Sure, it's noisy and cavernous. It's also a great place for a tasty pre-show noodle dinner.
The Scene With locations directly across the street from the 84th Street and 68th Street Sony multiplexes, Ollie's rakes in the Upper West Side pre-movie crowd. Ollie's 84th can't boast much atmosphere--its closely packed tables are often full, and the room's loud. But because of its quick service, reasonable prices, tasty food and skewered ducks hanging in the front window, few people complain.
The Food Try the wonderfully greasy scallion pancakes, which are guaranteed to stay with you all the way through the movie. Other favorites include the wonton soup with roast pork and the chicken with scallion and ginger. Watch out for the sesame noodles, though, and leave the complimentary pickled cabbage and carrots sitting on the table for the next customer to enjoy.
