A new Vietnamese-themed restaurant is under development in Arlandria.

2D Noodles (3823 Mount Vernon Avenue) ‘s interior renovation is nearly complete. The restaurant’s location in the Del Ray North shopping center is two stores down from Sake Express Japanese Hibachi, which is owned by the same local restaurant chain that owns Sake Japanese Steakhouse & Bar at 2016 Eisenhower Avenue.

According to staff, the menu for the new restaurant is still being drawn up, and an opening date hasn’t been set. The space previously housed Soigne Salon.

The Del Ray North shopping center has been busy over the last few months. Last fall, the Sichuan restaurant Chili Wok opened at 3829 Mount Vernon Avenue.
