A modern approach to the Asian fusion genre, Nguyen's Noodles adds a contemporary touch to the classical noodle dishes. "Give me a bowl of something good", that's all we want, right? Luckily for us, they deliver just that and more.
Starting from their humble beginnings of a food truck, they've transformed an old tea bar to a modern quick bite or to-go restaurant. They have their take on popular noodle dishes from the Asian regions and more. Adding fried favorites like fried tofu and chicken to French fries.
Their little patio space outside has a nice relaxing vibe allowing you to decompress from the craziness of the day.
