It is well known that I love a good noodle, particularly the handcrafted variety. I had heard great things about the Peaceful Restaurant on Broadway, but being a downtown snob I never bothered to go out of my way to check it out. Then the other day I was riding my bike home from the gym, saw that a second location opened on Davie and got a wee bit excited. I skidded to a stop and bounded in sweaty and starving. Seriously, do the Dan-Dan. After being satiated by the spicy Dan-Dan sauce, chewy textured noodles and perfectly cooked greens; I made a return trip two days later. There are so many things on this menu that I need to try, I forced myself to narrow it down to the Beijing shredded pork dish, and it didn't let me down.
Peaceful has so many things going for it and they pull it off with a quiet ease. Lovely service, fresh ingredients, tasty hand-made noodles, huge flavor, and Schezwan spice. It won't be long before it's a neighborhood favorite and packed. I can't wait to go back!
