From the way it looks on the outside, you would NEVER think that this place is a good as it is. The cashier was helpful in recommending things as well as her own favorites. I sat down with my sprite, waited maybe 10 minutes for a pork tonkotsu bowl and Japanese curry chicken. I was very surprised by how good these two items tasted. Other ramen shops sometimes have bland, dry tasting pork in their ramen, but the pork here is full of flavor and is crispy around the edges, broth tasted a bit too garlicky , but I like garlic so it was fine with me. If im ever in the area again I will MOST DEF come back ?
Forbidden Noodles the name should be taken seriously. It’s not like some hidden gem at all.The servers are nice enough. They take your order at the counter, and the menu above doesn’t have the food description under the items. If you want to know what you’re getting in your bowl, ask to see a hand held menu.I got the beef paitan… it had broccoli, bok choy, green onions, an unseasoned half boiled egg, and the beef of course. The whole experience was underwhelming.Save yourself the trouble and walk the 400 feet to Aodake Ramen. They have more ramen options and rotating specials.
The menu has a great variety without being overwhelming, and the portion sizes are just right. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor, and the presentation was beautiful. The overall service was prompt and attentive; even while seated, they checked in on us twice! We genuinely enjoyed every bite.
Everything was so delicious that I recommend this place to everyone! The Brussels sprouts were so good that I honestly didn't want to share them! This restaurant is a must-visit, especially for those looking for vegan and gluten-free options!
when they go in the person behind the cashier greets them. the working people are very sweet. I tried the rams, and the chicken-sweet and sour-sweet. the rug was a bit on the salty side. I suffered the sweet and sour chicken dish. in any case recommend. it is a very clean place. They also have really good carbonated water drinks. the owner was so sweet that they gave us free mochi to dessert. I was here 3-4 times. in any case comes back.

I visited this restaurant for the first time and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. From the attentive customer service to the spotless environment and, of course, the amazing food, everything was top-notch. I highly recommend that anyone who can, stop by and experience it for themselves. Food: 5/5
I got the sweet and sour chicken stir fry and it was delicious. My grandma got the pork tonkotsu ramen; it looked so good so I had to get an order of it to go as well as the chicken miso. Everything is decently priced and it's a good amount of food. I've been dying to go backFood: 4/5
My first time trying it. Have heard great reviews and it did not disappoint. The broth was rich without being oversalted. The pork belly was crispy and delicious. The egg was perfect. The dumplings were also very tasty. I can't wait to come back!!!Food: 5/5
I had a great dining experience and ordered the beef stir fry, which I highly recommend—especially with the spicy chili oil! The portions are generous, and the staff is incredibly friendly. Overall, it was an amazing experience. Food: 5/5.
