Try the Za Jiang Mian. It's the best bowl of Asian ragu over noodles that you will have in this state...or perhaps any state. Very fast and affordable. Tiny restaurant with limited seating.

Fabulous cheese and charcuterie selection as well as hand picked wines and cooking and baking essentials. Plan to linger and grab a coffee at Boxcar coffee in the same building.
