Of course, I had lots of amazing food there, thanks to our client Lenn. Report coming up soon. For now, got to clean up the old entries […]

Viet Noodle Bar (Atwater Village)

By in 05: Silver Lake + Echo Park, Favorite Food Entries

The much hyped (from Silver Lake people) Vietnamese Soy Cafe on Hyperion have such odd opening hours that it seems eternally closed for almost every day of the week. Then I heard about the newly opened sister cafe called Viet Noodle Bar nearby. Like Viet Soy, the name of the cafe is barely noticeable from […]
