Nothing but Noodles

Remember Irvington Market? A collection of small businesses: a fish market, a cheese shop, a gourmet grocery? Well, not any more. Now the block which used symbolize quirky, affluent Portland now is a collection of chain restaurants. This evening we are focusing on Nothing but Noodles, a "midwestern chain, from Arizona". Okay, so they hire people who don't know geography--I'm being a snob, I know. Anyways, it's my job to go check these places out so you don't have to--and believe me, you don't have to go there. Yes, it is cheap. And it's not like you'll be exposed to anything fresh, or northwest.

So. We ordered Thai Lettuce Wraps, Spicy Japanese Noodles, and Beef Stroganoff. No drinks. $20. I wouldn't order any of it again. Oh, and another thing: canned mushrooms. Canned mushrooms!
