Nooshi

Lunchtime crowds are intense at this fantastic place, mainly because the food is robust, spicy, and delicious. Favoring authentic cuisine over mild-mannered adaptations, Nooshi gives young professionals what they want: flavor wild enough to keep up with their lives. The eatery combines the cultures and cuisines of China, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Opt for Thai drunken noodles, Shanghai roast pork soup or even Singapore-style rice noodles. Sushi is a popular alternative in the non-noodle category. METRO: Dupont Circle
