    Noodle Boulevard delivered exactly the kind of comforting, flavorful meal I was hoping for. I ordered the Shoyu Ramen with Chashu Pork and an Ajitsuke Egg, and it was outstanding. The broth was rich and balanced, the pork was tender, and the toppings--bok choy, beansprouts, bamboo, onions, nori, and that perfectly seasoned egg--brought everything together beautifully. I did ask them to cut the meat up but they were "not able" to accommodate that request. Every bite felt warm, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. The service was friendly and efficient, and the overall vibe of the place is fun and energetic. The music was a bit louder than I prefer, but it didn't take away from how good the food was. If you're craving a great bowl of ramen in a lively atmosphere, Noodle Boulevard is absolutely worth the stop.

    N14. Shrimp Tempura Udon
    Becca R.

    Ordered the shrimp tempura udon, strawberry cocktail, and my husband got the Hong Kong ramen. The drink was really good! The shrimp tempura udon was good but I definitely would try something else next time. My husband's Hong Kong ramen was so good and makes me want to go back just to get that! Service was pretty good but had to get up and ask for more water a few times. Would go back again and try something else on the menu!

    N20. Hangover Ramen w/ Seafood

    I ate here for my birthday dinner last month. It was so good! Our server was very kind and personable (and made a few jokes). I started with the Lychee Margarita - it was very tasty! For the appetizer we ordered Gyo-Za (meat)... we also ordered the Karaage chicken, but there was a miscommunication, so we didn't get that one. The Gyo-Za was good (pan seared). I ordered the Hangover Seafood Ramen (Spice Level 3)... it was so delicious!!! (Spice Levels range from 1 (no spice) to 6!) I was pleased with the spice, but I'm also someone who enjoys spicy foods! The ramen had muscles, shrimp, calamari, bok choy, shiitake mushrooms, and green onion. I sniffled through my meal (lol) but it was so good. It was a nice space, not too big, and even though it was very busy, we were seated almost immediately! (They had both indoor and outdoor seating) I will absolutely go back!

    The place has a good vibe, nice bar for a ramen place. Pork gyozas slightly warm, I would've like them hot. My hubby's pork ramen was good, I didn't try it. The duck ramen.......a ton of pork rinds which don't make any sense because they are soggy after a while, very rich, I removed them from the soup. Duck was OK, noodles cooked well, lots of fresh grated garlic, which took away from the broth taste. This is the best rated ramen in the area, unfortunately did not impress.

    Rice in the rice dish was cold and stiff. Several in our group noted the ramen broth as sweet though preferred savory broth. Observed several staff on their phones while our orders were slow to arrive. Parking is limited. Don't park at the adjacent Waffle House.

    Ginger tea
    Marty W.

    Quickly seated and served water. After perusing menu ordered ginger tea and R6 Gyudon (sukiyaki beef) rice bowl. Ginger tea blew me away, sooo flavorful. Rice bowl was very large and very good. As I was solo seated at bar service was little lacking but place was very busy and moving items constantly. Look forward to trying soup bowl next. Definitely try ginger tea .

    Spring rolls

    Hands down the best vegetarian ramen in the area!! I have been looking far in wide in the triangle area for vegetarian ramen especially with all the winter weather that keeps hitting us. I have finally found THE one. Noodle Boulevard is an unassuming place that's hard to find but you will be glad you did. There is plenty of parking and even though the inside looks small, they have fit many seats there. The menu had a vast array of appetizers, rice bowels and ramen. I got the vegetarian spring rolls and the Tofu Curry Ramen with udon noodles. The service is FAST. We were in and out within an hour. The spring rolls were fresh, you could tell they didn't use the frozen packs that many restaurants have. The Tofu Curry Ramen was packed with flavor. I got medium spice level and found it spicy, so watch out. But either way, I couldn't stop eating because it was savory, peppery and perfect richness. This restaurant is far from me, but I plan to make the trek again and again because the food is so worth it.

    N3. Tonkotsu Ramen (w/ Marinated Pork Belly)
    Megan W.

    Several of my friends had recommended this place to me and I just got around to trying it. Let me tell you it was completely worth the wait. The Ramen is so customizable and they have great vegetarian and gluten-free options. I've traveled to Japan and had some amazing Ramen all over the world and I thought this Ramen was great. The broth was so flavorful and their spice level was perfect. My tiniest critique is that the pork in mine was 90% fat and 10% actual meat. The portion sizes are pretty large. Even on a weeknight the restaurant is pretty busy so if you're coming with a larger party of 4 to 6 people I would expect to wait. I'll definitely be coming back to try some of the other Ramen.

    N6. Vegetable Ramen | 16 with tom yum broth, and N9. Chicken Curry Ramen* | 17

    I completely understand why people rave about this place so much because after the first time I tried this place- I returned very shortly after. This is probably one of the best, if not THE best ramen spot in the area. Everything was a 10/10! Both times we went were really busy but luckily we still got seated immediately. If you are bigger than a party of 2 I would probably expect a wait. It is a small but cute restaurant with different bar seating and high-top tables. My friend is a huge fan of their vegetable ramen with the tom yum broth. For myself, I get the chicken curry ramen and add enoki mushrooms and corn. Please try this- you will not regret it. The broth is literally exploding with flavor and it was enough food to give me ramen for lunch the next day too. I will always be in the mood for this dish. For appetizers, we've tried the chicken yakitori, chicken karaage, shrimp shumai, croquettes, and spring rolls. I have no idea how they make those croquettes but I could probably eat 10 of them. They are so creamy and delicious and my friend and I were obsessed. Other favorites that we now re-order are the shrimp shumai and chicken yakitori.

    Absolutely love Noodle Boulevard~ stumbled on this place by review searching a few years ago and it never disappoints. The older Asian lady who seems like an owner/manager is ever so kind, she's so warm and efficient. If you come here and think "wow, it's packed", just remember, they clear people out quite well, without the feel of rushing you. We are never deterred by how packed it is. The parking situation though is a bit cramped but you can always park down the hill by the other establishment. The fried enoki mushrooms are one of my favorite along with the Tonkatsu. What I also love about this place is they are very flexible on adding toppings. Location is great, its by lots of nearby shopping which makes for a great lunch break while youre in Cary. Overall, Noodle boulevard is always solid win. Actually except for the fact they are closed on Mondays (boo hoo), oh and also be mindful that they close during the day from 2PM - 5PM. Very important. I get frustrated when restaurants do this but hey I guess being the best, needs a break sometimes :)

    N12. Beef Ramen, kimchi, and Thai tea
    Katrina B.

    We went shortly after opening on Saturday. It was packed!! We sat at the corner bar table right by the kitchen. I order the beef ramen with a spice level of 3. Whew!! I'm glad I tasted it before trying to add sriracha sauce. Level 3 was spicy enough for me. Everything was so flavorful and really good. My son had the duck ramen. He enjoyed it as well and he's a very picky eater. I will definitely come back and try more options!

    Shrimp shumai
    danelle b.

    This is my favorite ramen spot! And it's evident because I drive 30 mins to get here. The ramen is always hot, fresh and delicious. The service is always great, I don't like that they no longer have the paper menus, I'm cool that it's online but tell me everything that comes in the bowl online. I shave to ask the server which I feel is stressful for them and me. It's a very small place and there is always a line; with that being said I think there needs to be some kind of policy on how your on the list. You literally wait in line outside in the elements to be seated. It does get a little loud inside, with all the people with laughter and joy from enjoying a good bowl of ramen. Don't get me wrong they do have rice options, but I can't recall ever seeing anyone eating anything other than ramen.

    N20. Hangover Ramen w/ Seafood
    Nikki G.

    This is my friends FAVORITE place to get pho/ramen. So much so that when we sat down the waiter and owner knew exactly who she was. This place is cozy the only thing I would say is that parking can be a bit of a task at times. Other than that this is a dope spot. My friend ordered the Spicy Seafood Kimchi Ramen(level 5) and I asked the waiter to surprise me and I ended up with the Hangover Seafood ramen(level 2). It was delicious however I did end up asking for more spice. I will definitely be back to this place.

    What is their house ramen?

    They don't necessarily have a house ramen. They do have the "favorites" (shoyu, miso, tonkotsu, shio miso) and then "other" which includes duck, curry (vegetarian or chicken), seafood tom yum... If you go here, ask the waitress what she likes :) I… 

    What are the vegetarian options?

    Lookup Noodle Boulevard on Yelp. Under Popular Dishes, scroll to the right to see an icon for Full Menu. You can see the dishes. You might want to ask them if they use meat to make the broth used in the dish you're interested, in case it matters.

    Do they put milk in their soup? It gave my lactose intolerant kid stomach issues

    I can safely say that none of the ramen noodle soups will have any milk in them. Their ramen are all pretty authentic and none of the top three popular Japanese ramen dishes (Miso, Shio, Tonkotsu) have milk in them!… 

    Their online menu is weird font, hard to read, so do they offer any bean-flour or sweet potato noodles?

    I don't do wheat so the option was rice noodles. Excellent, but not what you're looking for.

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.

Lots of thick pork, charred, and lots of noodles and toppings. High quality blended chili oil was also a surprise. We'll be back! I ordered Spicy #2 but I think a great order is to try the tonkatsu regular and the spicy #3, order the side of chili oil! Thanks team! Very good job

While this spot does…read moreclassics well, there were some letdowns; however, we had a good experience overall: - Spicy Tan Tan Ramen (Rich pork broth, spicy ground pork, bean sprout, wood ear mushroom, chives, cilantro, green onion, 1/2 seasoned soft-boiled egg, thin straight noodles): Definitely my favorite dish! The broth had great depth, the spice provided a nice kick, loved all the different toppings but I do think there could have been more pork. - Tonkatsu Ramen (Signature rich pork broth, pork belly, bamboo shoot, wood ear mushroom, green onion, 1/2 seasoned soft-boiled egg, thin straight noodles): Same great broth as the tan tan, chashu was perfectly fatty and tender, liked all the toppings again. The noodles themselves didn't really stand out to me. - Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box (Dashimaki, shrimp shumai, salad, pickles, rice, miso soup): Ehh... this was fine, but I'd definitely skip it next time. For the price, the quantity and quality of everything but maybe the chicken (which was smoky but way too sweet) was lackluster. - Chicken Curry Don (Panko breaded chicken cutlet, Japanese-style curry sauce, potato, carrot, onion, nori): The chicken was crispy, but quantity was so small. Curry was tasty, but inadequately warmed. - Raindrop (Plant-based ice jelly, brown sugar syrup, soybean powder): Such a unique dessert- ofc the visual is great, but the texture was interesting and it was subtly sweet too. Ambiance is nice, but the space is pretty small. Service was fast and friendly. There's plentiful parking. 7.5/10 would recommend!

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!
