I think it was called "Pizza and Smoothies," wasn't it?
I still have dreams of their Thai curry to this day.
I have tried to explain the little noodles to people who never had it, and how they made the whole thing magical.

I don't remember what I ordered there but I remember the noodles, a lot of cabbage for some reason, the big flexible microphone, and the Buddha that greeted you.
Maybe bulgogi or something similar?

The old little Taipei above subway. Everything was 2.99. Got a plate piled high. It was swamped. Couldn’t depend on it really well due to the health inspector shutting it down routinely.
Italian food on Main St makes me think of Lucullans on Main St in Ames.
I lived a block down the street. 9 times out of 10 I would order The Big Mother sandwich
As long as Thai Kitchen is still rolling. That's still one of my favorite restaurants in Ames.
It is! You're safe. Best curry in Ames now, however, is The Spice. Their yellow or massaman are fantastic. Thai Kitchen for so much else, though!
My spouse loved their Thai fried rice. We would come to visit and get an order when we would leave town. So good.
My fav Minsky's pizza was the Capone special - Canadian Bacon and saurkraut. I don't know if they have that any longer. I eat only gluten free pizza now.....darn.
The Big Mother was one of my favs. Duggies, Torks, the Beer Baron all in my backyard. Great neighborhood, very convenient.
We had a dolly to wheel down to the Beer Baron for getting kegs.
I thought they were all mired up in wage/tax lawsuits. Surprised its still open.
Stay granted in wage violations case against Ames restaurant
A lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Labor against an Ames restaurant that is accused of violating the Fair Labor Standards Act by not paying back

Not sure of current status, but am confident that I ate there once and only once. Finding out it was the same ownership as King Runs was not a surprise at all.
Loved Little Taipei when it was there. My favorite was Mongolian Beef, extra meat and extra rice. Always had the same lady working the register.
I know the place now, forget the name, where the original Hickory Park was, told the exterminators not to come back as he would take care of the cockroach problem himself as they charged too much. 
The guys food is actually pretty good but after hearing that, nope. I won't go back.
Kinda like Mongolian, been there once, and haven't been there since.
