrived looking so presentable. It had big pieces of shrimp and crisp veggies on top of flat rice noodles. The dish really looked great. I already knew how it was going to taste so I came in with really low expectations. Still, I was hoping to be proven wrong. Not. The pasta, for some reason, was very starchy. Not only that, it was also over-cooked. The simple soy-sauce and coconut milk sauce was paste-like in consistency and simply put, it wasn’t good at all. It was a bad attempt at Thai cooking and this time, I really swear I will never eat there again.

I agree. I went back to the Decatur Noodles for the second time only because someone in my group wanted to go (my first visit was about a year ago). Wish I hadn’t…. I also had the Thai Peanut Noodle Bowl (with chicken) and was sorely disappointed. You would think a restaurant called “Noodles” would know how to cook them…they were gummy, starchy…very unappealing. I really wanted to like the place…nice decor, great location…but alas, it was not meant to be.

Ohhh. I love Noodle in Decatur! You should try the Miso Soup.
I have different standards for food than most because I am a Super Vegetarian living in the south, but the steamed dumplings! the miso! the buckets of tiger beer for so little!
Sorry your times there have sucked.
