Modern Asian Noodle Service, a good place to go on a gourmet trip to Asia on Garosu-gil. The neon sign on the ceiling and the bar table with an “S” curve catch the eye first, creating a hip and sensual atmosphere. The biggest attraction here is that you can enjoy various noodle dishes from Southeast Asian countries in one place. Popular menus such as rice noodles and pad thai, as well as exotic noodle dishes, are presented in a variety of ways.

Each menu is full of personality, from Mapa tofu noodle dishes with Mapa sauce to Wantangmyeon of thick broth with fried chicken legs in a barrel. Among them, the signature menu, M.A.N.S. Noodle, is excellent in spicy soup based on Tom Yum Kung, and it boasts a rich flavor by putting tomatoes, onions, fish cakes, and fried eggs on fresh seafood such as squid and shrimp.

You can’t miss the delicacies that go well with noodles. A fish tank eggplant infused with a spicy and sweet sauce on a crispy fried eggplant is a must-order dish that boasts a crispy texture on the outside and melts gently in the inside of your mouth when you take a bite. Due to the affordable price range and comfortable atmosphere, it is a place where it is easy not only to have lunch meetings with the group but also to visit alone and enjoy eating alone.

Tamarind is a gourmet space that encompasses the exotic flavors of Thailand and Vietnam, where you can meet rich Asian cuisine by reinterpreting the charms of the two countries in a modern way. The representative menu here is definitely Vietnamese spring rolls (beef / fork). Fresh vegetables, as well as meat dishes on a mini-furnace, maintain a warm warmth and soft texture until you finish your meal. Tamarind’s original fusion menu, which breaks the existing framework, also attracts attention. These are unique delicacies that can only be tasted here, including Taco Banmi, a summer season menu that adds Mexican sensibility to Vietnamese-style banh mi, and Yellow Curry seafood risotto, which has a subtle combination of Thai curry and Italian risotto.
