Urban Noodle

This is my second time eating the Chicken Curry Ramen. It's really good. Everything is seasoned just right. Hats off to the cook(s). I will get around to trying their other Ramen bowls.

I had to share a few highlights from my lunch hangout with with my buddy Serianna at urban noodles We enjoyed few of their new hand pulled and hand shaved noodle dishes along with a few classic favorites. I'm a huge fan of cold noodle dishes on hot days so the hand pulled Spicy Cold Noodles with beef, carrot,cucumber,chilioil,garlic juice,scallion ,cilantro were perfect for me. if you're in the mood for something to warm you up on a rain day, I would recommend either their Tomato Roast Beef Noodle Soup or their rich and hearty Spicy Beef Rib Noodle Soup. I definitely loved their twice cooked takoyaki. I'm not a huge fan of the softer centers found in most traditional takoyaki so I appreciate that UN will cook these until the center is firmer upon request. my buddy enjoyed their Seafood Ramen which included a melody of shrimp, mussels, and scallops in a seafood based broth.

Not that terrible but not that good, either. The good:Service is fast and friendly. The hand pulled noodles aren't the best in the area but they're not bad at all. The pickled radish starter didn't look anything like the photo but it was tasty (mostly soy sauce, a little vinegar) and turned out to be more what I expected from the description. It was the best dish we had. Despite the iffy sanitation score the dining area looked clean and the back of the house seemed okay. The bad:Both broths were fairly tasteless aside from the copious amounts of salt. You could be forgiven for thinking that the word "crisp" means something entirely different in Chinese than it does in English. The chewy, ragged scraps of fish were over seasoned with black pepper and nothing else and were dumped in the very hot broth to boil away. Had I known that the fish was only boiled I would have ordered something else as I really don't care for boiled fish. Fortunately there wasn't that much fish anyhow. Spend a few more dollars and go someplace with a better idea how to season food.

First time checking out Urban Noodle. Nice and clean locations, service is quick.We ordered a few popular items. Overall I enjoyed the soup the best.

The inside of the restaurant is quite casual with a nice mural and lit up sign that says "urban noodles" with the two n's used for a smiley face. My friends introduced me to this place since they usually come to get a quick fixing of ramen. I ordered the pork belly bun and it was a good size portion for one, although my friends told me they formerly served 2 for the same price (a bummer). The takoyaki was still very doughy and not cooked thoroughly. Whenever I took the initial bite out of it, it immediately started falling apart within my chopsticks. Hopefully they can adjust the cooking time to be more cooked thoroughly. The employee was very friendly and accommodating. He was the sole person working, checking people out, then making the food and serving it to the table.

Phenomenal spot and hidden gem! Several things that stand out:- High quality ramen for an extremely affordable price (the broth is authentic and flavorful, and they mean it when they say spicy) - Geared towards Asian audience, in a good way. The food is very authentic. - AMAZING ambiance and atmosphere if you're looking for a quiet spot. My friends and I thought the setting was awesome. There was amazing music, but it was quiet enough to hear one another. Oftentimes restaurants are so loud that it's hard to engage in conversation, but the place was abnormally quiet / restful. I will hands down come back again and take rounds of friends here.

I've been dying to try this place since it opened. Finally, I got around to it and got some ramen to go! I had the Tonkotsu ramen. It was delicious. The broth was very flavorful, I could have that by itself, lol. The order was ready 5 minutes after I ordered and the staff was nice. It wasn't busy, I went on a Wednesday evening around 6pm. It's a cute place, next time I'll have to dine in. I'm not on that side of Durham often, and there wasn't too much over there that I frequent so if I back, it will just be for Urban Noodle!

Really enjoyed myself. Definitely our new date night spot. Service was good. Can't wait to try more things off the menu.

Delicious and the restaurant is so cute and the staff were friendly .I would go again anytime I'm in the area

Not big on Ramen places but I love this one! Everything good y'all . The space isn't huge inside but I'd say there's still adequate seating. One table is right by a window so you can watch the pulled noodles being made by hand! I tried a lot of things.. and I didn't love everything but all of it was definitely decent & most of it was good! If you're not a big sauce person, I'd suggest getting sauce on the side if you order anything that comes with sauce so you can control the ratio.
