Wednesday night, I know everyone heard about that awful storm. Imagine that. Okay now imagine running into a Chinese restaurant called Joe’s Noodle House. That’s what happened Wednesday night. Good. Just wanted to clear that from the review. Now to the really good stuff. So I started off with the scallion pancake, vegetarian style, and straight from heaven! It was a well cooked pancake, unlike other scallion pancakes I’ve had- uncooked eggs are awful! Crispy, it was, too and golden colored, so of course it was great! Next up was salty and crispy eggplant, but for a dish that claims to be salty, I’d even admit it to be a tad bland! Bland, but very crisp and also delicious! Next, I enjoyed the vegetarian Szechuan string beans even though they weren’t as spicy as wanted, but would be perfect for a kid who doesn't like spicy food but wants to try Chinese food badly or likes Chinese food in general. But it was firm and in season, so at that point the Szechuan sauce went along with it just fine. As a late appetizer, steamed vegetable dumplings came. Those dumplings tasted dreadfully brothy and bland. As a strange and sugary dessert, I had a sweet bean paste bun; I really hated how much sugar was put in- sugar overload. I review Joe's Noodle House to be three stars.
Enjoy your next bites,

Hello? Anybody out there surfing the web? Hello?... oh well. Can you at least comment if not choosing to follow? Please... I can only hear echoing instead of comments in these postings. It's so sad. :(
ReplyDeleteHello Tiny Tastebud! Great review! I think the dumplings at Joe's Noodles are fantastic; but, only when you dip them in the yummy, gingery sauce. Try it next time and maybe you too will like it!
ReplyDeleteErr, thanks, but no thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou have made me hungry, once again. I am a big fan of dumplings and would be willing to dip them into a gingery sauce__could be interesting.
ReplyDeleteA family member mentioned that he enjoyed eating at the Pines of Rome. Have you heard of this restaurant?
Keep those reviews coming, Aila. I love reading about your dining experiences. When I come for a visit, I'll look forward to trying one or two out of curiosity.
Love n'kisses,

P.S. Select profile question-I am not sure of which to select. Any thoughts?
