Nodus, a Thai restaurant located on Queens Blvd, held its grand opening Wednesday.
The restaurant’s primary focus is on Thai noodles.
Chai Chunton, co-owner and Sunnyside resident, said that the aim of his restaurant is to show that “Thai food is more than Pad Thai.” He said the restaurant offers everything from rice noodles in a spicy broth to curry noodles. “We want to focus on Thai noodles both broth and without broth.”
The restaurant provides patrons with the option to create their own noodle dish. Furthermore, there are vegetarian options.
The entrees for the most part are less than $10. A big bowl of noodles costs $8, salads around $7, to the classic Pad Thai running at $7.50.
The restaurant, located at 45-04 Queens Blvd., will be open from 11:30 a.m. until 11 p.m. Sunday-Thursday. On Friday and Saturday, Nodus will be open from 11:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. The restaurant does take -out, and will start delivery in about 10 days. The number is 718-707-0188.
Chunton is in business with Tony Tang, a popular Sunnyside figure who ran Flagship Entertainment at that location on Queens Blvd for more than 28 years. Tang has closed Flagship and converted it into the UPS store, which he owns, and Nodus.
“Nodus” is the Latin root word for noodle.
