A look at CHeU noodle bar

POSTED: Wednesday, March 20, 2013, 12:02 PM

Shawn Darragh and Ben Puchowitz of Matyson - fascinated with noodle and ramen culture - had been working pop-ups.

At 3 p.m. April 1, they will open CHeU Noodle Bar at 255 S. 10th St. in Washington Square West. Daily opening is at 4 p.m.

Most of the seating in this wildly graffitoed storefront is at a counter, where Puchowitz will whio up alkaline noodles and hand-torn (six entrees) as well as vegetable and assorted apps. Prices will range from $6 to $12.

A liquor license - expected as early as later this week - will bring canned beer, sakes and five cocktails.

    The menu sounds like the "Asian stoner food" menu that opened in NYC West Village, reviewed in the NYT yesterday.

    Now, these are some prices that are within reason for noodles. I will try this.
