| When this Japanese-Thai noodle bar swung open its doors there was some initial resistance to it. Perhaps the curvy space-age furniture, the DJ booth and the wall-length artwork that unappetizingly looks like intestines seemed forced and affected. But the eatery has settled in nicely and it’s because of the long menu of Japanese and Thai staples. The sushi is passable, but the real reason to swing into Nooch is for the soups, such as the egg noodles in clear chicken broth with roasted chicken filet, shrimp, fish cake, chicken wontons, vegetables, scallions and crispy garlic. Specialties include a prawn curry with dry red curry, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, pineapple and lychee, served with jasmine rice. The big-portioned noodle and rice dishes could feed two. |
