| - This place was pretty good except for one glaring flaw. We'll get to that in a moment.
My husband and I ordered the pork ramen, red curry soup, and pork steam buns. The flavors were on point. The buns were the highlight; fluffy and filled with wonderful, tasty ingredients like cilantro, aioli, scallions, and grilled pork. At $8.95 for two small buns, they are on the pricier side, but worth it. The broth for my husband's ramen was rich, complex, full of flavor and topped with a beautifully cooked egg. My curry soup was full of flavor and delicious veggies and shrimp. Nice and spicy too.
The noodles in both our dishes were where things went south. Rather than the curly, chewy noodles that normally accompany ramen, it seemed as though someone subbed spaghetti in my husband's bowl. My dish was described as having rice noodles - I got the same noodles my husband did, except smaller (angel hair, basically). I've never been served rice noodles or ramen like that at any Asian restaurant (and I've been to copious amounts of them).
In summation, we'll be back, but won't be ordering noodle dishes next time.
