| - I'm gonna talk about the ramen here today, but just to get it out of the way, the salads and other soups are excellent. I found the December salad in particular to be a nice surprise!
But, I'm more writing this review as Mandy's was part of my Ramen Rampage when I discovered that they now offer ramen noodles as a soup option ... effectively putting Mandy's on the NDG ramen map!
The nice thing about Mandy's is that the extreme level of customization means you get exactly what you ask for -- no more, no less. This isn't going to be your perfectly authentic Tampopo-level ramen experience, but when you need to eat some kale and carrots but you have a hankering for ramen, you need to come to Mandy's.
Build-your-own is the name of the game at Mandy's (okay they have suggested combos too) so just pick a broth (the vegetarian broth is on point!), get some ramen noodles in there, maybe add some protein, pick your veg, and your wish is Mandy's command. I got a boiled egg, mushrooms, and green onion for ramenniness in addition to the broccoli, carrot, and kale for health!
