Noodle Madness
Although we have previously mentioned that the sandwich shop formerly known as Zozo’s was going to be replaced with a noodle shop on the corner of Orchard and Stanton, there is now a banner up so we know that it will be called “Noodle Bar - Lower East Side.”
If you thought this might not be the ideal location for a new noodle shop with Open Sesame up the block on Orchard, Kampuchea just two blocks away on Allen and Rivington and a plethora of other spots on 1st avenue (including Momofuku), well apparently you’d be wrong.
Not only did Noodle Bar - Lower East Side think this would be a good location, but not even half a block away on Stanton (next to Epstein’s bar) another new noodle shop will be opening. Slurp has all of its signage up and for a while even had its tables set and looked like it was ready to open…before they had to go back in and do some more work (new work permit signs went up on the door just last week).
It looks like this is going to be the Spring of Noodle Soups for the Lower East Side. If either one of them ever opens maybe we will even go and write a review.

Walked past Slurp today (I walk by everyday actually). The menu is finally up, looks pretty good. Kinda like a more expensive version of L’Annam. I’ll definitely give it a shot, though looks a price pricey for takeout…
