Love the cooler temps in the morning. It means I can grab a nice bowl of noodles for breakfast. I'd been wanting some Sate Beef Egg Noodle "Dry", so I headed over to Minh Ky. It has been a good 7-8 months since my last visit and it never fails to amaze me how this place can pack it in at 815 on a Sunday morning....for noodle soup.
The tables turn over quickly and there were twice as many take-out orders....
My usual here; the Beef sate Egg Noodle Soup "dry" - soup on the side. Still nicely priced at $6.45.
A nice portion size, the beef relatively tender. I always say the sate could use a bit more "oomph", but those places that are a bit more spicy tend to not have that nutty-pungent-onion-y flavor. The egg noodles were a bit past perfect this time around, but nice and hot. The soup on the side was slightly porky - I can say this since it was much less salty than usual. So was the sate as well.
For under seven bucks....I'll take it.

Isn't it crazy how crowded it gets that early in the am? Next time you're in the 'hood, we should meet up.

Sounds great Jack! It's been a while!
Hi Soo - Yeah, they make a decent Egg Noodle Soup...hate the won tons though.

The dumplings taste a little better than the won tons...

I think the texture of the dumplings are better Soo.....
