ANNOUNCER: WILD ABOUT ORIENTAL NOODLE & GRILL >>>

Restaurant-review-article-o From the folks who brought Tacoma Wild Orchid, Oriental Noodle & Grill has been open just over eight months in the James Center shopping plaza across from Tacoma Community College. Same as Wild Orchid, this new location serves tasty Asian cuisine served in a beautifully decorated setting. Given the rich, deep brown wooden walls graced attractively with hand-painted folk art acquired in Thailand; live orchids in vases; soft, white cloth napkins on every table alongside custom embroidered menus; elegant lighting; and chairs and booth benches made from more gleaming wood, one would expect higher prices to go along with the lush setting. But that’s not the case here; prices are kept exceedingly reasonable without shrinking portion size, taste or quality.

JASON: All right, mouth breather, do your thing. You know, that thing you do when we walk in and you stand there with your mouth open trying to taste the air. Get it out of the way now, so we can go on with dinner like regular people.

JAKE: My gawd, man, let me enjoy this thing we call life! I’ll do my thing, and you do yours. Er, wait. I mean, I’ll breath nose only, and you refrain from leering at the waitress who, as it just so happens, also waited on us at Wild Orchid that time you suggested not so subtly that she should be a take-home item. Great.
