Second act

By BRIAN DUFF  |  April 14, 2010

Our one disappointment was a tamarind tofu dish, the sauce of which was sweetly gelatinous in the style of a mediocre Chinese sweet-and-sour. You are in a noodle bar, so stick to the noodles. But we should be grateful that Veranda itself chose to diversify, and if you are in the mood for a rice dish you can cross the street. More likely, you will head next door to Beals Ice Cream for a cone. Thanks to the lightness of Veranda’s noodle dishes, you will still feel the urge.
