The Scene
This two-story noodle house ramps up St. Mark's booming cheap-Asian-eats scene. True to the block's eclectic heritage, its large interior recalls a design store sample sale. Just past the juice bar, with blenders working overtime, the main dining room balances earthy notes like dark latticework and a door made from a lacquered tree slab with more modern touches like neon lights and a glass-enclosed kitchen surrounded by bar-style seating.

The Food
Some surprises reside on the pan-Asian menu. An entire meal could be made with the offbeat appetizers: Try crispy ribs coated with bits of roasted garlic, Japanese dumplings shaped like bookmarks, or smoky grilled mackerel skewers. Entrees are anything but ordinary. Slug-shaped noodles raise eyebrows in the Silver Needle dish, sticky rice wrapped in a lotus leaf soaks up the homey sausage and mushroom flavor of its wrap-mates, and noodles made from fish vitalize an otherwise placid house soup.
