Noodle 168
I’m a big fan of Asian cuisine, but in Sweden, this often means Thai or Vietnamese. Other regions of Asia are often forgotten, so it’s nice to see another place pop up right at Kungsgatan that is focused on China, Noodle 168 (or Eating 168?). I am stoked, but how is it?
In terms of taste, it was a bit of a let down though. The soup noodles lacked the signature soup filling, and were rather dry and lacking in taste. With some chili sauce dip it was quite nice though. The Zhajiang Mian was quite nice and the sauce had a strong taste, while the noodles had a good bite. It felt quite authentic and though I am not the biggest fan of the consistency of the tofu, I liked the overall composition. For the price point of only 128 SEK for the noodles, it’s a fair deal.
Price:
Soup Dumplings: 68 SEK (4 pieces)/128 SEK (8 pieces)
Zhajiang Mian: 128 SEK
The Verdict
It’s alright and the kind of place you can definitely go to once in a while for lunch. The price point is fair, but the soup dumplings are a let down. At this time, it’s a nice addition to the central area of Gothenburg, but nothing I’d seek out intentionally. I will check back in a while though and see how it developed and to try the other dishes!
