Noodle Man

You’ll have both a dinner and a show at Noodle Man, since you can peek into the open kitchen and see chefs hand-pulling noodles into long, glutinous strands, but it’s also a casual place to grab an excellent dinner that won’t take up your whole evening. Definitely order a noodle soup (our favorites are the Lan Zhou Beef and the Hot and Spicy options), but it’s also worth trying the chicken jalapeño and mongolian beef stir-fried noodles as well. The space is small enough that it easily gets packed, but you can easily still hear your table’s conversation (if you’re not too preoccupied with slurping up your delicious noodles).
