| - I am a fan of amazing noodles and fun fusion dishes, so when a friend of mine told me about this place being his favorite joint and invited me to go, I jumped on it like white on rice. Noodles Ranch is located in the Bashas complex on Thomas and Scottsdale Rd. next to LoLo's! Twofer! I am so glad I can come to one place to get my foodie on hardcore.
Upon walking up, nothing much to see, there are basic booths and tables with a casual Eastern theme going on. We sat in a booth and the owner said hello upon recognizing my friend from his innumerable visits there. I looked at the menu and gawked at the prices that are easy on the wallet... I then asked my buddy what he recommends. I like everything Vietnamese, so it's a tough call for me to choose. I was in the mood for a veggie dish of some sort. He said the Goi Ga was fantastic-- a cool, zesty chicken salad: shredded white meat with cabbage, carrot, mint, chopped peanut and chili lime dressing. I couldn't even look at anything else. Done. Ordered. My buddy ordered the Bun Thet Nuong: Grilled garlic pork and vermicelli along with veggies. They both arrived quickly. I could eat this salad every day. There is nothing wrong with it, it is c'est magnifique! Perfect combination of peanut and light citrus with fresh greens and plenty of chicken. The Bun was juicy and tender and rich in flavor. I wish I could order five dishes at one time here, but that seemed excessive.
I am excited to continue coming here for the prices, flavors and service! I hope it continues to flourish!
