The creatively named Chopsticks Noodle Bar, serves a lot more than noodles. It's Leh's truly best East Asian cuisine restaurant, with an eclectic range of much loved Japanese, Thai, Chinese and Tibetan dishes. The decor though minimal has real cut table flowers, oversized Japanese fans, an umbrella and a Thai Buddha statue at the entrance. The indoor dining area has wooden tables with cushioned benches, which could be a bit hard on those with back issues. Fear not, there's a huge outdoor terrace dining area under bright pink tents, which has platform seating with cushions around low tables, perfect for those who want to dine and relax for a longer time. The menu has favourites such as teriyaki chicken and Thai curries. Rather typical when faced with abundant choice, I decided to stick to what I thought was familiar - Thai Green Curry Fried Rice. That was the first disappointment, coz it was just fried rice, not a green curry with rice as an accompaniment. The second disappointment was, there was nothing Thai about it. The quantity for the price - USD 2.75 - wasn't substantial either, and the dish was a bit thin on the chicken. Anyway, I spiced up the rice with red chilly sauce, white chilly sauce, and Thai soy sauce, and decided to use this disappointment to try out my chopstick skills. Yes, they've chopsticks, which is a real plus. There's something magical about slow eating with chopsticks, coz I enjoyed my lunch thereafter. The indoor dining area was full with a global clientele. There was a large Thai group on my left and an equally sizeable Israeli group on my right. The Chopsticks is certainly a very popular restaurant.
