FYI – Ivy Noodles now open

By: Maureen C. Cribb

They've taken over the space previously occupied by District Dumplings (may their "dumplings in chicken broth" rest in peace). It's completely redecorated now. Dark pseudo-wood panelling, groovy torch fire lighting up at the front, fluorescent pulsating-colour tubing along the wall bench area – was I at a rave or a restaurant? Mixed decor messages aside, I enjoyed my curry tofu noodle soup. Andy and Jean mostly liked their choices, too. The place did smell kinda like "food cooking oil" but it wasn't horribly rank, really. There's a big-screen TV but it was blissfully on "mute".

How many forks out of 5? 3.25 sounds about right. Nice noodle place for a quick lunch.
