Noodle Bar Tapestries
Description: Early in the film, Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard sits down at the White Dragon noodle bar and orders. Before Deckard is whisked away by Edward James Olmos’ character, he has an exchange with the bar’s Sushi Master, who speaks to him in Japanese. While waiting for his food, Deckard takes his chopsticks, breaks them apart, and begins rubbing them together. It might not be Blade Runner’s most iconic scene, but it could be one the film’s most impressionable. Deckard seems comfortable ordering at a Japanese restaurant, so he must know something, right? Blade Runner has become a cultural mainstay, and if you are vaguely interested in Japan, you’ve probably seen it.
Description: A detailed black and white representation of a dragon is centrally placed against a black background. Red text above the dragon reads "WHITE DRAGON" in an arc. To the left of the dragon's head is "EST." and to the right is "2019". Below the dragon, large red text states "NOODLE BAR" with "LOS ANGELES • CALIFORNIA" beneath it.
