As previously noted, chef-owner Richard Ho, who has worked at Blue Ribbon Sushi’s Brooklyn and Columbus Circle locations for eight years, is behind this venture, which took part in several pop-up events in recent years. His speciality is Taiwanese beef noodle soup.
Grub Street has a preview here:
His idea was to mimic actual beef noodle shops where the soup, he says, is usually just complimented by a single hot side and rotating vegetable sides. Here, the menu will be rounded out by extras like pork rice and a few sides, including homemade soft tofu with century egg, sweet soy, and bonito. Down the road, he plans to introduce Taiwanese breakfast. “It’s super carb heavy. It’s delicious,” he says, pointing to sweet and savory soy milks and sticky-rice rolls that bundle crullers, pork floss, and other fillings.
And a look at the menu...
No word on hours just yet. (Didn't spot them on the Ho Foods website.)
The smallish space was home to Porchetta until November 2016.

I'm all for my kin making this area more into the East Asian Village, but those prices... In Taiwan, you can get at least five bowls for the same price. At least half of this has to be rent.
ReplyDeleteThis Ho would like to thank everyone for keeping it classy and not making any "Ho" jokes.
