Noodle Club is an Asian American midnight diner and food community centered around diaspora cuisine and culture. In the past, we organized dinner parties and events across Detroit and NYC, and most recently did a pop-up benefitting CAAAV.

We currently engage in the following experiences and practices: pop-up events, recipe development, radio shows, virtual and IRL dance parties, business consulting, creative therapy, and too many last-minute favors to count.
