| - I decided to head to the Ramen Bar after work because it has been on my "must try" list of restaurants in Squirrel Hill. I was a bit apprehensive about ordering Ramen noodles for 9-11 dollars. I mean really, they are .25 cents at the store! But I decided to forgo my penny pinching ways and just go to the Ramen Bar.
When I walked in the host station was in the back of the restaurant, odd, but not off putting in any way. I walked toward it and the one server/host asked me, with a bit of a weird tone, what I needed. Now, maybe she meant take out or dine in, but that question was just a bit odd to me. I told her that I wanted to sit down and eat, and that it was just me and my other party was on their way. She told me to sit anywhere.
I sat and looked over the menu. Simple and to the point. I ordered some pot stickers and the Curry Ramen. The pot stickers were amazing. Such a great flavor, the perfect combination of a sweet and meaty taste. They came six to an order and they were a big six.
The Curry Ramen was very good. The broth was delicious even if I was expecting it to be a little spicier. But while it was not spicy it was still flavorful. The pork was done perfectly and plenty of it in the bowl! No skimping around here! The vegetables were done so they still had shape and texture to them but still cooked thoroughly. I almost ate my entire bowl! It was very filling and really a good time.
The food was good, don't get me wrong, but would I make it a regular spot to go back to? No probably not. But would I go again? Yes, I would.
