Review of Noodle time

First order after the re-branding. Still good, but fewer vegetarian options. We prefer the prior menu with a veg/vegan focus and more fake meat options.

Previously called 'In the Bowl Vegetarian Bistro', this restaurant served a great variety of soup and noodle dishes with unique, tasty vegetarian mock 'meats' including duck, prawns, chicken and beef. I introduced friends and family, many carnivores, who were universally won over by the excellent dishes with tons of flavor, fresh veggies and unique 'meats'. A recent re-branding under the same ownership has dropped most of the fake meats in favor of 'conventional' meats. A shame, because they were a definite vegetarian standout with the best taste/texture of any fake meats I've ever tried. The staff has been very kind and friendly over the 6+ years I've been a customer, and I wish them success with their new direction. But, we have plenty of conventional restaurants and the old menu is already missed. I hope they eventually return to their roots, and back to their In the Bowl Vegetarian menu.
