, where solo diners experience minimal interaction with other humans—including restaurant staff—during their meals. “I was able to focus on the food itself,” says Su, who adds that any anxiety about the language barrier and pressure to capture the moment fell away in the booth. “A good dining experience should help people feel connected to themselves. It should open up their senses—not just their mouths but their ears, eyes, nose, everything.
I visited Yunnan Noodle Shack for some noodle soup and a little me time. The dim lighting, lo-fi R&B and zen decor make the restaurant feel more like a trendy yoga studio. For maximum privacy, every seat faces the wall and each table is separated by partitions.
Once I was seated, I realized that I didn’t have to accommodate anyone else. I didn’t have to negotiate which appetizer to get or make sure to order enough for the table. Overwhelmed by the freedom, I went with one of the first things on the menu: the minced pork chili with pork crisp rice noodles , a noodle soup that came with a marinated egg and pickled lettuce.
