This spot opened after the original OB Noodle House was featured on the popular show "Diner's, Drive Ins, and Dives." Though fantastic, the original spot is small and too crowded for my liking. So when the owner opened a second location (even closer to home) it was a win win!
Recommend: Melon Sake, Spicy Garlic Wings, Sizzling Fish, House Fried Rice, and the PHO!
