    The food is very mediocre here, the noodles are ok. Small servings for a lot of $$ about $12 for a small bowl of ramen that will not keep you full. If you want good ramen go to Raijin Ramen.

    Tucson finally has a legit source for authentic, well-made Ramen soup - on 4 wheels! If all you've ever known "ramen" to be is a prepackaged styrofoam container stuffed with dried noodles for starving college students, then you're in for a REVELATION. I've been dying for Tucson to have a legit source for Ramen, as I've been spoiled with wonderful Ramen houses in Japan and San Francisco. I am delighted to say that my favorite Japanese comfort food has finally arrived at the Old Pueblo. Gonzalez has spent many months perfecting his recipe before launching the food truck a couple months ago, and I must say it was well worth the wait - he's done a fantastic job with his recipe! Warm pork-broth that's been slow cooked for 12 hours, with the right balance of oils, hand-made Ramen noodles from locally sourced flour, a plethora of locally sourced vegetables, a couple slices of tender pork cutlet, and topped with a hard-boiled egg. It's an absolute delight. Track these guys on Facebook and Twitter to find where they're setup for the day, and go see what REAL Ramen tastes like!

    I've heard great things about the Fat Noodle food truck. I'm moving out of Tucson and my friends had a going away dinner for me here at the restaurant since it was new and opened 4 days ago. I'm sad to say I was very disappointed. I got the FN ramen since ALL the sushi/fish options were unavailable. The ramen was flavorless. The noodles and soup were bland and the portion was small. My friend got the spicy ramen and said it was spicy but flavorless. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place to anyone.

    Yummy ramen!

    We ate here when they were on location for the art and craft festival at the Museum of Art. They were pretty accommodating to my picky daughter when making here ramen. She got just noodles, mushrooms and broth and it was spectacular! The broth is amazing and makes the whole dish come together. I am all for small businesses and food trucks but I do not like their prices and I say their's because most food trucks are way to over priced. This one was no different. As yummy as it was the prices are just too high.

    Fat noodle came to my place of work during lunch and I ordered the house ramen. For 10 bucks it was not worth it. Maybe for 8 because there are better ramen for cheaper. The 520 egg in the ramen was spot on. I haven't seen a restaurant around town who does a soft boiled egg. The closest is obon with their poached egg. Broth had a ginger, soy sauce, and mushroom flavor to it. Was not bad. Noodles tasted more like pasta to me than ramen and was on the harder starchier side. Not a very good pair with the broth but would see it go well with the stir fry.

    Absolutely delicious! A definite must try! Pre order the burgers if your short on time! They do go fast!

    The spicy ramen. The lighting in this photo is awful, but the ramen is super good!

    I've been looking for this food truck for a while, since they are relatively difficult to locate or their schedule doesn't correspond well with mine. Anyhow, I was not dissapointed. We were able to catch Fat Noodle outside of Tap and Bottle for a celebratory event. Like many of the reviews here suggest, I found the amount to be relatively small, but it was enough to satiate me for the time. We were lucky enough to be the last two orders, as they had run out of joodles. Our order: the spicy ramen special. This ramen is good. I would place it above Yoshimatsu and Sushi Garden and would agree that Ikkyu takes the cake for the best ramen in town. However, Fat Noodle is less of a drive. The handmade noodles are delicious and the broth was admirable. I really enjoyed the amount of meat that they put in and found this to be extremely satisfying. I rated 4 out of 5 stars due to the difficulty in locating this plaxe and the steep pruce. I will be back.

    Wonderful dessert…read more This is a fun experience. You choose your flavors and mix ins (zoom in on the truck photo), and your toppings. The sky's the limit! You get to watch the whole process, stepping ladder provided. Nice, refreshing ice cream dessert. I think it is unique to Tucson. I also had a milkshake. Nice and creamy. The photos, except for the truck, were taken at a Yelp event. His mother was working at the truck when I came in today. They are located at The Pit food truck park at 22nd St. and Pantano. Give them a try! 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Tucson-top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

    After attending an event at the Tucson Arena, we were looking for ice cream/dessert and stumbled on…read moreSweet Rolls and More. What a gem of a truck! Not sure if they move around, but we found them in the downtown area. The gentleman manning the truck, was very friendly and nice. It was very unique in what they do, and he took his time preparing our ice creams. They only had enough of the regular ice cream to do one serving, so I got the Vegan ice cream and my husband got the regular. I must say the Vegan was pretty tasty! It was not as creamy as the regular (of course) but if they only have Vegan left, it is still worth trying this unique version of ice cream and mix-ins. I did the brownie/coconut mix in, with chocolate sauce. My husband did strawberry/banana with strawberry sauce and it was +++++!

    I consider myself a regular of this food truck. . I would estimate about twice a month since July?…read moreIt's the best food truck in Tucson currently. Expect devout followers who arrive 30 minutes early and a 20-person line that forms as the truck rolls up (unless you're at some obscure bar on the south or east side that no one wanted to drive to). Nonetheless, this sandwich is worth it. The chicken is so spicy, so juicy, so crunchy, so HOT, and every single time feels like an experience. As in, when you're done eating the sandwich you go, damn, that was good. And for a brief moment, you enter one of those commercial-like moments of happiness, as Deadpool would say. Sure, everyone has their good nights and bad nights. There were times where the buns were too dry. There's been more than once when they were a few minutes late. There were times where they ran out of avocado slaw-- and gave everyone a super discounted price! I don't believe these instances should matter; they're not common. It's a food truck. It's never going to be the same thing over and over, and that's part of the experience. I would post pictures but that's already covered on their Instagram.

    If you're expecting the chicken sandos from the food truck days . I'm sorry these aren't the same …read more I went to the American eats co food venue for some lunch yesterday . Ordered the x hot , barely received any kind of dusted hot powder on my chicken sandwich, the thighs they used have been switched out to chicken breasts which leave a dry consistency. When they had the food truck my husband and I would always find out and scout which breweries that would be up to stand in line for the chicken sandwiches . But since they moved to American Eats the quality has gone down . Save your money.

    We got the Wonton Noodle Soup, two variations of the Guilin Noodles, and the Guilin Chicken Rice…read more All of the items are solid and there isn't much to critique about, other than the chicken and the rice not being the same temperature (though that's normal). It's not going to be the best you ever had in your life, and if you've been to Southern China, you're not going to be blown away. HOWEVER, it is the homemade taste that makes it good. It doesn't feel like any other restaurant, it feels like you are at somebody's house. Here's the thing, I came in expecting the usual Chinese food affair, but I left genuinely surprised and impressed. This restaurants specializes in Southern Chinese food, which is different from other regions. I am so happy this restaurant and its chains helps the cuisine gain exposure and adds depth to Chinese food in general. Even better, the menu is laid out in a way that it is easy to understand: gluten-free options, allergies, and spice level. The service was great. All though it isn't a "full" sit-down restaurant, everybody there seemed to know the menu well and was happy to be there. As a Cantonese person, it was nice hearing my language being spoken in the kitchen. The restaurant itself was immaculately clean and very modern. We came during early dinner time so the parking lot was near empty and easy to park. Overall, if you've never had Southern Chinese food or are looking for something more authentic than classic Chinese takeaway, definitely check out this location. The cherry on top are the big portion sizes and the price.

    I met my friend here for lunch, wow so much flavor and the amount is unreal. I will have lunch for…read moretomorrow too. The service was great, the people were authentic, and the food was awesome. With the construction going on into a little hard to get in here, but it's worth it.
