Handmade hand pulled noodles from a Portland Food Cart called “Noodle House“, located at SW 9th and Alder. They are open from lunch to about 6pm, which means they are great for grabbing noodles to go for home for dinner too! Great comfort food for a cool rainy day while also feeling good supporting a small business where this husband and wife are shivering in their cart (and remember their prep time making those noodles beforehand), waiting to cheerfully take your order and cook it to order.
The noodles are thick and chewy, picking up a lot of the coating from the sauce so your face will get dirty as you slurp up these long firm doughy strands. They are cooked to order (here, shown stir fried) noodles along with the veggies of carrots, cabbage, peppers and onions, and here, with plump chunks of spicy chicken, so you may have to wait a little bit depending on the line but you will be rewarded when your dish is up and she proudly previews your meal for you before closing it up and handing it to you. The portion is generous for slightly more than a fistful of dollars- kept me going for two meals! Don’t worry- the spicy is not as spicy as it looks at all.
Next time I’m getting the seafood one!
