the restaurant name is a bit misleading - note this is NOT ramen (typically a japan dish unless you are referring to the packaged variety that college students live off of), but is actually a chinese noodle shop! good thing the yelp search function works properly, because when i searched for chinese noodles, this was one of the top hits that came up near where we were staying.
absolutely delicious beef noodle soup and really hit the spot to satisfy our chinese noodle cravings. choose the type of noodle you want - either hand pulled or knife cut. i tried both and thought they were great. normally i'm a knife cut noodles type of person, but on that particular day i was craving hand pulled and it definitely delivered.
the only reason they don't get 5 stars is because of the service - we arrived to a full house but were first in line for the next open table. Given that there's nowhere near the entrance to wait around, we waited inside near the front of the restaurant where the cash register was, but made sure that several waitresses knew we were there and waiting for a table. 10 minutes later, another group of people walked in and were seated at a table near the entrance that happened to be leaving just as they arrived. UM HELLO, WE WERE HERE FIRST! you best believe i put on my most annoyed voice and made sure that the head waitress knew that we had just been snubbed. NOT COOL.
they did seat us at the next available table that freed up, but boy did that leave a not-so-great first impression.
i see some recent reviews mention that this is cash only, but we were able to pay with credit card just fine. no minimum limit as far as we could tell.
