Jim Barcelona's Philosophy and Food Blog

When you walk into Noodle.ism on West 5th and Congress in downtown Austin, the first thing that strikes you is the giant tiled hanging menu with all the food options. Each food option has it's own gigantic 8x10 to tempt your corrupt soul.

The stir fried udon with bok choy, chicken and red bell peppers corrupted my soul so badly that they'll have to event a new circle in hell. The noodles were chewy, the chicken cooked perfectly, and the sauce a pleasant mix of sesame, salty, sweet and sour. They were served in a tilted bowl so that I could lean back and admire the steam rising above this dish. You can have it spicy or mild. The service was both fast and friendly.
