Vegetarians: Rejoice- no fish sauce/oil used in any curries or dishes aside from Pad Thai. Even that can be prepared without. We had our pickings off the lunch menu - which had a variety of dishes where you pick your protein which included tofu and mock duck. Each item comes with soup or salad and a spring roll. Massaman Curry with tofu, Green curry with mock duck and Basil thai fried rice with no egg. Salads were fresh with a peanut dressing. Spring rolls were hot and crispy with little to no oil. The green curry was spicy the way my wife prefers and the massaman curry was full of tofu, crinkle-cut carrots and potatoes. Large portions, lovely atmosphere and very helpful and polite staff. They have boba teas as well- which I plan on trying next time.

Thankfully, even if I couldn't easily find street parking in front of the restaurant, this place deserves every single star. Great work, not only is the food excellent but the decor is absolutely wonderful and the staff is beyond nice and welcoming. I went with my standard go-tos: Eggplant basil with tofu Tom yum soup with tofu Papaya salad Generous portions, lots of veggies, lots of flavor, enough spice to clear out my nose. I was thoroughly impressed. I'll be back.

Finally came to the Eataly restaurant and wow - I'm blown away. From the ambiance, to the service,…read moreto of course the pasta, it was all perfection. I always crave a crisp coca cola, and Eately's brand is absolutely phenomenal. The menu is large with all kinds of pastas, pizzas and much more. They do offer a $25 lunch price fixe that comes with two courses. I wanted pasta, so this offering didn't really make much sense for me. They have plenty of pasta options for course 1, but for course 2 you can only get rice, potatoes or focaccia. I do wish they had some kind of green or salad option here. Pasta dishes are around the same price as the lunch special anyhow. The cacio e pepe was divine. Silky, creamy and perfectly al dente noodles. The lunch portion is perfectly sized too. Fettuccine alfredo comes out in a cheese wheel which is always fun. I'm sure you can't go wrong with anything here. Eataly really just knows how to do it right.

The dining options at short hills are limited, and Eataly is probably the best option…read more I've always found the food at Eataly to be tasty and consistent. Maybe I'm just ordering the right thing? The pomodoro pasta is one of the best I've ever had. This sauce is really delicious and complex. The pasta is really nice quality and al dente. Very good. Recently we came for brunch and it was just ok. The eggs with asparagus, ricotta and pancetta - We asked for a soft scramble (not soft). They had sliced raw asparagus tossed in little olive oil on sliced bread... needed to be more than just that. It would have been a lot tastier if they seasoned the ricotta and toasted the bread. Still, I like coming here and it's a great restaurant for a mall. It's also easy to bring kids here which makes it very convenient!

We were delighted to find that there's no fee for Sunday parking, so we definitely scored big time! We waited only for a few minutes, and then we were quickly seated at an adorable round booth, making the atmosphere feel cozy and private. They only give those to parties of four or more. The other tables were open-feeling. We scanned the QR code for the menu and ordered the following: Premium Jasmine Green Tea - 5/5 stars. A must-get! Aromatic and perfect with all dishes. A pot of tea is $9. Pork Soup Dumplings - 4.5/5 stars. Delicate skin. Be very careful when picking them up. Have your spoons ready. My only wish is that they served julienned ginger alongside them. The dumplings and broth were so tasty, we forgo the dipping sauce. Homestyle Braised Pork Belly - 5/5 stars. Delicate and sublime with the perfect ratio between the fat and meat. Fish Slices & Green Peppercorn - 5/5 stars. They gave us a good amount of fresh fish, and don't be fooled into thinking this dish isn't spicy. It has fresh green peppercorn. After swallowing, that's when you will feel it. It's pleasant and not Mala spicy. If I could take it, you would be fine. Dry-fried Cauliflower - 4/5 stars. Cooked to perfection as it's not overly done, and it lightened up the lunch dishes. Our only comment was that the garlic was barely cooked. Ugh, we had garlic breath for the rest of the day. These dishes do not come with rice, so if you desire a bowl of rice, it is $4 per bowl. Everything was made fresh, and the restaurant, including the bathrooms, was clean. The waitstaff are friendly without hovering over you. If you need anything extra, they are there with their tablets in hand, ready to assist you. They do offer desserts, but we forwent them as we were headed elsewhere for dessert. Great location, easy to find parking, and fresh food. We'll definitely be back.

Ambiance: Sofun Noodle Bar has a clean, contemporary interior with a modern aesthetic. Even the restrooms were thoughtfully stocked with Aesop soap, which was a nice touch. It's refreshing to enjoy Chinese food in such a bright, stylish, and well-maintained space. Food: If you come here, definitely order one of their rice noodle dishes since that's what they're known for. The Signature Lu Fen was flavorful, comforting, and satisfying--I would happily order it again and would love to try another rice noodle dish on a future visit. The Spicy Fried Pork Intestines, however, were disappointing. They were extremely dry, almost as if they had been refried, and the dish contained far more dried red peppers than actual pork intestines. The balance was off, and I wouldn't order it again. The fried rice was a solid choice, and the other dishes we ordered were enjoyable. We finished the meal with the Sweet Tofu Soup, which is essentially warm douhua served with lightly sweetened syrup. It was light, comforting, and the perfect way to end a flavorful meal. They also bring complimentary gum with the check, which is a thoughtful finishing touch. Parking: There is plenty of street parking and nearby parking lots, and parking is free after 6 PM, making dinner visits especially convenient. Bring your friends and family and give Sofun Noodle Bar a try! Stick to their signature rice noodle dishes for the best experience.
