Noodles - Ippusode one (get it! get it!!!)

Ippudo! Salty but good. I'm a fan and plan on going back. The service was great and the chefs were fun. I've heard a lot of hype about this place. I've definitely had better but it was all round goodness.

Free fans for everyone!

Basement broth makers I assume.

The noodle maker wasn't in motion when we peeped at it.

The bathrooms are so fancy!

Declaring my Love for Noodles

According to Wikipedia a noodle is food made from unleavened dough that is cooked in a boiling liquid. I've always been a big fan of noodles of all types. Varieties in culture such Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Italian so on and so forth extend far and beyond from what I've tried. This particular post is just a declaration of my love for noodles.

Siriusly I Heart Noodles.
