As Boyz II Men once sang, it’s the “End of the Road” for us at Prairie Noodle Shop. Thank you #yegfood community for your incredible support over the last five years and allowing us to serve you with something different inspired by the prairies. We took a chance, and hit a pandemic. What are you gonna do? A few words from one of the owners and our talented @cheferichanson . Wishing everyone well and best of luck to all the indie restaurants out there. Keep supporting local! ❤️

"Rather focus on all the reasons of why we decided to shut down — I'm sure some of them are pretty obvious — we wanted to end on a positive note and get in control of the situation making this decision, rather than waiting until the world fell apart around us," co-owner Arden Tse said.

Prairie Noodle Shop is located on 124 Street and 103 Avenue.
