¥ ・ Noodles
Open only from 10am to 2pm, this neighbourhood joint on a quiet street is inspired by the 1980s with ceiling fans, a mint green fridge, wooden benches and other knick-knacks that open the floodgates of nostalgia. Similarly, the concise menu stars old-time local favourites, such as steamed rice dressed in lard and spiced soy. String bean noodles are another must-try – al dente noodles tossed in a spicy sauce, topped with ground pork and string beans.
