When a gust of cold weather reminds you that winter has settled in, Pan Asian Noodles And Grill is at its best. For a pittance you can order a giant bowl of noodles, meat and broth, with mix-and-match choices of rice or egg noodles, chicken or spicy beef broth, sliced beef, pork or wontons with pork. Pay a couple bucks more and you get seafood.
In any case, these are filling meals of warming, aromatic broth heady with fresh coriander and Oriental spices. They're served in spiffy-looking black bowls with red rims, in tune with the neon and lacquered colors of this cheerful, clever little restaurant. Even if the day is not cold enough to shout soup, PAN ASIAN is popular for its plates of noodles topped with every Asian flavor, from Thailand's pad thai (which unfortunately is too sweet) to Canton's chow fun. The most addictive, though, is drunken noodles, the wide noodles topped with ground chicken and basil in an aromatic, faintly sweet and fairly spicy sauce. Again, the price is well under $10. And the relative splurges of the menu, the appetizers, include lovely little, grilled skewered bits, crisply fried nuggets and the spring rolls of several nations.
