That sounds really good, as does the pad thai. I think I'm going to try them both. Good request, Crewsk!

mmmm, a japanese place next to the soup nazi in the city makes a soba noodle salad, much like this. i think they leave out the sugar and add a little fish sauce, then top it with strips of salmon and tuna sashimi, all on a bed of frisee lettuce.
