Noodle-Ly

If you’re in the mood for noodles, Noodle-Ly should be your first stop. With a wide variety of Vietnamese, Thai, or Chinese noodle soups, it’s always difficult to choose between options like phở with braised beef, BBQ pork egg noodles, and khao soi. Another favorite is the veggie option, which comes with a choice of noodles (rice or egg) with mushrooms, baked tofu, and bok choy. Noodle-Ly is by no means a secret—wait times for a table can get up to 90 minutes—so it’s a good spot to order from on a night in that won’t cost you more than $20. If you decide to eat here though, you’ll find a room filled with brightly-painted walls and even more colorful paintings.
