The name Iron Road Noodle House recognizes the legacy of the prominent Asian heritage and history within the North Lake Tahoe area, said a press release from the resort. In the late 1800s, Truckee served as a hub in the building of the Central Pacific Railroad in which as many as 20,000 Chinese immigrants worked to bring the railroad through the Truckee Basin and over the Sierra, resulting in one of the largest Chinatowns on the west coast during that time.

The restaurant is located at the base of the hotel’s resort chair lift connected to Palisades Tahoe. It is open daily between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. Guests who share a photo of their food on Instagram or Facebook and tag @resortatsquawcreek and #ironroadnoodles will receive free mochi. Show it to your host to redeem. 

In addition to the new restaurant, Resort at Squaw Creek features gourmet dining options at Six Peaks Grille, delicious pub-inspired fare at Sandy’s Pub, breakfast buffet at Cascades, grab-and-go food at Bearshine Café, and winter-inspired cocktails at its on-site ski bar.  Local residents who dine at the resort and present identification can receive 15% off all food and beverage at its on-site restaurants.
