| - +.5 for service
Lucky Noodles replaced what used to be a sushi restaurant at the same location. In fact, the restaurant design still resembles the Japanese feel compared to the Chinese-style feel that's typical of noodle places.
The menu bears a huge similarity to the one in Deer Garden. In fact, the design looks very similar, but they do offer some different toppings and noodles, such as ramyun. Also, prices for non-fish soup based noodles are cheaper than fish soup noodles (but prices in general are cheaper than Deer Garden), and there's a $4.99 special for all noodle orders after 8:30pm on non-stat holidays.
The first time I came I tried the tomato and beef soup base, and I found it quite good. The ramyun is okay, but it's somewhat undercooked for what it is. The second time I tried the pork bone soup base, but I found it to be too salty. It was okay if I didn't drink the broth, but if I did you can really feel the sodium. I had similar comments from my friends who went, and they also mentioned that the broth in general is on the saltier side, but nothing too overwhelming if you don't order the pork broth.
Service is quite good, as you do get a warm welcome and a general sense of communication from the employees.
Overall this place isn't bad, and would actually be very good if they lower the salt content in their broths.
