Mecha Noodle Bar Opens Fort Point Location in September 2022 | Eater Boston

"Opened September 15 in the Fort Point neighborhood in the same brick building as Trader Joe’s at 44 Thomson Place, I found Mecha Noodle Bar—a small Connecticut-based chain founded in 2013—to be a spacious, two-floor venue with dramatic decorative woodwork descending from the high ceilings. The menu, which may vary by location and season, focuses on Asian street food and comfort fare, from Korean fried chicken bao and roasted mushroom dumplings to customizable pho and several ramen styles including a hakata 24-hour pork broth and a vegetarian mushroom broth. Drinks lean into Asian flavors with boozy bubble teas like a whiskey-spiked Thai Iced Tea, cocktails mixing Japanese gin, yuzu, and matcha, a relatively large sake selection with a tasting-flight option, a few wines and beers, plus phin-brewed coffee and house sodas. This is Mecha’s second Boston-area location after a Brookline opening this summer, and its name—derived from the Vietnamese words for mother and father—pays homage to cofounder Tony Pham’s parents and drives the mission of the team’s philanthropic arm, Eat Justice." - Adam H.
