After having the Roast Duck from Golden Island, the Missus requested dinner from Noble Chef. And of course, that roast duck. Which satisfied Her craving.
But, She also wanted a dish I had hesitated in ordering; mainly because I didn't think it would hold up for take-out. One of the Missus's favorite dishes on our dinner visits was the Fried Tofu with Two Mushrooms. We'd always finish that dish at the restaurant because we knew the fried silken tofu would not hold up after being smothered in that mushroom sauce. But; the Missus wanted it, so I went for it. I was pleasantly surprised that things were packed separately.
I got the "gravy" nice and hot; the tofu was still warm and surprisingly still had some good texture to it. And of course we finished it off immediately. The Missus also enjoyed the plating.
And of course the usual other dishes. The Steamed Pork with Salted Fish was even better tis time around. More tender; a lot more savory-funky flavors, more sauce.
I'm thinking they are really getting into their groove with takeout now.
And of course, my Soy Sauce Noodles; which I enjoy as leftovers with fried egg on it.
Also of note; I was told that Noble Chef is now adding in a 10% upcharge for takeout. Kind of a bummer, because I was tipping at least 20% on all my visits; but I guess most folks weren't.

So, tell me, what's been on your rotation lately? Anyplace that I need to try?
nice that they pack the tofu separate from the soup.
Glad to hear about your takeout from Noble Chef. I had gotten takeout when they re-opened in early June, and it’s time for another visit. I’m also not keen on the 10% uncharge, but hopefully they disclose it up front.
Yes, that made all the difference Kat!
I hope you enjoy what you get from Noble Chef Sandy.
Mmmmm soy sauce noodles.
That roast duck would go great with your noodles!
Those are a favorite of mine Junichi!
The problem being having enough roast duck for me to eat Soo!
I’ve been meaning to try Noble Chef again after reading your posts on their duck. 🙂 I’m curious if you’ll review Da Nang Corner since they’re having a soft opening according to Convoy District FB.
Hi Elle – I saw that “free egg roll” thing – though it’s only for dine in. I’ll probably drop by after the three days – so less crowds and weather willing (not too hot) perhaps next week. Hope all is well and thanks for always keeping us “in the loop”.
