Everyone in the neighborhood has eagerly awaited the opening of Alley Street Eats. I read an article about these folks and their concept. Asian street food, of different styles. The decor is cool and modern. The menu is extensive without being overbearing and features the variety we so desperately need in our area.
Viv and I shared shrimp and zucchini tempura to start. Their tempura is light and crispy, just as it should be. Next, we had an order of the Sichuan wontons.
These are delicious. Pork wontons with soy, scallion, cilantro and garlic. I was expecting them to be spicy, given "Sichuan" but they were actually pretty mild, but very flavorful. I bet next time I can just ask for them to be spicy and they would oblige.
Next, we had the Yaki Udon Noodle with shrimp. This was also quite delicious. Soft, pillowy Udon noodles in a soy based sauce with red bell pepper, scallion and mushroom. The shrimp were nicely cooked, which as we all know, can be a 50-50 shot in some restaurants.
Viv and I are excited about this place. We've often lamented the fact that almost every Chinese place we know of has a zillion dishes on their menu, yet they all taste the same. We love, love, love Mai Thai but sometimes the trip to W.C. just isn't in the cards. And, our Korean and Japanese choices are limited. Now that we have Alley Street Eats right here in the neighborhood, we can get our Asian food fix much more readily! Here's the link to their MENU. Support our locals!
