university village ("u-village") keeps getting bigger and better. and more asian. located within walking distance of the university of washington campus, i used to go to u-village all the time for food and shopping. but now it's all fancy and hip. there's a tiffany's, a sushi restaurant, and now boom noodle (a ramen bar) and tokyo sweets (with a menu that looks exactly like what derek and i saw in the harajuku district of tokyo).
i love ramen bars, so i was thrilled to see that one has opened up in seattle. it doesn't have the authenticity of the places in nyc like ippudo and setagaya, but it has some unique dishes. i really enjoyed ryan's recommendation (the cold noodles) and cindy's recommendation (edamame mush with purple potato chips - pictured). the cold noodles were delicious - normal ramen noodles served with a light sauce for dipping.
there's something inherently wrong with putting a tiffany's on a college drag. just saying. maybe college students are richer nowadays than i remember. i'm. so. old.
ReplyDeletewell, there's a university avenue that caters more to the college students. u-village is not really for college students.
