If you count yourself among the city's opinionated noodle cognoscenti (DL wrote about you in March) you won't want to miss this week's $45 tasting at Matyson (37 S. 19th St.). Chef Ben Puchowitz, also of the Cheu Noodle Bar pop-ups, has his nontraditional lobster pho with burdock and basil as the centerpiece of the May 14-through-17 menu, which celebrates Asian street food with dishes like soup dumplings and spicy Korean rice cakes. Peep Puchowitz's full menu after the jump. As with all Matyson tastings, it's $45 for five courses, not including tax, beverage or tip.

Duck, pickled kohlrabi, black garlic-soy
