The lunch combo is an excellent deal, especially considering the quality and portion size. Both ramen broths were absolutely delicious--rich, flavorful, and satisfying. The Spicy Tan Tan had a great kick, while the Miso Ramen was wonderfully comforting and savory. Pairing everything with a cold Kirin was the perfect move! The pork belly bao bun was also generously filled with plenty of tender, flavorful pork belly. What really made the experience even better was the owner, who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to again!

My daughter and I were in the area later in the day after a goalkeeper camp she was at. When…read moreprompted for what she wanted she picked ramen, and this was the nearest place still open after 8pm I could find. Nice little shop, fun artwork on the walls themed to the store, simple counter order and they bring it out when ready. Unfortunately for me, they had a lot of options I wanted to try, we ended up with the edamame, some pork belly cheese fries, and since it was warmer we went with rice options instead of ramen. I got the tonkatsu rice bowl and she got the Japanese curry rice bowl. Between the appetizer and the meal we were both unable to finish and I enjoyed it the next day as a left over. They have a great self service option for take away containers which I appreciated, except my skills of 'dumping from bowl into container' were less than stellar. While we probably won't be back often as they're a 45m drive from our normal haunts for a 'whats open after 8pm on a Friday' they were a welcomely pleasant surprise and quite good.

The delicious smells wafting through the restaurant immediately let me know that I was in the right place. I ordered the Fatty Beef Szechuan Hotpot Yunnan Rice Noodle & Fried Dumplings. Both arrived in no time, and were piping hot on a cold winter's day. The fried dumplings were crispy, not at all greasy, and filled with very flavorful filling, coupled with a perfectly paired dipping sauce. The hotpot... oh, the hotpot, was filled with pillowy fried tofu, fatty and tender beef, cabbage, wood ear mushroom shreds, seaweed, bean sprouts, and a ton of noodles. All of this was swimming in some of the most amazing Szechuan peppercorn broth that was spicy, but not numbing and not overpowering. It was the perfect broth to wrap each ingredient in flavor. After I finished all of the delicious beef and veggies, I went for the noodles. I never really new what "bouncy" meant when describing noodles until today. They were truly bouncy in with every bite, silky smooth, tender but with a little bit of bite to them. I ate every morsel that I could fit in my stomach and not explode... this was the perfect winter dish for this South Florida eater.

The quail egg was the heart of it. Got the bone broth this time. While the broth is good, it's not great to the point I'd crave for this. I'm honestly not a big fan of the rice noodles but they went well with the broth. My girl got the noodle dish with the beef tripe, and we also ordered beef tripe for appetizer and milky rice cake for dessert. The beef tripe is one of our favorite appetizers, and it's perfect with Japanese beer. The noodles are a bit spicy but the spice level was adjusted low to my girl's liking. The rice cakes were good but not the best we've tried. It's something we'd order again though. For 2 people, we ended up spending around $50, including tips, so reasonably priced but not as satisfying as a dim sum dinner. | Overall Score: | Overall Score: 4.1/5

The space is spacious and inviting, with plenty of freshly baked bread, pastries, and other tempting goodies on display. We ordered two items: Poulet au Fromage ($16.90) -- Focaccia loaded with herb-roasted chicken, cheddar cheese, Applewood bacon, tomato, and herb mayo. This sandwich was plentiful, flavorful, and seriously satisfying. Every bite was packed with delicious ingredients! Chocolate Almond Croissant ($6.31) -- Belgian chocolate and almond fondant wrapped inside a wonderfully flaky croissant and topped with roasted almonds. This was an absolute treat. The Chocolate Almond Croissant is simply to die for! While enjoying our food, I couldn't help eyeing the scones, along with their beer and wine selection. Clearly, I'll need several return visits to work my way through everything that caught my attention.

But it's actually pretty easy to get a hang of it and isn't as overwhelming after a few minutes. They also do a cute sweet treat for birthdays!

Aside from the fact that Q Noodle's flavor profile doesn't totally vibe with my personal…read morepreferences, I find this place to be very, very inconsistent. As someone who really enjoys big, spicy flavors in Chinese food, I find Q Noodles to be on the tamer side. This isn't necessarily the worst thing, my grandparents prefer these flavors a lot more. However, the style of food does not make up for some the unknown of a high or low experience. Q Noodles is one of the few places in the area that serves soup dumplings. Unfortunately, during my last visit the soup dumplings had no soup in them. The flavor of the meat inside was decent, but the lack of soup was disappointing! It makes the dish what it is. I also don't particularly fancy their rice bowls, and that says a lot coming from someone who eats an unholy amount of rice. I eat a lot of Taiwanese braised pork rice, so when I saw it on the menu I certainly had some expectations. I didn't get the Taiwanese version, rather, a more mild version where the pork was leaner and definitely overcooked. Their pork chop rice bowl is decent. While there are some misses, there are also some highlights. The popcorn chicken with the spicy powder rocks, the spicy braised beef noodle soup is packed with heat and delicious flavors, and their braised chicken is tender, juicy and kind of like a great Bourbon chicken. It pairs well with a rice bowl. Q Noodles certainly won't be my #1 choice when it comes to Chinese food, given the amount of options in the area. However, there are some really solid options that I think still give it some charm. I just hope that next time, my soup dumpling has some soup!

After a long flight and the usual airport chaos, I was heading back when I spotted Potbelly and…read moreimmediately knew I had to pull over. Something about being travel-hungry made one thing crystal clear: I needed a Wreck. And wow... this hit the spot perfectly. I ordered the A Wreck on multigrain, thin-cut, loaded with basically everything good in the house -- Genoa salami, roast beef, smoked ham, turkey breast, provolone, hot peppers, caramelized onions, pickles, cucumbers, artichoke hearts, roasted garlic aioli... the whole masterpiece. Every bite hit. The bread had that perfect warm toast, the meats were stacked generously, and the balance of tangy, savory, crunchy, and spicy was chef's kiss. The caramelized onions with the hot peppers especially took it over the top. Also grabbed a large Strawberry Dragonfruit refresher, which was ice-cold and ridiculously refreshing after airport chaos and North Carolina humidity. Exactly what I needed. If you're anywhere near RDU and debating a stop before heading home -- do it. This Potbelly absolutely delivered. The Wreck remains undefeated.

I received a confirmation email that my order had been received. When I called to see where my order was, I was given the Manager on the phone. He explained to me that the Credit Card didn't go through so they cancelled my order. No one ever called or sent an email saying the order was cancelled!! I could have easily provided another credit card! By now it was noon and I ended up running to Harris Teeter and picking up a dozen deli sandwiches, cookies, chips, and salad. It made for a hectic afternoon, but I saved nearly half what I would have spent at Potbelly and the food was just as good. What makes things even worst is that the manager didn't offer any sort of apology or offer a discount on my next catering order. I will NEVER order office catering from this location again!!

Noodle Blvd is located in a spot that you could easily miss, but it's easy to get back on track. I pulled into the gas station parking lot beside the restaurant, then just turned right into the restaurant parking lot. The parking lot is fairly small, so be warned about that. My friend was there when I arrived, and he sat at the bar. When I walked in the door, I was greeted with smiles and waves. It was very inviting, which is fitting for a ramen restaurant. My friend ordered us Lychee Margaritas, and oh my goodness, it was so good! We decided to visit right at opening on a Saturday, so the bartender was still preparing some of the ingredients needed for the margarita. The bartender informed us that it's usually better once a key ingredient sits for a while, but I loved the drink regardless. I ordered edamame for an appetizer, which came quickly and was good! Since I've never had ramen before, I asked our server what he recommended, and he told me about some of their most popular dishes. He told me the N9. Chicken Curry Ramen was a favorite of his and the patrons, so I decided to order that. It came quickly, and I was immediately in HEAVEN upon my first bite. I loved every bite after! I decided to play it safe with the spice and got level 2, but I can definitely go up a level or 2 since I love spicy. Highly recommend, and I will be back! Worth the drive from Clayton, where I live.

The restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived for our early lunch around 11:20 AM, but it started to fill up as we were leaving. They had some pretty bumpin' music playing throughout our lunch, and I liked the general vibes throughout the restaurant. I ended up ordering the Chicken Shawarma for myself, while my wife got the Baked Chicken Akarachka. The food took a while to come out, but it tasted super fresh so I'm assuming they made everything to order :) I really enjoyed my chicken schawarma, although there was one flavor in it that was bothering me a bit. I finally figured out near the end of my meal that it had pickles in it :) I hate pickles! And it didn't mention that it had pickles on the menu. Oh well! My wife really liked her chicken dish - I sampled it and the chicken was moist. Our menu items were affordably priced, although some of the other items may be a little expensive for lunch. Overall, I liked Silk Road and would definitely come back!
