• Tell me about your feelings about joining the E-Noodles family? How did you feel about starting somewhere new, especially at an establishment where sushi was still brand new?
  • To be honest, I was very happy that Hendro was going to join me at E Noodles and so was he. Not only were we going to be able to work in the same place but it also saved us time because it was close to our apartment. E Noodles was not open on Sundays.  This worked out perfect for us because it gave us time to spend with the family.  Also, Karren and Alex are very flexible in helping us with our schedules.  Not only were they flexible but they are nice.  E Noodles was a great work environment for Hendro an I.
