Noodle Shawty

The Write-Up

The full story

Noodle Shawty is a playful, fast-casual noodle counter on South Orange Avenue serving bold Chinese street flavors in a small room. The menu names do the showing off: Lo Key Mein honey garlic chicken lo mein, Chow Mein Squeeze with orange chicken, On Cloud 9 creamy miso noodles and Wok This Way shrimp vermicelli, in portions guests call generous. Ube doughnuts and layered matcha keep it from taking itself too seriously.
