WABI-SABI NOODLE
House and Vegetarian Grocery
EAT RIGHT:
Your friendly neighborhood
mamihan,
this spot takes an
unconventional approach towards vegetarian food — and towards dining out in
general. The fodder is fondly referred to as “street fare,” customers can shout out
orders from their tables and will sometimes have to get their food themselves,
and the resto shuts down once it runs out of stock for the day. The fun feel and
taste come first, and being a healthy, vegetarian option is a happy bonus.
TOP PICKS:
Try the banh-mi sandwich, pot stickers, Thai milk tea and
lemongrass iced tea. Watch for new offerings like their
kushiyaki
(
veggie
skewers) and healthy popsicles.
